âHuh?â Alva was too engrossed in his thoughts that he hadnât paid attention to what Bai Qingqing said.
Molly also said excitedly, âThatâs right, thatâs right. Their age is close and theyâd definitely be able to get along.â
Only then did Alva manage to guess what Bai Qingqing said. He quickly carried Anna to Bai Qingqing, placing her down on the grass.
The grass was very clean. Lush grass grew densely packed together, not showing any hint of soil. Small blue flowers occasionally decorated them, and the entire stretch of grass looked like a floral carpet.
Anna was very lively and started crawling toward Bai Qingqingâs side the moment she was placed on the ground. She supported herself on the rock Bai Qingqing was seated on and stood up by herself.
âAhh! Ahh!â Anna pointed at Anâan and cried out.
Bai Qingqing looked at Annaâs soft and short legs in surprise, then at the small hands she was using to support herself on the rock. She found it unbelievable that such a young child knew how to walk.
Anâan was over three months older than Anna, and it should be time for her to learn to walk too.
Therefore, Bai Qingqing went along with Annaâs request, placing Anna by her side, hoping that Anâan could stand up under Annaâs lead.
Anâan lay down on the ground the moment she was placed down. She assumed the same pose she had when she was in her mommyâs arms, sticking out her butt in a sitting pose.
Anna was very happy. She let go of the rock and wobbly walked over to Anâanâs head, trying to sit down slowly.
However, she was too small and her clothes were heavy. Anna was midway in trying to sit down when she fell down on her butt. It didnât hurt and she didnât cry. She just smiled as she grabbed onto Anâanâs hair.
Anâan just accepted whatever came to her. Her head shook to the left and right from Annaâs tugging, but she didnât retaliate.
âAnna, knock it off!â Molly immediately called out to stop her.
Bai Qingqing thought that Anna wouldnât understand, but she didnât expect her to pause for a moment. She looked at her mommy, clearly understanding that she wasnât really angry, then continued to willfully grab onto Anâanâs hair.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Qingqing let out a sigh in her heart. With the comparison, she couldnât help but feel worried about the problem with Anâanâs growth.
Thankfully, Anâan finally couldnât stand the disturbance anymore and turned her body to lay on her stomach, twisting her little butt as she crawled further away.
Anna let out a sharp cry in excitement. Children who had just learned how to walk wouldnât be able to sit still. She stood up, then gave chase after Anâan with unsteady footsteps.
As childrenâs heads accounted for a larger proportion of their bodies, Annaâs body was clearly tilted when she walked. To avoid falling, she had no choice but to run quickly to the front, letting her legs catch up to her head to stabilize the center of gravity.
Not long later, Anna chased up to Anâan. She then slowed down, her body swayed unsteadily. In the end, her head still pressed down her body and she fell onto Anâanâs body with a great impact.
Anâan was immediately flattened to the ground, her body assuming a widely spread out pose. She moved her limbs as if she was swimming, looking like a tortoise with a shell on its back.
Anna was afraid that Anâan would run off, so she tried hard to press down on her so that Anâan couldnât crawl away.
The adults started laughing loudly, and Bai Qingqing couldnât help but smile too. However, her heart still ached for her child, and she walked over quickly, saving Anâan from the hands of the female fiend. She received Annaâs complaining gaze.
Thankfully, Bai Qingqing didnât bring Anâan away, so Anna suppressed her tears.
Bai Qingqing wanted to teach Anâan to walk, so she squatted down and held onto Anâan by her armpits, letting her stand upright.
However, Anâan refused to exert any strength. Her two legs, which were usually very strong when kicking others, were now soft like noodles. Bai Qingqing only had to lift her slightly for her legs to dangle in the air.
Anna went to grab Anâanâs hand again, shaking it to the left and right to express her delight.
