Chapter 1325 Evidence of the accident from six years ago.
The little boy looked at her and his expression hardened. Although he was just a kid, still the cold, poker face he held at the moment was difficult to decipher. It felt like he was keeping his emotions under strict control.
"The cultural fest was the last day of my study tenure here. I stayed here because I promised to attend your birthday before." He said before taking out a brocade box from his pocket and extending it out to present it to her.
But WeiWei just shook her head, refusing to take it. Keeping her hands behind her back, she spoke with teary eyes. "But you didn't say it on the day of the Cultural fest. You said we will talk later then why did you only say it now?"
"It was the day of our performance. You had worked hard for weeks. I didn't want your mood to get affected by it. But now that I have to leave in a few hours, I came to bid you goodbye." He said, his voice getting softer towards the end.
WeiWei pursed her lips to hold back, then stifling her sobs, she asked, "Then are you really going back? Will you never return here to meet me?"
Avron has never been a talkative kid, but ever since he met this little one, he formed a habit of explaining to her. Maybe it was her little height and big doe-shaped eyes which blinked at him, forcing him to speak until she understood it all and well.
"I came here since I got an opportunity to come here as an exchange student. I can't tell you if I will be able to return or not but, in the future, I will definitely come back to find you. Until then keep this with you. You did well with the performance so, I brought you this piece as both your birthday present and also a gift of appreciation."
He said and then didn't wait before opening the brocade box himself and pulling a snowflake necklace out from it. Then stepping forward, he put it around her neck. "My father helped me buy it." He said as he slowly pulled away to stare at the small snowflake neckpiece dangling on her fair neck. It has the silver shine of platinum while there were small blue diamonds studded, making it shine beautifully.
The snowflake flower held a deep meaning. It defined uniqueness of its own kind. It is said that - 'a snowflake never falls in the wrong place', which means nothing happens fortuitously. Nature has got meaning to everything … to every existence.
"I found it suited to your personality. Hope you like it." Avron said as Li Wei looked down to stare at the small necklace on her neck.
Although she could not see its intricate design properly, she still nodded to say, "It's beautiful. WeiWei liked it. Mama says behind every gift, it's thoughts that matter. Since you find it suitable to WeiWei's personality, it must be as good as WeiWei."
She said and the little kid hummed. He was about to say something more but right at that moment, a car came to stop at a distance. Avron turned to look at it and the smile that had just appeared on his face vanished away. Turning to look back at WeiWei, he said, "Take care of yourself from now on. And don't be upset. We will definitely meet in the future." He said and WeiWei nodded to him with some firmness in her expression.
Although she had forgotten it before, now she has remembered the words of her mother. Avron was going back to his family, his own place. If she had been out, away from her Mama and Daddy Angel, she would have also been happy on coming back to them. Same as him. And since he was happy, how could she be sad in his happiness? To share his happiness, she was also happy.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I am not upset but happy for you. Since you have been here for so many days you must also be missing your family. Go back to them. When WeiWei grows up, she will wait to meet you." She said and the boy stared at her. Then giving a small smile, he turned to leave. Reaching the car, he was about to enter when he turned to give a last glance to the girl behind.
WeiWei smiled softly before she waved her hands saying goodbye to him. He had expected her to cry but once again the little one surprised him by being brave enough to say goodbye so easily. It was not easy and being one in the situation as well, he could feel it.
Seeing the maid come back after keeping the tray, Avron didn't stand for long. Sensing the rush of time he had, he got inside the car as the driver soon drove away.
Once he left, Little WeiWei's expression changed. The tears she held all this while rolled down as turning to the maid she said, "I am going to meet White Ears now. Since I have not seen him since morning, he must be missing me. If you want, you can come with me." She said and then turned to walk away.
Behind the maid sensed something and quickly followed her before asking, "Young little miss, you suddenly seem upset. Is everything fine? Can I help you with anything?"
Little Li Wei paused in her steps and shook her head. "I am fine. Please don't worry about WeiWei. Even if I am upset at the moment, I will get better after I meet White Ears." She said as she innocently blinked her eyes in assurance before resuming her walk in the direction of the forest where the garden area was made for the animals.
The maid didn't ask any more. Keeping her silence, she simply followed after the little girl. She was ordered to be around her and since it was already getting dark, she better not miss her in the darkness.
"Little young miss, please be cautious when you walk. Let me walk along with you." She said as she hurried her way to her. And for the maid's comfort, even WeiWei slowed her speed, so that the woman didn't have to run after her.
The maid smiled when she noticed her small gesture toward her. Smiling, she instantly said her words of gratitude, "Thank you, little young miss."
WeiWei looked up at her in confusion and then shook her head in nothingness to say, "WeiWei did nothing. Mama taught me to always follow the elder's words. Since you are older than me in age, I followed your words. Furthermore, you were concerned for me, and WeiWei can't be inconsiderate to your concern. You have been working all day long, helping Mama with the arrangements for the party. You must also have been tired; I could only slow a bit to help you with the pace. It was nothing."
She explained and even though her words made sense, the maid couldn't forget the position she was in. Although she was older than the girl, she was still a maid. Since she was treated with respect today, she could only appreciate the values with which Madam had brought her daughter up. Otherwise, the same doesn't go everywhere. Kids are spoiled rotten by their parents, enough to make them forget the proper attitude.
The maid smiled, feeling lucky to get appointed to serve the small family. To be honest, she never felt tired here, instead, it felt good to work for the people from whom one could get respect in return. Soon, helping the little girl through the pebbled path, the maid brought her to the garden area. But her steps suddenly paused when she felt something around. She turned to scan the surroundings but there was nothing to be suspicious about.
While back inside the house, when Feng Shufen got the message from Qi Shuai, his whole planned sequence was ruined. Although he didn't know what was going on inside, he knew well that now he wouldn't get time to explain anything to Li Xue as he had thought. And the realization like that was putting him in terror.
He was about to lose his composure when he felt Li Xue's hands reaching to hold his. He turned to look at her only to find her, giving him a smile of assurance. "Mr. Beelzebub, you can relax. I won't get easily swayed by anything that comes next. I have promised to stay on your side always and I will live that promise. Don't worry." She said,
She didn't know what was making the man lose himself like this. But sensing his insecurity over her, she could tell she was involved in it as well. Although she couldn't help him with things, she could always assure him with her presence. So, she did what she could do.
And before they knew it, they entered the living hall where the party was organized. But the darkness of the room made them pause in the steps. Before Li Xue could understand what was going around, she heard the piercing horns of the car. She turned to look at the source and found a television screen flashing with a video of a few cars racing down the narrow road.
Frowning, she asked, "Mr. Beelzebub, this … what is exactly going on?" Although she was confused, at the moment, Feng Shufen's expression had turned all dark.
That video playing on the screen was nothing but the evidence of the accident that he had experienced six years ago.
