There was a person standing under the streetlight in front of him, with long hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a simple long-sleeved dress, and carrying a shoulder bag.

She stood under the streetlight, looking at the small building opposite, as if she was lost in thought.

Lin Lian and the others had just turned the corner, and the small building where she lived also appeared in their eyes.

Similarly, the young girl standing opposite the small building also fell into his eyes.

Lin Lian looked at the man standing under the street lamp with a slightly startled expression.

Zhang Xixi.

It's her.

He didn't hear the sound. Zhang Qianqian was immersed in her own thoughts and looked at the small building not knowing what she was thinking.

"Then what are you doing, little girl, standing there this late at night?"

"Running away from home?"

Hou Shuyu didn't know Zhang Qianqian, but she was a little worried when she saw a young girl standing outside in the middle of the night.

Lin Lian said: "I know him."

"ah?"

Hou Shuyu turned her head to look at Lin Lian for a moment, and Hai Manzhi's gaze also fell from the girl's face to Lin Lian's face.

She actually probably saw something.

Lin Lian said: "This is a kid I met before. It's okay. I'll send you in first. It's cold outside."

Lin Lian led the two of them to the courtyard gate, opened the door, and led Hou Shuyu and Hai Manzhi in.

"You guys sit down for a while and I'll go see the child."

He put away his luggage and poured two cups of scented tea for the two of them.

Hou Shuyu stood in the living room, looking at everything warmly decorated here. When she heard Lin Lian's words, she waved to her: "You go and don't worry about us."

A smile appeared on Lin Lian's face: "Okay."

She looked at Hai Manzhi, who said gently: "Go ahead, I'll go up and see Coco. Is she in the bedroom upstairs?"

"Well, it's the first one on the left in the corridor."

Hai Manzhi nodded and went upstairs with the scented tea.

Lin Lian went out and came to Zhang Qianqian.

When Lin Lian brought Hou Shuyu and Hai Manzhi here, Zhang Qianqian came back to her senses.

She saw a few people but didn't come over, just like a stranger looking at everything here.

It seems like everything here has nothing to do with her.

Even now, with Lin Lian standing in front of her, her expression had not changed.

However, she spoke up: "I followed you here. After I went back, I sat for a while and then came out. I don't know how I ended up here with you."

She looked at Lin Lian and said it directly, without any concealment.

Lin Lian looked at her, her face looked a little cold, without the liveliness at the beginning, and she became calm.

Feelings are cold and weak.

"Have you had dinner?"

Zhang Qianqian paused and looked into Lin Liang's eyes. They were gentle and seemed to be warm under the light of the street lamp. Her subconscious defenses gradually relaxed: "No."

Lin Lian's mouth curved slightly: "I made dinner, there was quite a bit."

Zhang Qianxi said nothing.

Lin Lian smiled slightly and turned back.

After taking two steps, she heard no sound behind her. She turned around and looked at the person still standing there: "Aren't you hungry?"

Zhang Qianqian's grip on her shoulder bag seemed a little tight.

But soon, she let go and walked over.

Lin Lian smiled.

"This place is nice. The decoration is simple and warm. I want to live here forever." Hou Shuyu wandered around by herself. When she heard the sound, she looked over and said with great satisfaction.

Lin Lian walked in: "It's okay, you can stay here forever."

"That's good, I'll stay here until I don't want to stay anymore and then leave."

Lin Lian just laughed at Hou Shuyu and said, "Okay."

"Go and wash your hands, I'll tell everyone to eat."

After saying that, he pointed to the bathroom to Zhang Qianqian: "That's the bathroom."

"Um."

Zhang Qianxi went directly to the bathroom.

Hou Shuyu looked at Zhang Qianqian, followed Zhang Qianqian to the bathroom, and came to Lin Lian: "Who is that child?"

Lin Lian said: "Her parents are gone, and now she is alone."

Hou Shuyu's face suddenly showed sympathy: "What a poor child."

As he said something, he thought of something and looked towards Lin Lian.

Lin Lian is also a poor child.

"I'll call Aunt Hai. You sit down for a while. Aunt Hai will eat when she comes down."

"OK!"

Hou Shuyu readily agreed, and Lin Liang went upstairs.

Hai Manzhi was not as noisy as Hou Shuyu. She sat in front of the bed and looked at the little girl sleeping sweetly on the bed. She was very quiet.

When Lin Lian came in, he saw Zhan Keke's face looking lovingly at him under a warm lamp.

This face always makes people feel relaxed, as if looking at her, it seems that no matter what happens in the world, it doesn't matter.

Lin Lian walked over quietly and looked at the little girl who didn't even know she was being watched.

Her face is red, her eyelashes are long, her little mouth is closed, and she looks particularly cute when sleeping.

The voice couldn't help but be soft: "Aunt Hai, let's go downstairs to eat first."

Hai Manzhi withdrew his gaze from Zhan Keke's face, tucked the corners of the quilt for her, stood up, and whispered: "Let's go."

The two left the bedroom and closed the door.

Downstairs, Hou Shuyu went to the bathroom.

Zhang Qianxi is inside.

Because of what Lin Lian said to her, Hou Shuyu couldn't help but feel pity when she looked at Zhang Qianqian: "My child, where do you live?"

Zhang Qianqian washed her hands and took the paper towel next to her to dry the water droplets on her hands.

When she heard Hou Shuyu's words, she didn't answer.

It's like he didn't hear it.

Hou Shuyu looked at her cold face and said nothing more.

Such children are very defensive, she can understand.

Zhang Qianqian walked out and Hou Shuyu turned on the faucet.

Lin Lian and Hai Manzhi came downstairs.

Zhang Qianxi stood in the middle of the living room, still carrying her shoulder bag, looking at everything here.

She is not restrained, she is considering.

Hearing the sound, she looked upstairs.

Lin Lian said: "Sit down first."

Zhang Qianqian didn't move, she stood there waiting.

Waiting for the forest curtain to come down.

Hai Manzhi was walking beside Lin Lian. She glanced at Zhang Qianqian and then stopped looking at her. Her eyes turned to Hou Shuyu who came out of the bathroom.

Hou Shuyu saw her and came over immediately: "How is it? Is the little girl still asleep?"

Hai Manzhi walked over and said with a smile: "She is asleep, sleeping soundly."

"Haha, that little girl, I really want to tease her."

"You, wait until tomorrow."

As the two of them talked, Lin Lian came to Zhang Qianqian and looked at the bag that Zhang Qianqian always carried on her shoulders: "Put down the bag first, it's very safe here."
