Chapter 43 Watching Goldfish

Xia Qing looked at Lin Guzhi without blinking, and felt that Lin Guzhi exuded a very powerful aura at this moment, so there was no doubt about what he said.

Many movie scenes suddenly flashed through her mind. In just a moment, she had transformed this stinky uncle into one of those retired special forces dads in the movies who were able to do anything to rescue their daughters.

If something like this really happened, I'm sure the stinky uncle would be able to do it...

……

What are you thinking about?!
Where in the country could something like this happen?!

"Anyway, you don't have to worry about it. As long as Xiaoxi can get a permanent residence, I can handle the rest."

Lin Guzhi said one more sentence.

Xia Qing nodded and said, "Well, that makes me feel relieved." After hearing what Lin Guzhi said, she was completely relieved.

Someone else takes care of the problems, so I don’t have to think or worry about anything. It feels so good!
She thought to herself with a relaxed mood, but she didn't realize that this matter actually had nothing to do with her and she didn't need to worry about it.

"Then I'll go play with Xiaoxi."

She got up from the sofa and talked to Lin Guzhi.

Lin Guzhi nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Xia Qing happily went to Lin Guzhi's bedroom to watch the goldfish with Xiaoxi, while Lin Guzhi went outside and called Doberman.

"What's wrong, Lao Lin?"

Dubin asked when he got on the phone.

Lin Guzhi said bluntly: "When are you free? Let's meet and talk about something."

Du Bin seemed to have thought of what Lin Guzhi was going to say, and said, "Okay, I've just finished my work, so I'll go over there later. I see there's a barbecue restaurant downstairs, can we talk while we eat?"

Lin Guzhi said: "Call me when you come, and I'll take Xiaoxi down."

"it is good."

Dubin agreed and hung up the phone.

……

In the bedroom, Xia Qing sat cross-legged on the floor, studying the fish in the fish tank with Xiaoxi.

Her legs were long and toned, and when she rolled them up, her pants stuck to her, outlining her curvy legs. Xiaoxi, who was standing next to her, was still skinny and looked malnourished, which was a sharp contrast to her.

"Look at this, little Xi, how clever."

“This one is also delicious.”

"Don't feed the goldfish any more fish food, Xiaoxi. It will die of overeating if you feed it any more."

She and Xiaoxi were talking while looking at the goldfish. Basically, she was the one talking and Xiaoxi was listening.

However, Xiaoxi was looking at the goldfish in the fish tank seriously, with a smile on her face, and she made a "hmm" sound from time to time in response to Xia Qing's words.

Such a reaction was enough to satisfy Xia Qing.

Xiaoxi, this girl, would never react like this to any stranger.

She often observed Xiaoxi, and when she saw Xiaoxi quietly appreciating the goldfish, she thought she was so well behaved. There was no other child in the world who was so well behaved. She was not so well behaved even when she was a child.

Why should such a good child have to live such a hard life?

Dad is gone, and mom should be gone too... In the end, the only place they can settle down is in the collective household of the welfare home.

When Xiaoxi goes to kindergarten and elementary school in the future, will he feel inferior because of these things when there are parent-teacher meetings in the class?

Xia Qing was lost in thoughts and thoughts unconsciously.

Xiaoxi seemed to notice that Sister Xia Qing was distracted, but she did not disturb Xia Qing. Instead, she just looked at the goldfish quietly.

The goldfish had eaten all the food in the fish tank. Xiaoxi was very obedient and did not sprinkle more food in. As a result, the little goldfish no longer swam as vigorously as before.

But it doesn’t matter. For Xiaoxi, as long as the goldfish in the fish tank are alive, whether they are still or moving, they are very interesting and worth watching carefully.

——Because this is a gift from a kind stranger grandfather. It is hers and she doesn't need to worry about it being stolen or damaged.

After a long while, Xia Qing came back to his senses. Suddenly, an impulse surged in his heart, and he called out, "Xiao Xi."

Xiaoxi turned around and looked at her.

But she couldn't help swallowing the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Xiaoxi looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words. The patience of such a small child was somewhat surprising. After being stared at by Xiaoxi for a long time, Xia Qing finally asked, "Do you... want your mother?"

Xiaoxi shook her head and said, "I don't have a mother."

"what……"

Xia Qing let out an "ah" and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Xiaoxi said: "Dad said mom died a long time ago. But it doesn't matter, I still have dad, Xiaolin, and everyone."

At this point, she looked a little depressed, "Dad, everyone is dead. But it doesn't matter, Xiaolin said... there is still Xiaolin."

Xia Qing felt her nose getting a little sour. She reached out and held Xiaoxi in her arms. However, Xiaoxi seemed uncomfortable and twisted around in her arms.

Xia Qing let go of Xiao Xi with a sense of grievance and asked, "Why, don't you like your sister hugging you?"

Xiaoxi shook her head, looked at Xia Qing's chest, and said honestly, "It's too crowded here."

Xia Qing: "..."

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door.

Xia Qing got up and opened the door, and saw Lin Guzhi standing at the door. She didn't know if Xiaoxi's words were heard by this stinky uncle. If they were heard, it would be really embarrassing.

But when I think about it, my voice shouldn’t be as loud as Doberman’s, right?
Well, yes, probably not!

"How about it, did you have fun?"

Lin Guzhi asked with a smile.

Xia Qing forced herself to shake off the embarrassment and said with a smile: "Of course! We had a lot of fun watching the goldfish!"

Lin Guzhi said: "Then you can take your time to look at it. I have to go out for a while."

When Xiaoxi heard that Lin Guzhi was going out, she immediately ran to Lin Guzhi and took his hand. The meaning was self-evident, she wanted to follow Lin Guzhi.

Xia Qing was not surprised, because she knew that this little girl couldn't leave her Xiao Lin.

She asked casually, "What are you doing out here at this hour?"

Lin Guzhi replied: "I'll call Du Bin over and explain this matter to him, so that he won't come to you again."

Xia Qing said: "There's no need to talk about this anymore..."

Lin Guzhi said, "It's better to make it clear. If you don't, I'm afraid Dubin will come looking for you again. Your moral standards are too high. It's hard to guarantee that Dubin won't take advantage of you again."

"hey-hey."

Xia Qing thought that Lin Guzhi was praising her.

“Do you eat kebabs?”

Lin Guzhi asked again before leaving.

"Yeah! Eat! Of course!"

Xia Qing felt like she was about to swallow her saliva.

Lin Guzhi nodded: "Then don't cook dinner, let's eat outside and bring you some skewers later."

"Thank you!"

Xia Qing said sincerely.

"Why are you being so polite?"

Lin Guzhi said this and took Xiaoxi out, leaving Xia Qing alone at home.

The room suddenly became quiet again, with Xia Qing being the only one left.

Xia Qing closed the door of Lin Guzhi's bedroom and sat back on the sofa in the living room. The sunlight pouring in from the window was stronger, not as lazy and drowsy as it was at noon, but a little scorching.

But Xia Qing sat in the sun and seemed unaware of anything.

The sunlight cut across her body at an angle, and her upper half was still in darkness.

She kept her eyes hidden in the darkness, staring at the scorching sun, and continued to be in a daze.
