Chapter 52
Arriving at the hotel without notifying Chu Feng Yi in advance, three rooms were arranged to accommodate potential companions. Although Xu Lin felt that one room could easily fit five or six people, Chu Feng Yi didnt have to share a room with her sister.
The room was spacious, around 70 to 80 square metres, giving off an extravagant feeling in terms of decor and facilities. The bed is soft; Mom always says she likes sleeping on a hard bed, but who wouldnt want to lie on a bed like this? Xu Lin lay on the bed, reminiscing about a phrase his father said before his rebirth.
Son, when the money comes in, Ill get us a memory foam mattress. Ive slept on a hardboard bed for decades; I dont know what a soft bed feels like. It must be more comfortable than a sofa.
At that time, Xu Lin felt a bit uncomfortable hearing this, but lying on the soft mattress now, he reached out and clenched his fist. Just wait; this time, we wont have to wait for relocation. Everything will come, and everything will be better!
As he thought about this, his phone buzzed with a message from Ji Yun.
Class Monitor Ji: Are you on leave?
Xu Lin: Yes, no classes tomorrow. How did you know?
Class Monitor Ji: Our homeroom teacher told me. He gave me some papers to grade and mentioned it.
Xu Lin: Oh, Class Monitor Ji, so concerned about me~
Class Monitor Ji: Hmm.
Xu Lin couldnt help but smile. Class Monitor, want to be my girlfriend?
Class Monitor Ji: Im concerned about your grades.
Alright, what are you up to?
Just some minor matters. I took a trip to Jinling with your beloved big star. Do you want anything?
No, dont spend money recklessly. Take care of yourself; dont catch a cold again.
Okay.
Xu Lin replied, maintaining a smile at Class Monitor Jis caring demeanor. After putting down his phone, he took a shower, admired his toned muscles, and thought that exercising was indeed good for the body.
Coming out of the bath, he prepared to grab a bottle of free ice-cold cola to refresh himself when he heard a knock on the door. He hurriedly put on his coat and pants. Looking through the peephole, he didnt see anything, and he suddenly felt a bit cold. Damn, could it be a supernatural event? But then he thought it was unlikely. The outside lights were on, and next door were Chu Qingchan and Chu Fengyi. At around 8 oclock, nobody could withstand a punch.
He leisurely opened the door, only to see a 4- or 5-year-old girl standing there holding a teddy bear. She was wearing a beautiful floral dress, and her big, watery eyes looked at him, appearing pitiful.
Little girl, are you lost?
Are you my daddy?
When did you become a daddy? A voice came from the side, and Chu Fengyi appeared, holding a lollipop in her mouth.
This child suddenly appeared; where are your family members?
Are you my daddy? She gripped the teddy bears ears with her small hands, as if she were about to cry.
No, who is your mommy then?
My mommy is my mommy.
Are you lost? Xu Lin squatted down, asking gently.
My mommy lives here; why isnt she here?
Is this 909? Are you sure about this number? Xu Lin had encountered lost children before, many of whom simply confused the locations.
909, it seems like She looked at the door number, cutely tilting her head, seemingly pondering.
It seems to be 60. I went the wrong way. The little girl embarrassedly lowered her head.
Let this sister take you back.
Okay. She nodded, looking at Chu Feng Yi, then glanced at the lollipop in her mouth.
Im not going; you go by yourself; I still need to shower.
Chu Fengyi, do me a favour; I just showered, and I only put on the outer clothes when I opened the door. Do you think I can run around? Ill catch a cold!
Ugh, Ill take her downstairs.
Okay, Ill go change clothes, thank you.
After saying that, he greeted the little girl and entered the room. The little girl blinked her big eyes, looking at Chu Feng Yi.
Chufengyi frowned slightly. I really dont know how to deal with children. She forced a smile and said, Lets go, sis Ill take you to find your mommy.
Okay.
A few minutes later, Xu Lin changed into his clothes, wondering if Chu Feng Yi had returned. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Chu Feng Yi holding the little girl, both with a lollipop, looking cute, but he immediately reacted. Why didnt you send her back?
There is no one in 606.
Then go downstairs, find the front desk or other staff, and let them help.
