Chapter Seventy-Four: A Little Episode in the Amusement Park
The little boy ignored people, and his eyes fell on Ji Xincheng's face with vigilance.
Ji Xincheng unconsciously stepped back, tried not to touch him, and asked again, "Or do you need help?" Are you lost? ”
The little boy not only ignored Ji Xincheng this time, jumped down the stone steps, turned around and left.
Ji Xincheng, who was left in place, was a little stunned, and at the same time a little comforted, such a good-looking little boy was really afraid of being abducted, but he seemed to have his own thoughts, it seemed that her worries should be superfluous.
Seeing that the little boy had walked away, Ji Xincheng continued to look for an ice cream shop.
bought the flavor Tang Tang wanted, and the sun suddenly appeared. Under the scorching sun, Ji Xincheng tried his best to walk against the shadowed wall, but he didn't expect to walk a few steps before he ran into the little boy from before.
This time, he sat alone in the open-air café of a beverage shop, and his small figure looked smart and lonely.
Ji Xincheng observed from a distance for a few minutes, and it was true that the parents around him were not his family, so he walked over again.
"Kid, can't you find your family?"
Ji Xincheng squatted on the ground, tilting his head slightly to look at the little boy's face, the little boy didn't look at her eyes this time, his eyes fell on the ice cream bag in her hand.
He didn't seem to hear Ji Xincheng's words.
But when Ji Xincheng asked him "Do you want to eat", his eyelashes moved slightly, still staring at the ice cream bag.
Ji Xincheng reached out and took out one of them and handed it to him.
The little boy didn't answer, although his gaze moved from the bag to the ice cream in Ji Xincheng's hand.
"It's okay, you can eat it if you want to. When my sister gave it to you. ”
He remained motionless.
Gradually, Ji Xincheng felt that the boy's eyes seemed to be different from other children, too silent, obviously looking at something, but his gaze seemed to be out of focus.
Not knowing what to do, she put the ice cream back in the bag.
The only clerk in the beverage shop stood at the counter, looking at Ji Xincheng with some vigilance.
Ji Xincheng came back to his senses, thinking of his behavior, he didn't know that he really thought she had bad intentions. This kid is right not to eat what strangers give.
"If you really don't need help, then I'll go?"
She asked, gauging the boy's reaction.
He didn't react.
Ji Xincheng finally decided to leave, the playground is well managed, and there are cameras everywhere, so she doesn't need to worry too much.
But when he turned around, Ji Xincheng saw that the boy was wearing shorts and had a big bruise on his little knee, and the blood was mixed with sand, which hurt to look at, and he was afraid of infection on this hot day.
After much hesitation, he finally stepped forward again and asked him if it hurt.
"Sister will take you to deal with it, okay?"
After so long without seeing his parents come, Ji Xincheng was almost sure that the little boy was lost, and planned to take him to the playground management office. stretched out his hand to lead him: "Don't be afraid, my sister will take you to treat the wound, and then go to your family, okay?" ”
The little boy still didn't react, but when Ji Xincheng took his hand, he didn't push her away.
Ji Xincheng seemed to be encouraged, so he pulled him down from the seat.
"Excuse me, do you know if there is an infirmary in the management office here? The kid was injured and I wanted to take him over to see him. ”
Ji Xincheng asked the clerk of the beverage shop, when the male clerk saw her face with the mask down, there was still a trace of vigilance in his eyes, and he hurriedly showed her the way in detail.
At the end, he was still worried and asked, "Do you remember?" Do you want me to send you there? It's a bit of a walk here. ”
Ji Xincheng shook his head and said that he could stop a tour bus.
The little boy was about to leave, when a young man suddenly walked quickly behind him, with a calm face, and stopped them in their way.
"Please let go of my son!"
The man was of medium height, his face was very handsome, he wore short-sighted glasses, and he looked very gentle, but there was a trace of fierceness in his eyes, which made Ji Xincheng unconsciously clench the little boy's hand.
"You're the father of a little friend?"
The man did not answer him, but reached out to take the child from her hand.
Ji Xincheng didn't move, and the strange thing is that the little boy didn't move either!
In the flash of light, she suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly blocked the man's hand, hid the little boy behind her, and then turned around and asked the little boy:
"Kid, is he your father?"
The little boy didn't nod or shake his head, just looked at Ji Xincheng holding his hand, not knowing what he was looking at.
