Chapter 466 - There was an Uncle (2/2)

”Whoa. Daddy, yours is singing again.” Rainy sprawled on Gao Yi and placed her ear on his stomach to hear the rumbling. Her face broke into a smile.

Gao Yi was caught between laughter and tears.

This child really had some weird thoughts.

Xia Ruoxin brought two bowls of noodles out and placed them on the table. Rainy pulled Gao Yi's hand. She didn't forget about him.

”Daddy, come and eat your noodles.”

Gao Yi was touched by Rainy's attentiveness. He became fonder of her. Rainy was such an obedient child. He still had lingering fears whenever he recalled the time she had spent in the hospital, being tormented by her sickness. It hadn't been easy for her to be this healthy now.

Xia Ruoxin put a bowl of noodles in front of Gao Yi and one for herself. Rainy would share a bowl with her. She took a small bowl out and portioned some noodles into Rainy's with some soup. Then, she let Rainy eat on her own.

Rainy held the spoon and drank the soup from the bowl. She looked up with content written on her face. Her mommy cooked the best noodles. She continued eating again. Although her actions were clumsy, she could manage to put everything into her mouth. Nothing had spilled onto the table. At times, Gao Yi would feed her some of his so she was feeling stuffed.

…

”Mommy, it's snowing.” Rainy reached out and pointed one finger outside. She wanted to plaster her face against the window panel.

Xia Ruoxin came over. True enough, it was snowing heavily outside. Very soon, the world would be covered in snow. The snowfall was heavy but beautiful. For the first time, Xia Ruoxin saw its beauty. She had never liked it when it's snowing, especially starting from four years ago. She feared each time it snowed. She was exceptionally terrified of the cold, the snow, and the snow melting. All because it meant it would be colder.

She was afraid of the cold but even more of her daughter catching a cold.

Their whole house was fitted with a heater. Rainy could run around barefoot. Many things had changed indeed. Her heart, too, had kept up with the changes.

”Mommy, there is an uncle.” Rainy pointed to a direction downstairs. Xia Ruoxin followed her finger, but she didn't see any man. However, she did see a chunk of clothing in the snow.

She closed the window and put a stop to her daughter's curiosity.

”Mommy, can I go out and play in the snow?” Rainy looked up as she asked Xia Ruoxin. Her tiny hands were clasped together behind her back giving her a serious look.

”No.” Xia Ruoxin squatted down and cupped her daughter's face in her hands. ”You can't play in the snow. It's too cold outside. You will fall sick again and need injections,” she said while she poked her daughter's chubby face. Rainy was feeling hurting from all the poking.

She pouted her mouth, but she was matured enough to know why she couldn't go out. Then, she ran to the window again and plastered her face against the glass panel while she looked at the snow outside.

”Mommy, there is an uncle.” She pointed at the outside once more with her finger.

Xia Ruoxin put her paintbrush down. Why was there another uncle? There were so many of them outside. Was her daughter calling every stranger who was walking around her Uncle?

At this juncture, the snowfall became heavier; and it covered everywhere. When one walked around, there would be a creaking sound. A man in a black coat was standing under a big tree. He reached out with his hands and allowed the snowflakes to gather in his palm. They melted into beads of water by his body warmth.
