âLulu, drink some milk, eat slowly, donât choke!â Xu Chaomu handed a carton of milk to the little guy.
âHmm!â The little one stretched out his hand to receive it.
He ate breakfast very obediently, and Xu Chaomuâs heart melted watching him.
Especially when his long, dark eyelashes fluttered, the more she looked, the happier she became.
The sunlight shone on the little fellow, making his little face blush like a red apple.
The warmth in Xu Chaomuâs heart also rose bit by bit. Nie Chenglang was right, âif your heart is toward the sun, there is no need for sadness.â
Nie Chenglang gently touched the little guyâs head and tenderly asked, âWhere are your mom and dad?â
The little fellow paused, pouted his lips and said, âMy dad is at work. He had surgery to do early in the morning, very busy, very busy. My mom is waiting for him outside the surgery room. They just left me outside to play by myself.â
Right after the little one finished speaking, a man and a woman walked over.
Both the man and the woman were tall, with the man wearing a white lab coat and having the typical look of an Englishman. The woman, on the other hand, was in high spirits, dressed in a blue coat and exuded style.
When the little fellow saw these two people coming, he turned his back, sticking his butt up high.
Humph, not talking to them.
Xu Chaomu immediately understood, these might be Luluâs parents!
The woman, upon seeing Lulu having breakfast, came over and smiled at Nie Chenglang and Xu Chaomu.
She sat down beside the little guy: âLulu, having breakfast? Are you having fun? Is the snowman ready?â
The little fellow just wouldnât acknowledge her, burying his head and continuously munching on his pizza.
âStill angry at daddy? Daddyâs surgery is done. Heâs come out to play with you, and mommy will accompany you too.â
âLiar! Youâre all liars! You wonât play for even five minutes before daddy gets called away to surgery again! Cheaters, youâre all cheaters! I donât believe you anymore! Go away.â
The little fellow was particularly angry and ignored them.
The woman helplessly shrugged her shoulders: âLulu, daddy has turned off his phone this time, he wonât be called away again. Do you want to build a snowman or go skiing? Daddy and mommy will take you.â
âIâm not going with you, I want to play with sister and brother.â The little guy refused to agree.
Nie Chenglang tried to persuade him: âLulu, your dad works so hard for the family. Think about it, where does the money for your breakfast every day come from? Where does the money for your clothes come from? Besides, your dadâs job is very noble, saving lives. Just think, each time your dad operates, he might save a personâs life, which is so great.â
Only then did the little fellow keep quiet, nibbling on the pizza.
âLulu, donât you think what brother is saying is right?â Nie Chenglang said.
Xu Chaomu couldnât help but give Nie Chenglang a thumbs-up, not expecting that he really knew how to coax kids.
The little fellow seemed to be persuaded, but still pouted.
Nie Chenglang continued to convince him: âLook, your dad has come over as soon as he had time, which shows he always keeps you in mind. But performing surgeries is his job, and itâs also about a patientâs life. So, you need to understand your dad. Now, he has time, and he has come to play with you voluntarily, so why not go and have fun with dad and mom, okay?â
The little guy was finally convinced and nodded his head.
The little fellowâs dad came over and picked him up from the chair: âDaddy will accompany you all day today.â
âMommy will too,â the woman said. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Only then did the little fellow burst into laughter.
The woman walked up to Nie Chenglang and Xu Chaomu and smiled slightly: âThank you for taking care of Lulu and even buying him breakfast. I really appreciate it. Sorry to have bothered you.â
Nie Chenglang laughed: âItâs okay, itâs a kind of fate that we get along so well with Lulu.â
The woman gave Nie Chenglang a thumbs-up, then smiled at Xu Chaomu: âYour husband is really gentle.â
Err⦠Xu Chaomu was at a loss for a response.
Husband?
It was Nie Chenglang who explained: âIâm not her husband. Weâre just ordinary friends.â
âOh, oh,â the woman apologized with a smile, âI thought you two matched so well, I assumed you were a couple.â
Nie Chenglang didnât want Xu Chaomu to feel awkward and laughed: âIâm an older man, and she is much younger than me.â
âHaha, youâre joking.â
Just then, Luluâs dad picked Lulu up, carrying him on his shoulders.
Lulu probably hadnât felt like this in a long time, and he was especially overjoyed, holding his slice of pizza high!
âOh oh oh, going out to play, dad is taking me out to play, Iâm going skiing!â
The little guy was extremely excited, almost jumping on the manâs shoulders.
Although the man wasnât very talkative, his love for his son was not diminished in the slightest.
Seeing his son so happy made him feel much more at ease.
The woman waved at them and followed the father and son away.
In the sunlight, in the snowy ground, a family of three happily left.
Seeing this, Xu Chaomu felt envious. As a child, her biggest dream was to sit on her fatherâs shoulders, laughing and frolicking.
Now that she was older, such a thought wouldnât occur to her, but in the future, she definitely wanted her own children to be happy.
âStill watching? Have breakfast, or itâll get cold.â
Nie Chenglang dipped a piece of bread in strawberry jam and handed it to her.
Xu Chaomu was still in a daze when Nie Chenglang laughed: âDo I need to feed you? Hmm?â
Xu Chaomu came back to her senses and rolled her eyes, âStop being a tease.â
âEat up, and after youâre full, Iâll take you out for a walk.â
Nie Chenglang also took a piece of bread and sat on the bench, eating and watching everything in the snowy field.
In the snowy field, children were playing with snow, and the ground was covered in a series of messy footprints.
All around were sounds of laughter and the childrenâs bell-like shouts.
âChenglang, I want to sleep, Iâll go to sleep for a while after Iâm full. You donât know, I havenât slept so peacefully for a long time.â
Xu Chaomu nibbled on the bread, with happiness written all over her face.
For the past half a year, she felt that just seeing the sun the next day was a luxury.
Every night she struggled to sleep, her biggest worry was whether she would wake up the next day.
If she did wake up, she worried about how she would manage her three mealsâ¦
Fortunately, she was grateful to have met Nie Chenglang.
In a foreign land, a long-awaited reunion.
Hearing Xu Chaomuâs words, Nie Chenglang felt a dull pain in his chest.
He wondered what she had gone through this past half year to say such things.
âOkay⦠then you have a good rest, and when you wake up, itâs not too late to go out and play,â Nie Chenglang said.
He looked at the girl with sympathy, this innocent and beautiful girl who clearly deserved to be treated well.
âOkay, but youâre not allowed to leave. After Iâve rested, wherever I want to go, you have to take me,â she said.
âOkay.â
âHowever, if you still have class, then you should go ahead. Iâm not that unreasonable,â said Xu Chaomu, even though she didnât want him to leave.
Nie Chenglang saw through her thoughts at a glance: âI donât have class.â
