Old Injury

ere was a mirror in front of each urinal, and the mirror didn’t show anyone else behind me, but it completely showed my messy hair that was about to cover my eyes, and my pale and blue complexion.

No wonder the doorman looked at me with such disgust, like a vampire who hadn’t slept in eight hundred years.

Laughing at myself for being too careless, I trimmed my hair, zipped up and turned around… A little boy looked at me blankly.

“!!!” I clutched my beating heart, and almost couldn’t help screaming in horror.

The other party was about five years old, only about my thighs, wearing a camel-colored plaid overalls, a pair of big black eyes, and was staring at me for a moment.

That line of sight turned out not to be my illusion, but someone was really looking at me from behind.

It took me a while to calm down before my heartbeat returned to normal.
During this time, the other party maintained the same expression and posture, and he was panicked when he saw it.

I squatted down and asked him, “Why are you looking at me silently?”

The little boy stared at me with big black and white eyes, expressionless on his face, as if he didn’t understand my words.

“Where’s your mother?”

He still ignored me.

I thought he was hearing impaired and snapped my fingers very close to his ear.
He blinked sharply, clearly audible.

I thought of looking outside to see if there were any of his parents, and after scanning the circle, I found that the surroundings were very empty, not even a single person.

Turning around again, startled again, he followed me out, and came close to me, grabbing the hem of my shirt with one hand.

I picked him up and said, “Whose child are you? Do you know where your mother is?”

The child was as beautiful as a porcelain doll, and he didn’t even react like a normal person.
If it wasn’t for his warmth and softness, I would have doubt it is artificial Ai implanted in the program.

“Do you know your mom or dad’s phone number?” I took out my phone in one hand and asked the other person with no expectations.

Unexpectedly, this time the little boy’s eyes suddenly moved, and he reached out to the phone.

“Did you think of something?” I hurriedly gave him the phone.

He held the phone in both hands, pressed a series of numbers slowly and unskillfully, and returned the phone to me.

“Is that your parents’ number?” I asked him.

The little boy looked at me like an ice sculpture and a snow sculpture.

I sighed and dialed the number on my phone.

It took a long time for the call to be connected, and a polite young female voice came from the opposite side: “Hello, who is it?”

“Uh… I found a child, did you lose it?”

The opposite side was silent for a while, the female voice became very indifferent: “I’m not married, how can I have children? If you’re going to cheat money, just find someone else, I’m very busy.”

After that, she hung up the phone, and no matter how much I called, the other party didn’t answer.

“She said she didn’t have children, didn’t you give me your mother’s cell phone number?” My question was destined to be unanswered.
The little boy sat quietly on my arm, except for blinking, his face seemed to be frozen, nothing.

How can I do this…

Just as I was at a loss, thinking about handing him over to the service desk in the mall, the child suddenly stretched his arm and pointed to a sign above our heads.

I took a closer look.
In addition to the location of the elevator toilet, it also marked the location of a commercial building adjacent to the mall.

When I came last year, the commercial building was still undergoing final construction.
It is said that it was bought by a large company to be the headquarters building.
Now that a year has passed, someone should have settled in the office long ago.

“Is it where your parents work?”

I asked casually, but this time the other party nodded.
Although the movement range is small, it is true that he nods his head up and down.

With clear goals, I’m also much easier to do.

“Then I’ll take you to find them.”

I do good deeds every day and want to be a useful person to society, but when I finally walked to the grand business building with a child in my arms, I looked up at the bronze “Xia Sheng” on the lintel.
When it comes to two words, to be honest, apart from running away, I have completely forgotten my original intention.

How could it be so coincidental that this building was actually bought by Xia Sheng to make the new headquarters?

This used to be the Xia Sheng of the Xia family.
Not long ago, it became Song Bai Lao’s company.

The Song Bai Lao I’m going to marry soon.

Fate is really a wonderful thing.
In the past seven years, I haven’t heard anything about Song Bai Lao even once, and I haven’t seen him anywhere.
But since agreeing to Ning Shi’s request, it’s like turning on some evil fate switch, and suddenly this person is everywhere.

The security guard at the door saw me standing stupidly and didn’t want to go in, so he came over and asked, “Sir, who are you looking for?”

I woke up and said, “Oh, I’m looking for… I’m looking for this child’s parents.”

There are thousands of employees in the company, and even if they arrive in Xia Sheng, they may not be able to see Song Bai Lao.

The security guard looked suspiciously at the little boy in my arms, and suddenly glared: “Oh, isn’t this little young master?”

