"When I found the child, he yelled at me and said, why are you looking for him? He will go back by himself."
...
"That's indeed the case later."
"Maybe the child just needs a space to be alone for a while without being disturbed."
"It won't be past nine o'clock at the latest, and the child will come back on his own."
"I know he doesn't want me to worry too much."
Having said this, the woman smiled softly.
...
"Xiao Xiao."
The woman looked at the young man, "Rarity is not a bad boy."
"Maybe because of his single-parent family, he has been stronger since he was a child, and his self-esteem is stronger than that of ordinary children."
"I am sensitive and sometimes get into trouble."
“I don’t like to show weakness, and I don’t like to ask for help from others.”
"Incredibly proud, but also very fragile."
"Even if he pretends to be nonchalant about someone else's negation, he will still care about it for a long time."
...
"This time he wanted to steal money. It was really the kid's thought."
"Otherwise, with this child's temperament and his need for face, he would definitely not be able to do such a thing."
The woman suddenly smiled, "Maybe to you, this is just a mother bragging about her child, right?"
"Won't."
Xiao Xiao shook his head.
"I just hope you don't hate the kid."
"I think this kid believes in you and even likes you a little, so he asked you for help."
The woman's words were sincere, and her eyes showed some earnestness.
...
"I don't hate him."
People make mistakes.
Regardless of the big mistake, if he just made a small mistake and denied a child, he would not be so harsh.
...
"Yeah?"
The woman's eyebrows relaxed, "That's good, that's good."
"Master Xiao, are we going to buy ingredients for making strawberry cake now?"
She changed the topic to a lighter topic.
It was originally just their family matter, but it involved this young man. She was not unsorry in her heart.
Just for the sake of her children, there were some things she had to say.
"You want to make strawberry cake?"
...
"It's not me, it's you."
"ah?!"
"Why do I......"
The woman's face was full of confusion.
"Aunt."
Xiao Xiao stopped and asked, "Do you still remember clearly what happened when you were a child?"
"When you were a kid?"
The woman was stunned.
"Do you remember a playmate you once had?"
"A very special playmate."
"You told it you were going to be good friends."
"You also said you were going to give it the first piece of cake you made."
...
The woman's face was confused for a moment, but following Xiao Xiao's words, a look of surprise gradually appeared in her eyes.
She remembered.
She once had such a playmate.
Red hedgehog.
Such a unique appearance should never be forgotten.
She had forgotten it for so long.
Obviously, in her regular life in the past, Xiaochi was her only playmate with whom she could play freely.
Is her most important friend.
She left in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to say goodbye to Xiao Chi.
Even thinking about it now, she was filled with regret.
"Xiao Chi."
The woman called in a low voice.
Will it be very angry?
It will definitely be angry.
...
Wait, she suddenly looked up at the young man in front of her, "What do you mean?"
"Xiao Xiao, what do you mean by these words you asked me?"
"What do you mean by these words?"
...
"Xiao Chi...?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and had no intention of showing off, and told the woman the general situation in a concise and concise manner.
...
"Xiao Chi came to see me?!"
"I can't see Xiaochi?"
"Xiao Chi is really angry."
"So, my current physical condition is Xiaochi's punishment for breaking my promise?"
The woman was dumbfounded after hearing the shocking facts from Xiao Xiao's mouth.
The opening and closing of her lips was not so much a rhetorical question as a murmur to herself when she was too surprised.
...
"Well, you could say that."
After receiving the questioning look from the woman, Xiao Xiao gave a positive answer, "You were indeed sick before."
"But it's not that serious of a disease."
"But with Xiaochi's influence, your disease has been repeatedly unable to be cured."
"The human body is very fragile. If this continues, even if Xiaochi's intention is not to kill you, your body will almost collapse."
"This is so devouring, I think you have felt it yourself."
That's why I'm so anxious to arrange the future life for Han Rui.
He even begged his parents in a low voice.
Just so that the two old people could take care of Han Rui after he left.
...
"So...is that so?"
A bitter smile emerged from the corner of the woman's mouth, "Is all this...all my fault?"
"Was I...really wrong?"
...
"The cause then caused the effect today."
"Unfortunately, this evil consequences not only happened to me, but also to my children."
Her Rarity was so close to becoming a thief.
She knew that if the young man in front of her hadn't reached out to stop her, Rarity would have remembered this incident forever after she woke up.
...
"What happened cannot be changed."
Xiao Xiao's voice was clear and calm, causing the woman's eyes to gradually regain focus.
"And now there's a chance to make amends."
"Xiao Chi still remembers the cake you promised her."
"Although it can't eat the first cake you made as you promised it."
"But as long as you make it specially for it, it will accept it."
"It said it wanted a cake filled with strawberries."
...
"yes."
The past that has happened cannot be changed, right or wrong, she has no regrets.
Even if it is her youth and frivolity.
The only act of willfulness in her life.
To deny it would be to deny her life so far.
"A cake filled with strawberries?"
The woman laughed, "Xiao Chi still likes eating strawberries so much."
Since leaving home, her past memories have been deliberately sealed away in a corner.
Today, because of Xiao Chi, some yellowed memories that had been sealed for a long time gradually returned to their bright colors and emerged clearly in her mind.
She remembered that when she and Xiaochi were eating strawberries together, they would always "fight" over the last strawberry.
Whoever manages to eat the last strawberry will be as carried away as a fool.
She eats everything slowly, except strawberries, which she can eat very quickly.
This was all gained through competition with Xiao Chi.
Thinking of the scene from that year, her previous gloomy mood when she learned the truth suddenly disappeared.
Yes, that's Xiaochi.
Her best friend was also the friend she abandoned.
Even if that wasn't her intention.
This was the result of her leaving without saying goodbye.
It was her fault first.
Then, you deserve to be punished.
What right does she have to be angry?
...
Moreover, Xiaochi was as hard-spoken and soft-hearted as she remembered. (To be continued)
