Chapter 46 Tongyanwuji
Lin Guzhi was not surprised by what Xia Qing said.
Although he had only spent about ten days with Xia Qing, Lin Guzhi was very sure that Xia Qing could do such a thing.
Ten days was enough for Lin Guzhi to be sure of Xia Qing's feelings for Xiaoxi. This woman was not good at disguising her emotions, and she had no intention of hiding her love for Xiaoxi and her deep sympathy for her.
Moreover, at the beginning, Xia Qing ran away from home and eavesdropped on the conversation between Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi outside, and Lin Guzhi knew all about it. When Xia Qing suddenly regretted leaving, Lin Guzhi could probably guess what kind of mood she was in.
Before, this woman was able to send herself here to live with strangers out of sympathy and kindness. Now, because of her irrepressible sympathy and kindness, she is willing to sacrifice herself and get married to someone. It is not impossible.
——Of course, this is mainly because of Xiaoxi.
Without enough love for Xiaoxi, Xia Qing would never be able to do this.
Lin Guzhi sighed and said, "I advise you to calm down. Getting a marriage certificate is not a trivial matter."
Although Lin Guzhi was very happy to see a woman who loved Xiaoxi very much come to help him and successfully register Xiaoxi in his household registration, it did not mean that he wanted to use other people's sympathy to accomplish this task.
However, Xia Qing shook her head firmly and said, "It's not a big deal! It's just a marriage certificate, nothing else. Let's get the marriage certificate first, and then get a divorce certificate after we adopt Xiaoxi!"
This sentence seemed to have exhausted her courage. After she finished speaking, she suddenly let out a breath. She didn't have the courage to look Lin Guzhi in the eye again and lowered her eyes.
However, Lin Guzhi still said, "You should think about it again. Xiaoxi, it's time for lunch break, let's go to bed."
Xiaoxi tilted her head in confusion: "What is lunch break?"
Lin Guzhi said: "It's just taking a nap at noon."
"Oh."
Xiaoxi agreed and followed Lin Guzhi into the bedroom obediently.
"boom--"
Lin Guzhi's bedroom door closed.
Xia Qing became more and more deflated, and collapsed on the sofa, sinking into it. She murmured faintly: "Stinky uncle! I finally mustered up the courage, why did you make me think about it again!"
She was so busy complaining that she didn't notice that her lips were still greasy and cumin-stained with the skewers. If Yang Lijing or her bestie were here, they would probably laugh at her and say she was so funny that she was cute.
……
In the bedroom, Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi were lying on the bed. Xiaoxi lay on her side, blinking her eyes and asked, "Xiaolin, why do we have to take a nap?"
She was very confused about this because she had never taken a lunch break before.
But to be more specific, in another world, sometimes there was no fixed rest time. So it was not impossible to let Xiaoxi take a nap at noon.
But this was the first time Xiaoxi heard Lin Guzhi mention the concept of lunch break.
Lin Guzhi said: "Because taking a nap is good for your health. Look at you now, you look like a bean sprout. You need to take a good nap and eat well, so that you can grow up."
"grow up?"
Xiaoxi's little heart was full of yearning for this word, and her eyes also revealed the yearning.
Lin Guzhi couldn't help but smile as he looked at Xiaoxi. Once upon a time, he was just like Xiaoxi, yearning to grow up. But it wasn't until he grew up that he realized how beautiful it was to be ignorant and carefree.
"Yeah, grow up."
He touched Xiaoxi's thin cheek and said, "She looks as old as Sister Xia Qing."
However, Xiaoxi shook her head unexpectedly: "No!"
Lin Guzhi was confused for a moment, wondering why Xiaoxi would say "no" out of the blue.
Then he heard Xiaoxi say: "Sister Xia Qing is too big and uncomfortable."
Lin Guzhi: “…”
"Boom!"
There was a noise in the living room outside, followed by the sound of "thump thump thump".
"boom--"
The slam of the door was not a small sound even through the living room. Lin Guzhi and Xiaoxi could even feel the vibration. Xiaoxi had already sat up following the sound, staring at the wall, as if her eyes could see through it.
Lin Guzhi smiled and said, "Look, you said that. Sister Xia Qing is angry, right?"
Xiaoxi looked a little worried.
Lin Guzhi advised: "It's okay, go to sleep. Sister Xia Qing won't mind."
Xiaoxi lay down again and closed her eyes obediently.
But after closing her eyes for a while, the little girl couldn't help but open them again, looked at Lin Guzhi and said, "Xiao Lin..."
Lin Guzhi: “Hmm?”
Xiaoxi said: "I want to go see my sister."
Lin Guzhi said: "Sister is busy now, she has to work. Go to sleep quickly, and then go see her after you wake up, okay?"
Xiaoxi had no choice but to say, "Okay."
She closed her eyes, but her eyelashes fluttered, indicating that she was not sleeping peacefully.
Lin Guzhi persuaded her again, "Don't worry, sister won't be angry with you."
After hearing what Lin Guzhi said, Xiaoxi felt relieved. She closed her eyes and nodded, saying, "Yeah."
After a while, Lin Guzhi heard Xiaoxi's breathing became deep and even, and she had fallen asleep.
He lay quietly, watching Xiaoxi fall asleep peacefully. It felt like in the past ten days, this girl had slowly adapted to this world.
At least when it comes to sleeping, I have gradually adapted to this world and I no longer sleep so lightly, and I won’t wake up suddenly at the slightest disturbance. This is good.
This is what the children of this world should be like...
……
In Xia Qing's bedroom, Xia Qing's face was flushed.
"This little girl, why does she say everything? It makes me so angry!"
She whispered a little manically, but the words "I'm so mad" didn't seem to be entirely directed at Xiaoxi.
She lay in bed, her mind unconsciously wandering. So she took out her cell phone and flipped through it randomly. As she was flipping through it, she unconsciously turned to how to get a marriage certificate.
Then turn it over again, look at it again, look at it again, and turn it over again...
She sat up from the bed, hesitated for a while, and took out her hat, mask and sunglasses.
……
In Lin Guzhi's bedroom, Lin Guzhi remained quiet, lying motionless on the bed. He did not sleep, but was thinking about what to do next.
Jinye Building asked me to wait for a few days. The job there might or might not work out, but I would have some free time. I could use this time to get Xiaoxi settled in the welfare home.
I was so busy talking about other things at noon that I forgot to tell Dubin about this. I have to make a phone call when Xiaoxi wakes up.
"Click——"
He suddenly heard a door open, his ears perked up, and then he heard footsteps.
Xia Qing came out of the bedroom again and walked towards the door.
"Click——"
"boom--"
The sound of doors opening and closing.
This homebody has been here for more than ten days, and now she goes out?
What is she going to do?
