Happy every day
"Okay, I'll decide."
After sending the person down the stairs, the Jiang family patriarch looked at the figure in white above him. The smile on his face faded, and then he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly smiled even more happily, "Xiao Shu, good night."
Jiang Yunshu, who was above him, stopped and turned to look at him, saying calmly, "Good night."
Look, even if it’s tedious and meaningless, Jiang Yunshu will still respond… The young man smiled and nodded, “Well, don’t be afraid.”
Jiang Yunshu nodded, turned around and continued walking.
Back in the room, Jiang Yunshu took a shower, changed his clothes, and walked to the window.
Turning off the bright lights, leaving only a small night light emitting warm glow in the night, Jiang Yunshu sat in the small nest by the window, holding a chubby bird doll, looking out the window with his head tilted.
Outside the window, the stars in the sky and on the ground were shining brightly, and the peace and tranquility made her feel sleepy.
The whole body seemed to be floating on the soft and soothing sea surface, and the soul left the body and wandered in the world.
There is no happiness or satisfaction so strong that it makes the heart pound. There is no thinking about the past and the future. There is only a faint tranquility and peace in the heart.
I am the whole world.
Jiang Yunshu walked around, fell on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
…………
The next day, around noon.
The sunlight cast a golden halo, blurring the vision.
The man, who looked even younger in casual clothes, bent down and handed a small ice cream to the child in front of him. "Here, have one last one. You can't eat it after summer."
Jiang Yunshu reached out to take it and said "hmm".
"Are you happier today?" the man asked with a smile.
Jiang Yunshu took a bite of ice cream, stopped when he heard the words, and opened his mouth calmly.
"Tell the truth, please."
The man smiled and raised his sunglasses. His dark eyes were illuminated by the sunlight and almost gilded. He squatted down and looked straight at Jiang Yunshu, saying pitifully, "Xiao Shu, don't lie to me..."
Jiang Yunshu paused, as if thinking for a moment, then looked at him calmly and said frankly:
"I have no idea."
The heart is rich and will not seek anything outside, and naturally there will be no emotional fluctuations due to the outside world.
When she heard the question, she subconsciously felt that she should be happy at this moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she became a little uncertain——
Her heart was very calm, which seemed to not fit the public's concept of "happy".
Her frankness might make others laugh at her for being stupid and laughing at how she couldn't even tell whether she was happy or not, but she was indeed confused and unsure.
He asked her not to lie to him, so she didn't lie to him.
This was by no means a perfunctory remark. She was always the most serious when answering his questions... The man understood what she meant, his eyes narrowed, and the smile on his face became brighter and more brilliant.
He didn't ask for the reason or make any boasts, he just smiled and said:
"Okay, as long as I didn't make Xiao Shu unhappy."
Jiang Yunshu looked at him.
The dark eyes moved, Jiang Yunshu said "hmm", lowered his eyes and continued to eat the ice cream in his hand.
The head of the Jiang family stood up, opened the parasol, took her hand, and said in a lively and cheerful tone:
"Little Yunshu, let's go home—"
"Our little Yunshu is going home to take a nap—"
Go home...hmm.
Jiang Yunshu ate ice cream and went home.
…………
2:30 in the afternoon.
The woman tiptoed into the room, came to the bedside, opened her mouth and was about to wake Jiang Yunshu up, but her eyes unexpectedly met Jiang Yunshu's sleeping face, and her face suddenly changed.
"Miss Yunshu? Miss Yunshu?"
The child on the bed had an abnormally red face, his brows were furrowed, and tears were unconsciously welling up in the corners of his closed eyes.
Jiang Yunshu was sleeping soundly and could not be woken up no matter how hard we tried.
The hurried footsteps exploded in the corridor, startling the old guys who were recuperating in the Jiang family's ancestral land.
A pair of dark eyes suddenly opened.
"Master, Miss Yunshu is sick." said the person outside the door.
At the desk, the man raised his tired face, which looked as if he had aged several years in just two hours.
He closed his eyes, which were covered with red veins, and when he opened them again, his slightly dull eyes instantly became clear.
He exhaled silently and said, "I understand."
In the room above the stairs, people came and went in a hurry, and they were busy until the setting sun turned blood-red, and then they all left with tired feet.
Jiang Yunshu kept his eyes open in a daze for an unknown amount of time before he suddenly realized that when he woke up, the sun was setting outside the window, and the orange-red light covered a large area of the room.
She swallowed hard through her dry throat and slowly sat up.
Not far in front and to the side, a young man was sitting on a chair holding a computer, his head tilted, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep unknowingly.
Jiang Yunshu blinked his eyes, and his mind became clearer.
Without making a sound to disturb him, Jiang Yunshu supported himself with his hands and moved to the edge of the bed, wanting to get a glass of water himself.
"Rustle, rustle..."
The sound of fabric rubbing against each other echoed slowly in the quiet room.
The man in front of him suddenly opened his eyes, his dark pupils blurred for a moment. The next second, he seemed to see something, and he straightened up suddenly, saying in a panic, "Xiao Shu, wait a minute!"
Jiang Yunshu turned his head and looked at him.
The child's face still had a sickly red tinge, and her head seemed to be faintly steaming, but her pair of dark eyes that could not let any light in could not tell whether she was clear-headed or confused.
