ATBWSTBP Chapter 96
by VolareChapter 96: Past Memories
Through the glass, Jin Baiyan’s gaze fell on Jin Mo.
Without blinking, as he watched, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned upwards, and his heart slowly warmed.
That sense of satisfaction was like standing on a cloud, light and airy.
He picked up the teapot he had prepared and walked out of the cubicle, meeting Jin Mo’s gaze as he sat down on the bamboo chair.
“Are you silly?” He reached out and tapped Jin Mo, who was staring at him blankly, letting out a low laugh.
Jin Mo leaned on the table and nodded, his hand involuntarily pressing against his chest.
Jin Baiyan was startled, his expression changing drastically, “Chest pain?”
Jin Mo shook his head, “No, I just feel like it’s beating a little abnormally.”
Jin Baiyan quickly stood up, walked to Jin Mo’s side, and picked him up.
The two men’s weight was supported by one bamboo chair.
Jin Mo nestled in Jin Baiyan’s arms, smiling like a flower.
Jin Baiyan’s face was tense as he gently rubbed Jin Mo’s chest with his hand.
He secretly blamed himself, as he had been unable to restrain himself these past two days, not only keeping himself in a state of excitement but also putting Jin Mo in a state of agitation and excitement.
He had no memories, but subconsciously, a voice reminded him not to let Jin Mo get too excited!
“I’m fine!” Seeing Jin Baiyan’s face turn serious, Jin Mo immediately reached out and rubbed his face incessantly, “My heart is strong!”
After saying that, he patted twice the back of Jin Baiyan’s hand that was placed on his chest.
Jin Baiyan’s eyes were fixed on Jin Mo, and only when he saw that his complexion was good did he relax.
Jin Mo leaned in, wanting to kiss Jin Baiyan.
Jin Baiyan tilted his head, avoiding Jin Mo’s lips.
Jin Mo pouted, only two days in, and he was already being disliked! He pouted and glared at Jin Baiyan, his face filled with shock and sadness.
Jin Baiyan smiled and gently touched Jin Mo’s face with his hand.
How could he not want to accept the kiss Jin Mo offered!
“Your heart needs rest!” Jin Baiyan lowered his head, rubbing the tip of his nose against Jin Mo’s face.
Jin Mo “hmph”-ed and squeezed Jin Baiyan’s nose with force, as if settling a personal score.
Jin Baiyan allowed him to do as he pleased, a low laugh escaping his lips, his face filled with a smile.
Jin Mo hugged Jin Baiyan’s neck and buried his face in his shoulder.
Jin Baiyan held Jin Mo, leaning his head against the back of the chair, his eyes slightly closed, and his hand continued to gently caress Jin Mo’s chest.
The morning sun, carrying the scent of mountain vegetation, shone through the gaps in the leaves, scattering mottled shadows on the two men.
Jin Mo leaned in Jin Baiyan’s arms, his face buried in his neck, smelling the unique, cold fragrance that belonged only to Jin Baiyan, listening to Jin Baiyan’s powerful heartbeat, feeling Jin Baiyan’s warm body temperature…
Before long, he became drowsy.
From childhood to adulthood, he had always been more sleepy than others!
Especially when he was by Jin Baiyan’s side, he slept even better.
Jin Baiyan heard Jin Mo’s breathing gradually stabilize, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He had fallen asleep again!
He lowered his head slightly, only able to see Jin Mo’s fluffy head resting in his arms.
He lowered his head and kissed it.
Unexpectedly, the dream he had forgotten last night surfaced in his mind.
In the dream, he was still a little kid!
Sitting on a small, rickety tricycle that “clanked, clanked”!
His butt spent very little time on the seat, mostly suspended in mid-air.
His body was swaying from side to side, never sitting up straight!
Fortunately, there was a canopy! Otherwise, he would have rolled out long ago.
Outside the transparent plastic partition, sat an old man with snow-white hair, strands flying wildly, full of energy.
His maternal grandfather!
The thought suddenly popped into Jin Mo’s mind!
The old man drove the rickety tricycle, bouncing along the country road, singing loudly!
What he sang was not important; the point was to sing with passion!
