Chapter 19: Midnight Talk

At night, the blue brick alleys are as quiet as the starry sky.

The moonlight fell on Coco's little face, making her eyes look clearer and clearer.

Li Guanchao put down the phone, looked back at her, and found that she had some questions, but of course he couldn't explain what the landlord .AVI.

He lit another cigarette and prepared to brew it again.

But Keke lowered his head, looked at his little white shoes, turned them into eight characters, and asked, "My adoptive father and adoptive mother have news, right?"

Li Guanchao spat out a puff of cigarette and let out a 'hmm' without surprise.

Thirteen years old has reached the age where he understands everything.

What's more, Coco was born in a welfare home, and children who have suffered since childhood are generally sensible earlier.

So, it wasn't surprising that she was aware of it, and she should have even thought that she would be abandoned again.

But Li Guanchao understands better than anyone that the things he thinks of come to mind, as long as it doesn't happen, no matter who he is, he will have a trace of luck, and once things come true, sadness and sadness will not be less than he didn't expect.

After Coco heard Li Guanchao's 'um', his body pressed lower and lower, and his small fist clenched out green tendons.

If it was Su Jie who was sitting here now, she might not be able to bear to tell the truth.

Li Guanchao is different, he has a soft heart, but he also has a hard shell.

So he said in an almost emotionless voice: "They don't want you anymore, and they have already asked for permission from the welfare institution." ”

Coco's nails were embedded in the palms of her hands, and her eyes, which didn't want to be weak and tearful, misted and burst out from the corners of her eyes.

Li Guanchao didn't comfort her, took a puff of cigarette and continued: "But you are over ten years old, as long as you don't agree, their negotiation will not be recognized by the law. ”

After these words, there was no more sound in the small courtyard.

The white cat lying not far away raised his eyes, the tail of the little black dog no longer swayed, and Zhao Xiaokai, who was already lying in the wooden shed, stared at the starry sky in the gap between the planks above his head with wide eyes, and did not see the stars.

Time went on like this for a long, long time, so long that the tea in Li Guanchao's hand had completely cooled, and the tea leaves were floating in large pieces at the mouth of the cup, and Coco finally raised his buried face at this time.

No tear stains, no deep breaths.

At the age of thirteen, there may be many things she hasn't learned, but she has long been skilled at suppressing her inner emotions.

Li Guanchao looked at her and said softly: "Actually, there is no need, crying is originally used to vent emotions for human beings." ”

Coco's voice was slightly hoarse, and said, "But crying doesn't help anything except venting." ”

Li Guanchao shook his head: "Crying will help you." ”

Coco asked, "So you cry when you are unhappy?"

Li Guanchao thought for a while: "I shouldn't have anything unhappy, but I'm more soft and sensual when I'm older." ”

"But your voice just now was not soft at all, it was cold like a computer. ”

"That's because I'm going to emphasize the cruelty of things and shatter all your illusions, but.." Speaking of this, Li Guanchao paused and said: "I'm sorry, I did this because I treated you as a child, I thought that even if you were mature at this age, you would collapse and suffer from gains and losses, but you didn't." ”

Coco listened to Li Guanchao's serious apology, and replied seriously: "Thank you, I'm sorry." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, dissolving the originally oppressive atmosphere in the courtyard.

"Then I'll treat you like an adult from now on. ”

"Yes. ”

"So what are you going to do?"

Coco was silent for a moment and then said, "I haven't thought about it, can you let me stay here for a few more days?"

Li Guanchao nodded: "Of course." ”

At this point, the conversation ended, adhering to the principle of never being embarrassed, Coco stood up and said, "Then I'll go back to sleep." ”

Li Guanchao smiled and bowed his hand: "See you tomorrow." ”

......

......

In this world, there are always many misfortunes and disasters imposed on people.

For example, the fact that Li Guanchao lived alone for 10,000 years is sometimes unfortunate for him.

In the long years he spent, he thought about suicide many times, but he missed many opportunities because he was entangled in how to die handsomely.

Later, he figured out that as long as he died, he would not be handsome, so he planned to live another 990,000 years.

However, he thought that he should not be able to complete his goal, because with the destruction of the blue living environment by human beings like a virus today, the blue should not be gone after many, many years, at most it will enter a state of self-repair, but human beings will definitely not, they are also human beings, and if they hang up with the race, they will also die well.

Of course, if technology develops to the point where he can immigrate to other planets, then he will definitely happily go for a walk.

But now that the aura has gone back, although it is very thin, although it has not yet reached the standard of the aura era, it is indeed possible to practice, so there should be no need to go, and he seems to be one step closer to his immortal goal.

However, this also means that there are many dangers, especially when his cultivation is still weak, he can't resist powerful technological weapons, of course, there is a chance to hang up in the process of advancing in this aura era.

So, do you want to live a little more wanton?

Li Guanchao took a sip of herbal tea, interrupting his divergent thinking, then stood up, walked back to his room, tore off the calendar on the bedside, and the top page changed from 28 to 27, which represented the countdown of the Reiki era to 27 days.

......

Today is bound to be a difficult night for Coco.

When she got back to her room, she lay down on the bed, her eyes wide open, and her eyelids seemed to not close.

After lying like this for a while, she heard a faint sound coming from the door, she walked over and opened the door to see the little black dog sitting in the door with his tongue sticking out his tongue, it was still wagging its tail, cute and cute.

Coco squatted down, and the little black dog threw himself into her arms and licked her saliva, not seeming to be angry that he had just been locked out of the door.

Walking back to the room and sitting on the bed, the little black dog was also extremely sensible and did not go to bed, lying down at the foot of the bed, curled up slightly, and coiled into a circle.

Coco put a hand on its little head and tried to lull it to sleep, but she couldn't sleep for a while anyway.

But the little black dog's eyes kept looking up at her without the slightest intention of falling asleep, as if asking something, but a little afraid to do so.

Coco understood, so she bent over, she took the little black dog into her arms, and lay on the bed on her side with it, feeling the temperature it brought to herself, she smiled.

In fact, as early as the first time she hugged the little black dog today, Coco knew that she was the same as it, and there was no difference, maybe the little black dog who came here was better off than her life.
