Chapter 373 - A Little Girl
Lu Xun really regretted it. His jealousy had gotten him into trouble. In the end, he had told her the truth. He was always been popular while studying and had received countless love letters. Fortunately, he had not mentioned the chocolates and gifts he received on valentines day.
Seeing the unhappy look on Song Xing Xing's face, Lu Xun knew that he could only coax her.
He spent his time peeling crayfish for his wife. Then, he volunteered to queue up at the milk tea shop and bought her a cup of her favorite flavor.
When he returned to her side with a cup of milk tea, Lu Xun found that there was a little girl beside his wife. The little girl was around Zhang Li Xue's age. Her face looked chubby and tender. Her face reddened as tears poured down her eyes.
Lu Xun walked over and heard Song Xing Xing trying to coax the girl. "What happened?"
Song Xing Xing looked up when she heard his voice. She heaved a sigh and spoke, "It seemed that she got separated from her parents."
Lu Xun lowered his head to look at the little girl. Before he could ask her something, the little girl started to cry louder when she saw his face.
Quickly, the little girl shifted to hide behind Song Xing Xing's body. Her head poked out to look at him cautiously.
The girl was looking at him as if he was a bad guy and this was making him uncomfortable.
Lu Xun wondered if his face was too scary.
"Should we send her over to the police?"
Song Xing Xing scanned her surroundings. At this time, the street was still crowded as there were many who came to enjoy their late-night snack.
It hasn't been long ago when she found the girl wandering the street with tears in her eyes. It seemed that it hasn't been a long time since she was separated from her parents.
They could send her over to the police station. But Song Xing Xing was worried that the little girl's parents would return to find their daughter and missed her.
"Let's just wait here for a while," Song Xing Xing said. "Ten minutes. If we still could not find the girl's parents, then we'll go to the police station."
The little girl heard the word, 'police' and started to cry again.
Previously, her mother often told her that the police would take her away if she was disobedient. Then, she would never see her family again. The little girl grew afraid as she thought about not meeting her parents again.
"Don't cry." Song Xing Xing crouched down to the little girl's level. She took out some paper tissue and helped to wipe the tears and snot on the girl's face. "We'll see your parents soon, alright?"
"I'll be a good girl," the little girl said between her sobs. "Don't send me to the police."
"Why not? Uncle police will help you to look for your mom and dad."
"Mommy said the police will take me away if I am disobedient. Sister, I'll be obedient, alright? I want to see my mommy and daddy." The little girl's tears came out like a burst dam.
Song Xing Xing exchanged a glance with Lu Xun. Then, she continued to coax the girl. After a while, tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, but at least the little girl had stopped crying loudly.
Worried that the girl's parents might not be able to see their daughter, Song Xing Xing brought the girl to sit down on the bench under the lamp post.
Lu Xun watched as his wife continued to speak to the girl in a soft tone.
The girl obediently listened to her and the way she was clutching at Song Xing Xing's shirt showed that she had decided to rely on her until she was reunited with her parents.
A helpless sigh escaped him. His Xing Xing is undoubtedly good with small children.
After waiting for a while, anxious young parents were seen rushing over to their side. The mother looked at the little girl and heaved in relief once the little girl was in her embrace.
"Mommy! Where did you go?" The little girl started to cry again. "I thought you didn't want me anymore."
The mother's heart turned soft and soon the mother and daughter continued to cry while hugging each other tightly.
The father turned to Lu Xun and finally figured out what was going on. Knowing that Song Xing Xing had stayed close to their daughter to keep her company, the father continuously thanked the couple.
Fortunately, their daughter ran into a good person. The father could not imagine what it would be like if their daughter ran into some bad person.
After exchanging a few words, they finally parted ways.
The little girl promised Song Xing Xing that she would stick close to her parents and waved her goodbye.
Half of the ice already melted when Lu Xun handed her the cup of milk tea.
When the couple returned to the house, everyone had already asleep. The couple tiptoed to their room and breathed in relief.
Song Xing Xing saw her comfy bed and immediately slumped down on the mattress.
"Tired?"
Song Xing Xing turned to his voice and smiled. "Mmm... a little bit." She did not expect that they would run into the child and had to stay for a while to coax her. "Fortunately, the child was reunited with her parents."
She could not imagine what it would be if the parents did not show up.
The truth is, Song Xing Xing too was worried if something like that would happen.
Lu Xun lay down by her side. He tucked away a few strands of hair behind her ears. A warm smile curled on his lips he recalled the way Song Xing Xing had coaxed the little girl. He also remembered the way his wife had interacted with Zhang Yu Han's children at the restaurant. She was always very patient with them.
"You are very good with kids. I thought that the little girl would cry for a long time."
Song Xing Xing laughed when she heard his words. This was not the first time that anyone had said that she was good with kids.
Her mother had previously said that it was perhaps because she was too childish and the kids had thought of her as one of their kind.
"Xing Xing."
"Un?" When she looked into his eyes, she was a little surprised by his intense gaze.
"Do you... Do you want to have a baby?"
Her heartbeat accelerated. Song Xing Xing was wondering just how did the conversation shift to this topic.
Previously, she had run away and they decided to discuss it after the wedding. But seeing the way Lu Xun was staring at her stirred something in her heart.
Song Xing Xing lowered her head shyly. "I want to."
Her answer made him excited.. Lu Xun held her tightly in his arms and kissed her face. Then, he looked at her again and spoke, "Xing Xing, let's have a baby, hmm?"
