Xia Yi's last thought before losing consciousness was a self-deprecating smile. Everyone had heard her story, but everyone only noticed the misfortune that this little girl had suffered, forgetting what she herself had become in the process of experiencing these hardships.
This is a little girl who has been assigned to do all sorts of heavy and rough work since she was a child... Her strength is definitely much greater than that of Xia Yi, the daughter of a landlord family who came from a respectable family.
Hua Xiao watched as Xia Yi collapsed completely and became motionless. She stood up with a cold smile, her face twisted and sinister. She kicked Xia Yi twice with all her might. Seeing that she was really not moving, she quickly straightened her clothes and ran out.
She ran straight into the main room, bypassed the screen, and went into the inner room. She made no attempt to hide her footsteps, but the wet nurse sitting by the bed remained silent.
Hua Xiao seemed to have known all along. She ran to the bedside, climbed onto the bed without even glancing at Nanny Jiang, and softly called out to the little baby. Her smile was gentle, just like that timid little Hua Xiao.
"Nian Nian! Nian Nian..."
Hua Xiao called out twice, then suddenly remembered that she had been hiding outside and had overheard what Nanny Jiang had said: you have to call a little louder when a sleeping child is asleep.
She immediately threw off the covers, only to be caught off guard by a pair of dark, watery eyes.
"Sister Hua Xiao?"
The little boy, still half asleep, sat up as the blanket was lifted. He rubbed his eyes with his little hands, yawned softly, and looked at Hua Xiao with a puzzled expression. His soft, sweet voice was still heavy with sleepiness as he asked, "Sister Hua Xiao, what brings you here?"
"I, I..." Hua Xiao was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses, stiffly made a "natural" smile, and said while holding the little boy's hand, "Niannian, can you do me a favor?"
"Help?" The little boy mumbled Hua Xiao's words, clearly not thinking at all.
The little baby, woken up by the noise, was not happy. He pouted his little mouth in a wronged manner, grumbled, and turned around to crawl to the head of the bed.
Hua Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly picked up the little baby who was about to roll away. The baby's warm body was especially soft, and Hua Xiao felt a sudden sense of fear when she held him, so she subconsciously let him go.
"Nanny? Nanny~" The little baby whined, not letting Hua Xiao pull her. She pushed Hua Xiao's hand away, turned her little body back, and saw Nanny Jiang sitting on the edge of the bed, propping her head up, but she just wouldn't come over to hug her.
The little baby cried out several times in a pitiful, childish voice, but Nanny Jiang ignored her.
Hua Xiao, who had just been pushed aside, was a little dumbfounded—this little baby was surprisingly strong.
It's funny that she just whined and casually shoved, and then threw her all the way to the back of the bed, where she bumped into the wall.
No wonder... that person said, never try to use force, it will only backfire, you must coax.
A glint of malice flashed in Hua Xiao's eyes. She quickly went over and pulled the little baby back to her side. This time, her voice was even gentler as she coaxed the baby, "Niannian, be good. Your nanny is tired. Shall we let her sleep for a while?"
Sure enough, this gentle and coaxing tone calmed the little baby down, and she didn't crawl over to angrily paw at her nanny who was ignoring her.
