Madam Xiao lost her voice in distress, desperately trying to keep him, "Ah Yuan!" She chased after him, attempting to grab Xia Jinyuan once again.
Having only walked a few steps, Xia Jinyuan seemed to remember something. He stopped and turned to look at Madam Xiao, making her face light up with joy as she caught up, "Ah Yuan."
The halted Xia Jinyuan's lips curled into a slight smile, "Madam Xiao must think I am heartless, right? Once, Madam Xiao was just as heartless."
"You shouldn't have forgotten how I chased after you the day you left. And you, to get rid of me more quickly, even threw stones at me."
The joy on her face "whooshed" away, leaving Madam Xiao with a look of terror. Xia Jinyuan found it even more amusing; apparently, Madam Xiao really had forgotten.
No, that's not right.
She hadn't forgotten.
She thought he had. Perhaps, she assumed he was too young back then and wouldn't remember anything, not knowing what happened on the day she left.
