Tang Xia rode off into the distance.
Xiao Xiang waved until his arm grew tired, then turned around, gripped the tricycle with his little hands, and happily told Tang Xia about something amusing.
Tang Tang gazed after their retreating figures in a daze.
For a moment, another scene surfaced before her eyes.
A little girl sat in the back of the small tricycle too. No one knew what the brother and sister were talking about, but their faces brimmed with happy smiles.
Sometimes, the little girl would get upset, her cheeks puffing out in anger. Her brother seemed to realize he had done something wrong and tried hard to soothe his sister, doing everything he could to cheer her up.
The little girl was easy to coax, too. Within a few words, her tears turned to laughter.
Tang Tang remembered now.
Her brother had always been quite the troublemaker, yet so easy to push around.
She had grown used to spacious luxury cars, with cool air in summer and heating in winter. Rain or snow, she could travel anywhere in comfort. Yet here she was, missing that little tricycle where she barely had room to turn around.
"Tangtang."
Tang Xia's tricycle disappeared around a corner. Seeing Tang Tang still staring blankly after it, Tang Xianqi walked up behind her and called softly.
"Shall we head back too?"
"Mm."
Tang Tang reluctantly withdrew her gaze. Without looking at him or turning back, she climbed into the car.
Tang Xianqi got in last. He had only just closed the door and fastened his seat belt when Tang Tang flung herself at him.
"I'm so tired."
Tang Tang lay against Tang Xianqi's chest, her voice muffled. "Big Brother, I'm sleepy. I want to sleep."
"Then go ahead."
Tang Xianqi motioned for Tang Xiancheng
