Chapter 4 I really deserve to die

"Is this... your daughter?"

Xia Qing asked.

The appearance of a little girl in front of her made Xia Qing feel relieved. Although her mind told her that the world was full of strange things and that the child could not be ruled out as a vicious pervert, she still breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

"Yes."

Lin Guzhi nodded and did not deny it.

If it was three years ago, he might be mistaken for Xiaoxi's brother by the woman in front of him, but after three years of the apocalypse, he should look much older now. It is normal for him to be mistaken for Xiaoxi's father.

Besides, Xiaoxi has no other relatives in this world except herself. If I don't accept Long Ye's instructions and take on the responsibility of taking care of Xiaoxi on his behalf, who can Xiaoxi rely on?
"Your daughter is so beautiful."

Xia Qing said.

The little girl sitting on the sofa was indeed very beautiful. Although she looked dirty, thin and small, her clothes were tattered and her skin was a little rough, her facial features were very delicate and her two big eyes were very bright.

——Although he looks a bit fierce.

How could such a tiny child be so fierce?
"Thank you."

Lin Guzhi thanked him.

Xia Qing smiled. Lin Guzhi, who said "thank you", was completely different from the scary person he was before. It seemed that they could communicate. This made her feel more relieved.

She asked tentatively: "Excuse me... do you know Dubin?"

Lin Guzhi nodded and said, "Yes, I am Du Bin's college roommate. My name is Lin Guzhi."

"College roommate?"

Xia Qing opened her eyes slightly. This answer surprised her a little: "But you..."

Although the man in front of me was quite handsome, he looked much more mature than the average young man. He didn't look like someone who had just graduated from college a few years ago.

Besides, Dubin has only graduated for three years, right? The daughter this man brought with him must be three years old no matter how you look at it…

Did he have a child before he even graduated from college? !
She really is worthy of being the classmate of Aunt Song’s son!
Lin Guzhi only took a glance to see what Xia Qing was thinking, but he didn't explain much, just said: "Something happened, and I didn't have time to change clothes."

He didn't even have time to buy clothes, just thinking about buying them after he settled in. However, Xia Qing found Xiaoxi's dirty and tattered clothes a bit strange.

After all, this is a modern city in a peaceful country, which is different from the end of the world.

"Oh."

Xia Qing responded, not knowing what to say for a moment. She could hear the man's implication and knew that he didn't want to talk about this topic.

Lin Guzhi said, "My daughter and I don't have a place to live for now, so we asked Dubin to borrow this place to stay for a day or two. We just arrived, and I haven't moved anything here. I saw a photo of you in this room, so you must have lived here before, right? If you need to find something, just come in and look for it, don't worry about us."

"Ah, no..."

Xia Qing waved his hands quickly, but didn't know how to explain for a moment.

She didn't want to take anything, she just wanted to come back and stay for a while.

This house was lent to her by Aunt Song two years ago, and it is also her inspiration cottage.

At that time, she had just graduated from college and was forced by her family to go back and inherit the family business.

But she felt that she was not capable of doing that. She had studied finance for four years in college, but she had not learned anything at all. If she were asked to go back and inherit the family business, she felt that she would definitely mess it up.

The only thing she is good at is music, and it is the only thing she is confident about.

So she hid it from her family, signed a contract with Regent Studios and became a singer.

Her resolute attitude caused strong dissatisfaction in her family, who cut off her pocket money in anger. She had no money to rent a house, but Aunt Song took pity on her and lent her this place to live. Then it was here that she burst into inspiration and wrote one classic song after another, becoming a popular new singer.

She had no idea about becoming famous, she just thought she should do what she was good at. Otherwise, she would not have chosen to join Regent Studio.

You should know that Regent Studio’s resources are all concentrated in film and television, and there are not many music resources.

Even now, Xia Qing is the only accomplished singer in the studio.

The reason she chose to join Regent Studio was simply because she had a close relationship with Best Actress Yang Lijing, knew what kind of person Yang Lijing was, and also knew that the several actors in Regent Studio had not encountered any dirty things, so she felt relatively relieved to sign with Regent.

After becoming a singer, although her family was angry, they also knew that a forced marriage would not be happy. In addition, Xia Qing did make some achievements, so her family compromised a little.

But now she hasn't released any songs for more than a year. If she doesn't release any more songs, her family will probably force her to go back and inherit the family business.

A small studio is a small studio after all, and lacks the ability to withstand pressure. If the family really wants to force it, Sister Yang's Regent Studio will definitely not be able to withstand it.

So she wanted to go back to this inspiration hut, calm down and come up with new works.

"Lululu——"

The little girl on the sofa finished drinking the milk and sucked the milk carton until it was flat, making a "gulp" sound.

Xia Qing's eyes were drawn to the little girl. She found that after the little girl finished her milk, she was still staring at the bread on the table, looking at it very intently, but she never touched the bread.

"Why don't you eat?"

Xia Qing couldn't help but ask.

However, the little girl just glanced at her and continued to stare at the bread, swallowing her saliva greedily, without saying a word.

Xia Qing was a little embarrassed. She sat down carefully on the edge of the sofa, feeling that every move she made seemed to be watched by this little girl.

But the little girl was clearly looking at the bread on the coffee table. How did she manage to stare at herself while looking at the bread? !

Xia Qing felt that he had an inspiration, so he decided to name the new song "Girl, What Are You Looking At?"

After a while, Lin Guzhi came out of a bedroom holding a stained rag. Seeing Xia Qing sitting on the sofa nervously, he stopped packing and asked, "What are you looking for? Do you need my help?"

Xia Qing finally mustered up the courage and said, "Sorry, I'm not here to get anything. I greeted Aunt Song and wanted to stay here for a while... Aunt Song is Doberman's mother. I also stayed here for a while before."

It turned out to be like this...

Lin Guzhi nodded and said, "I thought you were the former owner of this place."

Xia Qing smiled and said, "No."

Lin Guzhi said: "I will stay here for two days and then leave. When Du Bin comes back, he will arrange another place for us."

"Ah, then I'll come back in two days. I'm leaving now. Goodbye."

Xia Qing said hurriedly and went out.

"boom--"

The moment the door closed, Xia Qing stood outside and let out a long breath.

Then she suddenly heard the little girl's voice behind the door: "Xiao Lin, don't we live here anymore?"

Lin Guzhi's voice then rang out: "We'll stay for two days and then leave. This is not our home."

The little girl said calmly: "Xiao Lin is fine. We can live anywhere. We have lived in caves, bridge holes, cars, and houses without roofs..."

Xia Qing was stunned after hearing this. After a long while, she suddenly gritted her teeth and thought to herself: I really deserve to die!
