Chapter 396 A flash of inspiration, Zhou Tongtong’s strange dream (two chapters in one)
The sunset is about to set, and there is only the last afterglow left on the horizon.
The scented candle given by Su Yue’s colleague smelled quite good after being lit.
Lin Li had a candlelight dinner at Su Yue's house, helped wash the dishes, and then left.
The silver-white van drove out of the community and headed home quickly.
In a green belt somewhere in Ping'an Garden Community, two little wild cats stared intently at a van parked in a parking space.
After Lin Li parked the car and got out of the car, he glanced at the green belt beside him and immediately saw two little wild cats squatting on the grass looking at him.
"These two little guys..." Lin Li thought for a while, feeling that these two little wild cats seemed to often look at him like this.
Looking away from the two little wild cats, Lin Li turned and left. At this time, the little black cat said to his companion, "Meow... let's go!"
Xiao Bai The cat nodded, and then the two little wild cats ran very quickly towards a leafy tree beside the wall of the community, climbed up the tree very dexterously, and then climbed out of the wall.
"Ding dong."
The elevator door opened, and the crisp childish voice immediately reached my ears.
Lin Li walked out of the elevator and looked towards the place where the child's voice came from.
I saw Zhou Tongtong with a bun and a cute little skirt sitting on the steps, holding her chin with her two little hands and humming a children's song.
"Two tigers, two tigers, running fast, one without ears, one without tail, so strange, so strange..."
"Zhou Tongtong, what are you...?" Lin Li looked at the little girl sitting on the steps with confusion, humming a children's song.
"Brother Lin Li!!!" Zhou Tongtong heard a familiar voice, looked up, and then let out a cry of surprise.
"Are you locked out?" Lin Li guessed and asked.
"Yes." Zhou Tongtong nodded, and then said to Lin Li, "I forgot to bring my key when I went out."
"Where is your mother?"
"Mom, she went out to do errands."
"That's it! Then come and sit at my house first!" Lin Li said, inviting Zhou Tongtong to come to his home, and then he took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. The door of your own home.
Zhou Tongtong, who had been sitting outside for about twenty minutes, had already sang several children's songs.
Now that she heard Lin Li calling her to come to his house, she immediately picked up the small iron basin beside her and followed him.
It was getting dark soon, and the room was dark. Lin Li walked into the room and immediately turned on the lights at home.
Seeing Zhou Tongtong sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Lin Li took out a pack of biscuits from the bag on the coffee table and handed it to her.
"Eat something to cushion your stomach first! I'll call your mother and ask her when she will come back."
"Thank you, brother Lin Li." Zhou Tongtong reached out and took Lin Li's hand. He handed him the cookie and politely thanked him.
No one would dislike a cute and polite little guy like this. Lin Li smiled, then he picked up the TV remote control, turned on the TV, and found a channel that played cartoons .
Zhou Tongtong's eyes were quickly attracted by the cartoons playing on TV while eating cookies.
Afterwards, Lin Li took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the address book, found Xia Qing's number and dialed it.
"Beep..."
A few seconds after the call was dialed, Xia Qing answered the call.
“Hello.”
“Xia Qing, are you not at home?”
"Yes! I went out to do some errands in the afternoon. I'm currently buying groceries at the vegetable market. I'll be back later. What can I do for you?"
Lin Li looked to her side. She must have heard him get through to her. His mother's phone call came, and the little girl was looking at him at the moment.
"Oh, you're shopping for groceries, you'll be back soon... That's it, I just got home, and I just saw Zhou Tongtong locked out at the door." Lin Li said.
"Tongtong, is she locked out?" Xia Qing, who was holding some vegetables she had just bought, had a surprised expression on her face.
"Yes, she forgot to bring her key when she went out. Now she is at my house. I will let her watch cartoons for a while and wait for you to come back."
"Thank you, sorry to bother you."
"It's okay."
After chatting briefly with Xia Qing, Lin Li hung up the phone.
Xia Qing, who was buying vegetables at the vegetable market, put her mobile phone away, and then she quickly walked to the place where the fish was sold in the distance.
If it hadn’t been for the trip to the Public Security Bureau just now to deal with something, she would have already bought groceries at home.
