An Inconspicuous Shooting Star

"Like it, I like Xiaoman's father."

"Brother Cheng Yan."

The little girl was holding Cheng Yan's mobile phone in one hand and still wiping tears on her face with the other hand. Her eyes were red and she walked towards him three steps back and forth.With this reluctance towards the teacher, Cheng Yan didn't know how to comfort him. He couldn't help thinking in his heart, would it be much better if it wasn't for Liang Chenlai.

But without waiting for him to think about it, the little girl stretched out her hand and took his hand, the palm of her hand touched a little bit softly, which made him swallow back the regret.

Cheng Yan is not high, but for the 4-year-old girl, the gap is still a bit bigger.

Fortunately, he walks slowly, so he doesn't have to struggle to follow.

Cheng Yan held her small hand that was less than half a palm, bowed her head and asked her: "What's your name?"

The little girl tilted her head up, her small mouth half-opened, and she looked at Cheng Yan for a while, and then replied: "My name is Huo Xiaoman."

After speaking, he sniffed again, looked down at the road and continued, "My dad said, hiccup, my dad said he wants him to pick me up."

After hearing this, Cheng Yan explained: "Your father, there is something wrong at work, and he really can't get away. He also wants to come to you."

But what about her mother?Cheng Yan thought of it suddenly, but he looked down at the little girl in front of him without mentioning his mother at all, and closed his mouth without asking.

Huo Xiaoman still looked at the road like that, and his little leather shoes stepped on the ground to make a sound. After a while, he said: "Brother, brother, my dad said that you can grow taller if you get more sun."

"Yes," Cheng Yan learned to reply like a child, "How tall is Xiaoman now?"

Huo Xiaoman raised his head and twisted his body as he walked. He looked at Cheng Yan and smiled and said, "I'm growing fast. I'm one meter."

Cheng Yan looked at her smile, squatted down and asked her: "Where does Xiao Man want to go shopping?"

"I want to eat ice cream," Huo Xiaoman stirred his fingers and whispered: "But my father doesn't tell me to eat too much."

"Then you can eat something, then which one do you like to eat?" Cheng Yan asked again.

Huo Xiaoman immediately drew his hand out, drew a circle and said, "That's it, there is a big ball at the door, it's like cream."

Cheng Yan was stunned by this. He thought for a while before remembering that there seemed to be something similar at the entrance of the mall not far from the apartment. He didn't hesitate, and led Huo Xiaoman to walk there slowly.

The weather was so hot that Huo Xiaoman felt unable to walk soon after he left. He took his backpack off, and he wanted to pass it to Cheng Yan with his arms straight.

After Cheng Yan took it, he hung one arm on his body, but did not take two steps. As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Huo Xiaoman looking at him as if a little dissatisfied, and asked him: "Brother, carry it well, Dad said, schoolbag If the two straps are there, they won't get crooked."

Hearing this, Cheng Yan smiled and said, "My brother is an adult, and he won't get crooked anymore."

Huo Xiaoman looked at him suspiciously for a long time, as if he had convinced himself in his heart before letting him go.

The two of them walked for about twenty minutes before arriving in front of the mall.

Cheng Yan looked at the earth sculpture standing in front of the door, and then at Huo Xiaoman. As expected, Huo Xiaoman pointed to a planetary ice cream next to it and said, "That's it."

It was a fuss for a while, and Cheng Yan also sighed that the child's descriptive ability was still good.

Probably the two have been in contact for a while, and they have become more familiar with each other.

The tear marks on Huo Xiaoman's face were gone, and when he entered the store, he sat on a chair by the window with an ice cream cup in his hand, digging a spoonful.

Cheng Yan took out his cell phone and stored the number of the call record he had just called into the cell phone.

Then I searched WeChat with the number, but still did not add it after hesitating for a few seconds.

When he thought about it, he turned his head and saw Huo Xiaoman holding a spoon and looking at him.

Cheng Yan asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Huo Xiaoman tilted his head and looked at it, then poked his finger directly on the lens of Cheng Yan's glasses, shocking him.

Seeing this reaction, Huo Xiaoman blinked his eyes and asked, "Brother, what is this? There is a classmate in our kindergarten, but they are round."

Cheng Yan laughed, got closer, and told her, "These are glasses. If you don't protect your eyes, you will need something like this."

