Chapter 34: Good People and Toys

Xiaoxi was very alert. When she heard Lin Guzhi say that the toys were given by the owner of the toy stall, there was a hint of vigilance in her eyes when she looked at the doll toys and the fish tank.

Lin Guzhi saw Xiaoxi's look and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoxi. I am here. You don't understand this world, but I do. There are many good people in this world, just like that grandfather. And Aunt Anxin and Sister Xia Qing, aren't they all good people?"

Xiaoxi thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes." Thinking of Xia Qing giving her a harmonica and teaching her to sing, and Yao Anxin who gave Xiaolin a job and money, her eyes softened unconsciously and she was no longer so alert.

Lin Guzhi added: "Xiao Xi, there are bad people in this world, but there are more good people. I will help you watch and slowly teach you how to distinguish. When we come to this world, we should enjoy life and not live in fear every day."

Xiaoxi blinked, not sure if she understood, but nodded anyway.

Lin Guzhi handed the doll to Xiaoxi and said, "Here, take this. I'll hold the fish tank for you, and you can take a closer look at it when we get back."

This time, Xiaoxi did not hesitate or be wary, and reached out to take the pink doll still in the packaging box.

While holding it in her arms, she took a close look at the toy, as if she wanted to keep the toy in her heart in case it was lost, broken, or she couldn't look at it anymore.

"gone."

Lin Guzhi said.

He turned around and waited for Xiaoxi. The little girl took a few steps forward and walked beside her.

The sun was warm and the breeze was gentle. Two people, one big and one small, walked side by side in the sun and against the wind. Lin Guzhi was holding the fish tank and walking slowly, while Xiaoxi was holding a large toy box in front of him and walking with a swaying pace. They were not walking fast, but they seemed to be walking frequently.

The little girl didn't show any expression, but Lin Guzhi could feel that she must be very happy.

Most of her attention was focused on the doll toy box in her arms, and she held it tightly to prevent it from falling.

This was something that was absolutely unthinkable in the past. Xiaoxi used to be restrained from anything she liked, and would not hesitate to abandon something she liked when it was critical or necessary.

It's a good phenomenon.

Lin Guzhi couldn't help but smile.

Walked out of the park and hailed a taxi.

"Let's go back by car."

He took Xiaoxi into the car and told them the address of Heping No. 1 Community.

Xiaoxi in the car had her legs drooping on the seat. She placed the toy box across her legs, unable to take her eyes off it.

After returning home, Xia Qing was the only one left at home.

Xia Qing had packed the sanitary napkins back into her bedroom. Seeing Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi coming back, Xia Qing immediately noticed what they were holding: "Oh, you bought dolls and goldfish?"

"It was given by a grandfather."

Xiaoxi said. Back in a familiar place, facing familiar people, her guard dropped further, and she took the initiative to agree. This also indirectly proved that she really liked the toy "given" by the strange grandfather in the park.

She also raised the toy box in her hand for Xia Qing to see.

This little girl, who had always been reserved, must be showing off her toys for the first time.

Xia Qing looked at the toy that Xiaoxi was holding up and smiled with narrowed eyes: "It's really beautiful. Which grandfather gave it to you?"

Xiaoxi said, "A grandfather I don't know." Xia Qing originally wanted to ask, "Why would a grandfather I don't know give you a toy?", but when the words were about to come out, she suddenly looked at Lin Guzhi subconsciously, and then she closed her mouth.

Lin Guzhi placed the fish tank on the coffee table, turned around and met Xia Qing's eyes. There was no change in his expression, but Xia Qing felt that he seemed to see the words "Don't ask nonsense" in those eyes.

Xia Qing narrowed her eyes and smiled at Lin Guzhi again, as if she and Lin Guzhi had a tacit understanding.

But Lin Guzhi was a little confused. What was this woman laughing at?

But to be honest, this woman is pretty when she smiles with her eyes narrowed. Her two bright eyes narrowed into two curved slits, and with her delicate and fair facial features, she actually looks a bit seductive, like a seductive vixen.

"Come, sister will open it for you, okay?"

Xia Qing asked Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Yeah." She didn't say another word.

But this answer made Xia Qing very happy.

Having known Xiaoxi for more than half a month, Xia Qing already knew exactly what kind of personality this little girl had and how she treated others.

In her opinion, Xiaoxi's ability to be so unguarded in front of her and handing the toy to her to open was another breakthrough.

The progress of the strategy has moved forward a bit, so of course she was happy.

After opening the toy box for Xiaoxi and taking out the doll inside, Xia Qing taught Xiaoxi how to play, how to change the doll's clothes, etc. Xiaoxi watched carefully at the side, as if watching Xia Qing play meant that she had played.

As a result, after a while, Xia Qing had a lot of fun playing. However, when she was playing with the toys, she did not ignore Xiaoxi, and kept explaining to Xiaoxi and letting Xiaoxi participate.

After fiddling with the toy for a long time, Xia Qing finally had enough fun. She taught Xiaoxi all the ways to play with the toy, then stuffed the doll into Xiaoxi's hands and let Xiaoxi explore and play with it by herself. She said to Lin Guzhi, "I'm sorry to bother you to go out and hide."

In fact, Xia Qing wanted to say this to Lin Guzhi when he and Xiaoxi just came back, but when she saw the toys in Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi's hands, she said this without any time to apologize.

Now that she had gotten away from the topic of toys, she was finally able to express her apology.

Lin Guzhi shook his head and said, "Doberman will be here soon. I wonder if it's convenient for you to be seen. Do you need to hide?"

Xia Qing: "..."

So is retribution coming? I just asked Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi to avoid it, and now Lin Guzhi wants me to avoid it.

But after a little thought, she said, "I don't need to avoid it. Aunt Song knows I'm here, and her son probably knows too. There's no need for me to hide, as long as I don't get discovered by the paparazzi."

"Row."

Lin Guzhi nodded and didn't say much.

Anyway, he was just reminding Xia Qing. He didn't care as to what to do specifically. Let the woman decide for herself.

But then he saw Xia Qing's face suddenly change, and he muttered to himself: "Oh... why did I forget this?! Aunt Song knows that I am here, and Du Bin arranged for you to be here, so will Aunt Song know that you and I live here?!

"My mom and Aunt Song are close friends who can talk about anything. If Aunt Song knows, will my mom know? If my mom knows, then doesn't that mean everyone in my family knows about it?!"
