001. That little tenderness

"Ah...so hot..."

At this moment, it was the heat. Under the sun, Qiao Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and rushed home with all his strength.

It was already September, but the sunshine now didn't feel that it was about to fall. Looking at the streets, the air still looked a little distorted, and the asphalt road seemed to be sticky. If you step on it, it didn't feel very good. Well, it was very bad.

Thinking of such weather, Qiao Feng really regretted that he shouldn't have stopped taking the bus just to save so few dollars. Now, he really regrets it very much.

In such hot weather, if you don’t hurry home, the result may be unimaginable! Although the family is not very wealthy and the “business” is not very good, compared with the “situation” at home, what is these few dollars worth?

After erasing the sweat from his head, Qiao Feng took another breath, raised his energy, and advanced forward with great strides. Finally, the two stops slipped away under his feet. While saving such a little money, his back was already soaked with sweat, and his shirt was tightly pressed against his back, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He raised his head and looked at his home.

This is not a big home, just a four-story residential area on the second floor.

The community is not a high-end community. The neighbors in the street are crowded together. The flower beds next to them are raised to plant some small vegetables. The beams hanging in the air are drying a lot of clothes. Some clothes that have not been dried are dripping like that, occasionally hitting the heads of pedestrians, bringing others a little "cool".

Every floor facing east, the external air conditioner of every family was on, which made Qiao Feng feel even hotter. He frowned, lifted the file bag under his armpit, rushed through the "fire wall" composed of air conditioners, followed the stairs to the second floor, and came to the door of his own house.

"Rain, Snow, Wind Detective Office"

On the slightly shabby door, there is a gilded sign hanging. And below this sign there is another slightly smaller sign.

"Accepting various cases, no matter whether you have any troubles or troubles, Yuxuefeng Detective Office will serve you wholeheartedly. As long as you need it, from formal cases to petty theft and family disputes, we will implement the principle of service to the end and warmly welcome every guest who visits."

Qiao Feng looked at the brand and couldn't help but smile. Nowadays, the business of the so-called detective firm is of course not much better. It is good to be able to keep it hard like now. Of course, formal commissions for criminal cases are absolutely impossible. The only ones in recent years are probably the kind of small cases like catching an affair.

Open the door with the key, and the coolness in the room suddenly came to my face. Qiao Feng took a breath, walked in immediately, and closed the door with his backhand.

"Rain? Have you turned on the air conditioner?"

As soon as he entered the room, Qiao Feng asked loudly. The small room in front of him, which was only more than 20 square meters, was his current everything.

The small room is divided into two, and the outside is a simple living room and the inside is a bedroom. At this moment, the door leading to the inner room is closed without any response.

"rain?"

Qiao Feng seemed a little panicked and hurried over and knocked on the door. But soon, a corresponding knock came from inside. Hearing this sound, Qiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.

"It's fine. Keep resting, I'll come right away."

Qiao Feng placed the folder in his hand on the table, picked up the kettle next to him and went to the sink outside the room to put water. Then he placed it on the public gas stove on the walkway outside, lit the fire, and boiled the water.

While boiling water, he began to pick up the rag and go back to the small room to clean the room. After taking off the sweat-stained shirt on his body, he wiped his body with a towel slightly. In the sun, Qiao Feng's body looked even stronger. His streamlined body was matched with powerful hands and broad back, which made him look like a world of difference from the simple suit he had just worn.

Soon, the water on the stove boiled. After scrubbing, Qiao Feng began to take out the vegetables he bought yesterday from the refrigerator, put them in the sink to clean, and remove the sludge and yellow cabbage leaves on it bit by bit. Then he set up a pan, cut a piece of meat into pieces, and put it in the pot to start cooking.

After about an hour of busyness, the housework was finished. Qiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Before handling dinner, he cooked a bowl of noodles and used the soy sauce soup from last night as the soup base and put the noodles in good condition. Qiao Feng walked back to the room with this large bowl of noodles and knocked on the door with his feet.

"Yu, are you hungry? I'm in for lunch."

Qiao Feng raised his feet and turned the door handle with his feet. The moment the door was pushed open, a stream of air conditioning rushed out of it instantly! Qiao Feng couldn't help but tremble, raised his head in confusion, and looked at the temperature of the air conditioner on the wall.

“16 degrees?!”

