Chapter 431
"...I don't understand." Yun Mian covered the book cover with her small hands, puffed up her face slightly, and frowned: "Why are mermaids not human, but they are also as love-minded as humans?"
She even felt that this fairy tale had no logic at all. Whether it was the mermaid, the princess from the neighboring country, or the mermaid... they all seemed to have no brains.
The 15-year-old Yunmian struggles for survival every day and experiences the warmth and coldness of human nature. At this moment, she cannot use her own thinking to understand the behavior of any character.
Is this what children listen to before going to bed every day?
Yunmian didn't understand, didn't comprehend, and didn't want to listen.
Seeing this, Yun Jinyi hid his smile and calmly closed the story collection that Mianmian had always disliked.
The VIP waiting room was not noisy. Yunmian and her mother ate a bowl of noodles before boarding the plane with a full stomach.
This was also Yunmian’s first time on a plane.
When walking in the aisle, you can see the plane parked on the apron. It is different from the small one that Yunmian saw when he looked up at the sky when he was a child. This plane is very large. Yunmian's eyes are curiously looking over its wings and fuselage.
So this is the plane...
The child jumped for a bit with excitement, but soon as he stepped on the plane, he clutched his mother's clothes nervously.
Yun Mian felt a little nervous when she thought about being taken high into the sky by a plane.
Children begin to unconsciously preset many images in their heads.
But the environment in the first-class cabin was so comfortable, and the plane took off and flew smoothly without any shaking. Yunmian's little nervousness was quickly replaced by a sense of novelty.
She couldn't help looking out the window.
"Mom, there are so many big clouds, and they look so soft~" Yunmian almost pressed her face against the window.
It is daytime now and the plane will be flying for two hours. Yunmian feels that she can see the white clouds for a long time.
Some are large rolling clouds, some are wispy clouds, and some are mountain peaks that penetrate the clouds...
Yun Mian was almost mesmerized by the sight.
She wanted to share what she saw with Wu Yin, but there was no Wu Yin in this world. She could only remember everything she saw carefully in her mind, and describe them to Wu Yin one by one after she left.
At this time, the child has no idea that he will die at the age of 15.
I don’t know that the memories I have now are just memories and I can never go back to them.
After completely filling her stomach with the delicious airplane meal, Yunmian yawned and felt sleepy. Even though she wanted to look at the clouds in the sky outside the window, children have limited energy. Even if she forced herself to stay awake, she soon curled up in the seat and fell asleep.
By the time she woke up, the return journey was almost reaching the destination.
Looking down from the window at this time, Yun Mian saw a miniature of the entire city.
It was already evening, and the city was dotted with lights. Yun Mian saw all of this reflected in her eyes, as if the galaxy in her eyes was also lit up.
"Mom, we are going home." Yunmian turned around and looked at her mother.
Then I met my mother's gentle gaze.
She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that her mother's eyes seemed to have been on her from beginning to end throughout the journey.
Yunmian pursed her lips, and the next second she gave her mother a big smile.
It would be nice if I could go back to her home in that world.
Sitting in the car on the way back, Yun Mian felt that her body was still a little light-headed and she even felt a little dizzy.
The road was very quiet. Yunmian was holding the flowerpot made by Mianmian and her mother from the previous memory. A round little ball was rolling around unconsciously in the flowerpot.
"Mom, when will it get better?" Yunmian held up the flowerpot and showed her mother the small ball in the pot that was still motionless.
Yun Jinyi just gave Xiaoqiu a look and replied softly, "It's okay. It will be fine tomorrow."
Yun Mian felt a little relieved and continued to hold the flowerpot and watch the scenery outside the window receding.
After returning home, Yunmian once again faced the enthusiasm of her grandparents.
But Yunmian still felt uncomfortable.
It is difficult for her to accept new relationships, even if the other party is her mother's parents in this world.
She half hid behind her mother, looking at them carefully, and when they showed her kindness, she just smiled shyly in return.
