The truth is often hidden in jokes, not to mention that I am just cosplaying. I don’t know if Tang Xin can understand the seriousness of my words just now.

After hearing this, Tang Xin couldn’t stop laughing. Tears almost came out of her eyes. “Hahaha, this is so funny. Xiaomeng can’t even say sweet words! How unsophisticated!”

“Tang Xin, don’t laugh!” Looking at her happy smile, I was dazed for a moment.

Today, there are two people + a dog at home, happy~

Chapter 98 Qi Zhu

At twelve o’clock noon, Sister Lin came back personally carrying two dozen lunch boxes.

“Brothers and sisters, it’s time for dinner.” She shouted to everyone.

Tang Xin and I were each given a box lunch, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, including braised chicken, a lion’s head, three or four cauliflowers, and a few vegetable leaves. Because the venue was too small and there was no room, Tang Xin and I had to take a cardboard box from the side and spread it on the ground near the company’s exhibition hall to eat on the ground.

“Wow, this is my first time eating a box lunch.” Tang Xin opened the transparent plastic lid on the red box lunch and looked at it in surprise, “Is this Xiaomeng’s first time too?”

“Me? I eat a lot. When I was in school, I would order a takeout lunch if I didn’t go home for dinner.”

“Mine is different from yours?” Tang Xin looked at her own, then at the lunch box in my hand, and continued to ask in surprise.

“Yeah, it’s randomly packed in bulk. It’s normal.” I’m used to it.

“Your lion head looks delicious. Can I have some?” Tang Xin stared at the lion head in my lunch box with starry eyes.

“Here, take it.” I handed it to her.

Tang Xin carefully took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat from the lion’s head, put it into her cherry mouth, and began to chew it gently.

“Hmm! It tastes good.” She nodded. “Wait! If your aunt knew that we ate the same lion’s head, she wouldn’t beat me, right?”

“How horrible, unlike me, I would only feel distressed… Hey, why did you hit me?”

“Eat well!” I tapped her head with my chopsticks, which I hadn’t started eating yet. “Don’t talk while eating.”

“Oh……”

We finished our meal in a hurry, which took only about ten minutes. Maybe because she was very hungry, Tang Xin ate the plate clean and almost licked it.

“You eat so cleanly!” I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“Hehe, it tastes especially good. Xiaomeng is not a good boy. She didn’t eat the cauliflower!” Tang Xin looked at me and pretended to be an adult while instructing me.

“It’s not tasty, it’s too soft.” I shook my head. “After all, I am a person who pursues delicious food.”

“Then I’ll eat it. It’s not good to waste food.” Tang Xin picked up two cauliflowers and ate them.

Seeing Tang Xin’s serious look, I couldn’t help scratching my head in embarrassment. I felt a little embarrassed. I’m such a grown-up, but my awareness is not as high as that of a child?

“Are you full?” Auntie came over with a lunch box and asked us, “If it’s not enough, you can eat from that one. Your sister Lin bought some more.”

“I’m full.” I pointed at my stomach. My appetite has never increased. Tang Xin, on the other hand, didn’t seem to enjoy her meal enough.

“I’m almost done too.” Tang Xin nodded and said, “There’s no need to eat too much, or you’ll feel uncomfortable.”

“Shall I take out the trash?”

As I said that, I took the empty lunch box from Tang Xin and went to throw away the trash in the designated trash can. However, I don’t know when this exhibition hall has become crowded. And even though the air conditioner is always on, the temperature is rising instead of falling, and it is getting hot.

When I threw the lunch box into the trash can and was about to go back, an unusual situation caught my attention. A little girl of about four or five was spinning around in the crowd in front of me, her big eyes flickering with fear and terror, her eyes just hanging in the air, as if she wanted to grab something, but was too timid to move.

Lost with your parents? My brows tightened, and I quickly walked up to her and asked, “Little girl, what’s wrong?”

