Chapter 49 You Have to Grow Up
Looking at the timid little girl, Lin Cheng smiled widely: "Mom told Enxi not to open the door to strangers, right? Enxi did a great job."
The doorbell rang for so long, the little girl must have been standing behind the door, but she was short and couldn't see the peephole, so she waited until she confirmed Lin Cheng's identity before she dared to open the door carefully.
"Yeah."
The little girl responded softly, and did not continue to open the door, but looked up at Lin Cheng through a palm-wide crack in the door.
There was a hint of kindness and a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
Lin Cheng sighed in his heart. He has lived here for three years. When he first saw this little girl, she had just learned to speak. So much time has passed in the blink of an eye.
"Did Mom go to work?"
Enxi didn't say anything, still looking at Lin Cheng with the same eyes.
If it weren't for Lin Cheng's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed that she nodded slightly.
This is probably why the little girl sometimes looks stupid, and sometimes her response to others seems very slow.
In fact, the willingness to open the door for him showed that the little girl already believed that he was a trustworthy person.
"Xiaoying is playing snowballs downstairs, Enxi, do you want to go with us?"
The little face in the crack of the door nodded first, then shook her head, "Mom is not at home, Enxi won't go out."
The little girl obviously wanted to go.
Lin Cheng thought for a while: "Then uncle will call your mother, if your mother agrees, let's go downstairs to play together, okay?"
The little girl didn't say anything, just stared at Lin Cheng.
Seeing that she didn't refuse, Lin Cheng squatted in front of the door and took out his mobile phone.
"Hello, Lin Cheng?"
The person on the other side was very surprised. The last time Lin Cheng called her was half a year ago.
"Sister Shiyan, that... the snow is very thick today. Xiaoying wants to find Enxi to go downstairs to play. What do you think?"
Lin Cheng didn't know what was wrong, and he stuttered a little. Enxi's mother has always been a very powerful person in his eyes.
Although in a sense, Sister Shiyan can be regarded as his lifesaver.
If it weren't for her, Lin Cheng would have died in that accident, and he wouldn't have had the chance to gain a reaction ability far beyond that of an ordinary person.
"No need." A cold voice came from the microphone.
Lin Cheng sighed, and this answer was not unexpected.
Turning around and looking at the little face in the crack of the door, the little girl was still staring at him blankly in that posture.
Lin Cheng knew that the more she was like this, the more she wanted to go out.
"Anything else? I'll hang up first."
Lin Cheng smiled at the little girl, "Sister Shiyan, you've been so busy recently. Enxi hasn't been out for a long time since the school holiday, right?"
The other side was silent for a while.
"Sister Shiyan, I think Enxi also wants to play with Xiaoying. How about this? Xiaotong and I will play with Enxi today, and you can come to pick her up in the evening."
There was no reply from the other side, only the sound of shallow breathing.
Lin Cheng didn't urge her, and winked at the little girl in the crack of the door, even though the little girl didn't react at all.
"Then... thank you for your help."
Lin Cheng smiled, "It's okay, we will take Enxi to dinner, sister Shiyan, you don't have to come back to bring her food, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Cheng showed a big smile to the little girl in the door: "Hey, your mother agreed, let's get ready and go downstairs."
The little girl nodded, and did not let Lin Cheng in, turning around and going into the house.
Lin Cheng waited patiently at the door.
After a long time, the little girl opened the door and came out, already wrapped in a small white down jacket, wearing fluffy rabbit earmuffs and thick gloves, looking very cute.
Obviously, it is not easy for a four-year-old girl to pack all these.
"Hey! Let's go downstairs."
Lin Cheng reached out to hold the little girl's hand, but she shrank away.
"Then Enxi walks by herself, be careful not to fall." Lin Cheng didn't mind.
Lin Cheng led the little girl to the snow below. Seeing her friends from afar, Xiaoying jumped over and hugged the little girl and laughed happily.
"Enxi, Enxi, Xiaoying misses you so much."
