At the same time, when she heard her daughter's heartbroken cries, Lin Ruoxi's heart tightened and she felt like she was suffocating. She hurriedly went forward to hug Lanlan and patted her daughter's back to comfort her.
"Lanlan, Lanlan, don't cry. Baby, don't cry. You won't be pretty if you cry …"
But Lanlan had no intention of stopping crying at all. She hugged Lin Ruoxi's neck, her little face pressed tightly against it as tears streamed down her face.
Lin Ruoxi was anxious, and she didn't know where to start. Why was this Xiaoya hiding from Lanlan? Why did it feel like things were getting worse?
Xiaoya's parents were also full of guilt, but this daughter refused to say anything, and they didn't know what to do.
Teacher Hou came forward and said with a bitter smile, "Madam Lin, there are some things that you two might not like to hear, but Lanlan didn't come to school today. It's very likely because … the children aren't willing to play with her anymore …"
"What do you mean, why …" Lin Ruoxi was stunned.
Teacher Hou sighed and said, "Actually, it's not hard to understand. Although Lanlan fought with Wang Qiang to help Xiaoya yesterday, Wang Qiang found so many boys to fight with Lanlan, but they were all beaten down by Lanlan alone.
The other boys were still fine, falling to the ground. But when Wang Qiang's hair was pulled out by Lanlan, his entire scalp was covered in blood …
Think about it, such a young girl can be so strong, knocking all the boys over, and even directly pulled out Wang Qiang's hair, even scratching his scalp …
It was bloody on the spot, how could the children not be afraid? "
Lin Ruoxi stood there in a daze, then looked at Lanlan who was crying non-stop in her arms, feeling like her heart was about to break.
Even as an adult, she could imagine how sad Lanlan was at that moment.
She was clearly trying to help her good friend. She was clearly the one who was bullied, yet she stood up to settle the matter and protect her good friend …
As a result, the other children began to be afraid of him and avoided him from playing with him. Even the friends he was protecting ignored him …
For Lanlan, who had always yearned to play with the children, it was not easy for her to integrate into this circle, but she was regarded as an outsider by the other children.
The more you care about someone, the easier it is to hurt them.
Without a doubt, this was a huge blow.
In the past, the optimistic Lanlan might have held onto hope that everyone was afraid of being bullied by Wang Qiang, so they didn't dare to play with her.
However, now that Wang Qiang's matter had been settled, Xiao Ya still refused to look at him or talk to him …
No wonder Lanlan cried so sadly.
Lin Ruoxi didn't have many friends since she was young, but that was also because of her cold personality. Occasionally, she would feel lonely and sad.
At this moment, he could feel the feeling of isolation in Lanlan's heart. For such a young girl, it was like a knife cutting into her heart.
With no other choice, Lin Ruoxi could only look at Yang Cheng for help, "Hubby, what should we do? Lanlan is so sad …"
However, Yang Cheng seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts, and did not come back to his senses for a moment.
After Lin Ruoxi shouted a few times, Yang Cheng finally woke up from his stupor.
Looking at the crying Lanlan, and then looking at the timid Xiao Ya, Yang Cheng said expressionlessly, "Let her cry. A child who knows how to cry is better than a child who doesn't know how to cry."
"What? You don't even know how to comfort a child?" Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him. After thinking about it, she could only say to Lanlan, "Darling, Mommy will take you to eat, okay? What does Lanlan want to eat today? Mommy will buy everything for Lanlan to eat. "
Hearing that it was time to eat, Lanlan's crying actually decreased a lot. She sobbed and pouted, "Meat, meat …"
"Meat? What meat? "
"Beef …"
At the mention of food, Lanlan finally stopped crying.
While Lin Ruoxi heaved a sigh of relief, she also felt a little helpless towards this little foodie.
After bidding farewell to Teacher Hou and the rest, Xiao Ya's family also left. Yang Cheng's family of three went to the nearby western restaurant to eat steak.
Although Lanlan still did not smile, she finally stopped crying. However, the little girl's sad eyes still made it hard for people to Anxin.
When they arrived at the western restaurant, they directly booked a secluded table. Lin Ruoxi conveniently bought all the surrounding tables so that Lanlan could have a good environment to eat to her heart's content.
The waiters in the restaurant knew that this was a "money-burning" customer, so they naturally did not dare to say a word. They did not even dare to say a word when Lin Ruoxi directly ordered 20 steaks.
Lanlan sat on an elevated chair with a napkin wrapped around her. Both her hands were holding forks, and she used each hand to pick up a piece of steak. She opened her mouth left and right and chewed with "ah wu wu" sounds. Her efficiency was so high that it completely made the waiters who were watching from afar stare at her.
