Under the shadow

The weather in March has gradually faded from the cold in winter, the temperature is gradually warming up, and there is a little vitality that can only be seen in spring.

In the conference room of the finance department on the 21st floor of Fengluan City Center A, Ji Huanian, dressed in a dark blue work suit, sat in front of everyone and frowned and rubbed his temples. He looked a little cold and gloomy, looking at the chaos in front of him. He sighed helplessly, but when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by his cell phone's ringtone inappropriately.

There was a series of unfamiliar numbers on the screen, which Ji Huanian didn't recognize, so out of prudence, he stood up and left an apology, then walked out of the meeting room and pressed the answer button, "Hello? Who is it?"

"Hello ma'am, are you from Qin Si's family?"

The moment he heard Qin Si's name, Ji Huanian subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, but the next sentence of the person on the phone made Ji Huanian's already smoothed brows frowned again, "I am, are you?"

"I'm the class teacher of classmate Qin Si. Something happened to the school. Would it be convenient for you to come over now?"

"What's wrong with Ah Si?" The word "accident" made Ji Huanian's brows twitch, and his tone unconsciously became a little flustered. He clenched the phone in his hand and asked, "Are you injured? Or are you sick?"

"That...Qin Si should be fine now, you should come here for a while"

"it is good"

should?Hearing that Ji Huanian's brows were even twisted into Sichuan characters, what do you mean it should be fine, is this really a teacher?However, Ji Huanian didn't continue to embarrass the woman on the other side of the phone. After a simple response, he hung up the phone and turned back to the conference room.

After going in to call off the meeting, Ji Huanian drove to the school where Qin Si is located—South District No. [-] Middle School

When entering the office of the second grade group, Ji Huanian stood still at the door, glanced indifferently, and soon she saw her little girl leaning against a female teacher's desk with her arms around her. chest, and the fat school uniform jacket was casually draped over the shoulders.

The afternoon sun was not as glaring as it was in the afternoon. The soft light shone through the window on the girl's thin side face, adding a touch of warmth to the expression on her face.

She is still too thin. This was Ji Huanian's first feeling when he saw Qin Si standing at the door. Although Qin Si gradually improved a lot under his influence after getting to know him, Nan Nan The light blue school uniform of District No. [-] Middle School still looks too bulky on Qin Si's body.

'Du, Du, Du' raised his hand and knocked on the door, Ji Huanian stepped up to his little girl, gathered the coat for her, accidentally saw the short-sleeved T-shirt under her coat and wrinkled it Eyebrow, the voice is a little displeased, "Put on your coat, why don't you change into short sleeves in summer?"

Qin Si raised his head subconsciously when he heard the sound of the door, and watched the familiar figure gradually approaching him. For a moment, his nose felt a little sour. Even Qin Si himself didn't know why he suddenly felt wronged the moment he saw Ji Huanian , What a rebellious person he was in front of the teacher before.

Allowing the person in front of him to hold his coat for him, and listening to the reprimand that fell into his ears, which didn't feel very fierce, the corner of Qin Si's mouth raised an imperceptible arc, and the surprise and dependence in his eyes made it impossible to ignore.

"Isn't it cold?" He put his arms around Ji Huanian's slender waist, Qin Si buried his head in Ji Huanian's neck and rubbed it, his voice was muffled with a little grievance, "It's really not me fault"

It is rare for the little wolf dog to show such a cute look in front of him at this moment and take the initiative to hide in his arms once. Ji Huanian couldn't help but feel that his little girl was a little funny at this time, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed Qin Si's short hair before he was relieved She asked her teacher without slowing down, "Is that Teacher Lu? What's wrong with Qin Si in our family?"

Hearing this, the long-haired woman sitting on the office chair withdrew her nymphomaniac gaze at Ji Huanian, and coughed twice in disguise, "Hey, that's the alley near the school where classmate Qin Si was after school yesterday." There was a group fight with a few senior classmates in the school" Paused, seeing Ji Huanian's face seemed to be completely ignorant, the female teacher's face was a little angry "The injury on the child's face is so obvious, why are you a parent?" "

"I don't live with her, you can't blame her, and she..."

Seeing that the teacher's anger spread to Ji Huanian, Qin Si's mindless calf protection problem erupted without warning, and he retreated from Ji Huanian's arms and retorted angrily, which made Ji Huanian behind him feel a little nervous for a while. I can't laugh or cry.

Reaching out to hold Qin Si's shoulder and turning her around, Ji Huanian carefully inspected the few bruises on the girl's face that were not obvious, after thinking for a while, he raised his hand and took off the hairband on the girl's head. The bloody gauze appeared in front of Ji Huanian's eyes, and the bright red also hurt Ji Huanian's eyes.

