Chapter 96 – Best Little Child in the World (2)
He had just thought that if his little student brother was willing to be a dog with him, he would give the biggest bone in the bowl to his brother every day, and eat the smaller one himself.
It seems that he can’t find a little friend, in the future, he is destined to eat all the bones alone.
……doesn’t seem too bad.
Song Yunran swallowed hard and felt hungry.
In the past, at this time, he must have already gone home to eat dinner, instead of sitting in the car thinking about bones.
Qin Ke caught a glimpse of his movements and asked gently, “Are you hungry?”
Song Yunran nodded his head.
Qin Ke rummaged through his pockets for pocket money.
Now his family is still relatively poor, fortunately, Qin Nirong is busy and does not often return home, so every week she will always give him some money to buy groceries.
Today is already Friday, the money left in the pocket is not much, but it should be able to feed a child.
“Hold on for two more minutes.” Qin Ke said, “later we will get off to buy you food.”
As soon as he heard that he was going to get off the bus, Song Yunran was immediately happy.
In his mind, getting off the bus was the same as arriving at his destination, which meant that he would soon be able to see his mom and dad.
After the bus stopped at the platform, Qin Ke led Song Yunran to the street.
This place is close to the busy part of Yan City, and there are large and small stores along the street.
Only he was poor, and could not access the elegantly decorated restaurants. He can only find a small store that is quite clean.
When the owner saw the two beautiful children, he asked with a smile, “What do you want to eat?”
Song Yunran said, “I want to eat big bones.”
“……” The boss’s smile froze for a second, “Little kid, we’re a dumpling store in here.”
“But I don’t like eating buns.”
Song Yunran grasped Qin Ke’s hand, big eyes full of pleading, “The store next door sells big bones, can’t you buy for me?”
Qin Ke said, “I don’t have that much money.”
He was ashamed of himself.
Being looked at pitifully by Song Yunran, he actually had a few seconds to think about the philosophical question of why he couldn’t be reborn with assets.
At least he could have bought some pork ribs with sauce for the kids, but this fate was really harsh.
Song Yunran had no choice but to give in to fate.
He chose a beef-filled bun, and when he saw Qin Ke was ready to pay, he asked, “Brother, aren’t you going to eat?”
“I’m not hungry.” Qin Ke said.
In a flash, Song Yunran remembered a story her kindergarten teacher had told her.
In the story, there was a particularly poor child, one day on his birthday, the child’s father spent all the money to buy him a cupcake, the child asked, “If I eat it, what will my father eat?”, the father smiled kindly and said, “Eat it, daddy is not hungry.
Song Yunran was shocked, he felt that this elementary school student brother was exactly the same as the father in the story!
“Wait!”
He hurriedly stopped Qin Ke and raised his head to ask the boss, “What’s the least expensive?”
The boss pointed to a pot of boiled corn, “This is cheaper than buns.”
“I’ll eat this.”
Song Yunran smiled sweetly with dimples and thought to himself, I am also a well-behaved child today.
Probably Song Yunran’s good behavior impressed the boss, and in the end the other party gave them two cups of soybean milk for free.
Qin Ke was in a subtle mood, thanked him and sat on a chair by the door, drinking soybean milk and watching Song Yunran eat corn.
Song Yunran is really hungry, with two paws holding the corn to chew fast, his cheeks bulging like a hamster.
“Eat slowly.” Qin Ke was afraid that he would choke and reminded him.
Song Yunran shook his head, “I want to see mom and dad quickly.”
“You can’t be in a hurry like this.” Qin Ke said, “Wait for the subway and then take two more stations to arrive, at most ten minutes.”
Just after the words were said, Song Yunran’s chewing action instantly slowed down.
Strange, does it take so long to go to mom and dad’s company?
He clearly remembered that when he used to go to Ningdong, all he had to do was to get on the bus outside his home and then get off the bus to get there.
Some child safety awareness revived from Song Yunran’s mind at an inopportune time.
He slowly nibbled on the corn, surveying the street outside from time to time, and finally realized that he was in a completely unfamiliar place.
Song Yunran’s heart thumped.
Finished, he must have been kidnapped!
His kindergarten teacher said that when bad people kidnap children, they will say “I will take you to find your mom and dad”!
The corn in his hand suddenly stopped smelling good, Song Yunran lowered his eyes sadly, unexpectedly this pretty little brother in front of him was actually a bad guy.
Why did he kidnap me?
Does he want to ask mom and dad for money, or sell me to the mountains?
Song Yunran put down the half-eaten corn and quietly cast a look of help to the boss.
Unfortunately, the boss was reading the newspaper and didn’t receive his signal.
Instead, Qin Ke saw that he wasn’t eating, so he said, “Are you full?”
“…… don’t want to eat.”
I am so sad in my heart, Song Yunran thought, do you understand or not, I am so sad that I don’t want to eat corn.
Qin Ke of course did not understand.
He looked at the corn kernels smeared on the edge of Song Yunran’s mouth, helplessly raised his eyebrows, and holding a subtle mood of raising a son, he drew out a paper towel to help his little friend gently wipe it off.