Too much trouble. You go; youve changed clothes anyway.
Saying this, she handed the little girl to him, and Xu Lin took the child.
Uncle, Sis has such great strength. She just threw me up high.
Chu Fengyi, dont do such dangerous things, okay?
Xulin looked at Chu Fengyi, who shrugged and walked into her own room.
Hey, little guy, whats your name?
My name is Shaoyao.
Shaoyao? Where did your mom go?
I dont know.
Then how did you end up wandering around alone?
My mom said she went out to buy something, but she hasnt come back for a long time, so I came out to find her.
Well, let me take you downstairs to find your mom.
Okay.
Mm.
Xu Lin carried the little girl towards the elevator, intending to first go to the lobby, find a staff member, and explain the situation.
But then he remembered he had something he hadnt used yet, which was the tracking dust he bought the first time in the system shop. It happened to be unused, so he could use it to see where her mother is, right?
He casually clicked on the item, and a wisp of white smoke drifted out from his hand, extending outward. Xu Lin followed along with the girl.
Eventually, they stopped in front of the elevator. The direction of the smoke seemed to float from bottom to top, and finally it was facing the elevator. The elevator also coincidentally opened at that moment.
A woman wearing a black fishtail skirt came out. Xu Lin was stunned for a moment, not just because of her appearance but also because of her figure.
This is too much; even Chu Qingchan doesnt have such a mature figure.
Chu Qingchan already has a good figure, but this woman is just extraordinary! Her appearance isnt bad eithernot as good as Chu Qingchans, but at least an 8 according to the system.
The main thing is her confident stride, exuding an aura of superiority, or rather, the kind of aura rich people exude, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Give her to me. The other party said it coldly and immediately stepped forward to hug Shaoyao. Xu Lin quickly took a step back.
Is she your mother?
What? The girl raised her head from his shoulder, turned her head, and saw the other person.
Mommy? Mommy! Where did you go?
Shaoyao, Ive told you several times: stay in the room and dont run around!
I wont do it next time The little girls eyes were wet, and she was about to cry.
Sir, let her down. Shes old enough to walk on her own. She took a deep breath and nodded slightly at him.
Sorry, I just got back and saw she wasnt in the room, so I checked the surveillance and saw you carrying her. I got a little anxious just now.
But I didnt misunderstand you for some kind of child scammer. In the surveillance, I saw your friend, the foreign girl, taking her to my door.
Its okay; its normal for parents to worry about their children. Xu Lin quickly said, then squatted down and let the little girl down, but the little girl grabbed his collar and didnt move.
Mommy, will you take me out to play?
I still have things to do. Ill take you out to play when we go back to Yanjing, okay?
Then Ill play with Uncle. You come to pick me up in the evening.
Come down here! Otherwise, I wont let you eat sweets or even lollipops.
In an instant, the little girls eyes widened again, and she growled softly. The little girl buried her head in Xu Lins arms and began to sob.
Ah, Mommy said she wouldnt let me stay with you again Mommy only knows how to scold me!
The woman frowned and reached out to pull her over, but she held onto his collar tightly, crying non-stop.
Im not going back with you.
She was afraid of hurting the child, so she let go of her arm and sighed, and her phone rang at the same time. She hurriedly walked to the side to answer the phone, came back after half a minute, and looked apologetically at him.
Sorry, could you look after her for a while? I have something to do; Ill come to pick her up in a little over half an hour.
Okay. Xu Lin glanced at the girl in his arms, thinking of refusing, but this girl might not want to leave either.
Thank you so much for your trouble.
Its okay; you go ahead.
Alright, Ill be back on time. Youre in room 909, right?
Yes.
Thank you; heres my business card. Just give me a call if you need anything. After saying that, she turned and hurried into the elevator.
Xu Lin watched the elevator doors close and patted the little girls back. Stop crying; you accidentally got the lollipop stuck in your throat.
Uncle, can you be my daddy?
Youre asking me to be your daddy too quickly! Im only 17; its better to call me brother.
Brother!
Hearing the girls clear voice, Xu Lin suddenly felt his heart sweeten. He had wanted a sister so much back then! Now that he has a cheap little sister, it could be considered fulfilling his wish.
