Novel Bin Chapter 930 - Still Alive
Chapter 930: Still Alive
It was Little Xingxing who was playing the piano on the stage.
He had slipped out of class without his mother’s knowledge.
Wanwan’s birthday was coming and he wanted to buy her a birthday present with the money he had earned himself.
He had been secretly playing here twice a week for a month and would soon save enough money for Wanwan’s present.
After playing two songs, Little Xingxing went to the manager to get his pay before going to the washroom with his small school bag.
Little Xingxing came out of the cubicle after changing into his school uniform.
When he came out, he saw a tall figure standing in front of the urinal. Little Xingxing found that his side profile was a little familiar and instead of leaving immediately, he took a few steps forward, raising his head to look at the man.
The man felt that someone was looking at him. When he looked sideways, he saw a child in a school uniform staring at him unblinkingly.
The child’s complexion was a little pale, but his facial features were exquisite and handsome, especially those long and beautiful eyes.
It was the child who played the piano on the stage just now.
Little Xingxing gave an innocent smile and went out.
The man zipped his pants and went to the sink to wash his hands when he heard a cry outside suddenly.
The man walked out and saw that the little boy had fallen to the ground.
He went over and picked up the little boy. The little boy wrapped his arms around his neck, his slender black eyes sparkled with a light that could easily melt one’s heart. “Uncle, thank you.” Then, releasing the man, the little boy ran off.
The man only stood up when the little boy had disappeared from his sight.
He returned to the restaurant.
Along the way, many people looked at him with strange gazes and some even laughed when they were some distance from him.
He frowned, his expression slightly dark.
A family of three passed him after having their dinner and a child pointed at his back. “Daddy, Mommy, there’s a big green turtle on Uncle’s back.”
Hearing the child’s words, he reached out his hand and touched his back.
A piece of paper was pasted on his coat and his eyes darkened when he took it out.
Bailey saw that someone had pasted a drawing of a big green turtle on his back and pouted, saying angrily, “Fifth Brother, whose prank is this? Why was it stuck on your back?”
In contrast, the man seemed much calmer compared to Bailey’s anger. A faint smile could be seen on his face that was expressionless. “It’s a little rascal.”
“Where is this rascal? How naughty! Who did this? I’m going to talk to his parents!”
The man looked at the green turtle and found that it was drawn quite realistically. The corners of his lips lifted and he said in a voice only he could hear, “Drawing skills aren’t bad.”
Bailey could not hear what the man had said. “Fifth Brother, you’re smiling.”
She had never seen him smile the past few months, but now, a drawing from a mischievous child had made him smile.
The man kept the drawing and said. “I was even naughtier when I was young.”
Bailey was speechless.
They came out of the restaurant and Bailey wanted to eat cake. She let the man know before going to the shop next door to buy it.
After buying the cake, she returned to the car and said to the man, “Fifth Brother, do you know who I saw just now? It’s the little boy who was playing the piano in the Western restaurant. I did not expect him to be so well-behaved and sensible at such a young age! He told the shop owner that it was his mother’s birthday tomorrow and wanted to order a birthday cake for her, and he earned that money himself!”
The man looked out of the window when he heard Bailey’s words.
He saw the little boy who had given him a big green turtle coming out of the cake shop, skipping across the road with a small school bag on his back.
He has given him a big green turtle, and his mother’s birthday was tomorrow...
He already knew in his heart who the little boy was.
...
In the end, Shangguan Wan did not even remember her own birthday.
It was already evening when she returned home the next day and the house was dark with no lights turned on.
How strange! Why was Little Xingxing so well-behaved today, already going to bed when it just turned dark?
Shangguan Wan went into the living room and was about to turn on the lights when suddenly a voice burst out, “Wanwan, happy birthday!”
Shangguan Wan felt choked up as she looked at Little Xingxing pushing a cake out.
Little Xingxing pulled Shangguan Wan over to the cake. “Wanwan, make a wish and blow out the candles. Give me your phone, I’ll take photos of you.”
“What’s there to take? Mom doesn’t like taking photos.”
“No, you have to take!”
Seeing he was so adamant, Shangguan Wan had no choice but to hand her phone to Little Xingxing.
Little Xingxing tapped on the phone a few times when Shangguan Wan was not paying attention.
After taking several photos, Little Xingxing returned the phone to Shangguan Wan.
Shangguan Wan had no concept about birthdays. She only felt that it was the day of suffering for her mother on this day every year. It was rare for her to celebrate her birthday when she was training in the force.
The past two years, Little Xingxing had become sensible and he had celebrated it for her every year.
The maid had cooked a table full of delicious dishes and after dinner, Little Xingxing returned to his room to do his homework, while Shangguan Wan, who had drank a few glasses of wine, sat on the swing in the courtyard.
Seeming to have thought of something, Shangguan Wan took out her phone, wanting to watch the video Bo Yan had sent her last time.
But when she opened her photo gallery, the video had disappeared.
Shangguan Wan frowned.
It was still there when she saw it this morning!
How could it disappear for no reason?
Shangguan Wan recalled carefully and seemed to have thought of something. She then went upstairs quickly.
Little Xingxing, who was sprawled on the table in a daze, heard footsteps behind him and quickly picked up his pen.
Shangguan Wan pulled a chair beside Little Xingxing and sat down, staring at his child-like and handsome small face. “Xingxing, tell Mom the truth, did you delete something when you took my phone just now?”
Little Xingxing lowered his fan-like thick eyelashes and pursed his lips, not lying and admitting anything directly. “I deleted it!”
Shangguan Wan was slightly surprised.
She never watched that video in front of Little Xingxing usually, how did he even know about it?
Little Xingxing looked up at Shangguan Wan, whose expression was stern. He knew she was angry but he did not regret deleting that video.
Puffing up his cheeks, Little Xingxing said, “I don’t want Wanwan to be sad watching the video. If that person likes Wanwan, he won’t be together with another beautiful sister, and won’t make Wanwan sad!”
Shangguan Wan was stunned.
Her mind was blank for a moment before she recovered. She narrowed her eyes. “Xingxing, who is that person you’re referring to?”
“That person in the video!” Little Xingxing was very angry. He did not like that person who made Wanwan sad and hated him just by looking at him!
Shangguan Wan stood up from the chair.
She paced around the room, thoughts running wild in her mind. Xingxing had never seen Ye Yanfeng before after he had grown up, and even if he had seen the video, he would not have said those words if he had not seen someone who looked like Ye Yanfeng!
That meant...
Shangguan Wan went back to Little Xingxing’s side and held his shoulders. “Xingxing, tell Mom what you mean!”
