She carried her things and arrived at the door of Xiao Sheng's little house, gently knocking on the door.
Zhang Jia opened the door.
Upon seeing Zhou Shuwan, Zhang Jia smiled in surprise: "Wanwan? What brings you here? Come in and sit down."
Zhou Shuwan smiled and went inside: "It's nothing. I just found a few things while tidying up and thought Xiao Sheng might like them, so I brought them over to take a look."
Xiao Sheng was sitting on a chair by the window, lost in thought. When he saw Zhou Shuwan come in, he looked up at her but didn't say anything, his eyes remaining calm and expressionless.
Tao Zheng was also in the room. When he saw Zhou Shuwan, he nodded as a greeting.
Zhou Shuwan walked up to Xiao Sheng and handed him the geography book and the Transformers toy: "Xiao Sheng, these two books and this toy are for you. See if you like them!"
Xiao Sheng glanced at Zhou Shuwan again.
Zhou Shuwan looked into his dark eyes, trying to discern something from them.
But his eyes were too calm, like a bottomless lake, making it impossible for anyone to see into his inner thoughts.
That's not the look a child should have!
Zhang Jia, worried that Zhou Shuwan would feel awkward, urged, "Xiao Sheng, hurry up and take it, see if you like it."
Xiao Sheng then slowly took it.
He casually flipped through a couple of pages, seemingly uninterested, and tossed them aside.
Zhang Jia quickly stepped forward, apologetic smile on her face, and pulled her towards the door: "Wanwan, don't take it to heart, Xiaosheng is just like that."
Once outside the door, she lowered her voice and explained with some helplessness, "He's always been like this, taciturn, uninterested in anything, and not very good at getting along with people."
She paused, her eyes filled with heartache: "Perhaps I've experienced too much suffering, and I've closed myself off. He really didn't mean any harm; he's just too withdrawn. Please don't blame him."
Zhou Shuwan shook her head and smiled, "I understand, why would I blame him? Don't take it to heart!"
The two stood in the corridor, the sweltering air hitting them in the face. In the distance, they could hear the sounds of repair teams hammering on alloy plates, as well as the occasional conversations of survivors.
Zhou Shuwan glanced at Zhang Jia and suddenly asked curiously, "Judging from how much you and Tao Zheng care about him, it seems you're planning to let Xiao Sheng stay at your house permanently?"
Mentioning this, Zhang Jia's face instantly lit up with a gentle smile: "Yes. At first, I was worried that Tao Zheng wouldn't like having a stranger in the house, after all, he's a cold person and not very good at getting along with children."
Unexpectedly, after spending more time together, he became even more attentive than I was.
Neither A-Zheng nor I are talkative people. When we lived in this little house before, apart from necessary conversations, we were mostly silent, sometimes so quiet it was almost frightening.
Since Xiao Sheng arrived, although he doesn't talk much, the room has finally become a bit more lively!
I could tell that Tao Zheng was really starting to like this child.
During this level 12 gale, when we jumped into the sea, he protected me and Xiao Sheng the whole time!
Although Xiao Sheng is still cold and aloof, I believe that everyone has a heart. As long as we continue to treat him well, he will eventually open his heart, and our family will get better and better in the future.
Seeing the anticipation for the future in Zhang Jia's eyes, Zhou Shuwan was genuinely happy for her: "That's wonderful. It's Xiao Sheng's good fortune to have met you all."
Just as the two were talking in hushed tones, Zhou Shuwan suddenly sensed that a gaze was fixed on her from behind the closed door.
That was Xiao Sheng's gaze!
She felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively tensed up.
Zhang Jia immediately noticed her unusual behavior and quickly asked with concern, "Wanwan, what's wrong?"
Zhou Shuwan quickly composed herself and shook her head: "No, no, it's probably because it's too hot. I felt a little dizzy standing here, and I just swayed a little."
