This conversation made me suddenly feel that Anxing Comics Studio was like our own home, something we couldn't just let go of.
Perhaps it was because the two of us had lived together for a long time, or maybe it was because I had always aimed to be like Xiao Minxing. At that moment, I held his hand and said, "Then let's have Bai Xiaoqing manage things for a while. After we attend Mina's wedding, I'll come back and take over here. Similar things won't happen again."
Xiao Minxing didn't say anything but tightened his grip on my hand.
After he dropped me off at the studio, he returned to the company. In the evening after work, I took a car with Ye Guang to find him.
Ye Guang didn't seem to have much of a reaction to me taking him somewhere else; he didn't even ask why I wasn't taking him home. He pressed his face against the car window, staring for a long time at the bustling streets outside and the people continuously moving away from the car.
When we arrived at Xiao Minxing's company, he finally looked up at the building ahead and murmured, "Qiu Yuhan, are we eating here?"
Thinking about the grievances he suffered with the fake nanny made me feel particularly guilty. Hearing this, I quickly asked him, "Are you hungry? Should we go eat first?"
Ye Guang neither shook his head nor nodded, leaving me unsure of what he meant.
A few minutes passed without any sign of movement from him, so I spoke up, "Brother Xiao works here. If you're not hungry, we can go find him first and then head home to eat later. If you're really hungry now, I'll accompany you to eat first."
This time Ye Guang still didn't say anything but took a step toward the company.
Once we were in the Elevator, I noticed he actually had a slight smile on his face. Although it was a bit puzzling, I realized I hadn't seen him smile in a long time. Or perhaps I hadn't observed him closely enough lately to remember when he last smiled. Seeing him slightly pull up the corners of his mouth like a child, staring at his reflection in the Elevator and laughing, made me somewhat dazed.
If others could treat him sincerely, he should be able to become a really good big boy too.
Xiao Minxing's office was as busy as ever, but also orderly.
In order not to disturb his work, Ye Guang and I went to the nearby lounge to wait.
I brought him a glass of juice while I made myself a cup of coffee.
Ye Guang's gaze fixated on the coffee cup, and I wondered if he had discovered some inspiration that I couldn't grasp, so I quietly asked, "What's wrong?"
He looked up at me, his eyes earnest: "Qiu Yuhan, can I drink coffee?"
I was taken aback for a moment before processing his words. However, coffee has a stimulating effect on the brain, so I hesitated to let him have any. I shook my head and said, "This stuff is a bit bitter; maybe you shouldn't drink it? Just stick to juice."
Then he lowered his eyelids, even pouting his lips.
If I couldn't even coax Xiao Zhe, how could I handle such a big child? In fact, I still didn't know what he liked about me; it seemed like I had never intentionally tried to please him.
"How about this? I won't drink it either; this stuff is really bitter and not good for the brain."
I said to Ye Guang, but seeing that he still didn't react, I simply stood up and poured the coffee out.
When I returned, I found him staring at me in a daze.
"What's wrong?" I lifted the glass of juice I had brought over and said, "Look, I'm drinking this now too."
Unexpectedly, he asked, "Qiu Yuhan, am I useless?"
Hearing this, I was so startled that I almost dropped my cup.
If it were a normal person saying such a thing, it wouldn't be surprising at all. But who is Ye Guang? In my impression, he had never said a complete sentence, except for calling my name. Now he was actually questioning his own worth?
Words are an expression of people's thoughts. The fact that he could ask such a question indicated that he must have thought about it, something I had never considered. So I stared at him for a while, unable to respond.
He lowered his head again, slowly sipping the juice from his cup, no longer looking at me or speaking.
I exerted a lot of effort to steady my surprised emotions and tried to chat with him as if he were a normal person: "No, who says you're useless? Look, Brother Xiao isn't here now; aren't you keeping me company on his behalf?"
This time, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved up again. Even his voice carried a hint of excitement as he said, "Hmm, I like it."
Well, I almost choked on the juice I was drinking again.
I didn't know if my guidance was right, but seeing him happy should be a good thing. I certainly couldn't convey the idea that he was useless and that everyone avoided him like the plague.
In fact, I really couldn't think of what use he had for me.
Xiao Minxing finished work around nine o'clock in the evening. In between, Ye Guang and I each had two cups of juice and even snuck some snacks that his assistant had hidden.
Hiding in the lounge, we ate while watching the entrance.
I whispered, "These are hidden by someone else; let's just eat a little bit, okay?"
Ye Guang looked at me and smiled.
I also feel that this time is like being with a child; I took a piece and gave it to him, then had a bite myself.
Then the two of us leaned on the table, chatting about the taste of the snack.
Of course, I did most of the talking, while he mostly responded with single-syllable words like "mm," "good," and "ah."
It was already quite good. When I truly interacted with him, I didn't find him difficult. It seemed that aside from not being able to communicate and act like a normal person, he wouldn't cause trouble. Just like now, he sat patiently with me, even though I knew he might have been hungry for a while. He didn't say a word and waited patiently for Xiao Minxing to finish work.
So during dinner, I asked Xiao Minxing if we could let him do some tasks.
He looked at Ye Guang for a moment before asking, "Do you want to work?"
Surprisingly, Good Fellow nodded.
"Let me think about it and see what he can do. I'm not worried about the future; it's just that initially, we need someone very patient to guide him, like Longwen," Xiao Minxing said.
We couldn't find such a person; not even I could manage it. I couldn't communicate with Ye Guang at all and couldn't guess what was on his mind.
But Longwen is about to get married. Not only will he likely not come back after marriage, but even if he does return, by then he will be living with Mina as husband and wife. They probably won't be able to take care of him like before.
Fortunately, this matter isn't too urgent. According to Xiao Minxing, we will arrange things for him after we return from Hong Kong. In the meantime, Ye Guang will stay at our home.
