Daddy Long - Legs

-Third Month-

"Young Master Xiao Ying," the butler called Xiao Ying who is sitting in the park. But, he doesn't move.

"Young Master Xiao Ying," the butler called again, but with higher pitch.

"Hm? Uncle Chen? What's wrong?" Xiao Ying finally responded and looked at Uncle Chen.

"Your uniform is ready and I'd like Young Master to try it."

"School, huh..." Xiao Ying sighed.

"What's with the long sigh, Ah Ying?"

Grandma suddenly enters the park with a smile and sits beside Xiao Ying. She pats Xiao Ying's shoulders.

"You looked like have a matter in mind. About school, I think?"

Xiao Ying sighs."I owe Yu Mo Gege, Grandma, Uncle Chen and all of people here a lot. I don't dare to ask more. And school... it's too much. I don't have any money to repay all of you already and I'm sure that school will be very expensive... This will be a really long time to repay them..." Xiao Ying explained."And who am I to deserve this whole thing? Everything is like a dream and I only a poor boy..."

"Oh my sweetheart, I believe Yu Mo won't think you have to repay him or me or everyone around this home. We might not know you well, but we believe that you are a nice kid and Yu Mo must has his own reason to raise you." Grandma said while patting Xiao Ying's head."Even though you just stay here for three months, you are not a burden. Uncle Chen told me that you help the maids and other workers here."

Xiao Ying looks at Uncle Chen who sheepishly smiles.

"By that reason, you should go to school. In this age, you should know more and you can't be caged in this home. We believe you will grow up well."

"Is that really okay?"

Grandma hugs Xiao Ying,"Oh my, of course it's okay. Don't mind and study hard, okay?"

"I won't disappoint Grandma and especially Yu Mo Gege." Xiao Ying said with determine."Uncle Chen, show me where the uniform. I will try it."

"Gege doesn't come today?" Xiao Ying asked while took vegetable to his bowl.

"Yu Mo said he can't come this month. He is starting to get really busy and because school also going to start, he will be rarely come home."

"Gege is going to school too?"

"Oh, of course, silly. He's still 15 years old after all." Grandma laughed.

Xiao Ying forgets that Yu Mo Gege is 5 years older than him since he is very m.a.t.u.r.e to maintain everything.

That day,

Xiao Ying decided to be like Yu Mo.
