Her big eyes are watery and full of grievance when looking up at Bai Yan. “Mama, Second Brother eats so much, he took all of the fruits little foxy prepared for us. Wooohooo, I don’t like Second Brother anymore….” The way she said that was truly melting to the heart because when she cried, the peachy faced girl didn’t forget to rub her eyes with those tiny hands.
“Be good Ling Yan, we only need to have your little foxy pick some more for you.” Bai Yan cuddles her daughter some more to stop that weeping.
Truly, of all the things that’s occurred over the year, these two babies are her greatest joy and the driving force for removing the gloom hovering in her life due to her eldest’s unchanging condition.
“Mama, Mama, I want Big Brother, Big Brother,” suckling her own finger like a typical child, Ling Yan’s voice was all milky and soft to the ear. “I heard from Papa that Big Brother likes me the most, he will definitely not hog the fruits to himself.”
In the heart of this baby girl, those who take her food are all big baddies!
A ripple plowed through Bai Yan’s heart over the stark reminder. Aching in her voice: “Ling Yan, let’s go see your big brother then. I’m sure he will also like to have you accompany him, and I’m sure he will wake up soon if you keep talking to him.”
It’s been so long already, Xiachen should be waking up soon….
But before the mother and daughter pair could even make it all that far – the baby holding the woman’s pinky to walk steadily – Di Ling Yan had already started to show signs of fatigue.
“Mama, carry, carry.”
Staring down at her own daughter: “Your big brother could already walk very well by your age back then, how come you are so adverse to walking?”
Not getting it, Ling Yan continues to plead with those watery eyes: “Mama, carry me.”
Like most mother, Bai Yan would often fall victim to this behavior from their own babies. However, before she could reach down to give the girl a lift, one of the animals nearby had already caved in and crouched down to give her a ride.
Likewise, some of the other animals nearby also saw this and came over as well, which in kind made the woman go black in the face because it finally dawned on her.
So that’s why these two are unable to walk still, it’s all because of these animals. They probably never once allowed them to touch the ground….
“Ling Yan, you must walk by yourself.” Retracting her arms, she shifts her gaze over to the animals gathered around themselves with a warning look: “And you bunch are not allowed to give her a ride from now on. She must learn to walk on her own, understand?!”
A quiver shook their hearts. Their heads hung lower as a result due to submission, but those pleading eyes of these animals indicated they didn’t want to watch idly by while their baby girl struggled.
“There is no negotiation on this!” She snaps, killing all hope of changing this order. “Ling Yan, you are a good daughter, and mother here only like good little girls. Are you a good girl? If you are then we can go see your big brother.”
