Chapter 142 Be Happy
Jiang Nianwan was very efficient. He said he was going to the southern base and set off early the next morning.
But because she had to bring Xiao Bin with her, she had no choice but to carry Xiao Bin with her.
Um……
After all, she runs faster than she drives.
But Xiao Bin was just an ordinary person after all, and he was also old. He couldn't bear it anymore and vomited wildly on the side of the road after just half a day.
Jiang Nianwan felt a little guilty when he saw this, and quickly found a shabby but barely drivable car to get on the road.
Xiao Bin, who was driving, said apologetically, "I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm holding you back."
"Don't blame you, I was too anxious." Jiang Nianwan coughed lightly, "Xiaomi should be safe at the southern base, so take your time."
She knew that Xiao Bin and Ji Xiaomi had lived together for thirteen years, and that Xiao Bin was like a close elder to Xiaomi, so she certainly couldn't just leave it alone.
It just so happened that she could use this time to think carefully about how to start the conversation when she met Ji Ruwen at the southern base.
It has been eighteen years since she and Ji Ruwen were separated.
He is her lover and the father of her child.
She had to think carefully about what to say and how to handle this relationship.
…
…
It was already past midnight when Ji Xiaomi returned to the yard.
She walked into the yard carrying a pile of gifts, and was not sleepy at all because of her excitement.
So she decided to just open her birthday present.
She opened Ye Duo's first. Ye Duo gave her a snack she made herself and a beautiful hairpin.
Next was Chaolu’s. What Chaolu gave her was… actually a high-level energy bead!
There was also a letter.
The letter said that she didn't know how to do any delicate handicrafts, so just be simple and rough and spend money!
I bought this energy bead by asking Ye Duo for help. Although I don’t know what the final result of the PK competition will be, this energy bead can at least serve as a guarantee.
So, this is the last game, let’s have fun!
Ji Xiaomi was very touched.
This energy bead is not cheap!
Low-level energy beads are easy to buy, mid-level ones are a bit difficult to get and expensive, and high-level energy beads are in short supply.
"Thank you..."
Ji Xiaomi carefully put away the energy bead.
She didn't know how many times she had said thank you today.
She is really happy to have friends like them!
After calming down, Ji Xiaomi opened Chaoyang's gift.
It is a complete set of crystal rabbit products - a crystal rabbit ornament, a crystal rabbit hairpin, a crystal rabbit necklace and a crystal rabbit bracelet.
Is this the whole family of Crystal Rabbit being packed up?
Chaoyang also left her a letter. When she opened it, she was a little stunned.
"...I remember your favorite doll when you were little was Jinglulu, a crystal-shaped rabbit. You were sad for a long time when you lost it.
I don’t know if you still like the Crystal Rabbit, but I want to make up for your regret.”
No wonder……
Ji Xiaomi curled her lips and put on the crystal rabbit necklace and bracelet.
You know what, it’s quite nice.
The rabbit-shaped crystal should have been polished by Chaoyang herself, and then strung together with other crystal beads. She even felt the "XM" symbol on the back of the crystal rabbit.
Their gifts are very thoughtful.
Ji Xiaomi likes it very much!
at last……
Her eyes fell on the gift bag hanging on the yard gate.
She knew it was sent by Ji Ruwen.
She held the bag and hesitated for a long time before opening it.
[Open it and take a look. At least you’ll know what he gave you.]
The young man spoke in a young voice.
【You're not going to throw it away, are you?】
"Of course not."
Ji Xiaomi immediately retorted.
Then he coughed lightly again, his expression complicated: "It's just... this is the first time he gave me a birthday present, I'm a little... I don't know whether I should be happy or sad."
Speaking of looking forward to it, I was really looking forward to it when I was a child, but I also knew that my father would not celebrate my birthday.
At that time, she always envied other children in kindergarten.
Every time other children have birthdays, they happily show off the gifts their parents gave them in the class.
She longed for it, but couldn't get it.
Now that I’m older, I’d say I’m relieved… but not really.
Is it true that children will forget the trauma of childhood just because they are young?
No, I will remember.
The so-called relief after growing up is actually just coaxing yourself.
Then, pretending to be mature, I buried my childhood regrets, unwillingness and sadness deep in my heart.
Sometimes Ji Xiaomi wishes that her childhood memory wasn’t so good, so that she could remember every single thing so clearly.
Isn’t it said that memories from childhood will gradually be forgotten?
But why does she always remember it so clearly?
She was so young at that time.
【Maybe because you are smart? 】
Xiaonian started to tease at the right time, hoping to make Ji Xiaomi happier.
[Who made our Xiaomi born with a good brain? ]
Ji Xiaomi was amused: "That's right! Blame me for being too smart and too talented, there's nothing I can do~"
She stopped dwelling on the past and took a deep breath before opening the gift bag with determination.
There was a gift box in the bag. When I opened it, I found... a high-level energy bead and a somewhat old teddy bear doll inside.
There was also a card wishing her a happy birthday.
No messages.
But Ji Xiaomi fell silent again.
The teddy bear… it fell from her body when she was five and a half years old, at the end of the world.
She gently picked up the teddy bear. For some reason, her throat felt dry and her nose felt sore.
"He...came to find me at that time and found it."
After a long while, she whispered softly.
"I thought I lost it."
She always hugged this teddy bear when she slept as a child, and she liked to take it with her wherever she went.
My eye sockets began to feel sore, and then something hot slid down from them.
In fact, she didn't know why she was crying, but she just couldn't control it...
If only earlier...
if……
But there are no ifs.
In fact, if the end of the world had not come, it might have taken Ji Ruwen a long time to realize how important his daughter was to him.
Is it too late to make up for it now?
Ji Xiaomi didn't know.
How could one not desire fatherly love?
She wanted to, but was too embarrassed to forgive Ji Ruwen easily.
Wouldn't that be a betrayal of my childhood self?
I felt so wronged and helpless when I was a child.
[Okay, stop thinking too much and go to bed early.]
After Ji Xiaomi finally stopped crying for a while, Xiaonian spoke.
[Xiaomi, you are an adult now, be happy.]
He hopes his sister will be happy when she turns eighteen.
"Um!"
Ji Xiaomi wiped her tears and then smiled.
“I’m very happy!”
Very happy!
Whether it’s the company of friends, birthday gifts, or energy beads, they all make her happy!
