Li Xiao and Li Beijue were stunned for a moment at the same time, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became a little unnatural.
Jiang Baobao's attention was all on the little girl in front of him, but he didn't pay attention to their expressions. He just explained: "Tiantian said that the poisonous snake is not good to that child, and he beats and scolds at every turn, so I promised him if he can find it, I'm afraid this matter will trouble you two. If the child can be found, I can discuss it with my uncle and adopt him under the Jiang family's name..."
Li Beijue's eyes flickered for a moment and he said nothing.
Tiantian thought he was unwilling, so she hurriedly said loudly: "Daddy! Brother Shitou is really good! You will definitely like him! Can you promise me?"
Li Beijue was asked by her name, so he had no choice but to answer.
After hearing that both of them agreed, the little girl happily gave up and lay on the bed to rest peacefully, but she couldn't hide the excitement on her face.
great!
From now on, no bad guys will bully Brother Shitou anymore!
He will be his brother from now on!
…
the next day--
Baby Jiang left the hospital early in the morning with his baby.
Tiantian had rested all night and had recovered more than half of her energy. As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't wait to ask: "Mommy, when are you going to see Brother Shitou?"
Jiang Baobao was almost scratched by these four words until his ears became calluses. Hearing the words, he felt dumbfounded.
"Baby, you have to take your time with this matter. How can it be found so easily?"
Baby Jiang rubbed her little head in a funny way, sent her back to the room, settled down, and hurried to the kitchen to make her favorite snacks.
"Baby……"
Li Beijue walked in from the kitchen door, his tone hesitant.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Jiang Baobao was busy with what he was doing and asked without raising his head.
Then he suddenly felt warmth behind him.
The man's familiar embrace and body temperature surrounded her, tightly encircling her in his arms.
Although the two of them had had "close contact" many times, Baby Jiang couldn't help but blush a little and squirmed slightly.
"You can see what's inside from the outside..."
She whispered, but did not ask Li Beijue to let go of her.
Li Beijue said nothing, but his arms around her tightened a little.
After a long while, he spoke softly: "I have something to tell you..."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Baobao noticed something was wrong with his tone.
But he heard the person behind him sigh.
"About the child Tiantian is looking for...he..."
Li Beijue suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
"What's up with him?"
Jiang Baobao asked subconsciously. After saying that, he suddenly noticed something and his eyes widened slightly.
Then, as expected, I heard Li Beijue continue to say from behind: "The child helped snatch the antidote that my uncle got from the poisonous snake. After the poisonous snake was shot...it dragged the child and fell into the sea."
"What?"
Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, thinking of the little boy he had only seen twice from a distance, and Tiantian's words of praise for him these past two days, he couldn't help but feel concerned.
Then he asked with some hope: "Can't you find it anymore?"
"It's more bad than good."
Li Beijue shook his head.
The two fell silent together, and no one spoke.
After a while——
"If Tiantian knew about it, she would be very sad..."
Jiang Baobao's tone was a little worried.
"I'm also considering whether to tell her about this."
Li Beijue was a little confused.
Jiang Baobao thought for a moment and then said: "Tiantian has been thinking about his stone brother. I don't want to lie to him, but will this kind of blow be too big for her? That child... has really not been found. Is there any hope?"
Jiang Baobao lowered his eyes and stared at the half-finished cake in his hand. When he thought about the little girl's possible reaction when he heard this, he felt extremely distressed.
Both of them were in a trance, but no one noticed a small figure quietly walking towards this side.
When Tiantian came down the stairs, she saw Li Beijue holding Jiang Baobao in the kitchen. Then he stepped lightly and came over with a gossipy look on his face.
Just as they reached the door, they heard Jiang Baobao inside say: "If we tell her... what should we say? Tell her... isn't her Shitou brother unwilling to come back with us? Or tell her the truth... that The child will never come back?"
Jiang Baobao thought about it and could only think of these two answers, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking——
"What's wrong with Brother Shitou?"
Tiantian suddenly ran out of the kitchen door and looked at Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue in surprise, her eyes widening.
"Tiantian? When did you come here?"
Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue were both startled and looked at the little guy in front of them in surprise.
Tiantian ignored the two people's questions and just asked persistently: "Mommy, what did you say about Brother Shitou just now? He won't be unwilling to come back with me! Why did you say he will never come back again?"
Tiantian's face was full of anxiety, and she was crying as she spoke.
"Baby, don't worry first..."
When Jiang Baobao saw her like this, his heart was pounding, and he hurriedly knelt down and held her little hand.
"What mommy just meant...is..." Jiang Baobao quickly thought of a suitable excuse in his mind.
But sweet tears had already fallen down. She looked at Baby Jiang seriously and said, "Mommy, don't lie to me."
When Jiang Baobao was about to say something, his mouth was instantly blocked, and he could only look to Li Beijue at the side for help.
Li Beijue also squatted down and gently took the little girl's other hand.
"Tiantian, Daddy won't lie to you, but you promise Daddy that you won't be too sad, okay?"
Li Beijue couldn't bear to see the little girl shed tears, but he didn't want to deceive her either.
"Daddy...what happened to Brother Shitou? Is he injured..."
Tiantian looked at the expressions of the two people. Although she didn't understand what happened, she knew that her brother Shitou must be in trouble now.
Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao looked at each other and exchanged a look. Then he slowly said: "Tiantian, your brother Shitou is very brave. Just like you said, he has been protecting you, but It's a pity that the bad guy who took you away dragged him into the sea... We can't find him yet..."
"Hai Li?"
Tiantian listened to Li Beijue's words and asked blankly.
Then the next second I burst into tears!
"I don't want Brother Shitou to fall into the sea! I want to find him!"
While crying loudly, the little girl slammed away the hands of Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue, and ran towards the door without looking back!
