Chapter 1690: Running

Translator: 549690339

When Cai meiwen heard little celery’s words, she was very angry at first, because it was obviously not normal for an adult man to be friends with an elementary school girl. It was easy to suspect that the man had ulterior motives. But when she heard little celery say that she was always busy and didn’t have the chance to tell her, she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart, and she was overwhelmed by a wave of depression.

Little celery lowered her head and stared at the tips of her shoes, then added in a daze, “It’s not just the store manager. There are also the two silly store assistants, the cashier who’s always drawing seriously, and the mysterious big sister fish. They’re all my friends …”

Jiang Feifei was stunned for a moment, then she realized that the so-called big sister fish was referring to her. It was probably because she spent most of her time in the aquarium, and the lights in the aquarium were dim. She always stuck her face to the wall of the aquarium to observe the aquatic creatures, so she seemed a little mysterious. Perhaps the word “mysterious” had already been beautified. Little celery might really want to say that she was a little ghostly …

This was probably … The consequence of a lack of fatherly love.

Cai meiwen had always thought that she could be both a father and a mother, and she thought that she had done a good job. At least, she was better than those families where the husband and wife didn’t care about their children even though they weren’t divorced. In fact, little celery was still very lonely, but because little celery had always been very sensible and obedient, she didn’t want her to worry, so she didn’t show that she was lonely.

Little celery only had friends in school, but no friends in real life, because Cai meiwen didn’t have time and didn’t feel at ease letting her play with the other children in the neighborhood. She had already taken out all her free time to accompany little celery, but at the moment, it was far from enough. Or rather, a mother’s love couldn’t completely replace friends.

Cai meiwen was silent, and little celery kept peeking at her face, afraid that she would get angry.

Zhang Zian and the staff were also very nervous. They had always regarded little celery as a non-staff member of the store. If her mother was angry and forced her not to come again, there was nothing they could do. After all, she was her mother, and they couldn’t let her get into a conflict with her mother because of them.

The elves ‘eyes flickered as they watched the silent confrontation.

The quiet room made the storm outside seem particularly violent.

The awkward silence lasted for a while.

Cai meiwen touched little celery’s braids. She had personally braided them for little celery before she set off in the morning. Just by looking at the angle of the two braids, she knew that today was Monday.

She cherished the time she spent with her daughter because her child would grow up without her noticing. She didn’t know how long she could braid her daughter’s hair. Maybe after a few years, her daughter would find this method very old-fashioned and would no longer let her do it.

“Little celery, tell me, how did you meet them?” She asked softly.

Little celery nodded and told him how she had become friends with the amazing fate pet shop, including things that even Zhang Zian and the others didn’t know.

When she first started going to school alone, she was actually very scared. Everyone around her was much bigger than her, and some of them looked very fierce. She really wanted to run home and escape from her mother’s protection, but she thought that her mother was already very tired, so she wanted to help her reduce the burden.

She was like a pitiful little beast, cowering as she walked on the sidewalk.

Because of her fear, she wanted to get to school as soon as possible, so after she left home, she started to run.

She ran around the corner, past the breakfast stalls, past the shops … Other than when she was crossing the road, she kept running.

She didn’t know how many days she had gone to school alone, but when she went to the Pet Shop, she was suddenly hit on.

“Little friend, have you been going to school by yourself these days? It’s awesome!” A gentle-looking middle-aged woman stood at the door of the Pet Shop, smiling and greeting her. She even gave her a thumbs-up.

Little celery paused for a moment. Her mother told her not to say hello to strangers, but it would be rude if she didn’t answer, so she quickly nodded and continued running.

The next morning, she was struck up by the same middle-aged woman at the entrance of the Pet Shop.

“Every day, I see you running over there full of energy. Even I feel like I’ve become younger.” The middle-aged woman said with a smile. She was wearing an apron and rubber gloves.

Little celery looked into the shop and saw a man of the same age working there.

She didn’t answer and continued to run.

On the morning of the third day, the same thing happened again.

“Little friend, your two braids are very interesting. From a distance, they look like a pair of rabbit ears. They are as cute as a little rabbit when they jump around.” The middle-aged woman’s smile didn’t fade as she threw a bag of trash into the trash can.

Little rabbit?

Little celery thought of the little bunnies she saw on TV. They were really cute. She had never thought that she would be like a little rabbit.

On the morning of the fourth day.

“Little friend, don’t run when crossing the road. Be careful of the car.” The middle-aged woman was wearing a mask and a mask. She was pouring some pungent liquid into a spray-like object at the entrance of the shop.

“Yes.”

Although it was just a small “hmm,” little celery did reply, which seemed to be against her mother’s principle of not letting her talk to strangers. But it was just a small “hmm,” so it should be fine, right?

On the morning of the fifth day.

The middle-aged woman didn’t work today. She was standing at the door and talking to another middle-aged man. When she saw little celery, she just waved at her.

“Send him a message and ask him if he’ll be back during the National Golden Week.” The man said,”when I come back, I’ll go buy the meat and fish in advance. Otherwise, it’ll be expensive to buy them before the festival.”

“He’ll definitely be back. The Mid-Autumn Festival is around the same time. How can he not be back? Auntie Liu even said that she’s going to introduce him to someone. ” Although the middle-aged woman said that, she didn’t seem to be confident. She looked hopeful.

Who wants to come back?

Little celery also waved her hand slightly. If Yingying just waved her hand, it wouldn’t be considered talking to a stranger, right?

The sixth day … Well, the sixth and seventh days were weekends, so there were no classes.

Next Monday, when she ran past the Pet Shop, the middle-aged woman would still greet her every day, even if she didn’t respond.

Running was very tiring, and the weather hadn’t completely cooled down yet, so it was also very hot. Every day when she ran to school, she would be covered in sweat.

When she ran to the Pet Shop, she was very close to the school. She felt at ease, as if she didn’t have to be so afraid anymore. Therefore, she would unconsciously slow down, take a break, and catch her breath.

“Wipe my sweat?”

A few meters away, the middle-aged woman stood in front of the store and handed her a pack of tissues.

Little celery shook her head.

On Tuesday, the middle-aged woman handed her a tissue again.

Little celery stopped.
