After Lin Fan came to his senses, he no longer felt so resistant, and instead felt a little bit of anticipation.
When Wu Yusen parked the car, he saw Lin Fan laughing and shaking her head, and he didn't know what happy things she was thinking about. He suddenly felt sad. How could someone like her who was so happy with herself have become so depressed?
But it's a good thing that he's getting better now, and he doesn't want to mention his previous dark life in front of Lin Fan anymore.
It’s good to enjoy the present moment.
Wu Yusen parked the car and carried Lin Fan down the road.
"Hey, garbage." Lin Fan pointed at the plastic bag that she had eaten empty at the foot of the steps and wanted to climb up to get it.
John Woo stopped her and said, "I'll do it."
He took the trash from the front row and went to the back row to pick up Lin Fan's luggage. "Come on, your hat and gloves are still here. Put them on quickly. It's cold."
Lin Fan looked at the tiger-head hat and cloth gloves and obediently let him help him put them on.
Anyway, she lay down, and from now on, she was just a child.
Looking at the increasingly adorable little Lin Fan, John Woo smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't be seen, and he couldn't help but want to hug him.
"No, no, no!" Lin Fan quickly stepped back.
Although I decided to experience childhood, it was mentally, not physically.
Walking on her own was her last act of stubbornness.
Wu Yusen didn't force it. He locked the car and led Lin Fan slowly home.
Wu's parents had already prepared dinner and had been waiting at home for a while.
When he heard the beeping sound of the elevator door opening outside, Dad Wu immediately stood up and opened the door, just in time to see his son who was about to open the door.
"You're back?" Aunt Wu glanced at her son with a smile. "Come in quickly. Are you cold? Where are the guests?"
There was no one behind John Woo, but he was holding two bags in his hands, which he had not seen when he went out.
"Look, here." John Woo turned sideways, revealing Lin Fan, who was wearing a tiger-head hat and a red suit.
"Oh, whose little baby is this?" Aunt Wu's heart melted when she saw Lin Fan.
She walked over, hugged the little person, put her face close to her, and gently touched her nose with the tip of her nose, rubbing it affectionately.
Lin Fan had never had such an experience in his memory.
When she was little, she had hoped that Lin Ma could be so close to her, but as she grew older, she had given up on this wish.
I didn't expect that it was John Woo's mother who did this to her.
Lin Fan felt a little sad and warm in her heart... This was the mother she dreamed of.
She bit her lower lip, suppressed the tears that were welling up in her eyes, and greeted him politely.
"Happy New Year, Auntie."
"No, no, you should call her grandma!" Aunt Wu corrected with a laugh.
...This is awkward. How can I call this appropriate?
Lin Fan closed his mouth tightly and fell into a new dilemma.
"Hurry up, come in first." John Woo had already changed into slippers. Seeing his mother still holding Lin Fan outside, he felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Yes, come in quickly." Dad Wu picked up Mom Wu and picked up little Lin Fan at the same time, and went into the house together.
"Didn't you go out to help a friend? Why did you bring back a child?" Dad Wu looked at Mom Wu sitting on the sofa holding the child and kissing her. He had to admit that the child was indeed beautiful.
...It's this friend...
Just as Wu Yusen was about to explain, he was interrupted by Wu Ma's voice.
"Oh, who hit this child on the face?" Mother Wu suddenly shouted, attracting Father Wu over.
John Woo's house has underfloor heating, and it's as warm as spring when you enter. You have to take off your coat to feel comfortable.
When Wu Ma was helping Lin Fan take off her clothes and hat, she saw fingerprints on her face.
Lin Fan's physique was prone to bruising, and after his evolution, his skin became white and flawless. After shrinking, even his pores were invisible.
The three deep red and raised fingerprints were very eye-catching.
"The traffickers beat her." Seeing this, Wu Yusen skipped over Wu's father's questioning and leaned over to Wu's mother. "She was almost abducted by traffickers this morning. She was struggling, and they beat her."
Then he gave a brief account of what had happened.
"How could these damn human traffickers be so violent?" Wu Ma wanted to touch him but didn't dare. "They'd better hit him in the ear. What if he goes deaf?"
Father Wu quickly dug out the family medicine box and took out a bottle of green ointment. "Here, this will reduce swelling. Rub it on the child."
Wu Ma dipped a cotton swab in some liquid and gently rubbed it on Lin Fan's face. She breathed in and out as she did so, and asked if it hurt.
Lin Fan looked at Wu Ma's gentle face and tears flowed out without warning.
Why does the mother she wants be someone else's mother?
"Oh my dear, don't cry, don't cry. Grandma must have hurt you." Aunt Wu quickly hugged Lin Fan tightly and coaxed him.
"Where are his parents? Why do they let their child be alone outside during the New Year?" Dad Wu frowned slightly. These parents are too unreliable.
"They...well, have other things to do and are not convenient, so I'll just help out and take care of them for a few days. I'll just take them back when I go to work." John Woo explained half-truthfully.
"They're incredible!" Aunt Wu looked up from her coaxing of the child and covered Lin Fan's ears. "What they say online is true. The barrier to entry for becoming a parent is truly too low."
Turning around, she saw little Lin Fan looking at her with tears in his eyes. Wu Ma's heart melted even more. "It's okay, just stay at grandma's house. Grandma loves you, little darling."
But this is unfair to Lin's father and mother.
When they learned that someone had kidnapped a child outside the community, they were filled with indignation and cursed for a long time. They could never have imagined that the child who was almost kidnapped was his own Lin Fan.
Who could have imagined this? A grown-up girl turning into a little kid. That's something you only see on TV.
"Okay, let's eat quickly. The kids must be hungry." Dad Wu urged everyone to go to the table.
"Right, right, right." Aunt Wu asked Lin Fan with a smile. "Hurry up and eat! Our little one must be starving, right?"
Lin Fan, who had just finished a large bag of food and didn't feel hungry at all, seemed to be bewitched. He looked at Wu Ma's smiling face and nodded slightly.
Mother Wu smiled and carried Lin Fan to the dining table to sit down, while she and Father Wu went to the kitchen to reheat the food.
Lin Fan looked at them busying around in the kitchen, chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but think of his father and mother.
Really, it’s not the same…
At this moment, Lin Fan felt a little envious of John Woo.
She looked up at the tall man standing beside him...
"What's wrong?" Wu Yusen received Lin Fan's gaze and asked.
"...I need to wash my hands." Lin Fan hid his thoughts and jumped off the chair.
Wu Yusen took her to the bathroom, only to find that Lin Fan couldn't reach the sink. He had no choice but to lift her up from behind, grabbing her armpits. Only then could he wash her hands.
I need to buy a children's stepping stool. John Woo added another item to his shopping list.
When it was time to eat, Aunt Wu sat on the other side of Lin Fan and helped her pick up the dishes. If there were fish or shrimp, she would also help her prepare them.
Lin Fan secretly felt Wu Ma's maternal love, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
It turns out that every mother is different from every other mother.
If she becomes smaller, she can experience these previously unattainable feelings, and she hopes that this state of affairs can last longer.
Lin Fan looked at Wu Ma with a puffed mouth, as she spoke to her with repetitions of words. She was very sure that if the 37-year-old Lin Fan sat here, he would definitely not be treated like this.
Thanks for being smaller.
This is truly the best thing that has happened this year.
When you were little, did you think other people's parents were the best? Hahaha. I did when I was little.
