Qiao Nian had always known that Xiao Shi was a sensitive child. Seeing that Xiao Shi was hesitating to speak, she silently wiped the tears off her face before letting go.
Xiao Shi sat where she was. Her face was red from crying, and her eyes were swollen.
Qiao Nian took out a tissue and carefully wiped the tears off Xiao Shi’s face. Then, she said softly, "Xiao Shi, if you have anything to say, tell Mommy."
Xiao Shi looked up. There were still tears on her long eyelashes, and her wet eyes were fixed on Qiao Nian.
She pursed her lips, looking unwilling to speak.
"If you have any thoughts, Mommy will try her best to help you." Qiao Nian smiled gently and tucked her hair behind her ear. "You’re Mommy’s good child. A good child has to express her thoughts bravely, understand?"
Xiao Shi was slightly stunned.
This was the first time she had heard someone say that a good child had to express her thoughts bravely. Was it so simple to be a good child?
In the past, in Hai Cheng, Song Man had asked her to work every day. Only when she did a lot of work would Song Man be happy and praise her for being a good child.
Xiao Shi hesitated for a moment and asked seriously, "Mommy, can I visit her?"
As she spoke, she studied Qiao Nian’s face carefully.
Qiao Nian paused for a moment. Xiao Shi was very careful and her heart felt as if it was being pricked by countless needles. It was so painful that it was difficult to breathe.
How could Xiao Shi take so long to consider such a small request?
"She’s going to visit Song Man, right?" Qiao Nian looked at Xiao Shi with heartache.
Xiao Shi was a little surprised. She said obediently, "She used to be my favorite mommy. I’ve thought it through. She won’t be my mommy anymore. I want to say goodbye to her."
Xiao Shi recalled that on the way back from the hospital, she vaguely saw Song Man smiling at her.
"Sure." Qiao Nian smiled and agreed. Seeing Xiao Shi heave a sigh of relief, she asked worriedly, "Aren’t you afraid?"
Xiao Shi shook her head and said, "I’m not afraid anymore."
She wanted to make things clear to Song Man. She wanted to tell her that she would live a good life and hoped that Song Man would be a gentle mommy in the future.
