Chapter 103 Making a Friend
Then, Qibao said with a proud look, "However, I think my mommy is the most beautiful person in the world."
Touched by Qi Bao's words, Zhao Da Kuang's mind conjured up the image of Su Ying Xue.
He smiled and said, "Your mommy must be a great beauty. You're so cute, your mommy must love you very much, right?"
Qibao proudly said, "Of course, Mommy is the best mommy in the world, she loves us very much."
Zhao Da Kuang's expression became somewhat complicated.
He thought of Su Yingxue's beauty and the happy family Tan Zhengchu had formed, and his smile gradually froze as a strange emotion welled up inside him. But he quickly smiled again.
She continued chatting enthusiastically with Qibao, trying to get more information about Su Yingxue from him.
Although Qibao responded to Zhao Dakuang, he remained vigilant.
She knew this stranger was not simple and that she couldn't easily trust him.
The hospital ambulance, its headlights flashing blindingly, sped along the road.
Zhao Er was hurriedly pushed into the emergency room by medical staff.
Qibao sat in the car, her little face pale with tension and fear, while Zhao Dakang beside her looked solemn.
Suddenly, Qibao frantically started rummaging through his schoolbag.
Then, with a sob in her voice, she said, "My phone is dead, what am I going to do? I can't contact my family, and I can't tell my brothers that I'm here."
Anxiety flashed in Qibao's eyes.
She looked at Zhao Da Kuang, her eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and unease.
After hesitating for a moment, she mustered her courage and said, "Uncle, can I use your phone? I need to tell my family I'm here."
Zhao Dakang looked at her, a complex expression flashing in his eyes. He smiled slightly and asked, "Do you remember your family's phone number?"
Qibao's eyes dimmed instantly.
She lowered her head, bit her lip, nervously clutched the hem of her clothes with her small hands, and said in a low, tearful voice, "I... I don't remember."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, as if they were about to fall at any moment.
Zhao Dakang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Qibao was now unable to contact his family for help.
However, he didn't show it. He just quietly looked at Qibao, with a hint of smugness in his eyes.
Zhao Da Kuang looked at Qi Bao with a gentle smile on his face.
Try to make your voice sound friendly and warm: "Qibao, are you hungry? We might have to wait here for a while."
As he spoke, he tilted his head slightly, looking at Qibao with concern in his eyes.
Qibao raised her head and looked at him warily.
Her eyes were as clear and wary as a fawn's, and she shrank back towards the car door without saying a word.
Seeing this, Zhao Da Kuang moved closer and said with a smile, "Look, it wouldn't be good if we waited here and got hungry. Uncle was just asking. If you're hungry, we can think of something."
Qibao frowned, his eyes filled with suspicion, and said loudly, "I'm not hungry, I don't eat food from strangers."
Zhao Da Kuang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and explained, "Qi Bao, Uncle isn't a bad person. Uncle is just worried that you'll go hungry."
Qibao pursed her lips tightly and said with a determined look in her eyes, "Mom said I can't eat anything given by strangers. I'm going to wait for the driver."
Zhao Da Kuang shrugged helplessly, but was surprised by Qi Bao's vigilance.
Zhao Da Kuang thought for a moment, a smile playing on his lips, and said to Qi Bao, "Qi Bao, how about Uncle goes to buy you a strawberry cake? You like strawberry cake, don't you?"
Qibao hesitated for a moment, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by wariness.
Zhao Da Kuang opened the car door and got out, walking towards a cake shop not far away.
He walked quickly, as if worried that Qibao would wait too long.
Stepping into the cake shop, the air is filled with a sweet aroma.
He was selecting from a display case filled with various exquisite cakes.
With her eyes fixed on the strawberry cake, she said to the shop assistant, "Give me a piece of strawberry cake, the freshest one."
The shop assistant wrapped the cake and handed it to him.
He paid and hurried back.
As he walked, he would occasionally look back in the direction of the car.
Only after confirming that the car was in sight did they continue forward.
Qibao pressed his face against the car window, his eyes fixed on Zhao Dakang's departing figure.
The sunlight shone on him, giving him a golden glow.
His figure gradually grew taller in Qibao's eyes.
Qibao thought to herself, "This uncle looks so handsome, and he really seems to want to buy me cake. He can't be a bad person, right?"
Her brows gradually relaxed, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her small face. "He seems to treat me quite well. Maybe... maybe I can trust him a little bit?"
She silently told herself this, and the wariness in her eyes lessened slightly.
Zhao Da Kuang returned to the car and handed the beautifully packaged strawberry cake to Qi Bao.
Qibao's eyes lit up when he saw the cake, like two sparkling stars.
She took the cake, opened the packaging, smelled the sweet aroma, and smiled happily.
Then, she raised her head, her eyes filled with innocence and kindness, and looked at Zhao Da Kuang, saying, "Uncle, let's eat together."
Zhao Da Kuang was stunned; he hadn't expected Qi Bao to say that.
Looking into Qibao's clear eyes, a warm feeling welled up in his heart, his eyes slightly moistened, and he said in a slightly choked voice, "Good, Qibao is so sensible."
Qibao picked up a small fork, scooped out a piece of cake, and handed it to Zhao Dakuang, who accepted it with a smile.
Zhao Da Kuang took the cake from Qi Bao and put it in his mouth.
The soft cake spread across his tongue, the sweet and sour taste of strawberries and the sweet aroma of cream blending perfectly, as if dancing on his taste buds.
He closed his eyes, savoring the wonderful taste, a satisfied expression on his face.
He thought to himself, "This cake is so delicious, is it because Qibao shared it with me?"
He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Qibao, his eyes filled with tenderness and emotion, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
After finishing his cake, Zhao Dakuang looked at Qibao with undisguised admiration and affection in his eyes.
He smiled and extended his hand, sincerely saying to Qibao, "Qibao, we are friends now. Come on, let's shake hands."
Qibao was a little surprised and blinked her big eyes. She had never shaken hands with an adult before.
However, she quickly realized what was happening, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she reached out her small hand to tightly grasp Zhao Da Kuang's large hand.
She said happily, "Uncle, we're friends now!"
Zhao Da Kuang gently shook their clasped hands and said with a smile, "Yes, we're friends now."
At this moment, the driver got into the car and said to Zhao Da Kuang, "Sir, Zhao Er has been bandaged up and is waiting for you inside."
Zhao Da Kuang nodded, released Qi Bao's little hand, and felt a little reluctant.
He took a business card out of his pocket and handed it to Qibao: "Qibao, this is your uncle's business card. If you need anything, you can have someone take this to your uncle."
Qibao took the business card, squinted his eyes and smiled, his eyes curving into crescent moons.
She carefully placed the business card in her schoolbag and said happily, "Uncle, I've made another friend!"
Her smile was as bright as the sunshine, full of childlike innocence and joy.
