But she ignored him as she ran in the other direction until she reached a corner of the backyard where she met a little boy.
“What are you doing?” she asked in her soft voice. Her short legs bent as she squatted down beside the little boy.
“How did you know that I was here?” He smiled, looking jovial.
She was delighted because she knew that he was here.
“I guessed! What are you doing here?”
His eyes gave off a mysterious feeling. “I can’t tell you yet. When I find it, I’ll give it to you.”
Her eyes lit up. “Eh! Are you going to give it to me? Tell me what it is.”
“Geez, can you pretend that you don’t know about it? Wait till I find it.”
“No! Just what is it exactly? You are going to give it to me anyways. You can tell me.”
He couldn’t stand her acting spoiled, so he said, “Okay, I’ll tell you.”
He pointed to the gra.s.s in front of him, smiled, and said, “I’m looking for a four-leaf clover.”
“A four-leaf clover? What is that? Can you eat it?” The chowhound in her was exposed as she stuck out her tongue and asked.
Amused, he pushed her forehead with his short finger. “You dummy. Of course you can’t eat it. You’re not a little sheep. I learned about four-leaf clovers on television. It said that as long as I find it, I can make a wish with it and the wish will come true.”
“Wow! It’s that good? Any wish will come true? Then I’ll help you find it!”
However, the two looked around for a long time and couldn’t find it.
She was tired and sat down on the gra.s.s. “It’s so tiring. Why can’t we find it? Is there really a four-leaf clover?”
The little boy sat beside her. His expression remained resolute. “Yes, there must be!”
“Let’s stop looking for it, alright? I’m hungry…” she said, touching her stomach.
The little boy shook his head, his little handsome face looked determined. “I’ll look for it. You can go and eat. I’ll find it myself.”
She asked quizzically, “Why must you find it? It’s too hard to find. Stop looking for it.”
“Because…” He looked up at her and smiled. “I want to make a wish.”
“What wish?”
“My wish is…” The little boy stopped, looked at her, and said, “I want you to be happy. Aren’t you unhappy? You cried. I don’t want to see you crying so I wanted to make a wish that you would never cry again.”
She pouted. “I had a fight with Yin Shaojie today,” she cried.
“You are so nice to me!” she said as she rushed up to hug him.
She said, “I’m very happy now! Super happy! So we don’t have to find the four-leaf clover anymore. Let’s go eat!”
She stood up, held his little hand, and pulled him forward.
“You’re really happy?” He asked as he looked back at the three-leaf clovers.
She nodded vigorously. “Yeah! I’m very, very happy! I like being with you, so of course I’m happy.”
Hearing this, he laughed.
The two kids smiled at each other.
The little girl suddenly became the grown up Mu Xiaoxiao.
Staring at the little boy in front of her, her eyes shook as she remembered something. Her eyes became slightly wet and she whimpered, “Who… who are you?”
The little boy smiled and said to her, “Silly Xiaoxiao, I’m Dada. It’s me, Ah Ze!”
