Rainy Day Memories, Mutual Understanding

Qiaoqiao was leaving.

Although he had only spent a day with Shi Yun and the others, it was hard for him to part.

Shi Yun touched Qiaoqiao’s head, “When you have time, you can come back to see your teacher, or the teacher will go to play with you.”

Qiaoqiao hugged Shi Yun tightly, “Gege, don’t forget me.”

Shi Yun, “I won’t.”

Qiaoqiao held out his little finger to Shi Yun, “It’s a deal!”

Shi Yun paused for a few seconds, carefully outlining Qiaoqiao’s appearance.

In fact, in this short, fleeting time together, he didn’t have much time to observe Qiaoqiao carefully.

Qiaoqiao must have lost a lot of weight from being homeless these past few days, his small face wasn’t very round, but his eyes were big, clear as water, making him hard to forget at a glance.

Shi Yun recalled the first time he met Qiaoqiao.

A gloomy sky, humid air, and a dark cave.

He tentatively stood on the edge of the cave and looked inside, meeting those two small light bulb-like eyes at a glance.

“There really is a child…”

He was first surprised, then scared.

He couldn’t imagine what it would be like for a child to stay here alone in this kind of weather.

As Shi Yun pondered, those two small light bulbs flickered, instantly filled with water vapor.

Shi Yun came back to his senses, realized the child’s fear, immediately adjusted his emotions, squatted down and said softly, “Little friend, don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.”

As he spoke, he took a step closer to him, “It’s so late, are you lost?”

The child was very wary, trembling and moving inward.

“I haven’t seen you before, can’t you find your Ada and Ama?”

The child seemed to have caught a certain word and suddenly burst into tears.

In extreme fear, he didn’t even dare to cry out loud.

Shi Yun felt very sorry for his appearance.

In their poor mountainous areas, it was very common to abandon children because they couldn’t afford to raise them, so he didn’t think much about it and concluded the child’s background.

He was angry on the one hand and helpless on the other.

Shi Yun gently coaxed him.

After the child stopped crying, he took out two candies from his pocket.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person.”

The child stared at Shi Yun for a few seconds, took the candy, and treasured it as if he were putting it in his pocket with a broken corner.

Just then, there was a rumble of thunder outside.

The child was caught off guard and was so frightened that he instantly burrowed into Shi Yun’s arms.

Shi Yun subconsciously covered the child’s ears, thinking of An Huaixu who was still waiting outside.

When the thunder passed, he comforted the child and prepared to leave the cave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, his clothes were grabbed by a dirty little hand.

“Don’t go!”

It was the first time Shi Yun heard the child speak, and he turned around in surprise, only to find that his big eyes were filled with intense fear.

He patiently explained, “I have a friend waiting for me outside, I’ll call him in, don’t worry, I won’t leave, you can watch me from the edge of the cave.”

The child was silent for a while, “…It’s a deal.”

Shi Yun blinked, ending his memory.

He smiled and bent down, guaranteeing as he did that day, “It’s a deal.”

After Qiaoqiao let go, he turned to look at An Huaixu not far away.

He was still a little afraid of An Huaixu, but he still mustered up his courage, “I will remember you too!”

An Huaixu threw away the flower he had picked up casually and nodded, “Okay.”

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, his eyes rolled, and he caught Shi Yun, who was secretly glancing at him, red-handed.

Shi Yun was startled and hurriedly retracted his head, scratching his neck awkwardly.

After that, Qiaoqiao’s family said goodbye to the kindergarten, and the filming of the program returned to normal.

Director Lin sighed, “If Qiaoqiao hadn’t been so far away from home, I would have really wanted to invite him back to film with us.”

Principal Zhang sighed, “This family is finally reunited… They are lucky.

There are too many children who get lost and cannot be reunited in the world…”

Director Lin, “It’s hard to imagine how their parents got through it…”

Principal Zhang, “They can’t get through it. It’s a lifelong knot.”

The two started talking about their own children.

Shi Yun followed them slowly, listening quietly.

After everyone left, An Huaixu stood in place for a long time before returning to the kindergarten.

Classes were still continuing as usual.

Similarly, the child-rearing variety show hashtags on the internet were still hotly fermenting.

[#An Huaixu is sick! (Worried) Gege looks listless, it’s so heartbreaking!#

#Qiaoqiao is home! (Congratulations) I saw the program team’s essay, it’s so touching!#

#The official blog of the child-rearing variety show releases a summary of photos of missing children in recent years, calling on everyone to take action together! (Heart) #

#The small child-rearing variety show is doing great things, I’m proud of you!#]

As time went on, a hashtag [#Grandma, the CP you’re shipping seems to have broken up! (Terrified) The An Shi position is the distance between the South and North Poles!#] broke out of the siege.

At first, people didn’t know why, but later, people became restless.

[My good An Shi, why are you giving sugar, crying and scolding your mother!]

