This Childhood Sweetheart is a Little Sweet

Chapter 92

"I'm back, baby. From now on, I'll never leave you alone again."

Jiang Wei gently planted a kiss on Xiao Shi's head, and Xiao Shi seemed to understand, her eyes sparkling with delight.

After bidding farewell to Older Sister Zhou, Jiang Wei brought Xiao Shi back home. Thinking about how the little one hadn't been able to eat or drink well these past few days, Jiang Wei couldn't help but feel sorry, so she naturally paid more attention to taking care of Xiao Shi for the time being.

But a certain jealous little someone wasn't pleased.

If Xiao Shi had bone broth to drink, he wanted some too;

If Xiao Shi had snacks to eat, he snatched them;

Even the few pairs of little socks that Jiang Wei had recently bought for Xiao Shi, that person wouldn't let it go, leaning against the doorframe like a tall poplar tree, grinning at Jiang Wei and saying, "My socks are also worn out, Jiang Xiao Wei, aren't you going to consider giving me a pair too?"

"Where are they worn out?"

Jiang Wei was taken aback at the words. Yi Ming liked cleanliness, and socks were something he changed frequently. If his clothes showed any signs of damage, this guy had probably replaced them with new ones long ago, so how could he still be wearing them?

"Look here."

Yi Ming said, stretching out one foot, and in his Ding Dong the Cat cartoon slippers, a snowy white sock happened to reveal a single toe.

"This hole..."

Jiang Wei rubbed her chin, giving a meaningful click of her tongue twice: "It's a bit too neat, isn't it...?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Ming immediately felt guilty and retracted his foot, his gaze shifting evasively as he laughed: "Just a coincidence, a coincidence."

"If I remember correctly, someone just asked me for scissors earlier, and then someone seemed to have locked themselves in their room, rustling around, doing who knows what..."

Jiang Wei's clear gaze fixed on him, making Yi Ming's handsome fair face turn an unprecedented shade of red.

"No way, you must have remembered wrong."

"I didn't remember wrong, Yi Xiao Ming. Don't you know it's shameful to waste things?"

Jiang Wei gave him a stern look, holding back laughter.

Yi Ming turned to escape, but Jiang Wei took a step forward and grabbed his wrist. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to check if Xiao Shi has eaten enough..."

"No need for you to check. Come here, take off your socks..."

"What are you going to do?"

Yi Ming was taken aback, turning back to face her, wrapping his arms across his chest: "This... doesn't seem right, making a guy strip in broad daylight..."

"Just take off your socks, take off your socks!" Jiang Wei lifted her foot and gently kicked his shin. "Always with the silver tongue. Quick, take them off."

Yi Ming obediently went back into the room and sat on the edge of the bed, taking off the "holey" socks he had just put on.

Jiang Wei took them from him, skillfully retrieving her sewing kit and sitting next to Yi Ming to mend his socks. As she sewed, she gently said to him, "These socks were just bought recently, and you've already cut them up. That's such a waste. I'll mend them for you, and you can wear them again."

Yi Ming nodded, smiling as he gazed at Jiang Wei's profile: "Jiang Xiao Wei, did you know that the way you're mending clothes right now reminds me of my grandmother?"

"Really? Well, I don't mind if you call me Grandma Jiang then."

Jiang Wei laughed, playfully teasing him.

"Sure, Jiang Xiao Wei, looks like you're trying to take advantage of me..."

Yi Ming laughed too, gazing tenderly at Jiang Wei's focused eyes, those beautiful eyes that seemed to have stolen the stars from the night sky. "Jiang Xiao Wei, you're so good to me."

Jiang Wei's hand paused for a moment as she was mending the sock. After a while, she slightly curled the corners of her mouth and slowly replied, "Good? I think it's just average."

"Look at you, everyone says guys' socks stink, but you don't mind mine at all."

Yi Ming chuckled foolishly, thinking the atmosphere was turning pink and romantic, when suddenly Jiang Wei spoke up, "What's the big deal? When you were five, there was this one time you got into an argument with your uncle and stubbornly said you wouldn't go to the bathroom for a day. But then you couldn't hold it in when you were at my place, and your little shorts..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Yi Ming covered his face with a long sigh. "Jiang Xiao Wei, you must have been sent by the heavens to torment me. At this beautiful moment, you bring that up to me..."

Jiang Wei burst into laughter, stopping what she was doing and lifting her head to look at him: "Here you go, all done!"