The head of the Jiang family stood up, put the computer aside, poured a glass of water, and walked over to hand it to her.
Jiang Yunshu took it and drank half of the cup in one breath, which relieved the hoarseness and pain in his throat a little.
The Jiang family patriarch stood by the table, poured himself a glass of water and drank it, then asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Jiang Yunshu felt it carefully and felt that she was just a little stuffy and her hands and feet were weak, but she didn't feel any discomfort. She immediately shook her head and put the water on the small table next to her, "No."
However, the head of the Jiang family looked at her in a daze.
He knew this child, who usually only spoke one or two words. Besides his aloof personality, he was also lazy.
Too lazy to talk, too lazy to move.
She would never do something like this, where she would answer with her mouth and then waste her energy shaking her head.
The man said nothing, but asked, "Are you hungry?"
Jiang Yunshu paused for a moment and shook his head decisively, "I'm not hungry."
She was now feeling hot and stuffy, with no appetite at all.
He shook his head, he was indeed confused due to the fever... The head of the Jiang family muttered in his heart with certainty.
"Rest a little longer. I'll get you anything you need." He nodded slightly and said, "Tell me when you're hungry."
Jiang Yunshu nodded, said "hmm", and shrank back to the center of the bed and fell down.
After a pause, she blinked and sat up, looking at the young man in front of her. There was no doubt in her face, but it was obvious that she was confused.
The head of the Jiang family suddenly met her eyes, paused, and suddenly became dispirited and distraught.
His dark eyes finally couldn't help but be covered with a thin mist, revealing a strong sense of self-blame, guilt and heartache, and his voice was low:
"I'm sorry, Xiaoshu, I shouldn't have taken you to eat ice cream..."
"It's okay." Jiang Yunshu stared at him, his expression still calm and indifferent, but there was a rare hint of seriousness and solemnity in his tone.
The Jiang family's patriarch's eyes welled up with tears, and he called out with deep emotion, "Xiao Shu..."
Jiang Yunshu looked at him and nodded.
Then with a "bang", she fell backwards into the soft bed.
She stared up at the sky with her eyes open. After three or two seconds, her eyelids opened and closed, and she felt sleepy. She closed her eyes naturally and fell asleep again.
…………
The new generation of children in the Jiang family grew up living in their ancestral land day after day and had no habit of looking at the date.
It was not until the weather turned cooler that they woke up from their dream and realized that the season had changed.
Jiang Yunshu played outside all day on her fifth birthday. When night fell, she sat on the Ferris wheel, listening to the hustle and bustle of the world in the distance.
The young man opposite took out a lighter and lit the candles on the cake. He smiled gently and said in a gentle voice, "Xiao Shu, make a wish."
Jiang Yunshu didn't do it immediately. She looked at the long dragon of stars in the night outside, thought for a while, then looked at him and said calmly, "I don't have any wishes."
Same answer as last year.
She didn't want anything, but she seemed to have everything.
The man looked at her, stunned, and murmured softly: "Really..."
This child is as cold and aloof as if he were a god from heaven. Even though he has become a human being, he is still out of tune with this mundane world.
She is surrounded by coldness and loneliness, yet she does not seek warmth. She walks the world alone, yet she never glances at outsiders.
Her heart was satisfied and her attitude was unconsciously arrogant, as if no one could leave a trace in her heart.
Is it beautiful or cruel for such children to live in this world?
The head of the Jiang family felt that if this child had nothing to do with the Jiang family, he might not be so fond of this child - because she was too arrogant, and her indifference itself was a kind of arrogance with a sharp edge.
But the child was very good to him, and he was a little worried about her future——
She couldn't protect herself.
Such contentment, such silent sharpness and brightness, require the blessing of luck and the support of the world's fortune.
Otherwise, her edge will turn against herself one day in the future.
But life is full of ups and downs.
Everyone is in this torrent...sinking and floating.
The Ferris wheel slowly turned and turned in the night, and the clamor of the distant dust intensified. Just as the car they were riding in reached the top of the mountain again, the head of the Jiang family moved.
He lowered his eyes, reached out to take the melted candle from the cake and put it aside, with a smile on his lips, he said softly:
"Then I wish Xiao Shu, you will never be troubled."
He cut the cake, picked up the fork, cut off a small piece and put it to Jiang Yunshu's mouth.
Jiang Yunshu looked calm and indifferent as he opened his mouth and ate.
The Jiang family patriarch smiled and placed another piece of cake near her mouth.
"Little Yunshu, be happy every day."
…………
Happy every day, the gentle and sweet voice floats melodiously through the night and echoes in the next morning.
Jiang Yunshu blinked his dark eyes and was taken to the study of the Jiang family's patriarch.
The young man at the desk heard the noise, raised his head, and nodded with a smile: "Xiao Shu, come here."
Jiang Yunshu walked over and was led by him around the desk and stood beside his chair.
"Xiao Shu, I want you to live outside the ancestral land for a while." The head of the Jiang family turned around and looked at her with a gentle expression on his face.
Jiang Yunshu paused for a moment when she heard this, and just as she was about to agree, two hands suddenly held her face.
The head of the Jiang family held her face in his hands, looked at her seriously, and said solemnly: "Xiao Shu, I will not abandon you."
Jiang Yunshu stared at him blankly, forgetting to move for a moment.
