Lin’er Doesn’t Like Him

In the midst of his sobs, tears fell one by one. "Lin'er has been good, but Sister still doesn't want me."

Seeing him cry, Xie Wan's heart ached. This feeling was something only those who had raised children could truly understand. She quickly fetched a handkerchief and wiped the tears from his face, saying in a gentle tone, "Lin'er, don't cry. Sister doesn't not want you. Who told you that Sister doesn't want you? I'll find that person and have a talk with them!"

Xie Lin looked at her, his small face full of sadness. "It was Teacher. He said Sister is going to get married soon and will leave Lin'er. But Sister said she would never leave Lin'er, and Lin'er has been good."

Seeing his distressed and sorrowful expression, Xie Wan felt her heart ache even more. He kept emphasizing that he had been good. If he wasn't feeling so insecure, why would he act this way?
