She and Mu Nian had nothing except the verbal agreement between adults - or rather a joke.
In recent years, even if everyone makes fun of them, they still pay attention to their scale.
After all, she is still young, and Mu Nian is not really very old.
They suddenly became like this, probably...this is the only way.
There is nothing substantial between them, so what can they do?
"Mom," Luo Xin'an buried her face in her mother's arms, "I won't tell Nian Nian anymore. I don't want to tell him."
Luo Xiaoxi knew that this was the decision Xin An really wanted to make.
She did it not only for Nian Nian, but also for them to get along naturally in the future.
It's just that I feel so wronged to her.
"Okay, then don't tell Nian Nian. When you get home, mom will accompany you to tell Aunt Youning the answer." Luo Xiaoxi looked at her daughter with admiration, "Xin'an, you are the bravest girl mom has ever seen.
!”
Luo Xin'an shed tears and shook her head desperately in her mother's arms.
If she had a choice, she hoped she wouldn't need to be so brave.
Now, she is just forced to choose to be brave.
After all, telling Nian Nian the truth will not help, it will only increase the embarrassment when they meet in the future.
It's better to let her bear the memories of their past alone and give them a future worthy of brother and sister.
After a long time, Luo Xin'an asked: "Mom, why didn't you persuade me just now? You didn't want me to tell Nian Nian the truth, right?"
"I know you are talking angrily. In the end, you will still think about Niannian." Luo Xiaoxi hugged her daughter, "Xinxin, just cry. You can cry as loudly as you want now."
For the rest of the journey, Luo Xin'an didn't even raise her head.
At first, she just whimpered quietly.
As the situation in front of her became clearer and clearer, and the future between her and Mu Nian became increasingly blurry, she finally couldn't restrain herself and burst into tears.
This was the first time in her life that she cried so sadly.
This first time was because of Mu Nian.
We were not far from Dingya Villa, and the driver reminded us softly: "Madam, Miss Xin'an, we are almost home."
Luo Xiaoxi said "hmm" and gently stroked her daughter's back a few times.
Of course Luo Xin'an understood what her mother meant and immediately stopped crying and adjusted her mood.
After the car drove into the villa area, she said to the driver: "Go to Uncle Mu's house."
Luo Xiaoxi asked the driver to listen to his peace of mind.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of Mu's house.
Xu Youning heard that Luo Xiaoxi and Xin'an were coming and hurriedly came out to welcome them.
She had just received news from Mu Sijue and knew that Xin'an had called Niannian.
On the phone, Xin'an just expressed concern and muttered a few words, but didn't say anything. She thought Xin'an still needed time to think about it.
Unexpectedly, the little girl came directly over!
Xu Youning walked out of the door, and Xin An just got out of the car - her eyes were still red and swollen, and there were faint traces of tears on her face.
When Xu Youning saw it, his heart twitched slightly.
Overnight, Xin'an was regarded as an ordinary little sister by Nian Nian.
Nian Nian felt nothing about it.
I should cry for peace of mind.
Xu Youning took the little girl's hand and said, "Xin An, I'm sorry."
Luo Xin'an shook her head - she knew that no one in the family could be blamed for this, especially Uncle Mu and Aunt Youning. They were the people who least wanted Nian Nian to get hurt.
There is no explanation for this matter.
Bad luck is going to happen, it will happen, how can there be so many explanations?
Luo Xin'an took a shallow breath and said in a hoarse crying tone:
"Aunt Youning, I've decided not to tell Niannian the truth."
"Just...that's it."
"Niannian treats me as her sister, and I will treat him as his sister. If I tell him the truth, he may be confused. When we meet in the future, we won't be able to get along naturally. I don't want to embarrass him."
The little girl was thinking about Niannian in every word. She didn't seem to think about herself.
Xu Youning struggled in his heart several times, but still said: "Xin'an, it turns out that you and Niannian... are not born with feelings. You... do you understand what Aunt Youning means?"
She said it very cryptically, because it was somewhat selfish.
She and Si Jue had always liked Xin'an very much. Although the baby kiss was just a verbal agreement, the couple had always taken it seriously.
Now Nian Nian's attitude toward Xin'an has changed 360 degrees. Xin'an is so small, she will meet many people in the future, and she will have unlimited emotional possibilities...
She shouldn't have used such words to give Xin An hope and trap her in place.
She said this now because she couldn't bear to see Xin An so sad.
Luo Xin'an has always been smart, so she naturally understands what Aunt Youning means.
This sentence indeed ignited a glimmer of hope in her heart.
But who can guarantee that?
She and Mu Nian will meet many people in the future.
Perhaps, this was the opportunity God gave her and Mu Nian to make a new choice.
Luo Xin'an lowered her gaze and did not respond to Xu Youning's words. She just said: "Aunt Youning, I'm back. Today... I have a lot of homework."
Luo Xiaoxi asked Xin'an to get in the car first, and she pulled Xu Youning aside.
Xu Youning's expression was complicated, the most obvious one was his distress for Xin'an, and a hint of guilt.
