Chapter 694: Meet the Missing Girl Again
After eating the ice cream, the white snake shrank back into Xiao Xiao's wrist.
Zhuge Yun didn't see it.
He looked at the little white fox's belly, which was as flat as it was at the beginning.
It looked as if he hadn't eaten at all.
But it had only eaten half a bucket of ice cream.
……
After all, although the little white fox is small in size, it is much larger than the white snake. Zhuge Yun subconsciously thinks that the little white fox eats more.
In fact, the two of them, neither willing to admit defeat, were basically evenly matched, finishing nearly half of the ice cream each.
The rest was eaten by Feifei and Taotie.
……
"This appetite."
Zhuge Yun shook his head and sighed, "Tsk tsk."
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He looked out the window, but the next second his eyes couldn't help but freeze.
The man holding a photo and looking anxious and helpless...isn’t he the driver who picked him up twice?
……
"sorry."
The middle-aged man stopped two girls who were traveling together and said, "Excuse me."
"Excuse me, have you seen this child?"
……
One of the girls took the photo, looked at it carefully, and showed it to her companion.
The two shook their heads apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't see it."
"There's none?"
The middle-aged man repeated it disappointedly, then forced himself to smile at the two girls, "Thank you."
"sorry for disturbance."
……
Seeing the man was about to approach the next passerby to ask, Xiao Xiao called out, "Uncle driver."
The familiar title made the middle-aged man turn around subconsciously.
After a moment of surprise, the middle-aged man smiled, "Ah, it's you, classmate."
"Ah."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He just told Zhuge Yun and the others that he got off the car first because he saw someone he knew.
Last time, he saw the sadness between the driver's brows. This time, he saw the driver looking distressed and tired on the street. Xiao Xiao got off the car without thinking too much and followed his heart.
Since he has such a good relationship with the driver, if there is anything he can do to help, he is willing to do his best.
……
Xiao Xiao reached out to the driver for the photo, "Driver, are you looking for someone?"
"Well, my daughter is missing."
The driver's voice was hoarse and his face looked dejected.
It was obvious that he had been searching for quite some time and had asked many passers-by.
……
He handed the photo to Xiao Xiao, "Classmate, have you seen this child?"
He asked the question he had said countless times today.
From full of hope at the beginning to the lingering despair now.
……
Xiao Xiao took the photo and looked down at it.
She was a girl about ten years old.
Wearing a simple white T-shirt and denim overalls, with twin ponytails and a bright smile on her face as she tilts her head towards the camera, she is really a very cute child.
However, Xiao Xiao shook his head at the driver who was looking at him eagerly, "Sorry, I haven't seen it."
"is it?"
It was hard to tell whether the driver's expression was one of disappointment or numbness. Perhaps he had never had any hope in the first place.
His voice was so hoarse that it almost sounded like a sigh.
……
"Uncle driver, have you called the police?"
Xiao Xiao paused and asked in a gentle voice.
"We reported it, and the police told us to wait for news."
"The child's mother was with the police, and I couldn't sit still, so I thought about going out to look for her as well."
"What if I just happen to run into someone who has met this child?"
At this point, the driver smiled bitterly. It turned out that he was just thinking too much.
After a day of searching, he found nothing. He called the child's mother, but the police investigation had also come to a standstill.
……
One day has passed. The child has been missing for one day.
The driver couldn't help but wiped his face several times, his eyes were red.
……
"If it's not presumptuous, could you tell me how the child got lost?"
Xiao Xiao had no way to leave like this, and the driver's current appearance made him feel uneasy.
Now the only issue that can attract the driver's attention is the issue about children.
Sure enough, the driver came back to his senses after hearing his question.
He looked at Xiao Xiao.
"One person's wisdom is short, but two people's wisdom is long."
"Maybe I can find out something from your story."
Xiao Xiao's voice was gentle, neither anxious nor impatient, which made people feel at ease for some reason.
The driver smiled a less stiff smile and said, "Yeah, that's right."
……
"Uncle driver, let's go to the coffee shop next door and sit down."
Although it was a question, Xiao Xiao had already taken the first step.
The driver was stunned and followed half a beat slowly.
Since he agreed to tell the other party, the driver will not go back on his word.
He has always attached great importance to integrity and has taught his daughter to be an honest and good child since she was young.
And my daughter always does well.
Realizing that he was thinking of his daughter again, the driver's lips, which were about to curl, froze instantly, and his nose felt a little sour.
He rubbed his nose hard and blinked his eyes fiercely.
He couldn't collapse before finding his daughter.
His daughter is still waiting for him.
……
Xiao Xiao ordered a cup of coffee for the driver, and then waited quietly for the driver to speak.
……
The driver only realized how exhausted he was after he sat down.
Not just physically, but mentally as well.
The tense mood made him more and more exhausted.
……
There weren't many people in the small coffee shop.
So the coffee Xiao Xiao ordered was served very quickly.
……
The driver picked up the coffee cup and took a big gulp, and the bitter taste burst out in his mouth.
Looking at the driver's wrinkled face, although it was inappropriate, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
……
After the extreme bitterness, a mellow aroma spread out. The driver smacked his lips and took another big gulp.
Although his face was still wrinkled, he felt an inexplicable pleasure.
It seemed as if the bitterness in my heart was temporarily suppressed by the bitterness in my mouth.
It gave him a little breathing space.
……
"...Let me tell you from the beginning."
The driver took another sip of coffee and asked, "Remember what I told you about my daughter?"
"About getting a dog?"
Xiao Xiao suddenly remembered the driver's hesitation to speak last time.
"Correct."
The driver responded heavily, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xiao, "Classmate, you have a good memory."
"I told you before that my daughter wanted a dog."
"We agreed to that, too."
"When we said we wanted to buy our daughter a puppy, she told us she already had a dog."
"If there is, there is. We don't mind."
"We wanted to go with our daughter to pick up the puppy."
"My daughter disagreed because she was afraid that we would scare the dog, so we didn't force her and just waited for her to come back home."
