Xi Zijun said, "In the future, when Miss Xia goes out to buy groceries, could you take along? I can’t see anything, but I would also like to go out for so fresh air."
Whenever Xi Zijun ntioned the words "can’t see," Xia Yangyang felt a reflexive pang of pain.
It seed as if she was deliberately reminding her.
But there was no way around it; this was the reality.
Xia Yangyang had to repay this favor.
Since she had already promised to take care of her, Xia Yangyang was determined to take good care of her.
Xia Yangyang said, "Okay, but you’ll have to wake up early."
"It’s no trouble. I wake up easily nowadays. Thank you, Miss Xia."
Xingxing still remained silent during als.
For the past few days, Xia Ye hadn’t left Xingxing’s side day or night.
Xia Yangyang often saw Xia Ye actively talking to Xingxing.
It was rare for Xia Yangyang to see Xia Ye being so proactive in everything.
But it seed to have little effect.
Despite staying at Peace Hall for several days, Xingxing still refused to speak, and even the old man was at his wit’s end.
Xia Yangyang had an appointnt with a psychologist tomorrow morning.
There was no other option right now but to see if a professional psychologist could open Xingxing’s heart.
Gu Qichen left soon after lunch.
Since Xia Yangyang had nothing to do in the afternoon, she helped the old man manage the herbs on the back hill.
Xingxing and Xia Ye followed along.
Xingxing often sat on the field ridge, with Xiao Bai snuggled beside her.
They didn’t return until dusk.
While walking, Xingxing accidentally fell.
Right beside her was a thorny bush.
Xingxing’s palm was pricked and bled.
It must have hurt, as tears rolled down Xingxing’s face.
But she still didn’t open her mouth to speak, not even making a sound as she cried.
Xia Yangyang hurried over and took her to the nearby spring to wash her hands.
Xia Yangyang felt a deep ache in her heart.
In fact, it wasn’t very serious.
The bleeding soon stopped.
Xia Yangyang squatted down and looked at Xingxing, asking, "Xingxing, does it still hurt?"
Xingxing kept her head down and said nothing.
Seeing her like this, Xia Yangyang’s heart was tangled like a knotted piece of dough. She suddenly grasped Xingxing’s shoulders and said, "If it hurts, you need to say it. Xingxing, just say sothing, even if it’s just one sentence."
Xingxing seed to look up at Xia Yangyang for a mont.
But she quickly bowed her head again, remaining silent.
Suddenly, Xia Yangyang also began to cry.
She felt she was reaching her breaking point.
Everything in her life seed to be going terribly wrong.
Xingxing’s autistic symptoms, the ssy emotional entanglents with Gu Qichen, and the huge favor owed to Xi Zijun all felt like mountains, crushing Xia Yangyang till she could barely breathe.
Xia Yangyang suddenly hugged Xingxing and cried, "Xingxing, just say sothing, please say just one word?"
She had promised Lu Haotian to take good care of Xingxing.
But shortly after Lu Haotian left, she had let things with Xingxing get to this state.
Xia Yangyang only felt she was utterly failing.
Xingxing stood stiffly in Xia Yangyang’s embrace, her small body trembling and shedding tears as well.
But no sound ca out of her.
Xia Ye stood nearby, rely handing tissues to Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang only lost control for a mont before she adjusted her emotions.
She knew she couldn’t be like this; they were still children. If she collapsed, they would have no sense of security.
Xia Yangyang soon stopped her tears, then took Xingxing and Xia Ye by the hand and returned to the backyard of Peace Hall.
