Perhaps… if grandmother wouldn't have left so soon, she wouldn't have left with many regrets .
She just couldn't get grandmother's last words out of her mind .
While she was mulling over this, little Huanhuan had already run to the staircase .
She pointed to the second floor and said in a sweet and innocent tone, "Sister Xuxu, can I go upstairs?"
At the age of three, her pronunciation was unclear and hearing her lispy pronunciation would melt one's heart .
"Of course you can . " Xuxu nodded her head with a smile and took a step towards her .
The doctor advised that Huanhuan could only take bland food . Since she won't be returning to the office in the afternoon, Xuxu went to the supermarket to buy some groceries .

Yan Rusheng came home and heard voices of adults and children coming from the kitchen . He changed into his slippers and walked with quiet steps to the dining room entrance .
In the kitchen, Xuxu was wearing a floral print apron and julienning the carrots in front of the stove .
After taking Huanhuan home, Xuxu gave her a sponge bath and changed her into a set of clean clothes . Xuxu then had her naturally curled hair tied up into two braids .
The child was already in good spirits as she was no longer running a fever, and added to that, the red blisters on her body started to heal .
Xuxu brought her a stool and let her sit by her side .
Looking at the shredded carrot, the little girl pouted her lips, "I don't like to eat carrots . "
Hearing this, Xuxu took out a stalk of vegetable from the basin and teased her, "Then just have green vegetables . "
She knew that most children didn't fancy greens and carrots .

As expected, Huanhuan knitted her eyebrows . With pouted lips, she shook her head . "Huanhuan don't like to eat green vegetables either . "
Xuxu said firmly, "Green vegetables and carrots are nutritious . You cannot be picky about food . "
"Huanhuan likes to eat Kentucky fried chicken . " After saying this, the little girl turned to Xuxu with a look of anticipation .
She was so full of wits . After beating around the bush, all she wanted was to request for Kentucky Fried Chicken .
Xuxu smiled in response . "Those are junk food . "
"But the television commercial said that it's delicious . " Huanhuan's lips sank and she whispered, "Huanhuan had never eaten before . "
She lowered her head and her legs dangled restlessly from the chair .
She looked so pitiful in her petite frame, and oh how Xuxu wished that she could bring her to savor the fried chicken immediately .
There were not so many outdoor activities for the kids at the orphanage and were mostly limited to weeding the grass at nearby farmlands . Visiting the town or city for Kentucky Fried Chicken was seemingly impossible .
With so many children, it was also impractical to order takeaways and add it to their everyday diet .
Even though Kentucky Fried Chicken was junk food, which child in the city hasn't eaten it before?
Xuxu stopped working on her chores and patted Huanhuan on her head . "If you behave, I'll bring you to eat after you've fully recovered . "
"Great . That's great . " Huanhuan clapped her hands ecstatically .
Her puerile laughter infected the entire house . Yan Rusheng, who was standing at the door also curled his lips subconsciously .
This little thing—she's just so promising that even junk food could bring her so much joy .
He leaned lazily against the wall of the kitchen entrance and looked at the adult and the child . He couldn't bear to lift his eyes off them .
"Third Young Master, why are you standing here?"
All of a sudden, Aunt Zhang walked over .
There was a long pause…
Yan Rusheng stared at Aunt Zhang with a look of annoyance . Why must this old lady always appear at the wrong time and kill the beautiful scene?
Standing there without uttering a word, it was obvious that he was snooping around .
She was definitely getting on in years and lacking the ability to make discerning judgments .
"Brother-in-law is back . "
Aunt Zhang's voice was deafening and startled both of Xuxu and Huanhuan in the kitchen .
