Fang Ya walked out of Wang Xu’s room and saw Han Qiao coming back from outside.
When Han Qiao saw Fang Ya, she seemed to be shocked and subconsciously hid her hand behind her back.
Fang Ya looked at Han Qiao’s movements and frowned slightly. “You got off work so late today?”
Han Qiao nodded a little stiffly. “Yes! Had to help out with inventory!”
Fang Ya did not ask any more questions. She nodded and left.
Han Qiao watched Fang Ya’s back as she left. She took a deep breath, turned around, and quickly entered her room.
Fang Ya walked to the door of her room. She glanced at the light on in Han Qiao’s room, sighed, and pushed the door open to enter.
Tang Tang was drawing something on a picture book.
Ever since Shao Xiang had returned to her hometown, Tang Tang had returned to Fang Ya’s room to sleep with her.
Every night, Tang Tang would draw something before she was willing to go to bed.
Fang Ya was glad that Tang Tang had some hobbies that she could cultivate, but most of the time, she could not see what Tang Tang was drawing.
Tang Tang drew on the picture book for a long time before she brought her work to Fang Ya.
“Mom, look, it’s my new drawing!” Tang Tang happily placed her picture book in front of Fang Ya.
Fang Ya looked at the picture book. Although the bright colors were a little messy, they were still within rather simple and orderly lines.
“What did you draw today?” Fang Ya asked curiously.
“It’s mom and aunt!” Tang Tang said happily.
“Mommy and auntie?” Fang Ya looked at the drawing book in surprise. It did not look human.
Tang Tang nodded and pointed at a picture with a softer line. “This is mommy, a beautiful cat.”
Fang Ya peered closely and could just start to make out the lines of a cat.
Fang Ya pointed at the other shape curiously and asked, “Then what is auntie?”
Tang Tang frowned as she looked at the painting. She thought for a moment and said, “At first, I thought that aunt was like a little squirrel. She was very timid.”
“At first? Then what about now?” Fang Ya looked at Tang Tang curiously.
“I think aunt is like a little fox,” Tang Tang said seriously.
“Little fox?” Fang Ya was even more puzzled. “Why do you think so?”
“Teacher Lin Ze said that a fox’s eyes would always be fixed on others. She is afraid that the other party would harm her,” Tang Tang replied after giving it some serious thought.
Fang Ya was a little surprised and relieved when she heard Tang Tang’s words.
Although Tang Tang was still young, she was showing great promise. She was also able to use her own eyes to understand this world.
Although this world was much more complicated than she had imagined…
Fang Ya put Tang Tang’s painting away and gently pulled her into her arms. “You are so amazing. It’s such beautiful drawings!”
Tang Tang happily hugged Fang Ya and kissed her. “Mom, can I ask teacher Lin Ze to teach me in the future too?”
“Do you like teacher Lin Ze very much?” Fang Ya looked at Tang Tang in surprise.
Tang Tang nodded heavily. “I like him very much!”
Fang Ya smiled and said, “Good! When Tang Tang grows up, I’ll let teacher Lin Ze teach you too!”
Tang Tang smiled happily and leaned into Fang Ya’s arms. Soon, she was a little sleepy.
Fang Ya placed Tang Tang on the bed and covered her with the quilt.
She picked up Tang Tang’s painting and looked at it again and again.
She felt that the Han Qiao she saw in Tang Tang’s painting portrayed grievance and fear.
She could not describe this feeling, but it came from the depths of her heart.
Fang Ya thought about it and decided to observe Han Qiao for the next few days.
Over the next few days, due to the sudden change in weather, the renovation of the shop slowed drastically.
Fang Ya was in no hurry. She was just thinking about what else she could do to fill up this period of relatively free time.
Tang Tang was about to go to primary school. Fang Ya contacted the school where He Peng was currently enrolling.
The school was a few kilometers away from home. It was not too far away. He Peng could bring Tang Tang to and from school every day.
In another one or two years, when He Peng goes to Junior High School, Tang Tang would be able to go to school by herself.
Fang Ya thought about the children growing up, and the smile on her face deepened.
She had never thought that she would be able to live such a life.
In her previous life, she spent every waking hour working her life away and had missed most of the time she spent with Tang Tang.
In this life, time seemed to have slowed down, and she was able to live each day more carefully.
Fang Ya was grateful to God for giving her such a chance to do it all over again, and to be able to experience a different life again.
Just as Fang Ya mulled over this, she suddenly received a call from Shao Xiang.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Fang Ya picked up the phone and heard Shao Xiang’s slightly tense breathing.
“Fang Ya, my second brother is… He’s in trouble. Can you…” Shao Xiang said and was about to cry.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be there right away! What’s the matter? Tell me!” Fang Ya comforted Shao Xiang and said as she hurriedly walked out.
When she reached the courtyard door, Fang Ya said to Mingxia, “I’m going out for a while. Ask Wang Xu to give me a call later.”
Mingxia was stunned for a moment, then she nodded and watched Fang Ya hurry out..