Huo Xiaoman said again: "Brother, I want to see."

"Glasses?" Cheng Yan asked.

Immediately, I saw the little girl sitting aside giving her head twice.

Cheng Yan hesitated for a moment, and then passed it over, but didn't want someone to pass by from behind. The dinner plate he was holding accidentally hit him and his glasses flew out.

His vision suddenly blurred. Cheng Yan listened to the apology next to him and was about to ask where his glasses had fallen. He listened to the sound of plastic cracking next to him. The person next to him quickly apologized and said, "Excuse me, the glasses fell out. It was trampled on accidentally."

Cheng Yan also felt a little troublesome now, and Huo Xiaoman's voice sounded like he was about to cry.

He hurriedly stroked the child's back and told her softly, "It's okay, Xiaoman, don't worry."

Then he fumbled for the contact lens box in his bag, and said to the person who apologized next to him: "It's okay, you have to change it anyway, you go first, it's okay."

Although Cheng Yan keeps contact lenses in his bag all year round, he rarely wears them in daily life.After all, the glasses are put on the frame, and it will give him a sense of security.But in this situation, there is no other way without it.

Fortunately, when he brought it on, he discovered that, in addition to regaining clarity before his eyes, this process somewhat comforted Huo Xiaoman.

I saw the little girl still carrying some ice cream on her lips, and although she still had some tears in her eyes, she didn't mean to cry.

She leaned forward and stretched out her hand, and when she reached his eyes, she drew back again. The whole person seemed to see some magic, and felt so magical.

Such an expression made Cheng Yan laugh again, rubbing her head and explaining to her, "These are the glasses in the eyes."

"Put it in your eyes?" Huo Xiaoman didn't understand, but she still didn't forget to dig a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth, and then she said: "Brother, the hair on your eyes is so long."

Cheng Yan reacted, guessing that she was talking about eyelashes, he couldn't stop smiling at Huo Xiaoman, and replied, "The same is true for you. This is called eyelashes."

"The eyes are hairy." Huo Xiaoman repeated with a mouthful of ice cream.

Cheng Yan listened, waited for her to swallow it, and slowly taught her to read it again, "eyelashes," and then said: "Hurry up, your father might pick you up in a while."

Huo Xiaoman took a few more bites quickly, and his mouth was everywhere.

Cheng Yan wiped her with a tissue before hearing Huo Xiaoman say again: "Brother, are you and my father colleagues?"

"Yes," Cheng Yan replied, "what's the matter?"

"Then do you like my father?" Huo Xiaoman asked again.

"I like it, I like Xiaoman's father." Although Cheng Yan knew that Huo Xiaoman didn't mean what he was afraid of, he still froze for two seconds before answering again.

"Then do you think my father is fierce?" Huo Xiaoman pushed away the ice cream cup in his arms, and then asked Cheng Yan by his sleeve.

Cheng Yan suddenly felt a little strange, "Why does Xiaoman ask like this?"

Huo Xiaoman looked a little unhappy, and his little mouth was pouting, as if he was confiding in someone, he said, "I was sick last week, and my father is so angry."

"Why is your father angry?" Cheng Yan puzzled.

"I don't know. He is just very angry. I see Dad here." Huo Xiaoman stretched out his hand, squeezed his eyebrows together with his fingers, and then continued: "Here, they are all together. I must be angry."

Cheng Yan smiled clearly and said: "Then did you ask him?"

Huo Xiaoman shook his head, and his eyelashes flickered several times.

I saw Cheng Yan raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said, "Your father is not angry, but worried about you."

"Worried? Isn't it really angry?" Huo Xiaoman asked again, seemingly disbelieving.

"No, I promise you." Cheng Yan said, and made a swear gesture with three fingers.

Huo Xiaoman was happy now, and then asked, "Brother Cheng Yan, do you like going to the playground?"

Before the voice was over, Cheng Yan's cell phone rang.

Cheng Yan took a look, whispered to Huo Xiaoman, "Your father's call", and then picked up.

Then I heard Huo Sheng say from the opposite side: "Where are you, I will pick you up."

Cheng Yan watched Huo Xiaoman eagerly watching him call, and when he was finished, he quickly smiled and said to her, "Look, your father is worried about you coming and said he wants to come here to pick you up."

Huo Xiaoman grinned happily, and directly raised his hand and cheered, "Daddy picked us up."
