With a light flap of its wings, that butterfly then flew away again without making any sound.
Even as the butterfly flew away, Yao Yaoyao still didn’t come back to her senses.
She completely couldn’t believe that everything happening before her was real.
No, how is this possible?
She knew how to do embroidery?
She was the daughter of the commander!
How would she know how to do something like this?
“Impossible.”
Ye Tianxin smiled lightly and said, “You’ve seen it with your own eyes. Ms. Yao, perhaps you may be thinking why someone of my status would learn to do embroidery. But let me tell you, I grew up with my grandmother from a young age. We lived together without anyone else. Since I was very young, I would play at my grandmother’s side while she was doing embroidery. It’s just that my grandmother never let me learn embroidery, she wanted me to focus on my studies instead. If it weren’t for her suddenly becoming seriously ill, I wouldn’t have picked up the needle and started doing embroidery on my own…”
Yao Yaoyao covered her mouth and gasped in disbelief, “You also lived alone with your grandmother since you were young, right?”
“Yes,” Ye Tianxin nodded and answered.
Yao Yaoyao bent down and apologized to Ye Tianxin, “I’m sorry, Ye Tianxin, I was wrong just now, I made some assumptions that were completely unjustified.”
Yao Yaoyao bowed toward Ye Tianxin in front of so many people.
She knew very clearly how unreasonable and childish her behavior was just now.
If she still didn’t show her sincerity now, people would have a bad impression of Yao Vocals.
Just now, she was so anxious. The moment she thought about her grandfather who was quietly awaiting death on a hospital bed, she couldn’t help but feel scared.
If her grandfather was gone, then she would be the only person left in this world.
She would be alone.
Yao Vocals would slowly disappear in her hands.
“It’s okay.”
Ye Tianxin watched as Yao Yaoyao’s tears dripped onto the floor in front of her one drop after another. An indescribable feeling emerged in her heart.
She couldn’t bring herself to say anything harsh toward her anymore.
“Ye Tianxin, I’m sorry, I was too anxious, I was extremely afraid, I….”
Yao Yaoyao’s voice trailed off as she sobbed, she was really scared.
The application for Intangible Cultural Legacy was her last chance.
If she couldn’t succeed this time, there was no way for her grandfather to get enough money for the treatment.
Then she would become an orphan.
Yao Yaoyao reached her hand up and wiped off the tears on her face. She took a deep breath and said in a deeper tone, “Tianxin, I lived together with my grandfather since young. My grandfather cares for me a lot. He taught me Yao Vocals from a young age. We were very happy living together. I had a dream back then. Once I manage to enter university and find a good job, I can earn enough money so my grandpa can finally live a good life. But before I could do that, my grandpa was diagnosed with cancer.”
At that instant, Ye Tianxin suddenly understood what Yao Yaoayo felt right now.
She had to be frightened to death of the fact that her grandpa would leave her.
She would become an orphan.
It was just like how she felt back then when her grandmother fell ill.
She was afraid too.
“Ms. Yao, I don’t know how I should help you. If you want me to withdraw from the contest for the title of Intangible Cultural Legacy, I’m very sorry but I won’t quit.”
How could she quit?
She wouldn’t quit.
She wouldn’t be such a saint to quit for Yao Yaoyao’s grandfather.
Her grandmother was her top priority.
“No no, I wasn’t trying to get you to quit,” Yao Yaoyao frantically explained what she was trying to do just now. “I was just… scared. I was worried that because of your appearance, we wouldn’t be able to get the title. I know that once we get the title, we’ll get a sum of money as funds to help the art. I was initially preparing to use this money to get treatment for grandpa. When I saw you, I was scared that… I’m very sorry, it was my fault.”
