Li Ting smiled when he heard that. “Indeed.”
Xing Jiuan looked at him and subconsciously released the strength in her feet. She was still a little nervous when the other party realized that she was like this.
Li Ting did not even know her now…
How could she have forgotten this!
Xing Jiuan’s appearance made Li Ting laugh.
“Um, do you want to teach them a lesson yourself?” Xing Jiuan asked.
Li Ting looked at the person on the ground who could barely stand up and shook his head. “There’s no need.”
“Why are you here?” Li Ting asked. “It’s late. Why aren’t you resting?”
“I came out to play.”
Li Ting looked at the pitch-black and remote surroundings but did not expose her lie.
“You should go.” Li Ting lowered his head at the person on the ground, his voice filled with disgust.
The man struggled to stand up and left without saying another word.
“Is it troublesome for you if I hit him?” Although Xing Jiuan knew the answer, she still asked.
“What if I say yes?” Li Ting asked.
Xing Jiuan stopped in her tracks.
In her previous life, Li Ting did not like to tease people!
“Then I’ll catch him and make sure he doesn’t say anything.”
Li Ting smiled. “It’s alright.”
“Why are you here so late?” Xing Jiuan asked Li Ting back.
“Same as you, I came out to play.”
“…”
Seeing Xing Jiuan’s speechless expression, Li Ting smiled. “I came out for something.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
“Wait a minute.” Seeing that Xing Jiuan was about to leave, Li Ting stopped her.
Xing Jiuan was a little confused.
“I suddenly remembered that it’s not that urgent.”
“So…” He smiled. “Young lady, can you stay with me for a while?”
Of course, Xing Jiuan agreed.
The two of them walked slowly, like a father and daughter who were on good terms.
Li Ting and Xing Jiuan walked slowly and chatted casually. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
He still called her Miss Xing like a gentleman. If they were closer, he would call her Jiuan.
However, only he knew that he was not satisfied with these two terms.
It was not that he did not like Xing Jiuan’s name.
However, he had a dream not long ago. In the next few days, he would always dream about these things.
In his dream, he had lost an arm, and the girl in front of him looked gloomy. She did not have the vitality of a young person at all.
In his dream, he had a good relationship with the little girl in front of him. The little girl was very close to him, and he treated her like his biological daughter. When she faced him, the cold little girl outside would be very relaxed.
He did not call her Miss Xing or Jiuan…
He called her Baby.
Anytime he wanted to.
“Baby, don’t be unhappy.”
“Baby, I bought some vegetables and meat. Let’s cook hotpot together!”
“Baby, don’t be afraid. I’ll accompany you.”
“Baby, you’re so silly!”
“Baby…”
It was like what he had really experienced. Even now, when he saw Xing Jiuan, he felt that he still wanted to call her “Baby.”
His… baby!
Later on, Xing Jiuan was preparing to go back. It was also Li Ting who felt that she should go back. It was very late, and the little girl should sleep early.
“Do you live nearby? I’ll drive you.”
Xing Jiuan shook her head. “No.”
“Is someone picking you up?” Li Ting remembered the person who had picked Xing Jiuan up that day and asked.
“No, I’ll take a taxi.”
Xing Jiuan held her phone. “I’ve already called for a taxi.”
