BXBX NOVEL Chapter 199 - 199: It Hurts Because You Care Too Much
Li Shengxia was pacing back and forth outside the kindergarten when she saw a boy of about four or five years old climbing a tree diagonally across the road.
Li Shengxia noticed that he could not hold on to the tree trunk for a few times, as if he was about to fall, so she quickly ran to the other side of the road.
At this moment, the boy had already climbed up the tree trunk and stepped on the tree fork. He reached out to touch the leaves in the distance, but he tried a few times to no avail.
Li Shengxia ran to the tree and said to him,”Little boy, come down. It’s dangerous.
The boy glanced at Li Shengxia but did not listen to her advice. He continued to climb up the tree branch.
Li Shengxia had a vague feeling of danger. She realized that there was a butterfly kite hanging in the direction the boy was moving and quickly understood.
“Are you going up to get a kite? Come down quickly, I have an idea.” Li Shengxia’s words piqued the interest of the children.” Really?”
“Take a few steps back first.”
The boy retreated to the fork of the tree suspiciously. It was more solid here, so it would not shake or fall. “And then?”
The tree was not too tall for an adult. Li Shengxia found a branch nearby and used it to hook the kite down.
The kite that the boy couldn’t get with all his strength was easily taken by her. She couldn’t help but clap her hands and cheer,” Wow, that’s great!”
“Be careful…
The rustling of the leaves frightened Li Shengxia. The boy quickly hugged the tree trunk. He was in a good state. However, before Li Shengxia could heave a sigh of relief, he fell from the tree due to his lack of strength and the lack of support on his feet.
Li Shengxia quickly reached out to catch it, but the man was falling too fast and had already fallen to the ground. “How are you? Can you still hear me?”
“Kite…The wind…
“The kite is here…” Li Shengxia quickly stuffed the kite into his palm.
The boy held the kite tightly in his hand and blinked at Li Shengxia as if he wanted to smile at her.
However, Li Shengxia saw blood flowing out from the back of his head and was instantly frightened.” Someone, someone, quickly!”
At the hospital.
Li Shengxia sent the boy to the hospital and even gave him a blood transfusion. She was only relieved when she knew that he was fine.
The boy soon woke up.
The first thing he said when he woke up was,” Sister, thank you. The kite is fine.”
“Since when do you care about kites?” Li Shengxia did not know whether to laugh or cry.” Don’t climb trees randomly in the future! If you can’t get anything, you can ask your brothers and sisters to help you.”
“Yes.” The boy thought for a moment and noticed that there was a kite flying beside his bed. He handed it to Li Shengxia and said reluctantly,””Sister, I’ll
give you a kite.”
“Isn’t this something you cherish very much? Why did you send it to me?
“Because it’s easy to get hurt when there’s something you care about. If I lose this kite, I won’t be able to see it, so I won’t get hurt because of it.”
“You’re really a little kid.” Li Shengxia could not help but be taken aback by her words.
Was it because he cared too much that it hurt him? It turned out that this was a logic that even a child understood…
Would giving something that he cared about to someone else heal his wounds?
“If it were you, sister, you would definitely protect this kite for me, so I’ll give it to you…” the boy continued.
Li Shengxia could see the strong reluctance in his eyes, but he pretended to be strong and looked away from the kite.
“Of course I have to protect the things I care about the most. “Li Shengxia caressed his head gently.” When you’re a man, you’ll be able to protect what you care about.’”‘
The boy returned to his senses and looked at Li Shengxia, his eyes glistening with disbelief.” Really?”
“Yes.” Li Shengxia said.
At this moment, someone broke in…
“Chengen, Chengen, how are you?” The person shouted nervously.
The boy was shocked when he heard the sound. He immediately stuffed the kite behind him and only said two words after a long while,” Grandma.’”‘
Li Shengxia felt as if she had heard the voice somewhere before. She followed the boy’s gaze and realized that it was Mrs. Louis.
Could it be such a coincidence? The person whom he had unintentionally saved just now was Mrs. Louis ‘grandson, Lu Chengen?
Lu Chengen’s small action did not fool Mrs. Louis. She said sternly,””How many times have I told you not to be naughty? Why are you carrying this kite again?
Throw it away!”
“No!” Lu Chengen firmly refused and said,” This is my kite! No one is allowed to throw it away!”
“You…” Mrs. Louis saw the distance in Lu Chengen’s eyes and could not help but feel a slight pain in her heart.
Seeing that the two of them were in a deadlock, Li Shengxia said to Mrs. Louis,””Mrs. Louis, since he likes this kite so much, please let him stay. After all, the little boy has something he wants to protect and will work harder to grow into a real man.”
It was only then that Mrs. Louis noticed that Li Shengxia was there. She could not help but be shocked.” You? You again? Why are you here?”
“Don’t be so fierce to my sister. She just gave me a blood transfusion! She’s my savior.” “The kite and my sister are the most important things to me. I won’t allow you to hurt them!” Lu Chengen said loudly.”
Mrs. Louis was shocked. In the past, she had told Lu Chengen many times to throw away the kite. Although he resisted, he had never tried to protect it as much as he did now. At most, he would give her a cold war, but he would never dare to contradict her.
Mrs. Louis knew that Lu Chengen’s mother had tied the kite with him. She had promised to fly the kite with Lu Chengen, but that day, she had to go abroad at the last minute and unfortunately died.
Mrs. Louis didn’t want Lu Chengen to keep thinking about her, but Lu Chengen was always waiting for his mother to come back and accompany him to fulfill this agreement. This made Mrs. Louis very troubled.
She did not want to cast a shadow over Lu Chengen’s childhood, but she did not know how to do it. Perhaps she had used the wrong method, but it caused Lu Chengen to resist her even more. It made it difficult for her to get close to him, not to mention disciplining him.
Mrs. Louis felt that Li Shengxia’s words made sense, so she curbed her usual sternness and promised Lu Chengen softly,””Okay, I understand. I won’t take away anything important to you, okay?”
Lu Chengen was a little surprised. Usually, Grandma would be very angry and strictly restrain him. But this time, she actually indulged him.
Sister Shengxia was right. You must let others know that you care about something important to you. Only then will that person stop thinking about taking it away from you, and you will have the ability to protect it.
It turned out that he could also protect his kite…
Lu Chengen smiled happily at Li Shengxia, and she returned his encouraging smile. It was rare for Mrs. Louis to see a smile on her grandson’s face, and she was slightly moved..