Luo Xiaoxi signaled You Ning not to blame herself and said: "Xin'an has always been smooth since she was a child. This time... maybe it is a test of fate for her! You Ning, I have something to ask you for help.
.”
"Say it!" Xu Youning's eyes were firm, "Xiao Xi, whether I can do it or not, I will help you."
Of course Luo Xiaoxi would not embarrass You Ning, "Nian Nian and Xin An's baby kiss, from now on... let's not mention it in front of the two children."
In the past, they teased Nian Nian and Xin An's baby relatives because they knew that the two children had a foundation of affection and it was fun to tease them.
But in the future, this verbal agreement will probably only embarrass Nian Nian.
No matter how I hear it, I will only be sad.
Perhaps it would be best to let this agreement fade away as Nian Nian's feeling of peace of mind fades away.
Although Xu Youning was reluctant to let go, he knew that this was the last thing they could do for peace of mind, so he nodded, "Okay."
Luo Xiaoxi didn't say anything else, got in the car and asked the driver to drive home.
When the mother and daughter got off the car, Su Yicheng also happened to arrive home.
Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue were out of the country, and Su Yicheng and Shen Yuechuan were so busy during this period that they often went home late at night.
Today, Su Yicheng probably left work early for his daughter.
After getting off the car, Su Yicheng hid his hands behind his back and walked to his daughter mysteriously.
As if he couldn't see the tears on his daughter's face, he smiled and said: "Peace of mind, dad brought you a gift!"
Luo Xin'an pursed her lips and said, "My birthday isn't here yet."
"I want to give my daughter a gift, but do I need to pay attention to the date?"
As if by magic, Su Yicheng conjured a bamboo basket from behind.
Inside the bamboo basket was a pink and white towel, with a snow-white puppy curled up on it.
The puppy raised his head and looked at Luo Xin'an, his bright eyes covered with a layer of distressing moisture.
"From now on, it's yours." Su Yicheng motioned to his daughter to take it, "Do you like this gift?"
Luo Xin'an temporarily forgot her bad mood.
She nodded sharply, carefully picked up the puppy from the basket, and looked at her father with surprise, "I've always wanted to raise a puppy!"
When she grew up, the only thing she wanted but couldn't get was a puppy.
She kept changing her methods and begged her father countless times, but she never got permission to raise a puppy.
Because her father is mysophobic!
She lost Mu Nian, but gained the puppy she had longed for.
Luo Xin'an kissed the puppy, and her eyes that had just cried finally became bright again, "Thank you, Dad!"
"Not long after it was born, I will take care of it from now on." Su Yicheng said softly, "You have to name it, buy it a small nest, feed it milk... there are many things to do, peace of mind, you
May I?"
Luo Xin'an nodded wildly, kissed the puppy, and slipped into the house with it in her arms.
Luo Xiaoxi looked at her daughter's back and tilted her head on her husband's shoulder, "Your method is quite good!"
"Only this little thing can divert her attention." Su Yicheng held his wife's hand, "I hope she comes out soon."
Luo Xiaoxi didn't want to see her daughter sad, "Xiangyi will be back soon, and we will all be with her."
At this time, Luo Xin'an had already slipped into the house.
Knowing that her parents could no longer see her, she put the puppy down and wiped the tears from her eyes.
At the end, she squatted down and looked at the helpless little puppy, and said softly, "From now on, you will be the only one to accompany me. Let me give you a name first. My name is Xin'an, and your name is... Comfort? This
What’s the name like?”
From now on, she will no longer have Mu Nian.
This puppy is the comfort she gained from losing Mu Nian.
The puppy raised its head and let out a "ooh", as if it didn't like the name.
Luo Xin'an gently stroked its head to comfort it, "Then... a gift? Is this a good name?"
Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng came in and saw Xin'an talking to the puppy seriously, and seemed to have turned all their attention to the puppy.
But they know that this is just an illusion.
In the next period of time, it will be difficult to have peace of mind.
There was no need for them to remind Xin An, they could just accompany her to maintain the current illusion.
"'Gift' is a very nice name!" Luo Xiaoxi touched the puppy's head, "Little guy, listen to Sister Xin'an and call it 'Gift' from now on, right?"
The puppy lay down as if in compromise, looking well-behaved and pitiful.
Luo Xin'an thought it was cute and called "gift" many times. Finally, she picked up the puppy and put her face on the puppy's back.
She remembered that Mu Nian also liked dogs.
He mentioned many times that when he was a child, their family also had a dog, which seemed to be a Samoyed named Mu Xiaowu.
While he was waiting for Aunt Youning to wake up, Mu Xiaowu stayed with him.
Later, Aunt Youning woke up, and Mu Xiaowu left peacefully.
He never had a dog again because he didn't want to.
Now, Mu Nian, I also have a puppy.
Just like Mu Xiaowu stayed with you, it will accompany me through the time when I accept that you have forgotten me.
Luo Xin'an thought so and returned to the room with the puppy in her arms...
