Chapter 47 (2/2)

“Yep.” Xiaotu sat up, wrapped in her blanket. She looked like a little ball, and she reached out to rub her drowsy eyes.

“Come here.”

Cheng Zhiyan waved her over to sit beside him.

Xiaotu crawled over, like a baby turtle, to Cheng Zhiyan’s side where she stopped.

“How about if I try and coax you to sleep?”

“Yes, please. I want to listen to “Finding Father” please. Xiaotu nodded, lay down next to Cheng Zhiyan, and obediently closed her eyes.

It was rare for Brother Orange Juice to offer to coax her to sleep, so Xiaotu seized the chance to make a request.

“How come you want to listen to that song again?” Cheng Zhiyan was somewhat annoyed. It seemed as if Xiaotu really liked making him sing this song to her. Sometimes, he would have to sing it multiple times before she fell asleep.

“I just like listening to this song.” Xiaotu opened her eyes and seemed wide awake as she looked at Cheng Zhiyan and said, “You’re the one who offered to coax me to sleep.”

“All right, okay…” Cheng Zhiyan reached out his hand, and, patting the blanket covering Xiaotu’s body, he sang in a low voice:

I want to look for my father, no matter where I go, I will still look for my father. I couldn’t find my good father, if you see him please persuade him to come home…”

During that silent night, Cheng Zhiyan’s childish voice, accompanied by the whistling of the wind outside the window, rang out beside Xiaotu. This melodious children’s song was the ending theme song of a cartoon that aired on TV. This was Xiaotu’s favorite song because she thought that the main character who was running through the snowy forest in search of his father was extremely similar to how she felt herself…

Even though she had never even seen snow before…
