Chapter 913 Xiao Chi
"When I found the child, he yelled at me, why are you looking for him, he will go back by himself."

“That’s exactly what happened later.”

"Maybe this child just needs a space where he can be alone without being disturbed for a while."

"No later than nine o'clock, the child will come back on his own."

"I know he doesn't want me to worry too much."

At this point, the woman smiled gently.

"Xiao Xiao."

The woman looked at the young man, "Rui Rui is not a bad kid."

"Perhaps because he grew up in a single-parent family, he has been stronger since he was young and has a stronger self-esteem than other children."

"I am sensitive and sometimes get stuck in a rut."

“I don’t like to show weakness, nor do I like to ask for help from others.”

"So proud, yet so vulnerable."

“Even if he pretends to be indifferent to a little negation from others, he will care about it for a long time in his heart.”

"This time he wanted to steal the money, it was really a one-shot decision for this kid."

"Otherwise, based on this child's personality, he would never do such a thing if he wanted to save face."

The woman suddenly smiled and said, "Perhaps to you, this is just a mother bragging about her child?"

"will not."

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

"I just hope you don't hate this kid."

"I think this kid trusts you and even likes you a little bit, so he asked you for help."

The woman spoke sincerely, her eyes revealing a hint of earnestness.

"I don't hate him."

People always make mistakes.

Regardless of the severity of the mistake, he would not be so harsh if he denied a child just because he made a small mistake.

"is it?"

The woman's brows relaxed, "That's good, that's good."

"Master Xiao, are we going to buy the ingredients for the strawberry cake now?"

She changed the subject to a lighter one.

It was originally just their family affair, but it involved this young man, and she felt sorry for it.

But for the sake of the child, she had to say some things.

"You want to make strawberry cake?"

"It's not me, it's you."

"what?!"

"Why do I."

The woman's face was full of confusion.

"Auntie."

Xiao Xiao stopped and asked, "Do you remember clearly what happened when you were a child?"

"When you were a kid?"

The woman was stunned.

"Do you remember a playmate you once had?"

"A very special playmate."

"You told it that you two wanted to be good friends."

"You also said you would give it the first piece of cake you made."

There was a moment of confusion on the woman's face, but as Xiao Xiao spoke, a look of realization gradually filled her eyes.

She remembered.

She once had such a playmate.

Red hedgehog.

Such a unique look should never be forgotten.

She actually forgot it for so long.

Mingming had always lived a well-behaved life in the past, and Xiao Chi was the only playmate with whom she could play freely.

She is her most important friend.

She left in such a hurry that year that she didn't even have time to say goodbye to Xiao Chi.

Even when she thinks about this incident now, she is filled with regret.

"Xiao Chi."

The woman called out in a low voice.

Will it be very angry?

It will definitely be very angry.

Wait, she suddenly looked up at the young man in front of her, "What do you mean?" "Xiao Xiao, what do you mean by asking me these questions?"

"What do you mean by these words?"

"Xiao Chi?"

Xiao Xiao smiled and had no intention of keeping the woman in suspense. He briefly explained the general situation to the woman.

"Xiao Chi is here to see me?!"

"I can't see Xiao Chi anymore?"

"Xiao Chi is really angry."

"So, my current physical condition is Xiao Chi's punishment for not keeping my promise?"

The woman was dumbfounded after listening to the shocking facts from Xiao Xiao's mouth.

Her lips moved, and it was more like she was talking to herself out of shock than asking a question.

"Well, you could say that."

Receiving the inquiring gaze from the woman, Xiao Xiao gave a positive answer, "You were indeed sick before."

“It’s not such a serious illness.”

"But due to Xiao Chi's influence, your illness keeps recurring and cannot be cured."

"The human body is very fragile. If this continues for a long time, even if Xiao Chi doesn't really mean to kill you, your body will almost collapse."

“I think you have felt this yourself.”

That's why I was so anxious to arrange Han Rui's future life.

He even went so far as to beg his parents humbly.

Just so that the two old people can take care of Han Rui after I'm gone.

"Is that so?"

The woman let out a bitter smile. "Is all this my own fault?"

“Was I really wrong back then?”

"The causes then have led to the results today."

"Unfortunately, this evil consequence not only befell me, but also my children."

Her Ruirui almost became a thief.

She knew that if the young man in front of her had not stepped forward to stop her, Ruirui would remember this incident for the rest of her life when she woke up afterwards.

“What happened cannot be changed.”

Xiao Xiao's voice was so soft and clear that it startled the woman, and her dazed eyes gradually regained focus.

“And now there’s an opportunity to make amends.”

"Xiao Chi still remembers the cake you promised it."

"Although it can't eat the first cake you made as you promised it."

"But as long as you make the cake specially for it, it will accept it."

"It said it wanted a cake filled with strawberries."

"Yes."

The past that has happened cannot be changed, whether it is right or wrong, she has no regrets.

Even if it was just her youthfulness.

The only time in her life she was willful.

To deny it would be to deny her life so far.

"A cake filled with strawberries?"

The woman laughed, "Xiao Chi still likes eating strawberries so much."

Since leaving home, she has deliberately sealed the memories of the past in a corner.

Today, because of Xiao Chi, some yellowed memories that had been sealed for a long time gradually regained their bright colors and emerged clearly in her mind.

She remembered that when she and Xiao Chi ate strawberries together, they always fought over the last strawberry.

Whoever successfully eats the last strawberry will be so proud of himself that he acts like a fool.

She eats everything slowly, except strawberries, which she can eat very quickly.

This was all developed when I was competing with Xiao Chi.

Thinking of the scene from that year, the depressed mood she had felt when she learned the truth was suddenly swept away.

Yes, that’s Xiao Chi.

Her best friend, and also the friend she had abandoned.

Even if that wasn't her intention.

This was the result of her leaving without saying goodbye.

She was at fault first.

Then, the punishment is deserved.

What right does she have to be angry?

Moreover, Xiao Chi was just as she remembered, tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
