Chapter 369: Chapter 370: Normal and Abnormal
He lowered his head, struggling to hold back the tears that threatened to spill from his eyes. He spoke softly, “Thank you, Master!”
Master, Mistress, and Xiao Shu had been too kind to him.
In the future, he would also treat Master, Mistress, and Xiao Shu very well!
“No need to thank, no need to thank!” Before Gu Junzhu could speak, Xiao Shumiao bounced out from Gu Junzhu’s arms, grabbed Lingyue’s hand, and blurted out, “Dad is Brother Xiaoyue’s Master, and it’s only right for a Master to give gifts to his disciple! So when Brother Xiaoyue earns money in the future, Brother Xiaoyue also needs to give Dad presents!”
Lingyue nodded and looked at Gu Junzhu, “When Xiao Yue grows up, he will definitely honor Master and Mistress!”
Gu Junzhu chuckled and nodded, “I’ll be waiting for that!”
Xiao Shumiao waved his hands and jumped around, “Me too! Once I make money, I’ll buy the best things in the world for mom and dad!”
He spread his arms and made the biggest circle he could.
His adorable demeanor made hearts wobble. Ye Xingbei couldn’t resist pulling him into her arms and planted a big kiss on him.
The little guy kissed Ye Xingbei back and pulled Lingyue’s hand to run upstairs, “Mom, dad, Xiao Yue and I are going up to fetch our piggy bank!”
Ye Xingbei cautioned them, “Be careful, don’t trip.”
The little guy waved his small arms without looking back, hollering, “Got it, mom!”
Watching Lingyue, who was following Xiao Shumiao in a steady pace and climbing the stairs together, Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but shake her head and smile, “Xiaoshu and Xiao Yue are only three years apart, but I always feel that the gap is like thirteen years. Xiao Shu is always chirping and making loads of noise!”
“That’s normal,” Gu Junzhu picked up a piece of fruit with a toothpick and passed it to Ye Xingbei, enjoying a piece himself, “A five-year-old child, under normal circumstances, is still in pre-school. Apart from being mischievous, they don’t understand or know anything. Xiao Shu is a normal child, and Xiao Yue is the one that’s not normal.”
“Yes,” Ye Xingbei sighed, “Sometimes, when I look at Xiao Yue’s calm and steady manner, I can’t help but feel pained. Who would want to carry such a heavy burden while growing up when they could be a carefree child? The only reason he is pushing himself to grow up is simply due to the circumstances.”
The environment in which Lingyue lives forces him to grow up fast, otherwise he may not even have the chance to safely grow up.
Her Xiao Shumiao, even though she hasn’t been able to find him a father in the past five years, she has tried her best to create a happy and carefree environment for him, allowing him to grow up healthily and happily like other children.
Her Xiao Shu just eats, drinks, and plays every day, not having to worry about anything.
But if Lingyue doesn’t think more, do more, he would be bullied, and may even lose his life.
The world of humans is just like the animal kingdom. The young nursed by their parents always end up being less self-reliant.
Those without parental protection have to grow up experiencing various trials and tribulations, which naturally forces them to mature earlier.
She feels, Lingyue is very capable, very competent, but she would rather her Xiao Shu not be so skillful, so competent.
It’s too hard.
She hoped her Xiao Shu would always remain an innocent Little Prince who can grow up cheerfully and carelessly.
At night, after dinner, the two little ones took a bath. Xiao Shumiao, wearing his pyjamas, lazed around on Lingyue’s bed, counting the piggy and moon dolls together with Lingyue.
There were actually only thirteen of them in total. Because they were golden and inordinately cute, Xiao Shumiao loved them dearly and played all sorts of games with them and Lingyue.
As they played, the little one got sleepy. He fell asleep with several piggy and moon dolls in his embrace..
