Chapter 697: On Fire

If one was never a father, one would never understand the responsibility of being one.

Now, he had, and he understood.

Knock, knock. There seemed to be someone knocking outside. Chu Lui took his watch and saw that it was already past eight. He carefully carried his daughter down and went to open the door.

There could only be Xia Ruoxin knocking on the door at this time.

“I’ll carry her over. She’s still sleeping.”

Chu Lui knew what Xia Ruoxin was doing. Even though he wanted to spend more time with his daughter, he knew that Xia Ruoxin was going to the studio on weekends; and Rainy had to follow.

He went in again and carried out his daughter who was fast asleep.

However, he did not pass her to Xia Ruoxin. It was still not convenient with Xia Ruoxin’s arm, especially since Rainy was getting heavier.

Rainy rubbed her eyes and took a look at Xia Ruoxin. She rubbed her eyes again and leaned on Chu Lui’s shoulder and fell back asleep.

“Mommy, Rainy will sleep just a while more. A while.”

After she finished talking, she fell back asleep. Of course, it was not for a while.

Chu Lui carried his daughter back to Xia Ruoxin’s room. Xia Ruoxin had already found clothes and was helping her daughter change. The timing was just right when she was done changing. Rainy rubbed her eyes and finally opened them.

“Are you awake?” Xia Ruoxin pinched her daughter’s cheeks.

“Mommy.” Rainy extended her hands and hugged her mother’s neck, ready to whine early in the morning. “Rainy loves Mommy the best.”

“Yes, Mommy loves Rainy the most, too.” Xia Ruoxin kissed her daughter’s face, carried her down, and brought her to wash up as they were going to the studio in a while.

Rainy stuffed the snacks into her bag to give the brother and sister to eat. However, she did not have any money as Mommy said that a child could only have money during New Years. Yes, she decided that when she earned enough money, she would give everything to the brother to allow her sister to regrow her leg.

“Let’s go.” Xia Ruoxin changed her shoes and waved towards Rainy. Rainy ran over and wore her shoes properly before holding her mother’s hands. However, she kept looking at the opposite door for a very long time.

“Is Uncle still sleeping? He’s really lazy.”

She pouted her pinkish lips and had labeled Chu Lui as a lazy person.

When they reached, the students were not there yet; but someone had already cleaned up and placed items there.

Rainy kept looking upwards, waiting for that brother and sister to come. She touched the bag that she was carrying, and inside there were the sweets she brought for the two siblings.

“Brother, Sister.”

Rainy eyes lit up and ran over to help Guo’er push her wheelchair before taking out a sweet from her bag. She fed one to the girl and the other to Lin Qing.

This was Lin Qing’s first time eating a sweet. If he had not eaten it, he would have saved it for his sister.

“Thank you, Mei Mei.” Guo’er smiled satisfyingly. “This sweet is really nice, right, Brother?”

“Yes.” Lin Qing smiled and dragged the canvas in front of Guo’er. The three of them sat together and followed the teacher to draw what they wanted to. Perhaps it was childish and did not have any skills, but it was what they wanted to draw.

Xia Ruoxin walked over. Honestly, she really liked Lin Qing’s painting. Lin Qing’s painting was unique on its own and did not have the same sunflower happiness like the other children. But it had its own deep gloominess. As for Guo’er, she was much simpler. Her drawing was filled with sunshine, and one could tell that she was enjoying life and did not view herself as inferior because of her lack of leg.

Perhaps it was because she was still young and believed that her leg would grow again. However, when she was older, she would realize that her leg would never grow.

After the morning class, Xia Ruoxin suddenly remembered that she had to go to the shopping center to buy some items. She brought Rainy to the nearby shopping center to buy some milk powder for Rainy; if not, they would run out of it.

Rainy pulled the corner of her mother’s clothes tightly and followed behind her wherever she went. Suddenly, she saw something, let go of Xia Ruoxin’s clothes, and was going to run over. In the end, one hand came up; and her collar was lifted.

“What are you going to do?”

Xia Ruoxin pulled on her daughter’s braids.

Rainy hurriedly covered her head. “Mommy, don’t touch.” She loved her hair to bits. Usually, when she dropped a strand, she would be sad for a really long time. She was afraid that her mother would pull all her hair out.

“What are you going to do?” Xia Ruoxin finally let go of Rainy’s braids. She then pointed to the front.

“Mommy, Brother’s clothes are broken. Rainy wants to buy a dress because Rainy’s ones are too small. Brother can’t wear them.”

Xia Ruoxin arranged her daughter’s hair. When she heard what she said, she then remembered that the Lin Qing siblings did wear the same clothes every time they came. Even though they were sponsored by Chu Lui, it was impossible to care for every single one of them when there were so many children.

“Let’s go.” She held her daughter’s hand. “We’ll buy clothes for Brother, but guys don’t wear dresses.”

“Why?” Rainy followed her mother closely. Dresses were beautiful; she loved wearing them.

“Because Brother is a boy, not a girl. Boys are different from girls.”

“What’s the difference?” Rainy tilted her head. “Oh, Brother Xiao Qing does not have braids.”

“That’s right.” Xia Ruoxin went on with what her daughter was saying. Of course, she was not wrong in saying that; most boys indeed did not have braids.

When they entered the children’s store, Xia Ruoxin bought two sets of clothes according to Lin Qing’s height. Of course, they did not forget about Guo’er’s. When they were picking clothes, they did not notice that a wire in the shop was too old and started to give out sparks from time to time.

Piak! A small cluster of fire started burning up, and there was thick gray smoke coming out. They were a distance away from the place when someone yelled.

“FIRE!”

Bang! Xia Ruoxin dropped the items in her hand on the floor.

Hurriedly, she carried Rainy and ran out with the crowd. Originally, her left hand was already inconvenient. It was extremely tiring to carry Rainy with one hand, and after a short time, she was tired to the point where her forehead was sweating and half her shirt was wet.
