I Give Half of My Life to You

Chapter 26

26: Returning Home

Even though it was a sunny day, the light couldn't keep the cold twelfth lunar month air away.

But that was the last thing Lin Miao could care about. She was so keen on going home that each step she took was more like an excited hop. It was as if her heart wouldn't allow her to walk regularly.

It was becoming more apparent to the people in the mansion that she might not be returning back.

Lin Miao carried her backpack like how she did when she left her village.

She threw herself in her mother's arms, so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "Mommy, you've come to pick me up!"

She started smiling afterwards.

They didn't know if it was the adults in the mansion trying to compromise for the person upstairs on the balcony, but Grandma brought in Lin Miao's mother, who received Lin Miao in the garden.

The Young Master on the second floor patted the dogs beside him. She is smiling so much, even more, when she finally won a game after three hundred and forty-four games against me, the Young Master thought.

She wasn't this happy when they were buying candy either.

After the Young Master recalled all his memories, he was sure that this was her happiest moment that he saw.

He had a feeling that he was just like one of her buddies she often mentioned.

They played together, but she also didn't mind if they separated.

The Young Master lowered his head with this realization.

Downstairs, Lin Miao's father lifted Lin Miao up, "Yep, Shuishui is going home."

Lin Miao's mother bowed to the other adults, "Thank you for your care."

Lin Miao whispered beside her father's ear, "Daddy, is younger brother feeling better?"

"Yep, he's waiting for us in the car." Her father responded softly.

Lin Miao was even happier.

The three began to walk towards their car. Lin Miao realized just then that the Young Master was absent.

Searching for him, her sight landed on the second-floor balcony, where he rested. The sun was shining towards the Young Master so she couldn't distinguish his expression. She just felt that her brother was glowing.

Lin Miao was a bit sad leaving him. She wanted to pocket him and bring him back, but he would definitely need to celebrate the New Year with his parents just like her. It was too unreasonable, so she just said towards the especially warm Young Master in the wintery sunlight, "Gege, I'm leaving. I'll bring you a pomelo when I return. Little Mei said she saved two for me, I'll save one of those for you!"

The Young Master forced a smile, not wanting to ruin her enthusiasm, "Mm, travel safely."

And then, she left his line of sight.

Walking out of the neighbourhood, she saw her younger brother beside the car. She barely recognized him.

Originally, her brother was like her: tanned and short because of going up the mountains and down the waters. However, he was now way whiter and taller, even taller than her.

Lin Miao felt as if she was struck by lightning.

All her excitement turned into one sentence. She turned around, looked at her parents, and said, "Mommy, what did you feed to my brother..."

Lin Miao's brother was also excited to see his sister again, but then he heard his sister say that so he carefully responded, "Older Sister..."

Hearing this, Lin Miao turned her head around and pretended that she didn't say anything. In the past, they agreed that they would call the one who was the tallest the older sibling. So, Lin Miao maturely patted her brother's head, "Has Didi been behaving well for the past months? Were you obedient? Older Sister bought candy for you."
