"Dead?"

Xu Xiu suddenly felt a subtle heaviness in his heart, and even the photo in his hand seemed to have weight.

Xia Shuyu said that the woman in the photo had passed away.

She looked at the photos in silence.

Xia Shuyu also seemed to be caught up in some kind of emotion.

After a moment of silence, the atmosphere was interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone.

When Xu Xiu saw that it was the kindergarten calling, he picked up the phone without hesitation.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Xu, Xiaorang's mother?"

"It's me, it's Xiao Ran. What's wrong?"

When the teacher called at this time, Xu Xiu's first thought was whether something had happened to Xiao Rang.

I could clearly feel that the teacher on the other end of the phone was very cautious, as if he was choosing every word carefully.

"Hello, Ms. Xu. I'm the principal of the kindergarten. Xiaorang accidentally fell during an extracurricular rock climbing activity and scraped the skin on the palm of his hand. Our kindergarten doctor has already treated it. Do you think you need to come and see him?"

When Xu Xiu first heard that the little kid had fallen while rock climbing, he was almost scared, thinking that the injury was serious enough to warrant a special phone call. But then he heard the director say that it was just a scratch on the palm of his hand.

The ups and downs of her mood almost made her feel choked up, so she asked nervously:

"Is it just a scrape on the palm? Are there any other injuries?"

"We have checked it carefully and there are no other problems."

Xu Xiu finally felt relieved, but to be on the safe side, he still planned to go to the kindergarten.

She immediately stood up, put away the photos, and said to Xia Shuyu:

"I understand what you want to say. I have something to do right now. Let's talk when I come back. It's a good time for me to calm down."

Xia Shuyu also heard her call, so he asked with concern:

"Is it Xu Zhirang? Is he okay?"

"The kindergarten said it was fine."

Xu Xiu didn't stay any longer. After sending him out, he went to kindergarten.

On the way, she received a call from Shen Xingyi, and he also knew that Xiao Douding was injured in the kindergarten.

"I'm on my way to the kindergarten now. It shouldn't be a big problem. I'll go take a look and tell you later. You don't have to come yet."

Xu Xiu originally thought that he could just go and take a look by himself, but Shen Xingyi said that he was outside and was very close to the kindergarten.

In that case, Xu Xiu didn't say anything more.

*

Xu Xiu arrived at the kindergarten first. The little kid was sitting in the medical room with an extremely serious expression.

"Little Jean?"

"mom!"

After seeing Xu Xiu, he immediately stood up and was about to run towards her happily, but he thought of something and stopped awkwardly.

It was not until Xu Xiu walked up to him that he reluctantly leaned on Xu Xiu's legs.

Just now, the head teacher and the teachers had explained to Xu Xiu what had happened, and even immediately showed her the surveillance footage on their mobile phones.

In fact, the process was very simple. During the rock climbing class, the little kid didn't stand firmly when he landed, so his palm was scratched when he fell.

Not a big deal.

But due to his status as a little kid, no one in the kindergarten dared to take it lightly.

After all, the existence of this kindergarten is because Shen Xingyi funded it for Xiaodouding, so Xiaodouding is the owner.

Xu Xiu also understood their nervousness.

However, although he had already watched the surveillance video, Xu Xiu still patiently asked about the little boy's injuries.

The little kid stretched out his hands embarrassedly. There was a small wound on each palm, which was not serious and had already been applied with medicine.

"Does it still hurt?"

Little Bean shook his head:

"It didn't hurt at all, mom, and I didn't cry."

Xu Xiu smiled, touched his head and said approvingly:

"Not bad, you are worthy of being my mother's son!"

But Xiao Douding was still a little unhappy. He looked at the palm of his hand and complained quietly:

"Mom, it's all my fault for the poor quality of my hands."

Xu Xiu almost laughed out loud at the description of the little kid. She tried to hold it back before saying:

"Xiao Rang is still a child. Children have delicate skin and tender flesh, so it is easy for them to get hurt. This won't happen when you grow up."

"really?"

"Of course, adults have thick skin and are not easily hurt."

It was the first time that Xiao Douding heard the term "thick-skinned and thick-fleshed". After thinking about it carefully, he asked:

"Is Dad also thick-skinned?"

"Yes, your father is also thick-skinned."

As soon as Xu Xiu finished speaking, he heard the kindergarten teacher at the door shout:

"Mr. Shen."

Xu Xiu heard footsteps behind her. Her heart skipped a beat and she slowly turned her head, only to see Shen Xingyi standing behind her, looking at her quietly with his eyes lowered.

Xu Xiu pursed his lips guiltily and turned his head back silently.

Fortunately, Shen Xingyi didn't say much, he just asked about the little kid's injury.

After confirming that nothing was wrong, Xu Xiu looked at the nervous teachers and comforted them in return.

It is normal to get some minor injuries in a course like rock climbing. Besides, the equipment in the kindergarten is only three meters high and there are professional coaches, so Xu Xiu is relatively relieved.

Little Douding is not such a weak child. He feels embarrassed about this minor injury.

More importantly, if the kindergarten had to take such a minor injury seriously and ask her to come, Xu Xiu felt that her fragile little heart would not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, after her comfort, the kindergarten teachers also let go of the tense situation.

*

Xu Xiu and Shen Xingyi left together soon.

After leaving the kindergarten, Xu Xiu smelled a faint smell of alcohol on Shen Xingyi when he got closer.

"Have you been drinking?" she asked.

"Yeah, I was just entertaining my partners."

After drinking, Shen Xingyi's voice became more magnetic and his eyes became deeper. If you look closely, you will find that there is more intoxication in his eyes.

Xu Xiu rarely saw him drunk. The only time was the night he had just come here.

Shen Xingyi seemed to have drunk quite a bit of alcohol that time.

Looking at the man in front of him whose eyes sparkled due to drunkenness, Xu Xiu quickly drove away those charming thoughts, sobered herself up, and prepared to leave without even raising her head:

"I still have work to do, so I'm leaving now."

But just as she was about to take a step, Shen Xingyi grabbed her wrist:

"Wait a minute, I have something else to tell you."

Xu Xiu seemed to be burned by his palm, and quickly broke free and pulled her arm away. Facing Shen Xingyi's puzzled gaze, she pretended to be calm:

"Well, let's talk."

Shen Xingyi looked at the palm of his hand, then looked at Xu Xiu who was avoiding him, and a surging wave could not help but rise in his dark eyes.

But soon, everything returned to calm.

*

In the end, it was Shen Xingyi who got into Xu Xiu's car.

But what Shen Xingyi was about to say was beyond Xu Xiu's expectations.

"Xia Shuyu? Did you investigate him?"

Xu Xiu looked at Shen Xingyi in surprise.

Shen Xingyi nodded slightly without feeling guilty.

He did ask someone to investigate Xia Shuyu, just when he went to see Xu Xiu last time.