"Your mother is shopping at the vegetable market and will be back soon." Lin Li put the phone on the coffee table and said to Zhou Tongtong.
"Yes." Zhou Tongtong nodded, then reached out and took out a small biscuit from the small bag, stuffed it into his mouth, and started eating it.
"I'll get you a bottle of drink." Lin Li said with a smile, then got up and walked to the kitchen.
"Brother Lin Li, you don't need to bring me a drink. I'll just drink some boiled water." Zhou Tongtong said to Lin Li, looking at the kettle filled with cold boiled water on the coffee table in front of him.
“Don’t be polite to me.” Lin Li said.
"Mom will make dinner later after shopping for groceries. If I drink a drink, I won't be able to eat dinner." Zhou Tongtong said.
"So that's it! Okay, I'll pour you some boiled water." Lin Li took a small disposable paper cup and poured half a cup of cold boiled water for Zhou Tongtong.
"Thank you." Zhou Tongtong took the half cup of cold boiled water and drank it in small sips. Although the biscuits were delicious, her mouth would still be very dry if she didn't drink some water.
"I'll pour you some more." Lin Li picked up the kettle and added some more cold boiled water to Zhou Tongtong's small paper cup.
"Brother Lin Li, have you had dinner?" Zhou Tongtong put the small paper cup on the coffee table and asked.
"I just had it at a friend's house." Lin Li said as he put the kettle back on the coffee table.
"Brother Lin Li, do you have a girlfriend?" Zhou Tongtong suddenly asked, and Lin Li was caught off guard by the change of topic.
"Uh..." Lin Li didn't expect Zhou Tongtong to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No."
"Why not?"
"Because there isn't, so there isn't!" Lin Li said nonsense.
"I saw that other big brothers in the community have girlfriends, why don't you?" Zhou Tongtong asked again.
"..." Lin Li fell silent when he saw Zhou Tongtong looking at him seriously and asking this question that he didn't know how to answer.
And just when he didn't know how to answer the little girl's question, the cell phone he placed on the coffee table suddenly rang, helping him out. He took the phone and took a look. It was a video call from Su Yue.
Lin Li tapped the screen with his finger and answered the video call from Su Yue.
Su Yue's home was still in a power outage, so when the video call was connected, Lin Li saw a dark environment around her.
"What are you doing?"
"It will be a while before there is electricity. The house is dark now, so scary!"
"..." Lin Li's face He showed an expression like you were kidding me, "Are you still afraid of the dark? What if It’s just other people, do you think you can fool me?”
“Hehe…I really can’t fool you,” Su Yue said with a smile, “It’s really boring to spend time at home in the dark. Let’s play some games! I’ll take you flying.”
Lin Li glanced at Zhou Tongtong, who was watching a cartoon, and said to Su Yue, "Let's play the game later! I have guests at home now."
"Guests?" Su Yue heard Lin Li say that there were guests at home. , a puzzled expression appeared on her charming face.
You know, Lin Li had just finished dinner at her home and had only been home for a few minutes. Why did she suddenly have a guest at home?
“It’s a child from the neighbor’s house next door. Her parents are not at home, and she didn’t bring her key, so she was locked out. I asked her to come to my house and sit down and watch cartoons for a while. , wait for the family to come back."
"Oh, that's right! Let's play games together later." The reasonable Su Yue nodded and ended the video call.
Lin Li sat down on the sofa, put his phone aside, and then watched cartoons with Zhou Tongtong with gusto.
At this time, Zhou Tongtong, who was holding a pack of biscuits and watching cartoons, was thinking about one thing, "The elder sister who was on the video call with Brother Lin Li, her voice seemed to me. Never heard of it.”
More than twenty minutes later, the doorbell at home rang.
Lin Li, who was watching cartoons with Zhou Tongtong in the living room, stood up and walked to the entrance.
“Click.”
Lin Li opened the door, and Xia Qing, who had a quiet and elegant temperament and a tall figure, appeared in front of him with two bags of ingredients in her hands.
“You’re back!”
“Well, Tongtong?”
Lin Li turned around and shouted towards the living room, “Zhou Tongtong, your mother is back "
As soon as he finished speaking, a petite and cute figure ran out with an uneaten biscuit in one hand and a small iron basin in the other.
