Chapter 8 Growing Closer
She had gotten used to me calling her "Baby."
If one day I didn't call her that, she would secretly sulk.
Last week, she went on a business trip out of town and brought me a gift upon return, having Chen Ma deliver it.
And sent me a meaningful message.
"This is my first time buying a gift for a girl. You... can you understand......?"
Seeing her say that, tears instantly filled my eyes. "I understand. Of course I understand."
Waaah.
How could I not understand?
I understood right away.
I guessed her meaning was that she didn't have any friends before.
In the evening.
My adoptive parents specially came to talk to me.
Mom gently held my hand, her tone kind. "Lin Duo, how have you been getting along with Jian Xi these days?"
I waved my hand grandly and patted my chest to guarantee.
"Mom, don't worry. Jian Xi and I are so close we're practically wearing the same pants."
"When she comes back, the two of us can even sleep under the same blanket."
Dad, who was quietly waiting on the side, couldn't hold back a sip of water. "Pfft cough cough cough......"
Mom glared at Dad, then showed an auntie smile.
"Good, good. As long as you two get along well, Dad and Mom can rest easy."
"But no need to rush. Lin Duo, we still have to follow the proper procedures. Dad and Mom will never let you suffer any loss."
Their biological daughter was coming back, but the couple still treated me, their adopted daughter, as well as always.
I was so touched by them. "Dad, Mom, thank you."
