317 Weird Temper (2/2)

”Have you forgotten? I told you. I'm here now. You don't have to worry about anything. Don't you trust me?”

Gao Yi looked so serious that Xia Ruoxin had to lower her head when she met his eyes. She dared not meet his gentle and kind black eyes anymore.

It wasn't that she didn't believe him. She dared not. She simply dared not trust him.

”Alright. I won't force you. You won't believe some things even when I tell you. You will believe it once you've seen with your own eyes. Such a stubborn woman.” His fingertips squeezed her shoulder, but when he turned around, he was laughing out loud.

Xia Ruoxin followed his laughter to where it was directed at, and she—too—started laughing.

Rainy was holding a spoon, and she had soup all over her face as though she had used the soup as a facial wash. Her little hand continued with the feeding. When she noticed Gao Yi and Xia Ruoxin staring at her, she broke into a smile. She could eat on her own already. However, she could not understand why she was drinking so little soup in her mouth.

Gao Yi reached out and rubbed Rainy's head. She said she was a grown-up, but obviously, she was still a child who couldn't even feed herself.

Xia Ruoxin sat down and took over the bowl from Rainy. She wiped her daughter's face clean of all the soup. It was such a waste. Her daughter should know that they could rarely afford egg soup in the past.

”Mommy, have some.” Rainy pushed the bowl towards Xia Ruoxin again, being generous. She thought her mother wanted to have some, too.

”I have already had some. This is all for you. You need to eat more so you can get well faster. Then, your hair will grow, and very soon, you will be able to wear those pretty butterfly bows.”

Rainy remembered her mother's words. She knew that she must be obedient and have her meals and milk. In the future, she must also obey her mother.

Xia Ruoxin picked up the spoon and began feeding Rainy. Soon, the little girl had the whole bowl of egg soup in her tummy. Xia Ruoxin touched Rainy's little tummy with worry. First, she drank milk, and then she finished a whole bowl of egg soup. Was she feeling bloated?

She sighed softly. Rainy's tummy was so bloated it resembled a small watermelon.

”Come, Rainy. Let's go out for a walk or else, your little tummy might explode.”

Gao Yi carried Rainy who was sitting on the bed. However, Xia Ruoxin was concerned. ”Is it really alright for her?”

”Don't worry. It's fine for her to be out for a short stroll.” Gao Yi comforted her. Xia Ruoxin was finally relieved by what he had said. He was always right and could be trusted.

She fetched Rainy's jacket and shoes and put them on her daughter. Rainy smiled constantly as she swung her legs.

”Ruoxin, does Rainy dislike wearing shoes?” At last, Gao Yi noticed Rainy's strange behavior.

”It's not that.” Xia Ruoxin grabbed Rainy's foot and held on tightly. She put on the tiny shoes and shoes on her daughter. When she was done with the second foot, Xia Ruoxin was covered in her own sweat. It was such a difficult chore to put shoes on this child.

”Rainy dislikes people touching her feet. She always says it's itchy. I wonder where she got this weird temper.” Xia Ruoxin seemed so helpless when she explained to him. She thought of any other children who might have this weird temper. It was so laughable, and yet there was no other way around it.

”Indeed, this is weird.” Gao Yi was laughing, too. No wonder Rainy had run away even before that sales girl had the chance to touch her feet. The child really had a weird temper.
