Your lunch is mine

This child... doesn't seem quite right, does he still not understand what happened?Or have you been shocked by today's events and haven't reacted yet?

Without revealing the thoughts in his heart, Jianren Qihai listened to the policeman's chatter and introduced the situation again, sighed again, and spoke sincerely.

"...So that's it. Mr. Qihai is the only related person we can find. If you don't adopt this child, then she can only be sent to the orphanage."

In any case, a place like an orphanage cannot be said to be suitable.

"Is it just me?"

The sinking tone did not have the doubts that should be in the interrogative sentence. Jianren Qihai glanced at Sanyuankui again from the corner of his eyes, and his heart became more and more complicated.

At the beginning, he didn't think too much, he just came here with the mood to solve the trouble as soon as possible, after all, a worker like him who goes to work every day, never had the idea of ​​adopting a child in his life plan items, not to mention that it is not a retirement but a part-time job.

Qihai Jianren's thinking is more realistic.

Children represent troubles, especially children who have not grown up. Whether it is eating, drinking or education, it is not a problem that can be sloppy.And having one more child means that he has to squeeze out time from his busy work to take care of a child. The family may be messed up, and the rhythm of life will be lost because of the other party.

is it possible?Not to mention that he may work overtime at the company until dawn at any time, where will he have the time to take care of the children?

He didn't think he would be a good guardian.

Therefore, although adoption is not possible, if it is sponsored until adulthood, there should be no problem.

Jianren Qihai made up his mind and spoke in a deep voice.

"sorry, I……"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of pattering footsteps came from far to near, and he felt his sleeves being gently pulled by something, like a cat holding up its paws, making people feel no strength, but a sense of presence obvious.

"Excuse me, can I follow you?"

This is... a request?

Being able to say this proves that the other party understands her current situation, but...

Jianren Qihai lowered his head, and what came into view was Sanyuankui who said it was a request, but there was no expression on his delicate face, and he didn't have the slightest sadness that a child should have when his parents passed away suddenly. A trace appeared in the dark eyes.

This is very wrong.

he thinks.

Sometimes, the child's abnormality is also related to the curse spirit, but he did not find the curse spirit beside the other party, nor did he feel that the other party possessed the spell power.

Therefore, it was simply related to his cousin's family who had also passed away.

It's hard to say whether the situation is simpler or more troublesome, but no matter what, I still have no way to adopt the other party.

"Sorry, my job doesn't allow you to be well taken care of by me."

Not just because the other party is a child, Qihai Jianren squatted down, making himself and Sanyuankui almost the same height, and trying to explain the reason for the rejection with a simple description.

"My work is so busy that I can't even go home sometimes, and I can't even take care of you three meals a day."

Although the other option is not very good, but with his support, it is much better than being a single social animal with him. Although I always think about the standard off-duty time of 19 o'clock, I can extend my work due to some accidents Time is always inevitable.

"……Oh."

After getting the reply, Sanyuankui was not surprised. She didn't intend to say anything more, but just nodded to Jianren Qihai, then turned around and sat back to her original seat without hesitation.

Did this give up?

Jianren Qihai was very surprised. He was even ready to talk to the other party for a while. After all, he couldn't persuade children like he was talking to customers.

As a result, the child, who seemed to be very difficult to deal with, gave up directly.

It was as if he knew the result a long time ago, and even asking this question seemed to be just a casual sentence. At the moment when he got a negative answer, he let go of his hand without any surprise, which made people breathe a sigh of relief At the same time, a subtle sense of guilt arose.

But it is really impossible for him to adopt a child.

Jianren Qihai stood up, took a last look at Sanyuankui, and continued to negotiate with the police.And Sanyuankui just quietly fiddled with the blue candy paper, trying to fold it into a thousand paper cranes, not in a hurry.

The system, on the other hand, was about to slap the table and be furious, wishing he could grab Jianren Qihai by the collar and shake it vigorously.

It's too outrageous to reject such a lovely host as myself!Look, look at this beautiful little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, do you have no heart?

You are not hungry!You are not as good as a beast!

