Xu Jia Yan finished packing his luggage, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a little girl lying on the balcony, staring blankly at the calm sea. Her long eyelashes drooped, her expression quiet and melancholic.
Kids probably have their own worries too!
Xu Jia Yan's footsteps couldn't help but pause for a moment, staring at Jiang Yu for a while before walking to his side.
"Don't you like it here?"
The little girl heard the voice and turned around, a joyful smile appeared on her face for a second, pointing to the distant sea: "A Yan brother? It's so beautiful here!"
Xu Jia Yan followed her line of sight and looked out at the endless blue sea and sky, it was indeed very beautiful.
The little girl seemed to realize what Xu Jiayan had asked only after she finished speaking, and then smiled and added: "Yuan Yuan likes it very much."
She finally saw the sea.
It's just like what Mom and Dad described before.
But she didn't look happy.
The excited cries from next door are more like a normal reaction of someone who really likes it.
And her eyes, though still bright and clear, had lost some of their luster.
Xu Jia Yan stared into her eyes and said: "If you don't want to laugh, you can just not laugh. If you don't like it, you can say so..."
The little girl shook her head and said softly: "Yuan Yuan doesn't not want to laugh, nor does she not like it, it's just that she misses Daddy and Mommy a bit. They said before that they would bring Yuan Yuan to the seaside later."
After finishing speaking, he looked towards the distant sea surface, his eyes dimming slightly.
Xu Jia Yan looked at her, his heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle, and the pain came suddenly.
Ever since Aunt Song and her husband passed away, this girl never proactively mentioned them in front of others. This was the first time Xu Jiayan heard her mention Dad and Mom in front of him.
He wasn't good at comforting people, staring at her for a while before finally reaching out to pat her head and saying, "Dad and Mom will always be with you in heaven. Just like how we're all here with you."
"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up and she looked up at the sky, "Then are they watching the sea with Yuan Yuan now too?"
"Hmm!" Xu Jiayan nodded slightly.
The smile on the little girl's face became much more genuine and vivid.
"Lying on the balcony, shouting loudly towards the distance: "Dad and mom, Yuanyuan misses you, are you doing well? Yuanyuan is doing very well, Auntie Xu, Uncle Xu and Brother Ayan, they all treat Yuanyuan very well."
"Yuan Yuan saw the sea, just as beautiful as Mom said. Yuan Yuan is very happy, extremely happy!"
"Don't worry, I'll be good!" She said this last sentence very softly.
Xu Jia Yan lowered his eyes and took a glance at her, the small figure was not even up to his chest, with bright and shiny black eyes that seemed to be misty with water vapor, looking delicate and pitiful. Suddenly, a voice emerged in his mind: Actually, it's okay if she's not obedient.
Downstairs, Lin Wan and Xu An Nian also heard the little girl's voice. Both of their eyes flashed with a complex emotion, especially Lin Wan whose eyes couldn't help but redden.
All these years, she never mentioned her father and mother. They thought it was because of her young age that she didn't remember things, but unexpectedly this child had been keeping it in mind all along.
Jiang Yuang had just shouted when a head popped out from next door.
Xu Xiaoshao leaned on the window, panting and shouting at her: "Jiang Xiaoquan, have I been bad to you?" She mentioned Lin Xiaowan, and also mentioned his father and brother, but didn't mention him.
He was also very good to him.
Every day he helps her carry her school bag and fetch water, and even helps her with cleaning the classroom on duty days, yet she doesn't even mention him, what a heartless girl.
He was so good to her! From now on, don't even think about him helping her carry her school bag again...
