My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 45 Turned into a Lemon Spirit [Thanks to Little Cutie Mo Yi for the reward]
"Alright!"
Jiang Yuan’s cute little face couldn’t help but fall. Although she really wanted to stay with Brother Yan, she didn’t want to disappoint Aunt Wan. Since it was a task assigned by Aunt Wan, she must complete it well.
"Brother Yan, I’m going to do my homework first!" She lifted her little head, looked at Xu Jiayan with soft, adorable eyes, like a little kitten seeking comfort.
"Okay, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me." Xu Jiayan’s fingers resting by his side twitched slightly, and eventually he couldn’t resist lightly stroking her head, his gaze unconsciously softened.
Standing beside him, Xu Jinyan has already soured into a lemon, as Brother Yan wasn’t this gentle to him just now. Hmphing, he urged Jiang Yuan, "Jiang Xiaoyuan, are you done yet? So slow, are you a tortoise?"
Xu Jinyan had just finished speaking when he saw his brother look up at him, that indifferent glance sent a chill over his scalp.
He always felt that the gaze from his brother was icy cool.
Xu Jinyan couldn’t help but shiver and immediately behaved.
"I’ll go up and wait for you." After saying that, he picked up his backpack and dashed up the stairs as if his feet were greased.
Jiang Yuan saw his cowardly demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh. However, she restrained herself from laughing too loudly as to not annoy him, merely pursing her lips and trying hard to keep a straight face. Her big eyes were dark and bright, and when she laughed, the corners of her eyes curved, sweet as if she had eaten cream cake.
Xu Jiayan watched her soft smile and his gaze unconsciously filled with adoration.
Even though at first he indeed found the girl noisy and clingy. But after spending so much time together, he had already gotten used to it.
Especially right after Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang had passed away, Jiang Yuan became exceptionally clingy to him, practically inseparable.
As long as he was at home, wherever he went, she would follow, whenever she saw him, she would run over and sit by his side without fuss or noise, and wouldn’t leave no matter who tried to coax her away...
Xu Jiayan pulled back his thoughts and told her, "Go on up!"
"Okay!" The little girl obediently nodded her head and bounced up the stairs.
"Hmph!"
As soon as Xu Jinyan saw her coming up, he couldn’t help but snort.
Jiang Yuan ran over and sat down beside him, "Didn’t you say we made up? Why are you still angry?"
"Who said I’m angry!" Xu Jinyan refused to admit he was angry.
"Then you are just jealous, right?" Jiang Yuan asked with a smile.
"What would Young Master Xu have to be jealous about?" Young Master Xu snorted indifferently.
"You’re jealous because Aunt Wan and Brother Yan treat me better than they treat you!" The little girl crisply responded.
"Who’s jealous of you? They’re my mom and my brother. No matter how much they like you, you won’t become theirs. If you can, go find your own parents." Xu Jinyan, having been hit where it hurt, suddenly became like an agitated cat, saying angrily.
Jiang Yuan’s smile instantly froze on her face, her complexion gradually turning pale.
Xu Jinyan also realized that he had said something inappropriate, immediately feeling guilty.
He was no longer the five-year-old boy, aware that her parents were no longer around, gone forever!
He didn’t mean it, it was just that he was too angry...
"I, I don’t care, if you like, I can just give them to you," Young Master Xu awkwardly yet haughtily said.
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment but soon smiled again, "Really? If you give them to me, they’re mine, and I won’t give them back to you!"
"Okay!" Young Master Xu sneaked a peek at her, seeing that she wasn’t too upset, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
