The little girl who used to throw tantrums and talk back, saying Mommy was too strict, had grown up.
The playful little Demon King had become obedient. Although it was what she had hoped for, in that moment, her nose felt sour.
"Wu Wa, you’ve grown up."
She could now fight the bad people and protect her.
"Mommy, I want to grow up quickly so I can protect you and Wu La."
Before, she was immature, always making them worry, but from now on, she wanted to guard them.
And do something for them.
Before, she didn’t understand, always feeling like Mommy nagged, feeling like she wasn’t doing well here or there, even though she was already trying her best.
But now, she finally realized that Mommy just wanted her to be better.
Mommy was afraid that one day she wouldn’t be able to protect her anymore, so she wanted her to be better, to be able to protect herself.
It turned out that it wasn’t Mommy who didn’t understand love, but her.
She watched Ah Zhi work so hard, no matter how painful it was, but still smiling and telling Grandpa that she was fine.
Watching Bai Xiang, although very verbose, set goals and determinedly achieve them.
Watching Bai Fei, though already very happy, still willing to strive for better.
She felt so fortunate, extremely fortunate to have met them. That’s why she had become a better version of herself now.
Wu Lan’s lips curled more tenderly as she affectionately stroked her hair.
"You’re already protecting me, aren’t you? My Wu Wa is amazing, you can even fight the bad guys now. Wu Wa’s mother is proud of you."
Wu Lan was really surprised, Wu Wa’s growth had been so rapid.
Back then, she just wanted to protect Wu Wa, to entrust Wu Wa to Uncle Bai, not expecting Wu Wa to have grown so much.
"Mommy, I was moved by Grandpa’s determination, and I will continue fulfilling his determination. I will try hard."
Now, Wu Wa knew what ’walls have ears’ meant, and even became cautious when speaking.
Wu Lan was taken aback, not expecting to hear these words from Wu Wa’s mouth.
"Wu Wa, you?" how did you know.
"Mommy, I’m grown up and can do something for you guys now. I want to fulfill Grandpa’s determination and will strive for it. I don’t know what you and Wu La still need to do.
I’m sorry, Mommy, I can’t stay; I still need to continue working hard for Grandpa’s determination."
Perhaps before she would have cried and insisted on staying, but not now; she had to keep striving.
"Wu Wa’s mother knows, my daughter is wonderful. For your birthday gift, remember to look at it. Mommy and Wu La have to deal with moving, so we can’t come visit you often."
Wu Lan felt a bit of heartache, a special kind of heartache.
Before, she had never thought Wu Wa would learn about these things so quickly, but unexpectedly, all at once, she didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
Mother and daughter talked for a long time, and Wu Wa fell into a deep sleep.
Only then did Wu Lan leave Wu Wa’s room, Bai Zhi was sitting in the courtyard watching the night sky.
It’s hard to tell if it was because the stars in the mountains were particularly beautiful, but Bai Zhi felt the starry sky was very beautiful.
"Hello Bai Zhi, can we talk a bit?"
Bai Zhi smiled and nodded.
"Of course, it’s okay."
Wu Lan walked over and sat beside Bai Zhi, looking at everything familiar here, feeling a sense of peaceful times, though just during the day, they had undergone a thrilling experience.
If it weren’t for Wu Wa, Bai Zhi, and Mr. Bai’s appearance, she and Wu La would definitely have faced some difficulties.
"Thank you for taking care of Wu Wa."