I was also shocked: “Little… little young master?”

Can I be called by Xia Sheng’s security guard ? For the “little master”…

I didn’t have time to think further, but the other party enthusiastically pulled me by the arm and pulled me through the door to the front desk.

“The young master is here!”

Two young girls sat at the front desk and looked at me in surprise.

One said, “I heard from Assistant Li that today the new nanny will bring the young master over to find the boss.
Are you the new nanny? It turns out to be a man.”
The other said, “I’ll take you up, come with me.”

I want to say that I am not a new babysitter, but the problem of being nervous when people are too many makes me temporarily in a state of aphasia.
I can only follow their instructions like a wooden man, and my mind goes blank.

The lady at the front desk took us through the gate with her own card, and then took the elevator that also required card swipe.
Press the button on the 28th floor, the highest floor, and the lift is is silent.

“You…” When they reached the tenth floor, the other party suddenly said.

Every pore I was nervous was trembling, and when I heard her voice, I raised my head.
The three sides of the lift were covered with dark brown mirror glass, which truly reflected my panic-stricken appearance.

The other party was taken aback by my reaction and was a little embarrassed: “I want to say that Mr.
Song may be in a meeting, and you have to wait for him in the office for a while.”

Mr.
Song…

Where is there another person named Song who dares to call Xia Sheng? “Mr”?

It’s really Song Bai Lao.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the lady at the front desk: “Why are you sweating so much, are you uncomfortable?”

I am quite uncomfortable.
At first I thought I could, but now I realize I can’t.
I could even hear my teeth rattling up and down in fear, and the constant trembling kept me from uttering a word.

“”

The elevator dinged at this moment, and the 28th floor arrived.

“Please.” The front desk helped me block the door and let me go first.

As soon as you exit the elevator door on the 28th floor, there is an open reception room.
The floor is covered with a soft dark blue carpet.
The floor-to-ceiling windows make the whole space bright and heavy.
On the right is a closed space divided by a glass wall, which is locked.
The door, but judging from the furnishings, it should be Song Bailao’s office.

The whole floor is extraordinarily quiet, and the sound-absorbing effect of the fleece underfoot is very good.

“Wait here, I’ve already sent a message to Assistant Manager Song.” The girl was about to follow her out of the elevator, when suddenly there was a movement in her phone, it seemed that her colleague had something urgent to do with her.

She frowned: “I’m sorry, I have something to do here.
You can wait here for a while.
You can pick up the drinks and fruits on the bar.
I’ll go first.”

“Hey…” She turned back after walking a few steps, I wanted to stop her and tell her not to leave, but the other party was so focused on communicating with the colleague on the other end of the phone that she didn’t notice me at all.

The elevator door closed relentlessly in front of my eyes, I stared at it for a moment, sighed, and put the little boy in my arms on the ground, letting him move freely.

“Will you wait for your father here by yourself?” Now I look at the little boy’s facial features, with bright eyes and white teeth, but there is indeed a bit of Song Bai Lao’s shadow.
“Uncle is in a hurry and can’t accompany you.”

I wanted to slip away, but before I took a few steps, the pants on my thigh were pulled from behind.
I looked back, the child was clutching my pants tightly, and I could see a little reluctance on his blank face.

“Honey, I’m really leaving.” It was a child, I easily broke his hand.

But after a few steps, he grabbed me again.

We were like tug-of-war, he dragged me, I dragged him, and tried my best not to let each other wish.

Just as we were entangled, there was a ding dong, and I was shaken by the sound and shivered all over, and looked stiffly towards the elevator.

The elevator door opened slowly, and a tall man with a black bite stop covering his lower face gradually appeared in front of me.
The bangs were fixed with hairspray and combed to the back of the head, revealing the entire smooth forehead, which made the eyes especially deep.
He was wearing a suit with his hands in his trouser pockets.
Just looking at him like this, the words “shocking” flashed in my mind unconsciously.

Literally, as soon as I saw him, my heart skipped a beat.

When he saw my face, he first squinted and thought for a moment.
After a few seconds, he finally found my image from a corner of memory.
His brows gradually loosened, and the ends of his brows raised a familiar, careless arc.

“It’s you.”

I haven’t seen you for seven years, and he may have long forgotten my name.

No, he never seriously remembered it before.

“Okay, long time no see.” I pretended to be calm and stretched out my hand.

“Song Bai Lao.”

The author said: “Bo” is pronounced “bai” as a surname, and “bo” as a first name.
