Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Sighing, Mu Tongrui sat next to Sweetheart, glanced at her, and said, “Your name is Sweetheart, right?”

The little one frowned and stared at her, “Did the principal tell you?”

“You are so cute and your name is so nice, why do you fight with other kids?”

Sweetheart folded her little arms across her chest, and said, “Humph! They all said that I am a liar! I didn't lie! They don't want to play with me, but I also don't want to play with them!”

The little one turned her fair, tender face to the side, while Mu Tongrui found her arrogant look amusing. “I believe that you didn't lie, but it's wrong for you to hit others.”

The little one pouted hard, but she didn't say anything. Mu Tongrui continued to say softly, “You alone will definitely not be able to fight so many children. Next time, if they say you are a liar again, you can tell me, and I will help you to explain to them, okay?”

Sweetheart turned around, and stared at her intently with her big dark eyes. “Who are you and why are you helping me?”

“My name is Mu Tongrui, um... you may need to call me Miss Mu in the future. So, can you tell me now, what the kids accuse you of lying about?”

Mentioning this, the little one sighed, and said sadly, “Hong and the others all said that I don't have a mom and dad, but I have a mom and dad, and they just never saw them!”

“Oh... I see. Who sends you to and from the school usually?”

“My grandpa.”

Mu Tongrui looked at the little girl in front of her, and suddenly remembered the child she gave birth to three years ago for surrogacy. If that child is still healthy, it should be about the same age as Sweetheart.

“What about your parents?”

“Dad said he wanted to work to earn money and bring me to the zoo to see the big lion and the big tiger.”

Oh, so her father is busy with work and has no time for her.

Mu Tongrui couldn't help asking again, “What about your mother?”

As soon as she mentioned her mother, the little one’s two big bright eyes immediately turned red, and she said with her cheeks puffing out, “Dad said that my mom is on Mars. Mars is too hot, and I'm too small to go and see mom.”

Mu Tongrui frowned. Could it be that the parents of this little girl had divorced and separated when she was born?

She has no mother at such a young age, while her father is too busy at work and has no time to accompany her. What a poor little thing.

Mu Tongrui took out a fruit candy from her bag and handed it to her. “You won't be sad if you eat candy when you miss your mom.”

The little one looked at the candy and hesitated. “Dad said that I can't eat things given by strangers, especially from aunts whom I don't know!”

This little one is pretty defensive!

Mu Tongrui took out another piece of fruit candy, and put it into her mouth. “I will eat the candy with you, okay?”

Sweetheart licked her lips, staring at the fruit candy. Mu Tongrui chuckled, opened the candy wrapper, and placed it into her mouth. “Just eat. It's not poisonous.”

As soon as the fruit candy was inside her mouth, the sweet and sour taste made the little one squinted her eyes happily.

Mu Tongrui raised her hand and touched the little one's head. “Is it delicious?”

“It's delicious.” Sweetheart finally grinned, raised her cute face, and asked her, “Can I call you Mu'mu from now on?”

“Yes. Can you also promise me that you won't fight with the kids anymore?”
