School belle, be more reserved, I can’t pretend anymore.

Just two steps out, Chen Xiaoyi saw a spicy hot pot restaurant and immediately suggested: "Seeing that Xiao Yuyi looks very hungry, why don't we go eat a spicy hot pot first!"

The old lady took one look at it, waved her hands quickly, and said, "This looks like a variety of seasonings, made with technology and hard work. Children can't eat it! Those are all fashionable things that you young people eat!"

Chen Xiaoyi also reacted, nodded and said: "I'm really sorry, I didn't consider this, how about we go to the five-star hotel next door to cook some dishes?"

"what!"

The old woman turned her head and took a look, her face turned pale.

"It's okay. In a big hotel like this, the materials used are usually very particular, and there won't be too many messy things inside. If you can meet Xiao Yuyi's father, let's try the delicious food here together!"

After Chen Xiaoyi finished speaking, he took the lead and headed there.

When the old lady saw this, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, a meal in that kind of place will cost as much as our family's lifetime food expenses!"

"Grandma knows that everything is expensive in big cities. Even the small eggplants, cucumbers, and long and thin carrots that no one wants in the vegetable fields cost dozens of yuan here! "

When Chen Xiaoyi heard this, her expression froze, feeling that the old woman was exaggerating.

Although things in the city are more expensive, they are not that expensive. Maybe the old lady accidentally misread the decimal point on the price list when she passed by the supermarket.

Of course, it is also possible that the old lady recognized the wrong thing...

Seeing that the old lady's expression was a bit ugly, Chen Xiaoyi immediately put on a smile and said, "Don't worry, thanks to Xiao Yuyi's rescue today, it's my treat!"

The old lady still frowned and refused again and said: "That won't work either, it's too expensive!"

"But!"

Chen Xiaoyi saw that the old lady couldn't make sense, and for a while, she didn't know how to persuade her.

There was silence for several minutes.

The old lady suddenly reached out and touched Xiao Yuyi's head, then looked at Chen Xiaoyi and said: "Good girl, grandma also came to this city when she was young, until there was a restaurant with good food and very cheap prices. I don't know Are you still there now?"

"Grandma, do you want to eat?" Chen Xiaoyi asked immediately.

"Yes, it has tasted like this for decades. Although I have forgotten the name of the store, I remember its approximate location very clearly!"

The old lady narrowed her eyes, as if she was remembering something.

At this moment, a lame middle-aged man came from a distance, holding a bag of steamed buns in his hand, with an anxious look on his face.

When the little girl saw it, she immediately came over.

The man picked up the little girl and slapped her little butt hard twice, beating the little girl until she cried.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaoyi and the old lady stepped forward in time, otherwise Xiao Yuyi would have been beaten on the butt.

After the explanation from the old lady and Chen Xiaoyi, the middle-aged man finally regained his composure and agreed to go to the so-called cheap restaurant to eat.

So, Chen Xiaoyi also followed her into the taxi inexplicably, and under the guidance of the old lady, she went to the old hotel the other party mentioned.

Less than ten minutes after the taxi left, Chen Xiaoyi's cell phone rang.

The caller was a takeaway rider, and the voice sounded like a young man. He delivered the cake to the location where Chen Xiaoyi ordered the meal as soon as possible, but he didn't see the person who took the order.

Years of experience in food delivery told him that this matter was not simple, so he kindly called.

It was only then that Chen Xiaoyi remembered that she had just ordered a big cake for the little girl. Just because of a series of things just now, I accidentally forgot about this matter.

However, she did not hesitate, let alone waste the delivery boy's time, and just asked him to hang the cake on the tree.

Now that they were in the taxi, all they had to do was ask the driver to retrace their steps.

"Master, could you please take us back?" Chen Xiaoyi asked tentatively.

"What's wrong?"

The driver continued driving, but still asked.

Chen Xiaoyi revealed that she had ordered a cake and said it was a birthday gift for the little girl.

However, the driver looked troubled and said that he was now disoriented and had no idea where he was and couldn't find his way back.

Chen Xiaoyi was a little dazed and wanted to say something, but the little girl held her hand and said, "It's okay, Xiao Yuyi doesn't like cake!"

"All right!"

The corners of Chen Xiaoyi's mouth twitched. What child doesn't like eating cakes? It's obvious that this little girl is too sensible and doesn't want to trouble others.

So Chen Xiaoyi decided to order a big cake for her after arriving at the restaurant.

After thinking about it, Chen Xiaoyi still felt that something was wrong, so she immediately took out her phone.

Looking at the navigation map, Chen Xiaoyi found that her trajectory was turning left and right. She had now left the city center and was heading towards the suburbs.

Seeing that the signal on the mobile phone was getting weaker and weaker, Chen Xiaoyi suddenly had an ominous premonition.

But during this process, the taxi driver didn't say a word and drove completely according to the old lady's guidance. His service attitude was so good that Chen Xiaoyi couldn't be bothered for a while.

Besides, we are now a society governed by law, so it is not easy to encounter bad people like human trafficking.

"Ding dong!"

Suddenly, Chen Xiaoyi's cell phone vibrated and made a sound.

Then, the profile picture of my best friend He Tiantian jumped a few times and she sent a message: "Yiyi, where have you been? Why can't I get through on the phone?"

"this!"

Chen Xiaoyi was stunned and immediately replied to the message, but the signal was completely lost.

Then, she tried to call He Tiantian, but she couldn't get through at all.

Just when Chen Xiaoyi was extremely anxious, the little girl held her hand again and comforted: "Pretty sister, why do you look unhappy!"

"Nothing, nothing!"

Chen Xiaoyi quickly forced out a smile, feeling a little flustered.

At this time, the old lady turned her head and glanced, sighed and said, "Good girl, don't worry, we should be here soon!"

Chen Xiaoyi glanced at the two of them and nodded slightly, feeling that she was thinking too much.

Most areas are now covered by signals, and maybe mobile phones will be able to receive signals in a while.

Suddenly, the little girl came closer, then stared into Chen Xiaoyi's eyes and said, "Sister, you still seem a little unhappy!"

"No, it's nothing!"

Chen Xiaoyi waved her hands quickly and said haha.

"Since I'm not unhappy, I must be as hungry as Xiao Yuyi!"

After saying that, the little girl asked her grandma for a White Rabbit toffee, and she even took the initiative to help her peel off the candy wrapper.

Chen Xiaoyi felt warm in her heart, took the White Rabbit toffee and put it into her mouth. As a strong sweetness spread in her mouth, she felt sleepy for no reason, and then fell asleep...
