After hearing this, Jiang Baige asked Yao Jing to stay in the car with Xiaoyu and Haihai first, while she and Liu Shutong walked aside.

"Teacher Liu, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

"Alas, it's still that damn Chen Bo..."

Thinking of this, Liu Shutong gritted her teeth.

"He knew very well that Haihai must be accompanied by an adult to sleep when there was thunder... But after bringing that woman home yesterday, he completely ignored Haihai. Xiaoyu is too young to take care of her at all. The two children tossed around all night, and he didn't dare to call me..."

As Liu Shutong spoke, tears glistened in her eyes, and Jiang Baige quickly handed her half a pack of tissues.

"Just now, I went to pick someone up, and that bastard Chen Bo came out to open the door. He was disheveled and had no idea that the two children had suffered so much! Xiaoyu's voice was hoarse, and Haihai still had a low fever. Both of them were in low spirits... I really wanted to chop him with a knife!"

"So...what do you need me to do?"

Liu Shutong finally came back to her senses: "Yes, yes, I was so excited that I almost forgot... Actually, it's nothing, I just want you to help Xiaoyu more."

"Of course that's no problem... But since you're worried, how about giving them a cell phone?"

It’s a pity that there is no more convenient electronic watch yet.

"Well, I've thought about this. But I always thought that Chen Bo is the child's father after all... But since you told me about the murder case of your relative's family last time, and he is becoming less and less concerned about the child..."

Liu Shutong seemed to have thought of something bad, and quickly spat twice before continuing.

"I'll take them to buy a cell phone after school today, but usually..."

"I understand, Teacher Liu." Jiang Baige patted Liu Shutong's shoulder in a comforting manner, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoyu and Haihai."

She was secretly delighted: I didn’t expect to gain Liu Shutong’s trust so easily!

It seems that all the previous "preparation work" was not in vain.

Liu Shutong was stunned for a moment: Jiang Baige looked like her student when he was arm in arm with her. They looked like the same age!

***

On Sunday, Jiang Baige pulled Yao Jing out of bed early in the morning: "Hurry up, don't sleep anymore, we agreed to go to the toy city today."

Yao Jing was sleepy and his mind was still not fully formed.

Seeing Jiang Baige's face suddenly appear, he subconsciously hugged her in his arms and fell on the bed again.

Jiang Baige: ???

This damn boy...is addicted to hugging people to sleep, right?

Without saying a word, he kicked him.

Yao Jing was caught off guard and fell directly to the ground. He cried out "Ouch!" and rubbed his butt. This time - he was fully awake.

Jiang Baige jumped off his bed without any mercy.

"Get up as soon as you wake up. I've already bought breakfast, and we'll leave on time at nine o'clock."

The largest toy store in Lincheng is at the other end, and it takes an hour and a half by bus to get there.

It was almost noon when they got off the bus.

Jiang Baige didn't care about being hungry and pulled Yao Jing to the place where they could buy protective inflatable mats for amusement parks.

But they looked around twice and didn't see anything suitable.

Either the price is too high, or they think the area they want is too small, so they are unwilling to accept the order.

"How about we buy the fire escape inflatable cushions?"

Jiang Baige disagreed, "No, we are on the third floor, and people from the fourth floor up can see what we put down there. If it's a normal protective mat, we can throw some toys like ocean balls, and people will just think we have kids at home, and it won't be too strange. But if it's the kind used by the firefighters... it's too conspicuous."

They had discussed this issue before, but they didn't expect that a toy inflatable cushion would be so difficult to buy...

"Let's go take another look!"

The two took a short rest and set out again to find a suitable inflatable cushion...

Finally, their hard work paid off and they finally found a suitable inflatable mat in an inconspicuous store.

The only drawback is that their inflatable mat is relatively small, and to cover a space as large as a terrace, four pieces need to be spliced ​​together.

However, the store can come to your home and help fix it to ensure that the joints will not crack and can withstand the weight of two or three adults.

However, the inflatable cushion was only a last resort, and they couldn't find anything better for the time being, so they could only make do with it for the time being.

"We still can't pin our hopes on an inflatable cushion..."

Yao Jing also nodded: "Yes, falling from such a high building, even if he can save his life, such a young child, what if he gets a fracture or concussion... Even if he doesn't have these, the psychological trauma will be huge..."

Since the two had reached a consensus on this matter, on Tuesday, Jiang Baige took advantage of the early afternoon school dismissal and rushed back to Lijing Villa from school without stopping.

Coincidentally, I met Xiaoyu who came downstairs to play shuttlecock.

"Xiaoyu." Jiang Baige held her back, "Why are you playing downstairs alone? Where's your brother?"

"He likes watching TV and doesn't like outdoor activities."

Xiaoyu was also very happy: "Sister, are you staying here today? Mom told me that if I have anything, I can tell you..."

It seems that Liu Shutong had already explained it over the weekend.

Jiang Baige suppressed the joy in her heart and played with Xiaoyu for a while. Then they went to a small supermarket and bought two popsicles.

When they were about to get on the elevator, Jiang Baige asked her if she wanted to go to her house to play. Xiaoyu agreed immediately without hesitation.

"Wow, my sister's house is so clean."

If Xiaoyu hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Baige wouldn't have noticed it. Because she has never liked doing housework since she was a child, she has never cleaned here.

Could it be... Yao Jing?

If it was really him, then he was still suitable for the family. In Jiang Baige's heart, he was given a few more points.

"Xiaoyu, come here with your sister."

Jiang Baige pulled Xiaoyu towards the bedroom. When they reached the door, she remembered that she and Yao Jing slept in separate beds. If Xiaoyu accidentally revealed it...

No!

She quickly blocked the door and coughed twice: "Hey, Xiaoyu, my throat is a little itchy, can you go to the living room and get my water cup?"

Xiaoyu didn't suspect anything and left obediently.

Jiang Baige quickly took the opportunity to sneak into the room and took out the puppet equipped with the intercom device.

"Xiaoyu, look! What is this..."

"Wow!" Xiaoyu's eyes lit up with joy. She grabbed the doll and held it in her arms.

In order to avoid being conspicuous, Jiang Baige specially bought one that was not too big and just the right size to fit into the bag.

"As long as Xiaoyu likes it." Jiang Baige touched Xiaoyu's head and said gently, "This is a gift from your sister."

After hearing this, Xiaoyu's expression suddenly changed.

Jiang Baige was puzzled: "What's wrong, Xiaoyu? Don't you like it?"

Xiaoyu shook her head and bit her lip: "No, I like it very much, but... I can't have this toy. If my father sees it, he will throw it away again!"

After saying that, she stuffed the doll back into Jiang Baige's hand.