But she was just a child after all, and the two elders probably saw that she was uncomfortable, so they changed the subject and talked about other things at home and outside.
Yunmian sat next to her mother, watching TV quietly while the elders chatted.
Logically speaking, she is no longer old enough to watch cartoons, but... who doesn't like watching cartoons?
At least Yunmian was enjoying the show.
Then he was interrupted by a sudden video call.
Yunmian tilted her head curiously and looked at the childish voice coming from her mother's mobile phone, and then saw three little faces in the communication screen.
At the same time, they also saw the cloud cotton emerging.
Meng Meng was the first to speak: "Sister Mian Mian! We are about to record the show again, do you want to play with us?!"
Hearing this, a question mark slowly appeared in Yunmian's head.
The system told her everything except what happened in the orphanage.
So when Yunmian was suddenly faced with three friendships, she felt a little confused.
Jiang Yao looked at Yun Mian, who looked unfamiliar, with a twinkle in her eyes. She said in a subtle and caring way, "Mian Mian, the program team said they are contacting you and Aunt Yun, hoping to reach an agreement with you to participate in the next program. The recording method of this program is different from the previous ones. Do you want to try it?"
Yunmian turned around and looked at her mother.
Yun Jinyi pointed the camera at her daughter and held the phone herself, but there was only a voice-over: "I have already refused. We are not a celebrity family, so we will not participate."
Hearing this, the three children all showed disappointment on their faces.
Yunmian silently hugged her mother's arm and moved the camera back.
After she was no longer in the camera, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yunmian didn't know these three children. Although they seemed to be her friends, Yunmian only had one friend in her heart at this moment.
He is also the only friend who depends on her for life.
Even in another world, Yunmian didn't want to betray her friends, although Xiaoyin might not even know that she had made new friends in this world.
This video call, which was held a few days later, ended quickly because of Yunmian's non-cooperation.
Yunmian thought that was the end of it, but soon her mother received a voice message from Jiang Yao.
Yunmian held the phone in her little hands, listened to the voice message, and then puffed her cheeks silently.
Jiang Yao asked her if she didn't remember everyone, and asked her if she was doing well after returning home and whether she was bullied by anyone.
Yunmian could easily hear the worry and concern in her childish voice, as well as her tentative attempt to get to know her.
She didn't know how to respond to this voice message.
The extremely introverted kid racked his brains for a long time before he replied dryly using the pinyin: "Thank you, I'm fine."
These five short words form a sharp contrast to Jiang Yao's 59-second voice.
Yunmian returned the phone to her mother right after replying to the message. She moved so quickly as if she couldn't wait to escape from something.
Yun Jinyi's attention was mostly on her daughter. Seeing her reaction, she couldn't help but smile and raised her hand to ruffle her fluffy hair.
"Mianmian, it's good to make one more friend."
Hearing her mother's words, Yunmian quickly shook her head: "No, Xiaoyin will be angry."
She and Xiaoyin only have each other. Now Yunmian has a mother who loves her for a short time, which she longed for, but Xiaoyin has nothing...
Yunmian doesn't want to make new friends in another world. That would be unfair to Xiaoyin.
Speaking of which, the reason why Yunmian reacted so strongly when her mother was silent in the morning might be because she was influenced by Xiaoyin and her family.
Xiaoyin was a child who was taken away by mistake. After she was brought back, she was abandoned once by her adoptive family.
But in her biological family, Aunt Wu Wan, Xiaoyin's biological mother, did not treat Xiaoyin as her own child. Not only did she not treat Xiaoyin well to make her happy, she also kept thinking about the other child and always compared Xiaoyin with the other child...
Because of Xiaoyin's experience, Yunmian doesn't like Aunt Wu Wan, nor does she like the previous child of Aunt Wu Wan.
Even that kid had once been her friend.
It is because Yunmian has witnessed Xiaoyin being hated and treated coldly by her biological mother that she does not believe in her own mother's love.
