Chapter 344

~8 min read 1,442 words

In Li Ang's hesitation, the carriage carrying Li Ang's family passed the road card, entered Red Cedar Avenue, and drove toward the depths all the way.

Until the two little guys leaned on the edge of the car window and looked at the two huge red cedar trees that were a hundred meters high in amazement, Li Ang also saw Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's familiar figure at the entrance of Baohua Manor.

After holding one little guy in each hand and bringing William and Melanie off the carriage, looking at Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who was wearing a set of plain-colored woolen half-length skirts with almost no decoration, holding a little girl's hand, and smiling quietly at him by the street, Li Ang's heart felt inexplicably more peaceful.

"Sorry, we are a little late."

"Not late, Aili and I just came out not long ago."

Looking at the two little guys holding Li Ang's hands on the left and right, curiously looking at her daughter, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma couldn't help but smile, then gently pinched the small palm that was nervously trying to clench into a fist in her hand.

"Aili, say hello to Uncle Li Ang."

After nodding obediently, the little girl, who was wearing a wide-brimmed children's soft hat and a woolen little skirt of the same color, said timidly:

"Hello Uncle Li Ang, hello Aunt Anna, and... hello to you too."

The little girl's voice was very pleasant, not only crisp and pleasant like a wind chime under the eaves in summer, but also with a soft little milky tone at the end of the sentence. Just listening to her voice, she felt like a very gentle child.

It's just that compared to the soft voice, the little girl's outfit was a bit "not easy to approach." The cuffs and hem of the woolen little skirt seemed to have been specially lengthened, covering her wrists and little shoes tightly.

Even the collar embroidered with a few small flowers was stood up, hiding her slightly baby-fat chin firmly behind it. On her face, which was already blocked by the wide hat brim, she was wearing a pair of big glasses that were not very transparent, and her fair little face was almost hidden.

This child... seems to be afraid of light?

After looking at the palm held by Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, and finding that she was also wearing a pair of exquisite little gloves, Li Ang raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, then let go of his hand and took the initiative to squat down, smiling:

"Hello to you too, Aili, happy birthday."

"Thank you Uncle Li Ang..."

When Li Ang took the initiative to squat down to look at her, the little girl, who rarely communicated with others, instinctively took a step back and hid most of her body behind Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's skirt.

But after hearing Li Ang's powerful but not aggressive voice, and seeing his gentle eyes with a trace of pity, little Aili's fear suddenly dissipated for the most part, and she actually walked half a step forward unknowingly.

This?

After finding that the little hand held in her palm was no longer tense, and even wanted to pull her toward Li Ang again, a look of surprise appeared in Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's eyes.

Aili doesn't seem to resist contact with Li Ang?

【Trusted Big Brother (Bronze): Because your parents died early, you took on... deeply loved by your younger brother and sister.】

【Wearing effect: When talking to minors younger than you, the other party will easily develop a sense of trust in you, and when they are emotionally excited, they will easily trigger the special state "Pouring Out Your Heart", confiding their depression and secrets to you.】

Sure enough, Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's daughter has too little contact with others, and she will indeed be a bit shy. It was right for him to switch the badge out in advance.

After looking at little Aili's eyes through the lenses and confirming that the fear and strangeness in them had disappeared for the most part, Li Ang couldn't help but smile, and then waved at William and Melanie, letting them come to say hello to "Sister Aili."

And with 【Trusted Big Brother】 as the foundation, the tension and fear in her heart were eliminated, and secondly, she met two social-terrorist powder-heads of the same age at once, and her emotions were soon led to be lively.

Little Aili, who was not very good at dealing with others, soon crossed the strangeness between each other and played with the two little demons in Li Ang's family, and even generously took off her glasses and lent them to the curious Melanie to try on.

His guess was correct, Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's daughter has "problems."

Although the two children didn't notice, after little Aili took off her glasses, Li Ang, who had been paying attention to her, keenly noticed that after more sunlight fell on her skin, her body became slightly transparent.

Even if the degree of change was not large, it was just equivalent to changing from a completely opaque real flesh body to a 99.9% opaque degree, but that illusory and fluttering feeling could not be fake. She was definitely not a "normal" child.

And before little Aili took off her glasses, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who was chatting with Anna, bit her lower lip slightly, seemingly wanting to stop it, but finally didn't speak, letting her daughter's abnormality be exposed in front of Li Ang, only reaching out to support it gently when little Aili's soft hat was crooked in the play and was about to be directly exposed to the sun.

"Miss Anna, can I ask you a favor?"

Looking at her daughter who was laughing and jumping happily in the sun and had never been so "vivid," Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, whose eyes were half pity and half guilt, really couldn't bear to move her eyes away for a moment, but finally tried her best to turn her head back and requested Anna:

"Can you help me look after them? I have something I want to talk to Li Ang about, sorry to trouble you."

"Sister Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, you don't have to be so polite."

Facing her life-saving benefactor, Anna naturally would not refuse, and took the three children who were playing and went around the execution platform next to the red cedar tree, entering Baohua Manor along the main road.

And Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who had something to say, fell half a step behind, walked to Li Ang's side, who also had something to ask, and said softly with her eyes lowered:

"Sorry... Li Ang, I haven't told you about Aili's situation before."

"It's okay."

After shaking his head slightly, Li Ang answered softly:

"Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, yesterday, besides ordering a custom gift for little Aili, I also went to find a friend in the Police Department and presumptuously asked her to help me check a part of the household registration records of the Baohua family, as well as a part of the archives from that year.

So I can roughly understand your feelings. You didn't want to tell me, but every time you wanted to mention the things back then, too many things would be turned over from the bottom of your heart, making you unable to speak."

After looking at Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who was biting her lip tightly and had an unusually complicated expression, Li Ang thought for a while, held her slightly cold palm and squeezed it hard, then explained sincerely:

"Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, the reason why I did these investigations is not because I suspect you will be unfavorable to me, but because I feel that you and the Director seem to be hiding something from me, and it is something very bad for you.

But unlike the Director, I am willing to respect your thoughts. If you are still not mentally prepared, you don't have to tell me the reason, and I will stop the investigation.

But in return, I also hope you can promise me that before you can't help but do certain things, you must think carefully about Aili before making a decision, don't let yourself regret it, okay?"

"Thank you..."

Feeling the temperature coming from Li Ang's hand, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma bit her lip, then withdrew her palm, then took out a sharp little knife, cut her palm hard, and then took the initiative to grab Li Ang's left hand.

【Name: Baohua's Sin (Flesh, Life and Death)】
