Chapter 18
Following behind Xu Ai, Gao Minya, who had been counting the folds on the store manager's light-colored skirt, was thinking, what does a five-year-old boy look like?
According to Gao Minya's experience of being bullied by her nephew and nephew, she has seen little boys in this age group, all of them are little devils.
Curious, destructive, and sometimes cooperating with unreasonable parents, it makes people itch after seeing it.
Of course, because boys at this age don’t have much gender awareness yet, the labeling is not strong, and the parents raise their children carefully, some stretch out their hands to catch bugs, play with mud and climb trees, there are also those who love to cry and squeamish, like Clean and hate noisy, very well-behaved and shy children.
Judging from Lin Jiaxuan's description of Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao should belong to the latter, quiet and elegant, quiet and shy, and needs more patience and gentleness when getting along.
Then, with a flash of inspiration, Gao Minya suddenly raised her head, stared at the backpack that Xu Ai was carrying in her hand, ran two quick steps, walked up to Xu Ai, and asked in a low voice, "The store manager, is the secret to our conquering Qiao Qiao? Playing Barbie with him in a dress?"
Xu Ai: "..."
Reaching out to push away the face in front of him, Xu Ai felt his temples twitching, "I'm not a transvestite, and I don't have a hobby of playing princess dress-up with little boys."
"Although I don't really believe what you said, but the store manager is so good-looking, you can say anything!" Gao Minya muttered, and continued to be her little assistant.
Stopping, turning her head and staring at Gao Minya for three seconds, Xu Ai stretched out her hand and pulled her skirt up, twitching the corners of her mouth and saying nothing.
Anyway, explaining it to someone with a clear mind is just getting darker and darker.
Fortunately, it turns out that Xu Ai's cross-dressing is really necessary.
The address provided by Lin Jiaxuan was a small apartment on the ninth floor. There was only one resident on each floor. When Xu Ai and Gao Minya came out of the elevator, they heard Lin Jiaxuan's trembling voice, "Qiao Qiao is not afraid, mother throws this bottle away. It’s okay to drop it, mom’s Qiao Qiao is not afraid, okay?”
In addition to the rustling of the plastic bottle being squeezed, there was only a suppressed, suppressed, and fearful and repulsive sob that belonged to a child.
Xu Ai and Gao Minya didn't expect to hear this. They haven't decided whether to knock on the door now or wait for a while. After the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Xu Ai suddenly threw the backpack in her hand to Gao Minya. Lowering his body slightly, he caught a small figure running out from the door.
Then he reached out to cover the little boy's eyes, Xu Ai hugged the little boy in his arms tightly, and after gently weighing it, "Qiao Qiao, it doesn't matter if you see it, we are safe now, it's all right, it's all right."
Qiao Qiao, who was hugged by a stranger, couldn't see anything, and struggled for a moment in panic, until Xu Ai repeatedly called his name, the little guy stopped pushing Xu Ai, grabbed the clothes on Xu Ai's shoulders, There is no more movement.
After chasing Qiao Qiao out, Lin Jiaxuan saw Qiao Qiao in Xu Ai's arms. She was relieved and at the same time was a little surprised. Qiao Qiao rarely got close to others. It was the first time she saw Qiao Qiao so obediently staying in the arms of a stranger.
Feeling tears under his palms, Xu Ai did not let go of Qiao Qiao's hand, and made a gesture of reassurance to Lin Jiaxuan before taking Gao Minya in.
Xu Ai originally covered Jojo's eyes with his palms, but when Jojo shed tears, the little guy held them down with both hands, not letting the palms covering his eyes leave, and cried for about 10 minutes. It was only after Xu Ai's shaking that he weighed and shook that he calmed down, and finally cried until he fell asleep.
Before Qiao Qiao cried and fell asleep, the three adults did not speak. It was not until Xu Ai put Qiao Qiao in the bedroom and covered him with a blanket that Xu Ai and Gao Minya learned from Lin Jiaxuan what happened just now.
"Qiao Qiao is afraid of seeing people now, especially adult men, even the male stars who endorse drinks." Lin Jiaxuan buried his face in his palms very haggardly, and wrapped the bottle that scared Qiao Qiao just now with paper After throwing it into the trash can, I turned to look at Xu Ai after the change, and smiled wryly, "It's also fortunate that you changed into a dress today, thank you."
Lin Jiaxuan felt a little guilty. Even Xu Ai noticed that Qiao Qiao was afraid of adult men, so she changed her clothes into women's clothes on purpose. As a mother, she didn't notice it. It was Qiao Qiao who threw away the drink bottle and ran away in fright. I only found this out when I went out.
Gao Minya next to her went over to comfort Lin Jiaxuan, then looked at the skirt on Xu Ai's body in admiration, and after offering her knees for the store manager's foresight, she looked in the direction of Qiao Qiao's bedroom, "The store manager, Qiao Qiao was fine just now. Bar?"
Crying is originally a way for children to release their emotions, but like Qiao Qiao's crying without saying a word just now, it makes people worry.
"Qiao Qiao should still be afraid of the memory of being locked up at that time. Covering his eyes can only relax him temporarily. When Qiao Qiao wakes up, we have to find a way." Xu Ai didn't think that Qiao Qiao just now It is to be close to yourself. Children are young, and if they encounter psychological trauma, it is more difficult to heal than adults.
Threatened by his father and kindergarten teacher and locked in a dark room, this is almost a nightmare for the sensitive and introverted Qiao Qiao. Those psychologists who tried to approach and enlighten Qiao Qiao before only need to touch For this memory of Qiao Qiao, he will encounter fierce resistance from Qiao Qiao, and there is almost no way to continue the psychological counseling.
Xu Ai and Gao Minya just came here by chance, just when they met Qiao Qiao in a panic, they hugged Qiao Qiao slightly forcefully, telling him that it doesn't matter if he sees it, don't be afraid, give him a tight hug and warmth, let him Jojo is not alone in the dark.
However, it is estimated that when Qiao Qiao wakes up, he will still resist the approach of others.
"It's already pretty good. Fortunately, Qiao Qiao fell asleep just now. Otherwise, I would still worry about how to let him sleep." Lin Jiaxuan rubbed his forehead, expressing his understanding of Xu Ai's explanation. Ai can be regarded as one of the people that Jojo is not afraid of.
After finally seeing a little hope, Lin Jiaxuan was full of confidence in Xu Ai, and wanted to ask Xu Ai if there was anything she needed to cooperate with, as long as it would make Qiao Qiao better, she would be fine to let her fight tigers with bare hands.
Wait, why fight a tiger with bare hands?
Lin Jiaxuan casually took the ballpoint pen on the table as a hairpin, coiled up his long hair, and before he rolled up his sleeves to show his determination, he heard the doorbell ring.
Originally, the three of them lowered their voices when talking in the living room in order not to wake up Qiao Qiao, but now the doorbell rang suddenly, and the first reaction of the three of them was to see if Qiao Qiao was woken up.
Gao Minya quickly ran to close Qiaoqiao's bedroom door, Lin Jiaxuan went to open the door, and just after opening it, he slammed it shut, Xu Ai and Gao Minya only saw the afterimage of a man being slapped on the face by the door .
"Hiss, Jiajia, open the door, I want to see my son!"