At least before she was completely sure that her mother really loved her, Yun Mian had been full of uneasiness since she suddenly came to this strange world.
If Yunmian hadn't wanted to see her mother, she might have wanted to escape as soon as she found herself in a strange world.
But now, Yunmian has a mother for a short time, has a healthy body, and can choose to have three friends.
It seemed as if she had suddenly transformed from a poor beggar into a wealthy person with a lot of wealth.
But Yunmian has always been sober.
She neither contacts nor tries to please her grandparents, nor does she contact or accept new friends. Apart from her mother as her bond in this world, the person she trusts most in her heart is the light ball system in the flowerpot that is still down.
The one thing that children know best is that everything they have is temporary and limited in time. When the time is up, it will no longer belong to them.
So Yunmian would not be greedy and want to have everything. She just carefully guarded her mother's love, which was completely enough.
At night, sleeping in her mother's arms, Yunmian was already thinking about what to eat the next morning.
After trying hard to remind herself to wake up early and not stay in bed, Yunmian finally cleared her mind, moved around in the quilt, and finally closed her eyes contentedly after she was completely in her mother's arms.
Yun Jinyi held her daughter in her arms, touched her little face which was red from the heat after she fell asleep, pulled the quilt down for her, and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and opened it.
She rejected the invitation from the program team, but took advantage of the night when Mianmian was sleeping soundly to start searching for information about the Blue Sky Orphanage on the Internet.
After the program crew left, discussions online about the orphanage and orphans became more intense.
But netizens are not necessarily forgetful, but they are definitely busy enough to quickly find new gossip. Then, in just two or three days, the Blue Sky Orphanage fell silent again.
But the Blue Sky Orphanage was still affected. The account that originally used Mianmian to film and receive GG was also cancelled, and there was no related public welfare marketing on the Internet.
Yun Jinyi looked down at the childhood photos of her daughter that she had saved on her phone, and planned tomorrow's itinerary in her mind.
She should take Mianmian to take a photo, preferably wearing mother-daughter outfits. This way, after Mianmian's memories of the first week are restored and she leaves, she will remain in this world and at least have some things to recall.
For the rest of the time, Mianmian probably doesn’t want to go out and meet too many people, so she can take the children to the studio where she works for the afternoon and come back in the evening.
There are not many people in the studio, and I am the boss, so I am rarely disturbed in the office. In fact, it makes Mianmian feel more comfortable here than at home.
Not only did the two old men notice Mianmian's avoidance, Yun Jinyi also saw everything.
She would not force her daughter to interact with more people, but would try her best to create a comfortable living environment for her daughter.
After Yun Jinyi briefly planned tomorrow's itinerary in her mind, she hugged her sleeping child again, and the mother and daughter fell into a sweet dream together.
After waking up, the sky outside the window was dim. When Yunmian opened her eyes, she just happened to see her mother's back as she was about to walk out quietly.
There was also a ball of light that was chasing its mother and chattering and questioning her non-stop.
At the same time, the light ball paused, and quickly flew back, happily touching her cheek: "Mianmian, are you awake?"
Yun Jinyi turned around and touched her daughter's eyelids, which were so sleepy that she could hardly open them, and asked her softly if she wanted to sleep a little longer.
Yunmian rubbed her eyes and crawled out of the quilt.
When her mother turned around and walked back, she followed her body instinct without thinking, yawned, opened her little arms towards her mother, and the next second she fell into a warm embrace.
It was not until she came to the bathroom and took the toothpaste squeezed by her mother and put it in her mouth that the refreshing and cool taste of the toothpaste slowly woke Yunmian from her sleepiness.
Then I thought about the whole process of how I stretched out my hands and depended on my mother to change my clothes and put on socks and shoes, and how I was carried all the way here by my mother.
As her memory returned, Yun Mian slowly stopped brushing her teeth.
She bit the handle of the toothbrush, stared blankly at herself in the mirror, and then secretly looked at her mother who was bending over to wash her face.
She almost swallowed a mouthful of toothpaste foam.
