001 The long wait

Next Chapter

At the ticket exit of the largest supermarket in Whale Sea City, Gu Fan led his daughter to stop in the crowded aisle.

"Mengmeng, can you sit here and wait for your father for a while?" Gu Fan picked up his daughter and sat down on the bench by the aisle.

He pointed to the bathroom next to him and said, "Dad is going to make it easier." ”

Daughter Gu Meng looks no more than five years old, with a little face as red as an apple.

The little girl's black and white eyes are wide open, her eyes are smart and energetic, and she looks like the kind of little guy who makes her father have both a headache and a distress.

"Dad wants to come back soon," Gu Meng patted the plastic bag beside her, which was full of snacks she liked: "If Dad comes back late, Mengmeng will eat all these delicious foods." ”

"You little naughty will make excuses to eat. Gu Fan scratched the tip of his daughter's nose, and he walked to the bathroom with a smile.

Just halfway through, the mobile phone in Gu Fan's pocket suddenly vibrated violently.

He pulled out his phone and walked to the bathroom.

"Evolutionary Path is back in beta, congratulations on your qualification. Do you want to be a hunter, or a prey to be hunted?"

Looking at the prompt on the mobile phone, Gu Fan scolded secretly: "The current mobile phone advertising push is becoming more and more unreasonable, is no one taking care of it?"

Despite his dissatisfaction, Gu Fan still chose to click [Hunter].

"If the game is not good, Lao Tzu will give you a thousand bad reviews on the Internet. Just when Gu Fan was thinking about finding a black dot to complain about the game, a burst of light suddenly shot out of his mobile phone.

"What's going on?" Before he could react, the whole person disappeared into thin air with his phone.

When the change occurred, there were no other customers in the toilet, so no one saw the scene of Gu Fan's disappearance, only Gu Meng in the corridor vaguely saw a little light and shadow in the bathroom.

"Dad is so boring," seeing the light flashing in the men's bathroom, Gu Meng pouted with a slightly disdainful glance: "I have to take a selfie in the bathroom." ”

Ten minutes later, she realized that her father had not come out, and a puzzled expression gradually appeared on the little girl's face.

The calves that were originally swaying to the rhythm of the mall music also slowly stopped at this moment.

"It's so slow, why hasn't Dad come out yet?" Gu Meng muttered and complained, she opened the bag next to her and took out a small box from it: "When Mengmeng finishes eating this box of cookies, Dad should come out, right?"

She carefully tore open the box, took out a slender biscuit stick, and ate it in small bites.

Halfway through her meal, she suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at the person who had come out of the bathroom.

When he found out that it was only the cleaner, Gu Meng showed a look of disappointment on his face, and then lowered his head and seriously ate the half of the biscuit in his hand.

"It's delicious," the little girl licked her fingers unsatisfactorily as she wiped out the snacks in her hand.

She looked at the biscuits in the box, and there was a hesitant look on her face: "The rest of the things, do you want to wait for Dad to come back and eat them together?" The little girl tilted her head and thought about it: "Well, Mengmeng just eat another one." ”

This time, the little girl ate more slowly than last time, and her eyes looked in the direction of the exit of the bathroom from time to time.

Although Gu Meng slowed down repeatedly, the second biscuit was quickly finished.

The little girl who still didn't see her father come out was a little angry, she grabbed the box angrily: "How did Dad take the child, and he actually left Mengmeng here alone." Meng Meng wants to eat another one. ”

The little girl ate one after another, and most of them were wiped out in an instant.

Until there was only the last biscuit left in the box, Gu Meng patted his forehead in annoyance: "It's so bad, Mengmeng almost ate the snacks left for Dad." This one was reserved for Daddy. ”

As he spoke, Gu Meng turned his head to look at the door of the bathroom where there was no movement, and an uneasy look appeared on his face for the first time.

Mengmeng promised her father not to run around. I'm going to wait here for Daddy to come back. The little girl whispered to herself: "Mengmeng is a good child, very well-behaved." ”

An hour later, a mall employee finally noticed this side and saw a little girl sitting alone in a chair.

"Little sister, what about your family?" she squatted in front of Gu Meng and asked softly, "Are you here with your parents, or with your grandparents?"

"Dad went to the bathroom, and he asked Meng Meng to wait for him here. Gu Meng's little hand tightly held the snack bag left by her father, and looked at the woman in front of her vigilantly: "Don't want to cheat Mengmeng away." ”

Her family in the bathroom?

The female supervisor straightened up, and she called out to a male employee: "You go to the men's bathroom and ask who the little girl's father is?"

Ten minutes later, the male employee came out of the bathroom: "I searched all the cubicles, but I didn't see anyone. ”

"You watch her here, don't let suspicious people trick her away. I'll go back as soon as I go. The female supervisor immediately informed her manager and launched a shopping mall radio to find the parents of the lost child.

Soon, announcements looking for careless parents resounded throughout the mall.

"Now parents are really careless," hearing the notice on the radio, Gu Meng didn't realize that he was talking about himself on the radio, and still commented to himself: "Fortunately, Mengmeng's father is not like this." ”

Two hours later, the police of the Public Security Bureau, the staff of the shopping mall and the onlookers had surrounded the exit.

