Lu Tingxiao said as he pushed the door open, "I'll go pick it up. Don't move around. There are a lot of people and cars here."
"Okay." Ning Xi's eyes were fixed on Xiao Bao who was not far from the car window, and she nodded absentmindedly.
Lu Tingxiao pushed the door open and got out of the car, walking towards his son.
Xiaobao, who was waiting at the door, saw the person coming and walked towards his father as usual.
Lu Tingxiao gently rubbed his son's head, "Why are you so late today?"
Xiaobao looked down at the box in his hand, "Handicraft class, making a cake, I made a piece for mom."
Lu Tingxiao took a look at the cake, took it, and then quietly held his son's hand and walked towards the car.
The two passed by a small stall with many small gadgets on display, including butterflies, grasshoppers and other small animals woven from bamboo strips.
The stall owner saw a cute little boy staring at the things on his stall and immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Little boy, do you like it? Ask your dad to buy you one!"
Xiaobao turned around and left without any lingering.
No one does it as well as mom.
When he was almost at the car, Xiaobao stopped and said, "I have to go to Grandpa's house today. Please bring the cake to Mom for me."
Lu Tingxiao did not respond when he heard this.
Xiaobao frowned and looked towards his father.
"I..." Xiaobao thought his father didn't hear him and was about to repeat himself.
However, Lu Tingxiao interrupted him directly: "Leave it to her yourself."
After saying that, he reached out and opened the back door.
Xiaobao's expression changed almost instantly, and he very slowly looked towards the back seat with the open car door.
The next second, the little guy seemed to have seen something incredible and froze there for a moment. His expressionless face was filled with shock. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.
Ning Xi no longer cared about her turbulent emotions and hesitations. She got out of the car immediately, leaned over and held the little guy in her arms, "Baby..."
Xiaobao was surrounded by the warm and soft embrace, his eyes were wide open, and a layer of water vapor quickly filled his eyes. The water vapor quickly turned into tears and rolled down his cheeks silently...
The little guy finally called out tremblingly, "Mom..."
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, darling."
"Mother… "
"I am here!"
"Mom..." The little guy suddenly hugged his mother's neck tightly and burst into tears.
All the waiting, all the longing, poured out in this moment.
Holding Xiaobao who was crying breathlessly, Ning Xi felt so sad that her heart was about to break, "I'm sorry... baby, I'm sorry..."
Lu Tingxiao stood aside with a gentle look in his eyes, watching the mother and son hugging and crying, and gently reminded Xiaobao, "Don't you have something to give to mom?"
Xiaobao then stopped crying temporarily, took the box from his father's hand with sobs, and held it in front of his mother.
"Is it for me?" Ning Xi asked.
Xiaobao nodded.
Ning Xi carefully opened the box and saw a cake inside with a picture drawn on it with jam.
Simple lines outline a woman sleeping in bed, and next to her, a small figure is sitting...
Her little treasure...
Never forgot her...
When Ning Xi thought of the little guy sitting by her bed every day waiting for her to wake up, she felt guilty. Why couldn't she wake up earlier
“Thank you… Mom likes it very much… Thank you…”
