Chapter 50 Time to Grow
"Enxi is not an angel. Enxi can't find her father."
The little girl hugged Lin Cheng's neck and cried very sadly. Lin Cheng's heart was also clenched with the little girl's crying.
Although Enxi was naive, Lin Cheng had never seen her sad. She always huddled beside her mother's legs and secretly looked at him with big eyes. She always called him uncle in a slow three beats under her mother's prompting.
This crying little girl made Lin Cheng so distressed at the moment that he could only say words of comfort that he himself didn't understand:
"It's okay, it's really okay."
The little kids who came around seemed a little at a loss.
"Enxi, don't cry, Xiaoying is also very sad."
Xiaoying wanted to cry when she saw her friend was sad. She quickly wiped her eyes and turned to glare at the little boy:
"It's all your fault."
Seeing the crying little girl, Zhenghao didn't say anything this time. He stretched out his chubby little hand and pulled the corner of Enxi's clothes, "Don't cry, okay? At most, I'll share my turtle biscuits with you."
The little girl was immersed in her own world, hugging Lin Cheng's neck tightly, burying her head in the back of his neck, crying and mumbling in Lin Cheng's ear:
"Mom lied to Enxi, Enxi is not an angel, they all lied to Enxi."
Lin Cheng looked at the two for help. He really didn't know how to comfort this sad little girl. He could only sit on the snow and gently pat the little girl's back.
Xiao Tong also seemed a little at a loss. If it was a naughty child, she could threaten with force, but she was completely helpless facing this pitiful little girl.
Han Shuyan faced the little girl kneeling behind Lin Cheng, and reached out to gently pat Enxi's little head buried in Lin Cheng's neck:
"Mom didn't lie to Enxi, Enxi is a little angel."
After crying for a while, the little girl finally responded, raised her head and looked at Han Shuyan with tears in her eyes, and said vaguely: "But Enxi can't fly, angels can fly."
Han Shuyan said softly: "That's because Enxi hasn't grown up yet. You see, the baby born by the mother bird has to grow up before it can fly. When Enxi grows up, she can also fly like an angel."
The little girl thought blankly for a while, and asked hesitantly: "Really?"
Han Shuyan reached out and gently wiped the little girl's crying face, then put her arms around Lin Cheng's neck and gently hugged Enxi's little body.
"Of course it's true, Mom didn't lie to Enxi, Enxi is a little angel."
She didn't choose to break the little girl's fantasy, but gave her time to grow up.
The little girl looked up, staring blankly at the beautiful face and the warm eyes in front of her.
Lin Cheng hugged the little girl between the two of them, and at the same time, Han Shuyan hugged his neck from behind, and suddenly a very strange feeling surged.
Xiao Tong pulled the little boy Zheng Hao over, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Hey! Don't mention this matter again in the future, and don't say you don't want to play with Enxi."
"But, there really is no angel."
Zheng Hao lowered his head. Although he also felt that it was not good to make Enxi cry, children are sometimes very persistent.
Xiao Tong threatened: "If you say there is no angel again, I won't let the little fat boy play with you, and you will lose your best friend."
"Hongwen will not listen to you, he is my best friend."
Xiao Tong snorted, "If he plays with you, I will beat him. He is the most timid, and he will definitely not dare to play with you again."
Zheng Hao covered his mouth in horror, looking at Xiao Tong as if he was looking at a devil.
"Hey, are you scared?"
Zhenghao opened his mouth, looked at the fat boy who was still standing on the other side, and finally said dejectedly: "Then I won't say there are no angels, you are not allowed to hit Hongwen."
Compared with violent threats, the persistence of children can sometimes be easily abandoned.
Xiao Tong nodded with satisfaction and praised her own wit.
When Enxi gradually calmed down, Han Shuyan took the two little girls to roll snowballs and make snowmen again, and Xiao Tong continued to play snowballs with a few naughty boys. Without Lin Cheng's participation, it was another opportunity for her to bully others.
Lin Cheng cleared a flat ground on the snow and began to paint on the ground. He had studied comics for a period of time, so it was not difficult to paint on the snow.
Soon, a little angel waving wings appeared on the large snow. He had big eyes on his round face, and his body was smaller than his head. A pair of small wings stretched out from his back, plus short hands and legs, the whole image looked cute to the extreme.
"Wow! Uncle, you draw so well."
The little kids stopped playing snowballs and gathered around to look at the cartoons on the ground, discussing excitedly.
Eun-hee held Xiaoying's hand and looked at them in a trance.
Han Shu-yeon squatted down, "Eun-hee, stand over there, can I take a picture of you?"
"Yes."
The little girl nodded when she came to her senses, and stood over there carefully, moving one step at a time for fear of stepping on the little angel in the painting.
"Sister, Xiaoying wants to take a picture too."
Xiaoying hugged Han Shu-yeon's legs and looked up at her pitifully.
Han Shu-yeon touched her little head, "Of course, Xiaoying and Eun-hee stand together to take a picture, okay?"
"Okay."
Xiaoying answered happily and ran towards the little girl.
Eun-hee looked at her friends nervously, and was relieved when she saw that Xiaoying did not step on the little angel on the snow.
Standing next to the little angel, Xiaoying took Enxi's hand and said with a smile: "Enxi, Enxi, Xiaoying will become an angel with you in the future, okay?"
Enxi was stunned for a moment, then showed a big smile.
Han Shuyan pressed the shutter, leaving two brilliant and bright smiles in the picture.
After having fun for a long time, the furry children in the community finally went back to their homes. Seeing that the two little girls were reluctant to separate, Han Shuyan asked Xiaoying's mother for consent and prepared to take the two little girls out together.
"Let's go, let's go eat first."
Seeing Enxi holding Han Shuyan honestly, Lin Cheng came up: "Enxi, hold uncle's hand too, okay?"
The little girl stared blankly at Lin Cheng's outstretched hand, and didn't say anything. For a moment, she seemed to be fixed.
Lin Cheng had long been accustomed to her silly look. Just when he was about to pull his hand back, he suddenly saw the little girl slowly stretch out another little hand and handed it to his palm.
Lin Cheng smiled. This was the first time the little girl took the initiative to hold his hand.
"Xiaoying wants to hold hands too."
Xiaoying, who was being held by Xiao Tong, quickly took Lin Cheng's other hand and said, "Uncle, Xiaoying wants to eat a hamburger, okay?"
Lin Cheng said cheerfully, "Sure, whatever you want to eat, just tell me."
Xiao Tong smiled, "Uncle, I want to eat steak."
Lin Cheng: "..."
