Chapter 66 Auntie, My Mom Is in Heaven
Chapter 66 Auntie, My Mom Is in Heaven
Bai Qingxia always likes to keep a distance from every stranger who appears around her.
She likes to walk along the wall, because not only can she stay away from people, but the other side of her body can also be completely free to avoid contact with people, and she can enjoy the sense of security brought by the wall.
This isn't autism; it's just the way she's always behaved.
The only two people in the world whom she could safely touch with one side of her body were her father and Lu Yuanqiu.
Because these two are the only people she can trust unconditionally.
At this moment, the girl was standing in a shadowed corner, looking at the strange woman nervously. She looked at her expensive and elegant clothes, her good image and temperament, and for a moment she didn't dare to walk over.
She could guess the woman's identity, which was the biggest reason for her nervousness, just like when she first met Uncle Lu Tian.
Lu Yuanqiu gestured, "This is my mom. I often hear my dad and I talking about you, so I wanted to come over and meet you."
Bai Qingxia nodded quickly and immediately bowed to greet him: "Hello, Auntie."
"Hello, hello, Xiao Xia."
Su Xiaoya responded quickly.
She looked at the girl with tender eyes, and finally understood that her husband's description of her as "looking like a fairy" was not an exaggeration.
This girl is really beautiful...
Anyone who sees this will probably sigh in their heart.
But looking at the girl in the shadow, even Su Xiaoya, a woman, couldn't help but feel pity for her at this moment.
The other children were either playing and fighting on the playground, or waiting at the classroom door for their parents to come out. She was the only one sitting alone in the corner of the rooftop doing her homework.
Su Xiaoya was soft-hearted and had a low tear point. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't bear it. However, at the moment, her nose just felt sore. She couldn't cry in front of this child before they had even said a few words on their first meeting.
Seeing that the girl was too embarrassed to come out of the shadows, she walked over.
Su Xiaoya stood in front of Bai Qingxia and pointed at her chest.
"Xiao Xia, look at these little red flowers on Auntie's body. These four are from Lu Yuanqiu, and these five are from you. They are rewards from the teachers based on your monthly exam scores."
"He received a reward for the greatest improvement in the class, and you received a reward for being the first in the class. These five little red flowers are all yours. You are so amazing! You got five first places!"
Bai Qingxia lowered her head.
She stared at the little red flowers with some surprise, her pupils dilated, as if she didn't hear what Su Xiaoya said.
There was only one voice left in my mind——
"Xia Xia is so amazing. Look, these little red flowers on my body are all rewards from the teacher. The teacher said that Xia Xia is the most well-behaved child among all the children! Isn't that right? My dear Xia Xia!"
The voice in his memory disappeared, and Bai Qingxia slowly raised his head, staring blankly at the woman in front of him.
The friendly and vague face disappeared, replaced by a face that revealed tenderness in its unfamiliarity.
Bai Qingxia looked at Su Xiaoya seriously, and didn't say anything as if she was mute.
Not getting a response from the girl, Su Xiaoya turned her head and looked at her son in surprise, but Lu Yuanqiu looked thoughtful.
Because in his opinion, Bai Qingxia should be reserved and shy when meeting her mother, but at this moment the girl was in a daze.
"Bai Qingxia?"
Lu Yuanqiu tried to shout.
Bai Qingxia looked at him, came back to her senses, and looked at Su Xiaoya again. The face became clearer now, which made her eyes flash with a hint of loss. However, she felt like a needle was inserted into her heart, and the corners of her eyes turned red.
"Thank you... Auntie."
The girl spoke softly, looking away, lowering her head and holding the notebook in her arms.
Su Xiaoya noticed the girl's abnormality, and she said softly: "Xiao Xia, if you have something that is inconvenient to tell Lu Yuanqiu in the future, you can tell your aunt."
Bai Qingxia smiled and shook her head: "Thank you, Auntie, it's nothing..."
