Ever since Xiaoyu returned to the Gu family, she has become much more sensible than before, and her occasional temper has disappeared.
Xiaoyu seemed to have grown up overnight and clearly realized that her current happiness was hard-earned.
She thought the days would go on peacefully like this, until one day, when Xiaoyu was playing in her small garden, she suddenly heard a familiar voice outside the fence calling her name.
"Xiao Yu..."
Xiao Yu trembled all over when she heard the voice. She raised her head suddenly, but saw no one.
Xiao Yu was a little scared. She picked up the small shovel and prepared to go back, but the sound rang out again, clearly.
"Xiao Yu, look who I am?"
Xiao Yu turned her head vigilantly and scanned every corner with her eyes. Finally, at the edge of the fence, she saw Duan Meimei, who was holding the fence with her hands, her face pressed against the gap in the fence, staring at her intently.
As soon as Xiao Yu saw this face, he felt like he had stepped on the electric switch and his whole body couldn't stop shaking.
With a bang, Xiao Yu dropped the shovel and ran back like crazy, not daring to look back.
She was breathing heavily, without even raising her head, and bumped into Jiang Ranran.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?" Jiang Ranran held Xiaoyu and asked with concern.
Xiao Yu was so scared that she couldn't speak. She just pulled Jiang Ranran into the garden. Jiang Ranran was confused, but she followed Xiao Yu closely without slacking off.
When Xiao Yu pulled Jiang Ranran into the garden and pointed it out to her, there was no one outside the fence.
"What are you looking at, Xiaoyu?" Jiang Ranran was completely confused and looked bewildered.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment. She had just seen the woman staring at her outside the fence. How come she disappeared in an instant?
"Nothing, nothing..." Xiao Yu began to suspect that he had seen it wrong.
Jiang Ranran looked at Xiaoyu's frightened expression, squatted down, and looked at her gently: "Xiaoyu, if there is anything, you must tell your mother, understand?"
Xiao Yu nodded, but her eyes couldn't help but glance over there, to the place where Duan Meimei had just appeared.
At night, Xiaoyu lay in bed alone, staring at the ceiling with her bright eyes, unable to fall asleep.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, jumped out of bed barefoot, and ran quickly towards the window. Because her room was next to her small garden, Jiang Ranran specially arranged this room for her, hoping that she could see her little flower at night.
But when Xiaoyu came to the window, what he saw was not Xiaohua, but the familiar gloomy face outside the fence.
Duan Meimei was outside the fence, waving at Xiaoyu coldly.
Xiao Yu was so scared that she screamed on the spot, then pulled the curtains shut and curled up under the windowsill, not daring to stand up.
The entire Gu family heard Xiaoyu's scream, and then the lights in the huge house came on, and Jiang Ranran and Gu Tingchen rushed into Xiaoyu's room in their pajamas.
"Xiao Yu! What's wrong?" Jiang Ranran rushed over and hugged Xiao Yu, who was trembling under the windowsill.
Xiao Yu hid in Jiang Ranran's arms and cried loudly, "Mom, I'm scared, I'm so scared!"
"Don't be afraid, mom is here. Tell me what happened?" Jiang Ranran touched Xiaoyu's head with heartache. Every time the child trembled, her heart trembled with it.
Gu Tingchen stood behind Jiang Ranran, looking at this heartwarming scene, his eyes couldn't help but become gentle.
Xiao Yu didn't intend to hide it this time. She pointed out the window and shouted loudly: "There, there is someone!"
Jiang Ranran looked in the direction Xiao Yu pointed. Was there anyone there?
"No, Xiaoyu, are you dazzled?" Jiang Ranran looked carefully again and again, but did not find the person Xiaoyu mentioned. Now she even began to worry that Xiaoyu's injuries had not healed completely and had sequelae?
Xiao Yu was stunned. She looked out the window in disbelief. What Jiang Ranran said was true. There really was no one...
For a moment, Xiao Yu didn't know how to tell Jiang Ranran.
"Xiao Yu, tell your mother, are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Ranran looked at Xiao Yu with concern, and gently stroked Xiao Yu's head with her gentle hands. The caring look on her face made Xiao Yu feel the deep maternal love.
Although Xiao Yu was young, she had grown a lot after what happened last time. She tried to force a smile towards Jiang Ranran, then said with a guilty look on her face, "Mom, I might have had a nightmare just now..."
Seeing Xiaoyu's cute appearance, Jiang Ranran smiled comfortably, "It turned out to be a nasty nightmare that scared our Xiaoyu."
Seeing that Jiang Ranran believed it, Xiao Yu nodded obediently.
"But Mom is worried that Xiaoyu will have nightmares again, so Mom will stay and sleep with Xiaoyu tonight, okay?" Jiang Ranran's love for her children is always infinite.
Hearing Jiang Ranran say this, Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. She nodded vigorously, smiling from ear to ear with joy.
Jiang Ranran was happy to see Xiaoyu happy.
She turned around and said to Gu Tingchen, who looked helpless, without any politeness: "Okay, you will stay alone in the empty room tonight. I want to sleep with Xiaoyu."
Gu Tingchen shrugged, smiled helplessly at Jiang Ranran, and then scratched her nose lovingly.
"You are always so unfair to me. I will have a nightmare tomorrow night." As he said this, he smiled gently, gave Jiang Ranran and Xiao Yu a hug, then turned and left.
At night, Jiang Ranran hugged Xiaoyu tightly, and Xiaoyu felt very safe in Jiang Ranran's arms.
"Mom, you smell so good..."
"Mom, you will stay with Xiaoyu for the rest of your life, right?"
Xiao Yu's questions came one after another, and Jiang Ranran answered them all without getting tired.
All of Xiao Yu's fear was dispelled by Jiang Ranran's gentle strength. Without knowing when, Xiao Yu fell asleep peacefully in Jiang Ranran's arms.
The next morning, Xiaoyu woke up and had forgotten the terrible things that happened last night.
During the day, Xiao Yu took his small shovel to the garden to dig the soil as usual. He was having fun when suddenly, the terrible sound rang out again.
"Xiao Yu, who do you think I am?"
Xiao Yu subconsciously looked up and saw Duan Meimei's gloomy face. She was so scared that she sat down on the ground, looking at Duan Meimei in shock and dullness.
"Don't be afraid, I'm your mother. I'm your mother." Duan Meimei smiled, but there was a hint of sinisterness in her smile.
