Chapter 65 (1/2)
Today is not a good day, in fact, the sky is a little gray, it seems that it will rain soon.
But in the villa of Karenin's family, at the white railing, there was a small sky blue bench on which Anna and Karenin's son, sheriosa, were sitting upright.
He has a chubby face and curly brown and golden hair. He looks cute and cute.
His chubby fingers were holding a piece of colored paper, as if trying to fold it into the shape of an animal. His soft, crisp and tender voice was humming happily.
The wings of the paper crane have come out, and soon, even its head has been folded.
His hands are so dexterous, just like his mother.
”You still need eyes, don't you?”
Xie liaosha whispered to the paper crane and gave it a pair of dark eyes.
He gently held the paper crane in his hands. His pink fingernails were short and his fingers were round, but he did it very seriously.
After all, he is only three years old. He also believes that every paper crane has a soul. When people can't see it, they will fly by the wind. Now, he wants to discuss with the little paper crane in his hand and let it see how it flies.
”I won't tell anyone. I can keep a secret.” Xie liaosha muttered.
Of course, the paper crane didn't respond, so what Anna saw when she came out was her son's confused eyes.
Mothers who are more careful can always understand what these babies are thinking. After all, their thoughts are crystal clear and transparent.
”Baby, it's still a little paper crane.” Anna said with a smile as she approached sheriosa and bent down to kiss the child on the forehead.
”So, like me, it's a little shy sometimes, isn't it?”
Xie liaosha said with a red face. I don't know why, when his mother saw his whispers, he felt a little embarrassed.
”Sometimes it is, so we'd better not force it at this time, right? It's like when you're embarrassed, we all give you time, right? ”
Xie liaosha bowed his head and thought, then nodded solemnly.
He held up the little paper crane, then pursed his mouth and gave it a kiss. Because he knew there was magic in kissing, just as his mother did to his father when he was tired from work.
”You'll show me when you're not so shy, right?” Xie liaosha touched the wings of the little paper crane and said softly.
Anna looked at all this tenderly without disturbing him.
Children of this age always have too many fantasies. Most people think that is false and unreal. But Anna thinks that as long as he loves the world and the people around him, it is necessary to give him a little space for fantasy.
As if she had reached an agreement with her new friend, Anna saw sheriosa nodding her head and solemnly placed the paper crane on the railing.
”It said it would fly away in the evening, but it begged me not to look at it secretly, or it would not fly.” Xie liaosha said to Anna.
”Of course, you won't sneak in, will you?” He added with some uneasiness.
”I won't, baby.”
Anna touched the boy's head, and Xie liaosha gave him a smile, as if expressing gratitude.
He has always been a polite child, and smiling is what he often does.
”Is Dad coming back?” He asked, looking up in anticipation.
Most children at this age are afraid of their father. After all, there are too few people like o'bronsky who are amiable. But even his uncle, o'bronsky, is only kind to his daughter, and a little perfunctory and stern to his son.
Before Xie liaosha was born, even Tao Li worried about it.
In their impression, Karenin is a rare decent person, but people can not help but agree that this adult is not gentle enough.
Children don't like such an adult. He is too serious. Even if he gives them candy, they will weigh it for a while before they get close.
But maybe it was because of this that God gave him a little wife who was fearless, and later, their son.
It seems that from birth, this babe with big eyes and small dimples has loved her father.
Not long after he was born, he liked to lie in his father's arms, although he didn't like crying in anyone's arms. He was a good baby.
When he was learning to walk, his mother and nurse took him with him, but he hobbled step by step towards the gate, until his father came in, and his little hand, which could not hold anything, was clinging to each other's knees. The smiling face on the small Bib was not comparable to his curved eyebrows.
Occasionally, in his spare time, when no one saw him, Xie liaosha sat on his father's shoulder and looked at the world at another height with his big blue eyes.He was used to these things, so he didn't know that every father was like this until he grew up a few years later.
But these are later things. Now Xie liaosha is only a three-year-old boy.
After finishing his homework, he was waiting for his father at the door as usual.
Anna is fully aware of a child's expectations of his father, although she has never had one. She likes to see this. A child's dependence on his parents shows that he really believes that his parents can give him safety and protection.
”Yes, he will be back soon.” Anna said.
