He really likes the idea of "childhood sweethearts".
When Jiang Yingxu was six years old, his family changed.
When Jiang Yingxu woke up from his afternoon nap that day, the air was still filled with the sweet smell of baking cookies. He decided to tell his mother that he wanted to eat two.
But I was surprised to see my parents' red eyes.
Jiang Pinghu and Meng Lan squatted down, lowered their gazes to his, and, their voices trembling, tried to tell him the facts they had just learned in a gentle and calm tone.
For a six-year-old, some of the words they use are too unfamiliar, but the meaning is already clear enough.
"...So, you're not my mom and dad?"
Jiang Yingxu put his hands behind his back and clenched them into a small, tense fist.
No matter how smart he was, he was still just a child. He blinked in confusion and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Jiang Pinghu patted his head, suppressing his reluctance, and said in a deliberately lighthearted tone, "You will go home with your mom and dad. The new home is really, really nice. It has a big house, a beautiful garden, and a cousin who is only a year younger than you, so you can play together."
Jiang Yingxu looked toward the doorway.
His new parents stood there, their eyes equally red, filled with an excitement and nervousness that a child couldn't comprehend.
Beside them was a chubby-faced little boy named Shuli, who was curiously looking at the house.
Shuli was kept behind.
Jiang Yingxu and his new parents returned to Beijing.
The new house is really big, completely beyond the imagination of a child.
What was originally a small room has become a suite larger than his original home.
There is a bedroom for him to sleep in, a study room for him to do his homework in, and a toy room for him to play in.
Jiang Yingxu took a warm hot shower, changed into extra-soft pajamas, and lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
It's so quiet here.
Unlike my home in Ningcheng, the old house had very poor sound insulation. Even when I was sleeping in my own room, I could hear the low voices from the next room.
He tossed and turned for a long time without feeling sleepy, so he simply got up, put on his slippers, and tiptoed to open the door.
The corridor was quiet, with only the small lamps providing a steady light.
The servants have all gone home to rest.
Yan Xingrong and Ji Cailing were afraid of frightening the child by being too excited, so they forced themselves to go back to their room early and didn't dare to disturb them too much, thinking they would slowly cultivate their relationship.
The house is enormous, with all sorts of winding corridors and staircases.
Jiang Yingxu, wearing pajamas, wandered around aimlessly for a couple of minutes, looked around, and realized he was lost.
A typical child might panic and cry.
Jiang Yingxu merely frowned slightly, showing no sign of panic.
Anyway, if you go around in circles a couple more times, you'll remember the way and find your way back.
He calmly continued forward and pushed open the glass door leading to the garden.
In early spring, the nights were still a little chilly, and the wind blowing in his face brushed against his exposed neck and wrists.
Jiang Yingxu took a short walk in the garden and began to feel a bit cold.
He turned around, intending to walk back along the stone path he had come from.
Yu Guangzhong, however, saw a shimmering, moonlit light.
...Huh?
Children of this age are fearless and full of curiosity.
Jiang Yingxu changed direction without hesitation and walked in the direction where he had just glimpsed the light.
Push aside the bushes and walk around the decorative lights.
Jiang Yingxu stood in front of the garden fence and looked out through the gaps. He saw a kitten lying lazily in the middle of the road.
It's such a tiny little thing.
It looked smaller than the teddy bear on his bedside table, like some kind of exquisitely crafted doll.
Its back fur is a deep black and orange, while its chest and belly are covered in long, snow-white fur. When it rolls over, its clean and tidy fur looks like soft, fluffy snow, almost reflecting the silvery moonlight.
The glimpse of light I just caught must have been the white light that appeared when she rolled over.
Jiang Yingxu stared longingly at the kitten leisurely wagging its tail, "...Meow?"
The child's voice was still immature.
Even though I tried to be gentle, I still startled the kitten that was engrossed in basking in the moonlight.
Startled, she trembled and suddenly sat up, her round, thin green cat eyes looking warily at Jiang Yingxu.
Be prepared to escape at any time.
Jiang Yingxu simply squatted down, pressed his face completely against the cold railing, squeezed himself into the gap, and awkwardly reached out his hand to coax the cat.
"Meow meow, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
The kitten tilted its head and stared at him for a while.
Having probably determined that there was no threat through the railing, his tense body slowly relaxed.
It slowly walked over, taking its little cat-like steps.
She brought her little head closer, her pink nose twitching as she sniffed Jiang Yingxu's outstretched fingers.
The cat's nose felt slightly cool and damp, its faint breath brushing against my fingertips.
Jiang Yingxu pursed his lips, his dark eyes filled with anticipation.
He waited patiently, talking to the cat in a low voice, introducing himself as Jiang Yingxu, six years old, who was supposed to be a first-grade student at Ningcheng Huancheng Elementary School, but he had changed parents and didn't know which elementary school he should attend.
In his rapid-fire explanation.
The kitten twitched its ears and then plopped down on the ground.
She even tilted her head and meowed at him.
The kitten's voice was soft and sweet, with a drawn-out ending, like a fluffy tail sweeping across the heart.
It's so cute it almost takes your breath away, leaving you speechless.
So cute.
Jiang Yingxu's heart raced, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, then squeezed himself further over the railing, stretching out his arms as far as he could.
Little by little.
Her trembling little fingers could almost touch the kitten, but she just lazily squinted her eyes, seemingly unconcerned, and her tail flicked lightly.
I'm about to pet the kitten—
The next second.
A muffled shout, tinged with anger, suddenly came from the doorway of the villa across the road, "...Miao!"
"!"
With a whoosh, the kitten sprang to its feet.
She seemed startled by the voice, tilted her head to look, and only managed to whimper at Jiang Yingxu before running forward in a panic.
They disappeared into the roadside bushes in a few quick movements, vanishing completely.
Jiang Yingxu: "..."
I was so close to touching it.
He pursed his lips, sighed with some disappointment, and pulled back his outstretched arm, then shrank back.
Shrink.
Shrink.
He huddled against the railing.
"..."
Jiang Yingxu stopped what he was doing.
On his first day at his new home, the six-year-old stared at the road outside the railing, falling into an awkward silence.
what to do.
It seems like my head is stuck...
-
As Jiang Yingxu, whose head was stuck, was still turning his head to think of a solution, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
The couple was so frightened by a phone call from the security guard who was checking the surveillance footage that they rushed downstairs.
Fortunately, it wasn't stuck too tightly.
With careful movements and the help of Yan Xingrong, Ji Cailing managed to remove Jiang Yingxu from the railing.
When a child is embarrassed, blushes, and honestly bows their head to admit their mistake.
Ji Cailing smiled quietly, touched his reddened cheek, and said softly, "It's okay, it's the railing's fault, not Xiao Xu's."
"It's rubbed red here, does it hurt a lot?"
"Mommy will get you some skin cream to apply, okay?"
Jiang Yingxu was led back to the children's room by Ji Cailing and Yan Xingrong, who each held his hand on either side. Ji Cailing even cupped his face and applied a lightly scented children's skin cream.
He changed into a clean set of pajamas.
After tossing and turning for a while, I finally felt sleepy when I lay down on the bed.
As I closed my eyes wearily, I was still thinking about that kitten.
Soft and fluffy.
I wonder if it's someone else's pet.
He likes it very much.

"Meow Meow Diary"
I sneaked out to bask in the moonlight at night and saw a stupid human.
How stupid.
How did I get myself stuck?
Cats never do that^^
