Chapter 154 Don’t go to that place again

The topic was only mentioned briefly and Xia Qing didn't say much more about it.

But she had made up her mind. She thought the lifestyle of Lu Anzhi described in the book "Retirement with the Queen of Pop" that Lin Guzhi bought was really good.

You can write songs and sing them yourself, but you don’t need to appear in public. This will reduce your exposure and have less impact on your daily life.

After dinner, Xia Qing and Lin Guzhi sent Bai Qing back home, and then they took Xiaoxi back home.

Xiaoxi slept with Xia Qing that night. Lin Guzhi and Xia Qing seemed to have formed some kind of tacit understanding. Xiaoxi slept with Lin Guzhi for one night, and then slept with Xia Qing for another night, and so on.

However, when Xia Qing was lying in bed at night, he couldn't help but think: This situation will end sooner or later, and maybe it won't last long.

After all, the uncle is a man. Xiaoxi is growing up, and she can't keep sleeping with the uncle.

And when I get married to the uncle someday, won't I have to sleep in the same bed with him at night? Should Xiaoxi have her own little room by then?
……

What are you thinking about?! Why do you suddenly think of getting married and sleeping in the same bed?!
Don’t let your imagination run wild! ...

Sleep with Xiaoxi, not with the uncle! Yes, sleep with Xiaoxi, not with the uncle!

Xia Qing was lost in thought. She turned her head and saw that Xiaoxi, who was lying next to her, had not closed her eyes to sleep.

The curtains were not drawn tightly, and moonlight seeped in through the gaps in the curtains, allowing Xia Qing to see Xiaoxi's face clearly.

The little girl was lying on her back with her arms and legs spread out, her eyes wide open, staring at the bedroom ceiling, no one knew what she was thinking.

"What are you thinking about, Xiaoxi?"

Xia Qing couldn't help but ask curiously.

Xiaoxi didn't turn around to look at Xia Qing. She continued to stare at the ceiling and answered Xia Qing, "I'm thinking about Ajie, Porridge, Heizi, Laochou..."

"Who are these?"

Xia Qing asked.

"Yes……"

Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't think of a word to define and summarize the names she mentioned. She thought for a long time before saying, "Companions."

"My companion."

Xia Qing didn't realize anything and said, "When we have a chance in the future, let's go find your friends together, okay? We can go play with them."

Xiaoxi didn't say anything.

Xia Qing looked at Xiaoxi again, and was stunned to see that Xiaoxi looked worried and sad. She wanted to ask again, "Is it okay?", but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly thought of something and finally did not say anything.

"Go to bed quickly, Xiaoxi. We have to go to kindergarten tomorrow morning."

She finally said this.

"Ah."

Xiaoxi agreed and closed her eyes.

Xia Qing also closed her eyes, but she was not asleep, she was always paying attention to Xiaoxi beside her.

She had slept with Xiaoxi for many nights, so she was very familiar with the little girl's sleep state. She listened for a long time before she heard Xiaoxi's breathing gradually becoming heavier, and she was sure that she must have fallen asleep.

Then she opened her eyes and sat up in bed.

Glancing to the side, I saw that the little girl had indeed fallen into a deep sleep.

She smiled gently, tucked the quilt for Xiaoxi, then quietly got out of bed, tiptoed to the door, opened it, went out, and gently closed the door.

She walked to the door of Lin Guzhi's bedroom and hesitated whether to knock, but as soon as she raised her hand, the door opened.

Lin Guzhi seemed to have known that she was coming and opened the door for her. "Uncle..."

Xia Qing called out softly, feeling a little unhappy.

"come in."

Lin Guzhi opened the door for Xia Qing and said.

Lin Guzhi knew that Xia Qing had come over, of course. He heard everything clearly, including the conversation between Xia Qing and Xiao Xi just now.

After Xia Qing came in, he closed the door gently, then sat down beside the bed and waited for Xia Qing to speak.

There was a large mat in the room with a lot of toys on it. They were all bought by Xia Qing. Xiao Xi had placed the toys neatly, and it looked like she treasured them very much.

Xia Qing sat down on the mat next to the toys, hugged her knees with her hands, hesitated for a while, and then said to Lin Guzhi: "Uncle, I just heard Xiaoxi talking about her old friends, Heihei and the like. But when I said I would take Xiaoxi to play with them in the future, Xiaoxi stopped talking. They are... they are..."

She couldn't continue talking.

Lin Guzhi nodded.

Xia Qing was now certain that his guess was correct, and his mood became even more depressed.

Lin Guzhi said: "She mentioned these friends to you, right? She must have been in kindergarten today, thinking back to the past, and wanted to share her current life with her former companions. It's a pity that she can no longer share it."

Those former companions, like the children in the kindergarten, always revolve around Xiaoxi. Compared with mature adults, Xiaoxi has a better effect on influencing children.

But at that time, crises emerged one after another, and those children were always changing, some came, some went, some died, and some lived. In the end, when the world was on the verge of collapse, there were no other children around.

"Don't think too much. Xiaoxi is just missing you. You are sadder than her."

Lin Guzhi said.

Xiaoxi has long been accustomed to this change, much more so than Xia Qing.

"Oh."

Xia Qing said "Oh". But she just couldn't understand. She asked, "Uncle, can I ask you something? Where did you go and what did you do before? Why was it so hard?"

Lin Guzhi smiled and said, "You can think of us as coming from another world, a world like the end of the world, or you can think of us as those places abroad where wars are constantly raging.

“Anyway, the rules are broken, there are no laws, everything is based on strength, and everyone is struggling to survive.

"I still can't imagine it. I can actually come back and bring Xiaoxi with me."

Xia Qing pursed her lips and looked at Lin Gu with heartache.

Just as I guessed.

The uncle had indeed lived a dangerous and difficult life. No wonder he had such skills.

Xia Qing was in mixed emotions, and suddenly she felt an impulse. She stood up, walked to Lin Guzhi, and put her hands around Lin Guzhi's head.

"Uncle, don't go to places like that again."

she said softly.

Lin Guzhi was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yeah."

After a long time, Xia Qing let go of Lin Guzhi.

Feeling the waves recede, Lin Guzhi couldn't help but smile and said, "No wonder Xiaoxi didn't want you to hug her like this."

Xia Qing's face immediately turned red, and he became angry and said, "Go to hell, you stinky uncle!"

After saying that, he fled back to his bedroom, lay on the bed and listened to his thumping heartbeat.
