His gentle voice eased Xie Qingyu’s anxious and angry mood a little. It was actually normal for Duan Zihui to leave the child at his cousin’s house to play.
She was just being too anxious.
“Okay.” Xie Qingyu hung up the phone.
Someone in the store was looking for her. She sat on the sofa in the lounge for a while and then walked out.
After her mother hung up the phone, she couldn’t get through for a long time. Little Zhuzhu called her mother several times before she got through.
After asking her and saying goodbye to her, she hung up the phone and continued to play with Duan Xinyi.
The two children watched TV for several hours.
By four o’clock, they were getting a little bored with TV.
Duan Xinyi didn’t want to play with toys downstairs, so she asked Zhuzhu: “Let’s go upstairs to play.”
She said mysteriously, “Let’s go upstairs and play some fun things.”
“What fun things?”
When Zhuzhu heard that there was something fun, she immediately put down the toy in her hand.
Duan Xinyi pulled her upstairs.
When they got to the room, she took out her tablet from her drawer, turned it on, and asked Zhuzhu, “Sister, do you want to play games?”
Zhuzhu knew that it was a tablet because Chongchong also had one.
Zhuzhu didn’t have one because her mother wouldn’t buy her one.
Her mother said that children would become nearsighted if they looked at electronic devices for too long, so her mother didn’t let her use the phone much.
Zhuzhu could only watch some interesting short videos after finishing a phone call with her friends, when her mother wasn’t looking. Now she couldn’t use her mother’s phone to play games anymore.
Seeing her older sister open a game on the tablet, she looked on curiously and asked, “Sister, what fun games are there?”
Duan Xinyi sat on the floor beside the bed. Seeing Zhuzhu leaning over, she moved aside a little to let her see, saying, “Let’s play Connect-the-Dots. Do you want to play?”
Having said that, she clicked on the pattern above to eliminate it.
Little Zhuzhu stared at the patterns intently and nodded: “Yes.”
Duan Xinyi handed the tablet to Zhuzhu, generously saying, “Then you can play first, little sister.”
She looked at the door warily for a moment and said, “But we can only play secretly because the teacher complained to me last time. My brother scolds me whenever he sees me playing. I’m so annoyed by him. He’s always nagging me.”
This game might be a bit boring for some adults, but it is enough for kids.
Zhuzhu found it quite interesting.
So the two kids sat on the ground and played connect-the-dots, taking turns playing it.
They gradually lost track of time.
Jiang Yingyu didn’t see them downstairs, so she came up to look for them.
As soon as she opened the door, Duan Xinyi threw the tablet to Zhuzhu, got up from the ground, and pretended to say, “Mom, we are playing with toys.”
Zhuzhu put the tablet on the ground, stood up, and looked outside with her clear, black eyes. She looked so cute.
Like a little animal suddenly appearing out of nowhere.
Jiang Yingyu didn’t come in either. After confirming that the two children were playing in the room, she went downstairs.
Due to Xie Qingyu’s restrictions, Zhuzhu had little exposure to the game. Once she started playing, she became somewhat addicted.
Even after Duan Xinyi stopped playing, she still wanted to play, as if a kitten was tickling her, making her feel itchy.
When her father came to pick her up that evening, on the way home, she tentatively asked him, “Daddy, my sister has a tablet, but I don’t. Daddy, could you buy me one?”
When Duan Zihui heard his daughter bring it up, he didn’t think too much about it. He had a desire to make amends with Zhuzhu, so he tried his best to satisfy her in whatever she wanted.
So he went around and bought her a tablet.