The little girl had a round, pink face, big black eyes that seemed a little timid, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She answered me with a trembling voice: “I can’t find my mother…”

As expected, they got separated. I don’t know which careless parent didn’t keep an eye on his or her child.

“Did your mother ask you to wait for her there just now?” I asked her.

“No…” She muttered, aggrieved.

“Then can I take you to find your mother?” I took her little hand and said gently.

“Okay…” The little girl was a little girl. She agreed easily without any guard in her heart. If a bad guy came, he would have kidnapped her immediately, right?

Because our exhibition hall was not far away, I decided to go to Tang Xin for help. When I walked back to the exhibition hall holding the girl’s hand, Tang Xin looked at me in shock: “In just a short while, you gave birth to a child?”

“Even science fiction novels wouldn’t dare to write like that!” I complained unhappily, “I saw this girl and her mother lost on the street, so I brought them back to ask you for help.”

Tang Xin giggled, squatted down and touched the little girl’s head: “Don’t be afraid, little girl, your sister and brother are good people, can we help you find your mother together?”

“Yeah…” Although she agreed, the little girl was still a little shy. She grabbed my skirt and half hid.

“By the way, what’s your name?”

“Qi Zhu…”

Tang Xin took her other hand, thought for a moment and said to me: “Let’s go find the security personnel first and ask them to broadcast the news to the entire museum.”

I nodded, agreeing with this idea. We held the little girl’s hands, one on each side, and walked towards the security room.

When I arrived at the security room, I explained everything that had happened to a man who looked like the captain.

“Lost?” He looked at me in surprise. “Okay, let’s do this. We don’t have enough manpower. I’ll help you broadcast a message, and then you two children can go to your exhibition hall to rest. I’ll ask your parents to listen to the broadcast and come find you. If we still can’t find you after an hour, can we consider calling the police?”

“No problem.” I had no doubts about this solution. The security guard’s attitude was also very good, and all communication went very smoothly. “We are in the W5 area A3 exhibition hall. If parents can’t find us, could you please guide us here?”

“Good~”

After we pulled little Qizhu out of the security room, a missing person notice was heard in the exhibition hall.

“Now playing an emergency announcement, a little girl named Qi Zhu has been separated from her guardian. Parents, please go to the A5 exhibition hall in Area W3 to take your child away after hearing the broadcast…”

I stopped and gently pinched her little face: “This way, your mother will come to find you~”

“Um…” The little girl nodded with a red face, looking a little shy.

On the way back, the little girl was jumping around. It seemed that she was no longer afraid. She had put aside her worries and seemed much more lively and active.

“Look, such a young couple? Their child is so big already?” A few sporadic whispers came from nearby, probably talking about me and Tang Xin.

I was just about to tease Tang Xin.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xin turned around and said to me, “Husband, hold the child tightly, don’t let her get lost~”

Seeing Tang Xin’s eyes moving around, my face suddenly felt hot. I was actually teased by Tang Xin? !

–

Children are actually quite annoying. 233 was annoyed by the naughty children of my relatives. Why are there no cute lolis? ?

Chapter 99 Reunion

“So, this is why you brought a child back?” Sister Lin’s mouth was so wide open that an incandescent bulb could almost be put in it.

“Yeah.” I nodded. I had just explained the situation to both sides and felt a little thirsty, so I grabbed a bottle of Nongfu Spring and started drinking it.

“Okay… this is really interesting. Why can’t I pick up any loli when I go out?” Sister Lin muttered.

“Hey, if you do this again, I’m going to call the police.” My aunt slapped her forehead with one hand, looking very annoyed by this out-of-touch boss.

“Brother, I’m thirsty too.” Little Qizhu beside me stared at the Nongfu Spring in my hand and wanted it very much.

“Oh, sorry, I forgot to get a bottle for little Qizhu!” I blamed myself very much, realizing that I really had no experience in taking care of children, or at least I did not have the sense of responsibility to take care of children.

I got a bottle of mineral water for little Qizhu, and worried that she wouldn’t be able to open the bottle cap, I helped her open it.

