Looking at the couple, who are talking to each other about their sons condition, Ah Jun thinks this picture is really good!
Suddenly, sensing something, Xiao Xis mother stopped joining her father in praising their son. She turned to look at Ah Jun and his sister standing nearby—— This realization made Xiao Xi jump back into the conversation. She rushed over to introduce them to her parents, introducing this new friend, brother, and sweet little sister. Her mouth started chattering again as she introduced them. The father beside her beamed with paternal pride, cheerfully chiming in as he welcomed both Ah Jun and the adorable girl.
However, Xiaoxis mother gave her a disapproving glance before gently explaining to Ah Jun that Xiaoxi had been constantly raving about her days in White Tiger County over the past two years, eagerly anticipating his visits every day——. She then looked at the girl clinging to Ah Jun with surprise. After learning they were just pretend lovers, her auntie smile remained unchanged.
After another round of polite words, Xiao Xis mother did not say more, but forced a smile, looked at Ah Jun, gently touched the childs head, then took the childs hand with warm hands, and said —— Lets go home!
Xiao Xi and his father were walking together, talking and laughing. The two of them walked in perfect sync, with almost the same expression, appearance and posture.
Ajun looked at the kind auntie, and then looked at the strange uncle who treated Xiao Xi like a friend. He felt that he had benefited from Xiao Xi. He finally realized another feeling of family love, which was the normal life that should have been rightfully belonging to a child.
Of course, Xiao Xis mother would look at Ah Jun from time to time or chat with them for a few words, but not much, because she had learned almost everything about Ah Jun from Xiao Xi.
The memory of Ah Jun still stings her heart, so she pays special attention to it. Now, seeing Ah Jun again, her heart aches even more, but she still tries to maintain a calm and happy appearance. On the surface, everything is calm, but inside, her heart is already turbulent and tears are falling like rain.
This is also because Xiao Xis mother is a very emotional person, who wo
Youre just being too sentimental. Look, the kids doing just fine. Hardship is something everyone faces... This kid is smart, hardworking, and resilient. Im sure hell bounce back gradually. Dont overthink it —— You dont usually yell at Xiao Xi like that every day —— Lets face it, you probably watched yesterdays drama..."
"—— But I just cant help it! How can they be the same? Look at how different these two kids are. Cant you see? —— I dont know why. I just feel so sad looking at this kid...."
The mediation method, which had been effective before, now seems to have failed. Xiao Xis mother was still unable to control herself. She continued to sob and cover her heart, venting her emotions to the other half.
"You... must have been watching that TV show last night —— you cried your eyes out..."
At this time, in the restaurant, the sensitive Ah Jun also noticed the slight noise coming from the bedroom, and asked Xiao Xi if she wanted to go and see.
Xiao Xi glanced over in that direction and explained to Ah Jun with a grin. "His mother is just like that," she said. "Its nothing serious. She must still be carrying the energy from last nights drama. Theyve all gotten used to it." Then she continued serving dishes to Ah Jun.
"—— I ..."
When confronted with her partners doubts, Xiao Xis mother shot him a glare, muttering complaints about her own feelings. But Xiao Xis father wouldnt let her continue this tantrum. He stepped in to calm her down: "Look, this kid is so sensible and just as sensitive as you. If we keep this up, itll be terrible—how upset hell get if he finds out! —— I bet hes already getting some hints about what happened..."."
Sure enough, it was the couple... It seemed Xiao Xis father knew exactly how to calm his wife at such a critical moment. ——While comforting proved ineffective, this unexpected turn of events made Xiao Xis mother suddenly realize the truth. ——Then she wiped away the remaining tears, regained her composure, straightened her expression, and led her husband back to the dining room.
"Auntie, are you all right? Are your eyes better?"
Seeing the child in front of her, although still suffering, but still caring about others, while her son was eating by himself, Xiao Xis mother could not hold back, but after all, she was a strong woman, so she swallowed her tears.
"Well, auntie, its okay —— come over and have a look at this, you are so thin eat more..."
However, as soon as she said this, Xiao Xis mother suddenly realized that she had lost control of her emotions and almost forgot about Ah Juns current situation.