"What a sin, such a cute little girl, it can't hurt anymore. How can a father be ruthless and abandon her?"

"If you want me to say, such a father is simply not human. ”

"Poor little girl, my dear, if she can't find her father. Shall we adopt her?"

The focus of everyone's discussion was Gu Meng, who was surrounded in the middle.

Probably has never had the experience of being watched alone, the little girl curled up in a ball with an extremely frightened look on her face, and she turned a deaf ear to the police's inquiries.

She clutched the plastic bag in her arms, resolutely refusing to believe that she had been dropped.

A few policemen who were close could still hear the little girl whispering to herself: "No, Mengmeng is so well-behaved." Dad will definitely not leave the cute one. Don't block Mengmeng's view, Dad is coming out soon. ”

"When you come out, you can't see Mengmeng, and Dad will be angry. ”

Someone on the side suggested: "Comrade policeman, it's not a way to keep this girl here." Let's take her back to a safer place. ”

"Don't wait, girl. There was no one in the toilet, we all went in and looked at it. "Someone can't help but burst the fantasy of the little girl loudly.

"Otherwise," a young policeman patted the alarm on his chest: "My brother is a policeman, can my brother take you to the bathroom to find your father?" If your father is not there, you can go back to the public security bureau with your brother and wait for your father, okay?"

He was just about to reach out and lead the little girl, but who knew that the other party actually cried "wow": "Woo woo woo - Meng Meng is not going anywhere." Meng Meng is going to sit here and wait for Dad to come back. Woo - Dad doesn't let Meng Meng run around. ”

"Woo - Meng Meng is a good child, Meng Meng listens to her father the most. Woo-"

"Daddy, where are you? Don't leave Meng Meng behind, woo-"

Seeing her crying sadly, someone took out the snacks they bought: "Oh, don't cry little girl, come and eat something." ”

"I don't want your things-" Gu Meng wiped her tears, pushed away the things of the well-wisher, and shouted hoarsely: "You all go away, don't hinder Mengmeng from waiting for Dad here." ”

Just when the police were about to forcibly take away the crying little girl, a cold and piercing voice suddenly came from outside the crowd:

"Let goβ€”Iβ€”daughterβ€”sonβ€”"

It feels like after a 45-degree Celsius scorching heat, and suddenly walking into a cold room at minus 30 degrees.

All the people present who heard this voice shuddered.

Gu Meng, who was originally crying and struggling, also stopped, and she turned her head to look at the man standing at the door of the bathroom.

"Daddy-" The little girl jumped down from the bench, rushed over in three steps and two steps, and threw herself into the man's arms: "Where have you been? ”

Hugging his daughter who pounced on him, Gu Fan's body trembled uncontrollably: "Dad, don't worry, Mengmeng." ”

With Gu Fan's reassuring words that his daughter was fine, the chill that permeated the audience seemed to disappear in an instant, and everyone seemed to feel the warmth of spring returning to the world again.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble for everyone because of my negligence. Gu Fan walked over with his daughter in his arms, and there was still a trace of dryness in his voice, as if a machine that had not been running for a long time had just been restarted.

Now that the father has returned, there is no need for the police to take Gu Meng away.

Seeing that the relationship between father and daughter is so harmonious, with the intuition of the police, there is no doubt worth digging into for the time being.

The young policeman straightened up and lowered his face, and he raised his voice and said, "When you take care of children in the future, you should pay more attention." You have to be glad that there are a lot of people in this world, so you didn't let your daughter suffer any grievances. ”

"Remember, don't be like a madha, let a group of people worry about you. ”

was pointed at and reprimanded by the policemen who were younger than him, and Gu Fan could only say yes again and again.

Seeing off a group of policemen and onlookers, Gu Fan sat on the bench with his daughter in his arms, unwilling to let go for a long time.

"Where did Dad go just now?" Returning to his father's arms, the sadness on Gu Meng's face disappeared, and he turned back into a carefree and cute expression.

Without waiting for her father to answer, she happily picked up the box containing the biscuits and held it up to her father like a treasure: "This biscuit is delicious, Meng Meng has eaten most of it." The rest was specially reserved for Dad to eat, and Dad hurried to taste it. ”

Facing the food handed by his daughter, Gu Fan opened his mouth without hesitation to eat it.

As the food swallowed into his stomach, he received an urgent notice:

[Alert! Alert!]

[If a foreign object is found to be intruding, whether to initiate the autonomous counterattack procedure.] 】

[Counterattack mode selected, high-heat flamethrower enters the countdown.] 】

"Is it delicious?" Gu Meng opened a pair of big eyes, full of anticipation and waiting for his father's evaluation.

[Cancel the counterattack!]

Gu Fan thumped his chest hard, strangling the counterattack procedure in the process.

Facing his daughter's clear eyes with a little question, Gu Fan nodded without hesitation: "Because it's so delicious, it almost choked me." Mengmeng, will Dad take you home now?"

"Well," Gu Meng nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

After that, she looked at her father's face suspiciously: "Where did Dad go just now?"

"It's hard to put into words. ”