Usually, seeing her daughter eat with such gusto, Lin Ruoxi would only be filled with bliss. But today, as Lanlan ate, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, making Lin Ruoxi find it hard to swallow.
Yang Cheng's expression, on the other hand, was normal. After eating five steaks, he did not eat anymore. His gaze was gentle as he looked at Lanlan, as if something was flowing through his eyes.
After the meal, Lin Ruoxi patted Lanlan's little head and asked, "Is Lanlan full?"
"Yes," Lanlan rubbed her round little belly and could not help but ask, "Mummy, why are the children afraid of Lanlan … Do they not like Lanlan …?"
Looking at the child's clear and innocent eyes, Lin Ruoxi's nose turned sour. She forced herself not to cry and shook her head, saying, "How can that be? Lanlan is so cute, and she even protects Xiao Ya. She is a good child."
"But … Xiao Ya also doesn't play with Lanlan anymore …" Lanlan lowered her head dejectedly.
Lin Ruoxi turned her head away and could not say a word. She frantically wiped the corners of her eyes.
At first, she was already worried that Lanlan's physique was too special and that she would not be able to get along well with other children. She did not expect things to end up like this.
At this moment, Yang Cheng stood up and carried Lanlan up from the chair. He turned around and said to Lin Ruoxi, "Pay up, I will wait for you outside."
After saying that, Yang Cheng carried Lanlan out of the western restaurant.
At seven or eight o 'clock at night, it was the time when the city was brightly lit with neon lights and red lights.
The weather in the middle of November was rather cold. Many passers-by wore warm jackets and hurried along the streets.
Yang Cheng carried Lanlan to a resting area on the pedestrian street and sat side by side with Lanlan on a long metal bench.
Behind them was a large flower bed, and on both sides were passers-by. There were all sorts of colorful words flashing on the shop fronts.
In the bustling city, no one would notice this pair of adults and children in the dark.
Lin Ruoxi walked behind. When she saw the two of them sitting down, she sat on another bench nearby. She just thought that Yang Cheng wanted to take Lanlan for a walk, so she did not ask why.
Lanlan opened her eyes wide and looked at the people walking around. In the little girl's eyes, there was a lot of novelty in the world.
In such a short moment, the girl temporarily forgot about her sadness.
Just like that, the three of them were quiet for a while. Then, Yang Cheng suddenly stretched and raised his head to let out a long breath.
Turning his head to look at the little girl beside him, Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "Lanlan, do you want to hear a story from the bad uncle?"
Lanlan and Lin Ruoxi both looked at Yang Cheng. Lin Ruoxi was a little puzzled, but Lanlan nodded seriously, "Lanlan likes to listen to stories."
Stroking the child's hair, Yang Cheng began to narrate in a calm tone.
"Once upon a time, there was a little boy. Although he was young, he was stronger than many adults. He could run very fast, and he could also smash a stone with one fist. In short … he was very powerful …
The little boy lived in a place where there were all kinds of powerful children. They trained every day on how to kill people with guns, knives, fists, and poison …
In short, in the little boy's world, other than killing people, what he had to do was not to be killed by others … "
Listening to Yang Cheng's narration, Lanlan was a little entranced, and Lin Ruoxi realized that this was most likely Yang Cheng's own narration.
…
"… Suddenly, one day, the little boy went to an orphanage and wanted to kill a person who happened to be donating money there. That person said he was going to donate money, but in fact, he was using the money to buy the girls in the orphanage, and then let those girls be bullied …
The little boy killed the bad person, and at the same time, the little boy fell in love with the orphanage.
Because there were many children who were his age there. They played games, chased each other, and seemed to be very happy.
The little boy also wanted to know how that kind of smile was obtained. He was very envious.
So, he appeared in front of them, said that he was a child from a nearby family, and asked if they could play with him because he had no friends.
They happily accepted the little boy, and taught him how to play games, catch beetles, raise goldfish … and play with all kinds of things.
Just like that, the little boy occasionally went to kill people at night, and played with those children during the day. They all became very good friends, and those children would even give the little boy candy to eat. The little boy suddenly realized that there was more to this world than just killing and being killed, and there were other things that he found more interesting …
Until one day … someone came to the orphanage to spend money to buy a child. The director of the orphanage looked like a good person, but he was actually in cahoots with those bad people.
Knowing that a few of his friends had been locked up by the director and were prepared to be transported away at night, the little boy was very angry. He didn't wish for his friends to be sold.
