CHAPTER 626: CHAPTER 543: DEEPLY TOUCHED

Maybe it’s because I’ve experienced a lot and seen more of the world.

Now, when looking at people, it’s not as superficial as it used to be. Back then, maybe they just pitied her, felt sorry for her.

Otherwise, why did her family’s address in North City remain unchanged for so many years in her past life, and she never had the chance to meet them?

It’s because they weren’t from the same social class; without her current status in this life, even if they met, it would have been just a simple exchange of pleasantries.

So, people are really realistic!

After dinner, Li Si parted ways with them, got into the car, Jiang Tong drove steadily, and she looked at the scenery outside the window with a self-mocking shake of her head.

She was still too naive!

Always thinking about how things were in childhood. To give a simple example, the things she thought were delicious as a child, when she has the chance to eat them now, they don’t seem as tasty as they were in her memory.

Just like her and them now!

The people she thought were good as a child and missed dearly, when truly meeting them, it might not be the same feeling as originally.

They say meeting is not as good as reminiscing!

Things you miss are always beautiful in memory.

When facing them, you find many differences and changes!

This is a normal thing!

After sorting out her emotions, Li Si smiled generously. Talking about meeting them fulfilled a wish; otherwise, she’d always mention it to Leng Mochen, to Leng Ning, those people in her memory had long gone, why be obsessed!

When she got home, Leng Mochen hadn’t returned yet. Sister Ding was accompanying her, and Buding was energetically playing with Xiao Guai on the crawling mat.

Xiao Guai mischievously used a small duck toy to tease Buding, only to see Buding anxiously crawling forward slowly, and just as he got close to the duck, Xiao Guai swiftly changed its position.

Seeing Li Si return, Xiao Guai quickly got up, fawning over and approaching Li Si, with a grin showing its teeth!

It was even howling, as if claiming credit from her!

It seemed like it was expressing how hard it was taking care of Buding.

Buding no longer cared about grabbing the small duck, but sat up and stretched his arms towards Li Si, indicating he wanted a hug.

Li Si purposely teased him, not going over to him on her own, making him crawl over himself.

"Buding! You crawl over, and mom will hug you! Be brave, mom’s waiting for you here!"

"Ma-ma... ma-ma!" Buding crawled towards Li Si, subconsciously calling for mom.

This excited Li Si immensely, she dashed over in a leap and picked the child up from the crawling mat!

"My gosh! Big baby! Say it again! You called mom just now, right? Haha! Mom is so happy!"

Li Si was almost incoherent; the moment she heard the child call her ’mom’, her heart melted.

She happily kept kissing Buding’s face, as if the whole world was left with only the giggling Buding and herself.

She felt like she could hear the sound of flowers blooming!

What a kind of emotion it was, a little one connected by blood calling her mom!

Although not clear, his voice was so melodious! So touching! Really so touching!

Sister Ding was also overjoyed, "This child is so smart!"

Li Si pressed her forehead against Buding’s, "Baby! Call again for mom to hear! Mom!"

Buding, perhaps not understanding what mom was saying, curiously grabbed Li Si’s ear.

But he didn’t say anything again for quite a while.

Li Si’s mood gradually calmed down, "Little rascal! Mom wants to hear you say it again, what should I do?"

Sister Ding laughed and said, "Madam, he unconsciously said it just now, he’ll definitely say it again! Buding is really smart, and also healthy. I’ve taken care of many children, this is the first time I’ve seen such a sturdy little baby!"

"Sister Ding! When do you think he’ll be able to talk? I heard him call me mom earlier, I was so anxious! Wishing he could talk soon so I can know what he’s thinking!"

"Generally, many children can say a lot around one year old, but some speak early, and some later. Judging by Buding’s progress today, he should speak early!"

Xiao Guai felt a bit neglected at the side, it grumbled, thumping its chest, seeing Li Si only chat away.

Frustrated, it paced back and forth, scratching its head, thinking maybe it needed to imitate the little baby’s actions to make its owner happy?

At that moment, Leng Mochen returned home; as soon as he changed shoes and walked past the screen, Li Si excitedly went to report to him with Buding in her arms.

"Honey! Buding can call mom now!"

Leng Mochen looked at her skeptically, "Really?"

How old is Buding? Could it be she heard wrong?

Li Si hurriedly asked Sister Ding to testify, "If you don’t believe me, ask Sister Ding. We both heard it! It was very clear! Haha! It proves Buding loves me more, called mom first! As for you as his dad, you’ll have to wait!"

"Yes! Sir! Buding called mom!"

Leng Mochen, excited, took Buding and lifted him up, "Son! Call mom again, so dad can hear!"

Buding widened his bright black eyes and laughed, showing his gap-toothed smile, but just didn’t call.

"Son! Call mom! Mom will give you a toy to play with!" Li Si planned to entice him.

Buding curiously watched his parents, listened to what they were saying, thinking back to what he had murmured that made them so excited.

"Hurry and call! Mom! Mom!"

Buding yawned, "Ma-ma! Ma-ma!"

"Haha! Look at that! Didn’t he call it!" Li Si cheered loudly.

Leng Mochen was equally overjoyed, though he wasn’t usually an outwardly expressive person, hearing his son call for mom made his heart race with excitement.

"Truly dad’s good son! When can you call dad! Dad will give you a reward too!"

He lifted the child to sit on his neck, letting him ride like horseback riding.

This made Buding laugh with joy, the little guy was bold, sitting stably and grabbing his dad’s hair on both sides while grinning nonstop.

True to her word, Li Si took some toys out of the playroom for the child after playing for a while.

Having been too excited both times, she had forgotten to capture these happy moments on camera, so she fetched the camcorder.

Buding’s laughter never ceased, while Xiao Guai, scratching its ears and neck, also tried to make sounds with its mouth, "Woo woo... woo woo... awo awo..."

However, due to unsuccessful mimicry of the syllable, it grew increasingly anxious from its failed attempts.

Noticing Xiao Guai’s frustration, Li Si while filming let Sister Ding give it some treats as a reward. Xiao Guai, munching on the tasty treats, became determined to learn to make that sound!

With Leng Mochen and Li Si exerting all their efforts, Buding finally gave face by calling out a few more ’ma-ma’s!

Li Si captured this beautiful moment on camera!

In the future, she could revisit Buding’s first call to mom whenever free!

Buding played to the point of exhaustion and slept early today.

After Leng Mochen showered and emerged, while drying his hair, he still held out hope and said, "I wonder when our son will be able to call dad!" (To be continued.
