"Uncle."

"Um?"

"Why...do that kind of thing?"

After staring at the box of puzzle toys in his arms for a while, a sentence came out of the little boy's mouth to silence Director Li.

His hand holding the cane quietly clenched.

After a while, a smile appeared on the middle-aged face again, and turned to the little boy and said, "Haven have you promised uncle not to think about what happened just now? That's a bad thing, so don't think about it."

"But, the memory is there. Even if I say I don't think about it anymore, uncle, you should know that, I actually remember that thing, right?"

Chief Li was stunned, and then his eyes became more and more strange, strange and complicated when he looked at the little boy.

He found that this child did not look like an ordinary child. Could it be that children who grew up in special families are so precocious?

Sometimes precocious puberty is a good thing, but more often, for a child, precocious puberty is an absolute bad thing.

Because that means that they have to face the real cruelty in this world with their immature hearts.

For example, the previous scene.

If the person who did this today was replaced by anyone else, Director Li might not have let the other party go easily.

But when he saw the short figure walking out of the office toilet with his head down and his head restrainedly, his first reaction, who was originally sitting on the sofa, was to quickly get the suit jacket next to him and put it on.

At least for the child, he wants to try his best to leave something good.

Bad people may not be completely bad. Some people, even if they are bad, have their own principles to stick to.

"Of course, Uncle knows that it is unlikely that you will forget that thing at once. But if I and you no longer mention it, you will sooner or later forget it. This is what Uncle hopes you can do."

Facing Director Li's words, the little boy nodded in a vague way, and then suddenly asked: "That big sister just now... is she a star?"

Office Chief Li frowned when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment, looked at the black head, and nodded in a sigh: "Yes!"

"That's how it is."

Fortunately, the little boy did not continue to ask questions such as why the elder sister came to his office, which really made Officer Li feel relieved.

The old and the young man sat silently on the bench in the corridor.

It was not until Director Li looked at the time on his watch again that a burst of rapid footsteps came into their ears.

"Then, that! Xiaoyu!"

The little boy turned his head and looked at Han Yishi who was running over and walked down from the bench. Before he could speak, he was hugged tightly by Han Yishi who was squatting down.

"Are you okay? Are you injured or something? What's going on? As soon as I came out of the conference room, I heard people say you're in trouble?"

When he heard my mother ask questions like a firecracker, the little boy who was held in her arms blinked and was thinking about how to answer, he heard Chief Li next to him say, "It's okay, Screenwriter Han, just a little misunderstanding, and it has been solved now."

Director Li's words made both the mother and son turn their eyes to him.

When Han Yishi saw this middle-aged man with a cane in his hand and a big belly, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, with a warning in his eyes.

She hugged her son, squatted on the ground and lowered her head in an apology, "Sorry... Director Li, my son has caused you trouble."

Seeing the young female screenwriter in front of him, Director Li seemed to understand what she was thinking. After laughing at herself imperceptibly, he took the initiative to lean back with his cane, and said calmly: "Well. I had a cold today, so I didn't attend the meeting just now. What's the result?"

"From everyone's reaction... I should be quite satisfied with my proposal."

"That's good."

Mr. Li's words made Han Yishi stunned. Just as she was about to look up, she heard the middle-aged man knocking on the ground with his cane and saying, "That's it. Go back first and wait for the notification. As soon as possible, we will call you tomorrow to inform you of the results."

"Oh... OK. Then I'll say goodbye first." Although she was surprised that Director Li would expose this matter so lightly, this result was undoubtedly what Han Yishi wanted the most. She nodded quickly, then breathed a sigh of relief, ready to pick up her son and leave.

"I mom, wait."

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to pick up her son, the little boy broke free from her arms, and then walked all the way to Chief Li in a slight dazed gaze of Han Yishi and Chief Li.

At the sight of the two adults, the little boy squatted down calmly, stretched out his little hand and knocked on Chief Li's prosthetic limb.

"Du, Du" sounded softly. In the tense expression of Han Yishi's sudden tense face, Chief Li looked down at the child squatting on the ground, but did not show any anger. Instead, his eyes softened without notice.

Then the little boy stood up again, approached Director Li, and deliberately said in a volume that only the two of them could hear, "Goodbye, uncle."

Chief Li's mouth curled slightly, lowered his head, and said softly: "Goodbye. But your mother probably won't want you to see me again."

"There is always a chance. And... Thank you, I said this for my mother."

A hint of surprise suddenly emerged from Chief Li's face.

"You didn't go to the meeting on purpose, and wanted my mother to feel at ease, right? I just listened to you carefully and you didn't catch a cold."

After hearing this whisper that reached his ears, Chief Li stared at the little boy bowing to him and then turned around and ran back to his mother's arms.

It was not until the mother and son disappeared from his sight that a chuckle couldn't help but chuckled in the empty corridor.

The laughter was a little pleasant, and there was a little indescribable loneliness.

Unexpectedly, others kept a distance from him because of those rumors. But it was because of such a child who just met today who could understand his heart. It was really...it was really...it was better to be happy or sad.

Director Li grabbed the cane in his hand and was about to turn back to the office, but he couldn't help but look at the direction the little boy left, muttering to himself:

"This child... is too smart and makes people worry even more. I hope today's affairs will not have a big impact on him. Even if I am dirty alone, I can't drag down a clean child..."

...

"I'm mom."

"Um?"

"Does a person have to pay the so-called price?"

Han Yishi, who was sitting on the bus holding her son, looked down at him in surprise. Obviously, she didn't expect him to ask such a deep question. After thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Yes. After all, who in this world will help you for no reason except for your family? It all takes effort."

The little boy looked forward thoughtfully.