So, he ignored the words of those who had taught him not to act on his own. He went to kill the director and the bad person, and released those girls …
Originally, the little boy thought that the matter would pass safely, but he never expected that the next day, the police would come to arrest him, and even point their guns at him …
The little boy realized that it was the girls he had saved who told the police that he was a boy who killed people … "
Upon hearing this, Lanlan couldn't help but ask with tears in her eyes, "Why? Didn't the little boy save them?"
Yang Cheng shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Yes, the little boy did save them, but they were afraid. They were afraid that there was a boy who killed people around them. Although the bad person wanted to sell them, he was at least like them, not a murderer.
However, the little boy was a person who could make them lose their lives.
To them, the little boy was someone from another world. He was an anomaly that needed to be cast aside and left far away …
No matter how intimately they had played with the little boy before, when they realized that the little boy was dangerous, they would first think of protecting themselves, and not understand what kind of person the little boy was. "
"Then … what happened to the little boy?" Lanlan couldn't hear it clearly, but she could roughly understand it. She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"… At that time, the little boy was already dumbfounded. He didn't understand. He didn't understand why such good friends couldn't understand him. He had clearly saved them, but they wanted to hurt him and betray him behind his back …
Just as the police were about to shoot, a girl who only knew how to kill people like the little boy appeared.
She killed all the police officers present, then walked in front of the little boy who was in a daze, and said to him, 'You don't belong here' … "
Seeing the faint emotions in Yang Cheng's eyes, Lin Ruoxi suddenly understood. That was the story that happened between him and Seventeen when they were young …
Involuntarily, Lin Ruoxi felt sour, but she could also understand the meaning behind Yang Cheng's story …
"And then …" Lanlan asked expectantly.
"Then, the little boy left. He never went to see those children who played happily with him again, and he never took the initiative to make those kinds of friends again.
In the end, he realized that only girls like him, who knew how to kill and were not afraid of bloodshed, could understand him … "
"Then wouldn't he be very sad and lonely?"
"No." Yang Cheng said, "Because the little boy finally understood from the girl that the reason why he felt lonely was because he was stronger than other children. The reason why he was sad was because others were afraid of him.
He was strong, others feared him, and even envied him for not being bullied. Why would he be sad? He should be proud, shouldn't he? "
Lanlan looked at Yang Cheng eagerly, blinked her eyes, and said, "Lanlan understands. Because Lanlan is stronger than other children, they are afraid of Lanlan. Lanlan is still a good child, but Lanlan is a good child who is stronger than them!"
Yang Chen finally let out a hearty laugh and gave her a thumbs up. "You're so smart. Lanlan, remember this. Lanlan's mother is prettier than everyone else's. Of course, a beautiful mother can give birth to a powerful Lanlan, right? "
Lanlan smiled sweetly and nodded hard. "Yes!"
Lin Ruoxi saw that Lanlan finally smiled happily. She excitedly wiped the corner of her eyes and pinched Yang Cheng. She said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? You always teach children some twisted logic."
Lanlan suddenly threw herself into Yang Cheng's arms, hooked Yang Cheng's neck, and kissed Yang Cheng's face. Yang Cheng was stunned.
"Also, Lanlan's father is better than other children's fathers!"
"Hehe, that's for sure …"
Yang Cheng was about to boast proudly. Suddenly, an electric current flashed in his head. His heart beat faster. He stammered, "Wait … Lanlan … you … what did you call me just now?"
Lanlan smiled and said, "Daddy. Grandma said that Mommy's husband should be called Daddy."
She never seemed to care too much about the title. She never seemed to care too much about having a daughter. She never seemed to be jealous that her daughter only called her Mommy …
But when Yang Chen heard the soft 'Daddy', he couldn't help but feel his eyes warm up and his heart was filled with warmth.
I really care a lot!
He hugged Lanlan's small waist tightly. He couldn't bear to let go of her chubby little body. He rubbed his face with a bit of stubble on the girl's chubby face. Yang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Little fat girl, say it again!"
Lanlan pouted, "Daddy, don't call Lanlan little fat girl …"
"Daddy … Daddy … I … hehe … haha … Dad …"
Yang Chen hugged Lanlan and just sat there foolishly, reveling in the feeling.
The passersby heard this undisguised laughter and finally looked over. They saw a pink and jade-carved little girl pouting, and a silly man laughing non-stop. Most of them felt that this man had a mental problem.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the father and daughter. One was laughing foolishly, while the other was grumbling. She had an illusion that in this vast world, there was nothing else that could make her feel more warm than this scene at this moment …
