Chapter 416 "I Like You"

After returning from Qiu's residence, Xia Tian did not delay and went to the purple sweet potato field in the back mountain to check the situation. She picked up a few stones of good quality and returned to the cave with some dead branches and some freshly picked vegetables and berries.

She originally planned to put her things aside and then go see Si Ye to decide whether he would live with her or his father.

But before he stepped into the cave, he saw a tall figure sitting on the ground at the entrance.

His head was slightly lowered, and he looked unhappy.

"Aye, why are you sitting at the door?" Perhaps because she was facing Si Ye, who had such a childlike mind, Xia Tian unconsciously called him by his nickname, her voice even gentler than when she spoke to Qiu. "Didn't I take you over to play with that handsome uncle over there? Why are you running back?"

The reason why he called Si Yuan Uncle was because in Si Ye's current cognition, he had no father, or in other words, for some reason, his brain automatically blocked all content related to the keyword "father".

Except for one very important person - Xia Tian, ​​everyone else is just NPC in his life, they are all unimportant people.

Therefore, even though the son was entrusted to the care of his father, he could only use the excuse of "playing with the handsome uncle", which is also a cause for regret.

"I don't like that handsome uncle. He's scary." Si Ye raised his head and answered cooperatively after hearing Xia Tian's question. "I don't like him. I don't want to play with him. I'm going to wait here for you to come back. Where did you go? Why did you take so long? Can you take me with you next time?"

"Wait..." Xia Tian walked into the cave and put the things in her hand on the ground. She didn't answer Si Ye's subsequent series of questions. Instead, she asked him, "Why do you think he's scary? He's obviously very good-looking. Don't you like beautiful people?"

Just before she left, Xia Tian asked him a question: "Why do you always follow me?"

Si Ye's answer was: "Because you are beautiful."

Now, Xia Tian used this answer to ask him, "Didn't you say you like beautiful people? He is so handsome, why don't you like him?"

She asked this to tease him, but Si Ye answered seriously, "No, I don't like pretty people."

"So what do you like?"

"I like you."

Xia Tian was stunned. What kind of answer was this?

She felt her heart skip a beat, and subconsciously asked him, "Tell me, do you like me?"

But after asking, she felt that her question was redundant.

Si Ye's mind is just that of a child now, and the "like" a child says is of course different from the "like" between adults.

So, what exactly was she concerned about just now...

The worst part was, upon hearing her question, Si Ye answered again, "Yeah, I like you."

Then, he paused, tilted his head to the side, and added, as if to correct something, "No, my mother said it's love... Xia Xia, I love you."

"...Cough cough cough!!!" Xia Tian choked herself and burst open on the spot.

This, this, this, what do you mean by I love you? How did this mother teach me this?

Why would a child have these memories? What is going on?

However, Si Ye did not notice that something was wrong with Xia Tian.

Of course, it was impossible for him to notice anything was wrong right now...

Confession, confession!!!
