"In exchange, my brother will not tell her mother that I bumped into him."
"I don't want my brother to give the big bear stuffed to his brother."
"I want to give my bunny stuffed animal to my brother."
"I have two stuffed rabbits."
"Brother only has a big bear doll."
"But my brother doesn't want to."
"My younger brother wants a big bear doll."
"The big bear doll was taken away by my younger brother."
"I'm unhappy and angry."
"I always seem to be bringing bad luck to my brother."
Even if he couldn't see the person on the other side of the phone, Xiao Xiao could still imagine a frustrated little girl with her head hanging down through her voice.
"My brother will be sad if you think about him like this."
Xiao Xiao said warmly, "What Xiaoxu wants to see is a happy Xiaoberry."
"In my brother's opinion, Little Berry is more important than Big Bear."
"Besides, isn't Xiaoberry going to give brother a new big bear doll soon?"
"Um."
The little girl nodded heavily, "I want to give my brother a new big bear doll."
"It turned out that the school held an exchange meeting before."
"I traded the bunny stuffed animal for a big bear stuffed animal."
"But......"
"The big bear stuffed animal is gone."
The little girl's tone became a little low again, but this time she quickly cheered up, "Brother's birthday is coming soon."
Birthdays are always a happy occasion.
but......
"The money I saved is far from enough."
The little girl sighed.
It’s so slow to save money.
"I thought I had to wait until I got the New Year's money this year before I could buy a new big bear doll for my brother."
"I saw a bear pendant."
“The price is not expensive.”
"I'm hesitating whether to buy this as a gift for my brother's birthday this year."
"But, I saw Master Xiao's big bear doll yesterday."
"It really seems like."
"The big bear stuffed with my brother before."
"want to."
The little girl frankly expressed her feelings, "I want to give this big bear doll to my brother as a birthday gift."
"Master Xiao."
The little girl took a deep breath and said, "The money I have saved now is not enough."
She pursed her lips, her heart pounding, and made her request anxiously, "Can I pay in installments?"
"Or write an IOU?"
"When I get the New Year's money, I will give it to you immediately!"
...
"I can buy it with you."
Xiaoyuan's voice came faintly from the other end of the phone.
"Just think of it as a gift we give to Xiaoxu together."
"don't want."
The little girl refused decisively, "This is the gift I want to give to my brother."
"I want to buy it alone."
...
Seeing that the little girl was resolute, Xiaoyuan didn't say anything anymore.
The little girl held her breath and focused all her attention on the other end of the phone.
Master Xiao...will he agree to her?
...
"Need not."
The answer that came from the phone made the girl a little confused.
Need not?
Did you mean to reject her?
The little girl's eyes turned red instantly.
She still wants to continue to ask Master Xiao -
"No need to pay installments, and no need to issue IOUs."
"You can buy this big stuffed bear."
Why?
The little girl was stunned.
Can she buy it?
She has been to the store many times.
The money she saved was still far short of being able to buy a big bear doll.
"I don't have enough money..."
The little girl is nervous.
...
"The big bear doll is mine."
Xiao Xiao smiled, "The price is naturally decided by me."
"I said if Xiaoberry can buy a big bear doll, Xiaoberry can buy a big bear doll."
It seems... right.
The little girl tilted her head and said uncertainly, "...really?"
"real."
Xiao Xiao's affirmative reply put a bright smile on the little girl's face.
"Master Xiao, can I come and buy a big bear doll this afternoon?"
The little girl squeezed the phone.
I felt a little nervous again.
"Yes, if Master Xiao hadn't-"
"Can."
Xiao Xiao interrupted the little girl's stumbling words.
"What time?"
"Ask Brother Xiaoyuan to send you here."
"Well, I will send her here."
The changed voice on the phone made Xiao Xiao raise his eyebrows slightly.
"Ayang."
"Well, it's me."
Wen Shaoyang touched the little girl's head and said, "Master Xiao, we will call you when we arrive in the afternoon."
"OK."
Xiao Xiao put away his dimmed cell phone.
...
In the afternoon, the dormitory was quiet.
There is only the constant sound of typing on the keyboard.
"Buzz buzz~"
Xiao Xiao answered the vibrating phone, "Are you here?"
"I-"
"Master Xiao."
Wen Shaoyanglang smiled and interrupted Xiao Xiao, "You don't have to come to pick us up."
"We will be at the door of your dormitory soon."
"I see."
Xiao Xiao stood up.
Opening the door, he raised his eyes and saw the figure of the child running over.
"Xiaoyuan."
Xiao Xiao smiled and moved away from the door, gesturing for the child to enter the house.
"Master Xiao."
Xiaoyuan narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Then he politely greeted Zhang Bo and the others in the dormitory.
Good tutoring performance makes people happy.
...
"Master Xiao."
Wen Shaoyang followed Xiaoberry and walked over.
"Xiao, Master Xiao!"
Xiaoberry hugged her bulging little shoulder bag, with deep dimples exposed on her cheeks that still had some baby fat.
...
"Let's talk after you come in."
After the two of them entered the house, Xiao Xiao closed the door.
...
"Big Bear!"
When the little girl saw the big bear doll sitting there, her eyes instantly lit up.
She trotted over to the big bear doll.
Pursing his lips.
A face full of affection.
...
"Xiaoyuan, Xiaoberry, do you want to eat cake?"
Xiao Xiao knew that the two children were coming in the afternoon and went to a cake shop outside to buy it.
The sweet smell spreads.
“Can orange juice be okay?”
Xiao Xiao handed the two paper cups to the child.
...
"Ayang, you-"
Wen Shaoyang waved his hand, "My sweet tooth is average."
"This is not very sweet."
Xiao Xiao smiled and pointed at a piece of dark cake, "Try it."
Wen Shaoyang shrugged and picked up the cake pointed by Xiao Xiao, "Well, it's okay."
Seeing Wen Shaoyang eating, Xiaoyuan also reached out and took his favorite cake.
Seeing Xiao Berry just looking at the strawberry mousse without touching it, Xiao Xiao smiled and took a small piece of cake with a fork and handed it to the little girl.
"Do you like strawberry mousse?"
Xiaoberry blinked, "I like it."
"favourite."
Maybe it’s because her name is Xiaoberry, and she likes strawberries the most, including all strawberry-related desserts.
So her parents always smile and touch her head, saying that she is really "deserving of her name".
...
Xiaoberry wanted to reach out for the fork, but when she lowered her head, she saw the small satchel in her arms.
She shook her head.
Now is not the time to eat cake.
She looked at Xiao Xiao eagerly.
"Master Xiao."
She opened her small satchel and took out a fat strawberry piggy bank.
There is also a strawberry-shaped money clip.
"This is all my money."
The little girl pursed her lips.
She reached out and pulled open the stopper under the strawberry piggy bank.