"No, thank you, Auntie. The dinner is delicious today. Im full —— goose~"
As a result, Ah Jun suddenly hiccuped several times and said with an awkward smile: "You dont have to worry about me. Im fine. Dont look at me as thin, but Im still strong."
"Um, yes, mom... Ah Jun is so good. He is the first student in his school!" Xiao Xi said proudly.
As the children finished speaking, Xiaoxis mother grew visibly uncomfortable again, likely from sand particles still lodged in her eyes—— At this moment, she turned away and kicked Xiaoxis father —— Then, the father deftly pulled off a quick smile and immediately started chatting with the children about life and their dreams... Leaving Xiaoxis mother alone, she turned away from the children and quietly rubbed her eyes.
Of course, Ah Jun would look at Xiao Xis mother from time to time to show his concern... But because the father and son had a lot to talk about and he was a little unwell, he didnt have time to care for the sensitive and kind auntie.
Though he ate a bit too much, Ah Jun surprisingly stayed awake and slept soundly that night, feeling as comfortable as at home... But Xiao Xis mother couldnt sleep. With her unstable emotions, she tossed and turned in the fathers snoring, lost in thought —— Whenever feeling down, shed kick the side to get some peace.
Then, the next morning, Xiao Xis master came to visit early in the morning, and Xiao Xis father and mother stayed at home instead of going to work, to entertain the brothers and sisters of Ah Jun who came from afar, as well as this old friend who never visits the Three Treasures Hall.
After a few words of casual conversation, Xiao Xis master told Ah Jun in the name of the chieftain that he had been allowed to train in the main city, and that the time would be at noon three days later.
This made Xiao Xi very happy. He thought that Ah Jun would finish his task today and leave, but now the situation was different. Xiao Xi was satisfied —— He and Xiao Tianmei were excited and shouted that they would go on a good walk in the next two days.
The crowd watched the children shake their heads helplessly with amused amusement —— Ah Jun listened to Xiao Xis plan with a smile, his eyes filled with admiration... The plan, of course, still centered around food and games. After all, Xiao Xis mother usually kept a tight rein on the kids. While her husband would occasionally ease up, the mothers superior skills meant this time they could finally relax properly.
Since coming here, Ah Jun and Xiao Tianmei have been in a good mood every day —— friendly passers-by, kind little Xis family, and approachable clan leaders.
Although these two days, occasionally sometimes, Ah Jun will be a little indulgent because of his good self-feeling, but his body seems to complain less, which is amazing —— Perhaps it really accords with the teachings of the elders, from the health preservation way of the holy doctor clan: "The heart is the master of clarity, then all the blood vessels are open, so this way of keeping in good health leads to longevity!"
Of course, Ah Jun is still very careful about self-control, after all, safety first.
However, three days were clearly not enough for close friends and brothers. Soon, the training period began. The day before the training, Ah Juns heart unconsciously tightened again, and he was so anxious that he couldnt sleep all night —— But this time, there were no kitten companions, no starry skies, and no big moon.
He had to stare blankly out of the window, looking... looking... Finally, he saw the familiar chicken feather letter —— The content was still so healing and thoughtful.
Ajun sat on the bed and watched it over and over again. As a result, he fell asleep accidentally while watching it. The next day, when the child woke up, he found himself sleeping in bed with his quilt covered well. It was strange but familiar, which was the treatment he would get only at home.
It turned out to be Xiaoxis mother. After noticing Ah Juns condition, she became particularly attentive, closely monitoring his every move—not out of surveillance, but genuine concern. When Ah Jun fell asleep unintentionally while reading a letter, Xiaoxis mother entered his room, gently helped him lie down, and carefully tucked him in with the blanket...
—— The child is weak and needs to be careful, otherwise he will catch cold easily. Xiao Xis father pretended to complain about his mother, saying that even his own child was not so careful.
But Xiao Xis mother glanced at the person beside her pillow, then hummed and talked about how poor her sons sleeping posture was, and how rough his skin was. She thought it was difficult to cool down... However, the children of Qilin County were indeed different. The father smiled knowingly and nodded.
