My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 71 However, None of Them Were Her
Jiang Yuan gazed with her big, round eyes, admiring yet oblivious as she looked at the other person.
"Brother Yan knows so much!"
"But Yuanyuan wants to swim over there."
How can swimming in a pool be the same as swimming in the sea? Who comes to the beach and doesn’t play in the water?
Wouldn’t Aunt Wan’s swimsuit purchase be a waste?
The little girl tugged at his hand gently, her big eyes blinking at him as she cooed in a soft, whiny voice: "Brother Yan, please let me go! Can I just swim for a little while?"
Xu Jiayan had no way to resist her, pursing his lips, and after a long while, he finally compromised: "You can only swim around the edge for a little while."
"Okay!" The little girl immediately smiled happily, her eyes curving up.
To ensure safety, Xu Jiayan even bought her a swimming ring specifically.
A chubby little duck.
The little girl hugged her swimming ring and merrily got into the water.
She wanted to swim with Young Master Xu.
But he dared to mock her little duck as childish, something for three-year-old children to sit on.
Angry, the little girl ran off to the other side.
After soaking in the water for a while, the little girl suddenly pointed at a coconut stall on the beach and said to Xu Jiayan: "Brother Yan, I want to drink that."
Xu Jiayan saw that the stall wasn’t far and thought he could return quickly, so he told Jiang Yuan: "Then you stay right here and don’t move, don’t go to the deeper areas, I’ll go buy it for you, I’ll be right back."
"Got it!" The little girl obediently nodded her head.
Xu Jiayan then went and bought two coconuts, but when he turned back to where he had left her, the girl was nowhere to be found.
In an instant, Xu Jiayan felt as if all the blood in his body turned cold, and the coconuts in his hand dropped to the ground as he immediately started searching for the girl’s figure around him.
The beach and the shallows were crowded with people.
But none of them were her.
She had just been right here.
It was all his fault; he should not have agreed to let her go into the water, let alone leave her alone in it.
He should have accompanied her.
A massive sense of guilt and fear enveloped him, making his hands and feet ice-cold.
Xu Jiayan’s lips were tightly pressed into a line, and he felt as if something was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe, his eyes growing darker, as if splattered with thick ink. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
He searched all the nearby areas, the teen’s eyes reddening with panic, and just as he was about to head toward the deeper water, he heard a familiar, mushy voice from the shore: "Eh, Brother Yan, why are you swimming too?"
In an instant, something seemed to explode in his mind.
He quickly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted loudly at the person on shore, "Where did you go? Didn’t I tell you not to run off?"
Did she know how close he had been to thinking she had drowned and been lost at sea, that he had almost thought he had lost her?
Jiang Yuan pointed to a public restroom by the beach and said: "Yuanyuan suddenly needed to use the restroom, so I went there. Brother Yan, what happened?" Why do you look so angry?
It was the first time Jiang Yuan had seen Brother Yan lose his temper so badly. She couldn’t help but purse her lips, her long lashes drooping, looking at him with a mix of unease and guilt.
"I’m sorry, should Yuanyuan not have gone?"
Xu Jiayan felt choked with emotion, his face cold as he asked: "Why didn’t you wait for me to come back?"
The little girl’s face flushed red all at once and her voice was tiny as a mosquito’s: "It was just too urgent, Yuanyuan was afraid I couldn’t hold it in..." It was all because she drank too much on the plane.
Oh no, how embarrassing.
