Su Yue laid on the couch as Ming Ansheng watched her intently. Su Yue’s eyes reflected in his, and her eyes sparkled like stars.
Hope had filled her eyes.
“Yueyue, go back with me alright?”
Ming Ansheng’s voice was deep, hoa.r.s.e, and gentle.
Su Yue pressed her lips. “Uncle Ming, I would like to stay for one more year.”
Ming Ansheng nodded with no hesitation. “Okay.”
He bent and kissed Su Yue on her forehead. He straightened his back before getting down from Su Yue.
Su Yue’s blus.h.i.+ng face and erratic heartbeat slowly resumed back to normal.
She laid there as she gazed at Ming Ansheng, looking grateful and touched.
‘Uncle Ming, others may think that I’m being pretentious. But I know you will understand me,’ Su Yue thought to herself.
…
After fetching Xiaojiao, Su Yue and Ming Ansheng decided to look for Zhou Shuang.
It should be the busiest period since it’s the end of the year. Third sister-in-law and her brother always hang up after a brief conversation.
She could imagine how busy Ming Ansheng was. There must be lots of important matters for him to attend to.
She wanted him to go back early after visiting Zhou Shuang.
There weren’t many changes to Zhou Shuang’s house. Although the furniture might be a little outdated, the house was tidy and clean.
It was warm inside and Su Yue took off the scarf around her neck. She bent to remove Xiaojiao’s jacket.
Ming Ansheng acted quickly and removed Xiaojiao’s hat first. Then he unzipped her jacket and removed it.
Su Yue’s hand hovered in midair for a moment as she smiled.
“Little la.s.s, why didn’t you inform me that you were coming?”
A familiar voice echoed from the second level. Su Yue glanced up and saw Zhou Shuang. She wore a gray knitted pullover and her hair tumbled across her shoulders. She held on to the railing as she descended the stairs.
She was looking at Su Yue too.
Su Yue eagerly strode past Xiaojiao and Ming Ansheng towards Zhou Shuang. She beamed brightly and said, “I wanted to surprise you. Aren’t you surprised?”
“I am,” Zhou Shuang replied and glanced at Xiaojiao. “Xiaojiao, let me hug you.”
The girl had grown taller, but her chubby cheeks were still so adorable.
She felt like biting her cheeks.
Su Yue turned around and pulled Xiaojiao along. She pointed to Zhou Shuang. “Xiaojiao, call her Aunt.”
Xiaojiao glanced at Zhou Shuang and said ‘Aunt’ ever so sweetly. She blinked her eyes as she surveyed Zhou Shuang.
She was trying to remember this aunt.
Su Yue grinned at Zhou Shuang. “I think she doesn’t remember you.”
“I’m such an unforgettable person, so she can’t remember me! I’m hurt.” Zhou Shuang pressed on her chest in a dramatic fas.h.i.+on.
Su Yue suddenly frowned and grumbled, “Why didn’t you look for me when you came to N City? Didn’t you know that I was here?”
She knew only because of Lu Yinan.
Zhou Shuang replied, “I just arrived and I didn’t have time to contact you. We will have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.”
Ming Ansheng, who stood like a gentleman next to Su Yue, spoke up. “In the future? You’re not planning to go back?”
