Xuanhao really looks like an 'ordinary' enthusiastic citizen now...
But, it's pretty good. The corners of the girl's mouth raised slightly, and she quickened her pace and approached the two figures, one large and one small, on the street.
Xuan Hao held the little girl's hand, feeling a little embarrassed. Of course, he also noticed the strange looks from passers-by. It seemed that he was really being regarded as a human trafficker? Wouldn't some enthusiastic citizens come up and beat him to death?
At this moment, he felt someone approaching quickly from behind and turned around suddenly.
"Xia Mi?"
"Shut up."
"..."
Xuan Hao scratched his head and shut his mouth honestly.
"Big brother?" The little girl looked at this big brother in confusion. She finally believed that this big brother was going to take her home. Why did he suddenly stop leaving?
Then, she saw a beautiful elder sister squatting down and touching her head gently.
Xuan Hao secretly thought that something was wrong. He had cheated on Xia Mi again and was caught on the spot. The younger brother's position in the family was finally confirmed.
"What, I thought it was a human trafficker." The passerby put the phone back into his pocket with a bored expression.
"Wake up, a young couple is having a quarrel. The father is taking his daughter to find the mother." The person next to him joked.
"How could this young couple with their good looks be enough to make a living, be human traffickers?" Some people said with disdain.
Midsummer evening.
A pair of young men and women, the man is handsome, the woman is charming, they are walking on the street holding a little girl, the man lowers his head and is submissive, the woman is unforgiving and keeps scolding, but there is a fascinating smile on the corner of her mouth.
The smiles are like a family of three.
It's just that these three people seemed to be looking for something on the street.
"Hmm... I remember it seems like... going to the right?"
The little girl ate the ice cream in her hand, thinking about the route home, and pointed to the right.
"good."
"good."
Two voices spoke in unison.
The two of them continued to walk, holding the little girl one on the left and the other on the right.
After turning the corner, they walked forward slowly, matching the girl's small steps.
I don't know how much time passed before an anxious loud call came from afar.
Finally found……
The two looked at each other and led the little girl towards the shouting woman.
As the three of them walked in, the calling voice became clearer and clearer. It was a hoarse, hoarse voice...
"Xiaoya...Xiaoya..."
"Mom! It's mom!" The little girl let go of Xuan Hao's hand, pointed into the distance and shouted happily towards Xia Mi.
"..."
Xuan Hao looked at his released hand speechlessly, "That's it?"
"That's it." Xia Mi covered his mouth with a smile and a look of victory in his eyes.
After hearing the little girl's cry, not long after, a middle-aged woman followed the sound and appeared in the sight of several people.
"Xiaoya!" The woman rushed over excitedly and hugged the little girl in her arms.
"Xiaoya?" Xuanhao was stunned as he heard the girl's name.
"What's wrong?" Xia Mi looked at him suddenly in a daze and asked worriedly.
"Um...nothing?" Xuan Hao smiled, "I just feel that fate is so wonderful."
"Mom... I'm so scared! Wow, wow, wow..." Curling up in her mother's arms, the little girl finally burst into tears. She had been holding back from crying loudly before, because the only place where she could cry was in the arms of her parents.
"It's all my fault, my mother's carelessness..." The woman shed tears and hugged her daughter tightly, as if she was afraid that her daughter would disappear from her arms. This feeling of surviving a disaster is probably only she can understand.
She raised her head, held the little girl's hand, and bowed to the two people in front of her, "I'm so grateful! How can I repay..."
"No need." Xuan Hao did not accept her apology, but looked at the woman angrily, staring into her eyes with a serious look, "Although I shouldn't say these words, can I say a few words?
?”
"Ah? Of course..." The woman was stunned, as if realizing something, she lowered her head.
"No matter how busy you are, please take good care of your children. You are very lucky." Xuan Hao's eyes were a little cold, "Don't wait until an accident occurs before you regret it."
"yes……"
The woman was a little nervous and did not dare to look into his eyes. There was an unspeakable sense of oppression on this young man, but the sense of oppression disappeared in the next second.
Xuan Hao knelt down and gently touched the little girl's head. This time the little girl didn't call him a bad guy.
"Listen carefully to mom from now on, do you understand?" He said with a smile.
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded, "Thank you, big brother! Big sister!"
"Okay... take your children back. I wish you happiness and health in your life." Xuan Hao stood up, smiled and waved to the woman.
"yes……"
The woman turned around blankly, led the little girl away, and never looked back.
"What is this? A blessing?" Xia Mi looked at the man in front of him curiously, "What did you just do?"
"It's just a little bit of hypnosis." Xuan Hao shrugged.
"Hypnotism cannot make people happy and healthy throughout their lives."
"But I will."
There was a faint golden color in Xuanhao's eyes, which looked particularly charming in the evening sun.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you won't even let the little girl go, right?" Xia Mi looked like a scumbag.
"Don't worry, I will also make you happy."
He grabbed Xia Mi's hand suddenly, and Xia Mi, who was unprepared, had no time to escape.
"Stop being jealous, the air has become sour."
"snort!"
She shook her hand and found that the other person was holding on tightly and couldn't shake her off. She had no choice but to let him go. Of course she knew that no matter how rogue this guy was, he would never attack a little girl. Such a life would be too decisive.
She saw a hint of nostalgia in Xuan Hao's eyes just now, but she didn't intend to ask. Everyone has a past, just like Xuan Hao never asked about her past.
The two of them walked on the road, holding hands and swaying back and forth from dusk until nightfall.
Finally, they returned to the place where they had stayed together.
"You won't go to work tomorrow?"
Xia Mi asked doubtfully.
"I'm asking for leave." Xuan Hao said matter-of-factly, "I'll stay with you."
Pushing open the door of the old courtyard and looking at the towering old tree, Xuanhao took a deep breath and said, "I'll cook tonight, what do you want to eat?"
"Fish-flavored shredded pork, Mapo tofu, Kung Pao chicken, steamed sea bass..."
Xia Mi read out a recipe in an instant as if he was chanting a sutra, and there were so many different recipes from all over the world.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Xuan Hao quickly stopped, "I won't be able to finish this even tomorrow morning."
"Then let me do it with you?"
Xia Mi winked playfully.
"..."
The leaves of late summer begin to fall, and autumn is about to begin. The last chirping of the cicadas chirps in harmony with the birds on the branches.
The fallen leaves of this ancient tree will be scattered all over the courtyard again.
The curling smoke rises along with the aroma of vegetables, gradually taking away this midsummer.
I wish I could stay in summer, with the birds and cicadas with you.
