"Aunt Fang."
"Xiao Yan."
Upon seeing Li Zhiyan approaching, Fang Zhiya's lifeless face finally broke into a slight smile.
The more Fang Zhiya thought about it, the more she felt incredibly lucky.
If it weren't for Li Zhiyan, her life would surely have been utterly bleak by now.
"Aunt Fang, I'm starving to death."
"Hurry and make me some noodles."
"Okay."
Fang Zhiya lifted the lid of the pot to cook the noodles for Li Zhiyan.
"Xiao Yan, what are you holding in your hand?"
"This is a gift for you, open it when we get to the rental room!"
Fang Zhiya truly hadn't expected Li Zhiyan to bring her a gift.
Her birthday, isn't it on September 2nd, Thursday?
How did Li Zhiyan think to give her a gift at this time?
"It's not Aunt's birthday, why give a gift."
As she spoke, Fang Zhiya felt like crying; her own son had never given her a gift.
Her divorced husband never remembered her birthday either.
Every birthday, she would secretly eat the noodles she made in the kitchen alone.
Then, her birthday would pass in silence, and she had never received a gift; this gift from the child must be the first one she had ever received in her life.
"Just because it's not my birthday, doesn't mean I can't give you a gift. You are someone I love, a very important elder in my life, so it's only natural for me to give you a gift," he said.
"You can just accept it with peace of mind."
Li Zhiyan's words gradually restored much of Fang Zhiya's spirit.
After she fished out the noodles, she added a lot of chili sauce for Li Zhiyan.
That word was still too liberal!
If it weren't for the temporary separation from her husband, she definitely wouldn't have kissed Li Zhiyan because, in Fang Zhiya's heart, that would have been highly immoral behavior.
"Aunt, I just think it's cooler over there, and since there aren't any customers now, we could go stand there," he said.
"Just to cool off a bit," he said.
"If you don't go, I'm heading over," he said.
Saying this, Li Zhiyan walked towards the corner as if he truly wanted to enjoy the coolness, which made Fang Zhiya realize that she might have wrongly blamed this child.
Looking at the gift lying under the stall, a feeling of remorse inevitably surged in her heart.
Her adult mind was too tainted, always fixated on that matter.
Seeing no customers at the time, Fang Zhiya also followed.
"Aunt Fang, why did you come over?"
Li Zhiyan, upon seeing Fang Zhiya joining him, seemed surprised at her arrival.
"Of course, Aunt has to follow you."
"Otherwise, you might get upset."
"There's no business anyway, I'll keep you company and cool off together."
Li Zhiyan promptly took Fang Zhiya's hand, and as before, on being taken by the hand by Li Zhiyan, her body weakened.
This made Li Zhiyan reminisce; when he used to lie on Aunt Fang's lap to eat, her beautiful legs seemed much softer.
Lying there was very comfortable.
"Aunt Fang, it's really cool here," he said.
Once they arrived in the corner, Li Zhiyan observing Aunt Fang's figure, felt even more captivated by her graceful poise.
What a pity that Aunt Fang was still dressed in cloth today.
So holding her wouldn't feel the same as it did at home.
"Yes, it's very cool."
"Being here with you gives me a feeling like I'm skipping evening self-study."
"Aunt Fang, can we repeat what we did before tonight?"
