Before leaving, Xiao Jinbao suddenly saw several more "children" in the playground, gathered together and discussed something.
One of the children was pushed out by the crowd as a representative. He twisted his fingers and called out to Jinbao: "Sister!"
The child asked in a questioning tone: "Sister, can you send us to reincarnate?"
They didn't dare to come out when the human traffickers were here just now. The human traffickers have a way to take them away and then refine them into puppets for their own use. Many children have already been captured.
Now that they saw their big brother had chased away all the bad guys, they dared to come out.
Jin Bao patted the soul egg with one hand and waved generously with the other hand: "Come on, come on, come in!"
When the child saw Jinbao agreed, he quickly called his friends behind him to get into the soul egg together.
Not long after, a noisy sound was heard from inside the soul egg.
"Little Fatty, you squeezed me!"
"Nannan, click over there!"
Jinbao patted the soul egg gently and threatened in a childish voice: "Don't push, or I'll turn you all into bread men."
She didn't know what a bread man was, but she heard from her fourth brother last time that he wanted to find a car full of bread men to teach them a lesson.
So the bread man must be both bad and powerful, and there are a lot of them -
Sure enough, the group of children in the soul egg all quieted down, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear: "Keep your voice down, or you'll be eaten if you turn into bread!"
…
The car stopped downstairs of Xu Yuan's house, and Gu Jiang rang the doorbell while holding Xiao Jinbao.
A nasal voice sounded from inside: "Who is it?"
When the voice sounded, the soul egg trembled slightly.
Xuyuan seemed a little excited when he heard his mother's voice.
Little Jinbao was afraid that the people inside couldn't hear clearly, so he pinched his throat and coughed a few times: "Hello, auntie, it was the little boy Xuyuan who asked us to come over!"
The person inside the door was silent for a moment, and then the door was opened. Jinbao saw that his aunt's eyes were red with tears in them, and his uncle standing behind his aunt also had a face full of sorrow and vicissitudes.
Jinbao seemed to be infected by this sad mood. She said sullenly, "Auntie, can we go in?"
Zhou Xue leaned sideways and said, "Come in."
Gu Jiang followed them into the room holding Jinbao.
Almost all the furniture in the room was covered with a layer of white cloth. A black-and-white photo was hung in the middle of the living room. The child in the photo was smiling slightly, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes.
After entering the house, Xu Guoliang locked himself in the room again. After Zhou Xue poured two glasses of water, she ignored Gu Jiang and Jin Bao and silently wiped the photo of Xu Yuan.
"Yuanyuan has been a very well behaved boy since he was young. Apart from studying, there is nothing I have to worry about. The teachers and parents at school all praise him for being sensible. I feel proud every time I hear that."
"I hope he can be better. I don't want him to be as busy as I was when he grows up, so I forced him to learn a lot of things he didn't like, and a lot of the things I said were not fulfilled."
Zhou Xue didn't care whether Jin Bao and Gu Jiang could understand her or not. She seemed to just want to find someone who could talk.
Ever since Xu Yuan's accident, she has lost the desire and motivation to live, and lives like a walking corpse every day.
Jinbao released Xuyuan from the soul egg and whispered, "Go and comfort your mother. You will have one day to stay with her before you go to reincarnate."
Xuyuan nodded, but didn't know how to start. He opened and closed his mouth, hesitated for a long time before calling out.
"Mother……"
When Zhou Xue heard the voice she had been thinking about day and night, she thought she was hallucinating.
Her hand that was wiping the photo paused, tears from her eyes couldn't stop falling, the hand holding the handkerchief dropped weakly, her head rested on the photo, crying heart-wrenchingly.
"Yuanyuan, Mom regrets it. Mom is sorry for you..."
Xu Yuan felt even more sad when he saw his mother’s sad look than when he himself was sad. He opened his little arms and hugged Zhou Xue from behind: “Mom, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have sneaked out…”
After hearing the voice of making a wish and feeling the touch behind her, Zhou Xue stopped crying.
Is it a wish?
Yuanyuan is back?
Zhou Xue wanted to look back, but she didn't dare.
She knew that Yuanyuan was dead, but what if the person behind her was really Yuanyuan?
Finally, Zhou Xue turned around expectantly and saw a little head resting on her back. That profile was so familiar.
She turned around in a panic, with an expression of incredible shock in her eyes. She raised her hand and touched Xuyuan's little face. Her lips trembled slightly and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.
Xu Yuan's face was also full of tears, but she still raised her little hand to help Zhou Xue wipe away the tears from her eyes, raised a smile and comforted her: "Mom, don't cry. If you cry, you won't be beautiful anymore."
Zhou Xue could no longer control her emotions and hugged Xu Yuan in her arms with such strength that it seemed as if she wanted to melt Xu Yuan into her bones and blood.
Xu Yuan patted Zhou Xue's back gently: "Mom, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have sneaked out by myself and made you sad. I'm sorry."
Zhou Xue shook her head: "Mom is wrong. Mom didn't keep her word. I should have taken you to the playground earlier."
Xu Guoliang came out of the room at some point. He stood there with red eyes, watching his wife and son hugging each other.
Jinbao pursed her lips. Why did she want to cry too?
Gu Jiang took a piece of paper from the table and rubbed it on the tip of Jin Bao's nose: "Blow your nose."
Jinbao held back and blew his nose hard. Gu Jiang looked around and didn't see any trash can in the living room, so he held the paper ball in his hand.
Zhou Xue cried for a long time while making a wish, and her emotions finally calmed down a little.
Xuyuan wiped the tears from his mother's eyes and asked, "Mom, I only have one day. I will study hard tonight. Can you accompany me to the playground for the last time tomorrow?"
He wants to be a good boy today to please his mother, and he also wants to go to the playground with his parents tomorrow.
It’s the first time and the last time.
Zhou Xue was crying so hard that she couldn't speak and could only nod her head vigorously.
Xuyuan showed a 'relieved' smile on his face: "Thank you, Mom!"
