"But..."

Ji Xiao still wanted to insist, owing others favors is not good after all, what else did she want to say, Alan directly interrupted her: "Miss Ji, you can try to accept my help, it's not that difficult." ”

There was a pause. "I've got a meeting to go, so let's do it first."

With that, Alan closed the line.

Ji Xiao hung up the phone in a complicated mood, perhaps, when she became more familiar, she should go to find a house by herself.

On Monday, the weather was good, the temperature in Hezhou was cooler than in Beijing, it was already autumn, Ji Xiao put on a thin moon-white knitted sweater, and she also wrapped a light blue scarf that was not too thick.

After sending Evelyn to school, Ji Xiao went directly to the company.

I cooked a little more today, Ji Xiao originally wanted to give one of the boxes to Xu Zixuan, but when she arrived at the company, she found out that she had a cold, so she asked for leave and went to the hospital today.

It just so happened that Sister Li, the head of the design department, walked in. Ji Xiao stood up and asked her with a smile: "Sister Li, it's so early, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”

Sister Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Ji Xiao handed the lunch box in his hand to her: "Then this, I'll give it to you." ”

"You did it yourself?"

Ji Xiao nodded.

Sister Li took it with some surprise, and didn't forget to sigh: "There are not many girls of your age who can cook." ”

Sister Li is an older woman, in her forties, it is when she has a bad temper, but Sister Li has a very kind temper, usually in the design department, and takes great care of the juniors, she opened Ji Xiao's lunch box, the food in it is relatively simple, but the fragrance is fragrant.

Sister Li took a few bites. couldn't stop admiring: "Xiao Ji, your cooking skills are really good." ”

Ji Xiao replied with a smile: "Sister Li likes it." ”

Because of the fate of this bento box, Sister Li is obviously warm up with Ji Xiao, although she usually takes care of them, but now she cares more about Ji Xiao.

Older women always like to worry about almost a unique characteristic of their age, after Sister Li knew that Ji Xiao was a single mother, she was very enthusiastic about her personal problems, and she was going to introduce her to a partner every once in a while, Ji Xiao only thought that Sister Li was talking casually, prevaricating casually, and it was over.

She didn't expect that once after work. Sister Li actually stopped her: "Xiao Ji, is there anything else to do after work?" ”

"No, is there anything Sister Li looking for me?"

Ji Xiao looked puzzled.

"Good thing."

Sister Li smiled ambiguously, and Ji Xiao wondered: "What the hell is going on, Sister Li?" ”

"You'll find out with me."

Sister Li smiled and pulled her into her car.

Ji Xiao was not familiar with Hezhou, Sister Li just drove forward and didn't tell her what she was going to do, Ji Xiao simply didn't ask, closed her eyes, and leaned on the saddle to take a nap.

After the car stopped, it was already early in Hezhou, and Sister Li patted Ji Xiao's shoulder: "Xiao Ji, it's here." Come down. ”

The car stopped in front of a palatial hotel, Ji Xiao looked at the hotel, and then at Sister Li: "Sister Li, just tell me, what is going on?" ”

Sister Li finally stopped selling Guanzi, and said with a smile: "There is a good young man, Sister Li thought, it is not easy for you to take the child alone, why don't you two meet?" ”

Ji Xiao finally understood what the ambiguity on Sister Li's face meant, she originally thought that Sister Li was just joking with her and talking, but she didn't expect that Sister Li would actually do it as a thing.

Ji Xiao couldn't cry or laugh. She shirked Sister Li's hand: "Sister Li, I think it's good to be alone now, that, I'm gone, I'll go first." ”

As she spoke, she was leaving, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she had fled in the wilderness.

Sister Li quickly grabbed her: "Oh, Xiao Ji, this young man I introduced to you this time is really good, his family is a company, and he looks like a talent, but he is divorced and has a child, don't you really think about it?" ”

Ji Xiao smiled bitterly, Sister Li is really enthusiastic, but she really doesn't need it.

"Sister Li, I still have something to do, let's go first."

Ji Xiao shirked and hurriedly left here.

Sister Li was still behind her and shouted at her regretfully: "Hey, Xiao Ji, this guy is really good!" ”

Ji Xiao walked faster, and she walked in a panic only to find that she was lost.

