gentle fairy tale

In the evening, Pei Songxi took Yu Mian out for a walk.

The golden ginkgo leaves fell to the ground, creaking when stepped on.

Yu Mian held her hand, walked and stopped, occasionally picked up a small golden fan, held it in front of her eyes and looked carefully, she was endlessly curious about everything.

Pei Songxi seldom came out on weekdays, but he didn't feel bored when he was with her. The two of them walked to a nearby small park, and there was a squirrel jumping over the tree trunk. Yu Mian exclaimed: "It's a squirrel!"

"Yeah, it's here every day."

The person who answered was a little girl with a high ponytail and baby cheeks: "I've never seen you before. Are you new here? What's your name?"

Yu Mian raised her head, looked at Pei Songxi, and was asking for her opinion.

Pei Songxi pulled the corners of her lips, shook her hand, and nodded slightly, with silent encouragement in his eyes, letting her meet new friends.

Yu Mian immediately understood what she meant, and smiled: "My name is Yu Mian, what about you?"

"Xiaoyan? Where are you?"

A couple walked along the path in the park: "I told you not to run so fast."

Xu Xiaoyan ignored her parents, and just grabbed Yu Mian's hand: "You heard me, my name is Xu Xiaoyan. Do you want to go with me to see the little pine tree's nest?"

Yu Mian opened her eyes wide: "Ah, really?"

"Of course! Let's go!"

Yu Mian looked back at Pei Songxi, her eyes were full of joy and longing, Pei Songxi nodded to her: "Go and play. I'll wait for you here."

Yu Mian nodded, holding hands with her new friend, bouncing forward, but every few steps, she would turn back to see if she was still in place.

Pei Songxi was startled.

At that moment, I felt a needle prick the softest part of my heart, and a faint astringency spread... On the day Wei Yilai picked up Mianmian, she remembered that she didn't look back.But now... Every time she takes a step, she has to look at her.

She was afraid of being left behind again.

Pei Songxi waved his hand in the air, then sat down on the bench behind him, signaling that she would wait here for her return.

The young couple also sat down. The man's name was Xu Yang, who was also an executive of a company. Pei Songxi had met him once, and the two of them greeted each other in a neutral manner.

Mrs. Xu doesn't seem to have a date, but she is enthusiastic: "Miss Pei, your child is so cute. Is it your...sister?"

Pei Songxi shook her head reservedly: "...No."

"Oh, is that a friend's child? You are so young, and you still have the patience to play with children."

"...No. It's family."

Mrs. Xu was startled, and stopped asking: "That's good, Xiaoyan will have friends in the future. By the way, where does your child go to school? Xiaoyan just came back from the United States, and we haven't chosen a school for her yet. "

Pei Songxi was a little stunned... She felt that the direction of this topic was a bit wrong, she seemed to have entered the state of worrying about the child in advance: "Not yet, there is a small contact nearby, and it hasn't passed yet."

"Hey, we also want to choose a junior! This is better, and they will have a companion when they go to and from school."

Mrs. Xu is a bright and enthusiastic person, with round and soft eyes, and a pure and kind heart. She doesn't care about her indifference at all, and she talks non-stop with a smile on her face.

Pei Songxi hummed in a low voice.

She has never known how to accept the kindness released by others, nor how to get along with such pure and enthusiastic people, so she chose to remain silent.

But soon, Yu Mian came back.

Still crying and ran back.

Pei Songxi frowned, stood up and walked over, caught the child who rushed over, and cupped her face nervously: "Mianmian, what's wrong?"

She seems to have never seen her cry, she didn't cry when no one was taking care of her at Pei's house, she didn't cry when she was like a weed, she didn't cry when she was sent away by Wei Yi, and she didn't cry when she was bullied, what happened now!

Mrs. Xu was also anxious, and hurriedly asked Xu Xiaoyan: "What are you doing? Didn't you fight?"

Xu Xiaoyan blinked her eyes: "No, we were talking, and she suddenly cried."

Yu Mian wiped her tears, and it took a long time before she said, "Aunt Pei...do I have very little hair?"

Pei Songxi: "...Huh?"

Xu Xiaoyan suddenly realized: "Oh... because of this. Sister, let me tell you, it's because I said that she has less hair, and she is sad."

Pei Songxi knelt down and wiped away her tears with her fingertips: "What's the matter if you have less hair?"

Yu Mian was stunned: "Short hair, ugly. Are you going to be sent to the mountains to become a nun?"

Pei Songxi couldn't help laughing: "Mianmian!"

She stroked her hair and hugged her, a little helpless and funny—probably because Yu Mian was too sensible in normal times, and she always made her forget that she was still a six-year-old girl.

"Okay, let's go home, shall we? Say goodbye to your friends."

Yu Mian nodded embarrassingly: "Xiaoyan... I'll go first."

Xu Xiaoyan took out a lollipop from her pocket and stuffed it to her: "Don't be angry with me! I'll give you some candy! I'll come to play with you tomorrow."

Yu Mian puffed her cheeks, and said with a crying voice: "Well, don't be angry. See you tomorrow."

All the way back, she lay on Pei Songxi's shoulder and said nothing.When they got home, Pei Songxi put her down, looked at her bulging face, couldn't help teasing her, and poked her lightly: "What's wrong? Are you still afraid of becoming a nun?"

Yu Mian frowned, and nodded vigorously: "En!"

"You won't be a nun... Besides, you have a lot of hair."

Yu Mian still watched pitifully: "Aunt Pei, is there anything you can do?"

Pei Songxi tried to comfort her, but met her extremely stubborn eyes, and then had no choice but to surrender: "Then...then I will think of a way first."

In fact, this is really difficult for her. There is no way she can do it. It is strange to leave this kind of problem to Wei Yi, so she can only search on the Internet, and then call back to the old house to ask Aunt Zhang, and finally come up with some Feasible solutions: eat more black beans and sesame seeds; children's hair will grow faster if they are cut more; comb hair before washing...

These strange knowledge...increased.

Pei Songxi stroked Yumian's hair: "Starting tomorrow, can I drink sesame paste every day?"

Yu Mian nodded, and also smiled: "It's ok... But in fact, if you have less hair, you won't be taken away. If you can stay here, I won't be so afraid."

Pei Songxi teased her: "If you stay by my side, will you also be a nun for the rest of your life?"

She was just joking, but Yu Mian seriously thought about it: "It's not impossible!"

Stay with Aunt Pei for the rest of your life, then being a nun is also pretty good!
