He stopped abruptly again. This time she was more agile, slowing down to run up beside him. She giggled proudly: "Do you think I'm good? I won't touch your back this time."
He must have had another thought when he saw her smile. He didn't think that when she smiled, she was so beautiful, her dimples, and bright eyes when she smiled, brightened her whole face. That's what he says in his heart, but on the outside, he says otherwise: "I'm not wrong to say you're stupid."
"I'm not stupid."
"Ok. What do you want to say?"
She took his hand: "Can we go somewhere else to talk?"
He withdrew his hand and said: "Okay. Let's go."
She led the way, and he followed her. She led him to a large tree. There was a rusty swing near the base of the tree. The scenery here was beautiful during the day, now the sun going down the mountain is even more beautiful. This was the place she had accidentally discovered yesterday while walking.
She happily asked him: "Do you think this place is beautiful?"
She was smiling with wide eyes and turned to see him change his face, his eyes flickered with a pain that was hard to hide. She cares for him: "How are you? You don't like this place?"
His eyes aimlessly looked into the distance: "This is my favorite place when I was a child. But now I don't like it anymore."
"Why don't you like it anymore?"
He looked at her, and replied cryptically: "Everyone changes."
After that, he went back to the rusted swing, stood and stared for a while, then slowly sat down and said to her: "What do you want to talk about?"
"I see you out every day from morning till night. Do you go to work?"
"No."
"Where did you go?"
"It's my private matter."
"It's my private matter. If you're done asking, I'm leaving."
After that, he got up and wanted to go back. She panicked and said: "Wait. I'm not done asking yet."
He gritted his teeth: "You ask quickly."
"Where are your parents? Why haven't I seen your parents since I've been here?"
After a long time, he replied: "My parents and sister are dead."
She realized she had asked a question she shouldn't have asked, and she bowed her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that."
"No problem."
She boldly asked: "Are you sad?"
He looked directly into her eyes: "If your whole family died, would you be sad?"
"I will be very sad."
"Then why are you asking me?"
"Hmm. Do you have a particular favorite?"
"Not available."
Having received the answer, she sighed in frustration. She didn't expect his life to be so boring. If he doesn't love anything, what gift should she give him now?
She thought for a long time and finally thought of a gift for him. After dinner, she sneaked out and went around looking for a piece of wood under the trees. Usually, she sees a lot, but it's evening so it's a bit difficult to find. Luckily, she found some pieces of wood after a while.
Time is running out, she has to hurry back to her room to sculpt them into beautiful wooden statues.
Because her father is a carpenter, she was made by him from a young age to make various wooden toys. Her room was also decorated a lot, over the years she grew up, so many wooden items increased. She is skillful with her hands and also learned from her father how to sculpt from wood. This is the time when she shows her talent.
If he doesn't like something, she will make him something she loves.
She carefully sculpted until late at night. She was already very sleepy, but if she didn't finish work and went to bed, she wouldn't be able to give him a present tomorrow. She tried to overcome the sleepiness, little by little.
The wooden figure gradually appeared, it was the image of a boy and a girl sitting together. It was exactly her and him, she was about to go home, she wanted him to keep this gift as a souvenir so that he would never forget her.
She did not sleep all night, and it was not until morning that she finished the wooden statue. She looked at the statue with satisfaction for a long time. She worked hard to create it. This is a statue of her and him sitting next to each other, both smiling and looking very beautiful. She felt more satisfied than ever.
Her eyes could not be opened because of fatigue, it was still not bright outside. So she just went to bed for a bit. Early tomorrow morning she will present the statue before he leaves the palace.
However, when she woke up, it was already noon. She just wanted to sleep for a bit, planning to give him a present this morning. But now she sleeps until noon.
Rushing out, she found the hallway as empty as ever. She wondered, today is the birthday of the owner of this place, she should have arranged and organized a very lavish birthday party.
Going down to the kitchen, she saw the nanny cleaning. Seeing her, the nanny smiled: "Are you hungry? In the morning, she saw that you slept so well, so she didn't wake up."
She said shyly: "Yes. I'm bothering you."
"I don't mind. Sit down at the table, I'll warm up the food and bring it up for you to eat."
"Yes. Grandma. Is Mr. Jake out as usual?"
"That's right."
"Today is his birthday without having a birthday party?"
"How do you know?"
"I'm sorry. Yesterday I overheard you and Lily talking to each other."
The nanny is not angry, her face is slightly sad: "He doesn't like to celebrate birthdays."
She asked curiously: "Why don't you like it?"
The nanny sighed sadly: "Because his parents and sister died on his birthday. So from then on, he no longer celebrates birthdays."
The nanny shook her head and sighed: "Originally, he was a cheerful and lively person when he was young. But after witnessing his whole family being killed, his personality completely changed."She was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Jake's past to be so painful. No child can't help but be haunted by the sight of his whole family being killed. At that time he was just a child, losing his family was not easy.His current personality is the result of past trauma. He must have hated the man who killed his family.Now she understood why yesterday when he saw the rusty swing he had such a reaction. It was because she was too careless, she shouldn't have led him there, shouldn't have delved into his painful past.Until the nanny brought the food to the table, she was still immersed in her thoughts.The nanny gently shook her hand: "What's wrong? Where are you unwell?"She woke up startled, shook her head, and said: "I'm fine. I'm just thinking about some things.""Do you miss your parents?"
