It was the first time Cheng Su traveled alone with Qi Xiaoqi, and Mother Cheng was extremely worried, reminding them over and over. In the end, she still said, "Why don’t I go with you?"
"Mom, it’s fine. Xiao Qi is already a year old." Cheng Su smiled, cherishing the rare family reunion of the three, knowing that adding another person would make it less free.
Seeing her determination, Mother Cheng had no choice but to relent, handing a red envelope to Qi Xiaoqi: "Wishing our Xiao Qi good health and safety to a hundred years old."
"Hurry and thank Grandma." Cheng Su glanced at her son.
Qi Xiaoqi held the red envelope and looked at his Grandma: "Thanks."
Mother Cheng couldn’t bear to part with her grandson, hugging him tightly and calling him lovingly.
Cheng Su found it amusing, put on a backpack, and then secured Qi Xiaoqi in a front carrier before heading out to catch the bus.
The journey from Guangcheng to Zhu City took three hours. In her previous life, Cheng Su went to Zhu City quite often, although it had already developed well by then. Unlike now, the roadside scenery was nothing but fields.
Cheng Su didn’t forget to introduce the scenery to her son, the two of them chattering all the way. As they entered the boundary of Zhu City, the endless sea unfolded by the roadside.
"Xiao Qi, look, that’s the sea." Cheng Su patted Qi Xiaoqi’s hand, pointing at the azure sky and sea outside.
Qi Xiaoqi turned his head to look out.
It was already July, the car windows were open, and since it was morning, the sea breeze brought a unique salty scent.
Qi Xiaoqi got excited, twisting his little body, wanting to place his hands on the glass window. Cheng Su, worried he might get hurt, had to let him stand on the seat and held him, preventing his hands from grabbing onto anything and getting scraped by passing cars.
"This is Zhu City already. Soon, Dad will come to pick us up. Remember to greet him, okay? Let’s practice, ’Dad...’" Cheng Su coaxed him.
Qi Xiaoqi seemed not to hear, only staring at the sea, eyes unblinking.
Cheng Su tried several times, but there was no response, which made her a bit deflated.
