Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Missing

However, just as the room was filled with laughter and cheerful voices, San Ya, while eating, suddenly stopped her chopsticks, tears swirling in her eyes before rolling down uncontrollably.

Su Yu was momentarily stunned and quickly asked, “Oh, what’s wrong? Are you choking? Or is the dish not to your taste?” San Ya sobbed and swallowed the food in her mouth, speaking intermittently, “It’s not that… it’s just that it’s so delicious… thinking that I might never be able to eat such tasty food again makes me… just can’t help feeling sad…”

Especially that seemingly ordinary plate of stir-fried cabbage, which was sweet and crunchy, extraordinary in its simplicity. Compared to the bland meals at home, it was incomparable, giving San Ya’s tender soul a tremendous shock.

After hearing this, Su Yu couldn’t help but chuckle, her eyes full of tenderness, “Silly girl, what’s so difficult about that? Whenever you smell something delicious, just come to your aunt’s place. Your aunt will always welcome you; how could I possibly let you go without?”

San Ya looked at Su Yu with half-doubt, her voice uncertain, “Really? Can I… can I come often?”

Su Yu nodded firmly, her tone full of sincerity, “Of course it’s true. When has your aunt ever lied to you?”

Seeing that the worry in San Ya’s eyes had not completely dissipated, Su Yu keenly caught the concerns in her heart.

She must be worried about Lady Zhao or Xie Xinghua being displeased.

Therefore, she deliberately raised her voice, with a bit of a provocative tone, “However, if you don’t dare to come, your aunt can’t help you. I can’t always come to personally invite you, can I?”

Upon hearing this, San Ya’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she quietly defended, “Who… who said I don’t dare… I’m just afraid…”

Despite this, deep down, San Ya had firmly resolved that for these delectable foods that haunted her dreams, no matter what difficulties lay ahead, she would bravely face them and not let anyone stop her from exploring the world of flavors.

Seeing the determination in San Ya’s eyes, Su Yu was secretly pleased and took the opportunity to say, “That’s the spirit. Then it’s settled.

You can come anytime; your aunt’s place will always have a spot for you.

But you have to promise your aunt one thing, that you will always protect Xiao Xixi. She can’t speak, so you have to be her little guardian and not let other children bully her. Can you do that?”

San Ya nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with firm resolve. This meal not only filled her stomach but also planted a seed called “courage” in her tender heart.

Ultimately, where in this world can you genuinely get good things for free? Behind each seemingly effortless gain, there always lies an unknown cost.

Having witnessed today the bullying among the children, their skills so adept, it was truly frightening.

This made one worry, what if one day this merciless bullying befalls innocent Xiao Xixi? How would she deal with it? Xiao Xixi can’t speak; her helplessness and grievances would have to be silently endured, turning her into a silent victim, wouldn’t they?

San Ya strongly agreed with this, nodding repeatedly, almost as if in a rush.

Just for this rare culinary experience, this task itself was worth taking very seriously and diligently.

Although Jiang Ziling had enjoyed delicious meals recently, Su Yu’s simple home-cooked dishes always brought him unprecedented surprises in flavors.

Those seemingly ordinary ingredients, under Su Yu’s skillful preparation, seemed to be endowed with magic, transforming into flavors that were irresistibly unique.

This change not only caused Jiang Ziling’s appetite to unknowingly increase—he needed an extra bowl each meal—but also Xiao Xixi’s previously somewhat thin face had become round and cute, filled with a healthy flush.

When Jiang Ziling looked at Su Yu, his eyes were filled with endless tenderness and gratitude.

Since Su Yu had stepped into this home, he and Xixi had completely bid farewell to hunger and cold.

Yet, whenever he thought about the day in the future when Su Yu might leave, a subtle heartache would stealthily climb into his heart, filling him with an indescribable unease.

Su Yu did not notice the subtle changes in Jiang Ziling’s emotions and continued to happily share everyday trivial matters with him, telling him about his plan to visit the Huichun Hall in the town the next day to consult patients and suggesting they take Xixi with them.

“Are you planning to take her with you?”

Jiang Ziling slightly surprised, asked again for confirmation.

Su Yu gently put down his chopsticks, his voice conveying certainty, “Yes, children love excitement, and it’s a good opportunity for me to take her out for some fresh air.”

Noticing Jiang Ziling’s hesitancy, Su Yu half-jokingly said, “What, you aren’t afraid I’d sell her, are you?”

On hearing this, Jiang Ziling quickly shook his head to clarify, “That’s not it, but you mentioned you’d be consulting at the Medical Hall tomorrow and I’m afraid you’d be too busy alone. The town gets crowded on market days, and if Xixi accidentally gets lost…”

With that remark, Su Yu’s initial confidence was somewhat shaken, “That… surely won’t happen…”

The initial thought of taking Xixi to town was now beginning to waver.

“Maybe it’s better not to?”

Su Yu was mainly worried about leaving Jiang Ziling alone at home with limited mobility and tasked with taking care of the child, hence the thought of bringing Xixi along emerged.

But Jiang Ziling’s concerns were not unfounded either, in case…

Jiang Ziling gently nodded, indicating agreement, but at this moment, Xixi clearly showed her discontent.

A moment ago, she was thrilled about going to town, but in an instant, her hope was dashed.

For Xixi, this was absolutely unacceptable.

She eagerly waved her little hands, trying hard to convey through gestures her resolve to be well-behaved and promise not to wander off.

However, Su Yu and Jiang Ziling were baffled by this barrage of gestures, failing to grasp the meaning.

At a critical moment, San Ya spoke up to break the silence, “Second Aunt, I think Xixi really wants to go to town with you.”

Although San Ya might not fully comprehend the exact meanings of Xixi’s gestures, in her view, which child wouldn’t enjoy the lively and fun town? It seemed like an unspoken wish.

Xixi nodded her head vigorously like a chick pecking at grains, her cheeks reddened with excitement, like the early dawn rising on the horizon, lighting up the whole room.

“But I’m worried I’ll be too busy to keep an eye on you, and what if those with ill intentions take you away, what then!” Su Yu said, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, with a look of difficulty on his face, his eyes filled with worry and affection.

Upon hearing this, Xixi seemed even more determined, her hands frantically moving in the air, each gesture filled with urgency and resolution, like a little bird eager to spread its wings and fly, trying to prove its capability.
