Shao Wenyan: [What's wrong?]
When he tried to send a message to Yu Yunzhi, he found that the message kept showing "The other party is typing".
Shao Wenyan was eager to see what Yu Yunzhi would say, but after waiting for several minutes, he still hadn't received a WeChat message from Yu Yunzhi.
Instead, the "typing is in progress" message displayed above has also disappeared.
Upon seeing the WeChat message from Shao Wenyan, Yu Yunzhi quickly replied:
Yu Yunzhi: [I'm home!]
She also included a picture of Jiang Jiang lying in her arms.
Shao Wenyan looked at the little girl in the picture who looked remarkably like Yu Yunzhi. Although he had seen her in a video before and thought she looked like Yu Yunzhi, those videos were blurry and not as clear as this one. It was practically a close-up shot, and even the fine hairs on Jiang Jiang's face were clearly visible.
The little girl's long eyelashes, paired with her big, sparkling eyes just like Yu Yunzhi's, made Shao Wenyan's heart melt.
Shao Wenyan, who was originally indifferent to children, developed a liking for this little girl he had never met before; perhaps it was a case of loving the house because of the person who loved it.
Shao Wenyan: [Is that Jiang Jiang? So cute.]
Yu Yunzhi: [Mmm JPG.]
Yu Yunzhi: [Right, right! I also think Jiang Jiang is so cute!]
Shao Wenyan: [Why aren't you asleep yet?]
In Shao Wenyan's mind, don't children all go to bed early and get up early? It's already eleven or twelve o'clock, why aren't they asleep yet?
Yu Yunzhi: [Aunt Wu came over for a chat, it's a bit late. I just finished showering and am getting ready to put her to bed.]
Shao Wenyan: [Aunt Wu?]
Yu Yunzhi: [She was my mom's colleague and also our neighbor. She has a son, whom I called "brother." She was very kind to me when we were little.]
Upon hearing Yu Yunzhi's words, Shao Wenyan felt a sudden sense of crisis.
"Neighbor?" "Brother?" "He's very good to me?"
Childhood sweethearts, huh? She's never even called me "brother"...
Shao Wenyan narrowed his eyes dangerously and typed calmly:
Shao Wenyan: [Is it not good now?]
Yu Yunzhi: [No, it's just that we haven't seen each other much since we grew up. But Aunt Wu just said that the older brother will be coming back for New Year's Day.]
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Yu's mother's voice interrupted Yu Yunzhi's typing.
I accidentally pressed the send button and sent the message before I finished typing it.
"Auntie is texting with a boy and she also sent him a picture of Jiang Jiang!"
Jiang Jiang broke free from Yu Yunzhi's embrace and ruthlessly exposed her aunt.
Jiang Jiang knows what WeChat is because she often uses her mother's phone to send WeChat messages to Yu Yunzhi and Jiang Yan.
However, she couldn't read. Yu Yunzhi's contact name for Shao Wenyan was "Brother Wenyan," but Jiang Jiang only knew the character "brother."
She saw it all; her aunt had just taken a picture of herself and sent it to this brother.
Yu Yunzhi was surprised that Jiang Jiang could actually read. He hadn't seen her for half a year and had no idea that this little girl could read!
Yu Yunzhi looked embarrassed. He had been caught red-handed! Not only had his mother found out he hadn't slept, but Jiang Jiang had also exposed him.
"No, it's just that someone asked me if I got home yet, so I replied. Otherwise, it would be impolite," Yu Yunzhi explained, trying to justify himself.
"Oh~" Mother Yu nodded, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.
From the moment she heard Jiang Jiang's words, she guessed that this person might be Shao Wenyan, because Yu Yunzhi wouldn't send Jiang Jiang's photos to just anyone unless they were someone she trusted very much.
Then, her daughter's unnatural expression later convinced Yu's mother that this person was Shao Wenyan.
Yu Yunzhi had been keeping a straight expression, but then blushed instantly because of her mother's "oh".
"Alright, go to sleep now!" After saying that, Yu's mother left the room.
"You actually betrayed me, Little Jiang Jiang!" Yu Yunzhi pinched Little Jiang Jiang's soft little face and tickled her armpits, making her laugh out loud.
"Hahahahaha... Jiang Jiang didn't~" Jiang Jiang said while dodging her aunt's tickling.
After the two had finished arguing, they finally fell asleep peacefully, and Yu Yunzhi forgot about having to reply to Shao Wenyan's WeChat message.
The next morning, Yu Yunzhi was not woken up by an alarm clock, nor did he sleep until he naturally woke up as usual. Instead, he was woken up by his mother's gentle voice.
"Zhizhi, wake up, time is almost up."
Yu Yunzhi was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open. He stretched in the warm bed but couldn't get up.
Yu's mother sat on the edge of the bed, gently brushing the stray hairs from Yu Yunzhi's forehead. Looking at her little daughter, who was still reluctant to get out of bed like when she was a child, she said, "Then Dad and Mom will take Jiang Jiang away. You can sleep at home by yourself."
Yu Yunzhi felt her mother's hand stroking her hair on her forehead, and happily rolled over, unable to hide her smile, "No, I want to go too!"
"Then get up quickly, Jiang Jiang has already washed up."
When Jiang Jiang woke up in the morning, she didn't disturb Yu Yunzhi, who was still sleeping. Hearing the noise coming from the living room, she quietly got out of bed and went to find Yu's mother in the living room.
Mr. Yu was feeding Jiang Jiang in the living room when Mrs. Yu came in to wake Yu Yunzhi up, as it was almost time.
"No, you have to help me up."
Yu Yunzhi stretched out his arms, clearly awake but unwilling to get up, needing his mother to pull him up.
Helpless, Yu's mother stood up and pulled the little girl who was lying in bed and acting spoiled.
She pulled her up without even trying. Yu's mother had seen right through her youngest daughter; she was a little spoiled brat, always had been since she was little, and both her father and she herself were completely under her thumb.
By the time Yu Yunzhi finished washing up, Jiang Jiang had already finished eating.
"Auntie, come and eat! Grandpa's cooking is delicious!"
"Really? I'll try it."
Yu's father prepared a very lavish breakfast, making eight different dishes for him in one small meal.
There are fried dough sticks, soy milk, and spicy soup, which are Yu Yunzhi's favorite foods.
"Dad, why are you making so many things!"
Yu Yunzhi looked at the breakfast spread out on the table and was so surprised that she paused while tying her hair.
"Your dad made this especially for you guys when you came back. Eat up, you won't be able to have such a lavish breakfast for a couple of days," Yu's mother joked.
Mr. Yu chuckled and didn't argue.
After finishing their meal, Yu Yunzhi, along with Jiang Jiang, his mother, and his father, walked to school.
It's a school district property, not far from the school at all; it's less than a five-minute walk away.
There weren't many pedestrians on the street, because the students were already in their classrooms starting their lessons at this time.
Yu's mother was teaching the third class in the morning, which started at 10:05. Everyone who was going to work had already gone to work.
Yu Yunzhi went out wearing only a mask, without even a hat. Everyone here was busy with their own things, and no one would pay special attention to her.