Seeing her gulping down water, Tang Xin came over and said to me, “Xiao Meng is so gentle.”

“No way.” My face turned red, “I just feel that little Qizhu is so pitiful, I should take good care of her.”

Maybe I spoke a little loudly and Qizhu heard it or something, she blushed and buried her head in my gown, and I had no choice but to let her hold me.

After a while, she raised her head and whispered, “Brother, I feel like peeing.”

“Okay, brother will take you to the bathroom.” I turned and gave Tang Xin a look, indicating that she should go with me.

When we got to the bathroom, the little girl stopped at the door. She hesitated a little, turned to me and said, “Brother, I don’t dare to go alone.”

“Eh? Is that so?” I scratched my head. “Then I’ll go with you.”

But just as I took a step forward, Tang Xin grabbed me and said, “Wait a minute!”

“What?” I looked at her puzzledly.

“Don’t you think about what you are wearing? Do you want to be considered a pervert when you go in?” Tang Xin looked at me as if I were an idiot. “I’ll go in with her.”

As she spoke, Tang Xin took Qi Zhu’s hand. Although it was obvious that Qi Zhu was not happy about it, she must have understood something, so she did not show any resistance and went in.

Instead, I stood at the door and fell into deep thought. When did I start to feel comfortable going to the women’s restroom? This was a question, should I go to the men’s restroom now? I quickly shook my head. How could I pee while standing? There were no parts!

Just when I was daydreaming, Tang Xin came out of the bathroom holding Qi Zhu’s hand.

“Why are you standing there like an idiot? Let’s go~” Tang Xin patted my shoulder.

Only then did I come out of my fantasy (as for what I was fantasizing about, please use your imagination), shook my head, and followed.

It was 2pm, and we returned to our own exhibition hall. Perhaps because Sister Lin’s game was really attractive, it was already crowded inside, so Tang Xin, Qi Zhu and I had to stand outside the exhibition hall and wait. The radio was still playing the missing person notice intermittently, but her mother still didn’t show up.

Qi Zhu gradually became anxious, and she stood on tiptoe from time to time to try to see through the crowd and find the familiar target among the passers-by. But she was short and couldn’t even reach other people’s thighs, so how could she see far?

“Brother, mom won’t abandon me, right?” Qi Zhu’s eyes were glistening with tears and she was about to cry.

“How could that be?” I realized the child’s sensitive nerves and quickly touched her head. “Qi Zhu is so well behaved, how could your mother bear to abandon you?”

“Well, Qizhu has been listening to mommy very well… Mommy said she would throw me away if I wasn’t good. Qizhu has always been very obedient…” As she spoke, she began to sob softly.

“Ah!! Don’t cry, don’t cry, Qizhu is the best.” I was suddenly flustered and didn’t know what to do.

“Be good, little Qizhu, your mother must still be on the way looking for you. Can you give mom a little time?” Tang Xin also squatted down, took out a tissue from her pocket, and gently wiped her tears.

“How about we go to the place where she went missing? Maybe her mother was so anxious that she didn’t even listen to the radio and was just looking for her.” I thought that just waiting was not a good idea. “If we can’t find her, we can ask the police for help.”

“okay.”

After Tang Xin and I said hello to my aunt, we took little Qizhu back to the place where she first got separated. It just so happened that a big game company’s booth here had started an event, and the area was crowded with people, so it was really hard to find someone.

It was inevitable that people were crowded together. Qi Zhu was too short, and it seemed a bit dangerous to squeeze in the crowd. I simply picked her up, put one arm around her, and held her against my chest. In this way, Qi Zhu was safe, but I was tired. Within two minutes, my arms began to tremble slightly, and the soreness stimulated my brain.

The little guy actually liked this gesture very much and directly stretched out his arms and hugged my neck: “Thank you, big brother.”

Listening to the little guy’s soft voice like glutinous rice, I suddenly felt that my arms were not so sore anymore.
