I can really play with it

Chapter 22 Xiaoqian Locked Out
After Lin Qi bought a series of daily necessities, he returned to the package building with a large bag.

The house that Lin Qi rented was on the fourth floor, and when he got to the third floor, he saw a familiar back.

It's Xiao Qian!
The little girl is sitting on the stairs, laying the large schoolbag flat on her lap, with a workbook on the schoolbag, holding a pen in her hand, looking like she is doing homework.

It's just from a side angle, her pen tip has been suspended in the air, and she hasn't written yet.

There was still some white ashes from the wall on the back of the clothes, which seemed to have rubbed against it just now.

what's going on?Is this girl also a resident of this building?

Lin Qi searched his memory, and it seemed that he really didn't know who lived in the house downstairs.

After all, he really rarely goes out.

"Xiao Qian?" Lin Qi tried to call.

The little girl turned her head, there was still a trace of tears on her face, and when she saw a stranger calling her, she tilted her head with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"How do you know my name?"

Lin Qi blinked and pointed upstairs:

"I live on the fourth floor. I saw you and your mother at the supermarket just now."

Hearing the word "supermarket", Xiao Qian clearly remembered something, and the light in her eyes dimmed.

She didn't ask any further, pushed the heavy-looking schoolbag up the stairs, stood up by herself, patted the dust on her buttocks, and let Lin Qi out of the corridor.

But Lin Qi didn't move, he looked at the little girl's obviously gloomy face, rummaged in the shopping bag for a while, and took out the box of cookies.

"Xiaoqian, do you want to eat, I can give it to you."

Lin Qi looked at her with a smile.

Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, and a surprised smile appeared on her face, but this smile only appeared for a moment and then retracted. After hesitating for a while, she said reluctantly:
"Mom said you can't just accept gifts from strangers."

Very sensible little girl.

"But I'm not a stranger, I'm your neighbor, and I found that the box of cookies seems to be broken. I don't really like broken cookies."

Hearing this, Xiao Qian's expression was obviously moved, but she still didn't reach out to take the box of cookies.

"I broke this box of biscuits. Xiaoqian did something wrong. Mom was very angry."

There was a bit of grievance in his tone, but he was honest.

"It's okay, eat it. If your mother asks later, I'll explain it."

Lin Qian said in a "wrap it on me" tone, and Xiao Qian seemed to have made up her mind.

Putting the pen and paper in his hand on the ground, he stretched his long sleeves with his hands, and finally stretched out his hands together and took the biscuits in Lin Qi's hand very solemnly.

"Thank you brother."

"My name is Lin Qi."

"Thank you, Brother Lin Qi!"

Xiaoqian said thank you twice in a row, and her polite and well-behaved appearance made Lin Qi feel a little distressed.

She carefully tore open the cookie wrapper and removed the clear plastic support.

The biscuits inside were indeed broken a lot. When moving the plastic tray, a few crumbs stuck to her hand.

She seemed to have some conditioned reflex to put her hand to her mouth and lick it, but it was only halfway through that she remembered that it was outside, with a big brother standing beside her.

She smiled embarrassedly at Lin Qi, put her hand down, pinched a biscuit with her thumb and index finger, and brought it to her mouth very smoothly with her small hand.

A few crumbs fell down, and there was a bit of distress in her eyes, but then she seemed to taste the deliciousness of the biscuits.

A happy smile appeared on his face.

"Is it tasty?"

"Mmmmm... delicious."

The little girl replied inarticulately.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, there are many more."

When Xiao Qian heard these words, the happiness in her eyes became a little richer.

"Where is your mother, Xiaoqian, why are you the only one outside the door?"

Xiaoqian swallowed the biscuit completely, and said with a bit of contentment:
"When we went out just now, we forgot the keys at home, and my mother went to find a locksmith."

It turned out to be the case.

……

Shen Yan felt very uncomfortable at this time. In order to save the money for the box of biscuits, Xiaoqian was so sad, but she forgot the key at home because of her own mistake.

It costs more than 50 yuan to find a locksmith, and can buy two and a half boxes of biscuits.

I blame myself for being useless. Xiaoqian is such a sensible child, but he has to scold her...

Recalling Xiaoqian's tears in the supermarket just now, she also blamed herself and wanted to cry.

Misfortunes do not come singly. Today, God seems to be deliberately making things difficult for their mother and daughter. The locksmith nearby is not in the shop, and she doesn't know where to find the locksmith for a while.

Xiaoqian has been staying at the door of the house for a long time, will something happen?
No, I have to go back first, put Xiaoqian in the house of an acquaintance, and then slowly find the lockpicker myself.

She hurried back to the Tongzi Building and came to the third floor. A tall and strange man stood in front of her, and seemed to be talking to Xiaoqian.

She instantly became vigilant and shouted loudly:

"Little Qian!"

Xiao Qian, who was blocked by the man, stuck his head out from the side and smiled happily:

"Mom, you're back! Can we go in?"

Strangely, the daughter seems to be very happy, not at all the depressed look just now.

The man also turned his head, looked at himself, and greeted politely:
"Hello, Xiaoqian's mother, I'm Lin Qi on the fourth floor."

Seeing Lin Qi's appearance, Shen Yan was a little surprised.

It's that person I met in the supermarket!

Is he actually a resident on the fourth floor?Why haven't I seen it before?

Seeing that her daughter was all right, she was relieved.

I don't know why, but the tall, thin boy in front of me has absolutely nothing to do with the word "bad guy" in terms of appearance and temperament.

Gives a very friendly feeling.

Then Shen Yan saw the biscuits in Xiao Qian's hand.

"Xiao Qian, what are you eating?"

Xiao Qian pursed her lips and looked at Lin Qi as if asking for help.

"I gave it to Xiaoqian. I bought it wrong in the supermarket just now. It's not the taste I like, but Xiaoqian liked it very much, so I gave it to her."

Shen Yan looked at Lin Qi with complex eyes.

This must be a lie...

This box of biscuits was obviously stuffed to the inside, how could it be wrong.

But seeing her daughter's appearance as if she made a mistake, her heart softened and she couldn't bear to blame her again.

"Xiaoqian, thank you brother, don't you?"

"I'm thankful! Really! You ask Brother Lin Qi."

When Xiaoqian heard this, she knew that her mother could accept this box of cookies by default, and she was excited to prove herself.

Lin Qi also nodded seriously:
"Xiao Qian is a very polite child, you have taught me well."

Shen Yan's eyes showed gratitude, and she also understood the boy's intention at this time.

"Mom, hurry up and open the door, the stairs are too hard, it's uncomfortable to sit."

Shen Yan said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Qian, you may have to wait a little longer. The nearby lockpicker is not available, so you have to look elsewhere."

"Xiao Qian, take your schoolbag and wait for your mother in Dr. Zhang's clinic below, okay?"

"what……"

"Doctor Zhang's potion smells so strong, Xiaoqian doesn't like that smell..."

Xiao Qian was obviously a little reluctant.

She looked at Lin Qi and suddenly said:
"Mom, can I go to Brother Lin Qi's house to stay for a while?"

During the conversation just now, Xiao Qian knew that Lin Qi lived alone.

"Xiao Qian, don't be self-willed, Brother Lin Qi is also very busy." Shen Yan was obviously embarrassed to let Xiao Qian go to trouble Lin Qi again.

"Yes, I also have desks and chairs at home. I am also studying and preparing for exams. If you trust me, Xiaoqian mother, let Xiaoqian come."

"Just come and pick her up later."

Lin Qi said very happily.