"Why do you still wear a headband when you are injured? It is not conducive to the recovery of the wound, don't you know? And these bruises, do you think I can't see them if you cover them with concealer?" Interrupting Qin Si, Ji Hua young caressed Looking at Qin Si's side face with less bruises, he reprimanded the indifferent Qin Si in front of him, "Why did you fight?"

"They were the ones who blocked the two little ones from the elementary school first. I went to rescue them, but who knew that the two little ones had run away early and disappeared after the fight." Tilting his head to avoid Ji Huanian's hand, Qin Si He raised his head deliberately not to look into Ji Huanian's eyes, and explained indifferently, but his voice was unconsciously tinged with tears, "If you want to punish, punish him, anyway, I won't apologize, I'm right"

"Hey, you kid, it's fine if you apologize, you insist..." Qin Si's class teacher got up and pulled Qin Si's clothes, feeling a little helpless, but was silenced by the side. Ji Huanian interrupted aloud, "Mr. Lu, you must pay attention to evidence in everything. What is the professional term? Oh yes, whoever advocates who will provide evidence. Although our Qin Si is not a top-notch child, I myself I don’t think it’s too bad, she’s also the sister I hold in my hand, we can’t bear such a big hat.”

Ji Huanian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp eyes fell on the teacher named Lu Li, exuding the coercion of a superior person that only usually exists in the company "That alley is a dead end, and the only exit is still there. There are cameras under the jurisdiction of the school, so I don’t need to remind you of the rest.”

After saying that, he turned around and pulled Qin Si, who was standing aside with his head bowed, to his side and softly coaxed the little girl with red eyes in front of him, "Ah Si, don't be afraid, sister is here, shall we go home now? Hmm?"

Seeing the other party's tone of coaxing children again, although Qin Si was a little speechless, his face and ears were honestly blushing gradually, and finally nodded embarrassingly, and let Ji Huanian lead him to the door .

"Oh, by the way, I hope to hear the school's results within 3 working days, otherwise I don't mind letting the police intervene in such a small matter. After all, everyone said that it is difficult to find the police. Our baby can't be left behind for no reason. Punishment, teacher, do you think so?"

"Yes, yes, what, I'll talk to the director now, and then Qin Si will rest at home for a few days and take care of his injuries."

After leaving the school, Ji Huanian drove Qin Si to a nearby hospital to change her dressing. Looking at the nearly 5 cm gash on her forehead that was still oozing blood, Ji Huanian turned around and stopped looking directly at her. Some sore eye sockets.

"Okay, try not to get water on the wound these few days, and eat lightly, and the stitches will be removed in 5 days." The doctor got up and told the two of them, and then opened the door to leave, leaving behind a wide-eyed stare. The two were silent for a while in the treatment room.

After a long while, Ji Huanian looked at Qin Si who was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed with his head bowed and feeling aggrieved. He had no choice but to soften his voice and break the silence between the two of them, "Let's go, Qin Si, I'm going home."

Taking Qin Si back to his villa, Ji Huanian poked the shoulder of Qin Si who had been swaying behind him in the house, gritted his teeth deliberately and said, "Isn't it quite capable? How come I am here now You look aggrieved, and those who don’t know think I’ve done something to you.”

"Aren't I afraid that you will be angry?" The muffled voice came to his ears, the tone was low and a little cautious, which made Ji Huanian's heart soften all of a sudden. comfort.

"Heh~ well, I didn't say you were wrong, and having said that, I'm actually quite happy, Ah Si." He reached out and rubbed his child's head, and Ji Huanian's tone had a gentle smile, It is different from the usual coldness towards outsiders, "Because, now you really regard me as your sister."

Looking into Qin Si's eyes, Ji Huanian saw the surprise, and didn't explain too much, but once again told Qin Si to pay attention to his own safety and not to get hurt again.

And Qin Si, who had always been rebellious, rarely lowered his head obediently and listened to Ji Huanian's tireless instructions, without interrupting him quietly, and the smile on his lips was obvious and could not be concealed.

Maybe it's because Ji Huanian's trust and gentleness soothed my fearful and flustered heart today. It was a rare day for Qin Si to bring the child's unreasonable troubles to the extreme in front of Ji Huanian, and he was soft-hearted. After leaving Ji Huanian's bed, he refused to go back to his guest bedroom, but Ji Huanian smiled and sat on the edge of the bed to continue the work he had missed in the afternoon, looking at Qin Si, who was rolling childishly on the bed, from the corner of his eyes, full of gentle pampering , and finally acquiesced to her request.

The night outside the window gradually became thicker, and the silvery-white moonlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the two people who were embracing and sleeping on the bed. In the darkness, Qin Si lightly sniffed the scent that belonged to Ji Huanian beside him, and greeted her with satisfaction. Rubbing again in the depths of her embrace, softly:

"Ji Huanian, thank you"

"A Si, what's your name?"

"Sister~"

"That's good"

"Then I want my sister to hug me"

"You~ child"

"Did the sister agree?"

"Hehe~ I agree, good boy"
