Chapter 854
My daughter's voice has become hoarse.

Soaked and covered in mud.

I don't know if it was because of the cold, fear, or both, but I was shaking all the time.

Mr. and Mrs. Ruan were extremely distressed.

They didn't care about anything else and drove at full speed in the rain to take their daughter to the nearest hospital.

After the examination, my daughter looked miserable, but there was nothing serious wrong with her body, just some minor injuries.

This made Mr. and Mrs. Ruan feel greatly relieved.

However, they soon found that they had been too reassured too early.

The daughter's injuries were not serious.

However, the daughter was obviously very frightened.

My mood has not been very stable.

Even if I fall asleep, I am always awakened by nightmares screaming.

Mr. and Mrs. Ruan stayed with their daughter for a week, and only when little Ruan Xinyan no longer had nightmares at night did they finally feel relieved.

"After that, I became very afraid of thunder."

Ruan Xinyan ended her story, "Because whenever there is thunder, I will think of some bad images."

"That's it."

"That's right."

Yu Baozhu murmured.

……

"No wonder."

Xiao Lingling glanced at Ruan Xinyan's face which was still a little pale.

She was a little strange.

In her opinion, even if Ruan Xinyan was a little afraid of thunder like many girls, she would not show it so obviously.

Ruan Xinyan, who pursues perfection in everything, must have forced herself to pretend nothing happened for the sake of her image.

How could I show such an embarrassing side of myself?
……

This is really scary, right?

Even after all these years.

……

"Isn't it just that you're afraid of thunder?"

"Who doesn't have something to fear?"

Little Bell waved her hand and said, "I am very afraid of bees."

"Because I was stung by a bee once when I was a kid."

As if recalling the memory of that time, Xiao Lingling trembled all over, with a lingering fear on her face, "The experience of being chased by bees was too terrifying."

“It’s simply too painful to look back on!”

She shook her head, trying to shake off the memory replay that automatically surfaced in her mind.

"Since then, I have avoided bees whenever I see them."

"If I can't afford to offend you, can't I just hide from you?"

……

"Pfft~"

Xiao Lingling's vivid and exaggerated expression made Yu Baozhu burst out laughing.

Ruan Xinyan's somewhat solemn and stiff expression couldn't help but relax a little, her brows relaxed and curved into a slight arc.

……

Xiao Xiao watched the interaction of the children with a smile on his face and found it very interesting.

……

“I’m a little afraid of bees, too.”

After Yu Baozhu finished laughing, she agreed with Xiao Lingdang's words, "But what I fear most is cockroaches."

……

"The first time I saw a cockroach, I was so scared that I screamed for help."

"My mother was cooking in the kitchen at the time and immediately ran out with a kitchen knife."

"Still yelling what happened?"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help laughing.

I was really scared at that time and didn't dare to move. When I saw my mother, I just felt relieved.

But looking back on it, that scene was actually quite funny.

……

"My mom's face turned dark instantly when she found out I was screaming so miserably just because of a cockroach."

Yu Baozhu stuck out her tongue. "I think my mother might have been venting her emotions. She rolled up the newspaper into a tube and hit the cockroach hard."

"The cockroach died instantly."

Speaking of this, Yu Baozhu's face looked a little ugly.

A squashed cockroach isn't a pretty sight.

……

Xiao Lingdang and Yu Baozhu's words made Ruan Xinyan's face look much better.

It turns out that everyone has something they are afraid of.

Everyone faces something they are afraid of, so it’s okay to be a little embarrassed, right?
……

"But-" Ruan Xinyan suddenly smiled, "I almost forgot."

“It’s such a beautiful dance.”

“I have never seen a more beautiful, more incredible dance.”

Thinking of the scene at that time, she couldn't help but look a little dazed.

……

The beauty that came before was completely overshadowed by the horror that followed.

This was the first time in all these years that she told someone about what happened that year, and some forgotten memories came back to her naturally.

……

"But-"

"Ruan Xinyan, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

After sharing their fears with each other, Yu Baozhu was able to talk to Ruan Xinyan very freely.

She asked her doubts frankly, "How can someone have wings?"

"Besides, why would anyone go dancing on a rock?"

"How dangerous."

"This is weird anyway."

"Isn't it?"

……

“I’m not seeing things!”

"Although... it is strange indeed."

As she grew older, Ruan Xinyan realized how unbelievable her experiences were.

In fact, she herself began to have some doubts.

Was everything that happened back then just a dream? Or just an illusion?
But, she also thought, how could such a beautiful and wonderful dance be just an illusion?

She definitely saw it with her own eyes!
……

"Just because something is strange doesn't necessarily mean it's not true."

Xiao Xiao bent down and touched the head of the girl who looked distressed and tangled, "Xinyan is very lucky."

“It’s so rare to see such beautiful dance.”

……

"Yes."

Little Bell nodded, with a look of longing on her face, "I also want to see such a beautiful dance."

……

"Me too."

Yu Baozhu immediately put aside her doubts and actively raised her hand in response.

If this dance really existed, she would definitely want to see it.

……

"Ah."

Ruan Xinyan raised her chin slightly and returned to her initial proud look.

If the price of enjoying that dance... was her fear of thunder, she felt that such an outcome would not be so unacceptable.

……

Besides, her fear of thunder was only temporary.

She is still a child now.

When she grows up, she won't be afraid of thunder anymore.

That's what her parents told her.

……

Summer rain comes quickly and goes away quickly.

After a while, the clouds disappeared and the sky became clear.

……

Several children ran into the yard and started having fun.

The air after the rain is particularly fresh and smells good, and the lingering water vapor brings a hint of coolness.

……

"Big brother, goodbye."

Xiao Lingdang got into her father's car, stuck her head out of the window and waved to Xiao Xiao, "Ajiu, goodbye."

……

"Goodbye, little bell."

Xiao Xiao bent down slightly, reached out and held the little white fox's paw and shook it gently.

The little white fox opened its eyes lazily and glanced upward at Xiao Xiao, then let him do what he wanted.

The little girl's eyes lit up and she smiled even more happily.

……

"Mr. Xiao, my daughter is bothering you again."

"I'm really troubling you."

Uncle Jin grinned.
