Xia Si, who had just finished filming, went back to her rented apartment, opened the memo on her mobile phone, and checked what classes were available tomorrow. This time she asked for leave from the company to make up for the missed classes.

Xia Si was scrolling through Moments, and suddenly came across a photo posted by Aunt Gui, in which Ji Nan was holding a black diaper for comparison, smiling brightly.Seeing this picture, the exhaustion on my body disappeared in an instant.

She thought about it, she should call Aunt Gui to express her condolences, after all, she saved her life.

Ji Nan was sleeping in a daze when the cell phone on Aunt Gui's bed rang suddenly, which made her tremble, rubbed her sleepy eyes, picked up the cell phone and pressed it to her ear, and said softly, "Hey, you good."

When Xia Si heard the childish voice, she immediately sat up from the bed and asked excitedly, "Is it Nan Nan? I'm Xia Si."

There was no reply on the other end of the phone, so the kid must have forgotten her, Xia Si felt a little wronged: "Nan Nan, did you forget my sister so soon? Huh"

It took a long time for Ji Nan to reply: "Aunt Gui is injured, we are in the hospital."

"Which hospital, I'll be right over." Xia Si on the other end of the phone had already started putting on her shoes and fumbling for her coat.

"Nan Nan, call me later."

"Yeah..." Ji Nan felt inexplicably at ease when he heard the sound of opening the car door.

When Xia Si arrived, Ji Nan was lying on the edge of the bed, looking at Aunt Gui on the sick bed motionless. Because she was too short, it seemed a bit difficult to sit on the high stool, so she had to lie down for a while, straighten up and rest. a while.

"Nan Nan, why don't you go to sleep on the bed." Xia Si first glanced at Aunt Gui who was sleeping, and then rubbed little Jinan's hair distressedly.

Although the air conditioner was turned on in the ward, the eye-catching white beside it seemed too cold, it must be very cold to sleep on, Ji Nan shook his head and said, "I can't sleep."

Xia Si asked, "Have you eaten?"

When Ji Nan was taking notes at the police station, her kind uncle and aunt cooked a bowl of dumplings for her. Because it was too hot and she was afraid that eating too slowly would delay the adults’ work, she said she was full after eating a few bites.It's been a few hours now, and I'm already hungry.

"I ate a few dumplings, but I'm hungry again." Ji Nan said, his voice became softer and his voice lowered, his cheeks were pink.

Xia Si held Ji Nan's small face, squinted her eyes and smiled and said, "Then sister invites you to have a big meal?"

Ji Nan nodded shyly: "Okay."

Xia Si walked out of the ward door, and skillfully put on her hat and mask, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes. Although she was not well-known, she had appeared in two variety shows anyway, so it was always right to be careful outside.

"Nannan, what do you want to eat?"

There is a row of various snack bars near the hospital, as well as exquisitely decorated dessert shops. Ji Nan thought for a while, then pointed to the KFC in the middle with his little finger: "This one."

"This?" Xia Si's eyes were puzzled, thinking that a child like her who was born in a wealthy family would eat high-end desserts.

"Yeah!" Ji Nan moved his little feet, looking a little impatient.

Xia Si's eyes were full of smiles, she led Ji Nan into KFC, went to the front desk to order food, and asked her to wait obediently at the table.

"Nan Nan, you can start." Xia Si stood behind Ji Nan, put on disposable gloves for her, and opened the hamburger in front of her.

Ji Nan's mouth is small and hands are also small, holding a big hamburger and digging into it is really cute, while Xia Si wipes off the sauce from the corner of her mouth with a tissue from time to time.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious." Ji Nan nodded vigorously. Usually, Aunt Gui is very strict and doesn't allow these fried foods to be eaten at all. Today, she managed to eat them, and she didn't open them to eat.

Seeing that she ate pretty much the same, Xia Sicai asked tentatively, "How could Aunt Gui get hurt?"

Ji Nan lowered his eyes, entangled his little hands, and finally said after a while: "Aunt Gui was injured by her stepfather."

Xia Si was shocked: "Why did he hit Aunt Gui! How can a big man do it!"

"Because" Ji Nan told all about what happened tonight, and sure enough, Xia Si and the police reacted exactly the same, angrily patted the dining table, and cursed: "Bastard! Scum!"

The movement was too loud, causing the surrounding customers to turn their heads frequently, and Xia Si waved awkwardly to express his apology.

"What about your biological father?" Xia Si blurted out.

"Mom says I don't have a dad."

Ji Nan's face showed an indifference that didn't match her age again, as if she had long been used to not having a father.

Chapter 4

At night, the street lamps on both sides of the street came on one after another, and many shops in the surrounding area put up the signs of closing business, except for KFC, which still had customers coming and going.

Ji Nan's little hands were very cold, and she was only wearing a set of not-so-thick household sweaters. Xia Si held her soft little hands in his palms and gasped: "Why are you wearing so little?"

"I didn't have time to change clothes." Ji Nan's eyes fell on her white and slender fingers, revealing dimples: "Your hands are so warm."

"That's because I wear a lot."

"Not much." Ji Nan said childishly, she obviously only wore a plaid suit jacket and a close-fitting turtleneck sweater inside.

"I'm an adult, I'm not afraid of the cold."

"Does that mean that when I grow up, I won't be afraid of the cold anymore?"

Xia Si scratched her nose: "Not necessarily, everyone's physique is different."
