Chapter 57: Becoming a Child Again
"You mean I want to be like them?"

Jiang Yun asked, pointing at the children lined up in two long rows not far away.

They were wearing the same clothes, the little boy was wearing blue and the girl was wearing red. They would talk to the people next to them from time to time, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.

When Xu Zhe'an saw them, it was like seeing himself many years ago.

But it’s a bit of a pity that I didn’t meet Jiang Yun earlier.

If we had known each other since childhood, we might have already been in love for life and could bully each other as much as we wanted.
"How wonderful, full of energy."

After sighing, Xu Zhe'an raised his hand and touched Jiang Yun's forehead and asked with a smile:

"We happen to have a little kid at home, do you have any ideas?"

"No, no, I refuse"

Jiang Yun uttered different words in a breath, but she just refused. As she spoke, she suddenly laughed.

Eh?
As if full of wisdom, he said:

"When it comes to this, you are the child."

Xu Zhe'an originally thought Jiang Yun was laughing because she saw something funny, but after hearing this, he looked around in vain and was very confused. He pointed at himself and asked unconfidently:

"How could it be me? Have you ever seen a child this tall?"

At this moment, Xu Zhe'an saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

"Yeah, I wasn't talking about height either."

Without waiting for Jiang Yun to finish, Xu Zhe'an took her hand and walked quickly towards his home across the street, while deliberately threatening her:

"Someone has to explain himself when he gets home. Otherwise, you should be aware of the consequences."

"That's how it is, huh."

Although Jiang Yun was slightly dissatisfied, she did not dare to act presumptuously and followed Xu Zhe'an closely.

The streets were bustling with people during school hours. Although there were quite a few students from No. 1 Middle School among them, none of them stood out as much as these two people.

Under the fiery sunset, the two people in blue school pants and white short-sleeved shirts held hands. Jiang Yun's ponytail kept shaking, beating Xu Zhe'an's already hot heart.

Thump, thump...

In the elevator going upstairs, Xu Zhe'an tried to hold back his laughter.

What's funny is that Jiang Yun wanted to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables to delay time, but she had arranged a small-scale "family dinner" yesterday and specially cooked a meal for Zhong Yuan and Xu Weishi. As a result, she forgot about it in a hurry.

Jiang Yun, who was standing next to him, hung her head and kept complaining about Xu Zhe'an's faults in her heart.

You agreed so readily last time and promised not to bully me.

No, we must not let him succeed today.

Ding-

The elevator stopped at the fifth floor. Under the gaze of others, Xu Zhe'an shook Jiang Yun, who was distracted, and reminded her:

"You're home now, don't just stand there like an idiot."

"Oh."

Jiang Yun took a big step and walked out of the elevator.

The door slowly closed, and through the gap one could see the remaining people staring in amazement at the situation.

It goes without saying that because of the relationship between the two, many people are too quiet in their student days and do not have the youth to be unrestrained and flamboyant. Although they do not say words of love, they feel a little envious every time they see such things.

Before Xu Zhe'an opened the door and went in, Jiang Yun flashed in first and took off her shoes very quickly.

"I'm going to turn on the air conditioner first."

"Don't run, I won't eat you."

Xu Zhe'an pulled the strap of Jiang Yun's backpack. He just wanted to have a friendly conversation and didn't know what she was afraid of.

"Then I'll go cook. Brother must be hungry."

Jiang Yun turned around with a bitter look on her face.

Xu Zhe'an sighed helplessly and explained the reason to her:

"I was just teasing you about what happened at the school gate. I pulled you away just now because I saw Lao Yang. It would have been so embarrassing if he had bumped into us."

what?
When Jiang Yun understood the reason, her heart was relieved in an instant.

Something that she could have just reminded him of made her worry all the way. Especially when she saw Xu Zhe'an's slightly mocking expression at this time, a feeling of dissatisfaction welled up in her heart, so she gestured to him to come closer.

"I wouldn't dare. You must want to hit me. Let's go first."

Xu Zhe'an stepped aside and walked around Jiang Yun to the living room. He recalled that during the few days when she was unwell, she was beaten frequently, but he couldn't bear to say anything to her. The main reason was that little Zhenzhu couldn't bear it at all.

Jiang Yun was stunned when she heard this.

In the moment of her emotions, her first thought was to beat him up. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had indeed gone too far.

We can’t do this. What if it gets broken?

Come to think of it, the habit of moving his hands was something he developed in his first year of high school.

Alas... I'd better change it and be a gentle person.

After figuring it out, she hurried in and stood behind Xu Zhe'an, resting her forehead on his back, muttering:

"One bad news and one good news, which one should I listen to?"

"wait a sec."

Xu Zhe'an adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner and put the remote control back in its place before turning around.

"Let me see which little girl is looking sad. Hmm...she's pretty. Why would she be unhappy?"

He sensed from the words just now that Jiang Yun was in a bad mood, so he held her face and pinched it.
"I should have made it clear to you then. Don't be angry anymore, okay? If you want to vent, you can do it. I won't say anything."

In fact, she always hit him softly and never used heavy hands, and she could always use this as an excuse to ask for comfort. Generally speaking, she didn't lose much, and she even made some money.