"Mom."
"You kid, you forgot your key when you went out. You need to remember better next time." Xia Qing looked at her daughter who came to her and said.
Zhou Tongtong nodded. She had already reviewed herself in her mind about forgetting to bring her keys when she went out this time. This kind of mistake should not happen again in the future.
"Mom, brother Lin Li invited me to eat biscuits..." Zhou Tongtong raised the uneaten half of the package of biscuits in her hand.
“Did you say thank you to brother Lin Li?”
"Yeah."
Lin Li looked at the conversation between mother and daughter and said with a smile, "You're welcome, it's just a cookie."
Afterwards, Xia Qing thanked Lin Li again, and then He took his daughter home.
After the guests left, the quiet home was only filled with the sound of cartoons still playing on the TV in the living room.
Lin Li came to the living room, turned off the TV, and then went back to the bedroom to get his pajamas and take a shower.
Originally, he planned to take a shower as soon as he got home, but due to temporary changes, he was slightly delayed.
Next door, Zhou Tongtong followed her mother back home. She put the half-pack of uneaten biscuits in the living room, then walked into the kitchen and placed the little white cat and the little black cat's rice bowl on the stove. superior.
Xia Qing was taking out the ingredients from the bag and preparing to wash vegetables and cook. When she saw her daughter putting the small iron basin on the stove, she asked curiously.
“What did you give those two little wild cats to eat?”
“I gave them some mung bean soup, mom, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai drank the mung beans. After the soup, everyone said the mung bean soup cooked by mom was delicious." Zhou Tongtong reported truthfully.
"Oh, it turns out those two little wild cats also like to drink the mung bean soup I cooked!" Xia Qing responded to her daughter's words jokingly.
"Yes! I will serve them more mung bean soup next time." Zhou Tongtong said seriously. She did not realize that what her mother said was a joke. The conversation between mother and daughter was not on the same line. superior.
"Then I'll cook more mung bean soup next time...Okay, you go to the living room and watch TV for a while. I'll cook dinner and call you." Xia Qing said.
"Yes." Zhou Tongtong nodded, then left the kitchen. When she came to the living room, she picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
“Ha~”
Watching the cartoon on TV, Zhou Tongtong raised her hand and yawned.
After waking up from her lunch break, she went out to play with the two little wild cats for a long time, which consumed a lot of energy and now she was a little tired.
After yawning, Zhou Tongtong lay down on the soft sofa, slowly closed her eyes, and listened to the sound of cartoons coming from the TV, and she actually fell asleep.
The moment she fell asleep, a pale golden light appeared between her eyebrows.
A small bunch of pale golden aura appeared between the little guy's eyebrows, beating like a golden flame... It only lasted for two or three seconds, and then the pale golden aura that appeared between the eyebrows dissipated.
Dream, Zhou Tongtong, who was sleeping on the sofa, had a strange dream.
In her dream, she saw Xiaobai and Xiaohei, who were still in their infancy, facing off against a strong adult tabby cat in a remote corner of the park.
The strong adult tabby cat was obviously a ferocious stray cat. It looked at the two little ones in front of it with disdain, and the latter stared at each other unwilling to be outdone.
"Meow...you two little guys came to my territory to look for food. Do you want to die?" The strong adult tabby cat said to the little white cat and the little black cat in a bad tone. the cat threatened.
"Meow... This park is so big, there are a lot of mice, and you can't eat them all by yourself." said the little white cat.
"Meow...we are just here to find food, what's wrong? Are you going to fight with us?" the little black cat replied.
"Meow... Such a crazy tone, that's good. Originally I thought I'd just teach you a lesson, but now it seems I have to kill you." A strong adult man The tabby cat looked at the little black cat, his eyes flashing fiercely.
As soon as it finished speaking, its limbs suddenly exerted force and rushed towards the little black cat.
Just before the strong adult tabby cat was about to attack, a light golden light flashed in the little white cat's eyes, predicting the danger in advance and issuing an early warning to its friends.
"Meow... Xiaohei, be careful, he is going to attack us."
Unfortunately, despite the little white cat's early warning, the gap in strength is still there.
The strong adult tabby cat attacks so fast that the young black cat cannot resist it.
