When Xiaoyouyou opened her eyes and woke up, she felt sore all over and didn't have the strength to get up.
She turned her head and saw her mother and uncle sleeping together on the sofa. The little one smiled happily; her uncle had finally come to see Youyou.
But what's wrong with Youyou? Why can't she move?
"Mommy...Mommy..." Little Youyou called out weakly to Mo Niannian. She was thirsty and hungry.
The little guy wanted to sit up.
"Hmm..." Mo Niannian, who was fast asleep, vaguely heard Xiao Youyou's voice. She couldn't help but frown, open her eyes, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Youyou with bright eyes on the bed.
Yoyo is awake!
"Youyou!" Mo Niannian quickly got up and went to Youyou's bedside. "Is there anything else that hurts? Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
As he pulled away from the person beside him, Xuan Mingyu also woke up. Seeing Mo Niannian sitting by Xiao Youyou's bedside, he went over to her. As soon as the little one saw Xuan Mingyu coming over, she pouted and burst into tears.
Mo Niannian and Xian Mingyu were both completely confused. What was wrong with Youyou? She usually loved seeing Xian Mingyu, so why was she crying when she saw him now?
"Uncle... Waaah... Uncle, hug me..."
"Okay, Uncle will hold you." Without touching the little one's wound, Xuan Mingyu and Mo Niannian slowly helped her sit up. Little Youyou stretched out her little hands and kept trying to burrow into Xuan Mingyu's arms, as if she was afraid that her uncle would disappear again in the blink of an eye and abandon her.
Xian Mingyu gently patted Xiao Youyou's back, "Youyou, did you fall off the slide by yourself? Or did another child push you? Did you argue with another child?"
Recalling the scene, tears welled up in Xiaoyou's eyes, and she shook her head. "Youyou fell down by herself. No one pushed you. Youyou wanted to hit them, but you were too clumsy and missed."
"Why did you hit the child?" Mo Niannian couldn't understand. She had taught her countless times since she was little that she shouldn't hit people and that she should be a civilized and polite little girl. How could she go and fight with someone?
"Because they said that Youyou is a child without a father... They have never seen her father come to pick her up, and they said that Youyou only has a mother and no father, that she is an incomplete child, and that her father doesn't want her mother anymore, nor does he want Youyou anymore..." The little one spoke with great grievance, and cried even harder and louder.
"Youyou has a daddy, Youyou has a daddy... Mommy, Youyou likes Uncle, can you let Uncle be Youyou's daddy? Youyou wants a daddy... Waaaaah... Wants a daddy..."
“Youyou…” Seeing the little one like this, Mo Niannian couldn’t help but tear up.
Those little brats in kindergarten are going too far. How could they make fun of her Youyou like that?
No wonder these past few days, every time she takes Youyou to kindergarten, the little one refuses to go in obediently and always throws a tantrum. When asked why, she won't say, she just keeps saying that she wants her uncle to take her to school and doesn't want her mother to take her anymore.
It turns out... it was because those other children were making fun of her for not having a father...
She's so young, yet she's endured so much hardship all by herself. When Mo Niannian thinks about all this, she feels incredibly ashamed. She's such a failure as a mother... She works so hard, trying to give her a good life, but over the years, she's always neglected the deepest desire in her little one's heart, unable to even give her a complete family.
Xian Mingyu wiped away Xiao Youyou's tears and told her again and again, "Who said Youyou is a child without a father? I am Youyou's father. Daddy will not abandon Mommy, nor will he abandon Youyou. I love Youyou the most, how could I bear to abandon Youyou? Uncle was too busy the past few days, how about Uncle takes you to kindergarten every day from now on?"
"Really? Uncle... would you like to be Youyou's dad?" The little girl blinked her wet eyes and stared at Xian Mingyu in front of her. She dreamed of having her uncle be her dad, but every time she woke up from the dream, her uncle was still her uncle, and she didn't dare to call him that casually.
“Mingyu…” Mo Niannian held his hand. If he really decided to be Youyou’s father, he couldn’t easily change his mind and leave her and her daughter. Although Youyou was just a child, she had her own memories. If one day he changed his mind and didn’t want to be her father anymore, the little one would take it seriously.
"Niannian, don't worry." Xian Mingyu knew her concerns, and held her hand in return to ease her anxiety.
He reached out and patted Xiaoyou's little head. "From now on, Uncle will be Youyou's dad, forever and ever, and will never leave Youyou again."
"Then, Uncle, won't you leave Youyou's mother either?"
“Of course,” he said, reaching out to hug Mo Niannian beside him and kissing her in front of Xiao Youyou. “When Uncle and Mom get married in the future, how about Youyou be the flower girl?”
"What are you saying!" Mo Niannian scolded, lightly slapping Xian Mingyu. How could this guy do this? Kissing her in front of a child, what if Xiaoyouyou learns bad habits from him?
Besides, she hasn't even agreed to marry him yet, and there hasn't even been a romantic proposal. He's dreaming!
"Okay! Youyou wants to be a flower girl! Youyou wants to be one!" The little one didn't really know what a flower girl was, but it sounded so lovely, and she raised her hand high with great enthusiasm.
