"Zijun, our son just spoke. I didn't hear it wrongly, right?" Jin Huan tightly grasped the corner of Leng Zijun's clothes, her eyes full of surprise and expectation, and she eagerly confirmed with her husband.
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was afraid that she had heard it wrongly.
"It's true, it's true, I heard it too!" Leng Zijun was also so excited that he was incoherent. He excitedly took his wife's hand and quickly walked to his son.
He squatted down, stared into his son's eyes, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable joy: "Yichen, call me daddy."
Jin Huan also came close to Leng Yichen, tears flashing in her eyes, and said softly: "Yichen, there is still mother, can you call me mother?"
She stretched out her hands and gently stroked Leng Yichen's little face, looking forward to hearing that kind call.
However, Leng Yichen did not make a sound as they wished.
He just looked at his parents quietly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He seemed a little scared, and quietly moved closer to Xiao Miaomiao, trying to avoid his parents' sight.
Seeing this, Xiao Miaomiao quickly protected Leng Yichen behind her, looked at Leng Zijun and his wife vigilantly, and asked in disbelief: "Are you really the parents of this child?" There was a hint of doubt and worry in her tone.
Zhang Jie also came forward, patted Xiao Miaomiao on the shoulder as if to comfort her, and explained: "Sister-in-law, they are indeed the biological parents of the child. They have photos of the child taken at home on their mobile phone, and they have been looking for it for a long time."
"Mr. Leng is my colleague, and I can trust him," Zhang Jie continued.
Xiao Miaomiao felt relieved when she heard Zhang Jie say that he was a colleague.
"Little boy, your family is here to look for you. It's time for you to go home." Xiao Miaomiao looked at Leng Yichen and said.
Leng Yichen stood there without moving, but pointed at the painting stubbornly, muttering, "Painting..." Xiao Miaomiao thought he wanted the painting, so she took it down and handed it to him, saying gently, "This is your painting, take it back if you want it, okay."
After Leng Yichen took the painting, he did not leave as Xiao Miaomiao expected. Instead, he held her hand tightly and kept shouting, "Sister!" This made Xiao Miaomiao a little at a loss.
"Little friend, I'm going home now, you should go home soon too. If you like painting, you can come and play with me again tomorrow at the same time." Xiao Miaomiao explained patiently. However, Leng Yichen seemed unwilling to let go and still held her tightly.
"Leng Yichen." When Leng Yichen heard Xiao Miaomiao calling him "little friend", he suddenly introduced himself.
"Leng Yichen? Is this your name?" Xiao Miaomiao looked at him curiously and asked. Leng Yichen nodded vigorously to show his affirmation.
Xiao Miaomiao smiled and said, "Hello, Leng Yichen! My name is Xiao Miaomiao. How about we meet tomorrow? I'll be waiting for you here. But, it's better if you can ask your family to accompany you, okay? After all, it's too dangerous for you to come alone."
Leng Yichen did not respond, but still held Xiao Miaomiao's clothes tightly, as if unwilling to let go.
Jin Huan standing by couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes, as if he was dreaming.
Her son was able to communicate with others normally now and was no longer as closed off as before.
Jin Huan was so excited that she couldn't hold back her tears any longer, which flowed down her cheeks. Does this mean that there is finally hope for improvement in her son's autism?
Over the past year, they have sought medical treatment and taken their son to visit countless experts, but to no avail.
Leng Yichen always shuts himself off and refuses treatment or intervention.
Later, he even developed symptoms of irritability. Not only did his condition not improve, but it became more serious.
In desperation, they had no choice but to move, hoping to help their son by changing the environment.
However, at this moment, Leng Yichen showed an unprecedented change. He not only took the initiative to introduce himself, but also started communicating with others.
Jin Huan noticed that there was a gleam in his eyes, no longer the dull and wooden look he had before.
Jin Huan covered her face with her hands, tears falling from between her fingers. She was extremely excited because she heard the first words her son said.
Leng Zijun also felt relieved. He stood quietly by and watched his son and Xiao Miaomiao.
Leng Zijun walked up to Leng Yichen, squatted down, looked at his son at eye level, and said in a trembling voice: "Yichen, tell Dad, you like to paint with this sister, right? Do you want to continue painting with your sister?"
Leng Zijun's eyes were full of anticipation, he hoped to get a positive answer.
Leng Yichen raised his head, looked at Xiao Miaomiao firmly, then turned to Leng Zijun and said, "Dad, I want it." Although his tone was childish, it was full of determination.
After hearing this, Leng Zijun's eyes flashed with tears, and he hugged Leng Yichen tightly in his arms.
"Yichen... my child..." Leng Zijun murmured to himself. He had waited for this moment for five years. For five years, he had been looking forward to his son calling him "Dad". Now, this wish has finally come true.
At the same time, Jin Huan walked towards Xiao Miaomiao and suddenly knelt down. Xiao Miaomiao was startled and quickly moved aside. The maid beside her was quick to support Jin Huan and stop her from kneeling down.
"Madam, you will scare our young mistress like this." The maid said nervously.
According to traditional concepts, it is unlucky for elders to kneel down to their juniors, as it may bring bad influences.
Even if Xiao Miaomiao is just pregnant, it will shorten the lifespan of an elder to kneel down to a younger one. Even if the young master or young lady has not been born, she cannot accept Jin Huan's kneeling ceremony. It is better to believe it than not. It is always better to be cautious.
Grandma Li saw this and nodded, planning to let the maid take care of Miaomiao regularly in the future.
Xiao Miaomiao was indeed a little scared. The couple's condition seemed to be problematic. And why were people so excited about a five-year-old child calling out "Mommy and Daddy" and even kneeling down? Xiao Miaomiao was really dumbfounded.
Jin Huan also knew that her behavior was indeed a bit abrupt, and looked at Xiao Miaomiao embarrassedly. Grandma Li did find that this child was a little different from normal children, but she didn't say much.
Zhang Jie learned about the child's condition on the way here with them. He was born with autism, which was only diagnosed last year.
Xiao Miaomiao took out a clean handkerchief from her pocket and gently handed it to Jin Huan: "Wipe your tears first."
Jin Huan took the handkerchief, glanced at Xiao Miaomiao gratefully, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"
Then, Jin Huan looked at Xiao Miaomiao sincerely and asked, "Although it may be a little abrupt, could you please accept Yichen as your apprentice? Let him learn painting from you. As long as you are willing, no matter what the conditions are, we will try our best to meet you."
