"Just earning some pocket money, Xiaohua, you take it and use it. Thanks for the eggs," Ji Yebai said arrogantly.
Ning Xixi wanted to laugh, this guy... he went into business just for Xiaohua.
Xiaohua was too shy to take it, so Ning Xixi thought for a moment and gave all the money Ji Yebai earned to the village chief, thinking it could help others more.
...
The night was as cool as water, and the stars in the mountains were far more brilliant than the city lights. Ning Xixi leaned on the windowsill, gazing at the starry sky.
Ji Yebai vaguely heard her gentle prayers, "Mom and Dad, may you be happy in heaven."
His heart felt a light pang, a spreading tenderness and bitterness.
He embraced Ning Xixi from behind, his voice low, "From now on, I will be your family."
"Will you... always be by my side?"
Ji Yebai held her hand, firm and strong, "I will always be there in the future too!"
