Momo saw his troubled expression, crossed his arms, and said coldly, "I see, you seem really unwilling to apologize to me! It’s okay, if you don’t want to apologize to me, I won’t force you. I don’t absolutely need you to apologize to me!"
Li Junyan slightly frowned, "Don’t you think you owe me an apology too?"
Momo said, "Why would I owe you an apology?"
Li Junyan: "You started the fight by hitting first!"
Momo said, "You were the one who grabbed my sister’s toy first!"
Li Junyan: "Do you really think I was trying to take that broken toy?"
Momo said, "But you did push my sister’s stroller down the slope, didn’t you?"
Li Junyan was momentarily speechless.
He opened his mouth and said, "I just..."
Momo said, "Even if you’re playing some prank with me, you should have limits, right? Don’t you know that scaring someone can be really dangerous?"
Li Junyan lowered his head, "Sorry, I was out of line. I was just messing around with you, I didn’t really mean to harm your sister, nor you. If you’re willing to forgive me..."
Momo suddenly interrupted him, "What if I’m not willing to forgive you?"
Li Junyan raised his head, his long-suppressed temper flared up, "Then what do you want?"
Momo said, "I see you say you want to apologize to me, but you’re not sincere at all! Anyway, I won’t bother with you! After all, like you said, you didn’t really harm my sister! Besides, you hit, and I hit back! You even lost to me..."
Li Junyan finally couldn’t bear it anymore, "Lost to you? Do you think I lost to you?"
During the fight yesterday, he held back, otherwise, Momo wouldn’t have been lightly injured, yet he shamelessly said he lost to him!
Momo said, "You don’t accept it, do you? If you don’t, let’s have another go if you dare!"
As they say, people of virtue resolve conflicts through words, not physical fights.
Momo is not a combative kid, but he’s also not one to easily accept defeat!
Li Junyan clenched his fists.
He heard a gentle voice come from behind.
Li Junyan paused, turning around.
Lin Qi and Huo Tingdong had just returned by coincidence.
Huo Tingdong was pushing a double stroller. That day, they had taken the babies for a check-up, and also registered the babies’ residence information.
Li Junyan immediately recognized that this woman was Momo’s mother.
The mother and son looked too much alike.
Although he had an unpleasant encounter with Momo, he had to admit from the bottom of his heart that Momo was very good-looking—at first glance, a very pretty child. No wonder Momo was so good-looking, turns out, his mother looked as beautiful as a fairy!
For some reason, seeing Lin Qi, Li Junyan felt a sudden pang of inexplicable jealousy.
At that moment, he felt very envious of Momo.
After all, Momo had both a dad and a mom, a tall and handsome father, and a gentle and beautiful mother.
What he once had is something he will never have.
His mother had passed away due to illness, becoming a star in the sky.
Since then, whenever he wanted to think of his mother, he could only look at the stars in the sky, but among so many stars, he didn’t know which one was his mother.
And his father would never acknowledge him either.
Li Junyan suddenly felt a bit lost, his eyes felt a sting, and he raised his hand, harshly wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and turned around to leave.
Momo saw him suddenly about to leave, reached out and grabbed him, "What are you doing?"
Li Junyan reflexively pushed him away, "Don’t touch me!"
Momo didn’t expect him to suddenly become so irritable, almost knocking him to the ground.
Li Junyan stepped back half a step, putting both hands behind his back.
He didn’t mean to push Momo.
He’s not used to being touched by others.
Fortunately, Momo reacted quickly, supporting himself against the wall with his hand, and he was a bit annoyed, "Do you have to be so rough? I just touched your hand and you pushed me! What exactly are you here for? Saying you came to apologize, but I don’t see any sincerity from you!"
Li Junyan: "It’s none of your business!"
Momo: "You think I want to mind your business? This is my home, and you’re not welcome! Just leave!"
Hearing this, Li Junyan turned to leave.
Lin Qi listened to the gunpowder-filled conversation between the two children and instantly figured out who this boy was. She slightly blocked his path.
Li Junyan instinctively took a step back, raised his head, and looked at her with alert eyes.
Huo Tingdong stood beside Lin Qi, his 1.92-meter height made Li Junyan feel an oppressive presence seeping deep into his bones!
Lin Qi gave him a once-over.
The little boy in front of her had a delicate and youthful face, very fair skin, a typical cool white tone, a not-so-obvious tear mole at the corner of one eye, big eyes with long corners, a high nose bridge, and his lips pressed tightly, seemingly a bit nervous.
Seeing his pair of eyes full of caution and vigilance, Lin Qi knew...this is a very sensitive child. The more insecure the child, the more he will resist the outside world!
Li Junyan averted his gaze, his eyes suddenly falling on the two babies in the stroller.
In the stroller, Zhouzhou was sound asleep, while Yinyin was awake, holding a milk bottle. Though the bottle was empty, she still suckled on the nipple merrily.
She noticed this strange little brother and was a bit curious. Suddenly, she raised her chubby little hand, pointed at Li Junyan, and looked up at Huo Tingdong, "Yiya..."
She couldn’t speak yet, only uttering babbles.
Huo Tingdong smiled, "Yinyin, do you recognize this little brother?"
Yinyin’s eyes were bright and suddenly she laughed, grabbing her little hands and kicking her little feet.
Huo Tingdong was somewhat surprised.
He seemed to understand what Yinyin meant.
Yinyin had started recognizing people already. Yesterday, Li Junyan held Yinyin, so the little one recognized this big brother at once.
Li Junyan gazed at the little sister with rosy lips and white teeth, especially seeing her innocent, pure gaze. She didn’t seem to fear him but even reached out to tug at his sleeve.
Lin Qi said, "Are you ’Li Junyan’?"
Li Junyan responded with a muffled "Mm," his face turning a bit unnatural as he turned it to the side, "Yes, I am."
Lin Qi patiently asked again, "Did you come to apologize to Momo?"
Li Junyan pursed his lips, "I..."
Momo said, "He came to apologize to me, but I feel he’s not sincerely here to apologize! With his attitude, I won’t forgive him."
