See You Monday
Li Shiying told Lulu and her classmates off for what they'd done.
She really wanted to cry.
And she had cried in front of Li Shiying and the big brother.
But it had all stemmed from a misunderstanding.
Li Shiying had apologized to her.
Today had felt like a dream to the mushroom-haired little girl.
She'd gotten so many things she'd never dared dream of before...
The big brother had also told her she hadn't done anything wrong.
That was right.
For a while, she'd thought so too.
But later, she'd inevitably started to waver, to feel uncertain... to regret it...
The responses she'd gotten before hadn't been enough to make her firmly believe in herself.
She'd felt lost.
And helpless.
But not anymore.
She wouldn't doubt herself again.
Or turn on herself.
Li Shiying and the big brother had given her a lot of reassurance and confidence.
The first time she'd told anyone the words she'd kept hidden in her heart for so long, she'd received unexpectedly...
Such overwhelmingly positive feedback that she could hardly believe she wasn't dreaming...
After all this time, the mushroom-haired little girl...
finally, once again... truly felt in her heart...
that she was lucky.
She was so lucky to have met Li Shiying and the big brother.
The resentment in the mushroom-haired little girl's heart suddenly faded away.
She couldn't help smiling.
"Hold on tight."
Xiao Xiao stood up.
Then he gave the two children another push on the swings.
"Whee~"
Li Shiying grinned.
The mushroom-haired little girl was infected by her smile, and one appeared on her face too.
"All right."
The swings slowly came to a stop.
Xiao Xiao looked at the two children.
"It's getting late."
"You should head home."
