Last time, she was also so good to him, but when she turned around, she had other children and did not look for him. She did not really like him.
Yaoyao did not want to covet this moment of warmth. However, he couldn’t bear to push Li Xiwu away. Deep in his heart, he still yearned. If only he could hug her more. Even as he thought that, her grip on him loosened.
Sure enough, she wouldn’t hug him all the time.
Li Xiwu also wanted to hug Yaoyao more because Yaoyao did not resist her touch at this moment. However, she was afraid that her tears would fall non-stop and rub against Yaoyao before letting go. She raised her hand and kept wiping her tears. For the first time, she cried like a child. Even the way she wiped her tears was very childlike
Yaoyao watched quietly. He was still sulking, but seeing that she kept wiping away tears, kept wiping them away, he wondered why she was crying.
Isn’t it only children who cry? Why did adults cry too? Could he reach out and wipe her tears? Would she despise it? Probably not? Why doesn’t he try it?
Yaoyao’s hands moved slightly at his sides, trying to lift them and do what he wanted. But the fingertip moved several times and still did not lift. After many internal struggles, he gave up. She would definitely despise it, he thought.
After wiping her tears, Li Xiwu looked up and looked at Yaoyao seriously. Seeing that Yaoyao was frowning, Li Xiwu thought, “Is it because I was too ugly from crying just now?
Yaoyao said, “Mm.”
Li Xiwu smiled bitterly. “Then I won’t cry anymore It doesn’t look good when I cry.”
Yaoyao moved the corners of her lips and said, “But you look good when you smile.”

Yaoyao nodded and answered seriously, “Really.”
When Boyuan and Lu Jia saw this scene, they couldn’t help but sigh. Blood relations were really magical.
Boyuan said, “They clearly didn’t acknowledge each other, and Yaoyao didn’t
know that the person in front of him was the mother he missed day and night.
However, just because he had met her once and spent a few days with her, he developed such a strong dependence on Li Xiwu.”
Lu Jia added, “What surprised me the most was that Yaoyao said a lot just now, and he communicated normally with Miss Li the entire time.”
“You didn’t think Yaoyao would stutter just because he had retardation in speech, did you?” Boyuan asked Lu Jia.
Lu Jia admitted, “I’m not lying to you. Actually, I really think so. After all, for so long, he hasn’t said a few complete words every time I interact with him. I’m just thinking that he rarely speaks. It’s rare for him to only say two or three words. He shouldn’t be able to communicate normally.”
Boyuan reached out angrily and nudged Lu Jia. “I heard from my mother that he can communicate normally if he’s willing to talk. He just doesn’t want to talk.”
Realization dawned on Lu Jia. “I see.”
At this moment, Li Xiwu was already adjusting her mood as soon as possible. A good mood could make the corners of her lips curl up more naturally. “Then I’ll smile more because Yaoyao likes to see me smile.”
Yaoyao suddenly frowned.
Li Xiwu raised her hand and soothed Yaoyao’s frown. “Don’t keep frowning,
Yaoyao. You look good like this.”
Yaoyao asked, “Will you never leave me as long as I keep smiling at you?
These words made Li Xiwu, who had finally adjusted her emotions, instantly cry again. Her bean-sized tears fell like broken beads, startling Yaoyao. As her tears fell, Li Xiwu shook her head at Yaoyao. “No, never again. From now on, I will be by your side forever.”
Every word was hard to say. Every word was very firm.
Yaoyao slowly raised his hand and slowly reached for Li Xiwu’s face. Li Xiwu probably knew what Yaoyao wanted to do and didn’t move until his fingertips touched her face. That small hand gently wiped away her tears. As he did so, he said, “Don’t cry.”
Li Xiwu nodded. “Okay, I won’t cry. I’ll listen to Yaoyao.”
Yaoyao shook his head. “You don’t have to listen to me. Just don’t cry.”
Li Xiwu held back her tears. She looked up and forced back the tears in her eyes. She had to control her emotions.
Youyou also wanted to come over and comfort her mother, but her father was holding her hand, so she couldn’t come over. Hence, Youyou took it for granted that her father had made her mother cry. She turned around and lectured Pei Jingzhou fiercely. “Don’t make her cry.” Pei Jingzhou’s expression was gentle as he replied, “Okay.”
Youyou pouted. “But Mommy is crying. Go coax her.”
Pei Jingzhou nodded and shouted at Yaoyao, “Yaoyao.” Yaoyao looked up at Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou waved his hand. “Come here.”
Yaoyao seemed to be hesitating about whether to go over. He looked at Li Xiwu in front of him and then looked up at Pei Jingzhou. After some hesitation, he did not want to go over.
Li Xiwu wiped her face gently and said to Yaoyao, “Go over.”
After hearing Li Xiwu’s words, Yaoyao walked towards Pei Jingzhou. When Yaoyao stood in front of Pei Jingzhou and looked up at him, although he did not say a word, his expression seemed to ask, “Why did you call me over?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPei Jingzhou bent down slightly and asked, “Are you hungry?
Yaoyao shook his head.
Pei Jingzhou said, “Do you want prawns? I’ll peel them for you.”
Yaoyao was about to shake his head, but when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment before nodding.
“You don’t want to do it yourself, do you?” Pei Jingzhou smiled, then stood up with Yaoyao in his arms. “Sit down properly first. I’ll peel it for you.”
He carried Yaoyao to a chair and sat down. In front of him was a large plate of boiled prawns. Pei Jingzhou rolled up his sleeves and wiped his hands with the towel beside him. Then, he began to peel the prawns.
He peeled for three people, Li Xiwu, Youyou, and Yaoyao.
Li Xiwu’s emotions had already stabilized a lot. She also knew that if she continued to cry, she would collapse. She was also a little hungry. She thought that she would have to spend a lot of energy accompanying Yaoyao later. Even if she didn’t have an appetite, she had to eat something to fill her stomach.
She was about to start eating.
Youyou placed the first prawn she had obtained in Li Xiwu’s bowl. “Mom, eat.”
Li Xiwu picked up the prawn for Youyou, who covered her bowl. “No, no. It’s for Mom.”
Li Xiwu couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, thank you, Youyou.”
Youyou smiled. “You’re welcome.”
In the next moment, there was another prawn in the bowl. Yaoyao just retracted his hand and was silently eating.
Li Xiwu’s heart softened. The emptiness and incompleteness in her heart were completely filled. This perfection made Li Xiwu even more determined to regain her memories.
She had to regain her memory..
