The Silent Cherry And Plum Blossoms

They were sitting by the window, the night was falling outside the window, the ink color rolled over and some orange street lights blended in the sky, pedestrians in twos and threes.

An Zhi's stomach made a "cuckoo" sound, and she covered her stomach with a blushing face, "The frog in my stomach is screaming."

Frog in belly?

Seen by Yan Qi, she seemed a little embarrassed, and compared her small hands to her stomach, "There is a frog living in my stomach, and when I am hungry, he will... coo..."

Seeing Yan Qi's smile getting deeper and deeper, she whispered more and more: "...Grandpa said it."

Yan Qi hid his smile and looked suddenly enlightened: "So that's how it is."

An Zhicai picked up a small spoon and dug into the mashed potatoes, eating with relish.

It looks cute when a child eats delicious food... Yan Qi thought.With an undisguised smile in her eyes, she stopped eating the hamburger after she finished eating, and watched her eat quietly.

It feels a little grown up.

Yan Qi asked, "Do you know where you live?"

An Zhi took a sip of juice, "Well, I know the bus station."

Yan Qi was startled, his brows furrowed slightly, "You take the bus"

An Zhi bit the straw, exerted some force on her lips, and the dimple on her right cheek sank, and said vaguely, "Sometimes... no one comes to pick me up..."

That day she was taken back by that man called Dad, in a big house with a driver and a servant.Then I went to kindergarten and never saw him again.

In the beginning, someone picked her up to and from school.After a few days, seeing that the master didn't care about her, he said behind his back: "Anyway, her surname is not Chen... why bother, just don't let her lose it..."

Kindergarten dismissal time is 04:30, many parents wait at the door in advance, they have to be "No.1" to pick up their children, An Zhi is always the last one.At first the teacher would accompany her, but gradually the time was too long, and she began to complain about not being able to get off work on time.

An Zhi knew everything, and then he took the initiative to walk out of the school gate.She knew that no one would come to pick her up, and she didn't want to go back too early. It was just a big strange house when she went back.

The old man at the door would talk to her, and it was he who taught her to take the bus and recognize the bus license plate.When he got into the car for the first time, the driver thought he was wrong, and stared behind her, thinking that an adult would come up.The adults in the car stared at her with pity on their faces.Fortunately, the road is not difficult to remember. She took the No. 218 bus, stopped at the last stop, walked up three thousand steps, turned back, then walked one thousand steps, counted to the fifth house, and arrived.

An Zhi thought of those eyes, her eyes instantly became sour, and she lowered her head slightly.Say in your heart: Don't cry...they kindly take you to eat, you can't cry...

She buried her head lower, reached up to touch the egg tart, stuffed it to her mouth, and gnawed on it.

Yan Qi let out a sigh of relief, but couldn't hold back and stood up, moving the chair with a little force.

An Zhi raised her head upon hearing the sound, she pursed her small mouth, tears were about to fall.She quickly wiped it with her small hand, and quickly lowered her head.

Yan Qi paused, she didn't know how to coax the child, so she could only reach out and stroke her head.

"Wait here for me, I'll make a call."

She didn't want the children to see her get angry, so she walked away a few steps and called Chen Muqi.When the phone was connected, Yan Qi took a few deep breaths and told him the outline of the matter. Even though she had a very good tutor, she wanted to beat someone very much at this moment.

Chen Muqi was silent on the phone for a long time before he said in a muffled voice: "Then... I don't know what to do..."

Yan Qi let out a breath.Looking up, she found that the little girl over there was staring at her, with a little cautious expectation in her eyes.

Looking at her, she lowered her head and started to eat French fries.

This little girl is like a small seed, quietly taking root in her heart, and now she has grown into a sapling that cannot be ignored.Let her care.

"How about I send her to a relative's house? She has children at home... She should be able to take care of children..."

Without even thinking about it, Yan Qi said, "No need..."

After hanging up the phone, she returned to the table, and the children's meal was almost eaten by her.

"Are you full?"

An Zhi picked up the last small French fries, "I'm full." She licked her little finger, "The frog has stopped crying."

Yan Qi curled his lips into a smile: "I'll bring you to eat later."

The lights in KFC were shining brightly, An Zhi looked up at her, her dimples deepened slightly, and she said, "I'm going back.

She tightened the straps of her backpack.

Yan Qi looked down at her: "Do you want to go back?"

Her voice is really nice, this time the shirt is gray, the sleeves are rolled up, revealing a slender and white wrist, and she wears a white watch.He was tall, because he wanted to talk to her, he bowed down, his eyelashes were long, and his cheeks were shiny and gentle under the light.

