Yu Cheng, who was already seated on the sofa, heard the sound of high heels. He slowly lifted his head and as soon as he saw the figure walking towards him, his breath caught in his throat. His heart...When An Xiaotu returned home, her life went back to the way it was before.
Every day she got up early from her bed just to stand by the window and catch a glimpse of Cheng Gege, her family's encounter in the city; Tang Yu Cheng would bring some food for Naidanzi every few days, such as fruit candy, pudding, small cakes, biscuits, etc.
Anxiaotu always politely asks her mommy or daddy to accompany her downstairs.
Five One holiday.
Tang Yucheng returned to the Tang family estate in Beisi City, and then ransacked his younger brother Tang Moqing's imported snacks.
When Tang Moqing returned home after playing with his friends at night, he wanted to snack on something to fill his stomach. However, when he saw the empty drawer, he was dumbfounded. He asked all the maids in the house, but none of them knew where his snacks had gone.
Finally, Tang Yuceng lightly said, "I took it."
Tang Moqing thought to himself that his second brother didn't like snacks. He also heard from the housekeeper that his second brother was in love and had a girlfriend. Those snacks must be taken back to City A for his future sister-in-law.
He was suddenly speechless, too afraid to speak or get angry.
Tang YuCheng brought back a pile of snacks he had scavenged from his younger brother to City A, and didn't give all the snacks directly to An Xiaotu.
Instead, I bring along one or two packs of snacks every day. When passing by the milk dumpling's home, I feed them to it.
Toward his daily feeding of Xiao Tu, Xiang Xin Yue felt a little embarrassed. Since her daughter's snacks were taken care of, she often invited Tang Yu Cheng to have dinner at home.
She's a fashion designer, sometimes making clothes for her daughter and also designing outfits for Tang Yu Cheng. She uses high-quality fabrics and her designs are trendy, totally comparable to top brands.
One comes and goes, many people in the community know that An Xiaotu has a "boyfriend". Every time they see An Xiaotu, they will tease her with one or two sentences.
This morning, it was raining heavily outside.
An Xiaotu, as always, stood by the window with a small stool, her small hand propping her chin, gazing at a black sedan parked on the roadside.
After a while, a more luxurious and imposing black sedan pulled up to the curb. The driver hurried out, holding an umbrella, to greet the young man getting out of the car.
The young boy took another umbrella from the driver's hand, opened it, and headed toward Anjia residential area.
Met An Shao Hua and Nai Tuanzi at the foot of the stairs on the first floor, "Good morning, Uncle An, Rabbit, here you go."
“Good morning, Yu Cheng.” An Xiaotu exchanged the snacks her mommy made with him, “Thank you, Yu Cheng.”
"From now on, we won't need to run out specially when it rains. There will be rainwater everywhere, soaking our shoes," An Shaohua said.
At first, he was resistant to the idea of the young man taking care of his daughter, thinking the young man was trying to steal her away. But over time, even his hardened heart softened.
Even thought childhood sweethearts... well, it doesn't seem impossible either.
"It's fine." Tang Yu Cheng finished the little guy's snack and casually pinched her chubby cheeks, "I'm going to school now."
"See you later, Chengge!"
"Goodbye."
The boy turned and, holding his umbrella, gradually disappeared into the rain.
An ShaoHua was walking his daughter home.
An Xiaotu took the snacks back to her room, put them in her small schoolbag, and then stood by the window. All she saw was the receding figure of the car where the young man had been sitting.
However, another black sedan remained parked on the side of the road.
It seemed that the man in the car immediately rolled up the window after seeing An Xiaotu appear at the window, but he didn't drive away.
Another few minutes passed.
Xiangxin Yue walked in and called to her daughter, "Tutu, what are you looking at Didn't Cheng Gege go to school"
"Look, Uncle," Little Rabbit An answered, then turned her face and called out, "Mommy."
Meanwhile, the man sitting in the black car outside seemed to sense something and immediately started the car and drove away.
"What uncle"
Xiangxin walked toward the moon, looking outward. There wasn't even a single figure in sight.
An Xiaotu turned around and found that the black car was gone. She said, "Uncle was sitting in the car and then he left."
As if she had suddenly thought of something, Xiang Xin Yue tensed up immediately, lifting her daughter from the small stool and crouching down to look at the little one face-to-face.
"Bunny, tell mommy, what uncle did you see What did that uncle look like"
An Xiaotu furrowed her brow and tried hard to recall.
"He was just an uncle, sitting in a black car. Then Rabbit waited for Cheng Gege, and saw the uncle. When Rabbit went to school with his dad, the uncle disappeared. It's so strange," she replied, tilting her little head.
Xīngzhōnyuē was scared out of her wits by her daughter's words.
"Rabbit, since what day did you start seeing that uncle Have you only seen him today Did you see him yesterday What about before"
"Mommy, you're hurting Bunny," the little dumpling said with a pained frown.
Coming to her senses, she realized she was clutching her daughter's tiny arm. Xiang Yue hurriedly let go.
"I'm sorry, Bunny. Mommy didn't mean to." Xiang Xin Yue couldn't hide her panic and unease, forcing herself to control and patiently ask, "Bunny, be good, tell Mommy, did you see that uncle yesterday The day before yesterday"
An Xiaotu nodded without hesitation, "Yes."
"Now, Little Rabbit, try to think harder. When did you see it"
"Hmm..." An Xiaotu frowned, trying hard to remember, while counting on her fingers, "Yesterday, and the day before yesterday... Oh my, it's been so long, Bunny can't remember. When Chengge came to our house for dinner, I saw Uncle then."
Xinyue calculated in her heart: today was Thursday, and Tang Yucheng had come to their house for dinner last Sunday. Then, the man Rabbit spoke of had been appearing near their home for at least a week.
Xueyue closed her eyes tightly, suppressing the pain and panic. "Rabbit," she whispered, "Why didn't you tell Mommy before"
"Mommy, is that uncle bad"
The little dumpling had never seen her mommy like this before, and she couldn't help but feel scared too.
"Don't be afraid, bunny. Mommy and Daddy will protect you." Xiang Xin Yue tightly hugged her daughter in her arms, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Could it be him
Has that person found them
"Mommy, Bunny is not afraid of the boogeyman. Don't worry, Bunny and Yu Cheng will protect Mommy," said An Xiaotu, comforting her mother.
"Bunny, from now on you can't run around randomly. Also, you mustn't talk to strangers, not a single word, okay"
"Mommy, I know that ~ Bunny won't run around randomly, and bunny won't lie."
Since Xiangyue and Anson had suddenly disappeared for two or three days before, An Xiaotu had become particularly well-behaved and obedient ever since. She would always ask her parents to accompany her whenever she went out.
An Shao-hua waited in the living room for a while, but his wife and daughter still hadn't come out to brush their teeth and wash their faces. He stood up and walked towards his daughter's room.
Seeing his wife's complexion was off, An Shao Hua asked, "Wife, what's wrong"
"Just now, the little bunny told me she saw a man sitting in a black car," Xiangxin Yue still held her daughter in her arms, her face pale. "According to what the little bunny said, that man has been appearing near our house for at least a week."still be sulking, so I said some comforting words and then got busy.”Later, I heard the maid report that a rope was hanging from the window of the young master's room. I immediately went to check and...
