Chapter 361: The Person He Wanted to See
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Yaoyao, who did you see?” Boyuan asked gently.
Yaoyao leaned against the car window with both hands and looked out anxiously without answering Boyuan.
Boyuan was a little curious, so she put down the tablet and moved over. She lowered the car window and looked in the direction where Yaoyao was looking, but she did not see any familiar figures, let alone familiar faces.
Seeing that Yaoyao was stubbornly looking in that direction and unwilling to retract his gaze, Boyuan gently placed her hand on Yaoyao. “Yaoyao, tell Auntie who you saw.”
Yaoyao slowly turned his head and looked at Boyuan silently. When they looked at each other, Boyuan saw that moment of disappointment in Yaoyao’s eyes. It was as if the person he wanted to see the most had suddenly appeared in front of him and disappeared.
Boyuan’s heart ached. He reached out and held Yaoyao’s face. “Yaoyao, you can tell Auntie whoever you want to see. Auntie will take you to see the person you want to see. Don’t keep it in your heart, understand?”
Yaoyao was silent, then shook his head.
It was normal for children’s emotions to fluctuate, but it was not normal for emotions to fluctuate on Yaoyao. This was because in a condition like Yaoyao, there were very few fluctuating emotions.
There was a closed window in an autistic child’s heart. No one would knock, let alone open it easily. Unless the person Yaoyao saw just now was someone who could knock on the closed window in his heart and make Yaoyao open the window in his heart.
Boyuan was very smart. She thought of something and said to Yaoyao, “Be good and stay in the car. I’ll get out of the car and take a look. I’ll be back soon.”
Yaoyao didn’t react, but he would listen.
Boyuan got out of the car and looked around, not missing a single direction. Her gaze was anxiously searching for the person who might have been expected by Yaoyao to appear. Either that, or someone who looked like her.
However, she found nothing. In the end, Boyuan returned to the car and saw Yaoyao looking at her blankly. Boyuan said, “I’m sorry, Yaoyao. I didn’t find the person you wanted to see.”
Yaoyao understood what Boyuan meant, but he never said a word.
A few minutes later, Pei Jingzhou carried Youyou out of the kindergarten. Li Xiwu walked beside Pei Jingzhou and held his arm. The scene of the family of three was harmonious and beautiful.
Most of the children in the kindergarten were picked up by their elders. Very few parents came to pick up their children.
Therefore, the scene of Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou coming to pick up their daughter at the same time was quickly noticed by many people. They could not help but glance at the two of them. Fortunately, the two of them were wearing masks to avoid being recognized.
It was fine to be exposed.
However, considering that Youyou was still young, there would definitely be a lot of scenes facing Youyou in the short term after she was exposed. That was not a good thing.
Li Xiwu had also discussed with Pei Jingzhou that after Mother-in-Law Joy finished broadcasting on the Wind Platform and her popularity subsided, everything would go according to plan.
Youyou placed her hands on Pei Jingzhou’s shoulders and pointed not far away. She said excitedly, “I want that ball, that ball.”
Li Xiwu looked in the direction Youyou was pointing. There was an old man selling hydrogen balloons there. He had probably just come out of the stall and hadn’t sold many yet. They floated in the air in a large cluster of various shapes.
Pei Jingzhou said, “Let’s go and take a look.”
Li Xiwu hummed. When they walked to the front of the old man selling hydrogen balloons, the old man saw the family of three and smiled kindly.
“Child, you’re out of school.”
Youyou was very polite.
Li Xiwu smiled faintly and turned to ask Youyou, “Which one do you want?”
Youyou looked up at the hydrogen balloons floating in the air and seriously thought about which one to buy.
When she was watching from afar just now, she only wanted to buy one urgently. Now that she was closer, she realized that she liked every one of them. Youyou was dazzled and could not decide which one to buy.
The old man introduced them warmly. “There are mermaids, SpongeBob SquarePants, Woof Team, and Ultras. Lots of them. Look, there are even prettier sunflowers. Which do you prefer?”
Youyou pointed at the hydrogen balloon in midair. “I want…” She still couldn’t make up her mind.
Li Xiwu was about to say that she would buy them all) but Pei Jingzhou said before her, “I want these hydrogen balloons.” Li Xiwu glanced sideways at Pei Jingzhou.
Pei Jingzhou explained, “Youyou likes it.”
Li Xiwu said, “I wanted to say ‘buy them all’, but you said that ahead of me.” Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu looked at each other and smiled in unison.
Other than Youyou, the happiest person was the old man selling hydrogen balloons.
Today, none of them had been sold. As he was an old acquaintance from kindergarten, fewer and fewer children bought hydrogen balloons. Most of the children had already bought them. Every afternoon, he would come out and walk around. He would only sell three or four before closing the stall.
He didn’t know what kind of luck he had today, but he had sold them all as soon as he set up the stall.
The old man was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth. He calculated the total price. “Fifteen yuan for a hydrogen balloon. I have a total of nineteen hydrogen balloons. It’s two hundred and eighty-five yuan. Buy them all. I’ll give you a discount. I’ll only charge two hundred and eighty yuan.”
“Okay.” Li Xiwu took out her phone and planned to pay with WeChat. The old man found the payment code from the bag compartment. Seeing the old man’s payment code, Li Xiwu hesitated for a moment before putting away her cell phone and looking for cash.
Pei Jingzhou handed her his wallet. “Theres change in it.”
Li Xiwu asked softly, “How did you know I planned to pay in cash?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “Pay first.”
“Okay.” Li Xiwu nodded.
She took out three red notes from Pei Jingzhou’s wallet and handed them to the old man. The moment the old man saw the cash, he was clearly very happy.
Nowadays, only young people are unwilling to use cash. Most of the older people followed the previous tradition and preferred to hold cash at all times.
The old man happily gave Li Xiwu the change. Then, he untied the hydrogen balloons rope in his hand and walked to Youyou’s side. He seriously tied it to Youyou’s arm. “This way, it won’t fall.”
After tying it, he patted it gently. “Done.”
Youyou was very happy. She looked up at the large cluster of hydrogen balloons in the sky, her eyes bubbling. Many children passing by looked enviously at the hydrogen balloons on Youyou. It was too eye-catching.
Youyou reached out and fiddled with the string tied to her arm. The hydrogen balloons in the sky fluctuated with her and began to sway gently. Li Xiwu reached out and tidied Youyou’s hair. “Do you like it?”
Youyou nodded. “I like it so much.”
“I’m glad you like it.” With that, Li Xiwu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked at Pei Jingzhou. “Fourth Brother.”
Pei Jingzhou looked at her.
Li Xiwu asked, “After buying so many balloons, how are we going to bring them back? Put them outside the car?
Wouldn’t that be too conspicuous?
