The panda cub didn’t look at him, but was trying hard to climb onto the chair next to him. He supported himself with his small hands and kept reaching up with his short legs, almost rolling into the chair.
Enrico frowned.
The waitress next to him looked at the child with joy on her face, holding a tray. “Isn’t he so cute?”
The father was very handsome, so she didn’t dare to look directly at him, but could only look at the very cute child more.
“…”
Cute?
Enrico didn’t approve of this description.
The little panda climbed up the chair with great effort, then turned around and sat down, looking at the waitress with a questioning look, ‘How much?’
His voice was so young that it could drip with water.
“Twenty yuan,” the waitress smiled gently.
“Oh,” the little panda nodded, kneeling upright in the chair, unloading the small schoolbag from his shoulders and placing it on the table under the sun umbrella. He unzipped it and pulled out a few bills.
He looked at the one on the left, then the one on the right, and finally frowned slightly as he looked at Enrico and asked sincerely, “Which one should I give her?”
Enrico was considering what mode of transport to take to leave, when he was suddenly asked this question. He looked at the little panda with some confusion, “Me?”
“Yes,” the little panda held up the banknote in his hand, “which one is twenty?”
“You can’t count?” Enrico snorted.
After saying that, he leaned back and realized that he had been really unpredictable today. He had inexplicably stopped the child and then inexplicably replied to the other person.
The little panda knelt on the chair and said seriously, pinching the banknote, “I’m only three years old, isn’t it normal not to know how to count?”
“…”
You’re quite defiant.
Enrico looked at his small face, which was mostly blocked by the sunglasses, and didn’t say anything.
The little panda also sensed that the man in front of him didn’t seem to want to talk to him, and suddenly felt a little unhappy.
“…”
The waitress on the side felt that the atmosphere between the father and son was a little strange, and smiled as she pulled out a 20-denomination bill and invited them to enjoy their meal.
The little panda looked in the direction the waitress left, then turned to Enrico and asked seriously, “Did she lie to the child?”
“Isn’t it normal for an adult to lie to a three-year-old?” Enrico returned the words to him and got up to leave.
After taking a few steps, his left leg felt as heavy as lead.
Enrico looked down with a dark face, and saw that the little red panda had slipped out of his chair at some point and was now standing there hugging his leg, looking up at him with a small face.
“What are you doing?” Enrico’s voice was cold.
“I’m buying you some juice,” the little guy said, hugging him with one arm while pointing to the table next to them with the other.
“No, let go,” Enrico’s voice was even colder.
When his face fell, everyone in the consortium was terrified, but the little guy in front of him was obviously fearless, hugging his legs and not letting go. “Then take me with you.”
“Did you fall and hurt your brain?” Enrico looked at him coldly.
“I want to go with you.”
The little panda rotated around his legs, turned in front of him, and then hugged his legs and sat on his shoes.
“…”
What a nutcase.
Enrico didn’t bother arguing with him, bent down, grabbed the shirt on the back of his clothes, picked him up, transferred him to the chair, and walked away with his legs raised.
The little panda grabbed the school bag on the table and slid down from the chair again, following him deftly.
Enrico went up the high steps to a dock square, surrounded by two two-way streets, next to which was the taxi pick-up area.
A row of taxis were parked there.
Enrico glanced at the balance on his phone. He had now come to the point where he had to take a taxi.
With a cold face, he opened the door of a taxi, leaned in and closed the door.
The driver in front, sitting upright, smiled and said, “Children are not allowed to sit in the front seat. Go sit with your daddy.”
On this side of the border, everyone calls their parents daddy and mummy, even if they are old.
Kid?
Enrico tilted his head, and a small, furry head popped up between the front passenger seat and the driver’s seat. It was the little panda.
The little guy grinned at him, climbed over from the front, and fell over unsteadily, rolling to his feet.
Is this a wheel? It keeps rolling.
“Get down,” Enrico said impatiently. What’s going on? He’s still hanging on to him.
“No way.” The little panda got back up and sat next to him, ‘I’m so pretty and cute, someone will take me home and raise me.’
“…” Enrico sat there, raised his hand and pressed his temple, the tattoo on his tiger’s mouth arrogant and domineering.
This is a cub, he can’t be so animalistic as to kill even a cub.
The driver was sitting in the front, looking at them in the rearview mirror, thinking that they were just father and son having a little tiff. He smiled and said, “Sir, where to?”
“No more.” Enrico pushed the door open and got out of the car.
The little panda hurriedly followed and rolled down, standing next to him with a small schoolbag in his arms.
Enrico casually pulled up his pants and squatted down. His dark eyes coldly looked at the little man in front of him, ‘Do you know what the bad guys do to lost children? They break your arms and legs so you can crawl and beg for food.’
While saying this, he raised one hand and gave the little panda’s arm a firm grip, his knuckles tightening.
The little panda looked at him with his school bag in his arms. Not only did he not cry, there was even little fear in his young face. He asked back in a childish voice, “Do you have any money?” The man in front of him squatted down, and his pants pockets didn’t bulge, obviously there was nothing in his pockets.
“…” Enrico narrowed his eyes.
The little panda opened his school bag, inside was a pocket of money that had been grabbed in a mess, and a book called “Early Thinking Education”.
“Oh, this isn’t it.”
The little panda looked down, grabbed the early childhood education book with his small hands and threw it into the trash can next to him with a very dashing move.
His true nature as a school failure was revealed in an instant.
After throwing it away, the little panda looked seriously at the handsome man in front of him and said, “You see, I have a lot of money. I’ll spend it on you if you let me follow you, okay?”
He didn’t know any numbers, but he was good at business.
“Do I look like someone who is short of money?” Enrico sneered.
Hearing this, the little panda was a little confused, and glanced at his trouser pocket again. It was still empty, so he nodded vigorously, “Yes.”
“…”
Enrico’s tongue nudged his cheek, and his deep gaze circled the little guy’s bag.
There were many large denomination bills, and indeed he was richer than he was now.
He asked himself if he was a person with no sense of morality. If he were to do a good deed and send a troublesome child home, he would find it annoying. Besides, this adult could not even keep an eye on a child, so he deserved to be taught a lesson for two days.
Why not…
“Book a room for me,” Enrico quickly made a decision.
Upon hearing that he had finally agreed, the little panda was so happy that he revealed a set of white teeth, “Yes!”
