“Huh?” Alva was too engrossed in his thoughts that he hadn’t paid attention to what Bai Qingqing said.
Molly also said excitedly, “That’s right, that’s right. Their age is close and they’d definitely be able to get along.”
Only then did Alva manage to guess what Bai Qingqing said. He quickly carried Anna to Bai Qingqing, placing her down on the grass.
The grass was very clean. Lush grass grew densely packed together, not showing any hint of soil. Small blue flowers occasionally decorated them, and the entire stretch of grass looked like a floral carpet.
Anna was very lively and started crawling toward Bai Qingqing’s side the moment she was placed on the ground. She supported herself on the rock Bai Qingqing was seated on and stood up by herself.
“Ahh! Ahh!” Anna pointed at An’an and cried out.
Bai Qingqing looked at Anna’s soft and short legs in surprise, then at the small hands she was using to support herself on the rock. She found it unbelievable that such a young child knew how to walk.
An’an was over three months older than Anna, and it should be time for her to learn to walk too.
Therefore, Bai Qingqing went along with Anna’s request, placing Anna by her side, hoping that An’an could stand up under Anna’s lead.
An’an lay down on the ground the moment she was placed down. She assumed the same pose she had when she was in her mommy’s arms, sticking out her butt in a sitting pose.
Anna was very happy. She let go of the rock and wobbly walked over to An’an’s head, trying to sit down slowly.
However, she was too small and her clothes were heavy. Anna was midway in trying to sit down when she fell down on her butt. It didn’t hurt and she didn’t cry. She just smiled as she grabbed onto An’an’s hair.
An’an just accepted whatever came to her. Her head shook to the left and right from Anna’s tugging, but she didn’t retaliate.
“Anna, knock it off!” Molly immediately called out to stop her.
Bai Qingqing thought that Anna wouldn’t understand, but she didn’t expect her to pause for a moment. She looked at her mommy, clearly understanding that she wasn’t really angry, then continued to willfully grab onto An’an’s hair.
Bai Qingqing let out a sigh in her heart. With the parison, she couldn’t help but feel worried about the problem with An’an’s growth.
Thankfully, An’an finally couldn’t stand the disturbance anymore and turned her body to lay on her stomach, twisting her little butt as she crawled further away.
Anna let out a sharp cry in excitement. Children who had just learned how to walk wouldn’t be able to sit still. She stood up, then gave chase after An’an with unsteady footsteps.
As children’s heads accounted for a larger proportion of their bodies, Anna’s body was clearly tilted when she walked. To avoid falling, she had no choice but to run quickly to the front, letting her legs catch up to her head to stabilize the center of gravity.
Not long later, Anna chased up to An’an. She then slowed down, her body swayed unsteadily. In the end, her head still pressed down her body and she fell onto An’an’s body with a great impact.
An’an was immediately flattened to the ground, her body assuming a widely spread out pose. She moved her limbs as if she was swimming, looking like a tortoise with a shell on its back.
Anna was afraid that An’an would run off, so she tried hard to press down on her so that An’an couldn’t crawl away.
The adults started laughing loudly, and Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but smile too. However, her heart still ached for her child, and she walked over quickly, saving An’an from the hands of the female fiend. She received Anna’s plaining gaze.
Thankfully, Bai Qingqing didn’t bring An’an away, so Anna suppressed her tears.
Bai Qingqing wanted to teach An’an to walk, so she squatted down and held onto An’an by her armpits, letting her stand upright.
However, An’an refused to exert any strength. Her two legs, which were usually very strong when kicking others, were now soft like noodles. Bai Qingqing only had to lift her slightly for her legs to dangle in the air.
Anna went to grab An’an’s hand again, shaking it to the left and right to express her delight.
