Xiaoguai turned his head and smiled at Wen Wan, a smile that came from the heart but also made Wen Wan feel a pang of heartache. Which child doesn't wish for their parents to be by their side? Xiaoguai was no exception.
After dinner, Gu Yang took the two of them to the cinema and chose an animated movie that all children love. Sitting between the two, Xiaoguai looked back and forth, his happiness evident. Slowly, his little hands moved towards them until at last, he held Gu Yang and Wen Wan's hands, one in each hand, his bright eyes sparkling.
Gu Yang looked at Xiaoguai in surprise and then looked up to exchange a glance with Wen Wan before breaking into a warm smile. The large hand that Xiaoguai was holding squeezed back firmly.
Wen Wan's gaze fell on the movie screen, her expression somewhat distant. She had never imagined one day they would be... "a family of three" going to the movies. She felt surreal, as if she were dreaming.
