We Are Meant To Be novel Chapter 128

Christy Zhong and Wen gazed at him with confusion. And they waited to see what he would say next.

Justin noticed they were both looking at him. He became even more talkative and excited. “Now that life will lose its savour when people grow up, surely I don’t want to grow up any more. I’m very satisfied with what I’m doing now. But you two do work really hard. You just said that time will go on no matter whether you like it or not. That is to say, I will become a grown-up sooner or later.”

In the end, the boy looked very reluctant.

His expression and remarks amused Christy and Wen. They wondered what the little boy was thinking all day. How could he be so strange? He was unique in terms of his thinking pattern, IQ as well as EQ.

Christy then thought of her two kids. Did they have such thoughts too? And she wanted to know whether they lived well somewhere.

But she didn’t have the time to think too much. There were so many things she had to deal with in her life.

Christy said deliberately, “Boy! You even began to think about how to escape your responsibility at such a young age! So you want your two moms to protect and support you all the times, right?”

Kids, especially small ones, should be implanted responsibility and obligations at a young age. That was the mainstream idea of society. If the kids were selfish and even did harm to society, it was their families who suffered most.

The reason why people reproduce was to carry on their family line. Parents brought up their children. And when the children grew up, they took care of their old parents. They didn’t care about whether it’s fair or not. Everyone did their part and then the society could be harmonious.

Justin glared at them. “Of course not. It’s difficult for me to communicate with you. I’ll grow up and you’ll become old. Time won’t favour someone or treat someone unfairly. So you must pay attention to your health and live well!”

He was so young. Why did he think so far and so much?

Anyway, it’s comforting for Christy and Wen to know that he was considerate to them. They exchanged a smile and joked him, “Don’t worry. We’ll take good care of ourselves and live longer. Then you can look after us in the future.”

“Deal. You should keep to your words,” said Justin seriously.

There was a very good atmosphere among them. If life could go on like this, they would be satisfied. Why did they have to think about growing up and getting old? If they could be in a good mood, everything in life was beautiful. And everything was promising.

They arrived on the first floor of a mall. People waited in long lines in some popular stores. It seemed that now people’s living standard rose, so they went out and relax themselves on weekends.

Life was not easy. It’s important to relax sometimes and then move on with energy.

Glancing at the food stores, Christy asked them, “Which one?”

Finally, they asked Justin to choose the one he liked. To their disappointment, he chose a Chinese restaurant which had a nice environment. Then they walked in.

Christy told him, “I have a job now and can earn money. You don’t need to save money for me. Just order what you like and have a nice meal.”

Justin nodded. Actually, rarely did a child know to save money for his family. Justin was considerate enough. After all, they were not in the years of wars when people had to cope with the food shortage.

“Okay. Mom and Auntie Wen. Don’t think too much. We should live for the moment. And we are about to eat delicious food. It’s foolish to do too much thinking,” comforted Justin.

Who could ever think that two grown-ups would be preached by a child? But Christy and Wen felt very warm. Such a cute boy had already charmed the socks off them.

“Ha-ha. We should be less philosophical than a kid!” Wen and Christy exchanged a look. “So we just empty our mind and enjoy the meal.”

They cheered up and began to talk with excitement while waiting for their food.

Fortunately, the shop served very quickly. After a while, dinner was announced and served.

After the meal, Christy and Wen took Justin to Children’s part below. Justin went in alone to have fun while Christy and Wen found two small stools outside, chatting.

Such a small kid just monkeyed around alone. He climbed to the slide and then go down of it. Then he climbed again. It seemed that he had a good time.

From time to time, he talked with other kids.

He was very conspicuous among the naughty kids for he was younger than them. And obviously, he looked very thoughtful.

Christy told Wen what happened to her recently. They concluded that she was doing great. Anyway, now she finally had a stable job.

“Well. Keep going! Life will get better. You are in luck now. See. You even find the man of your dreams so quickly!” Wen felt happy that Christy married James Feng. But she added, “You should protect yourself! Though you like him, you can’t let him hurt you!”

Christy smiled and said, “Of course! You know me. I just wanted someone to love me. He was nice to me. Don’t you think so? And he has a good personality.”

She meant it. Judging from James’ behaviours, she felt that he was kind to her. Though sometimes he was cold when talking with her, she could tell that he did have feelings for her.

“Great. And you should try to improve yourself. Maybe someday he will fall in love with you. After all, you are the most adorable woman in the world.” To her mind, Christy was a perfect woman.

Christy laughed and asked her with solicitude, “That’s just your opinion. Others won’t think so. Don’t talk about me. Tell me what happened to you. What about your work? When will you finalize your draft? Now is there still someone who bothers you.”
