Chapter 456 The Childe in the Tang Family Lives Off A Girl 23
Sweet Orange looks up and down again, and when she finally finds that she is the only one at home, she cries.
âMom⦠Oops⦠Dad oops⦠Grandpa and Grandma⦠Sister oopsâ¦â Sweet Orange is crying while walking to the sitting room. It has already been dark outside. She climbs onto the sofa, crying out of breath, but no one responds. No one.
When she is sick of crying, Sweet Orange thinks of something. She sniffs hard and picks up the phone. She remembers the phone number of everyone in the family. She calls them one by one, but no one answers the phone. The tears that just stopped are dropping again.
âMommy, Iâm scared. Where have you gone?â
At this time, the phone rings suddenly. Sweet Orange is startled and picks up the phone, sobbing.
âHello⦠Do you know where my mother has gone?â She cries and shouts before the person at the other end says, âThey are all gone, only Sweet Orange is left alone.â
âHello? Hello? Sweet Orange?â
âBrother?â Sweet Orange shouts excitedly. It is Gungunâs voice. She cries louder, âBrother, brother! Where have you gone?â
Gungun is also very excited over there, âSweet Orange, are you going back? We found that you were not at home and all came out to look for you.â
âIâm back.â Sweet Orange cries and shouts, âBrother, Iâm afraid.â
âWe are all looking for you far away!â Gungun says over there. Sweet Orange didnât hear her brother giggling just now because she was scared. She cries and says, âThen⦠Then you come back earlier.â
Gungun embarrassingly says, âWe are too far away from home and it will take a while to go back. If you are afraid, go to bed. And when you fall asleep, you will not be afraid.â
Sweet Orange cries, âIâm scared. Brother, Iâm scared!â
The phone hangs up.
In the garage, Bai Susu yells, âWhy did you hang up? Sweet Orange is still crying.â
âIâm going out!â Tang Yao is distressed to death, âSweet Orange is so young that she must be scared.â
Tang Duo stops him, âDad, if you go out now. Arenât we acting in vain?â
Tang Duo thought that this would not work on the way back to follow Sweet Orange. It was too lucky for the child to run away from home, so she must try a second and third time in this way. So they must find a way to let the kid Sweet Orange realize that running away from home will be terribleâ¦
So she called her family and told everyone to hide. When Sweet Orange came back, she would find that there was no one at home.
âThen when will we go out?â Anâan asks, âIâm hungry.â
Gungun looks at his watch and says, âOr I will take Anâan out to eat. By the way, bring some food back to you.â
âGo, go!â Tang Duo says, âWhen you come back, we should almost go out.â
Sweet Orange cries and climbs into the bed, muttering in her mouth, âBrother said that I wouldnât be afraid after falling asleep. I want to get to sleep soonâ¦â
Then she cries and falls asleep.
Lang Ruoxian is sent to check the situation and finds that Sweet Orange is asleep, and then everyone returns to the sitting room.
âJust let her sleep?â Tang Yao begins to feel distressed again, âDonât even wake her up to have dinner?â
Bai Susu cuts the fruit and comes out to serve, âLet her sleep. She has run for all the afternoon, and cried for a long time. She must be very tired.â
âIt wonât matter if she doesnât eat a meal, Dad.â Tang Duo feels exhausted, âI will sleep with her at night. If she wakes up in the middle of the night, I will get her food.â
Lang Ruoxian rubs her shoulders and says, âYou rest. I will accompany her.â
âYou have to work tomorrow!â Tang Duo leans into his arms and yawns, âNo wonder Sweet Orange is tired. I have been tired all the afternoon.â
Gungun and Wuyou come back with Anâan and take-away food. Everyone casually eats a bit and goes back to their rooms to rest. Anâan stops Tang Duo at the door of the room and looks at her, wishing to speak but stop on a second thought.
âWhatâs wrong?â Tang Duo squats down.
âMom, if I persuaded Sweet Orange well, would she not run away from home?â
Tang Duo smiles and says, âWhat does this have to do with you? Itâs Sweet Orangeâs own problem.â
âI wonât say that sheâs a fool anymore in the future.â Anâan cries when he finishes speaking.
Tang Duo is taken aback for Anâan rarely cries after the age of three. The children who went to kindergarten, including Sweet Orange, cried hard while he read the pictorial calmly aside.
âDonât cry. Donât cry!â Tang Duo hugs him in her arms, âI know that you actually loves Sweet Orange very much, right? Just everyone expresses their feelings differently. Anâan is Anâan. You donât need to learn what others do.â
Anâan rarely hugs Tang Duo like a kid before going back to sleep.
Tang Duo returns to the room to take a shower and finds that Lang Ruoxian has held Sweet Orange over.
âNot awake?â
âNo.â Lang Ruoxian dims the light, âBut she may have had a nightmare, and she just cried.â
Tang Duo looks at her sleeping daughter, âShe was scared! Iâm afraid that she will be scared for a long time.â
In fact, when she thought about this method she did think what if Sweet Orange was really frightened, but then she thought if she wasnât made aware of the terrible consequences of running away from home, it would be more troublesome in the future.
