gentle fairy tale

In the evening, eating became a big or small problem again.

Wei Yi is still in contact with the part-time auntie. Pei Songxi has always been against strangers. He doesn't like others talking too loudly. He has a slight obsession with cleanliness and doesn't like eating outside. It's really hard to serve him.

There are only two bags of instant glutinous rice balls in the refrigerator, Pei Songxi is a little embarrassed: "Mianmian, can I eat glutinous rice balls?"

Yu Mian looked into the refrigerator, there were fresh meat and vegetables in it: "Okay...you don't know how to cook, Aunt Pei?"

Pei Songxi shook her head in embarrassment, her ears turning slightly red.

Yu Mian blinked, but felt as if she had discovered some sort of secret... It turned out that Aunt Pei couldn't cook, just like she couldn't put on pants by herself.

Hey, that means I'm not stupid either.

She shook the corner of her clothes with a smile, and said in a sweet voice, "I like glutinous rice balls!"

Pei Songxi breathed a sigh of relief.

When her mother passed away when she was young, she never got close to anyone again, she was indifferent and desolate, this kind of careful and vague feeling of guilt has not appeared for a long time... because she has not talked to anyone like this for a long time.

But Mianmian is obviously a child.

The water in the pot boiled quickly and made a gurgling sound. Yu Mian stood on the small bench and urged her: "Ah! The water is boiling! Put it in, put it in!"

Pei Songxi immediately poured the glutinous rice balls in, feeling a little flustered and flustered for the first time, and the long-lost world of fireworks.

When the glutinous rice balls were cooked, two people, one big and one small, stared at the pot, watching the swollen glutinous rice balls slowly float to the surface of the water.

"Okay, okay! It's ready to cook! Oh, Auntie Pei, hurry up!"

Pei Songxi had already held a spoon in her hand, but she almost scooped up the glutinous rice balls to the ground when she urged her. She couldn't help but smile: "You'd better go out and make trouble for me here."

Yu Mian blinked and looked at her with crooked eyes.

Ah... Aunt Pei is smiling, it seems that she is rarely seen smiling, and it seems that she has never seen her smiling so happily, it is so beautiful!

Yu Mian covered her mouth and smiled, jumped off the small bench and ran outside: "Then I'll go sit by the table and wait for you."

But she couldn't stay idle at all, and ran back to the kitchen before sitting for a minute: "Do you want me to serve it?"

Pei Songxi just took out the bowls and chopsticks from the cabinet: "You don't need to take them out, take out the sugar, okay?"

"Ok!"

Yu Mian nodded vigorously, hugged a can of sugar in her arms, and ran out bouncing around, like a lively and cute little fox.

Pei Songxi walked behind her, looking at her back and couldn't help but smile.

She sat down opposite Yu Mian, and took a small porcelain plate: "Do you want candy?"

This bag of glutinous rice balls is pure glutinous rice without sesame filling. Although a little brown sugar is put in the pot, the taste is still bland.

Yu Mian ran over from the opposite side, sat down close to her, and thought about it seriously: "Can I eat it?"

She is changing her teeth for a while and can't eat sweets very much.

"A little bit, want to try?"

"Okay... just a little bit."

Pei Songxi poured a little sugar into the small porcelain dish, and handed her the chopsticks. Yu Mian's posture with the chopsticks was a bit wrong, and she barely picked up a glutinous rice ball, and with a shake of her hand, she rolled it in the sugar. Circle, small face slightly wrinkled when clamped.

"Too much sugar."

"Then don't eat."

"No, the teacher said, don't waste food."

Yu Mian took a bite, eyes curved: "It's so sweet!"

Pei Songxi handed her a piece of paper and smiled too.

The two quickly cleaned up a plate of glutinous rice balls. It was still early, and Yu Mian couldn't stay idle, and took her hand: "Aunt Pei, let's go up and see if it's okay? Is there a balcony upstairs?"

Pei Songxi picked her up: "Yes. Go up and have a look."

In the air is the unique refreshing smell of autumn, and even the wind is cool and gentle.

The genius had just dimmed, like a dark blue clean curtain, and soon, the moon climbed up bit by bit, passing through the clouds and through the treetops, and the soft moonlight fell down.

Yu Mian jumped down from her arms, looked at the flowers and plants on the balcony, the child was very curious, interested in everything, reached out to touch the petals, gently, quickly retracted.

