875 A Million Times for You 237 (1/2)
Jin Yiheng turned around and immediately got down from the chair, running toward An Xiaoning like a gust of wind and wrapping his arms around her tightly. ”Mommy, why have you come?”
”Mommy wanted to bring the two of you out to eat. But since you guys are already eating, there's no need to go out to eat anymore.”
Jin Yiheng dragged her to sit down. ”Mommy, the food at our canteen is delicious. Wait here, I'll go and get a portion for you.”
She then sat down at the seat beside Jin Yiheng while Long Xiaoxi, who was sitting to one side, greeted her while scooping up her rice.
An Xiaoning noticed that she was dropping more food than she was eating, and there was even food that had dropped on her shirt. She took out a tissue and cleaned it carefully for her. ”Xiaoxi, you've been here for so long, do you feel tired?”
”Not at all.”
Once her words landed, Wen Yuechan, who was sitting opposite her, remarked, ”Xiaoxi even cried out of fatigue yesterday. The teacher said to run ten rounds around the track, but she couldn't persevere and cried when she went back to the dormitory.”
Long Xiaoxi's face flushed instantly, and she glared at Wen Yuechan. ”Who cried? I didn't, okay?”
”You still won't admit it?” Wen Yuechan picked up her chopsticks and ate her food in small mouthfuls.
”It's none of your business.”
An Xiaoning patted Xiaoxi's head. Her hair had now grown out quite a lot, and after trimming, she now had a small bob cut. ”The track is so huge, it's already remarkable that Xiaoxi can run ten rounds. Our Xiaoxi is still young, you'll be able to run twenty rounds in due time, for sure.”
It appeared as if An Xiaoning had injected Long Xiaoxi with confidence, and her little face brightened up with a warm smile. ”I'll definitely be able to do what Godmother says. Godmother, are you bringing Yiheng and Rongyan back later?”
”Yes.”
”Then, can you bring me back, too? I also miss my home.”
”Then, Godmother will get someone to send all of you back tomorrow, okay?”
”Alright.”
At this moment, Jin Yiheng carried the tray of food over. There was a variety of dishes with a balanced amount of nutrients. After tasting them, An Xiaoning found it delicious indeed and continued eating it with the children.
Turning from An Xiaoning to Long Xiaoxi, Wen Yuechan looked at them and lowered her head with some displeasure. Ever since she entered the martial arts academy, she had been brought back home only once, and just for half a day. Her mother then sent her back right after.
Since then, nobody came to see her. It was as if she did not exist at all.
Looking at someone else's mother, she thought of her own mother and felt rather upset.

When she reached home, Long Xiaoxi realized that her parents were not around. Out of boredom, she crept into the cabinet under the dressing table in her parents' bedroom, intending to give her parents a scare when they entered in a while.
But, unexpectedly, what awaited her was a heart-fluttering scene that made one blush.
Just as she pushed the cabinet door open, she witnessed her father pushing her mother down on the bed and kissing her all over.
Long Xiaoxi's eyes widened in astonishment and, using her two hands to cover her face, she abruptly crept out of the cabinet, giving the two adults a huge scare.
Seeing that it was Xiaoxi, Mei Yangyang hurriedly kicked Long Tianze down the bed and sat upright to straighten out her clothing. ”Xiaoxi, how is it that you're back?”
Still blushing, Xiaoxi removed her hands from her face. ”Godmother went to pick up Yiheng and Rongyan, so I came back with them.”
Long Tianze rubbed his aching back and stood up by using the sofa as support. ”Honey, you're too cruel. My back is going to break from the fall.”
Mei Yangyang ignored him and asked Xiaoxi, ”Today, Minhe isn't going to school and is staying at home. Do you want to go find him to play?”
”Of course. I came back to find Brother Minhe to play with me.”
”Go on, then.”
”Okay.” Long Xiaoxi skipped out of their bedroom and closed the door shut.
Mei Yangyang hurriedly got down from the bed and lay in Long Tianze's arms, using her hands to help him rub his aching spot. ”Honey, I'm sorry. You must be hurting really bad from the fall, right? Honey will help you rub it, okay?”
”What use will rubbing do? You should quickly use your actions to express your apology.”
Mei Yangyang pushed him down on the bed instantly and sat on him with a sinister smile. ”Heheh, Sir, your little lass is coming for you…”
