The child himself was frightened. He looked at the ice cream on the ground and was so scared that he did not dare to say anything.

He was afraid that Josie would ask him to compensate.

The ice cream cost five cents each, and he didn't have a penny in his pocket, so there was no way he could compensate.

"Sister..." The child stretched out his hand to pick it up on the ground.

Qiao Xi grabbed the child and shook her head: "Forget it, you didn't mean it. Just say sorry to your sister and she will forgive you."

The child quickly said: "I'm sorry...sister...I have no money...my mother will beat me..."

And with a heavy cry.

Qiao Xi smiled and rubbed the child's head: "It doesn't matter, let's go play. Remember to run slower on the street."

The child couldn't believe that the sister in front of him actually refused to let him pay. She was really a fairy sister!

After the child ran away, Qiao Xi looked at the ice cream gradually melting on the ground and sighed with some pity.

If I had known better, I wouldn’t have bought it…

If Mother Qiao saw this when she came back, she would probably be heartbroken.

…

This scene was seen by Qin Jiashu not far away.

After Qin Jiashu and his group came out of the clothing store, they also went to the store to have lunch. Qin Jiashu ate quickly, and after finishing a few bites, he left the store and stood on the street.

Only then did I see the scene of Josie being knocked out of the ice cream.

Seeing that Qiao Xi kept staring at the ice cream on the ground and didn't go anywhere else, just standing there in a daze, sad for an ice cream, his expression darkened.

Then, he walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

…

Qiao Xi stood there for a long time and saw that the ice cream had completely turned into a puddle. She planned to change places to wait for Mother Qiao.

By the way, I lied to Mother Qiao that I had finished eating.

"elder sister!"

A clear child's voice sounded.

Qiao Xi turned her head and saw the child who had just hit her running over like a gust of wind.

In his hand, he held an ice cream cone high.

The child ran closer, panting: "Sister, give you ice cream!"

Josie couldn't help but widen her eyes and couldn't believe it: "For me?"

"Yeah! I'll compensate you!" The child put the ice cream into Qiao Xi's hand and ran away like the wind.

Josie was a little confused by this unprovoked incident.

Just now, the child said that his mother would beat him if he didn't have money, so why did he give her an ice cream in the blink of an eye?

Is it possible that the child's mother is also nearby?

Qiao Xi looked towards the child and saw the child running into the alley.

After all, a stick of ice cream was not cheap. Worried that the child would be scolded by her mother, Qiao Xi took the ice cream and walked towards the alley.

The child ran into the alley and stood still: "Brother, I gave the ice cream to my sister."

Qin Jiashu walked out of the shadows and handed over the popsicle in his hand: "Well done, take it and eat it."

The child immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, brother!"

I am so happy today. I met my fairy sister and my generous brother.

Qiao Xi walked into the alley and was stunned when he saw the child happily licking the popsicle and Qin Jiashu behind the child.

What's going on?

Where is the child’s mother?

How could it be Qin Jiashu?

She looked at the ice cream in her hand and then at Qin Jiashu.

Qin Jiashu was also stunned.

He didn't expect that Qiao Xi would come looking for him.

How to explain this?

Said he didn't know the child?

Too unrealistic.

Did he say it was the ice cream he bought for her?

But why buy it?

Many questions surfaced as the two stood facing each other, separated by a child who was happily licking a popsicle.

The popsicles are cool and sweet, and the children lick them happily.

He looked up and around and smiled: "Sister Fairy! Brother Dafang!"

Qin Jiashu's face turned red.

Josie also realized something. She took a step forward and bit her lip: "Did you buy this ice cream for me?"

Qin Jiashu pursed his lips and said nothing.

But the child answered for him: "Brother Dafang bought it!"

Qin Jiashu: "..."

If Qin Jiashu generously bought ice cream for himself, Qiao Xi wouldn't think much about it, but such beating around the bush made Qiao Xi a little confused.

just like……

Qin Jiashu was secretly being nice to her.

But why?

Qiao Xi didn't know how to ask, but Mother Qiao's voice sounded at this moment: "Xixi! Xixi!"

When Qin Jiashu heard this voice, his expression changed instantly. He lowered his voice and muttered: "Don't say I bought it!"

Immediately, he quickly walked away from the other side of the alley.

Qiao Xi watched Qin Jiashu's back walking further and further away, disappearing in just a few seconds, and a little disappointment appeared on his face.

It seems that Qin Jiashu knows very well that Qiao's mother doesn't like him.

That's why the reaction was so big.

Why……

"Xixi! Where are you!" Mother Qiao's searching voice still came.

Qiao Xi didn't think any more and walked out of the alley with the ice cream and walked towards Mother Qiao.

Mother Qiao was relieved when she saw Qiao Xi: "Where have you been for a while?"

Qiao Xi thought of Mother Qiao's attitude towards Qin Jiashu and did not tell the truth: "...it's cool in the alley over there, I'll go stay for a while."

"That's good. There are more bad people in this town than in our village. You have to be careful of being deceived." Mother Qiao rambled.

Qiao Xi hummed, but the figure of Qin Jiashu leaving quickly was still in his mind.

It seems that he doesn't hate her.

Even if he didn't like her, he was still willing to be friends with her, but because of Qiao's mother, he never showed it.

At this moment, she seemed to understand.

Why did he save her so many times, but he was always cold?

Mother Qiao told many tricks of liars, but when she turned around and realized that her daughter was not listening, she immediately raised her voice: "Xixi!"

Qiao Xi came back to her senses and looked at Mother Qiao: "Mom?"

Mother Qiao narrowed her eyes: "What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing." Qiao Xi shook his head, "...this ice cream is quite delicious."

Mother Qiao smiled: "Mom will buy it for you in the future."

Josie: "...Hmm."

…

Qin Jiashu walked through two alleys in one go and met the Wa brothers and sisters head-on.

Wa Changle joked: "You kid, where did you sneak away?"

Qin Jiashu stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
