The little boy frowned, turned around, and turned his back to Fei Jiayi.
"Hey, little friend, that’s really not cute at all." Fei Jiayi pouted and murmured, "What a waste of such a pretty face."
Xu Nianhua pulled Fei Jiayi over and said, "Are you really picking a quarrel with a little kid?"
Fei Jiayi innocently said, "I didn’t say anything much, I was just greeting him."
"Maybe he doesn’t like being disturbed by others," Xu Nianhua had just spoken when Fei Jiayi squatted in front of the little boy again, without speaking, just staring at the little boy, her big eyes unblinking, she softened her voice and said, "Sister isn’t a bad person, I just want to chat with you."
Fei Jiayi’s smile blossomed, her eyes radiating kindness.
"My name is Fei Jiayi, I go to university in Beining, do you want to go to university in the future?" Fei Jiayi spoke as if coaxing a child, as the children these days really admired the idea of going to university!
She knew that the children who found out she was a university student would chatter away like little birds, nagging and asking what university was like!
"Little friend, you, can’t you speak?" Fei Jiayi speculated.
The little boy counted ants earnestly, deaf to her words, not even granting her a glance.
"Jiayi." Xu Nianhua noticed the little boy’s indifference as well, thinking that maybe he really couldn’t hear or speak, she squatted next to Fei Jiayi, scrutinizing the little boy carefully, his features clear and distinct, thick black eyebrows over long lashes, obscuring the view of his eyes.
He wore a white shirt and black trousers, the most fashionable attire, and sported a pair of white sneakers. It was clear that the little boy came from a good family.
"Hello, my name is Xu Nianhua, can I be friends with you?"
Xu Nianhua extended her hand to the little boy with a beaming smile, her voice gentle and her smile sweet, her elongated fingers well-maintained, fair and beautiful.
Fei Jiayi thought the little boy might jump up and run away, but to her surprise, he lifted his head, those eyes black as obsidian and stunningly beautiful, instantly maxing out his already youthful and handsome face with full marks!
"Such beautiful eyes."
Fei Jiayi stared fixatedly at the little boy’s eyes, which were pure and flawless, and incredibly beautiful.
The little boy’s gaze fell on Xu Nianhua.
Fei Jiayi muttered softly to herself: What is with kids these days, judging by appearances?
Xu Nianhua gently nudged her with an elbow, then lifted a smile and spoke to the little boy, her eyes gleaming brightly as she smiled, "You can hear us talking, right?"
"..." The little boy looked at her and did not speak.
Xu Nianhua added, "If you can hear us, nod your head."
The little boy nodded.
Xu Nianhua’s smile deepened, and she continued, "So you..." can speak?
She hesitated as she was about to ask, thinking it might not be polite, so she changed the subject and said, "What are you playing here by yourself? Counting ants?"
The little boy nodded again, his eyes like obsidian watching Xu Nianhua.
"Ants moving house signifies that it’s about to rain, you should head home quickly, be careful not to catch a cold from the rain." Xu Nianhua’s words were soft, and the little boy’s steady gaze made her feel a bit of kindness.
