Chapter 9,Part 1: Guilty Conscience - Daughter is \'playing with the trash\' again
Is breathing out that effective?
Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, didn’t mind Lin Momo’s words anymore, and instead took a band-aid from the side to put on Lin Momo’s wound.
“Okay.”
“Thank you.” Saying so, Lin Momo grinned at Lin Cheng, looking very happy.
“What are you so happy about?” Lin Cheng was feeling a little strange.
“It’s nothing.” Lin Momo shook her head, thought for a while, and then explained in a low voice, “Grandma helps me stick it on, too.”
The way Lin Cheng helped her put the band-aid on made Lin Momo think of Liu Cuifang.
Lin Cheng was the second person who helped her to put band-aids on her wounds.
Hearing Lin Momo’s words, Lin Cheng’s heart was inexplicably touched, and he raised his head to look at Lin Momo seriously—at this moment, the girl still had tears on her face, but she was smiling happily.
The words ‘really ugly’ were blurted out.
Lin Momo: “???” How was she ugly?!
At this time, Lin Cheng had already turned around and left, continuing to clean up as before.
Lin Momo raised her hand to look at the band-aid that wasn’t put on very well, bent her knuckles, and whispered in an ‘I’ll get you too!’ way, “It’s so ugly.” The next second, she stared at the band-aid on her finger again and giggled.
Putting away her hands, Lin Momo walked to the front of the same box she was cleaning up before, and was about to continue the unfinished packing, but was stopped by Lin Cheng.
“Leave it alone, you don’t need to do it.”
“This time I will be careful…”
Lin Cheng gave Lin Momo a look that made her shut up.
Lin Momo didn’t know how to make the audience like her and Lin Cheng, but when she thought that she might be hated if she didn’t do something helpful, she suddenly became nervous.
Lin Momo moved to Lin Cheng’s side and whispered, “I can help you.”
Seeing Lin Momo staring eagerly at the box in his hand, Lin Cheng frowned and directly refused, “No need.”
Lin Momo still stood by, unwilling to go away.
“Go to the side,” Lin Cheng told her.
“I’m not in the way,” Lin Momo pointed out, and raised her hand to take some of the crumbling pile of books and newspapers inside the box in Lin Cheng’s hand.
Lin Momo’s insistence to help made Lin Cheng feel a headache coming.
Lin Cheng looked around, and finally found a pile of fast food boxes and plastic bottles left by the previous owner in the corner of the room. So he pointed to the pile of things that were not too heavy and said to Lin Momo, “If you really want to help, go and take the pile of bottles downstairs and throw them away.”
“Okay!”
.
Lin Momo, who had a job she could do, found a plastic bag big enough, and the pile of lunch boxes, paper cups, paper bowls, and beverage bottles were all packed into it with quick little hands and feet.
Then, before Lin Cheng could say anything, Lin Momo went downstairs with the bag of ‘garbage’.
It was a big, bulky bag, but it wasn’t heavy.
Lin Cheng looked at Lin Momo lugging the bag down from the corner of his eye, and continued to tidy up the debris in front of him.
… …
About an hour and a half had passed by the time Lin Cheng managed to collect all the debris inside the house.
He… seems to have forgotten something?
Lin Cheng thought to himself.
Looking around at the house that was too quiet, Lin Cheng finally realized what he had forgotten! He forgot about the child!
Lin Cheng took out the old phone prepared by the program group that only had a call function, and looked at the time. He frowned. How long would it take Lin Momo to throw out the trash as he asked?
Lin Cheng’s face darkened, he put down his work and went out.
It turned out that the child was not lost, after all.
When Lin Cheng walked down to the ground floor, he saw Lin Momo squatting next to the large trash can in the middle of several residential buildings, fiddling with the previous bag of trash with ‘excitement’.
Those used instant noodle bowls, paper cups and paper bowls had already been dismantled by Lin Momo, and they were neatly piled aside. A dozen or so cans were also crushed by Lin Momo.
At this time, the child was ‘killing’ the last pile of drink bottles.
Looking at Lin Momo who was integrated into the garbage dump, Lin Cheng’s face darkened, and his temples throbbed violently
Unable to bear it, Lin Cheng finally yelled out, “Lin Momo!”
Hearing Lin Cheng shout her name, Lin Momo, who had been concentrating on her ‘career’, was startled, her hands trembled in surprise, and she almost let go of the soda bottle she was working on!
Lin Momo stood up in a daze and looked at Lin Cheng suspiciously.
“Come here.” Lin Cheng’s tone was stern.
Lin Momo wanted to say to Lin Cheng, “I’m only a little bit far,” but when she raised her head, she met Lin Cheng’s angry eyes. Lin Momo hesitated, lowered her head, and obediently walked in front of Lin Cheng.
Seeing that Lin Momo was still holding a soda bottle in her hand, Lin Cheng frowned even deeper, and said in a cold voice. “Throw away the one in your hand too.”
Lin Momo was so frightened that she unthinkingly followed and opened her hand—the plastic bottle fell to the ground with a dull thud and rolled far away.
At this time, in the livestream channel, the deserted comments section finally became lively:
[Haha, Dad finally remembered his brat. ]
[I just want to know, what’s so interesting about those trash. ]
[Maybe in the eyes of children, there is no distinction between trash and toys. ]
[All the toys have been confiscated, so she can only play with trash. ]
[Speechless.]
[What’s even more speechless is that I actually stared at this kid playing with trash for over an hour!]
[Me too.]
[Lethal.]
… …
It was, indeed, lethal.
Sitting in front of the computer, Chen Yu nodded in disbelief.
While Lin Momo ‘played with trash’ for over an hour, the number of online users in the live broadcast room steadily increased from more than 500 to more than 1,000.
T/N: This is the second time he’s forgotten about the baby (? ? ??)
