Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 772 - 49: Little Gege Is Gone, I Will Never See Little Gege Again
Tang Yige sat down at the computer desk, turned on the computer, and without giving herself a moment to hesitate, she searched for a ticket booking website and booked a flight back home for the day after tomorrow afternoon.
Perhaps it was because the little guy ate too much spicy food, he had a stomach ache halfway through the night. It lasted from three in the morning until six before he settled down and fell asleep cuddled in Yige’s arms.
After seven in the morning, Zhang Lan came by, saw that Yige and Rong Rui were not yet up, and went back.
At nine o’clock, Yige woke up and found that the little guy, who usually wakes up on the dot, was still asleep. She touched his forehead lightly; he didn’t have a fever, his little cheeks were rosy, and he didn’t seem uncomfortable.
Only then did Yige relax. She gently withdrew her arm from behind the little guy, got out of bed, and headed toward the bathroom.
After a quick shower and washing up, she came out of the bathroom, changed into comfortable loose-fitting home clothes, and left the bedroom to go downstairs.
As soon as Tang Yige came downstairs, she saw Zhang Lan waving at her from outside the window beside the door.
Yige smiled slightly and quickly walked over to open the door.
"Why so late today?" Zhang Lan asked.
"Little Rui had a bit of a stomach ache last night, kept us up for a while." Yige said softly.
"Stomach ache?" Zhang Lan tensed up, furrowed her brow, and was about to head upstairs.
Yige held her back, "Aunt Zhang, don’t worry, Little Rui is fine. I checked him when I came down; no fever and his complexion is normal. He just had a restless night and might need to sleep a bit more before getting up."
Hearing Yige say this, Zhang Lan stopped moving forward, turned and squeezed Yige’s hand, "I have breakfast keeping warm over there, go eat quickly, I steamed some buns."
Tang Yige nodded.
...
Yige was almost done with breakfast when Zhang Lan came in through the door holding a drowsy Rong Rui.
Yige paused, put down the spoon she was using to eat her porridge, stood up, and walked toward them.
"Is Little Rui awake?"
Zhang Lan nodded with a smile, "As soon as he woke up, he started looking for you, so here we are, didn’t even wash his face."
"Little Gege, hold me."
Rong Rui squinted his eyes and stretched out his chubby arms towards Yige.
Tang Yige curled her lips up, reaching out to take over the little chubby guy.
"Kiss." Rong Rui cupped Tang Yige’s cheeks and kissed her on the forehead.
Tang Yige reciprocated, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Then she carried him towards the downstairs bathroom, "Let’s wash your face and hands, brush your teeth, and then have breakfast."
"Can I have breakfast first, then wash my face and brush my teeth?"
"What do you think?"
"I think I can, hehe."
"Hmph. No, you can’t."
"Sigh. Little Gege, I haven’t married you yet, and you’re already starting to boss me around. What will I do in the future?"
"When did I agree to marry you?"
"Alright, alright, I’ll wash my face and brush my teeth first, is that okay? Change your mind at the drop of a hat!"
"..."
Zhang Lan stood in the living room, listening to the back-and-forth between Tang Yige and Rong Rui coming from the bathroom, and couldn’t help but laugh.
...
That day, Tang Yige spent all her time with Rong Rui, playing with toys, playing soccer, and watching cartoons together.
Finally, even Rong Rui himself was surprised, "Little Gege, why are you being so nice to me today?"
Tang Yige looked at the little guy lying on her, "When have I been mean to you?"
"Hmm. But you never spent an entire day with me like this before." Rong Rui thought seriously and looked at Yige.
Tang Yige’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, she curled her lips up, and touched his little head without saying a word.
Rong Rui pursed his pink lips, patiently watching cartoons on the sofa for a while.
Cartoons that used to seem so entertaining now appeared incredibly dull!
Rong Rui furrowed his little brows, picked up the remote, and turned off the TV.
Yige, "..."
Rong Rui turned around, climbed onto Tang Yige’s lap, and straddled it, his white, pink face scrunched up, "Little Gege, are you leaving me?"
"..." Yige couldn’t help but admire the little guy’s sensitivity!
"Uh... well, Little Rui."
"Are you really leaving me?" Rong Rui asked, seeing Yige hemming and hawing, with tightly furrowed brows, looking very surprised and hurt at Yige.
Seeing Rong Rui like this, Yige’s heart twisted slightly, and she nodded.
Rong Rui’s little mouth turned down instantly, and his big eyes started welling up with tears.
