“I don’t have a cure, but I can try curing you. But it might take a rather long ti...”
“How long?” Puzzled, Pudding looked at him.
“Maybe for the rest of my life.”
Pudding felt her heart skip a beat, it was a strange feeling.
It was quite funny hearing such a young child talk about the rest of his life.
However, Pudding got the feeling that Wei Yunchu wasn’t joking.
Wei Yunchu’s parents were no less intelligent than Pudding’s parents.
With Wei Liao and Jiang Xiaowei’s intelligence, they birthed a good son.
Pudding and Wei Yunchu’s emotional intelligences were far more developed than Little Bean and Gao Boyuan.
In this group of children, the most child-like one was Gao Boyuan. He was more pure.
Although Pudding and Wei Yunchu were regarded as little geniuses, their parents weren’t really happy about it.
There was once when the two families had a gathering where Huo Mian said that she didn’t want her daughter to mature too early.
When a child is young, they should do child-like things.
Pudding ca into contact with society too early, trading stocks and managing money.
That gave her a big ntal burden, preventing her from being a naive happy child.
“Ahem...” Pudding felt a little awkward and changed the conversation.
“How’s Auntie Xiaowei?”
“My mom’s doing great... She’s a workaholic on the sa level as Aunt Huo Mian, haha.”
“What about your aunt?”
“She’s been great after remarrying. Grandpa and Dad seem to be more open to Uncle Shen now... Although they still hold it against him, they stopped making passive aggressive comnts.”
“Our conversations are so weird, ha. We’re not like little kids at all.” Realizing the situation, Pudding found it funny.
“Pudding, you’ve seed down for the past two days, and you’ve been quiet on Wechat. Is it because...”
When Wei Yunchu said that, he didn’t dare to continue and seed to be observing Pudding’s face.
“What?” Pudding wasn’t sure what Wei Yunchu ant.
“Aunt Mian’s baby... I overheard my parents talking about it... Is it because you lost your brother? Even though I don’t know why, it’s bad news.”
“It’s impacted our family for sure, but that’s not why... I just...”
Pudding thought about it but didn’t know how to say it.
“Yunchu, if soone looked exactly like your mom, with the sa personality, voice, and mannerisms, would you be able to tell that she’s pretending to be your mom?”
“This... To be honest, I don’t know how to answer. That question ca out of nowhere and caught off guard. I think that I won’t be able to tell at first, but I’ll feel it as ti goes on. After all, I know the little details in her life.”
“Mhm.”
“Why? Why ask that out of nowhere?”
Wei Yunchu thought that Pudding was behaving strangely; all of their conversation topics were morbid.
“Nothing, I’ve been watching too much sci-fi.”
“Co hang out at my house this weekend. My dad’s artist friend is coming over, and I want to learn from him.”
“No, thank you. I have plans with Handso Su, we’re going to Grandpa Su’s house for dinner.”
“Okay, next ti.”
“Okay.”
Seeing that it was almost ti, Wei Yunchu quietly got up and returned to his classroom.
Watching the clouds in a daze, Pudding asked, “Mom, should I keep trusting you? Is that really you?”