Ji Xincheng stood up and boldly asked the man opposite with the silent support of the clerk:
"You said you were the father of the child, but he doesn't seem to know you, can you please show me the proof of relationship?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of the man's mouth, and he looked at Ji Xincheng:
"This young lady, is this your latest way? Blatantly taking someone else's child in this way? Proof of relationship? Do you think that when I take my son out, I should bring my household registration book with me, right? ”
His eyes were aggressive, and he regarded Ji Xincheng as a human trafficker.
Ji Xincheng was unmoved, because she believed that children would not lie, and if the other party was really his father, the children should not have no reaction at all.
She looked down at the little boy, and it really didn't look like he was pretending.
Raising his head again, he said solemnly: "I think you are more like a human trafficker!" In this case, why don't we take the child to the management office, there are police officers there, and if it is confirmed that you are the father of the child, of course I can't stop you. ”
"Are you kidding?"
The man's eyes were as cold as ice, and Ji Xincheng swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
"You're afraid to go, are you?"
Despite his apprehension, Ji Xincheng had no intention of letting go.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Tang Tang, who couldn't wait for Ji Xincheng for a long time, came over, glanced at the man with an angry face opposite Ji Xincheng, and asked Ji Xincheng:
"What's wrong?"
Ji Xincheng was about to answer, but suddenly the little boy next to her shook off her hand and pounced on Tang Tang in a few steps.
The little boy's action of hugging Tang Tang's calf tightly surprised everyone present.
"This, this...... Whose child? ”
Tang Tang looked at Ji Xincheng suspiciously, saw Ji Xincheng's dazed face, and then shifted to the face of the man who was obviously more puzzled on the side.
The man had a pair of extremely good-looking eyes behind the lenses, staring at Tang Tang with disbelief.
After a while, the man came back to his senses and first apologized to Ji Xincheng.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't find my son just now, and I was a little anxious, so I thought about it......"
He seemed a little excited, raised his hand and wiped his face, and only after he calmed down did he continue: "You shouldn't be treated as a human trafficker, I officially apologize to you!" My name is Xu Mo, this is my son Xu Tong, because something happened when I was younger, and my mental state is ...... It's not very good, he doesn't like to communicate with people, so if you just ask him, he won't respond. ”
When he apologized apologetically, he sometimes looked at Ji Xincheng and sometimes looked at Tang Tang, but his attitude was extremely frank.
"Human traffickers? You say her? Tang Tang laughed, "It's good that she doesn't sell it to others!" ”
Xu Mo explained the reason for such a misunderstanding, "I just went to buy him a bottle of water in the morning, and when I turned around, I couldn't find anyone...... Well, I'm really sorry! ”
"It's okay, if it were me, I'd think the same way. I saw him sitting there alone, with no one around, and I was worried about whether he was lost. ”
Ji Xincheng also laughed, then glanced at Xu Tong distressedly, and said to Xu Mo: "He probably fell and broke a big piece of his knee, you can take him to bandage it first." ”
Xu Mo nodded again and again, looked at his son again, but still held Tang Tang unrestrained.
"Little friend, you ...... Know me? ”
Tang Tang had already squatted down at this time, and she held the little boy's arm, wanting him to let go, so as not to be caught by her squatting action.
The little boy's hand did loosen, but the next moment, he slammed into Tang Tang's arms and hugged her neck tightly.
Tang Tang was taken by his sudden movement and almost fell backwards, but Xu Mo, who was watching from the side, quickly stepped forward and held her back steadily.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Tang Tang thanked the man, but he couldn't get up, but seeing the little boy's cute and small body, he simply hugged him.
Xu Tong pressed his head tightly against her neck, which made Tang Tang both embarrassed and funny, and when he didn't answer, he turned to his father:
"...... is he?"
Xu Mo didn't seem to be able to answer, so he tried to pick up his son.
"Xiao Tong, come to Dad."
But the boy hugged Tang Tang's neck more and more, ignoring his father, which made Tang Tang cough with difficulty breathing.
Xu Mo had no choice but to say to Tang Tang and Ji Xincheng:
"Can you trouble the two of you and take him to the infirmary with me?"
Ji Xincheng glanced at Tang Tang, being stuck to the child like this, his face was still smiling, thinking of Tang Tang's too many impatient moments on weekdays, he felt a little amazing in his heart.