After being surprised, Qiao Feng saw the bed in the inner room at a glance. At this moment, the quilt on the bed had been pulled open, and there seemed to be a small thing wrapped inside. Seeing the door open, the thick quilts began to squirm. In a short while, a small face emerged from the end of the quilt. He looked at Qiao Feng with a slightly melancholy gaze.

"Rain? What's wrong with you?!"

Seeing the little girl who seemed to be only eleven or 2 years old in the bedding, Qiao Feng was shocked and immediately put the face in his hand on the computer desk beside him, walked forward, and hugged the little girl with the quilt and hugged her in his arms.

"What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Qiao Feng's eyes were a little nervous, and his care was not hidden at all. The little girl hiding in the quilt and wrapped tightly in layers of quilts looked at Qiao Feng with some sadness with her slightly ink blue pupils. After a while, she opened her mouth and said weakly—

"Afeng... cold..."

"Of course it's cold!"

After knowing the crux of the problem, Qiao Feng quickly picked up the remote control next to him and turned off the air conditioner that was still breathing air conditioner. Then, he opened the doors and windows to let the scorching air outside merge with the coldness in the room, and did his best to make the air warm.

"Why is the air conditioner so low? It's easy to catch a cold."

Before the air became comfortable, Qiao Feng continued to hold the little girl, looking at her with some care and pamperingness.

The little girl wrapped in insects looked at Qiao Feng with her ink blue eyes and said in confusion: "But, Afeng said, turn on the air conditioner if you feel hot."

"Yes, I said it. But, don't drive so low in the future, just drive to twenty-six or seven degrees. If it's low, it's cold."

The little girl lowered her head, as if she was absorbing this "common sense". After a moment, she raised her little face again and said timidly—

"But, Afeng, hot..."

"Even if it is hot, the temperature should be lowered a little bit. It is absolutely not allowed to be directly hit so low."

Qiao Feng raised his face and scolded him for such a thing. Seeing a face like Qiao Feng, the girl called "Rain" finally nodded and stopped talking.

After the "learning", Qiao Feng smiled again. As the temperature in the room gradually increased, he let go of his hand and peeled off the quilts layer by layer from the rain. Soon, the small body inside was exposed.

Yu was wearing a light yellow nightgown, which was very ordinary, and was bought from the cheap clothes wholesale market. His petite body was shrouded in this slightly wide nightgown, and he looked very cute.

Unlike her petite figure, this girl has long hair almost the same length as her body. The black hair is like satin. When she reaches out to touch it, it feels extremely smooth. Combined with the girl's small and childish face, it makes people even more happy.

"Are you hungry? Have a meal first."

Qiao Feng smiled and let go of his hand holding her. But when he let go, Yu immediately stretched out his finger and gently pulled Qiao Feng's vest.

"A Feng, it's still a little cold..."

The tender voice was begging, Qiao Feng lowered his head, and saw the little girl raising her head and looking at him with a little helplessness with the watery ink blue eyes. There was no way, Qiao Feng could only hold the girl in his arms, hugged her shoulders with both hands, and sat on the bed. Yu seemed to enjoy the current situation, closed her eyes, leaned against Qiao Feng's chest, and a naive smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The air conditioner has been mediated.

Only the old wall-mounted electric fan was blowing there, sending a slightly cool wind to the two of them. Outside the window, cicadas cries came from the trunks in the flower beds. Combined with the hustle and sound of the electric fan, the passage of time seemed to be no longer so important at this moment...

Gulululu………

Finally, a voice broke the serene situation. Qiao Feng lowered his head and looked at Yu in his arms. Yu also raised his head and opened his mouth to Qiao Feng innocence. Then, she stretched out her hands, hooked Qiao Feng's neck, and smiled-

"Food, Afeng. I want to eat."

"Okay, okay, let's have a meal."

Because Yu hooked Qiao Feng's neck, he couldn't let go. But it didn't matter. Qiao Feng held the little girl's body with one left hand and stood up directly. Her small body was nothing to the tall and strong Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng hugged her with one hand, walked to the TV, turned on the TV, and took the bowl of noodles that were almost cold. After that, he held Yu and sat back on the bed. The two of them started eating while watching the TV.

The family is poor, so the conditions are naturally a little more harsh. However, Qiao Feng had no complaints about taking care of the rain. He looked at her with a smile, and after the little girl had eaten half of it and filled her stomach, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and swept away all the remaining surfaces like a wind blowing the clouds.
