He An returned to Fu Yuling’s side and she whispered, “Is Xiao An finished?”
“Mm-hmm, Xiao An made brother not angry anymore.”
He wrapped his arms around Fu Yuling, reaching both hands out, and smiled with two dimples appearing.
“Guess which hand has something in it.”
Fu Yuling looked carefully and pointed to one of them, “There, that one.”
He An’s eyes curved, “You guessed right.”
He placed both hands together and spread them open, and Fu Yuling clearly saw him put the thing into the hand she had guessed.
This small action was not difficult to discover, but this thoughtful gesture still warmed Fu Yuling.
“What does Xiao An want to eat for dinner tonight?”
She asked softly.
“Want to eat noodles.”
“Why?”
He hummed, “In the past, when other kids had birthdays, their moms would cook noodles for them.”
He looked at her brightly, “Can I?”
Hearing this, Fu Yuling suddenly remembered from the corner of her mind that it seemed that Xiao An’s birthday was these days.
It’s not surprising that she didn’t remember. It’s mainly because the original owner’s memory was already chaotic. If she didn’t specifically look for it, it would be difficult to find.
A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes before she replied.
“Of course! I’ll cook more, you eat as much as you want. You have to eat until it’s this high.”
She raised her hand high.
“Mm-hmm, Xiao An wants to grow up to protect you.”
“Yes, Xiao An growing up is to protect me, so you must be safe, as well as your brothers.”
He raised his little fist resolutely, “Definitely, Xiao An will definitely eat a lot of food to grow up, and then Xiao An can hold you in his arms.”
“The Xiao An must remember, don’t forget me.”
Although the last sentence was just a joke from Fu Yuling, she still had a lingering expectation.
“Don’t worry,” he seemed to sense her uneasiness and nuzzled his head against her neck.
“I will definitely not forget you.”
After cuddling with He An for a while, Fu Yuling went out.
In the back of the house, she had planted a lot of vegetables, and she would go water them from time to time.
Every time, the children would curiously watch and then help.
By now, the backyard was all green, and everything was lush and verdant.
Fu Yuling worked while explaining things to them, and the conversation turned to the topic of school.
But to her surprise, none of the four children showed a happy expression on their faces.
“Don’t you want to go?”
He Qiu stood beside her and emphasized, “We can learn at home too.”
“But you need to play with children your own age.”
He Wen refused, “We don’t need that. As long as you are here, it’s enough.”
Fu Yuling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I want to send you to school so you can study properly. Later, I’ll be busy and won’t have as much time to accompany you.”
Hearing that she wouldn’t be able to accompany them, the sensitive He An’s eyes reddened.
“Are you saying you don’t want us anymore?”
Forget it, Fu Yuling knew that she was going to fall into this trap again.
She wanted to avoid looking at He An’s soft face, but her gaze was glued to it and she couldn’t move an inch.
“No, that’s not it…”
“Then why are you sending us away!”
“This…”
Fu Yuling had no more words and consciously avoided this topic.
Today was Xiao An’s birthday. She couldn’t make him angry, she couldn’t make him angry.
After reminding herself, Fu Yuling remained silent, lowered her head and focused on her work.
Until she finished everything, she still couldn’t give up and brought up the topic again.
“Really, don’t you want to go?”
“You don’t want us again…”
Fu Yuling quickly covered his mouth with her hand.