After choking and coughing and vomiting, Yun Mian clearly saw a blush slowly turning on her face in the mirror.
So shameful!!!
I am not a real 5-year-old! After waking up in the morning, I actually asked my mother to help me put on my clothes and shoes and carry me to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face!!!
Yun Mian felt that the rationality in her head was about to evaporate due to the heat of shame.
But she secretly glanced at her mother, then at her little self, feeling ashamed, and biting her toothbrush while trying to brainwash herself.
No, it's okay, it's just... a hug. This is my mother, not a stranger, so what's wrong with a hug? Even if I'm 25 years old, I'm still my mother's baby girl!
Thinking of this, the heat on her face slowly faded away, but the happiness and joy filled with love in her heart could not be ignored.
It turns out that having mother's love is such a wonderful and addictive thing.
It’s a pity that I can only have it for three short days.
How great it would be if Xiaoyin and I could both have our mother’s love?
Then they will definitely not be like the little beggars who curl up in the corner and can only carefully peek at other children being loved.
They would definitely not live such a difficult and miserable life. Looking around, they live alone as if they have no worries, and their lives are as meaningless as weeds.
"Mianmian, why are you daydreaming?" Someone patted her head gently.
Yunmian came back to her senses, looked in the mirror and looked down at her mother, then obediently spit out the toothpaste foam and drank water to rinse her mouth.
Then I tilted my face back and let my mother cover my face with a warm towel.
Hey, a 5-year-old kid needs his mother's help even to wash his face~
Yunmian followed her mother to the kitchen, jumping and skipping. Even the system could easily see that she was in a good mood at the moment.
The system was still squatting on Mianmian's head.
After finding out that the system did not flatten her hair that had just been tied up by her mother, Yunmian obediently let it squat like a little master.
"Mom, let me help you~"
Yunmian rolled up her sleeves, stood beside her mother very experiencedly, and stood on tiptoe to watch her take out ingredients from the refrigerator.
There is a nanny at home, but she is only responsible for the three meals a day for the two elderly people. Due to work and personal habits, Yun Jinyi basically takes care of her three meals a day by herself.
"What does Mianmian want to eat?" Yun Jinyi lowered his head and asked his daughter.
Yunmian had obviously thought about it a long time ago, and answered without hesitation: "I want to eat soup dumplings and corn dumplings!"
Dumplings need to be made freshly, and soup dumplings also need to be made freshly.
There was no broth in the refrigerator, so Yun Jinyi thought about it and decided to stew another pot of beef ribs.
After stewing the beef shank in a pressure cooker, Yun Jinyi slowly sat in the kitchen with her daughter to make dumplings and buns.
She didn't ask Mianmian if she could wrap it.
The child, who has lived alone for seven years, has been forced to improve her life skills. Not only can she wrap, but she can do it very quickly.
When making dumplings, Yunmian was very focused and the expression on her face unconsciously became cold.
She seemed to have become Mianmian again in that world without a mother.
The system couldn't help but jump and knock on Mianmian's head. At the same time, a hand covered with flour reached out and smeared it on Mianmian's face.
Yunmian: “…”
So childish!
But she was reluctant to wipe off the white marks on her face.
It seemed that this could remind herself that she was still in this world, and she was not dreaming, and she didn't have to worry about waking up from the dream in the next second.
The soup dumpling was small and exquisite. Yunmian didn't care about the heat. She carefully bit a small hole in it, and the fragrant and hot soup flowed into the white small dish. Yunmian took a bite slowly, and after finishing the soup dumpling, she drank the soup happily.
She developed the habit of eating soup dumplings when she was a child. Because she was greedy, she wanted to drink the soup first when eating soup dumplings. As a result, the boiling soup burned her tongue. From then on, she learned her lesson and never ate soup dumplings with soup again.
After drinking the soup, Yun Mian picked up a plump corn dumpling stuffed with fillings with a fork, dipped it in the balsamic vinegar in another small dish, took a bite, sighed with satisfaction, squinted his eyes, and his short legs dangling on the stool couldn't help but sway from side to side.