Jin Baiyan’s small body contained the thoughts of a twenty-eight-year-old, enduring the suffering of the bumpy ride.
He wanted to open his mouth and shout, asking if he could drive slower, as his grandson was about to fall apart, but alas, his little mouth was out of his control.
Just when he was really about to fall apart, the rickety tricycle stopped.
The old man got out of the car, opened the door, and leaned in, his mouth opening and closing.
Jin Baiyan didn’t hear a single word!
After the old man finished speaking, he closed the door and left.
Jin Baiyan took a long time to piece himself back together, sat up straight, and rested his little head on the backrest, the dizziness from going up and down, left and right, had not subsided.
Time passed, and his brain gradually stabilized.
Where did the old man go?
His head started to peek out!
His body was too small to see, so he climbed onto the seat.
Seeing the crops all over the ground and the terraced fields next to him, he understood that the old man had brought him to the fields to work.
Jin Baiyan looked at himself.
His small body looked like he was only two or three years old!
He knew he was dreaming!
But he didn’t want to wake up!
It was a bit stuffy in the tricycle, so he pushed the door open, and a gentle breeze blew in, very comfortable.
Lying on the seat, the small body and the big thoughts were in harmony.
Until the sound of “giggling” infant laughter came from beside the car door.
Jin Baiyan’s big thoughts were startled first, and he turned his eyes to see a dirty child.
His head was covered with green leaves, his face was so dirty that he couldn’t see what he looked like, and his clothes were even more covered in mud…
Those big, bright, black eyes, like black grapes, were especially brilliant at this moment.
The little fellow was “giggling” and laughing, trying hard to stretch his little hand out of his sleeve and climb onto the rickety tricycle.
He had no idea how embarrassed or dirty he was at this moment!
Seeing little Jin Baiyan, he seemed to see a new toy, grinning at him.
Little Jin Baiyan stared at the little dirty baby who had suddenly appeared in front of him!
The little dirty baby laughed even more happily, his laughter louder, his eyes brighter, and his little hands waving more enthusiastically…
Little Jin Baiyan twisted his little body, climbed down from the seat, pulled the door to the very edge, raised his hand, and picked up the little baby, not caring how dirty he was.
The little fellow was also unaware.
His little hands grabbed at little Jin Baiyan, and his little dirty face went straight to little Jin Baiyan’s face.
Before long, the clean little Jin Baiyan also became half a mud man.
His face and body were also covered in dirt!
One big and one small, the two little ones looked at each other and laughed together.
The little fellow couldn’t speak yet, only making “Baaaaa” sounds.
Little Jin Baiyan couldn’t speak either, following the little fellow and making “Baaaaa” sounds.
Jin Baiyan knew that it was a dream, but it wasn’t a dream!
What Jin Mother had said before leaving had made the memories buried in his subconscious appear in the form of a dream!
He dreamed of the scene when he and Little Mo first met.
At this moment, thinking of the scene in the dream, he understood that Little Mo should not have been an abandoned child.
That place was a terraced field.
Above the terraced field was a road!
He guessed that Jin Mo must have fallen from a car into the terraced field, and then rolled all the way down.
In that season, the terraced fields were planted with wheat, the seedlings were only a foot high, soft and not prickly, and the fields were still a bit damp.
Therefore, after Jin Mo rolled down, he was only covered in mud, but he was not injured.
Jin Baiyan lowered his head, looking at the little fellow in his arms who was sleeping soundly, snoring softly, and couldn’t help but laugh.
This fellow was so mischievous when he was little, he just rolled into his side!
Treating himself as a gift from heaven, giving himself to him!
Since he had delivered himself over, then he should just stay by his side forever!
Jin Baiyan couldn’t help but tighten his arms, holding the fellow who had delivered himself to his door tightly.
“Jin Baiyan!” The sleeping Jin Mo muttered.
Jin Baiyan lowered his head and gently “hmm”-ed in Jin Mo’s ear.
Hearing Jin Baiyan’s response, Jin Mo burrowed into his arms and continued to sleep soundly!
Jin Baiyan’s chest rose and fell a few times, the smile on the corner of his mouth brighter than the sunshine in the courtyard.