Yige panicked, hugging the little guy’s plump body, she gently said, "Little Rui, I promise to visit you here in the future, really."
"...I won’t be able to see you every day," Rong Rui said very aggrieved.
Tang Yige kissed his nose, "Who says you can’t? We can video call."
Video call?
Rong Rui blinked, the tears in his eyes blinked onto his long eyelashes, "Really?"
"Really." Tang Yige reached out, wiped the tears from his eyelashes, and lovingly said, "I’ll teach you how to video call later, okay?"
"Hmm." Rong Rui still seemed sullen, "What if I want to hold you like this?"
Tang Yige smiled gently and looked at him patiently, "We can hug in a video call."
"How do you hug in a video?" Rong Rui felt like she was fooling him.
"Like this."
Tang Yige spread her arms wide, "When the time comes, we’ll open our hands at the same time, and then do this."
Yige hugged herself, "Like this, then I’ve hugged you."
Rong Rui, "..." It’s clearly just hugging herself!
...
Ever since he found out that Yige was leaving, Rong Rui completely turned into Yige’s little shadow.
Wherever Yige went, Rong Rui would follow.
Even when Yige went to the bathroom, Rong Rui waited outside the bathroom door.
Tang Yige couldn’t bear it.
In that moment, the surge of reluctance made her really want to stay!
But she couldn’t.
She had her own life, and Rong Rui had his own life too, they were both on the paths they needed to take.
So why bind too tightly!
Although thinking this way.
Tang Yige holding Rong Rui in her arms, couldn’t sleep a wink all night due to her unwillingness to part.
...
The next day.
Since she had decided to go to Mexico earlier, Yige had already packed, so she didn’t need to do anything special.
Just past seven in the morning, the landlord came over, and Tang Yige handed the house keys back to him.
Yige sat in the house for a while, and when she stepped out with her suitcase, Zhang Lan and Rong Rui were standing on the stone steps in front, watching her.
Tang Yige smiled at them and waved vigorously, "Goodbye, Aunt Zhang. Little Rui, I will miss you."
"Little Gege." Rong Rui hugged Zhang Lan’s leg, his big eyes were red, but he didn’t cry, just kept staring at Tang Yige, whispering her name.
Because he spoke softly, Tang Yige couldn’t hear him.
Yige also stood at the door, stared at Rong Rui for a few minutes, then picked up her luggage and walked towards the taxi parked by the roadside.
Tang Yige placed her suitcase into the car trunk, took one last look at Zhang Lan and Rong Rui standing at the door, then opened the door to the back seat and sat inside.
The moment the car started, she vaguely heard Rong Rui calling her.
Tang Yige’s heart tightened, and she hurriedly turned her head to look.
Just in time to see the little guy break free from Zhang Lan, rush down the steps, and run out into the road.
"Little Gege... Little Gege..."
Tang Yige broke into tears, inhaling deeply as she watched Rong Rui come out from behind the fence, his little legs moving determinedly towards her, tears flowing uncontrollably.
This little guy, how could he make her so heartbroken, so unwilling to leave?
"Little Gege..."
"Driver, please..."
Tang Yige’s voice was hoarse, intending to ask the driver to stop.
But just as she spoke, the driver made a turn, taking a road off to the side.
Rong Rui’s small figure vanished from her sight instantly.
Tang Yige suddenly felt like she had lost something as she hugged her own arms tightly, staring hard at the road behind, tears pouring down in large drops.
Her ears hummed.
In a daze, she could still hear the little guy calling her name. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
...
"Little Gege..."
"Little Rui, Little Rui, don’t chase anymore, don’t chase anymore..."
Zhang Lan sorrowfully hugged Rong Rui from behind.
Rong Rui turned around and hugged Zhang Lan’s neck, bursting into tears.
"Little Gege is gone, she won’t come back, I won’t see Little Gege ever again, wahhh..."
Zhang Lan held Rong Rui tightly, "No, no, Yige loves Little Rui very much, she will definitely come back to see you."
"Wahhh..."
Rong Rui cried relentlessly.
Zhang Lan looked at the little guy’s sad face and couldn’t help but tear up herself.
This was the first time since the little guy gained awareness that she had seen him cry so heartbreakingly.
She roughly understood that in Little Rui’s heart, he probably regarded Yige as his mother...
Zhang Lan raised her hand to quietly wipe her eyes, holding Rong Rui as she retreated back inside.