The little girl nodded vigorously, no longer slow when facing Lin Cheng, "Enxi misses Xiaoying too."
"Xiaoying, take Enxi out to play, remember not to bully others."
Lin Cheng reminded her. After seeing the hot-tempered girl Xiaoying's previous performance, there was no need to worry about them being bullied. It was probably good enough that the group of furry kids were not bullied by her.
The two little girls ran to the side to play in the snow. Lin Cheng put a Christmas hat on the snowman's head. Xiao Tong happily took a photo with the snowman, ready to show off to his southern friends in China.
Lin Cheng sat down on the snow, "Sister Shuyan, let's take Enxi out to play this afternoon. I guess her mother hasn't had time to take her out for a long time."
"Did Enxi's mother agree?" Han Shuyan sat down next to her.
"Hehe, thanks to me! I tell you..."
Just when Lin Cheng was sitting on the snow and chatting with Han Shuyan, Xiaoying took Eunxi and ran to a group of friends.
"Let's have a snowball fight. With Eunxi here, we can have three people on each side."
"I won't play with her."
Little Zhenghao was pushed by Xiaoying just now, but he is still not afraid of power.
Xiaoying shook her fist angrily: "Sister Shuyan said just now that it is wrong to bully others. You are not allowed to bully Eunxi."
"I didn't bully her."
Zhenghao shrank his neck, "But I just don't want to play with her unless she admits that she was wrong. Angels don't exist, and people can't fly or become angels."
"No."
The little girl Enxi pursed her lips and spoke loudly for the first time: "Enxi can become an angel, Enxi can fly."
"You are bragging, Enxi is a fool."
Zhenghao made a face, Xiaoying rolled up her sleeves and chased after him, "Stop, I'm going to beat you."
Little Shota ran away and the scene was in chaos.
After realizing it later, Lin Cheng hurriedly went to break up the fight with Han Shuyan. The two of them were still unconvinced. One wanted to beat the person, and the other insisted on provocation.
Lin Cheng didn't expect that one day he would be so irritated by a few little kids.
Where no one noticed, a small white figure entered the apartment building.
The little girl Enxi climbed up the stairs to the second floor with a solemn expression. While climbing the stairs, the little girl muttered:
"Angels can fly. Mom said Enxi is a little angel. Enxi can fly to find her father."
There is a small terrace on the second floor of the apartment, facing the lawn on the side of the apartment.
The little girl ran to the terrace, struggled to climb up the low railing of the terrace and stood on the edge.
"Come on Enxi, Enxi can fly."
On the other side, Lin Cheng had just calmed down the two brats when he heard the little fat man exclaim, "Look."
Lin Cheng turned around and saw a little girl appearing on the terrace a few meters away, climbing over the railing and moving to the edge of the terrace.
Depend on!
Lin Cheng quickly rushed to the bottom of the terrace.
The little girl opened her arms wearing a white down jacket. At this moment, she felt that they were her own wings.
"Look, Enxi can fly."
After saying that, the little girl kicked hard and jumped down from the terrace.
The scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.
Lin Cheng jumped forward, accurately stretched out his arms to catch the little girl in the air, and then smashed her sideways on the snow.
The terrace on the second floor is only about three meters high, and there is thick snow below, so the impact brought by the little girl is not great.
Lin Cheng sat up immediately to check the little girl's condition, "Enxi, are you in pain? Are you injured anywhere?"
The little girl looked at Lin Cheng blankly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Are you injured somewhere? Tell uncle quickly."
The little girl didn't say anything, but looked down at her little hands again, and suddenly cried out with a "wow" sound, and big tears quickly accumulated and fell from her eyes.
Lin Cheng opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he stretched out his arms and hugged the little girl tightly.
He had never seen this stupid little girl have such a big emotional reaction.
Eun-hee cried so sadly.
He didn't know whether she was crying because of the pain from the fall or because of the disillusionment of her fantasy.
Maybe, when this little girl grows up, she will understand.
Some things are destined not to change according to human will.
