Wen Qiuning glanced at her exercise book and suddenly had an idea.
"Auntie will fold a little frog for you, okay?" She hugged An An and coaxed him softly.
An An shook his head blankly.
Wen Qiuning didn't know whether An An didn't want the little frog or didn't know about the little frog.
She imitated the croaking of a frog again, "Quack... quack little frog, do you want one?"
When Yu Xiangyang heard these two sounds, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
That's not a frog croaking, it's a toad croaking! A frog's croaking is much clearer than this!
An An looked at Wen Qiuning, not quite understanding what he meant. Wen Qiuning tore off a page of exercise book, quickly folded a frog, and drew two eyes on it with a pen.
An An got the frog and laughed happily.
Wen Qiuning taught him to put a frog on the table, and when he slapped the table, the frog would jump up.
Now that An An has toys, he no longer clamors to go out and play in the snow.
Xiao Jie was choosing books while secretly glancing at Yu Xiangyang.
I really don't understand. He came to this bookstore on purpose, wasn't it just to see Wen Qiuning? But he didn't talk to her and stood by the bookshelf reading. What's the meaning of that?
Xiao Jie gave Yu Xiangyang an hour, but Yu Xiangyang did not go to talk to Wen Qiuning.
Xiaojie thought to himself: The time has come, if you don’t do it, don’t blame me.
Xiao Jie walked up to Yu Xiangyang with five books in his hand, "Uncle, I've chosen."
Yu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, then said slowly, "Let's go."
An An and Wen Qiuning were having so much fun that they didn't want to leave. Wen Qiuning's eyes when he looked at An An were no longer as cold as before, and finally showed some humanity.
When checking out, the five books cost eight yuan and seventy cents, and Yu Xiangyang felt distressed.
Nine days’ salary is gone again!
He squatted down silently, and An An lay on his back tacitly. He skillfully carried An An on his back with a strap.
"Goodbye, Auntie." Xiaojie said.
An An was lying on Yu Xiangyang's back, waving her little hand, "Auntie, see you."
Wen Qiuning waved to An An, then said to Xiang Yang and Xiao Jie, "Slow down."
Yu Xiangyang’s inner thoughts: Shouldn’t it be, welcome back next time?
There is some distance from the bookstore to the bus stop. Two men, one big and one small, walked on the snow, leaving a footprint with every step.
Xiaojie said, "Uncle, do you like that aunt?"
Yu Xiangyang had an incredible expression, "Don't talk nonsense, how could I possibly like her!"
"Then why did you come all this way to see her?"
Yu Xiangyang said, "She'd been treated badly by some bad people before, and they hurt her a lot. I came to see if she's okay. Helping and protecting the weak is a soldier's responsibility, just like protecting the girls in your class!"
It has been almost half a month since they last met. Yu Xiangyang heard about Wen Qiuning's situation from Yu Xiangnian and felt quite sympathetic towards her.
Anyway, I have nothing to do today, so I decided to go see how she is doing.
Xiaojie said, "The girls in our class don't need protection. If they get angry, they can twist our heads off."
Yu Xiangyang said, "Let me teach you a trick. To deal with girls, just pull their braids."
"No, they'll tear my head off."
The two got on the bus, and Yu Xiangyang put An An down and held her on his lap.
An An was still holding the little frog in his hand. Yu Xiangyang took the little frog from him curiously and looked at it.
It's folded like a toad, so ugly!
Yu Xiangyang unfolded the paper and wanted to fold it again.
When he saw the beautiful handwriting on it, he was stunned.
The handwriting was very similar to the handwriting on the letters he had received.
A thought flashed through his mind: Wu Xiaomin lied, and the letter was written to him by Wen Qiuning.
It’s a pity that he threw away all those letters, otherwise he would have taken them out and compared them to know the truth.
However, he quickly denied the idea!
How could Wen Qiuning, such a cold person, take the initiative to write to him, and why would she write to him?
He folded a nice frog again and gave it to An An.
Back home.
Cheng Jingmo and Keke were playing on the sofa. Cheng Jingmo asked, "Where have you three been so early in the morning?"
Xiaojie said: "Uncle Xiangyang took me to buy books."
"Where can I buy it if I'm out for so long?"
"It's the bookstore where Aunt Wen works."
Cheng Jingmo knew that bookstore. It was quite some distance away from here. There were two bookstores nearby. Why should he go so far to buy it?
"You went to see her on purpose." Cheng Jingmo said with certainty.
Yu Xiangyang freely admitted, "A girl was all alone in Beijing, and all these things had happened. I went to see her, just in case something happened to her."
Cheng Jingmo expressed understanding and support.
After Yu Xiangnian got up, he saw the little frog in An An's hand and asked curiously, "Who folded it?"
"Aunt Wen broke it first, and then Uncle Xiangyang broke it." Xiaojie replied.
"Wen Qiuning?" Yu Xiangnian was surprised. "She also died?"
Xiaojie told what happened this morning.
After hearing this, Yu Xiangnian frowned.
Yu Xiangyang silently helped Wen Qiuning and then went to visit her. Could it be that he was interested in her?
Yu Xiangnian didn't mind Wen Qiuning's past. Besides, she didn't have any substantial relationship with her.
But Wen Qiuning has always been resistant to men, and Yu Xiangnian is worried that Yu Xiangyang, a straight man who knows nothing, will hurt her again.
Yu Xiangnian entered Yu Xiangyang's room and asked directly, "Yu Xiangyang, do you like Wen Qiuning?"
Yu Xiangyang was sitting at the table doing his homework. He paused, looked up, and said calmly, "Can't you be more noble-minded? I couldn't bear to see her being bullied, so I helped her. Does that mean I like her?"
Yu Xiangnian said, "You went to visit her this morning!"
"So what?" Yu Xiangyang said, "How did your parents raise you? When others are in trouble, we should help them if we can."
Yu Xiangnian looked steadily into Yu Xiangyang's eyes. His gaze was frank and he did not lie.
It seems she was overthinking it!
Yu Xiangnian said, "I support you helping her. But don't get too close to her all of a sudden. She's already hurt inside, and you might end up hurting her if you're not careful."
Yu Xiangyang said disdainfully, "Don't worry, I don't like her and I won't get too close to her. I treat her purely out of my duty as a soldier."
Even today, he didn't go up to talk to her. He was relieved to see that she was fine.
