Lin Qi finished buying a series of daily necessities and returned to the tube building with a large bag and a small bag.

Lin Qi's rented house was on the fourth floor, and when he went up to the third floor, he saw a familiar back.

It's Xiaoqian!

The little girl was sitting on the stairs, with a large schoolbag lying flat on her legs, with an exercise book on it, a pen in her hand, and she looked like she was writing homework.

It's just that from the perspective of the side, the tip of her pen has been suspended in the air, and she has not put down the pen for a long time.

There was still some white ash on the back of the clothes, as if it had just been rubbed.

What's going on? Is this girl also a resident of this building?

Lin Qi searched for his memory, and he really didn't seem to know who lived in the house downstairs.

After all, he really rarely goes out.

"Xiaoqian?" Lin Qi tried to scream.

The little girl turned her head, with a tear stain on her face, and when she saw that a stranger was calling her, she tilted her head, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"How do you know my name?"

Lin Qi blinked and pointed upstairs:

"I live on the fourth floor, and I saw you and your mother at the supermarket just now."

Hearing the word "supermarket", Xiaoqian obviously recalled something, and the light in her eyes dimmed.

She didn't continue to ask, pushed the schoolbag that looked heavy onto the stairs, stood up by herself, patted the dust on her buttocks, and gave Lin Qi the way out of the corridor.

But Lin Qi didn't move, he looked at the little girl's obviously sullen face, rummaged in the shopping bag for a while, and took out the box of biscuits.

"Xiaoqian, do you want to eat, I can give it to you."

Lin Qi looked at her with a smile.

Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment, and a smile of surprise instantly appeared on her face, but this smile only appeared for a moment and then took it back, hesitated for a while, and then said a little reluctantly:

"Mom said you can't just accept gifts from strangers."

Very sensible little girl.

"But I'm not a stranger, I'm your neighbor, and I find this box of cookies to be broken, and I don't like to eat broken biscuits."

Hearing this, Xiao Qian's expression was obviously moved, but she still didn't reach out to take the box of cookies.

"I broke this box of biscuits, Xiaoqian did something wrong, and my mother was very angry."

There was obviously some grievance in the tone, but it was very honest.

"It's okay, let's eat, I'll explain if your mother asks."

Lin Xuan said in a tone of "wrap it up on me", and Xiao Qian seemed to have made up her mind.

put the pen and paper in his hand on the ground, pulled the long sleeve with his hand, and finally stretched out his hands together and took the biscuit in Lin Qi's hand very solemnly.

"Thank you, brother."

"My name is Lin Qi."

"Thank you, Brother Lin Qi!"

Xiao Qian said two thanks in a row, and her polite and well-behaved appearance made Lin Qi feel a little secretly distressed.

She carefully tore open the biscuit wrap and removed the clear plastic tray.

The biscuits inside did break quite a bit, and when she moved the plastic paper tray, a few crumbs stuck to her hands.

She seemed to reflexively want to put her hand to her mouth and lick it, but halfway through it she remembered that it was outside, and there was a big brother standing next to her.

She smiled embarrassedly at Lin Qi, put her hand down, twisted a biscuit with her thumb and forefinger, and sent it to her mouth very smoothly with her little hand.

A few crumbs fell, and her eyes showed a little distress, but then she seemed to taste the deliciousness of the biscuits.

A happy smile appeared on his face.

"Is it delicious?"

"Uh-huh...... Delicious. ”

The little girl replied inarticulately.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, there's a lot more."

When Xiao Qian heard this, the happiness in her eyes became a little stronger.

"Xiaoqian, where did your mother go, why are you the only one outside the door."

Xiao Qian swallowed the biscuit in its entirety, and said with some unfinished meaning:

"When we went out just now, we forgot the key at home, and my mother went to find a locksmith."

I see.

……

Shen Yan felt very uncomfortable at this time, in order to save the money for that box of biscuits, Xiaoqian was so sad, but because of her own mistake, she forgot the key at home.

It costs more than 50 yuan to find a locksmith, and you can buy two boxes of half biscuits.

blamed herself for being useless, Xiaoqian was obviously such a sensible child, but she had to scold her......

Recalling Xiaoqian's teary eyes in the supermarket just now, she also blamed herself so much that she wanted to cry.

Misfortune is not a one-way street, today God seems to be deliberately embarrassing their mother and daughter, the locksmith near here is not in the store, and she doesn't know where to find the locksmith for a while.

Xiaoqian has been at the door of the house for a long time, could something happen?

No, I have to go back first, put Xiaoqian at an acquaintance's house, and then slowly find a locksmith.

She walked quickly back to the tube building and came to the third floor, where a tall and strange man's back blocked in front of her, as if he was talking to Xiaoqian.

She instantly became vigilant and shouted:

"Xiaoqian!"

Xiao Qian, who was blocked by the man, poked her head out from the side and smiled happily:

"Mom, you're back! Can we go in? ”

It's strange that my daughter seems to be very happy, and she doesn't look as depressed at all.

The man also turned his head, looked at himself, and greeted politely:

"Hello Xiaoqian's mother, I'm Lin Qi on the fourth floor."

Seeing Lin Qi's appearance, Shen Yan was a little surprised.

It's that person, who met in the supermarket!

Is he actually a resident on the fourth floor? Why haven't I seen it before?

Seeing that her daughter was fine, she was also relieved in her heart.

I don't know why, the tall and thin boy in front of him has nothing to do with the word "bad guy" in terms of appearance and temperament.

It gives a very relatable feeling.

Then Shen Yan saw the biscuit in Xiao Qian's hand.

"Xiaoqian, what are you eating?"

Xiao Qian pursed her lips and looked at Lin Qi as if asking for help.

"I gave it to Xiaoqian, I bought the wrong one in the supermarket just now, it's not the taste I like to eat, but Xiaoqian likes it very much, so I gave it to her."

Shen Yan looked at Lin Qi with complicated eyes.

This must be a lie......

This box of biscuits was obviously stuffed into the innermost part by himself, how could it be that he took it wrong.

But seeing her daughter's appearance as if she had made a mistake, her heart softened, and she couldn't bear to blame her anymore.

"Xiaoqian, thank you, brother, don't you?"

"I thank you! It's true! You ask Brother Lin Qi. ”

When Xiaoqian heard this, she knew that her mother could accept this box of cookies by default, and excitedly proved herself.

Lin Qi also nodded seriously:

"Xiaoqian is a very polite child, and you have a good education."

Shen Yan's eyes showed gratitude, and she also understood the boy's mind at this time.

"Mom, hurry up and open the door, the stairs are too hard, it's uncomfortable to sit on."

Shen Yan said with some embarrassment: "Xiaoqian, you may have to wait a little longer, the nearby locksmith is not there, so you have to look elsewhere." ”

"Xiaoqian, take your schoolbag and go to Dr. Zhang's clinic below to wait for your mother, okay?"

"Ah......h

"Doctor Zhang's potion smells so strong, Xiaoqian doesn't like that smell......

Xiao Qian was obviously reluctant.

She looked at Lin Qi and suddenly said:

"Mom, can I go to Brother Lin Qi's house for a while?"

In the conversation just now, Xiao Qian knew that Lin Qi lived alone.

"Xiaoqian, don't be willful, Brother Lin Qi is also very busy." Shen Yan was obviously embarrassed to let Xiao Qian trouble Lin Qi again.

"Yes, I also have tables and chairs at home, and I am usually reviewing and preparing for the exam, Xiaoqian's mother, if you can trust me, let Xiaoqian come."

"It's good that you can come and pick her up later."

Lin Qi said very happily.