[Host don't be afraid, I will help you find a way! 】

It was like this at the beginning, but after today I have to call and cannot speak, how difficult it is for the host! (shock——)

【It's ok. 】

Sanyuankui continued her actions and briefly replied to the system in her heart.

【As long as you like it. 】

As long as she likes the mission target enough, she can use her ability to "complete the mission" when the other party has an accident. This is also the foundation of the system's confidence in her.

Even if you can't live in the other party's house, you can still observe secretly. Anyway, as long as the conditions are met, there will be no problem. Living together is just more convenient to increase the favorability.

From the time she saw the other party, she had already felt that the other party would not live with her.

With a clear plan in mind, Sanyuankui stopped paying attention to other things and was extremely quiet.

When Qihai Jianren and the police officer finished handing over and looked at her again, she was still in the same position, and she didn't even move her position a little.

It's more like a doll, and it's still the kind that is placed in the shop window, motionless, and so delicate that people can't help but pay attention to it...

What are you thinking?

Jianren Qihai let out a breath, and drove out the inexplicable strange thoughts in his mind.

"three……"

He came to the other party's side, thinking that he was the only remaining close relative of the other party, after a pause, he chose a more intimate name.

"sunflower."

He sat right beside her and continued to speak.

"Now I'm going to tell you about what's next for you..."

"One is that I become your guardian, but I don't recommend this one, because I don't have any experience with children, and I often work overtime or even stay at the company all night when I am busy with work, so I can't take good care of you."

It is impossible to let an eleven or twelve-year-old girl live by herself.

Qihai Jianren thought.

This is something normal and reliable people would never do. Even though 12 years old is not the age to know everything, it is definitely not the age to support themselves.

Even the other party seems to be the worrying type.

He picked up a simple one, and roughly explained the other party's upcoming things like a list one by one.

"The second is the orphanage, where there will be many children similar to you, and I will support you until you reach adulthood. Your home will not disappear, but will be reserved for you, and you can get it after you... 16 years old Key, I suggest you choose this one, it will be much better than the first one."

Be short, clear, and understandable.

Even Sanyuankui, who has never experienced this at all, can hear it very clearly, but the serious tone and the blue color that is now glowing due to overtime and lack of sleep make him look like he is not kindly exhorting, but more like in the dark. Lecture with a straight face.

Listening to the long-lost nagging, Sanyuankui subconsciously remembered the fear of being nagged by Kusanagi at home, subconsciously straightened her chest and pretended to listen carefully.

Although Zun will not drive Anna and himself out, it is not wrong to learn a little more.

Well, that's right!It's definitely not because the other party will quickly finish talking like this every time!

"...In short, that's it."

Jianren Qihai, who tried to speak as concisely as possible, finished his instructions in a short while. Seeing that although Sanyuankui still had no expression, but his body was tense like a rabbit that would jump up in the next second, he couldn't help but make up for it. One sentence.

"Do you understand? If it's not clear, I can say it again."

After all, she is still a little girl, and such a thing happened, so she should be more patient.

Is that okay again?

Sanyuankui nodded quickly, her golden waist-length hair swaying with the movement, earnestly assuring.

"I understand."

In the end, as if to strengthen his credibility, he repeated his words.

"I really understand."

Live on, then secretly follow and observe to improve the goodwill, and finally complete the task on behalf of the dead.

She really understands!

Jianren Qihai, who had no idea what the other party was up to, only thought of Sanyuankui as really clear.

"This is my phone number, if there is anything urgent, you can call me."

He took out a pen and paper, wrote down a series of phone numbers and handed them to the other party.

"Next, I will go through the formalities as soon as possible, you..."

He thought of the cases that had already been solved, and his voice became a little quieter.

"Is there anything you want to bring? At home."

at home?Not barbara, certainly not.

Sanyuankui shook her head without hesitation.

"Is that so?"

There is no "home" that wants to have anything, from the beginning to the present, the abnormality visible to the naked eye...

"I see."

Jianren Qihai took a deep look at the child in front of him, and thought about other things in his heart.

I have detailed information about my cousin's family, do you want...to find out more?
