Chapter 19 Xia Xia runs fast, and Dad can't catch up
What the hell...give it to your dad to eat?
Lu Yuanqiu felt like he heard something incomprehensible.
"No...you mean, you should leave school now and bring this meal to him?"
He asked in disbelief.
Bai Qingxia nodded slightly.
Judging from Lu Yuanqiu's expression, he seemed to disagree.
Bai Qingxia put her chopsticks aside and silently stopped putting snacks into her lunch box. After all, these snacks were brought by Lu Yuanqiu...
She sat there stiffly, looking a little embarrassed.
It was as if she was waiting for Lu Yuanqiu to take the snacks away again, or to give some other "death order", because she knew that Lu Yuanqiu was only giving them to her out of kindness, not for her father.
Lu Yuanqiu didn't understand.
In fact, he had already had a grudge against Bai Qingxia's father.
What kind of father is this?
Not only did he force his daughter to steal bread from the supermarket, but he even asked her to bring him food from the school cafeteria?
Lu Yuanqiu felt a nameless fire rising from the bottom of his heart.
If he hadn't taken Bai Qingxia's self-esteem into consideration, he would have made a "home visit" to settle accounts with the father long ago.
With Lu Yuanqiu's temper, he could definitely do it.
Shit! The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
My daughter is so beautiful and has such good academic performance. If she were my daughter, I would have spoiled her to the sky!
No matter how poor our family is, I would sell everything I have, donate blood for money, and even starve myself, just to give her something to eat.
Lu Yuanqiu took a deep breath. He was really depressed, so he raised his hand and knocked the table hard, cursing "Fuck it".
"unbelievable."
The two dinner plates jumped up due to the shaking, and Bai Qingxia was also startled.
She raised her head and looked at Lu Yuanqiu timidly, and two tears fell without warning.
She whispered, "I'm sorry."
After apologizing, Bai Qingxia quickly raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, then picked out the snacks from the lunch box again, put them on the plate, and then pushed the plate towards Lu Yuanqiu.
Lu Yuanqiu was stunned: "What are you doing?"
Bai Qingxia lowered her head: "I'm full. Thank you for giving me these foods. I really appreciate it..."
In order to prevent Lu Yuanqiu from misunderstanding that she was angry, Bai Qingxia raised her face and gave the young man a smile that was uglier than crying.
She knew that Lu Yuanqiu was very kind to give her food.
She was ignorant of etiquette and was thinking of giving the food to others.
Lu Yuanqiu was almost laughing because of this girl.
He pushed it back again: "No... I didn't say I couldn't let you bring it to your dad, it's just... you should at least eat the chicken leg, okay? You can give him the rest."
Bai Qingxia lowered her head and shook her head gently: "I'm very full, I really can't eat anymore."
Oh shit!
Lu Yuanqiu suddenly wanted to pinch his own Ren Zhong... He was so angry that he almost felt like his brain was not getting enough blood.
This stubborn girl!
Forget it, there's nothing we can do about her. Lu Yuanqiu couldn't bear to teach her a lesson at this time. After all, this girl was very filial, which was a good thing. If she had to blame anyone, she could only blame her father.
So he adjusted his mood and immediately said, "Okay, okay, give it to him. I agree. You can pack the lunch box."
Bai Qingxia silently raised her head and looked at Lu Yuanqiu, as if to confirm the other person's expression.
Lu Yuanqiu pulled the corners of his mouth hard and forced out a friendly and harmonious smile to prove that he didn't care and let her distribute the snacks as she pleased.
The girl then felt relieved and picked up the chopsticks again to put the snacks into the lunch box.
She put the lunch box into a plastic bag and then into her schoolbag. After she stood up, Bai Qingxia bowed gently to Lu Yuanqiu and said, "Thank you."
Don't say I'm a good person, don't say I'm a good person... Lu Yuanqiu said to himself expressionlessly. Bai Qingxia didn't say anything.
Looking at the girl's back as she left the cafeteria, Lu Yuanqiu let out a long sigh.
How great would it be if this was my daughter? He thought to himself, and then laughed helplessly.
……
Leaving from the gate of Lucheng No. 7 Middle School, Bai Qingxia turned left and quickened his pace.
She did not lie to Lu Yuanqiu yesterday. Her home was quite close to Lucheng No. 65 Middle School, and right near Lucheng No. Middle School.
However, Bai Qingxia did not go home with her schoolbag, but went to the school gate of Lucheng No. 65 Middle School.
She also went to junior high school here.
After crossing the road, Bai Qingxia saw from afar a middle-aged man in blue overalls sitting next to the green belt opposite the school.
He sat upright with his back straight, like a primary school student listening attentively to the class, his eyes fixed on the school gate, as if he was afraid of missing someone leaving school.
Seeing this scene, Bai Qingxia's usually cold face broke into a smile, and she quickly ran over with her schoolbag on her back.
While the middle-aged man was not paying attention, she tiptoed, as if she had returned to the naughty little girl she was in her childhood, and quietly approached him from behind step by step.
Then he patted the other person's shoulder quickly.
The middle-aged man turned around in a daze, and looked around with his handsome face. When he didn't see anyone, he turned back. At this moment, a pure smiling face appeared in front of him like a blooming flower.
"father!"
Bai Qingxia spoke with a smile.
"Xia Xia!"
The middle-aged man looked at his daughter and happily called out her name.
But then, like a child who had done something wrong, he quickly stood up, lowered his head, and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"I didn't see Xia Xia get out of school, I didn't see Xia Xia get out of school..." He muttered to himself, and his tone was very childish, just like a five or six-year-old child.
His ten fingers were twisting nervously, and his expression looked aggrieved.
Bai Qingxia quickly helped him sit down and comforted him, "Because Xia Xia ran too fast, Dad didn't see it."
"Xia Xia runs fast, Xia Xia runs very fast, Dad can't catch up."
The handsome middle-aged man repeated his daughter's words like a baby.
Bai Qingxia looked at him gently, then took out a lunch box and clean chopsticks from her schoolbag.
"Time to eat! Time to eat!" The middle-aged man supported his hands on the steps and swung his legs like a child.
Bai Qingxia didn't rush to feed him. She took out a tissue and a cup of water, poured water on the tissue, wet it, and then wiped the dust off the middle-aged man's face. She said in a scolding tone, "Why did you make your face dirty again?"
"Xia Xia, I'm sorry..."
The man spoke aggrievedly.
"It's okay, Xia Xia is not angry."
Bai Qingxia said gently as she wiped it.
She opened the lunch box, wrapped the chicken leg bone in a clean paper towel and handed it to her father.
"Chicken drumstick! Chicken drumstick! Chicken drumstick!" the man asked excitedly, but he did not reach out to take it. He looked at Bai Qingxia anxiously and urged her, "Xia Xia, eat! Xia Xia, eat quickly! The bad guys are coming after us!"
"I've eaten. I ate two. Dad, hurry up and eat. The bad guys are chasing us!" Bai Qingxia said in the same tone as the man, then picked up the rice with chopsticks and handed it to the man's mouth.
The man opened his mouth wide and ate the rice with a "ah-ah" sound. Then he immediately took a big bite of the chicken leg. He ate it with relish and shook his legs excitedly.