When she turned around and wanted to tell Pei Songxi to go down, she realized that she was looking up at the moon.

The cold halo of the moonlight fell on her body, coating her with a faint sense of coldness.

Yu Mian felt that she was going to float into the clouds at any moment and become a fairy in the sky, so she just flew away.

So she rushed over and hugged her: "Aunt Pei..."

Pei Songxi turned sideways and touched her head. She obediently sat down beside her, raised her little head, and asked in a childish voice, "What are you looking at?"

"Tonight is sixteen, isn't the moon very round?"

"It's very round. Do you like the moon very much?"

"Ah."

"Ah... I remember grandma called you Yueyue, is that also your name?"

Pei Songxi patted her head: "Yes. Nickname."

"Then can I call?"

"Do you want to call me?"

Yu Mian shook her head: "Not yet."

Aunt Pei is Aunt Pei, an elder, an adult, she has to be obedient.

The cold brilliance of the moonlight fell, and two figures, one big and one small, leaned together, and the night gradually deepened.

Pei Songxi hugged Yu Mian: "Go back to sleep, Mian Mian."

Yu Mian had been a little sleepy for a long time, leaned on her shoulder, and let out a dazed 'hmm': "Aunt Pei... am I dreaming?"

"Ok?"

"I'm dreaming every night... you come and pick me up."

Pei Songxi paused, holding the child in her arms, her wholehearted trust and anticipation were so heavy that she couldn't imagine - she went to see her, and picked her up, obviously it was just a thought.

What if she didn't go?

She couldn't understand Yu Mian's instinctive closeness to her, just like she couldn't explain why she took her home, she couldn't even give herself a reason, but she did it again, and she didn't plan to turn back.

The door of the room was pushed open, and she put Yu Mian on the bed: "Mian Mian, take a shower before going to sleep."

Yu Mian woke up a little: "Okay, I learned to take a bath by myself!"

Pei Songxi really didn't know how to take care of the child: "Well... can I take off my clothes, do you want me... to help?"

"no thanks!"

Yu Mian smiled, covering her eyes with her hand: "Mianmian is a big kid, it's so embarrassing to ask Aunt Pei to take off her clothes!"

Pei Songxi stroked her hair, she was obviously still a little girl.

"Then go in by yourself and call me if you need something."

"Ok!"

Pei Songxi took her clothes into the bathroom, adjusted the temperature of the shower just right, looked at her little fair feet: "Are you sure you don't need it?"

"no thanks!"

Yu Mian stood up and pushed her, but almost fell, Pei Songxi grabbed her and saw that her trousers had grown a little longer: "Did Auntie Ding buy it for you?"

"Um……"

"No, wear the clothes I bought for you last time."

Yu Mian smiled sweetly: "Okay."

The little girl was taking a bath in the bathroom, with the sound of water, and soon she sang a song. The voice of the little milk was quite penetrating: "I have a little donkey, and I never ride it..."

When she came out of the shower, Pei Songxi was drinking water with his back turned to her: "Did the little donkey take a shower?"

"Aunt Pei!"

Yu Mian wowed, then rushed over to hug her, and climbed onto her lap, fragrant and soft, Pei Songxi hurriedly reached out to support her: "I haven't taken a shower yet."

"what is this?"

Yu Mian pointed to the small white bottle on the table: "Are you taking medicine?"

Pei Songxi paused for a moment, with a calm expression on his face: "Well, it helps sleep."

After she finished speaking, she put the medicine bottle in the small drawer and locked it, unwilling to say any more.

Yu Mian was stunned, and suddenly said: "I will be very good."

The medicine is very bitter, so she has to be good, so that Aunt Pei will be happier.

Pei Songxi didn't understand why she said that again, and her expression softened a little: "You don't have to be so obedient. Mianmian, just be happier."

Yu Mian looked into her eyes and asked seriously: "Then are you happy?"

Pei Songxi answered honestly: "No."

Yu Mian looked up at her, and suddenly smiled at her brightly: "Then I want to be happy! Have double the happiness, and share half with you!"

Pei Songxi stared into her clear and immature eyes, momentarily dazed.

Like a sinking stone, I suddenly saw a piece of driftwood.

She slowly lowered her eyelashes, the thick and long eyelashes covered her deep thoughts, hugged Yu Mian in her arms, and said softly like a sigh: "Okay."
