Si Jingyu was slightly taken aback.
She stared at Xin Xin intently.
He was very adorable and good-looking. His face was fair and smooth. His twinkling eyes resembled grapes.
He resembled Shi Jinyan very much and looked just like a mini version of him.
Being such a small child, his height did not even reach her thighs. When he looked up at her and talked to her in a babyish and nasal voice, her heart simply melted.
Although she clearly knew that this child might just be the biggest obstacle between Shi Jinyan and her and that she probably shouldn’t like him, something just sparked joy in her whenever she looked at Xin Xin.
After a long time, she finally realized that this was because they had blood ties. They might not know each other, but blood was thicker than water. Somehow, there was a force that had brought them together.
She pursed her lips, bent down, and looked at Xin Xin. “No.”
On the other hand, Xin Xin reached out and touched her face. “But, your face… Your face just says that you are not happy~ Auntie, if you are upset, you need to say it. You will be so upset if you just hide your feelings.”
Si Jingyu looked at the child standing beside her as he said something so mature. She thought that what he said was especially hilarious, and it dispelled some of her negativity.
Unknowingly, she smiled at Xin Xin. “I’m really not upset.”
“You are~” After saying this, Xin Xin sighed all of a sudden. “Auntie, you need to be honest. I can make you happy.”
Seeing how eager and enthusiastic he was, Si Jingyu wanted to play along. “Yes, Auntie is upset.”
Xin Xin stared at her for a while. Suddenly, he burst out laughing and clapped his hands. “Hahaha! You have been fooled! I’m happy when you are not happy!”
Si Jingyu: “…”
After this rascal finished speaking, he immediately stuck his tongue out at Si Jingyu. He was such an obedient child back when he was sick. Where did that child go?
He was just a devil incarnate now!
After he stuck his tongue out at Si Jingyu, he criticized her, “Old witch! You are very pretty, but my mother said that pretty women are all toads before their transformation! Toad! Toad! Haha! You are a stupid and ugly toad!”
After saying this, he stepped back and made an ugly face at Si Jingyu again. “Quick, cry! If you cry, I can tell my mother and she would be very happy! Bad person! Old witch!”
After saying this, he turned around and dashed out.
Coincidentally, a nurse was approaching him with a cart. Xin Xin was short, so the nurse, who was pushing the cart, continued walking toward Xin Xin.
Si Jingyu’s eyes widened as she shouted at Xin Xin, “Xin Xin, stop! Stop!”
However, Xin Xin thought she was going after him. Hence, he picked up his pace. The small boy crashed straight into the cart!
Si Jingyu could clearly see the needles, IV tubes, and other equipment on the cart. The child would surely be hurt from the crash!
In that crucial moment, she did not know what kind of force drove her, but she exhibited astonishing speed all of a sudden as she dashed toward him.
“Xin Xin!”
She stretched out her arm and grabbed Xin Xin before they fell down next to the cart.
Her hand came into contact with the medical cart. The needles poked into her arm, and they felt especially painful.