Just like the rice cake and porridge yesterday morning, it was a taste that was completely unique to her mother, a taste that was deeply hidden in her memory and always popped up from time to time, making her miss and feel sad.
It was not just the satisfaction brought by the food. If I had to describe it, it was probably more like the desire gap in my heart that had been filled for many years, so she was finally not so poor and greedy.
Beef shank bones are also very fragrant and delicious. When Yunmian bit off the chewy beef from the bones, he deeply understood that he was essentially a carnivorous animal.
She actually couldn't remember how long it had been since she had eaten meat, let alone expensive and fresh beef.
Because she is saving money recently.
The end of the semester is coming soon. Xiaoyin has excellent academic performance and will graduate soon. She will definitely be able to get into a good university, but going to university requires a lot of money.
Xiaoyin doesn't have that much money.
Wu Wan's money was not Xiaoyin's. She was physically disabled, and her daily expenses were already extremely high. Even if she managed to save a little bit of money, Xiaoyin said that it was left by Wu Wan for Li Zhaozhao.
Wu Wan couldn't afford Xiaoyin's college tuition.
Yunmian no longer had the chance to study after her mother's death. She knew how it felt to be looked down upon for being uneducated, so she didn't want Xiaoyin to be forced to give up a better future because of poverty.
So before coming to this world, Yunmian was gritting her teeth and saving money for Xiaoyin's future tuition.
She couldn't bear to buy new clothes, nor did she need new clothes.
She eats the cheapest vegetables every day, and sometimes even only eats plain noodles or white rice. She only buys meat once or twice a week, and that is only when Xiaoyin comes back from vacation. Only when she has enough nutrition can Xiaoyin's body not collapse while studying.
Yunmian didn't feel that she was working hard, and she was able to control her appetite and hunger very well. She always felt that she had it under control very well, and she even told Xiaoyin every time that she didn't like to eat meat.
She told so many lies that she even convinced herself that she really didn't like eating meat and only liked to eat vegetarian food.
But it was not until she came into this world and ate that bowl of beef noodles with big chunks of beef at the airport yesterday afternoon that she realized how much she loved eating meat.
Now, when she bit off a mouthful of beef, Yun Mian couldn't help but have red eyes. She lowered her head to conceal it, puffed out her cheeks and chewed hard.
The beef is delicious.
The soup dumplings are delicious.
The corn dumplings are delicious too!
Yunmian even drank a full bowl of broth, and only put down her bowl and chopsticks contentedly when her belly was full.
As soon as Yun Jinyi saw how hard her daughter was eating, she guessed how hungry she was in this memory.
So she didn't stop the child from eating.
If it was Mianmian’s body from another world, if she ate like this, Yun Jinyi would have stopped her long ago.
Because in comparison, Yunmian's physical fitness at the age of 15 is actually much worse than this 5-year-old body.
After all, this body has been carefully fed by Yun Jinyi every day since it came to this world, while in another world, Yun Mian is desperately ruining her body in order to save money.
"Mianmian, open your mouth." Yun Jinyi found some digestive tablets at home and fed them to the child.
Yunmian sat on the stool, covered her mouth and burped, but she was not as shy as yesterday. Instead, she asked her mother with bright eyes, saying that she wanted to continue eating meat at noon.
“Okay.” Yun Jinyi agreed with a smile, and carried the overstuffed child to the sofa to watch TV while rubbing her belly to prevent Mianmian from feeling nauseous and uncomfortable.
Yunmian lay in her mother's arms like a kitten, allowing her owner to rub her round belly through her clothes.
Looking at her mother lowering her head and concentrating on rubbing her belly, Yunmian secretly clenched her fists in joy in her heart: The food my mother cooks is the most delicious food in the world!
In this world, Mianmian and her mother have turned their lives into a food story~
There will be an update tomorrow night as well!
