It was past 2:30 in the middle of the night, and Yu Mingxia was not asleep.

Zhao Zijian vaguely guessed what was going on.

He replied: "What's wrong?"

Yu Mingxia replied in a second, "Is it convenient to speak?"

Zhao Zijian hesitated for a moment, but still found the headphones and chose to speak the voice.

The opposite side quickly connected, and Yu Mingxia said: "I'm really embarrassed to disturb you so late. Xinxin was frightened. She finally had nightmares when she fell asleep, and cried when she woke up, and said she was afraid. I really don't know what to do. Can you... Xinxin keep calling me brother, I..."

Her voice was exhausted, and even a hint of hoarseness was slightly.

"Well……"

Zhao Zijian was a little overwhelmed.

But at this moment, a little girl's voice, with some crying voice, came over with grievance, "Brother hugs... Xinxin is afraid..."

Zhao Zijian reached out and pinched his forehead and said, "Okay, then you send me the address and I'll go there."

But he immediately asked again: "By the way, that...Xinxin's father is at home, right? I mean..."

The opposite side hesitated for a moment and said, "Her father has... passed away."

Zhao Zijian was stunned for a moment.

But he quickly said, "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay!" the opposite side said quickly, "There are no buses at this time, and it's probably not easy to find a taxi. I'm sorry to ask you to have a trip. Why don't you send me the address and I'll drive to pick you up? I'll drive, hurry!"

Zhao Zijian hesitated for a moment, but did not insist, so he told her the name of his community and said that he would go downstairs to the north gate of the community to wait.

Yu Mingxia kept saying thank you. When she hung up the phone, Zhao Zijian couldn't help but think of Liu Xinxin's little face, a child, who lost her father at such a young age, and now she has encountered such a thing again. Even an old guy like Zhao Zijian has long been used to life and death, but she still feels a little distressed.

He sighed, and he found clothes to put them on, turned around and folded the half-made test paper into his pocket. After thinking about it, he didn't know when he would come back, so he left a note for his parents on the dining table, telling them that he had gotten up early to go to school, and then he carefully opened the door and went downstairs.

It was a cold winter night, at two or three o'clock in the morning, which was the coldest time. Even a dog could not be seen inside and outside the community, and the road outside was also black and the whole street seemed to have been frozen to death.

Zhao Zijian slowly wandered outside the north gate not long after a while, and saw a car turning around with bright headlights. After a while, he stopped in front of Zhao Zijian.

The window glass fell, Zhao Zijian bent over, and Yu Mingxia inside was also looking over and said, "It's quite cold, get in the car! Xinxin is in the back row..."

Before she could say that, a pair of small hands had already reached out from the middle of the two seats in the front row, and kept calling out "Brother, brother".

Zhao Zijian opened the back door and sat in, and the little girl rushed over immediately.

While talking to Yu Mingxia, Zhao Zijian picked her up and hugged her on her legs.

This should be a Mercedes-Benz S. The body is very wide, and the rear seats can be crossed almost with legs crossed. The seats are quite comfortable looking through the central armrest of the front row. Although Yu Mingxia was wearing a slim windbreaker, there was a little floral cloth on the cuffs and her hair was casually loose. It can be seen that she was wearing pajamas at home, and now she just put on a coat and came out.

While driving skillfully, she said, "I'm really sorry. I'll disturb you so late, so that you can't rest. But I really have no choice. Seeing Xinxin crying all the time, I feel very uncomfortable..."

Zhao Zijian smiled and looked down at Liu Xinxin, who looked like an octopus in his arms, and said, "It's okay. It's normal for a child to have nightmares when he is so frightened. If you have time these days, you can spend more time with her and take her out for fun. In a few days, it's good that my memory fades."

Yu Mingxia said: "Yes, I have already asked for leave. I will do nothing next and stay with her. I just promised her that I will take her to the playground tomorrow... Xinxin?"

After an inadvertent glance, she glanced back through the rearview mirror in the car, and then she was surprised to find that her daughter did not say or cry or move.

"Shh!"

Zhao Zijian made a gesture to silence her.

It turned out that in just a few minutes, she actually fell asleep in Zhao Zijian's arms.

The car stopped slowly, and Yu Mingxia looked over and saw her daughter huddled in Zhao Zijian's arms. Even though she fell asleep, her little hands were still firmly holding Zhao Zijian's sleeves.

She couldn't help feeling sad suddenly.

She barely smiled and said to Zhao Zijian in a low voice: "She is actually sleepy, but she is just afraid and dare not sleep." She looked at her daughter for a while, raised her head, and said: "Thank you!"

…………

The car was not driving fast, but extremely stable.

Late at night, there were almost no cars on the road. In just over a dozen minutes, the car had already driven into a community and into the underground garage.

After parked the car, Yu Mingxia turned around and asked, "Why should I hug her?"

Zhao Zijian shook his head and said, "Stop changing people, I'll carry her up!" After that, he carefully opened the car door and wanted to get out of the car, but as soon as his body moved, Liu Xinxin in his arms suddenly woke up and cried.

Zhao Zijian quickly coaxed her, and Yu Mingxia got out of the car and came over from the front door.

Seeing that her mother and brother were there, she heard that she wanted to carry her home. She was so sleepy that she couldn't do it. Then she closed her eyes with confidence, but then opened them immediately, looked at Zhao Zijian pitifully, and said, "Is it okay for brother to accompany Xinxin? Xinxin is afraid..."

Zhao Zijian smiled and picked her up as he got out of the car and went upstairs, saying, "Don't worry, my brother doesn't go anywhere, just be by your side and sleep with you! Be good, you won't be afraid when you wake up!"

She smiled sweetly and closed her eyes.

…………

Yu Mingxia's home is on the 9th floor. When she opened the door, she had exquisite decoration, but the house didn't seem to be big.

Zhao Zijian changed her slippers at the door, and Yu Mingxia pointed to her in the direction of the small bedroom. He hugged Liu Xinxin and pushed the door in, carefully putting her on the bed.

The little guy opened his eyes in a daze again, as if he had seen Zhao Zijian, reached out and grabbed his sleeve, then closed his eyes and fell asleep in a deep sleep.

Zhao Zijian was guarding the bed for a while and felt that she was almost asleep, so he reached out and gently placed it on her forehead. Suddenly, a stream of spiritual energy was transported over. In just half a minute, she saw her little face, which was already sleeping, and her expression slowly relaxed. Even the little hand holding Zhao Zijian's sleeves relaxed without realizing it.
