Yi Luowa stared blankly at Tong Airui's legs, thinking to herself, without doing anything, just these two legs would be enough fun for a lifeti.
Startled by her own thoughts, Yi Luowa slapped herself hard.
Tong Airui abruptly opened his eyes and looked over.
Yi Luowa forced a sheepish smile, "There was a mosquito..."
Tong Airui frowned slightly, how could there be mosquitoes in the car?
The car suddenly ca to a stop. Tong Airui glanced at the scenery outside the window and stood up, "Follow out of the car."
"Oh." Yi Luowa followed him out of the car, puzzled.
The car was parked by the roadside, not far ahead was a sprawling villa district. Tong Airui took a few steps and then stopped, pointing at the ground beneath him, "The car accident happened here years ago. At the ti, I held you and sat right here."
Yi Luowa's heart twisted with an indescribable mix of emotions, and she pressed her lips together.
"That day, it was bitterly cold." Tong Airui tilted his head to look at her, "I held you, and we kept each other warm. You were so small then, and so obedient—no crying, no fuss—just staring at with those big, innocent eyes. For years afterward, I would get really anxious thinking about it, wondering if we might have frozen to death if my father hadn't returned."
Tong Airui walked forward two more steps, then stopped again, "My father's car was parked here. I held you while sitting inside the car, and you fell asleep in my arms. Later, Yi Weibang ca and took you away."
Yi Luowa sniffled, "I'm actually quite grateful. If it hadn't been for that car accident, they probably would've kept using as a scapegoat to harm others. Who knows, I might not even be alive now."
"Life is unpredictable." A smile flickered in Tong Airui's deep, expressive eyes. Having brought her here and finally expressed things he hadn't been able to share with anyone else all these years, he felt much more at ease.
Yuan Hang glanced at the sun in the sky and hurriedly walked over, "Sir, get back in the car. You're still wearing your lumbar support belt, and in this heat, you'll get a rash if you're not careful."
"Mm." Tong Airui slowly got back into the car.
Yi Luowa stood there for a mont, took another look, and then got in as well. In her heart, she silently thanked this piece of land and that car accident.
The car quickly arrived at the villa compound, and the staff ca out in droves to greet them.
Tong Airui smiled at everyone and led Yi Luowa into the grand hall.
"Wait here for a bit, I'll go upstairs and grab sothing."
As Tong Airui took his first step up the stairs, Yuan Hang hurried after him, "Sir, what do you need? I'll fetch it for you."
"You wouldn't be able to find it." Tong Airui replied as he unhurriedly ascended the stairs.
Seated in her wheelchair, Yi Luowa looked around the large villa. Just the hall alone was nearly a hundred square ters. She loved the understated elegance of the place.
Her gaze fell on a family portrait hanging on the wall. She rolled her wheelchair closer and tilted her head to look up at the photo.
Heh... A classic international family ho—with yellow-skinned, white-skinned, and dark-brown-skinned mbers—and even two with purple eyes. Everyone in the picture had warm, happy smiles on their faces.
Yi Luowa felt a warmth that made her nose sting slightly.
"This was Fourth Master's family portrait taken when he was fifteen." Yuan Hang ca over, smiling as he looked at Tong Airui in the photograph.
"He was already that tall at fifteen?" Yi Luowa asked Yuan Hang skeptically.
"Mm. At fifteen, he was already close to 190 centiters. Now, the Master is 195 centiters tall."
Yi Luowa pouted and pointed at the tall, dark-skinned man in the photo, "Is that guy also part of the family?"
"That's our First Master. He should be arriving today."
Yi Luowa asked skeptically, "Why does the family still have a black child? Who are those two little kids—one black and one white?"
"First Master is Sir Jue's adopted son. As for the two little kids, they're First Master's children. Their mother is white, and their father is mixed-race. They had black and white twins—a rare case said to occur only once in a million twin pairs. It's quite miraculous."
"Fascinating." Yi Luowa giggled happily.
Footsteps echoed from upstairs. Yi Luowa turned her head to look. In an instant, her eyes were filled with countless floating hearts. Tong Airui was like a walking hanger for clothes, so devastatingly handso it was practically criminal!
Ahem, please forgive Yi Luowa—the little girl who grew up abroad—for not having more accurate words to describe this mont's Tong Airui.
Tong Airui held an exquisite redwood box in his hands as he descended and ca over to Yi Luowa. Tilting his head, he said to Yuan Hang, "Leave us for now."
Yuan Hang responded promptly and briskly left the hall.
Yi Luowa looked at the box in Tong Airui's hands. After hesitating for a mont, she asked, "What's inside?"
"Open it and see." Tong Airui placed the box on her lap.
Yi Luowa smiled and opened the box to find it filled with bear-shaped hair clips!
"How did you know I love bear-shaped hair clips?!" Yi Luowa asked in surprise.
"As long as you like them." Tong Airui smiled and sat down. "Actually, I didn't know whether or not you would like them. But I like them. On the day of the car accident, you were wearing a pink bear-shaped hair clip on your head. Ever since then, wherever I went, whenever I saw bear-shaped hair clips, I'd buy them and collect them. There's another box full upstairs."
Tong Airui felt like he'd accomplished sothing important today. He was in an unusually good mood. Tilting his head to look at Yi Luowa, he asked, "Want to put one on for you?"