[Everyone, we’re still sweet! If you don’t break up, I’m willing to pay ten yuan for the script fee!]

[What’s wrong with the child-rearing variety show, are you floating?!

After eating enough of this wave of traffic, are you preparing to abandon our CP fans who are still in their infancy?! I’m going to sue you!]

[I’m an unknown passerby, what’s going on, whose fans have collapsed??

When I entered the live broadcast room, I almost got a mosaic!]

[CP fans, wake up, a CP that’s hyped up will always have this day!]

[I just asked my husband if he would hook up with his brother, and my husband said he definitely wouldn’t, so An Shi is real! If it’s not real, then one of them must be real, right, An Huaixu!]

[An Huaixu is gay? How disgusting!]

[What kind of world is this? Homosexual marriage has been legal for so many years, how can there be people living in ancient times! An Shi is real!]

The comments on the screen quickly started to quarrel, making it difficult for the staff in the group not to notice.
Director Lin looked at Principal Zhang in confusion, “Did we do anything?”

Principal Zhang shook his head, “We didn’t do anything…right.”

Director Lin also started to feel unsure of himself.

After all, with no script and no hype, just pure free development, what could he do?!

In fact, the most broken down in the group were Caizhen and Ani.

The two girls squatted in the corner with their butts sticking out, their expressions as serious as if the world was about to end.

Ani rested her chin, unable to figure it out, “It was fine in the morning, Teacher An even made a happy breakfast, how did it become…”

She looked at Shi Yun, who was busy with something in the north, and sighed a very loud sigh.

Caizhen enlarged, shrunk, and rotated that photo 180 degrees, trying to find a bit of acting in those two cold faces.

“I don’t believe it, my CP can break up in front of me?!”

Ani had been following Shi Yun and An Huaixu’s live broadcast these past few days and had developed a strong and good heart.

She was a little calmer than Caizhen, and after looking at Shi Yun, she went to look at An Huaixu again.

An Huaixu stood on the steps, looking up at the roof.

During this time, he didn’t look in Shi Yun’s direction at all.

Caizhen gave up studying the photos and went to find someone to do divination.

“Hey, my diviner has given me the result!”

Ani withdrew her gaze and leaned over with great interest, “What did they say?!”

If Ani had insisted for a few more seconds, everything she would have seen would have been different.

For example, Shi Yun, who was busy on the surface, would secretly glance at An Huaixu.

Although An Huaixu was studying the roof, he would look at Shi Yun in the distance when he looked down.

The two were awkwardly paying attention to each other.

This state continued until Shi Yun received a phone call, asked Director Lin for leave, and ran away with a beaming face.

An Huaixu had just finished a class. He didn’t say anything, but his heart had flown far away.

He avoided the camera, leaned against the wall alone, and his gaze lingered on a certain interface for a long time before moving away.

After going back and forth like this a few times, he finally put his phone back in his pocket in frustration.

An Huaixu felt an itch in his throat that he hadn’t felt in a long time.

He had obviously quit smoking for a long time, but it flared up again at this time.

Coincidentally, a staff member passed by him humming a song.

An Huaixu, “Hello, do you have a cigarette?”

The staff member didn’t seem to notice that there was someone here and was startled.

After reacting, he hurriedly took out something from his pocket and gave it all to An Huaixu.

An Huaixu’s mood got worse looking at his attitude, “Forget it, you can go.”

The staff member hurried away.

An Huaixu, “…”

He closed his eyes, pinched the space between his eyebrows, and squatted down.

After an unknown amount of time, a footstep suddenly sounded.

An Huaixu instantly raised his head.

After seeing who it was, he lowered his eyes listlessly again.

“What’s wrong?”

“Who did you learn to be so rude from, still need to be called to eat?”

Director Lin, holding a cigarette in his mouth, snorted with a bad temper,

“What’s with that expression, don’t scare the children!”

An Huaixu, “…”

Seeing that An Huaixu didn’t speak, Director Lin realized that this guy really had a problem and asked tentatively,

“Did you not take your medicine properly?”

An Huaixu turned his head away.

Director Lin was now certain.

He said that he always felt that An Huaixu hadn’t been quite right lately.

If An Mingli hadn’t watched the live broadcast today and come to remind him, he would have really forgotten.

Director Lin sighed, “You’re always like this, not listening properly, do you want to be locked in a mental hospital again?”

An Huaixu’s face darkened when he heard this word.

This was clearly a memory that he didn’t want to mention.

Director Lin also knew this, but the more he was with An Huaixu in this state, the more he couldn’t smooth things over, he wouldn’t listen.

So he said, “You’re like a masochist, Xiao Yu would definitely scold you if she knew you were like this.”

An Huaixu blinked and finally spoke, “I’m fine, I’m just a little tired. What did Shi Yun go to do?”

Director Lin was a little surprised, “Didn’t he tell you? His parents are back, he’s going to pick them up.”
