Volume 1 Chapter 434: Awareness of the Meaning of Separation

On his birthday, Sheng Wanyan kept her word and prepared a box for him with many animals painted on it. Hu Zi loved it so much.

He originally felt an attachment to his aunt as a relative, but now he had an added sense of admiration.

"Huzi, you need to help mom take care of your great-grandparents and grandpa and grandma. Can you do that?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Zi quickly patted his chest and raised his chin.

"Make sure to complete the mission!"

Hu Zi's voice was bright and serious, allowing her to feel at ease letting her elders teach her.

Sheng Wanyan rubbed his head with a smile, exchanged greetings with the elders at home, and then carried Yi Yi into the car.

Sheng Wanze and Gu Tingxiao sat in the front, Maodou lay at Gu Tingxiao's feet, and Sheng's father, mother, and Sheng Wanyan sat in the back, holding Yi Yi.

Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng waved goodbye reluctantly, and only went back after watching the car slowly disappear.

In the car, Sheng's mother and father held Yi Yi in their arms and were reluctant to let go. They had just become close to their granddaughter, but now they were about to be separated.

"Yiyi, when you go to Kyoto, you must listen to your parents, okay?"

"Eat well, sleep well, and grow well."

Mother Sheng kept giving instructions, and no matter what she said, Yi Yi just nodded in response.

The child felt that the atmosphere today was strange, but she had not yet realized that she needed to separate.

By the time she reacted, Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao had already taken her on the train.

She also consciously felt for the first time what separation represented.

Sheng Wanyan's task was to hold Yi Yi and protect the child and herself.

Gu Tingxiao was covered in stuff, with a large piece of luggage on his back, three boxes in his hands, and several large cloth bags hanging on his arms.

Gu Tingxiao is very strong, so these things are really no problem for him. Instead, he can always pay attention to her and Yi Yi's situation.

Gu Tingxiao walked in front to lead the way, while Sheng Wanyan held Yi Yi in her arms.

It was Yi Yi’s first time taking a train. Seeing the noisy environment, all kinds of people, and all kinds of smells, he hid in her arms out of fear.

"Mom~"

Yi Yi hugged her neck tightly. Although he was afraid, he couldn't help but look up and peek at the situation on the train.

"It's okay, mom and dad are here."

Sheng Wanyan patted her back gently, stayed in her arms, and gradually relaxed.

Gu Tingxiao led them to the carriage. After entering, they looked around one by one. The couple put their things on the empty bed.

"Wife, you and Yi Yi sleep on the top, and I'll sleep on the bottom."

For safety reasons, Gu Tingxiao let the mother and daughter sleep on his upper bunk, and Sheng Wanyan naturally had no objection.

"good."

It was Yi Yi’s first time riding a train, and he was like a curious baby, touching and looking here and there.

Especially the windows in the carriage, she liked to lie there and look at the scenery outside.

"Yiyi, we are on the train."

"train?"

Yi Yi was very ignorant. This was a new thing for her. Sheng Wanyan took off her schoolbag and gave her some knowledge.

Yi Yi entered the ocean of knowledge and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. After all, Sheng Wanyan had already introduced the structure of trains to her.

When Gu Tingxiao heard this, he felt angry for his daughter. After all, if his wife started talking too much, she wouldn't be able to stop.

Gu Tingxiao packed up the things, including the food and daily necessities that the family would need for the next few days, and also went to get a kettle of hot water.

The couple divided the work and worked together, and soon the family of three settled down.

Yi Yi was sitting on the bed playing. While playing, he thought of something and looked at her and Gu Tingxiao.

"I'm going to go play with my grandparents and brother~"

Sheng Wanyan sat down and patiently explained the current situation to her.

"Yi Yi, we have to go ask for grandpa and grandma now, and after a while, we can see grandpa and grandma."

"No grandparents?"

"Not now. We need to go find grandpa and grandma now."

"No outside either?"

Yi Yi has always called Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng "waiwai". She has gotten used to it, and Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng also indulge her.

The childish voice calling "Wawai" made Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng feel relaxed and happy.

"No pot? No uncle or aunt?"

Sheng Wanyan did not lie to her and nodded truthfully to let her know the current situation.

Yi Yi pouted for a moment, thinking that she would never be able to see her relatives again, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Wow, wow, wow~ I want to go out~"

“Wuwuwuwu…”

Every time Yi Yi cried, it wasn't a loud cry, but a kind of pitiful cry that made her feel sad whenever she heard it.

Yi cried and reached out for her to hug her, and Sheng Wanyan quickly hugged her.

"Mama... wuwuwuwu~"

Sheng Wanyan let her cry her heart out in her arms, and now she wouldn't listen to reason.

"Mom and Dad are here."

Sheng Wanyan gave her enough sense of security. Yi Yi cried for a long time, and in the end she was completely exhausted.

This time she understood the meaning of the word separation, and she didn't like separation.

After she finished crying, Gu Tingxiao gave her her bottle so that she could replenish her water.

Sheng Wanyan helped her wipe away her tears and little face, and watched her slowly calm down.

"Still crying?"

Yi Yi hiccuped and shook her head. She stopped crying and had no more tears.

"Hiccup~ No, don't cry anymore."

"Okay, now that you're done crying, listen to mommy."

Yi Yi looked at her with red eyes, and Sheng Wanyan tidied up the strands of hair on her face.

"It's not like we won't see our grandparents anymore."

"It's just that we are going back to visit grandpa and grandma. Are grandpa and grandma good to Yi Yi?"

"Do you often send gifts to Yi Yi?"

He nodded one by one, held the bottle and listened to the scolding obediently, not daring to cry anymore.

"Grandpa and grandma miss Yi Yi too and it's Chinese New Year soon, a day for reunion. Should we go back?"

"It's a must~"

I answered her questions one by one indistinctly. If I wasn't educating my child at the moment, I would have couldn't help laughing.

Sheng Wanyan: “…”

Gu Tingxiao turned his head away, not wanting his wife to see the corners of his mouth curled up, so as to avoid bringing disaster to himself.

"That's right. After we visit grandpa and grandma, grandpa and grandma will come to look for Yi Yi."

"Everyone likes Yi Yi very much. Grandpa and grandma will still be able to see them next time."

Yi Yi gradually regained his composure, understood what she said, and felt much more at ease.

"Then...will mom and dad leave Yi Yi?"

"Will you stay with Yi Yi for the rest of your life?"

Yi Yi looked at Gu Tingxiao and Sheng Wanyan with her innocent eyes. This simplest question made Sheng Wanyan not know how to answer.

They can't stay with their children forever, they will grow old.

But the expectation and dependence in the child's eyes made her reluctant to break the child's expectations.

When Gu Tingxiao heard this question, he paused, turned around and hugged Yi Yi in his arms.