This kid is so good-looking, Ji Xincheng replied for Tang Tang: "It's okay, let's go over together." ”
Because it was a bit far, they stopped the sightseeing car in the playground.
Tang Tang put Xu Tong on his lap and talked to him.
"Why do you hold your sister as soon as you see it? Do you also think that your sister is particularly good-looking? ”
“……”
"If you don't speak, then I'll take you by default! How old are you that little devil, you know if it's good-looking or not? Did your mom teach you? ”
Xu Tong still didn't speak, and the movements that were originally carefully staring at Tang Tang's face were retracted, and then he hugged her neck tightly.
I'm afraid she'll suddenly disappear.
Ji Xincheng, who was sitting opposite Tang Tang, couldn't help but look at Xu Mo, who was always looking at Tang Tang.
The other party noticed it and gave Ji Xincheng an unnatural smile:
"My wife has passed away, and she has a picture of her wearing the same color that this young lady is wearing today, probably ...... My son is treating her like a mother. ”
Xu Mo tried his best to explain in a relaxed tone, but the sadness that passed in his eyes still couldn't help but be moving.
Tang Tang didn't expect that he casually exposed the sadness of the father and son, stuck out his tongue, and gently patted Xu Tong on the back to comfort him.
"I'm Ji Xincheng, she's Tang Tang, you can call us by name directly."
Xu Mo was a little surprised when he heard Ji Xincheng's name, Ji Xincheng asked him why, he only said: "I didn't expect to see a star here." ”
After bandaging Xu Tong's wounds, Xu Tong still held Tang Tang's hand.
Xu Mo promised him a lot of wishes, and the child was not tempted at all.
Tang Tang was a little uncomfortable, and asked Ji Xincheng for help.
Ji Xincheng thought about it, then stepped forward and said to Xu Tong, "Do you still want to see Sister Tang Tang?" ”
Xu Tong was silent, but his eyes moved, and Tang Tang's hand was obviously tightened.
Ji Xincheng smiled. "Then we'll play together a lot in the future, okay?"
Xu Tong nodded this time, although it was slight, but Xu Mo's eyes were faintly wet with gratitude.
"So, if you're injured today, go home with your dad first, and when the injury on your foot heals, we'll play together again, what do you think?"
Xu Tong didn't make a sound, Ji Xincheng looked at Tang Tang, Tang Tang immediately understood what Ji Xincheng meant, and hurriedly squatted down and said to Xu Tong:
"I promise, as long as you obediently heal from your injuries, we will definitely find a chance to take you out to play. All right? ”
Xu Tong not only nodded this time, but also let go of his hand, with a reluctant well-behavedness.
Ji Xincheng then smoothly asked Tang Tang to add WeChat to Xu Mo, she said: "Such a young child, I have to do my best to do what I promised him, and when his injury is healed, you can contact Tang Tang, she will be happy to help!" ”
Xu Mo thanked Ji Xincheng and thanked Tang Tang again before leaving with his son.
As soon as the father and son left, Tang Tang put on a face:
"Ji Xincheng, what do you mean? You're really a human trafficker this time, and you're going to sell me, aren't you? ”
"Look at this kid, my heart will melt if I look at it again! Don't you think it's earned? ”
"What earned! Ji Xincheng, your own emotional problems have not been solved well, what do you care about others? Yes? It's so direct, I'm afraid that people won't know that you sisters and I can't get married, right? ”
"You didn't see it, Xu Mo's eyes are going to be staring at you!"
"People are looking at his son, Ji Xincheng, your eyes have been led astray by Gu Shaoze!"
"The next time I see Xiao Tong, I want him to change his name to Auntie, and he can't mess up his generation......"
"Ji Xincheng, you're not finished!"
The two laughed, in the playground, in the sun.
They also thought that this might just be an episode, and there are always many such and such episodes in life, which may be in the middle of it at the time, but it is also easy to accidentally forget.
A week later, just when Tang Tang thought that the other party had forgotten about it, Xu Mo called.
"Hello Miss Tang, I'm Xu Mo!"
After getting Tang Tang's "um" response, he said at the other end: "We have a fireworks show here the day after tomorrow, Xiao Tong likes fireworks very much, I want to invite Miss Tang and Miss Ji to participate in a week, I don't know if there is such an honor?" ”