Yan Qi is the gentlest and the best one among all the grown-ups she has met.

She grabbed the strap of her clutch and said, "I have nowhere else to go..."

The little sapling in Yan Qi's heart instantly branched out and gave birth to many vines, which wrapped tightly around her heart, causing her to feel pain.

After a few seconds of silence, she stretched out her hand to her: "Come." He motioned for her to hold her hand, and An Zhi went to hold her hand in a daze. As soon as her fingers touched, the tender warmth enveloped her, and she was pulled a few steps away.

An Zhi looked up at her questioningly, the hair around her ear fluttered slightly due to walking, and she led her out of the gate of KFC, the cold night wind, the lights just came on, the traffic was busy, and there was a lot of people's voices.

An Zhi flinched, her hands were tightened, she raised her head, Yan Qi's gentle and clear gaze entered her eyes, "An Zhi, since you have nowhere to go, then go to my house."

Everything around seems to be silent, and it feels like a dream in a fairy tale.

An Zhi got into Yan Qi's car, the car was spacious and the co-pilot's seat was so wide that her legs couldn't touch the bottom.Strap on like a frightened animal.

Yan Qi raised his lips slightly, rubbed her hair, and slowed down the car.Seemingly aware of the child's nervousness, she pointed to the car window to show her.

An Zhi turned his head to the side, the sky was full of colorful lights outside the car window, looking down from the viaduct, it seemed to be floating in mid-air.

Anzhi pressed his face against the glass with a "wow" and opened his eyes wide.

Yan Qi rolled his eyes.She discovered that the child's eyes would widen when he was surprised, as if he couldn't think of any words for a while, and only had time to say "wow".

so cute.

Yan Qi's home is in the suburbs, and there was a bit of a traffic jam, and it was already past eight o'clock when he arrived at the community.Late at night, the wind was even stronger. When the car drove into the garden, the slender and lush tree branches passed by quickly. When they arrived at the garage, An Zhi had already fallen asleep on the chair.

She unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car, went to the other side and opened the door.He picked her up carefully, resting his head on her shoulder.Hanging her little bunny satchel on the other arm.

Very light, soft.

Much more cuddly than her twin nephews who look like piggies.

Passing through the quiet open-air corridor, green climbing plants, and the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums.

Entering the room, a woman in her fifties with gentle eyes and a friendly smile greeted her.

"Xiao Wu, you're back." Seeing An Zhi in Yan Qi's arms, she showed a surprised expression, "Whose child is this?"

"Aunt Xin," Yan Qi said, "It's from a friend's house, and she's going to stay at home for a while, you can look for clothes for her..."

The woman called Aunt Xin thought about it: "I'm afraid it's hard to find..." She said helplessly, "There are few girls in the family, oh. You still have your childhood clothes, I'll look for them..."

"Sister-in-law, there is Fatty Yan, where is Fatty Yan?"

Aunt Xin smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law took them back to her mother's house for a few days, the in-laws are missing their children."

"That's right... you should also go to the side where the harm is caused..."

An Zhi woke up while they were talking, feeling comfortable and warm being hugged. It was a very insecure behavior that her feet didn't land on the ground, but she smelled that indescribable fragrance again.In the soft embrace, she didn't want to move, she wanted to be held for a while longer.

Listening to what the adults said, she became a little curious again, and unconsciously rubbed her cheeks.

The person holding her noticed and asked softly, "Are you awake?"

Embarrassed, she turned away and opened her eyes to look at "Aunt Xin" standing in front of her, looking at her with a friendly smile on her face.

"Aunt Xin, this is Anzhi."

Feeling the hand on the back gently pat her, An Zhi immediately understood, and said obediently: "Hello, Aunt Xin..."

Aunt Xin seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then smiled again: "Good boy, you should be called grandma... What a cute little girl..."

Reaching out to touch her head, Anzhi immediately fell in love with her.

"Xiao Wu, you have been tired all day, and you have to go to work tomorrow, so give me An Zhi."

She stretched out her hand to hug her, but An Zhi shrank almost reflexively, and put his arms around Yan Qi's neck.

Yan Qi smiled: "It's okay, I'll take her to see her grandparents, what about them?"

"Oh..." Surprise flashed across Aunt Xin's face, and she said, "I'm watching TV on the second floor."

As he spoke, he wanted to take the small schoolbag hanging from Yan Qi's hand. An Zhi was about to say something, but Yan Qi avoided Aunt Xin's movements, "Then I'll go up." He continued to hold her and walked towards the stairs.

Aunt Xin was behind her, showing a thoughtful smile: "It seems that Xiao Wu likes this little girl very much..."
