Chapter 403: 121: Even more beautiful than a fairy, the mother-daughter duo who are actresses_1
The little boy looked up at Ni Yang, fear in his eyes as if shrouded by a layer of gray. After a moment, he spoke in a tear-choked voice, “My dad is at home, can you not look for him, please…..”
Ni Yang laughed and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t look for him. Little one, remember to be cautious when crossing the roads. Stick to the pavements, no running. It’s dangerous, understand?”
The little boy nodded, his eyes welling up with tears.
Ni Yang took out some candies from her pocket, “Here, have this and stop crying. Big boys don’t cry, they only shed blood.”
The little boy looked at the colourful candy, wiped his tears away, but didn’t dare take it.
There was something profoundly humbling about the gesture.
“Take it, no need to be polite with me.” Ni Yang shoved the candy into the boy’s hand and pocket. “By the way, what’s your name?”
The little boy sniffled, “I…I’m Fu…Fuwa.”
Ni Yang gently patted Fuwa’s head, “Fuwa, I’m leaving now.”
“Mmm…” Fuwa nodded.
After Ni Yang left, Fuwa took a piece of candy out of his pocket. He carefully unwrapped it and put the candy in his mouth.
It tasted so sweet. So, so sweet.
So, this is what candy tastes like.
Fuwa held the candy wrapper up to his eyes, looking up at the sun. Through the dyed candy wrapper, the sun, the pedestrians, and the roadside scenery all turned into a rainbow of colours.
After trying one piece of candy, Fuwa didn’t dare to eat a second.
Such delicious candy, his father would surely like it.
Lost in his thoughts, Fuwa hurriedly started homewards.
Fuwa lived in a cramped courtyard shared by seven or eight families.
A few kids were playing hide and seek in the yard, their laughter echoing around.
Fuwa watched from a distance, his eyes filled with longing.
“The wild child raised without a mother is back.”
“Wild child!”
“Wild child!”
The kids hopped around Fuwa, teasing him.
The window in the room was shut and it was dim inside. Fuwa picked up a stool, stood on it and opened the window, propping it open with a stick. freewebnøvel.com
