You Are My Starlight - Chapter 7: Take Responsibility

It’s over just like this?

Although the process was a bit strange, it was good that it was over.

Su Mianmian heaved a sigh of relief. After she walked out of the room, she was surprised to see a lamb at the door.

Hey, isn’t this the little lamb that she just fed?

“Baa…”

The lamb licked Su Mianmian’s calf again fawningly.

Su Mianmian squatted down and was about to carry the lamb up when she heard a soft and cute voice of a young boy.

“Don’t move! Hold your hands up! Let go of Little Fire!”

Erm… how am I supposed to hold my hands up if I don’t move?

Su Mianmian turned and looked over, only to see a child about four or five years old shouting ten meters away from her.

“Little Fire, don’t be afraid! Come over! I’m here to protect you!”

“Baa…” The lamb shook its little tail excitedly.

……

The young boy had a bowl cut, wore a little black suit, and had a red bow around his neck. He had big eyes and a chubby face, and his facial features looked a little mixed-blood.

He looked so cute that people wanted to pinch his chubby face.

Seeing the lamb had no reaction, the young boy stamped his foot anxiously and said loudly, “Why are you ignoring me Little Fire? Don’t you love me anymore? Or were you poisoned by a baddie?”

“…” The baddie Su Mianmian was speechless.

“Baa…” The little lamb turned its head sideways and acted cute innocently, looking out of the loop.

“Little Fire, what did I tell you before we came out? You have to follow me all the time. The world outside is very cruel. An ignorant girl like you could be abducted anytime. You could have been cut into pieces of mutton for hot pot when I see you again!”

“Baa…” the lamb bleated while turning its head sideways.

“…” Su Mianmian really couldn’t listen on. She bent over and carried the lamb.

“What do you want?” The young boy stared at Su Mianmian as she walked over.

“Enough of your nonsense. Just say if you want to take it back.” Su Mianmian handed the lamb to the young boy.

“Baa…” the lamb licked its little owner’s face fondly.

The young boy said with a serious expression, “I was just training Little Fire’s crisis awareness.”

Su Mianmian smiled and asked, “What’s your name?”

The young boy said cockily, “Before you ask someone for his name, you should first state yours.”

His chubby face was round and chubby when he spoke, and Su Mianmian couldn’t help but stretch out her hand to pinch.

As expected, it was soft and nice to pinch.

It might have been the first time the boy was being pinched in the face. He blinked and stared at Su Mianmian with a shocked expression and his mouth slightly open.

He is so cute.

Su Mianmian couldn’t help but rub his hair, messing it up.

A few strands of hair stood above the young boy’s forehead, and he looked even cuter.

“Is this your lamb? Its name is Little Fire?” Su Mianmian asked with a smile.

“How can you get fresh with me?” the little boy took two steps back after he came to a realization and said, “My father said that a man’s face cannot be touched!”

“Hah…” Su Mianmian laughed and stretched out her hand to rub his head again. She said, “How old are you? Why do you talk so well?”

“My name is Dongdong. I am four and a half years old.” Dongdong blinked and said very seriously. “My father said that a man’s face can’t be touched by just anyone. You just touched my face. Don’t you have to take responsibility?”

Take responsibility?!

Isn’t this too exaggerated?

Su Mianmian cleared her throat and said, “Dongdong, I was just playing with you.”

Dongdong shrugged and said like an elderly, “I really can’t stand you adults. Don’t get fresh with me before you think properly. What if I get serious? Are you gonna marry me?”

Is there something wrong with such upbringing?

“…” Su Mianmian reached out to rub his head and said, “I’m sorry. I can’t marry you.”

Dongdong pouted and said unhappily, “Then why did you take liberties with me?”

“Ahem, why are you here alone? Where’s your mother?” Su Mianmian asked, changing the topic.

“Are adults all like this? Changing the topic when you don’t want to answer a question.” Dongsong stared at Su Mianmian for a while and then said, “Forget it, as a gentleman, I will go along with your wish and not ask you anymore.”

“I thank you then.”

“But, what happened to your face?”

Su Mianmian touched her face and said a little unnaturally, “I accidentally hit the wall this morning.”

Dongdong rolled his eyes and said, “You can get a handprint by hitting the wall?”

Su Mianmian smiled awkwardly and said, “You know too much. A child wouldn’t be likeable if he’s too smart.”

After a moment of silence, Dongdong crunched his chubby face and said, “Alright, I’ll pretend to believe you then. Oh, leave me your number. I will take Little Fire to look for you next time.”

Su Mianmian shook her head, “I don’t have a mobile phone.”

“So you’re a poor person.”

“…” she was indeed quite poor.

Dongdong generously handed his mobile phone to Su Mianmian and said, “I’ll give you one. I have many iPhones at home anyway.”

Su Mianmian looked blankly at the iPhone 6 for a while before returning it.

“No, it’s okay.” She couldn’t accept such an expensive item.

“How can I look for you if you don’t take it?” Dongdong pouted, looking a little being put on the spot.

Su Mianmian pondered for a moment, took out a card from her bag and passed it to Dongdong as she said, “I work here from four o’clock every day. You can find me here.”

“Hey, I’ve eaten the cake from this shop.” Dongdong said excitedly.

“Really? When did you come?”

“My father bought it back. The design of the cake is the same as this.” Dongdong rubbed the brand on the business card.

“I’ll treat you to a cake when you come.” Su Mianmian couldn’t explain it, but it could be because Dongdong was very cute, hence she hit it off well with him.

“Baa…” the little lamb wagged its tail joyfully.

“Little Fire wants to eat too.” Dongdong said happily.

Su Mianmian nodded. When she wanted to touch the lamb, the bodyguard who had been standing next to her spoke.

“Miss Su, please go out with me.”

Su Mianmian only realized then that he had been standing there all along.

“Oh, okay.” Su Mianmian withdrew her hand.

“Byebye, sister. I’ll look for you next time.” Dongdong said.

“Goodbye.” After Su Mianmian followed the bodyguard out, she did not realize that Dongdong turned and ran into the room that they had just sat in.

“You don’t have to choose anymore. I like Miemie, that one!”
