"I'm hungry....but I want to eat brother JiaJia's home cooking...."
WenWen said. He leaned his head against XiangXiang. His enthusiasm had already disappeared somewhere. Xiangxiang nodded. His eyes looked blank and his face was expressionless.
"Haaaa...."
They sighed synchronously. Instantly lifeless. YuanYuan shook his head. He went inside and sat next to LinLin who was leaning on Yaya.
"Not bickering today?"
YuanYuan asked LinLin and Yaya. He smiled. LinLin and Yaya looked at him with their sharp gazes. But neither of them had any desire to fight. YuanYuan continued to smile. "So...you two can also make peace if you want."
"If you two behave like this in front of brother JiaJia and brother XinXin, they must be happy."
YuanYuan continued to add fuel to LinLin and Yaya's burning hearts. But Yaya and LinLin were too lazy to argue at that time. It felt like they weren't even eager to lift a finger.
"Haaa...."
LinLin rested his head on Yaya's chest. YuanYuan smiled. It seemed that both of his roommates had really lost their fangs and had become good kids instead. No idea what would happen if they found out about their senior's return.
"Are your legs okay?"
YuanYuan asked XiangXiang who injured his leg during yesterday's training. XiangXiang nodded. "Haaa...without brother JiaJia and brother XinXin, everyone is hopeless...."
"WenWen...can you take my cup outside? I forgot to bring it in"
Ask YuanYuan.
"Why me?"
WenWen asked. He didn't want to leave XiangXiang who still had a sore leg. For the first time, YuanYuan glared at WenWen.
"Okay..."
WenWen said. Even though they were the same age, YuanYuan was still older than him. He also knew that YuanYuan was more mature and stronger than him. And he also couldn't deny that YuanYuan was also the most considerate person among the five of them. WenWen really respected that side of YuanYuan.
WenWen walked lifelessly to the door. He opened the door.
"Surprise!!!!"
Shout JiaJia and XinXin.
Pam!
WenWen quickly closed the door. He was stunned for a moment. He turned around. Looking at the faces of his other friends, he asked for answers to his uncertain questions.
"Is that for real? You see what I see, right?"
He still couldn't believe his eyes. He was afraid that the hunger he had endured had taken him to heaven and God had sent angels in the form of his two seniors to accompany him in life after death.
YuanYuan quickly nodded. He was more surprised by WenWen's actions than anyone else who was surprised by the appearance of JiaJia and XinXin.
Hesitantly, WenWen opened the door again and as quickly as possible XinXin entered and his hand tightly gripped WenWen's shoulder. Afraid that the door would hit JiaJia in the face again.
"We've only been gone for a week and you've already forgotten about us. You also slammed the door right in front of us. You looked at JiaJia's nose. Luckily it wasn't broken."
XinXin said angrily while pointing at JiaJia who was rubbing his nose.
"Arghhhhh!!!"
Yaya screamed in shock. His high pitched voice really pierced everyone's ears. He ran to hug JiaJia and XinXin. He ignored WenWen who was still in XinXin's arms. LinLin also did the same. They both clung to JiaJia and XinXin. They bawling like kids. But there was no guilt at all after you slammed the door right in JiaJia's face.
"Okay...guys. That's enough. We're back already. "
XinXin said. He almost cried too. Touched by the actions of his juniors. And he started to forget the tragedy that happened to JiaJia just now.
JiaJia stared at XiangXiang who was just sitting on the sofa with his eyes fixed on him and XinXin. No words came out of his mouth. No tears flowed from his sad eyes either. He just sat there silently.
JiaJia pushed Yaya and LinLin away who were still bawling in his arms. "These kids..."
"Okay...now be good and let me go. I need to rest."
JiaJia walked to XiangXiang after being freed from LinLin and Yaya's embrace.
"No hugs for your brother?"
JiaJia asked. XiangXiang turned his head to the other side. "Eh...? He's avoiding me?" Everyone was silent. Never seen XiangXiang act like that. JiaJia knelt in front of XiangXiang.
"What's wrong? Don't you like me and XinXin coming back here?"
Ask JiaJia again.
"Liar..."
XiangXiang muttered.
"Liar?" JiaJia began to be confused. He stared at the others one by one. Everyone just shook their heads. Who could read XiangXiang's princess-like temperament. Even WenWen couldn't read XiangXiang's mind.
"Okay. If our return makes you feel uncomfortable..."
"If you want to come back, just say you'll come back. Why do you have to act like you won't come back? Why do you have to lie and make us miserable? Do you enjoy seeing us like this?"
XiangXiang said. Pouring all his anger into his words. His eyes were right on JiaJia's face. And it's start to glaze. The other kids nodded in agreement.
"I'm sorry..."
JiaJia said. He didn't even think about how this boy felt. The one who lost the person he loved the most. His parents. And also his uncle. He must feel lonely.
JiaJia tried to stroke XiangXiang's hair. But XiangXiang just slapped his hand. He was breathing heavily. His legs hurt as well as his heart.
"Don't pretend you care if you don't. I don't need your...."
Before XiangXiang could finish his hurtful words, JiaJia quickly hugged him. If he let him talk more, there would be more pain. For both of them.
"Forgive me. I promise this is the last time it happens. Can you forgive your brother this time?"
JiaJia asked. His younger brother was indeed sensitive. Yet, he had almost forgotten about that.
"No! You're annoying"
XiangXiang said. But his arms hugged his brother tightly. JiaJia smiled. So did XinXin and the others. And for the first time, WenWen let JiaJia hug his XiangXiang.
Night came and everyone happily enjoyed their favorite dinner. It had been a week since they had to endure eating YuanYuan's food that tasted like garbage.
XiangXiang was still sulking. He was pouting even while eating dinner. But for JiaJia and XinXin, as long as they were eating, that was enough to make them feel at ease.
WenWen eats like there's no tomorrow. Eats all his food without looking around. He's even choked a few times and then ate again voraciously. He's truly the child every mother in the world dreams of.
"Arghhhh....!!!"
Yaya screamed in satisfaction after waiting so long to eat JiaJia's home cooking. Now he could eat that food forever. JiaJia had promised to continue cooking for them as long as they lived together.
LinLin ate his food with teary eyes. He felt completely safe from YuanYuan's terrible home cooking. Meanwhile, YuanYuan just ate his food like nothing was out of the ordinary. Being the first child will make you mature earlier than others.
JiaJia and XinXin just smiled contentedly. This was a gift from heaven for both of them. If it weren't for Flexx, they wouldn't have found this warm and chaotic family.