Hezhou is not as prosperous as Jingzhou, it is not easy to take a taxi, Ji Xiao looked left and right, standing at a fairly prosperous intersection and planning to take a taxi.

Evelyn should still be waiting at school to pick her up, she thought that Sister Li was just looking for her for some trivial matter, but she didn't expect that she was going to introduce her to someone, Ji Xiao couldn't cry or laugh.

She made a phone call to the school to tell the teacher that she would be late, but the teacher told her that Evelyn had already been picked up!

Ji Xiao sighed in his heart, who picked him up?

She is quite familiar with Sister Li and Xu Zixuan in Hezhou, and she has no acquaintances at all, how could someone pick up Evelyn?

Ji Xiao's heart suddenly pinched, and he asked anxiously, "What kind of person picked up Evelyn?" ”

"A gentleman."

"How can you be so irresponsible and give your child to a stranger casually?!"

Because of anxiety, Ji Xiao's tone was not good.

"Evelyn knows the gentleman."

The teacher patiently explained over there.

Ji Xiao was stunned for a moment, Evelyn knows? How is that possible?

"If Evelyn loses it, I won't let you go!"

She hung up, there are so many tricks up by liars now, what if something happens to Evelyn?

The more Ji Xiao thought about it, the more scared he felt, there was a lot of traffic here, and Ji Xiao couldn't wait for a taxi, so he simply ran to the middle of the road to stop the car.

As soon as she ran out, a car braked sharply and stopped less than 20 centimeters in front of her, and the driver rolled down the window and said in a very unkind tone: "Are you looking for death?" ”

Ji Xiao hurriedly went up, and he didn't care about explaining so much, and looked at the driver with a begging voice: "Please, can you give me a ride?" My child is lost. ”

The driver gave her a roll of the eye and scolded: "Sick." ”

Drove away.

Ji Xiao didn't even have a chance to say something begging.

How indifferent is human affection, at this moment, it is vividly displayed, she tirelessly stopped the car on the road without danger, and was rejected again and again, and finally, Ji Xiao simply grabbed the neck of a driver and looked at him fiercely: "Do you want to send me?" ”

The driver was almost strangled by her, and in order to save her life, he nodded and agreed to send her.

Along the way, Ji Xiao was urging him: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

She didn't go home and went straight to the police station.

When two people go in together, they both want to report the crime.

Ji Xiao reported the case because he lost his child, and the driver reported because he was kidnapped, and the culprit of the kidnapping also came himself.

The policeman looked at them strangely, and after figuring out the matter, he looked at Ji Xiao with a slight frown: "You said the child was lost?" Are there any clues left? ”

"The child was taken directly from kindergarten."

Ji Xiao was about to go crazy with anxiety, and she wished that the police would help her find Evelyn immediately.

After making a record, the police said to Ji Xiao very formulaically: "We will investigate as soon as possible, and you can go back." ”

The driver sitting on the side, hearing what the police said, stood up and made an aggrieved accusation: "Doctor, what about her kidnapping me?" ”

That's it?

The police looked him up and down a few times, a big man of more than 1.8 meters was kidnapped by a girl like Ji Xiao?

In the end, in response to his accusation, the police could only drop one sentence: "Li Mo, right?" Don't you think you should have a little love for a mother who has lost her child? ”

Obviously, they didn't think that there was anything wrong with Ji Xiao doing this, but they also taught Li Mo a lesson.

When encountering such a policeman, what can Li Mo do, he can only consider himself unlucky.

In the end, he had to carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng and send Ji Xiao home.

Along the way, Ji Xiao didn't speak, the night breeze blew in through the open car window, leaving a cool temperature on her face, but she didn't feel cold at all, and the cold sweat on her head came one after another, and she never did it.

Li Mo looked at her like this, silently handed her a tissue, and didn't know how to comfort her, so he only said: "For the sake of you losing the child, I don't care about you." "To the best of my ability.

"Thank you."

Ji Xiao said tiredly.

Soon, Li Mo sent Ji Xiao downstairs in the community, and before getting out of the car, Li Mo licked his lips and said, "What, I wish you to find the child as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm."

Ji Xiao responded.