"Let me tell you the good news first. I've decided not to fight you anymore. I promise not to break my promise."

Jiang Yun stretched out her forearms, looking as if she was swearing to the heavens.

"It's okay, I have thick skin."

Xu Zhe'an doesn't care about this.

But Jiang Yun was very serious and would not let go unless she agreed.

"Alright, I've witnessed it. Please put your hands down, Jiang Yun."

Xu Zhe'an smiled knowingly, pressed his palm against Jiang Yun's fingertips, and changed the subject:

"What about the bad news?"

"I need you to coax me."

Jiang Yun tilted her head back and pouted.

"Tell me how you want it."

Xu Zhe'an gently pinched her nose with his hand.

"Hold~" "Okay."

He agreed, picked her up, and walked to the sofa and sat down.

Make her angry - coax her - be sweet, this pattern has been going on for a few days.

But fortunately, she is now willing to say what she thinks, because guessing is a very difficult thing.

During the quiet minutes, Jiang Yun rested her head on Xu Zhe'an's chest as usual.

She thinks listening to others' thoughts is very interesting, and it is the most intuitive manifestation of love.

At a certain moment, the two people happen to be in sync, and their love is greater than the sum of one plus one.

"Little Jiang Yun, I want to ask you a question."

Xu Zhe'an said when he saw her expression improve.

"Just ask."

Jiang Yun released her arms from hugging Xu Zhe'an, and contentedly she moved her legs to the ground and sat down beside him.

"Which of us is the kid?"

Xu Zhe'an wanted to bring the topic back to the idea that had suddenly occurred to him.

"you."

Jiang Yun grabbed Xu Zhe'an's hand, answered with her eyes rolling, and wrote his name on the palm of his hand.

"What's the reason?"

"You've gained some weight on your face lately. Where did it come from?"

Jiang Yun poked Xu Zhe'an's face and continued triumphantly:

"Of course I fed it myself~"

"Is this a reason?"

Xu Zhe'an asked in confusion, he really couldn't understand Jiang Yun's current train of thought.

"It counts with me anyway."

Jiang Yun couldn't think of any other reason. In terms of care alone, Xu Zhe'an gave her more.

The reason why she doesn't want to admit that she is a child is because she has been her own little adult all the way and has long been accustomed to the feeling of being an adult.

Faced with an answer that was tantamount to playing rogue, Xu Zhe'an held his forehead and shook it slowly, sighing helplessly.

"Am I wrong?"

Jiang Yun held his wrist and asked, not quite understanding why he was bothered by this issue.

"No problem."

"Hee hee~"

Jiang Yun smiled happily after receiving Xu Zhe'an's affirmation.

How should I tell you?

Xu Zhe'an fell into deep thought. It was true that tomorrow was Children's Day, but for Jiang Yun, it was her mother's death anniversary.

A five-year-old child celebrated a special holiday for children in kindergarten. It should have been a joyful day, but he suddenly heard bad news at the end of it.

Ever since he learned about this, he has often imagined how painful, helpless and frustrated Jiang Yun must have been at that time.

"Why aren't you talking, little Xu Zhe'an?"

Jiang Yun stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him.

"Think about things."

Xu Zhe'an responded indifferently.

Jiang Yun noticed that the light of her little sun had weakened. She thought about the reason for a moment, but she couldn't come up with an answer. So she blew a breeze gently on his cheek and asked softly:

"What are you thinking about? If you can't figure it out by yourself, you can tell me."

"No, it's a secret."

Xu Zhe'an rejected her proposal.

But Jiang Yun refused to give up and shook his arm.

"Oh... tell me."

"Then let me ask you another question."

Xu Zhe'an looked slightly serious.

"Okay, you can ask as many questions as you want."

Jiang Yun's smiling face returned to normal.

"Do you think you're a good boy?"

"Good boy~ I'm so good!"

Jiang Yun answered with certainty.

"Then I'll give you a reward, would you like to?"

Xu Zhe'an's expression became mysterious, as if he had prepared a super surprise.

Jiang Yun seemed a little hesitant.

"You tell me first, I want to see if I can have it."

If it's something substantial, she really doesn't want to accept it.

Although everyone dislikes surprises and gifts, the feeling of guilt that follows will make her feel uncomfortable.

Xu Zhe'an had already thought it through, and said with a smile:

"I'll reward you by letting you be a child again. Do you accept it?"

“I don’t quite understand.”

Jiang Yun frowned.

If you were to talk about what it felt like to be a child, it was very obvious and comforting when he took good care of me.

But that's obviously not what it means.

Tomorrow is not special. It is my mother's death anniversary. Is he afraid that I will be in a bad mood and wants to comfort me?
How can you be so careful?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun felt warm in her heart.

"I'll take you somewhere after school tomorrow afternoon."

Xu Zhe'an didn't like to see Jiang Yun frowning, so he raised his hand to help her relax her brows and asked.

"Go, wherever you go I will go, always following your footsteps."

Jiang Yun rubbed her hands together to make sure they were not cold, then she placed them on Xu Zhe'an's face and touched it, inviting him:

"I'm going to go cook first. Do you want to help your lovely sister?"