On the way back to her room, the nanny met Jake. She bowed her head in greeting: "Mr. Jake.""Yes."She intended to continue walking to her room, but she should report everything that happened today.The two talked for a long time. As for Amy's business, she hesitated whether she should say it or not. Finally, she said: "Amy is sick today, has a very high fever."He glanced at her, rarely opening his mouth to ask: "How is she now?""I gave her medicine, she's fine now."He waved his hand: "If you have nothing else to do, go back to your room and rest."She was not in a hurry to leave, but stopped and added: "I see that Amy's mood is not good."He thought about her words and then replied: "Next time, please pay more attention to her.""Yes. That's my job. Do you have any plans to bring her back home?"Thanks to the nanny reminding him, he soon had to take her home. He can't leave her here forever, she should return to the loving arms of her parents.He stared into the unknown space at
As time passed, she waited almost every day for his return. Sit next to each other and talk about everything. She and he became close friends. He opened his heart to her and talked more.She stayed here for three months. This time she was very happy. She has new friends, a loving nanny, and cute bunnies. But it's also time for her to say goodbye to this place and return to her parents.Although Jake made no mention of bringing her home. But she knew for herself that her time here was short.That's why she took advantage of the time she had left, doing things she hadn't done yet, going to places she hadn't been, and staying with the palace. Tell him things you haven't said.However, seeing that he did not mention it, she was also nervous. One day, when it was just the two of them sitting next to each other, she frankly asked: "When are you going to take me home?""You miss your parents?"She nodded: "Of course."He looked into the distance, and nonchalantly said: "If you want to go bac
While playing with the rabbits, she suddenly heard a baby bird chirping in the treetops.She raised her head to look up, the tree was tall, the foliage spread wide, so she couldn't see any bird nests.The young birds chirped again, and she relied on the sound to find out which branch they were on. If she had binoculars now, it would be much easier to find.Unfortunately, it wasn't here, so she could only search in vain. Because this is a big perennial tree, too tall and luxuriant. To find a bird's nest is too difficult.Fortunately, she saw a leaf on a moving branch. She was sure there was a nest of young birds on that branch, perhaps they were in danger or were hungry.Don't know where the mother bird went, maybe the mother bird is looking for food. But with a situation like this, the chicks may not be able to stand it.Now she couldn't risk climbing the tree. She didn't know how to climb trees, but hearing such a loud cry, she couldn't stand to watch. She started looking for a long
At Jake's place for a few more days, Amy was completely healthy, it was finally time for her to return home to her parents.On the day of parting, the sky was overcast, without a ray of sunshine. The people at the palace all went out to say goodbye to her. Although she was only here for a short time, she got to know a lot of people and they all loved her very much.Being here for a while, she didn't want to leave this place. Being here is like the life she longs for, her second home, there are so many memories that she regrets and doesn't want to leave.Before leaving, the nanny who regularly took care of her was very sad. The nanny prepared for her some food to bring along the way: "Take it, I made you some food along the way. If you're hungry, take it out and eat."She took it, her eyes filled with tears: "Thank you for taking care of me all the time." She really couldn't bear to leave the nanny. From the time she was born until now, apart from her family, the nanny was the first pe
Amy's parents came back from the yard and saw the door open. Do they doubt whether a thief entered the house or not? They immediately went as fast as they could into the house. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a strange man, standing staring at the family photo hanging on the wall. They were surprised that they did not make any noise, stood aside, and watched the man.The man did not notice their return. Still standing, not moving, looking at his face was very angry. His appearance and the way he dressed did not look like a thief. On the contrary, it is more like the son of a rich family, who happened to pass by and stopped in their house.They looked around the house, seeing that everything was still neat, with no sign of any signs. disrupt. Looking into the corner of the sofa, they suddenly saw Amy sitting frightened in a corner. They spoke quickly to their daughter. Seeing their daughter who had not seen her for two months, they were very happy.At first, when Amy went to
Amy was sleeping, suddenly woken up by thunder. She was not completely awake, dreamily continued to close her eyes, and continued to sleep in her familiar bed.Sleeping at home is still the most comfortable, she hasn't come home for two months, now sleeping in her familiar bed, making her lazy and not wanting to leave the bed at all.She was about to go back to sleep when suddenly she remembered Jake. She remembered sitting on the floor with her mother, but she was sleepy and slept all the time without knowing it. When she woke up in bed, she guessed that her parents had taken her to her room and gone out.She listened to the sounds outside but heard no one. She wondered, why is it so quiet outside, only the sound of rain falling?She opened her eyes, sat up, went to open the room door, and went straight out. There was no one outside the living room. She looked around the house. She searched every nook and cranny but still couldn't find anyone. Woke up, everyone in the house suddenly
After completing the funeral. The last time was too busy, so Amy didn't remember Jake. Now that she remembered, she didn't know why that day after she woke up, Jake suddenly disappeared. It's been a few days since he has heard from her and hasn't come down the mountain to look for her. This is very strange. She only slept once, but when she woke up, everything had changed completely. Her father suddenly died, and Jake disappeared without a trace, leaving no goodbyes. She once asked her mother about her father, asking her why did her father die? But mom just cried and didn't answer. Not being able to ask from mom means this will gradually fade into oblivion. This incident is an inexplicable mystery. As for Jake, he broke his promise. After she woke up he was gone, until now he has never visited her as he promised. One day, she decided to go to the forest to find Jake and visit everyone. people in the palace. The last time Jake took her home, she remembered the way. And she is
