365 XIAO MUGIs VISION (1/2)

Xiao Mugi knew to not pull her hair harshly, so he just pulled it to get Senja's attention back at him.

”You really wanted to know why?” Senja peeked from her arms.

Xiao Mugi was often around Qianru, so he would hear Senja's inquiry every time she asked about Xiao Tianyao.

”Yes.” Xiao Mugi nodded.

A mischievous smile curled on the corner of Senja's lips. ”Sure?” She asked for the boy certainty.

”Sure.” He was nodding again.

”Because I am married with your father.” Senja said slowly, made sure that Xiao Mugi heard her every word. She looked at his innocent expression gradually changing.

Xiao Mugi was staring at Senja, waiting for her answer expectantly, yet when Senja told him the reason his chubby face bit by bit turned horrid.

”No…” He said nearly like a whisper.

”Yes.” Senja said firmly, satisfied because she could scare him. She pulled her lips into a winner's smile.

”No.” He shook his head this time.

But, Senja adamant to frightened him. ”Yes.”

”I don't want to have stepmother.” He said weakly.

”Too late, I am here now.” Senja sat straight and shrugged her shoulder nonchalantly.

”I don't want to call you 'mother'” The little boy seemed in the verge of crying. A tear was threatening to spill on the corner of his eyes.

But, Senja enjoyed it to tease him. She never had a little brother and didn't think that she wanted one. Yet, to be able to tease Xiao Mugi was so amusing for her. Probably, that was why god didn't give her a little brother since the beginning.

”But, you have to. Because, I am your mother now.” Senja demanded.

Xiao Mugi shook his head again. ”No, you are too young to be my mother.”

Senja smirked upon hearing this statement. ”Of course I am a young and beautiful, don't you agree with me?”

”No.” He shook his head again. ”I just said you are young, not beautiful.”

”Yes, but you think that I am beautiful right?”

”No.” Xiao Mugi blinked his eyes. ”Aunty Qianru is more beautiful.” He said innocently.

”Why are you comparing me with another woman?” Senja was squinted her eyes and folding her arms, feeling offended.

”You need comparison if you wanted to claim that you are beautiful…” Xiao Mugi retorted.

**Oh, great! He knew how to argue back.** Senja thought in annoyance.

She didn't know where he learned to argue like that. However, Senja had to admit that for a six years old kid, his words were truth and she was very unhappy to admit it.

No matter what, it was woman nature to be offended when she was compared with another woman, especially when the woman that became comparison was much better. At least this happened with Senja.

And Xiao Mugi just said that Qianru more beautiful than her. Called it childish or narrow minded, but Senja felt offended.

”You know, beauty is coming from heart. No matter how beautiful your face, if you have a bad heart, then it will end up no good.” Senja tried to counterattack with the wisest words that she remembered.

”In that case, aunty Qianru is the most beautiful woman.” Xiao Mugi concluded.

In that time, Senja was very tempting to pinch Xiao Mugi's cheeks and shook his body so he would change his opinion.

”Why?” Senja snapped, folding her arms in front of her chest.

”Aunty Qianru has taken care of me while father not around.” He said lightly.

But, his words dissipated Senja discontent feeling. Like blowing a fire on the candle, it evaporated into the thin air.

”When the last time do you meet your father?” Senja asked, her expression soften.

”Three years ago.” He answered.

”Was that the time when you were being kidnapped?”

Xiao Mugi nodded. He jumped from his bench, circled the table and settled down beside Senja. Now, he was sitting next to her.

”You know what?” He asked a rhetorical question, but Senja couldn't help and answered him.

”What?” She leaned her body forward, intrigued by what the boy wanted to say.

With serious face Xiao Mugi spoke. ”People said, the woman that had saved me at that time was going to be my stepmother. But, even though it was three years ago, I still remember clearly that, the woman is not you.” Xiao Mugi crocked his head as he scrutinized Senja's face.

Without hesitation Senja directly knew who Xiao Mugi was referring to. It must be Rindy.

”Of course, I am not her.” Senja said offhandedly.

”But, why did my father marry you instead of her?”

”I don't know, you can ask your father when he arrived. He is on the way here after all.”

There was an obvious grimace on the little boy face, as though he was remembering something that he didn't like. ”… It has been long time since I talked with him.”
