Chapter 992: Going on a Mission (22)

In the reading area, the lights were dim. Xiaobai was holding a picture book and reading. Xiaomi held her cheeks with both hands and listened attentively.

Zhang Tan walked over quietly, and Xiaomi immediately noticed him. She looked up suddenly, showing joy on her face, but when she saw that it was Zhang Tan, her joy quickly subsided, and she smiled politely with her teeth bared, but did not speak.

"Why haven't you gone to bed yet?" Zhang Tan asked.

"Sister Xiaomin hasn't come to pick up Xiaomi yet." Xiaobai said.

Zhang Tan sat down and said, "Is she on a mission?"

Xiaomi shook her head and said she didn't know. Ding Jiamin didn't tell her that she was going out to perform a mission tonight. She thought she would come to pick her up normally tonight, but it was already past ten o'clock.

Zhang Tan comforted her that Ding Jiamin must have a mission on her, so she couldn't come for a while.

"Have you called?" he asked.

Xiaomi nodded and said that Teacher Xiaoliu had called, but the phone was turned off and she couldn't get in touch.

Zhang Tan: "Let's go to my house and play, Xiaobai, invite Xiaomi to come."

Xiaobai took Xiaomi's hand and went home, and suddenly pinched his nose and said: "You drank!"

Zhang Tan exhaled and smelled, and Xiaobai took Xiaomi and immediately ran away.

Is it so obvious? He didn't drink much.

"I'll go brush my teeth." Zhang Tan said.

The three of them returned home, Zhang Tan asked Xiaobai to entertain Xiaomi, and he went downstairs to the second floor to find Teacher Xiaoliu to learn about Ding Jiamin's situation.

Teacher Xiaoliu was quite distressed, saying that Ding Jiamin's mobile phone was turned off and now he couldn't contact her. She didn't say she wouldn't come tonight before, and there was no sign beforehand.

Zhang Tan comforted her that it might be an important emergency task, and it was normal to turn off the phone.

"If it doesn't work, let Xiaomi and Xiaobai sleep together tonight, you can get off work normally, don't worry, I will take care of it."

"Thank you, boss."

Zhang Tan looked into the dormitory. It was dim at night, and only a few floor lamps in the corners were on with a faint light, and he couldn't see how many children were sleeping inside.

Teacher Xiao Liu took the initiative to say: "There are 8 children here, Xiao Nian is also here."

Zhang Tan nodded and returned home. Xiao Bai was very good at entertaining children. He sat on the sofa with Xiaomi, accompanied by two dolls. They were sitting on the sofa with their feet up and drinking Little Bear drinks. There was a pile of grapes on the coffee table, watching TV. The TV was playing "Little Drama Bones".

The two children were watching with great interest, well, mainly Xiao Bai. Although Xiaomi's eyes were on the TV, once there was any movement around her, she would immediately look over to distract her attention.

When Zhang Tan came back, she looked over at the first time, probably thinking that Ding Jiamin came to pick her up.

"Xiaomi, your sister Xiaomin has an operation tonight, which is very urgent, so she may not be able to come back. You can sleep with Xiaobai tonight."

Xiaomi was stunned and asked Xiaomin with concern if her sister was in danger.

She had lived with Ding Jiamin for two years and knew that police work was more dangerous. She had seen Ding Jiamin's arm injured when she went out to perform a mission before.

Zhang Tan told her that there was no danger, but it was more urgent.

Xiaomi nodded, said "oh", and looked back at the TV, absent-minded.

Zhang Tan knew that she must be in a bad mood, so he asked Xiaobai to take Xiaomi to take a bath and then go to bed, as it was getting late.

Xiaobai tutted, finished the Little Bear drink, jumped off the sofa, put the bottle on the coffee table, and suddenly glanced at Zhang Tan and sighed like a little adult.

"..." Zhang Tan asked in surprise, "Why are you sighing?"

"ε=(ο｀*))) Alas, I don't know why I'm bothering you." Xiaobai said.

Zhang Tan: (O_O)?

"Why are you drinking again? Don't drink." Xiaobai said, and went to the refrigerator to get another bottle of Little Bear drink, handed it to Zhang Tan, and asked him to drink it, saying that drinking this would not make him drunk.

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "The Little Bear drink has this magical function? This is the first time I heard of it."

Xiao Bai said proudly, "There are so many things you don't know. This is my strong point."

"Thank you for your strong point. I'd better not drink it. I drank a lot of water tonight and my stomach is bloated. I'm going to brush my teeth and wash my face now. I must not smell of alcohol when I come out."

Xiao Bai took the Little Bear drink naturally, secretly delighted, inserted the straw, and continued to suck.

After Zhang Tan washed up, he asked Xiao Bai and Xiaomi to go too. He was worried about them playing in the water, so he waited in the living room and asked about the progress inside from time to time.

The night was getting darker and darker. The wind blew outside the window, and the trees rustled. Xiao Bai and Xiaomi returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed. Zhang Tan was telling them a bedtime story.

Xiao Bai fell asleep soon, and Xiaomi also heard light breathing. Zhang Tan gradually stopped making noises, quietly turned off the desk lamp, and left.

The door closed gently, and Xiaomi, who was asleep, opened his eyes immediately. He was not sleepy at all, staring at the ceiling in a daze, then got up, sat on the bed and looked out the window. The yard was empty, without a single person.

Zhang Tan did not return to the bedroom, but was writing a script in the study. The Legend of Bai Suzhen is almost finished, and after this is completed, the Little Drama Bone version will be soon.

At the same time, he is also writing the script he created in his previous life. Not only writing it, but also constantly improving it based on the accumulated experience and grasp of the market.

Having written so many works of others in his previous life, he wants to put his own works back on the screen and accept the test of the audience and the market.

It is quiet at night, and the crowing of the chicken sounds in the corner, making a beeping sound. It's good to get used to it. If it's gone, it's a bit uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the cell phone on the desk beeped and vibrated twice.

In the past, he would turn his cell phone to silent mode when working and put it away from himself. He would only look at his cell phone after finishing work.

But tonight, because of Ding Jiamin's matter, he was worried that she would call at any time, so he left his cell phone with him.

He picked it up and saw that it was indeed a text message from Ding Jiamin.

The content of the text message was very brief: I am on a mission, please take care of Xiaomi for me for one night, thank you.

There were two typos in it, and it was obvious that she sent it in a hurry. As expected, it was almost the same as guessed. She was on an emergency mission and should not be able to use her cell phone during the mission, so she did not send the text message until now.

Zhang Tan thought about it and replied with two words: received.

Just as he put down the phone, it rang again. He picked it up and saw that it was from Aunt Huang.

Aunt Huang came to ask if Xiaomi had slept. She was ready to get off work, but she was still worried about Xiaomi before getting off work.

It was already midnight, and the children in Xiaohongma were all picked up. Teacher Xiaoliu and Aunt Huang were all ready to get off work.

Zhang Tan assured them and went out to the yard to see them off. Lao Li simply packed up his things and slowly returned to the village. Zhang Tan locked the door, walked around the yard to check, and returned home to prepare for bed. Before going to bed, he went back to Xiaobai's bedroom to check and saw that the two children were sleeping soundly.