It was eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and the community was brightly lit, and it was surprising that my home was also lit up.

Ji Xiao was puzzled for a while, the key to her house is only owned by herself, is it a thief?

However, is this thief a little too bold, and he is so grandiose, turning on the light and stealing things?

Ji Xiao opened the door cautiously, walked in with a very light step, and as soon as she arrived at the entrance, she heard a burst of laughter in the room, Evelyn was talking to someone with a smile, she sounded very happy.

Ji Xiao heard Evelyn's familiar voice, ran a few steps, and saw Evelyn sitting and playing in the living room, so she couldn't help but run over and hugged her tightly in her arms.

The feeling of being lost and regained was so strong that she was a little excited, and she held Evelyn a little harder.

Evelyn was a little painful to be hugged by her, and the little milk voice said strangely: "Mommy, you hurt me a little." ”

Ji Xiao realized that she was hugging too tightly, she hurriedly let go of Evelyn, and looked at her apologetically: "I'm sorry, tell Mommy, who picked you up?" ”

"It's me."

Only then did Ji Xiao realize that there was another person in the room.

Allan?

"Alan? Why are you? ”

Alan came out of the kitchen and looked at Ji Xiao and shrugged: "I'm here to do some errands, you have already gotten off work when you arrive at the company, I heard from the company that you have something to do with Sister Li and left, so I picked up Evelyn from the kindergarten by the way." ”

It seems that the teacher in the kindergarten is right, Alan, Evelyn does know each other.

It's that she's too nervous.

Ji Xiao took a deep breath and sat on the sofa.

Alan took off the apron tied around his waist and looked at Ji Xiao suspiciously: "Is the work in the company very heavy?" ”

Ji Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly at Allen: "Maybe I'm too nervous." ”

She even went to the police station just now to tell the police that she had lost her child, and now that she thinks about it, she is really ridiculous, she didn't even figure out the matter, so she went to the police station so recklessly.

She has always been calm and rational, but she did such an irrational thing, Ji Xiao also understood why, in the final analysis, it was just that Evelyn was too important in her heart.

Alan put his apron on the coffee table next to him and said with a smile, "I made Western food, are you interested?" ”

"Western food? Here? ”

Ji Xiao's eyes widened, Western food is so troublesome, can it be done here?

Before Alan could speak, Evelyn climbed on Ji Xiao's body first, and the little girl gave her thumbs up and praised Alan: "Mommy, Alan is great, I've been doing it since I came back home." ”

When they were in California, Alan and Evelyn had always played well, and they got along with each other in a more relaxed way.

Ji Xiao looked at the table full of Western food in disbelief, a little embarrassed, the boss personally made a table of dishes for the employees, what is going on.

Evelyn was very happy, she hadn't eaten them in a long time since she left California.

American steak, apple salad, brownie, Hawaiian salad, clam bisque...

It's all Evelyn's favorite food.

Looking at these dishes, Ji Xiao felt a little guilty, since she came back with Evelyn, she was adding her own preferences to Evelyn, but Evelyn's preferences, she ignored them little by little.

Ji Xiao lowered his head, kissed Evelyn's cheek, and asked gently, "Is it delicious?" Baby? ”

Evelyn ate so happily that she couldn't even bother to talk to her, just nodded vigorously.

Ji Xiao's heart was even more sad.

Alan sat opposite Ji Xiao and said with a smile, "Miss Ji, aren't you going to try it?" ”

Ji Xiao was a little embarrassed: "Alan, thank you for all your help, and thank you for today's dinner." ”

Except for thanks, Ji Xiao really didn't know what to say to express his feelings.

"If you want to express your gratitude, well, eat all the dishes on this table, and clean up the table by the way."

Alan looked at her with a smile, after work, facing Ji Xiao, he has never had the boss's shelf, on the contrary, after work, he is more like a big boy.

Ji Xiao ate a few bites of the food made by Allen, and it was unexpectedly delicious, and Ji Xiao couldn't help but praise it.

"I'm honored to be recognized by Miss Season."

Alan picked up a glass of red wine and raised his glass to Ji Xiao: "Do you mind having a drink with me?" ”

Ji Xiao paused for a moment, and also picked up the wine glass in front of him.