Song Yunran’s eyelashes fluttered.
Brother actually helped me wipe my mouth, the bad guy will not be so gentle with the little kid.
Did he change his mind?
Until the two of them boarded a subway at the station, Song Yunran was still immersed in complicated emotions.
He hadn’t been on the subway and didn’t understand why there were so many people in this car.
But he could see that his younger student brother always held onto his wrist, and tried to push him to a relatively comfortable angle to keep him from being squeezed by the adults around him.
The more Song Yunran thought about it, the more he felt that this was not the attitude a bad person should have.
=After pondering for a moment, he asked in a low voice, “Brother, do you want to eat meat buns and big bones?”
Qin Ke: “…… don’t really want to.”
“?” Song Yunran was not satisfied, “You said you want to.”
Qin Ke smiled, “Okay, I want to.”
“How much do you want to?”
“Especially especially want to.”
Song Yunran nodded: “Then you think I’m cute?”
The topic jumped too much, Qin Ke froze for a moment before answering, “Very cute.”
Oh, so that’s how it is.
Song Yunran understood, he had successfully analyzed his brother’s motive.
In his brain, Qin Ke had tearfully chosen to be a bad guy out of his desire for meat buns and big bones.
But in the end, Qin Ke was so impressed by his cuteness that he couldn’t bear to do anything that would hurt the little kids anymore.
That’s why the younger student brother invites him to eat, wipes his mouth, and protects him.
But then, the older brother wouldn’t get any money.
Song Yunran wrinkled his nose in agony, and after a few minutes, he finally came up with a brilliantly good idea.
Qin Ke hadn’t yet realized the impending storm.
When the subway arrived at the station, he still held Song Yunran all the way out of the station, and found the Ningdong Mansion not far from the subway entrance.
The security guard at the entrance didn’t recognize Song Yunran and stopped them, asking, “Who are you looking for?”
Song Yunran remembered his parents’ names and said, “I’m looking for Bai Wanning and Song Jidong.”
The security guard was stunned and used the intercom to contact his supervisor.
That side identified them in the surveillance again and realized that the one who came was indeed Ningdong’s young prince, so they forwarded the message to Song Jidong’s secretary again.
The secretary immediately rushed down.
Just a few minutes ago, she had received a call from the kindergarten and learned that Song Yunran had disappeared.
She was hesitant to notify Mr. Song and call the police, but fortunately, the Prince himself came looking for her.
The secretary hugged Song Yunran and was fiercely happy for a while before turning her head to look at Qin Ke: “Little friend, did you also run out of the kindergarten?”
How is this still a gang operation, the secretary was even more confused in his mind.
Qin Ke pursed his lips, “No.”
He was silent for a few seconds, guessing that Song Yunran might not dare to sue the nanny right now, so he pulled the secretary to the side and told the whole story, “Please inform Uncle Song and Auntie Bai.”
The secretary nodded repeatedly and added, “You go upstairs with Auntie, our Mr. Song will definitely thank you in person. Besides, it’s going to be dark soon, it’s not safe for you to go home as a little kid, I’ll have the driver send you back after meeting Mr. Song.”
Qin Ke is not really a little kid after all: “It’s fine, my home has a direct bus from here, I know how to go.”
The secretary didn’t force him.
Song Yunran was bullied by the nanny at home, and this was the big thing that needed her to report to Mr. Song immediately.
Qin Ke turned around and waved his hand towards Song Yunran who was not far away, “I’m leaving then.”
Song Yunran directly jumped up from the sofa, and violently accelerated to rush forward to hold him: “You are not leaving!”
You haven’t gotten the money yet, he hissed in his mind.
Hugged quite hard, as if using all the strength of milk, and Qin Ke unexpectedly can not break free for a moment.
Seeing this, the secretary could only advise, “Ranran, you let go of him first.”
“I won’t!”
Song Yunran shouted, then turned her head towards Qin Ke and scowled, “What about the money if you leave?”
Qin Ke was completely confused, “What money?”
Just when the two were at a standstill, the elevator for senior executives stopped on the first floor.
Bai Wanning was about to go out to the dinner, stepping on high heels through the hall, suddenly saw her son, who should be in the villa, unexpectedly appeared in the field of vision, and also hugged a small child of the same age not leting go.
She raised her eyebrows in surprise and shouted, “Ranran?”
Song Yunran’s expression was stagnant, not expecting that the first person he would see would be his stern mother.
But time was urgent, and he was too impatient to think about it in detail!
“Quickly, you quickly press down on my shoulder.” He said as he let go of his hand.
Qin Ke was confused, but after hearing his tone so serious, he thought about it and still put his hand on his shoulder.
At that moment, Qin Ke didn’t know that this would be the most regrettable decision he had ever made in his three lifetimes.
Because a few seconds later, Song Yunran turned his face toward Bai Wanning and shouted, “Mom! I’ve been kidnapped! You quickly take the money and give it to him!”
“………………”
In the evening, the company hall, where people came and went, fell into silence.
In full view of everyone, Qin Ke slowly closed his eyes.
In this lifetime, it shouldn’t be too bad.
