The little wooden horse was a little tall. Jiang Yu’s feet could not reach the ground, but she loved to play. Therefore, every time she sat on it, someone had to bend down to support her. It was very tiring. Jiang An asked the nanny to put it away. She planned to take it out when Jiang Yu was older, but she had no choice now. She had to make a strong move, or else Jiang Yu would keep pestering her to see her brother.
Aunt Sang nodded and went back to make arrangements.
Zou Bai followed Jiang An slowly into Shaohua Tower. “Every time 1 come to your backyard, the door of this small building is tightly shut. I’ve always been curious about what it’s like inside. 1 didn’t expect to walk in personally one day to take a look.”
Zou Bai’s expression and tone were indifferent.
Seeing this, Jiang An asked curiously, “Did you come to my house often in the past?”
Zou Bai tried to recall. “I’ve been here a few times. The first time 1 came to your house was when my mother asked me to send sunflower seeds of sunflowers to your house. There was a species that was especially difficult to find at that time. Auntie Li searched for a long time but couldn’t find it. However, when I came, I heard that you got lost that morning.”
Jiang An didn’t expect Zou Bai to be a witness. “1 don’t remember what happened at that time at all. My memory is especially blurry.”
The memories were from before she was three years old, so Jiang An was unable to recall them now. However, Tan Xiang had weak sperm. If the Tan couple had treated Jiang An well at that time, Jiang An and her biological parents might not have met. It could only be said that everything was fate.
Zou Bai saw Jiang An’s confused expression and interrupted, “Where’s Little Feather’s room?”
Jiang An came back to her senses and brought Zou Bai upstairs. Jiang Yu passed by her brother’s room and pointed at the door excitedly. “Enter… Enter!”
Jiang An quickly coaxed, “Let’s go in later. There’s a little wooden horse in your room. Let’s go play for a while before looking for your brother.”
Jiang Yu didn’t understand such complicated words, but she understood the words ‘little wooden horse’. A moment of hesitation appeared on her face. Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang An pushed Zou Bai’s arm and urged him in a low voice, “Let’s go.”
Zou Bai followed Jiang An’s force and went to another room. Jiang Yu’s door was wide open.
Jiang Yu saw the little wooden horse that she had not seen for a long time at a glance. There were also more than ten shiny gems of different colors on the ground. She jumped excitedly and wanted to get off the ground. How could she remember her younger brother?
When Zou Bai saw Jiang Yu’s excited expression, he shook his head in amusement and placed Jiang Yu on the horse’s back. Aunt Sang immediately supported Jiang Yu. Only then did Zou Bai escape. However, he still squatted on the ground and interacted with Jiang Yu for a while with the gems and dolls.
The two of them couldn’t understand each other’s words, but they looked surprisingly harmonious. It didn’t affect their communication at all.
Zou Bai received a call from his mother. After hanging up, he stood up. “I have to go first.”
Jiang An was the host, so it was etiquette to send the guest off. Hence, she stood up as well. “I’ll send you off.”
Zou Bai bent over and reached out to pat Jiang Yu’s little head. He smiled and said goodbye to her. “Little Feather, Uncle will come and see you next time.”
Jiang Yu looked at Zou Bai touching her head. His broad palm brought a sense of security that she had never felt before. Jiang Yu felt very comfortable and smiled foolishly at Zou Bai.
The childish smile on Jiang Yu’s face made Zou Bai happy. He retracted his hand and turned to walk to the door.
Seeing Zou Bai walk to the door, Jiang Yu’s expression immediately changed. She burst into tears. She stopped playing with the wooden horse and reached out her short hand to Zou Bai. “Daddy!”
Zou Bai heard the crying and subconsciously stopped in his tracks. He turned around and saw two streams of tears on Jiang Yu’s chubby face.
When Zou Bai saw this, he felt as if his heart had been pricked by a needle. He couldn’t help but turn around and hug Jiang Yu in his arms to comfort her.
Aunt Sang and Jiang An were surprised when they saw this. If they remembered correctly, this sort of clingy treatment had only happened when Jiang An first started working. Now, she had actually developed such a strong sense of dependence after just meeting Zou Bai. This was really unexpected to the two of them.
Such an experience was very novel to Zou Bai. After all, when those little imps saw him leave in the past, they were all so happy that they wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Zou Bai played with her for another ten minutes. While Jiang Yu’s attention was attracted by the gem in Aunt Sang’s hand, Jiang An pulled Zou Bai up and quietly left.
Therefore, after the door was completely closed, Zou Bai, who was experiencing this way of going out for the first time, asked curiously, “Do you have to be so sneaky every time you go out?”
Jiang An glanced at Zou Bai and touched her nose. “She’s already used to me going out to work, so she won’t cry when 1 leave. I don’t know why, but she seems to like you a lot. That’s why she’s like this..”
