Chapter 54 (2/2)

Yet who would have thought that Xiaotu would burst out crying after touching it and yell, “Gone, gone, my Brother Orange Juice is gone…”

Cheng Zhiyan had had no choice but to let her know that he was still there and let her touch him all she wanted.

Yet deep down he’d always been bothered by a question. Did Xiaotu perhaps have the ability to recognize people merely from their bone structures?

Yet, fortunately, now, there was a stuffed bunny, and the little rascal wouldn’t be bothering him anymore.

However, reality soon proved that he’d been way too naive with his simple way of thinking.

Although she had been happy originally hugging her stuffed bunny, a little while after Xiaotu had fallen asleep, she’d suddenly turned around and her chubby little hands had routinely started touching Cheng Zhiyan’s face again.

Cheng Zhiyan became thoroughly exasperated.

Humidity gradually started to form in the atmosphere, and the temperature slowly climbed higher.

After they’d entered the month of June, Xiaotu had eagerly started to look forward to the arrival of summer every day. Soon, when it was summer, her father was going to be discharged and come home to play with her.

With her arms propped on the sill, Xiaotu sat in front of the window and watched the rain, and she asked Cheng Zhiyan, “Brother Orange Juice, when will it be summer?”

“We only have to wait one more month.” With a book in his hand, Cheng Zhiyan glanced at Xiaotu, by the window. Then he paused for a moment before he continued, “Doesn’t it seem like this rain has already lasted for days now?”
