Chapter 614: So Adorable
Many of the people queuing to buy popcorn and beverages were Little Cis. Most of them were young girls. Girls liked adorable things, so upon seeing how adorable the child was, they could not help talking to him. “Where’s your guardian, little one? Why are you alone?”
What was wrong with the adults of his family? They had even asked a child to queue up. What if such an adorable child was deceived?
“My uncle went to the washroom. He’ll be back soon.” Xiaoqi looked at the young lady politely. His tender voice was so adorable that one’s heart melted.
The ladies around him knew each other, and their faces blushed due to the child’s cuteness. Some of the ladies even gave him candy. The candy was custom-made and had been prepared to be distributed among the Ci Sisters. Huo Ci’s photo was on it, and it had been carefully made.
“Sister, I’m sorry. Mommy says…” Xiaoqi was about to say no, as his mother had said that he could not take things from other people. When he looked down and saw Grandpa’s photo on the piece of paper, he hurriedly caught it and thanked her politely. “Thank you, Sister.”
There were many young ladies there who were holding Grandpa’s photos. He knew that these sisters were Grandpa’s fans.
“I didn’t poison the candy!” The young lady unwrapped a piece of candy and put it in her mouth. “It’s milk candy. It’s delicious.”
Xiaoqi had yet to eat it. His mother had said that he could not eat anything. The last time Grandpa had taken him to a bar, a bad man had given him candy to trick him, but Uncle Jun had saved him. He thus smiled. “I don’t like candy.”
Another girl squatted in front of him and looked at the alert child. She then pointed at the candy. “Little one, if you don’t like candy, why are you holding it?”
Xiaoqi pointed at Huo Ci seriously.
The girl beside him smiled. “You like Huo Ci, right? Little one, you must be the youngest Little Ci here today.”
Oh my!
How adorable!
How adorable!
The child was actually a Little Ci!
Xiaoqi nodded. He liked Grandpa a lot. When he saw a piece of candy paper beside his feet, he bent down to pick it up and put it away carefully.
This unintentional action made the surrounding Little Cis laugh nonstop. Oh my, whose kid was this? If no one recognized it, then it must have been stolen!
The Little Cis in front of him asked him to order food first, but he rejected them sternly. He said that there was a first-come-first-served rule about lines, causing the hearts of the unmarried Little Cis to explode. They wanted to have a child immediately. They were adorable and sensible. Who could resist that?
The Little Cis beside him helped him buy tickets and choose seats. He completed the task Grandpa had a.s.signed to him smoothly.
In the end, he carried a big bucket of popcorn in his left hand and a cup of c.o.ke and coffee in his right hand. The c.o.ke was his, and the coffee was Grandpa’s.
The movie was already starting, and the people who had come to watch it entered one after another. A few young ladies who were afraid that Xiaoqi would be deceived by bad people took him to the place where he had arranged to meet his family. They informed the waiter at the opposite counter and asked him to watch the kid before leaving.
Xiaoqi waited for Grandpa obediently in that spot. When he turned around, he saw a familiar figure zoom past the elevator. His face changed instantly as he chased after him and shouted in a pitiful, fl.u.s.tered voice, “Great Uncle!”
Before he could finish speaking, his eyes reddened. Tears welled up in his eyes as he pursed his lips tightly, trying his best not to cry. Had Grandpa gone downstairs? Had Grandpa abandoned him?
