"Mom, can Xiaoxiao help you deliver the fruit?" Three-year-old Tang Xiaoxiao was holding a doll in her arms, her hair tied in pigtails, and wearing a pure white princess dress that covered her knees, leaving only her tiny feet visible. Seeing that Mama Tang had already cut the fruit, she quickly volunteered.
Eh?
Mom Tang put the fruit into the plate, her hand paused slightly, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled inside.
How did the little guy suddenly become so proactive?
Before, it was impossible to get them to come.
However, seeing her daughter being so proactive for once, Mom Tang certainly wouldn't refuse. Without thinking much, she nodded in agreement, then handed the plate to Tang Xiaoxiao, not forgetting to remind her, "Be careful on the way." Although it's just a few steps away, after all, she's still a child.
After receiving the fruit platter, Tang Xiaoxiao's originally bright eyes became even more radiant, and her face was filled with a warm smile, looking carefree and happy.
Actually, as early as yesterday when the new neighbor just moved in, Tang Xiaoxiao had already noticed that handsome young man. She had been secretly planning how to persuade Tang Mama to visit, and now that the opportunity has come, she naturally feels very happy inside.
"Mm!" Hearing Mama Tang's instructions, Tang Xiaoxiao quickly replied with a sweet, childish "Mm," not forgetting to nod vigorously. After giving Mama Tang a sweet smile, she turned and left, leaving only her back to her.
Why is the little guy in such a hurry? Mom Tang shook her head in slight confusion but eventually continued tidying up the kitchen.
As soon as Tang Xiaoxiao stepped out, she headed straight to the new neighbor's house.
The two families lived right next to each other, so there was no need to worry about safety issues. Tang Xiaoxiao stood on tiptoe, reached out to ring the doorbell, and waited for the person inside to come out and open the door.
Hey.
I'm about to see that guy from yesterday.
About half a moment later, the door was opened, revealing a face that, despite its youth, still bore a hint of handsomeness.
Tang Xiaoxiao saw the young man holding the door frame with one hand and his other hand in his pocket. His calm gaze lightly swept across her cheek and quickly moved away, as if waiting for her to explain her purpose.
So handsome!
He is really handsome.
Perhaps because she had been daydreaming for a while, by the time Tang Xiaoxiao came to her senses, the young boy's face had already shown a hint of impatience, as if he no longer wanted to pay attention to her.
However, being just a three-year-old little girl, Tang Xiaoxiao obviously couldn't understand the meaning behind the expression on the young boy's face. She smiled foolishly, couldn't help but swallow, and then said, "Big brother~"
Tang Xiaoxiao's voice already had a crisp, childlike quality, and now that she's in a good mood, it sounds even more babyish, making people unable to resist wanting to pamper and love her.
However, this is of no use to the young boy.
He was already a bit impatient, and after watching Tang Xiaoxiao giggle for a long time, he naturally couldn't stand it. So, the moment Tang Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, he stepped forward and closed the door first.
Perhaps because of the slight force used, the sound of the door closing completely drowned out Tang Xiaoxiao's sweet voice, as if nothing had just happened. She returned to the living room, sat down, and calmly started doing her summer homework.
Tang Xiaoxiao watched as the door closed again, momentarily lost in thought.
After a moment of delayed reaction, she finally started to understand that something was off. Could it be that the young man didn't like her?
This realization made Tang Xiaoxiao feel a bit off. She remembered what Mama Tang had once told her: Xiaoxiao is so cute, every child will like her.
"Ah~~" Like a wronged little wife, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't think much and just placed the plate of fruit on the ground. Not in a hurry to move elsewhere, she directly started crying at the doorstep of the young boy's house. Her voice was sweet and clear, attracting the attention of many passersby.
After all, it's right at their doorstep, so the people inside can naturally hear the crying.
Mom Lu had already prepared lunch and was just about to call Lu Yuanqiao, who was doing homework in the living room, to come eat, when she heard a faint cry from outside the door. She couldn't help but look up in confusion.
At this moment, Lu Yuanqiao had almost finished his homework. Hearing the crying at the door, he immediately thot of the little girl who had just been grinning at him at the entrance, and couldn't help but frown.
Although it was just a slight movement, it was enough for Mom Lu to notice.
Mom Lu glanced at Lu Yuanqiao's expression and guessed what had happened. Her son must have done something to upset the little girl outside, causing her to cry. She immediately shot Lu Yuanqiao an annoyed look and went to open the door.
Uh.
Lu Yuanqiao received Lu Mama's gaze, a bit puzzled, and touched his nose. What does this have to do with him?
Tang Xiaoxiao was crying uncontrollably at the door, her chubby face covered in tears, wet and pitiful, making one unable to resist wanting to show her affection.
As soon as Mom Lu opened the door, she saw Tang Xiaoxiao squatting on the ground, the little one crying her heart out. Her white princess dress was spread out on the floor, and perhaps because she had cried so much, she had even rolled up the hem of her dress to wipe her tears.
This scene is indescribably strange.
But no matter what, he was still an adult. Although he felt shocked deep down, his face soon returned to its usual elegant and composed smile. He gently spoke to comfort Tang Xiaoxiao, "What's wrong, little girl? Did someone bully you?" When the words came out, he actually felt a bit guilty.
Actually, after seeing Mama Lu, Tang Xiaoxiao's crying had already stopped quite a bit, but now being coaxed like this, her little temper flared up.
"Mm." Tang Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes, staring fixedly at Mama Lu with a face full of innocence. Then, without caring about anything else, she directly extended her tiny finger and pointed toward the inside of the house, with a hint of a sob in her voice, "The big brother in there is bullying Xiaoxiao."
This tone, even if it's made up, can make people choose to believe without hesitation.
Actually, Tang Xiaoxiao felt that she hadn't said anything wrong; she had just been bullied.
Uh, is it called Xiao Xiao?
A hint of a smile flashed in Lu Mama's eyes as she followed Tang Xiaoxiao's pointing direction and gently said, "Don't cry, Xiaoxiao. Auntie will help you get back at them, okay?" If she was just saying it casually before, now Lu Mama is genuinely touched by Tang Xiaoxiao.
"Okay!" Getting a satisfactory answer, Tang Xiaoxiao immediately nodded, her face showing a bit more smile, that feeling of having a strong backing.
