At Jingling Airport.
Li Xue came out along with her daughter carrying two luggage, one was bigger while the other was slightly smaller than the first one. She was dressed as if she was ready to showcase the fall airport fashion collection of some famous brand. Her style seemed more suitable for a model.
Though her look wasn’t intentional. It should be blamed on her perfect slim figure and the gorgeous look she has been gifted with.
She has been wearing a plain black solid colored top which was slightly visible under her beige colored over coat. Her soft wavy brown hairs were left open giving her exquisite face a mesmerizing look.
A pair of black skinny fit ankle length jeans that were beautifully complimenting her slender long legs were paired up with white sneakers. With a fine knitted mauve blue muffler wrapped around her neck in a lock, her look was complete to K.O any model’s style sense.
The small girl was also ready to charm every heart around her. With a beautiful headband braid, her fair face was looking more rounder and chubbier. Her eyes were like stars, twinkling looking around the new place she has come to. Her lips never left the adorable smile for which she has been famous for.
She was also dressed in a similar outfit like her mother but the colors were different. Her waist length sleeveless jacket was olive green in color that was accentuating her inner full sleeved black top and black jeans.
This new place was really different to the place she has lived before.
“Mama, this city is different from our home city. Everything looks different and bigger”, the little girl said as her curious eyes looked around.
“That’s true baby. This city is a lot bigger and is the capital city of the country”, Li Xue said to her daughter as she looked into her purse to find something. Her face grew a little anxious when she wasn’t able to find the thing she was searching for.
Li Wei also noticed her mother’s unusual facial expression. “What happened, Mama? Have you lost your cell phone again?”
It has now become a habit of her mother to leave her mobile phones or keys behind and then grow anxious searching it here and there. Since they were shifting to a new house, it wouldn’t be the keys her mother was searching for. The only option left was her mobile phone. So the girl directly asked for it.
Li Xue nodded, still searching for her phone. “Mama, you were playing with it on the plane when I was reading my picture book. Have you left it there?” Li Wei asked, putting her hands on her hips.
From the scene it looked more like a little girl wasn’t the daughter but a mother who has been reprimanding her kid who has lost her pencil pouch again in the school.
Li Xue also remembered that she was using her phone in the plane and maybe she had left it there.
“I am sorry, baby. But I think I have left it behind”, she said as she closed her eyes tightly to hide her embarrassment. Her daughter knew all of her. How did she become so careless that even her daughter can easily notice it?
“Let’s go, we can ask desk staff. Maybe they can help”, Li Xue said as she held the luggage with both hands and then gestured to her daughter to come with her.
“Mama, there is so much left for you to learn. Off hoo!! If we both go together, our speed will become lesser. So you should go fast. I will wait for you here with the luggage”, the girl said but her mother instantly shook her head against it.
“No, baby. I can’t leave you here alone. Quick come with me”
“Mama, I am no longer a small kid. I will stay here and wait till you return and if you still worry then you can ask the guard uncle to keep an on me. I won’t run off”, Li Wei said with a concluding tone.
Li Xue looked up to see a lady guard who was standing at the side and witnessing everything. She was giving them a smile.
Looking at her, she returned her smile and pulled the luggage and Li Wei towards her, “Mam, sorry to bother you but can you please look after my girl for some time. I have to go and check something with the airport staff.
“Yes, yes sure. This sweet little girl said it right. Taking her with you will only slow down your pace”, the lady officer guard said as she gently caressed the little girl’s head.
Li Xue smiled in gratitude and then bent down to lift Li Wei up to make her sit on the chain of chairs kept at the side. “Wait here and I will come soon. Okay?”. The little girl nodded her head to assure her mother.
“It’s cold here, so don’t remove your cap or muffler”, she reminded and then readjusted the cap on the little girl’s head. The little girl giggled and nodded again, then imitating her mother’s action she also touched Li Xue’s muffler and said, “You too, Mama!”
Making sure of everything, Li Xue turned and left in a hurry. She needs to return soon. She can’t leave her daughter alone for a long time.
Li Wei sat on the bench and looked at the people coming in and going out. Suddenly her eyes fell on a tall man who had dropped his handkerchief behind and then without caring walked forward.
She looked at the guard under whose eyes her mother had left her then her eyes went towards the man who was still walking, not caring about his handkerchief.
The little girl pondered for some moment then jumped off the bench to rescue the little handkerchief.
Looking at that piece of cloth she felt it would be a waste if it got ruined there and she also remembered what her mother had said earlier. ‘Always care for the things that belong to you’.
But it’s a pity her mother herself lost her mobile phone behind and now looking at that tall man, Li Wei felt he was also like her mother, who without even caring has left his things behind.
She shook her head and then quickly ran after the man on her stubby legs with his abandoned handkerchief in her hand.
