But usually I couldn't answer him.
He probably knew that I was unhappy, and he wouldn't press me if I didn't say anything.
One day, I went out with the stars to draw my life — for three years, when I was free, I would go out to draw my life, and the words I drew became the only source of income for me and the stars.
Of course, I can't support my children with this money. It's only enough to cover the expenses of our daily meals.
But even that was enough.
Since the children were too young, I didn't dare to go too far, so most of the time I just had to find an open space near my home to paint.
When I was writing my life, the child was very obedient and played on the nearby grass.
That day, I chose the park near my home. I set up the easel and told the stars that I could only play nearby. Then I started my own creation time.
The park was very quiet. Other than the sound of the wind, no other sound could be heard.
I immersed myself in my own world for an unknown period of time. When the sun gradually rose and the earth was scorched, I realized that it was time for me to go back.
After packing up my painting tools, I called out to the child's name, but no one answered me.
I thought that this child, Xing Xing, was too timid and didn't dare to run too far. I just needed to search around this area.
However, no matter how he searched, he couldn't find the child. He didn't even know where the child had run off to. Now I'm starting to worry!
The child is only three years old, I was too careless!
Many possibilities flashed through his mind, and the very thought of me made him shudder!
Stars are my life!
How am I going to live without him!
As if I had gone mad, I dropped the toolkit in my hands and searched the whole park!
But I couldn't find it, and when I finally went back to where I had left off, I found the stars sitting obediently under a big tree with an unknown wildflower in their hands.
I rushed over and took the baby in my arms.
”Where did you go, Star?! You scared Mom to death! Do you know! ”
I held the baby, tears streaming down my face from the shock.
”Mother, don't cry …” ”Mother, don't cry …”
When Star saw me crying, he was scared himself and tried to comfort me.
”Next time, don't you know that you can't run around randomly?”
He gently caressed my face with his small hand. I picked up the painting tools and carried the child home.
I put the child on the sofa, and he was clearly frightened by my sudden mood.
I sat on the sofa to calm my emotions. The child didn't dare to move, so he just sat there and comforted me.
Suddenly, I saw a necklace around the boy's neck.
I've never seen that necklace before, and it looks very precious. It's not mine!
”Tell mom, where did you go today?”
The stars are too small to run out on their own for no reason, and I couldn't find any in the park! In the end, he found him in the same place! No matter how he thought about it, he was still suspicious!
”Grandma took me out to play.”
My heart tightened.
”Grandma? ”What mother-in-law?” I looked at him in surprise.
”She's a very good mother-in-law!” When the stars spoke of the mother-in-law, their eyes were shining.
”Good Star, tell Mommy who gave you this? Is she the good, good mother-in-law? ”
The child doesn't lie, I whispered, pointing to the necklace around his neck.
The Star nodded vigorously, then fiddled with the chain around his neck with his little hand.
I had an ominous premonition.
Somehow, I suddenly thought back to that time when Lin Mu used his location to find my necklace.
What was the meaning of this necklace? Does this mean that our family's star has been targeted by someone with ulterior motives?
Or could that old granny be either Jiang Yu's or Lin Mu's person?