But your eyes are red, and you say it's okay, but I don't believe you.
Su Xiaoya was a little anxious. The girl in front of her seemed like she would break if touched, which made her anxious and distressed.
When Su Xiaoya was a student, she knew that her parents did not come to the parent-teacher meetings. The saddest moment was probably when her good friend’s parents came to talk to her and showed concern for her.
If Bai Qingxia was sad because of this, Su Xiaoya hoped that she could take this opportunity to talk to her instead of keeping it in her heart and saying that it was okay.
In her opinion, Bai Qingxia's parents' absence was definitely not just a simple one-time absence due to some busy matter.
"Xiao Xia, you have a good relationship with Lu Yuanqiu, and you help him in the supermarket every day. Just treat us as your own family from now on. Your uncle Lu and I are your family, including Lu Yuanqiu. Don't be so formal with us."
Perhaps it was this sentence that instantly made the girl let down her guard.
She then looked up at Su Xiaoya, her eyes red, and she choked up as she spoke: "When I was in kindergarten..., my mother also held a... a parent-teacher conference for me, and she was also covered with little red flowers, just like Auntie now..."
Su Xiaoya endured the pain in her heart, smiled and stroked the girl's head: "It's okay, it's okay, your mother must have her own difficulties for not coming this time. Which mother doesn't love her children? People of our age often have reasons for not being able to get away, but we just can't tell our children clearly."
After saying that, Su Xiaoya was stunned. She found two lines of tears flowing down the corners of the girl's eyes.
The girl seemed even sadder.
Bai Qingxia looked at the other person, blinking away two tears. She stretched out her trembling little hand and pointed toward the horizon: "Auntie... my mother is up there, she can't come..."
Su Xiaoya opened her eyes wide and her breathing stopped suddenly.
She opened her mouth slightly, but no words came out.
Without hesitation, Su Xiaoya opened her arms and hugged the girl in front of her, constantly stroking the girl's back with her hands.
She wanted to say something to comfort him, but she found that her throat felt as if a razor blade was stuck in it. She couldn't say anything, as if she had suddenly become mute. All that could be left was tears.
But the girl didn't make any cry. Her hands hung at her sides, allowing Su Xiaoya to hold her in her arms.
"Depend on……"
Lu Yuanqiu couldn't help but clench his fists, and tears instantly flowed down.
He turned around, his clenched right hand trembling and shaking continuously. Lu Yuanqiu looked left and right and walked to the other side of the attic.
He leaned his back against the wall and scratched his scalp twice with his hands.
"Holy shit, shit, shit..."
Lu Yuanqiu gritted his teeth, blew his nose hard, and sat down against the wall.
He looked at the sunset in the sky, but his eyes were blurry and he couldn't see clearly.
After sitting alone for a while, Lu Yuanqiu took a deep breath, wiped away his tears and walked over there.
Su Xiaoya was crying very hard at this moment, and Bai Qingxia was raising her hand and gently patting her shoulder to comfort her.
"Aunt……"
Seeing Lu Yuanqiu coming, Bai Qingxia looked at the boy helplessly, but Lu Yuanqiu didn't dare to look at her. He was afraid that if he took one look at the girl, he would not be able to control himself again.
"Mom, mom, it's okay, it's okay..."
Lu Yuanqiu held Su Xiaoya's arm and held her in his arms to comfort her.
Su Xiaoya was crying and unable to speak. Seeing this, Bai Qingxia quickly took out a napkin from her pocket and handed it to Lu Yuanqiu with both hands. Lu Yuanqiu helped Su Xiaoya wipe her tears.
"Okay, stop crying!"
Lu Yuanqiu shouted, frowning and said, "You are in this state, and you still plan to comfort others?"
Su Xiaoya wiped her tears and sobbed for a while: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm... I'm just like this, I can't listen to these things."
"Whenever I think about Lu Yuanqiu's mother dying, I will..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she opened her mouth and burst into tears again.
