Chapter 1150 – Mrs. Feng, I Will Have The Same Bowl As Her.
Li Xue said in the tone of encouragement and then the call went into silence for some seconds, before she asked, "So, when are you going? Should I pack the things for you?"
"Stay with WeiWei. Gao Fan has already arranged the things and we would leave soon." Feng Shufen replied and Li Xue hummed hearing him.
"Oh okay. Then go and come back soon." She said and was ready to disconnect the call, when paused again, feeling the change in his breath. "Is there something else?" She asked and waited to hear him.
And as she has expected just after she asked, she heard him say, "Li Xue, this time stay here and be safe." He said and it took some time for Li Xue to understand what he was referring to actually.
She chuckled out at the concerned voice with which he has talked. "Mr. Beelzebub, don't worry. I am your wife and will do my duty. The duty of staying at home and looking after the household while the husband goes out to make money." She said and hearing her assurance, Feng Shufen hummed.
They were ready to end the call when from down, Li Xue felt a tug on her arms. She paused to look at her daughter.
"Mama, is Daddy Angel not coming home today?" Blinking her eyes innocently at her mother, Little Li Wei asked. All this while although she knew hearing the elder's talk wasn't a good manner, she still heard some fragments of it while sitting beside her mother.
Li Xue stared down at her and nodded. "Your Daddy Angel has some urgent work to attend so he has to leave today. He is worried for you but since you are now better, I asked him to look over the work first." She said, explaining so that the innocent brain of her daughter doesn't take the thing wrong.
Little Li Wei blinked her eyes at her mother and then looked at the handphone in her mother's hand, "Mama, Daddy Angel is still on the call. Can I talk to him?" She asked and gazing at her phone for a second, Li Xue nodded.
"Mhm. Here, have it." She said as handing the phone to her daughter, Li Xue helped her to proper the blanket over her. Once done, her eyes stared at the boy who was sitting on the side couch all quietly. In his hands, he held a book which he was reading with all focus. Although he was in the room, he looked like he was staying in his own world inside his own comfort zone.
"Daddy Angel, WeiWei is alright now. Don't worry about her. Mama is here and with her around, I will get better. Also, I already had my medicines. It was very bitter but I had it all. So, soon all the bitterness will cure my sickness. Right, Mama?" Putting the phone on her ears, she said to Feng Shufen before turning to ask her mother to reconfirm her words.
Li Xue was looking at Avron but she was snapped out from her stare when heard her princess calling from the other side. Nodding, she smiled. "Of course, you will get better soon." She said and, on her confirmation, WeiWei chimed more confidently.
"Did you hear that, Daddy Angel? Mama said it. Now, don't worry. Go and do your work well. WeiWei will stay back and wait for you." She said and then hearing her Daddy Angel hum on the other side, she disconnected the call, before giving the phone back to her mother.
Li Xue took the phone and kept it aside, before once more checking the temperature of her forehead. Bending her to kiss her, she said, "Rest here while I go and prepare something for you, okay?"
The little girl nodded, before gazing at Avron. Li Xue as well followed and asked, "Avron, I am going to cook something for WeiWei. Do you want to have something? I can cook it for you." She asked. If it had been some other kid, Li Xue would have guessed it but for some reason, she felt that her guess wouldn't work with this one. So, instead of going according to her thoughts, she thought to ask him.
Avron looked at his watch first, before getting down from the couch. "There won't be any time for that. It's already evening, I would have to leave for my hostel in another fifteen minutes. The school office staff must be waiting for me outside." He said, already keeping his book back inside his bag.
Li Xue stared at his efficiency for a moment before checking her watch as well. "It's already evening. It won't be good to let you go at this time. Don't worry you can stay here. I will talk with your principal." She said and with her words like that, she wasn't wrong. They lived in the forest. Although their forest was beautiful, it was still a forest, and sending a guest off during the night doesn't seem right.
Avron shook his head. "That won't be needed, Mrs. Feng. Earlier, while coming here I have given my words of returning to Principal Ma'am. And from my parents, I have learned to keep my words." He said and then walked to Li Wei once again to check her temperature.
The little girl looked at him and blinked her eyes, while he touched the back of his hand on her forehead to check.
"Mhm. The fever has already subsided. Rest well and get better. Then we would practice the performance again." He said and Li Wei nodded.
Once he was done, he was ready to turn and leave. But just when he was about to, WeiWei called from behind. "Senior Brother, can you not go?" She asked and the boy turned to look at her, to which she further added to say, "Mama said it's not good to travel late and our school is already at such a far distance. You can go tomorrow. That way I will show you my book of unique stories that Daddy Angel has prepared for me and will also introduce you to my special friends."
She said, blinking her eyes at him. Avron looked at her and his fingers rolled inside on his sides. His expressions looked complicated and Li Xue could easily see him struggling. After a while, she saw him turn to her to say, "Mrs. Feng, I will have the same bowl as her."
He said and Li Xue smiled, understanding the several meaning the boy delivered. "The taste would be bland." She said but with a very serious face, the little boy reasoned his choice.
"It's okay. I am here for her so I will not mind.. Sorry for the trouble."
