At the time, I thought she was lively, cheerful, and talkative; now that I think about it—

That was actually her way of expressing and winning love.

She talked about everything that happened in her hometown along the way, but her mother didn't get a chance to say anything about her.

She also wanted to know how her mother lived and how she fared in the big city.

But her mother didn't say anything; she treated her like a guest, without any kisses or hugs.

That's why she kept trying to please her mother and gain her approval.

Thinking of this, Sun Lifang felt a lump in her throat—

She did nothing, yet she received her daughter's wholehearted love.

From beginning to end, she stood there, without needing to make any changes, and Zhou Xinya loved her.

Is this a kind of obsession?

If you think about it carefully, they've only spent less than six months together. How much time has Sun Lifang actually devoted to taking care of her daughter?

What makes her so special that she deserves such selfless love?

Faced with her daughter's outpouring of emotions, Sun Lifang was momentarily at a loss for words.

The little girl kept saying that she had only had her mother for six months.

Faced with her daughter's earnestness, Sun Lifang couldn't brush it off and could only repeatedly assure her, "Mom will definitely continue to learn and become a mother you're satisfied with."

She paused, then looked at her daughter's expression and added, "We'll have a long, long time together in the future. Mom will love you just as much as you do. Don't worry about who loves you more, okay?"

“No.” The little girl shook her head and insisted, “Anyway, I love you more, even if you only started loving me after I was born.”

"Then I am longer than the world you love."

"Because I've loved you ever since I became conscious."

Your love may have started in your twenties, but my love began when I was three and saw a framed photo.

Maybe we'll both grow old, but the time span will be different; my love for you will last much longer.

All this was to refute my mother's "fairness theory"—

It's inherently unfair, so how can you use taking Dad away as a solution?

She disagreed with taking her father away, and after sorting out her thoughts, she also rejected the idea of ​​sending her younger siblings away, saying firmly, "You won't abandon them either, I'm not that easy to fool."

So please be serious and communicate with me like an adult, just like before.

Sun Lifang understood her daughter's unspoken meaning, but she also felt a bit of a headache—

The little one clearly expressed his need for his mother, but also his jealousy.

She didn't blame her mother at all, yet Sun Lifang felt guilty because of her daughter's words.

"So what do you want Mom to do?" In less than six months of getting to know each other, the little girl has always been obedient and sensible.

I imagine they won't make any unreasonable demands.

Indeed, Zhou Xinya didn't make any demands. She simply wrapped her arms around her mother's neck, pressed her little head against her, and said softly, "I want Mom to stay with me forever."

"My mom has to be with me when I eat, sleep, and go to school. She also needs to hold me when I sleep and kiss me every morning and evening."

"When I grow up, I will sleep with my mom at least once a week."

Wow, you've grown up!

Perhaps because she lacked a mother figure in her childhood, the little girl's behavior at this moment is completely unlike that of a six-year-old child who is full of curiosity about the outside world.

Zhou Xinya is very nostalgic.

She was like someone who hadn't been weaned yet, extremely attached to her mother, as if she wanted to use the present time to make up for the time she envied others for, when she slept alone with a photo frame.

Six years plus six years, that's twelve years old.

Perhaps by then, the little girl will be older and won't be so clingy anymore?

Thinking of this, Sun Lifang agreed without much thought, "Okay, if this puts your mind at ease, Mom will do it."

"Now that we've talked things out, Mom will favor you a little more, so don't worry, okay?"

The little girl snorted, nuzzled her face against her mother's neck, and muttered, "We'll see how you behave."

Hey, are you still waiting to see how I perform?

Am I your slave?

Sun Lifang smiled, ruffled her daughter's hair, and mentally gave her a nickname—

A mama's boy.

Help! What if my daughter wants to sleep with me once a week when she grows up, hold my hand wherever we go, and hug and kiss me every day?

What will your future husband do?

However, it's a bit early to think about this now; Sun Lifang just found it both funny and heartbreaking.

The feeling of being loved and relied upon wholeheartedly is both troublesome and sweet.
