Chapter 3: Note (2/2)

He looked at Chen Suling who was engaged in answering calls. She seemed to be busy at work but she stayed with him at home these days.

He was a little curious about how this kid usually lived like this but he can’t speak or ask, so he just has to wait patiently for that answer.

After eating and sleeping well every day, he tries his best to practice taking a few steps at a time. Since, he can't go anywhere now. He can only walk back and forth from the bedroom and living room. If he is lucky, he would get to the door just to see Xia Ye next door go home from school.

He would sometimes observe by the door or by the window and his eyes would brighten every time he saw him.

Chen Suling would look at everything he did and got to know that her child likes to look outside the window. She would always hug him in the morning or in the evening while he was looking outside. One day she asked him with a smile ”Does the baby also want to go to school?”

Tang Jinyu saw those elementary school students, in school uniforms, running and jumping outside and looked at Xia Ye who was passing by with a schoolbag on one shoulder. His eyes did not look away from the window and he nodded with a small but firm gesture. Being able to go to the same school as Xia Shen is something that he dreamt about!

He felt like he was dreaming even now, having parents who love him and Xia Ye, who he admires the most is also here. Although, it would've been nice if his grandfather was also here.

Chen Suling rubbed his head, laughed and gave him a piece of chocolate. She then put him on the carpet cushion to play and went back to work beside him.

Tang Jinyu seemed to be thinking about chocolate frequently now.

The things that he can recall instantly are slowly disappearing and his body and thoughts are slowly synchronizing with his five-year-old self.

He feels that he is becoming more like a real child and his memory is becoming more blurry.

He has been trying hard to think back on his past for the last two days, he doesn't want to forget his previous self nor does he want to forget his previous relatives and friends.

While Chen Suling was cooking, he stood up while holding on to the wall and went to his small bedroom and secretly wrote a note.

Although his fingers aren't very flexible now, he wrote a few trembling words down. The words looked a little distorted even though it was only a few simple strokes, he helplessly jotted down only the important things that he could remember.

He did not write too much and only wrote down ’Xia Ye’, ‘Grandpa’, ‘Medicine’, ‘Go to Pingcheng’……

These are the simplest words that can help him remind himself.

After he finished writing, Tang Jinyu placed the note in one of his tin boxes. This is where he usually keeps his small things.

Chen Suling and Tang Hongjun bought him too many things and would not notice such an insignificant box. He kept the small box in the deepest part of his drawer and hid it.

After doing all this, he couldn't help but sigh as he sat down on the carpet, with sweat on his forehead.

Even though it seems easy enough for anybody else to do, his current body is still too weak to be able to do simple things, opening a drawer had made him so tired!

Tang Jinyu sat there for a while and couldn't help but worry. What if he forgets this box in the future?

He kept his hand on the white sweater and patted his stomach. He frowned and thought for a long time. He then decided to put his worries away, for now.

Even if he doesn't remember the note, he will never forget that Xia Ye and Grandpa are the most important people in his life and to repay them back.
