The wind blows in the trees outside, making the night seem even quieter.
Zhang Tan lowered his head and looked at Xiaobai. Xiaobai's eyes were sparkling. Although it was night, there was obviously light in his eyes.
She raised her head and looked at Zhang Tan, not dodging like before.
Her eyes were complicated, as if they were hopeful, as if they were afraid, and had an indescribable feeling.
Zhang Tan thought of the scene when he was on vacation in the snowy countryside. It was the first time he and Xiaobai met each other. They lived in an igloo, lay on the bed and looked at the stars in the sky, and talked a lot about what was in their hearts.
That night, he told Xiaobai that he was her old man.
But Xiaobai has never called him old man, nor father.
Are you my old man? This is the first time Xiaobai has said the word "old man" to him.
These two light words are unbearably heavy to bear on a child.
Zhang Tan knew that Xiaobai could not accept it all of a sudden and felt uncomfortable. A stranger had turned into an old man overnight.
At that time, Xiaobai took advantage of him to fall asleep and beat him secretly. He knew at that time that she must have a lot of grievances in her heart.
At this moment, Zhang Tan met Xiaobai's gaze and said firmly: "I am, I am your old man."
Xiaobai's eyelashes were very long and fluttered, like a butterfly flapping its wings. Her eyes are the windows to the soul. She must be very uneasy in her heart.
She lowered her head slightly and looked at the floor illuminated by the moonlight. She quickly raised her head again and asked, "Then you just ignore me and my mother?"
She is like a little adult, not a 6-year-old child, she knows too much.
She pursed her lips and looked firm, completely different from her mother's weak character.
Zhang Tan would rather face thousands of troops than face Xiaobai who asked this question.
He admitted that he panicked and was overwhelmed.
His heart seemed to be held by a big hand, which made his whole body hurt, sad and distressed.
But he knew he couldn't avoid it at this time, Xiaobai opened his heart and talked to him.
If he avoids him now, Xiaobai may never accept him again for the rest of his life.
His voice was hoarse and dry, and he said: "I'm sorry, Xiaobai, I didn't know you existed in this world at that time."
Xiaobai looked directly at his face, said oh at first, and then asked: "Don't you like me?"
Zhang Tan loosened his crossed legs to make his sitting posture more comfortable, then looked at Xiaobai and said: "To tell you the truth, I like you. I still remember the first time we met.
The summer two years ago was the first day after the summer vacation. I came back from a far away place and came to Little Red Horse for the first time. I saw Xiaomi being taken away by the police. It was you who bravely rushed out and said loudly.
To protect Xiaomi, no one is allowed to take her away, not even the police uncle. I thought at that time, ah, whose child is this? How can he be so brave? Even the police uncle’s child dared to rob her. I remember at that time
The other children didn't dare to speak, but you not only spoke for Xiaomi, but also chased the little red horse out to grab Xiaomi."
Xiaobai pouted her lips imperceptibly, she was very proud when she talked about this.
"Xiaomi was so rich and pitiful at that time."
She remembered Xiaomi at that time, who was small and thin. Her mother sent her to Little Red Horse. She didn't show up again for several days until the police uncle came and said that her mother was missing and wanted to take her away.
.
At that time, Xi'er, Liuliu, Dudu, and Cheng Cheng were not here yet at Little Red Horse Academy. Xiaobai and Xiaomi were good friends. During the days when Xiaomi's mother disappeared, Xiaobai stayed with her to comfort her.
Millet.
Zhang Tan thought to himself, you yourself were small, thin, and dark at that time, weren't you also a pitiful little person?!
Zhang Tan said: "I remembered you at that time. I thought this kid was really brave and caring. Later I discovered that you were very helpful, very strong, and caring for children. You were willing to help anyone who had difficulties...
"
Listening to Zhang Tan talking so much about himself, Xiaobai felt a little happy and secretly moved his toes.
"I thought at that time that my future daughter must be like Xiaobai, optimistic, strong, brave and caring."
Xiaobai smiled sheepishly and said that she was so fierce at that time.
Zhang Tan said: "Being fierce doesn't mean you are bad. Being fierce is what you show to others. But we all know that you are a very caring child. You often help everyone. You see, no one hates you because you are fierce.
, ignore you, on the contrary, everyone likes you very much, because everyone knows that Xiaobai is a good child, she is cruel to bad people but good to her own people."
Xiaobai said: "I'm not a bad boy, I'm a good boy, and I can't let bad people bully me."
She clenched her little fists, and Zhang Tan recalled the scene of her fight with Luo Zikang. She knew she couldn't win but still had to fight. If her body size and strength were not the upper hand, then she would try her best to protect herself and her good with courage and scars.
friend.
So every time she finished a fight, she looked miserable, but she was high-spirited and full of momentum, because she scared off people who were stronger than her, so that they didn't dare to bully her easily!
Zhang Tan felt sad and wanted to ask if many people had bullied you.
But he didn't dare to ask. He was afraid that Xiaobai would say yes and he would be unable to do anything.
He could only comfort Xiaobai: "It's okay. I will always be there from now on. If anyone bullies you, I will beat him to a pulp. You don't have to be so aggressive anymore."
Xiaobai: "Auntie said we shouldn't be afraid of bad people, she will beat them up."
Zhang Tan nodded: "My aunt is also a good person."
Xiaobai: "Auntie said my old man is a good man."
Zhang Tan was surprised. Xiaobai said that her aunt told her that her old man was a good man and he would come to her sooner or later.
Zhang Tan couldn't help but be extremely grateful to Malanhua who was far away in Qicheng. Under those circumstances, she was able to protect Xiaobai's innocence and beauty, instead of instilling "Your father doesn't want you anymore" or "Your father abandoned you."
You and your mother".
In fact, even if she said this, she was not wrong, because "Zhang Tan" at that time was such a playboy.
Suddenly Xiaobai's face turned serious and he asked seriously: "Then why don't you find your mother? Don't you want her anymore?"
She still remembered some things when she was younger. She lived with her mother in a simple rental house. It was difficult to see the sun and her mother often cried.
Zhang Tan didn't know how to answer. He just felt that his predecessor had dug a big hole for him, and it was difficult to start.
He considered it carefully and carefully explained it to Xiaobai. Xiaobai asked him to come over a little, then hit him on the head and said fiercely that this was for his mother!
Zhang Tan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, slapped himself twice and said, "This is for your mother too."
Xiaobai was stunned and looked up out of the window. The moon had moved to the window, as if it was hanging there, within reach of his hand.
Xiaobai sighed sadly and said, "If mom were here, I would be more nagging, one, two, or three."
Zhang Tan understood. She meant that the family of three was reunited.
"I will take good care of you and never let you suffer again. I will make you hiahiahia every day~"
"...I'm not hiahiahia, that's Xiwawa, I'm hahahaha, hum~"
"Okay, Tiantian hahaha."
…
The two gradually came together, talking softly with their hearts open. Xiaobai's mood gradually improved, and the moonlight reflected their figures on the floor.
The moonlight was like water, gentle and clear, spreading to the bedside. The bed was still dark at night. Xiao Xier turned over on the bed, and the small blanket covering her body slipped. She huddled into a small ball, like a bird.
The little beast, who was extremely insecure, muttered something and held a stuffed doll tightly in his arms, so hard...
