Xia Ruoxin took her daughter’s small hand and then stopped and squatted down, putting her hands on the daughter’s shoulders.
“Rainy, Mommy is going on an errand so be good and wait here for Mommy, and remember to not wander around.”
She was very worried for her daughter, and she wanted to let her come along, but it was really inconvenient. She could only leave her daughter there temporarily.
Rainy nodded her head and hugged the doll in her hands. Ever since she had this doll, she would carry it everywhere she went.
“Rainy understands. Rainy will not wander around and will wait for Mommy here. The doll will accompany her so Rainy is not afraid.”
She smiled shyly and hugged the doll close to her face. She was a good child and had always listened to her mother.
Xia Ruoxin rubbed her daughter’s hair and let her sit on the steps, and then she left to deliver her things. She walked briskly as she wished to send the delivery fast and go back home early. There were a lot of clothes to wash at home.
Rainy waited for Xia Ruoxin’s figure to disappear before pressing her lips together and hugging the doll in her arms. Her sparkling eyes observed her surroundings. There were many people at this time, and a lot of people did not understand why such a pretty child could be sitting here alone.
Lonely and heartbreaking.
“Little girl, are you here alone? Where are your parents?” A man hung around sneakily for a long time before sitting next to Rainy, his eyes flashing with a malicious light. He lowered his head and sized up Rainy’s cute face. A pretty girl like her would surely sell for a good price.
Rainy raised her head and furrowed her little eyebrows. “Mommy went to deliver stuff and will be back soon.” Even though she didn’t like this man, she still answered. Her Mommy always told her to be polite to people.
“Oh, I see.” The trafficker’s smile widened. He took out candy from his pocket. “Little girl, Uncle has some sweets, do you want one?”
He put the candy in front of Rainy and shook it in front of her on purpose. Children loved candy the most.
Rainy’s eyes followed the sweet to and fro, but after a long time, she lowered her head and said, “Mommy said I can’t eat something from a stranger.”
“Don’t worry, little girl. Uncle is not a bad person. Uncle just finds you cute and really like you.” The trafficker smiled again, but this time, his eyes flashed with frustration. Why was this kid so hard to deal with?
“Mommy said that bad people will not say that they are bad.” Her eyes widened into round circles, the seriousness on her face could parallel that of an adult’s.
The trafficker choked on his own saliva and gave a dry cough. “Look at Uncle. I don’t look like a bad guy,” he said, trying to make his smile pleasant.
Rainy tilted her head and thought seriously, and then she nodded her head.
The trafficker let out a breath of relief.
“Uncle looks like a bad person.” She hugged her doll tightly. She did not like the way this man looked at her.
The trafficker’s eye twitched, and his eyes filled with viciousness.
