It's not too late to meet in the book

Sunlight filtered through the half-drawn curtains, dappling onto the living room floor, adding a touch of warmth and tranquility to the afternoon. Lei Xiaoyue's family had just returned from the park, but the atmosphere was a bit tense due to Xiaoyue's accidental injury.

Renault closed the door gently, afraid to disturb Lei Xiaoyue, who was resting on the sofa. His eyes were filled with worry, but even more so with love and reluctance for his daughter. He knew that treating Lei Xiaoyue's wound would be a significant challenge.

Wang Jing took out disinfectant and cotton swabs from the medicine box, her movements gentle and skillful. However, when she turned to look at Lei Xiaoyue, she found her daughter hugging her knees tightly, her eyes filled with fear and resistance.

"Xiaoyue, come here, let your mother help you treat your wound." Wang Jing's voice was gentle and firm. She tried to use her motherly love to dispel Lei Xiaoyue's fear.

However, Lei Xiaoyue just bit her lower lip tightly, as if trying to suppress the gasp that was about to come out. "Mom, I don't want it... That medicine hurts..." Her voice was filled with tears, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Lei Nuo quickly walked over to Lei Xiaoyue, squatted down, and gently held her hand. "Xiaoyue, don't be afraid. Daddy is here with you. Mommy will be very careful and won't let you get too hurt."

Lei Xiaoyue looked up at Lei Nuo, then at Wang Jing, her eyes filled with hesitation and uneasiness. She knew her parents were doing this for her own good, but she still couldn't help but fear the pain of the disinfectant.

Wang Jing felt a pang of heartache when she saw Lei Xiaoyue's resistance. She thought for a moment and decided to try a different approach. "Xiaoyue, this potion is yellow, just like your favorite sunflower. It will help your wound heal quickly, just like a sunflower always grows towards the sun."

Lei Xiaoyue's eyes flickered with curiosity and doubt after hearing Wang Jing's words. She looked down at her knees, then up at the disinfectant in Wang Jing's hand, as if trying to convince herself to accept the "sunflower" metaphor.

"Really? Mom, will it really look like a sunflower?" There was a hint of childishness and innocence in Lei Xiaoyue's voice.

Wang Jing smiled and nodded: "Yes, Xiaoyue. Mommy won't lie to you. Do you believe Mommy?"

Lei Xiaoyue thought about it, and finally mustered up the courage to nod: "Well, I believe my mother."

Seeing that Lei Xiaoyue finally agreed, Wang Jing and Lei Nuo both breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that although the next treatment would still be painful, at least Lei Xiaoyue had taken a brave step.

Wang Jing carefully lifted Lei Xiaoyue's skirt to reveal her injured knee. She first dipped a cotton swab in a little disinfectant and gently applied it to Lei Xiaoyue's wound.

"How are you, Xiaoyue? Does it hurt?" Wang Jing's voice was filled with concern and heartache. She stared closely at Lei Xiaoyue's expression, afraid to miss any subtle changes.

Lei Xiaoyue bit her lower lip, as if trying to stifle the gasp that was about to burst out. However, she didn't burst into tears like she had before, but bravely held back her tears. "Mom, it hurts a little... but I can hold it in."

Hearing Lei Xiaoyue's words, Wang Jing and Lei Nuo felt relieved. They knew that their daughter was learning to be strong and brave in her own way.

After treating the wound, Wang Jing gently bandaged Lei Xiaoyue's knee with gauze. She looked into her daughter's eyes, which were filled with courage and determination, and felt a surge of pride in her heart.

"Xiaoyue, you are awesome! Mom is proud of you." Wang Jing's voice was full of maternal love and encouragement.

Lei Nuo also came over and gently hugged Lei Xiaoyue: "Yes, Xiaoyue. You are the bravest! Dad believes that no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you will be able to face them bravely like you did today."

Lei Xiaoyue felt warm at heart after hearing what her parents said. She knew that no matter what difficulties or setbacks they encountered, as long as their family was together, nothing could be overcome.

The sun still shone through the curtains, adding a touch of warmth and brightness to the afternoon. Lei Xiaoyue and her family of three hugged each other tightly, as if to engrave this love and courage in each other's hearts forever.

"Mom, I will definitely be careful in the future and won't let you worry about me anymore." Lei Xiaoyue's voice was filled with determination and resolve. She knew that this little accident had taught her to grow and become stronger.

"Okay, Xiaoyue. Mommy believes you can do it. Our Xiaoyue has really grown up and knows how to care for mom and daddy." Wang Jing's voice was full of maternal love and trust. She knew that her daughter was growing up step by step in her own way.

Renault went up to them and hugged them both and said, "Daddy is really happy. Our Xiaoyue has grown up. She is really daddy's caring little cotton-padded jacket. When daddy heard this, he was so moved that he almost cried." After saying this, he pretended to wipe away his tears.

Lei Xiaoyue looked up to see if Lei Nuo was crying and said, "Mom, Dad is lying to me!"

Wang Jing smiled and replied, "Yes, this is your father's usual tactic."
