Chapter 371: 371 (midnight)
Could it be her dad?
After Chu Jin stopped speaking, silence fell on the other end of the line, with just a faint, "Chief"
The conversation abruptly ended there.
"Hello, may I ask, are you Pengpeng’s father?" Chu Jin tentatively asked.
"It’s ."
"I am Chu Jin, is it convenient to let Pengpeng take the phone?"
Hearing the clear voice coming from the phone, Mo Qianjue’s lips slowly curved into an almost imperceptible smile.
That voice had appeared countless tis by his ear.
It was her, no doubt.
Mo Qianjue slightly raised his hand, and the young man standing beside him imdiately bent down respectfully and walked out the door.
"...You finally ca back." After a good while, just as Chu Jin thought the other party had hung up, such a sentence ca from the phone.
The tone was very familiar, like that of a long-ti acquaintance.
Before Chu Jin could react, the other side continued, "Pengpeng misses you a lot."
"Where is she then? Please let her take the phone."
"She’s not at ho right now."
"Oh, then..." Before Chu Jin could finish her sentence, her entire body was tackled by a dark shadow, and she staggered several steps before steadying herself.
Two fluffy black paws draped over her shoulders just like that.
Dog and human, staring at each other, eye to eye.
"Bread!" Chu Jin exclaid with joy.
"Woof woof!" Bread was equally excited.
Just as Bread was about to extend its tongue to lavishly lick Chu Jin’s face, at the very mont its tongue ca out, as if recalling sothing, it suddenly closed its mouth, uttering a low whine, and affectionately rubbed its dog head against Chu Jin’s chin and neck.
Mo Qianjue, listening to the sounds on the other end of the phone, also knew what had happened.
He just maintained the action of holding the phone.
He didn’t speak, nor did he hang up.
Chu Jin, seeing the darkened phone screen, thought the other side had already hung up, so she didn’t pay it any more attention, casually putting it into her pocket.
"Huh," Chu Jin raised her hand to touch Bread’s dog head, sounding sowhat puzzled, "Why did you co alone? Where’s your brother Peng?"
This was too abnormal.
If this had been in the past, the little Lolita would have rushed out to hug her leg and demand kisses by now.
Why the anomaly today? After so much ti, little Lolita hadn’t yet co out.
Chu Jin subconsciously looked around, but didn’t spot little Lolita anywhere.
As if understanding Chu Jin’s words, Bread whined, first lifting its dog head to rub against Chu Jin’s head.
Then its front paws quickly hit the ground, and it bit into Chu Jin’s clothing hem, pulling her to one side.
Chu Jin followed Bread to one side.
They stopped in front of a thick tree, and Bread ceased its tugging.
Seeing the pink edge of clothing exposed by the tree, Chu Jin realized what was happening and her lips curled into a slight smile.
"Hm, let
guess which little friend is hiding behind the tree."
"Is it Little Ming?"
"..." No response from the other side.
"Is it Little Red?"
"..." Still no response from behind the tree, and moreover, the piece of pink clothing was carefully retracted.
Chu Jin, looking at little Lolita’s actions, felt a bit confused.
Had her charm declined?
Chu Jin slightly raised her eyebrows, feigning surprise, "Aha! I’ve guessed it, it’s Peng brother, right?"
Even after her words, the little Lolita still had no intention of coming out from behind the tree.
Ever since eting Wang Xuxu at that intersection, little Lolita still ca here every evening after school to continue waiting.
But unlike before, she wouldn’t just sit there waiting; she’d hide behind a tree, quietly watching the situation across the street.
She was afraid of mistaking Jin brother again.
Seeing little Lolita still reluctant to co out, Chu Jin walked directly to the back of the tree, bent down, and opened her arms towards the little girl, smiling, "Peng brother, long ti no see, I’ve missed you so much. Co let
give you a hug."
But little Lolita backed away several steps, watching Chu Jin very warily.
Is this person really Jin brother?
Little Lolita’s eyes, sparkling and big, blinked as she stared directly at Chu Jin, not saying a word, her eyes filled with caution like a startled little deer.
Zi from the Purple Thunder space spoke faintly, "Jin brother, could it be that this child has beco silly?"
Chu Jin: "..." She too wanted to know what exactly little Lolita had been through all this ti she was away!
"Peng brother, what’s up?" Chu Jin looked at the little girl, teasingly starting, "Haven’t seen
for a few days and you’ve beco shy? Don’t recognize your Jin brother anymore?"
Little Lolita cautiously took a couple of steps forward, hesitating, "Are, are you really Jin brother?"
Hearing this, Chu Jin more or less understood the situation.
It was probably that Wang Xuxu stirring up mischief again.
It seed her absence had allowed Wang Xuxu to cause quite a bit of trouble.
Chu Jin directly bent down and picked up the little girl, "If I’m not your Jin brother, then who could I be?"
And with that, she planted a firm kiss on the little girl’s cheek.
The familiar scent enveloped her.
"Jin brother, it really is you..." The little girl wrapped her arms around Chu Jin’s neck, crying out loud in excitent.
"There, there, don’t cry now," Chu Jin soothed her, rubbing her head and speaking softly.