âTomorrow when she wakes up and sees that we are here, she will be okay.â Lang Ruoxian seems to know her concerns, kisses the corner of Tang Duoâs mouth and says, âGo to take a bath. I shall look after her.â
Sweet Orange has slept all night, but suddenly she wakes up around 5 oâclock in the morning and finds herself sleeping between Tang Duo and Lang Ruoxian. She thinks of something and starts crying.
âWhy are you crying?â Tang Duo sits up and yawns.
Sweet Orange rushes into her arms, âMom! Mom! Iâm the only one left at home, which is so horrible.â
âWhy was there no one at home?â Tang Duo asks, hugging her.Visit vi p novel. com
Sweet Orange cries and says, âBecause⦠Because I secretly ran out, and everyone⦠Everyone else went to look for me.â
âNow do you think it is right to sneak out?â
âNo⦠No.â Sweet Orange suddenly cries louder, âMom, I was wrong. I wonât sneak out anymore. Donât leave me alone.â
A pair of big hands hugs her up. Sweet Orange turns around and hugs Lang Ruoxian, âDad, I was wrong.â
âHungry?â Lang Ruoxian asks her.
Sweet Orange nods and then shakes her head, âI want to sleep with Mom and Dad.â
âEat something before going to sleep.â Lang Ruoxian touches her head, âYou have to remember what happened today, and if you do so next time, maybe you will stay alone at home all night.â
Sweet Orange imagines the scene, hugs Lang Ruoxian tightly and shakes her head hard, âNo, no, no! I will never run out alone again.â
Tang Duo goes downstairs to cook some food for Sweet Orange. She has already been very quiet. But Bai Susu still hears the movement.
âWoke up? Did she cry?â
âYes. Now sheâs holding her dad and doesnât let him go.â Tang Duo warms the fried noodles and porridge, âOkay, Mom, you donât have to worry about it. Hurry to sleep again.â
How can Bai Susu fall asleep? She follows up to peek at the door for a long time, making sure that there is nothing wrong with Sweet Orange before going downstairs.
Sweet Orange finishes eating. She and her parents sleep again for a while. Lang Ruoxian is late to go to the company today. Tang Duo hasnât moved, accompanying Sweet Orange to sleep. When she wakes up to see her mother is still there, she holds Tang Duo without letting her go.
âEveryone went to look for you yesterday. Should you apologize to everyone today?â Tang Duo asks when washing the face.
Sweet Orange immediately says, âMom, I see. I will go now!â
Bai Susu and Tang Yao are fidgeting in the sitting room. When they see Sweet Orange coming down, they reach out in a hurry.
âGrandpa! Grandma!â Sweet Orange rushes into Tang Yaoâs arms, âSorry, I was wrong. I will never run about casually again.â
Tang Yao is almost wet with tears when holding her, âYouâre going to scare me to death! Donât run about casually in the future.â
âSweet Orange, you should call them maternal grandpa and grandma!â Tang Duo follows her to go downstairs, âIâve told you many times. What will you call when your grandpa comes back from abroad?â
âAnyway, her grandpa is not here now!â Tang Yao immediately says, âWhat does it matter to call Grandpa?â
Sweet Orange peeks at Tang Duo and pounces into Bai Susuâs arms, âMaternal grandma, I was wrong. Iâm sorry to let you be worried!â
âGood girl!â Bai Susu responds, âThen you tell me. What did you do after running out yesterday?â
Sweet Orange tells about her experience yesterday, and then whispers to ask, âMaternal grandma, can I keep those two kittens?â
âYes, you can!â
âMom, you shouldnât promise her anything.â Tang Duo glances at Sweet Orange, âLulu is already at home.â
âBut Lulu doesnât play with me!â Sweet Orange yells, âAnd it only likes brother and sister.â
Tang Duo pokes her head, âFortunately, Gungun and Wuyou took Lulu to live in our house yesterday. If Lulu hears you say so, it will be very sad. Lulu treats you best in the family.â
âI promised the shop assistantsâ¦â Sweet Orange whispers.
Tang Duo ignores her. Just then the phone rings. She gets up to answer the phone. Tang Yao secretly winks at Sweet Orange. Sweet Orangeâs eyes light up. Then she nods hard.
When Anâan gets up to find Sweet Orange, Sweet Orange is reading how to raise kittens online.
âAre you going to have a cat?â Anâan asks.
Sweet Orange doesnât lift her head, âHmm!â
âWhere will you get the cat?â
âI will have it soon.â
Anâan is speechless.
âWhere did you go yesterday?â
âI told Grandpa⦠Maternal grandparents. You go to ask them!â
Anâan is speechless.
He walks to the door with a cold face. He thinks about it and says, âIf you want to do something in the future, remember to tell me.â
âWhy should I tell you?â Sweet Orange finally looks up.
âI⦠I will be with you.â Anâan whispers.
âWhat?â Sweet Orange doesnât hear clearly, âWhat did you say?â
Anâan glares at her and says, âFool, donât you have ears?â
After finishing talking, he runs away without waiting for her reply. Sweet Orange stamps her foot angrily, âWhen I have the cats, I will let Xiaobai and Xiaobaibai scratch you!â
The day Tang Duo sends Gungun and Wuyou to go on vacation, Tang Yao secretly takes Wuyou to the pet shop.
âSister, sister, I come to pick up Xiaobai and Xiaobaibai!â
The shop assistant is stunned for a moment, and then recognizes her, âItâs you, little girl!â
