After the two finished talking, Cheng Xiaoli left, and the courtyard was filled with a rare, unusually polite atmosphere.

Xie Yuhua had been waiting outside the door. After Cheng Xiaoli left, he followed her and suddenly hugged Ling Xiao from behind.

Ling Xiao gently patted his hand, but Xie Yuhua refused to let go, afraid that the person in his arms might change their mind and abandon him at any moment.

"I don't want to be here anymore." As soon as Ling Xiao said this, Xie Yuhua's tears fell instantly, her grip tightened, and even her breathing trembled.

"Brother Xiaohua, didn't you want me to go to your house? Even that guy Heixiazi has been there, so why can't I go?" Ling Xiao teased him. Xie Yuhua knew immediately that this kid was making fun of her, so she bit him hard on the spot where his neck and shoulder met.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, good brother, I was wrong." Ling Xiao took the opportunity to act coquettishly, and Xie Yuhua let go. How could Ling Xiao possibly be in pain? He was just joking with him. But Xie Yuhua took it seriously and rubbed it for him earnestly.

The more he rubbed, the more aggrieved he felt. Just now, when his lips and teeth were pressed against the child's neck, they were cold.

The brightness without body temperature is like holding a piece of snow in your mouth in winter—tasteless but bitter.

“I’m not very close to my family. If you try to scare me with this, I’ll be hurt,” Jieyuhua said.

Even the usually carefree Ling Xiao felt uneasy. He turned around and looked at Xie Yuhua, whose eyes were red and he didn't know what to say. He realized that his usual coaxing skills seemed useless now, and he didn't want to use them. So he wiped the tears off Xie Yuhua's face and kissed him on the lips.

The understanding woman deepened the kiss, and after a long while, she released it and said, "It's cold."

Ling Xiao touched his lips, instinctively trying to avoid Xie Yuhua, but Xie Yuhua hugged him again and said, "That's mine too."

Ling Xiao chuckled and patted his back, completely unaware that his own tears were no less than the other's.

"So, shouldn't Brother Xiaohua take Lingxiao home now?" Lingxiao asked with a smile.

Jieyuhua loosened her grip, wiped the tears from the child's face, kissed him, and said, "Let's go home."

"I want to eat stir-fried hawthorn berries."

"purchase."

"I want ice cream."

"purchase."

"I want to eat oranges again."

"purchase."

"How about we go out and play again this time? I want to go to Dashilan."

"Wherever you want to go, we'll go."

"Roast duck! I want to eat roast duck and a copper pot. This time I must try dipping the roast duck skin in white sugar. Why do you always dip it in sugar? I want to dip it in sugar too..."

"Hey? Aren't those two who just got on the bus Lingzi and Huaye?" Fatty and Heixiazi had just returned when they heard the chattering. They hadn't paid any attention at first, but the voices were just too familiar. When they looked up, it was indeed Jieyuhua and the other two.

"Why didn't you say you were coming back? It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, now I don't have to be with you, you blind idiot." No matter how you looked at it, it sounded like the fat man was congratulating himself on getting rid of a burden.

"Hey, you fatso, what do you mean by this? You're kicking me while I'm down, aren't you? Who was it that begged the blind man to come here just now?" Black Bear brought up what had just happened, and the fat man's face turned dark.

"You have the nerve to bring this up? I'm too embarrassed to say it. What have you taken me to do these past two days so I wouldn't have to stay home with you? You said there was money to be made, so I went with you. Good heavens, the first day we performed acrobatics at Tiananmen Square! Good heavens, what era are we living in? You could at least perform in a small town, but you had to go and embarrass yourself at the gate of Tiananmen Square. You almost knocked a hole in someone's little train!"

What happened the next day? You stopped performing and went back to telling fortunes at the city gate. Where did you learn all those folk remedies? You insisted that perfectly healthy men had irregular periods, and when a man in his seventies had his period, you congratulated him on being pregnant!

On the third day, you took me horseback riding. If you're going to ride properly, why did you have to feed my horse honey? Why didn't you mix some into yours? My horse was already having diarrhea, but after feeding it, it had a runny stool!

"How could I not beg you? Please, please stop causing trouble!"
