My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Little Crybaby!-Chapter 73 What are you crying for?
Although nothing had happened, Xu Jiayan was quite frightened and in a bad mood, so much so that he didn’t even come out for dinner.
Jiang Yuan was worried and went upstairs to find him and asked, "Brother Yan, are you still mad at Yuanyuan?" And since he couldn’t even eat, he must be really angry.
The little girl felt both worried and guilty.
If only she had not gone swimming in the water, then Brother Yan wouldn’t have thought she had disappeared and wouldn’t be angry because he was worried about her.
What if Brother Yan didn’t want to deal with her ever again?
As Jiang Yuan pondered this, tears couldn’t help but well up. The more she thought, the more afraid and aggrieved she felt, and the tears flowed more and more, unstoppable.
Fearful of annoying the other person, she didn’t even dare to cry out loud.
Soon, she became a little tearful figure.
Suddenly, the room door in front of her was opened from the inside, and Xu Jiayan was standing behind it, looking at her tear-stained face, he couldn’t help but frown and asked, "Why are you crying?"
"I’m not, not crying."
The little girl immediately lowered her head and sniffled, saying, "Yuanyuan knows she was wrong, Brother Yan, don’t be angry anymore, and don’t skip your dinner. Yuanyuan won’t go swimming in the sea again." After saying that, she turned and ran into the next room.
Xu Jiayan watched her retreating figure, thinking of her biting her lip trying not to cry out loud, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
As if something was lodged inside him.
Xu Jiayan stood at the doorway for a while, but ultimately, feeling uneasy, he followed her into the next room.
He knocked on the door.
There was no response inside, so he pushed the door open and entered.
He then saw a small bulge in the middle of the quilt. Faint sobbing could still be heard.
"I’m not mad at you," Xu Jiayan stared at the quilt for a while, then said softly.
The sobbing from inside the quilt paused momentarily, but soon continued.
When Jiang Yuan was a child, she indeed cried a lot, and once she started, no one could calm her down except Xu Jiayan.
However, as she grew older, especially after starting elementary school, she seldom cried.
Suddenly seeing her tears, Xu Jiayan felt somewhat at a loss.
Xu Jiayan said, "Stop crying, you won’t look pretty if you cry!"
Girls of her age all love to look beautiful. Sure enough, upon hearing Xu Jiayan’s words, the crying from inside the quilt stopped. Stopping so abruptly, she even hiccupped.
Initially still worried, Xu Jiayan was now relieved and couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle.
Probably having heard his chuckle, the little girl finally believed he was truly not angry. She hesitated for a while, then slowly pulled open the quilt, revealing a pair of red eyes.
"Is Brother Yan really not mad at Yuanyuan?" The little girl asked with her tear-stained, red eyes, her small body trembling, eyelashes still wet with tears, looking frail, helpless, and pitiful.
"Yes!" Xu Jiayan’s heart softened unexpectedly, he couldn’t help but start to reflect if his attitude towards her had been too harsh before. Otherwise, the girl wouldn’t have spiraled into such worry and burst into tears.
Jiang Yuan asked, "Then why didn’t Brother Yan eat?"
Xu Jiayan replied, "I just wasn’t hungry, that’s all."
The little girl bit her tender lips and said, "Then it is because you were angry at Yuanyuan." Otherwise, why wouldn’t you want to eat when you were fine?
Xu Jiayan sighed and said, "What can I do to make you believe I’m really not angry? How about you come with me now and we eat something?"
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have come up here, and now he wouldn’t have to spend effort trying to convince this girl that he really wasn’t angry.
