Chapter 180 - There was something missing inside her.
Both Li Xue and Feng Shufen had somewhat inkling of the meaning behind the dream the little girl had seen. Though they wanted to bring things back to normal for her, that was not something going to be easy. Both patience and the proper way to handle the things were needed.
"What happened WeiWei? Did you not like the ice cream?" he asked when he saw the smile on her lips not reaching her eyes. Knowing her from so many days and spending his time with her, he has already known well about her hearty smile and various other expressions.
The little girl shook her head as her eyes went to look both at her Mama and her Daddy Angel as if she was wanting to clear some confusion of her mind. "No Mama, this ice cream does not feel the same. It feels like something is missing in it. But I am not able to guess, what is it?"
Li Xue knew about what missing ingredient was not there in her bowl. She looked at the man by her side, giving some unspoken hints to him and then again reverting her gaze at her daughter she said, "But sweetie that\'s your favourite one. Everything like you wanted. There is extra white chocolate syrup over it too. What can there be missing?"
Little Li Wei was confused about it. Her Mama was right, nothing is missing in the bowl but however she tasted, she felt something was missing. Disappointedly, she turned to look at her Daddy Angel with a confidence in her heart, asking him if he knew what was missing …
Feng Shufen looked at his little piece. Though she looked all cute and beautiful with that pretty confused face of hers, same as her mother still he would not want her to be like this. Nodding to the woman, he asked her to allow him.
Getting the hints from him, Li Xue instantly took her steps aside, letting him come in front of her little princess. His presence was not only giving confidence to the Little girl but also her. With him around, she was all sure that everything will turn out good for them. She did not know when and how but an unseen trust for him has already made its place in her heart.
"Nothing is missing in your ice cream bowl, WeiWei! It is all the same as you like", Feng Shufen said, gesturing to the little girl to take a look back at the bowl.
As asked, the little girl took a look back at her bowl and nodded in agreement. "Yes, daddy Angel! This ice cream is still all the same I like, then why is the taste different? Does the Ice Demon have done something wrong to it?" She asked all innocently. Her voice held some concern.
The man shook his head denying her words at an instance. "There is nothing wrong with the ice cream, little piece. Nothing is missing in it rather the missing part is inside you. Take a look inside yourself and you will know it". He said, giving light pats on her head, all lovingly.
"Inside me?" the little girl asked with confusion as she moved her eyes to look at herself. Eyeing everything, she was wearing, she did not understand anything. "But Daddy Angel, I am all perfect with my dress. Nothing is missing"
She said making both her Mama and Daddy Angel smile at her words. At this moment, Li Xue came forward to explain to her the things in the way she would understand. It\'s not tough to make kids get your words, but it surely needs practice and patience. Though she was sure that the man was patient enough with them, still the practice was something that was missing. He needed more time around the little one to get that.
"Li Wei, Daddy Angel is not talking about your dress. The dress is what we wear outside but on the inside, we have other things. Our emotions! Remember I have told you what true emotions are?" The mother asked all patiently. She has always let her daughter know about these morals and values herself. After experiencing the inhumanity amid humans, she has always been determined to let her little princess know what humanity and human emotions actually are!
Little Li Wei nodded her head in approval, knowing exactly what her mother was asking her. During her bedtimes, her Mama always teaches her some different about the emotions and feelings through different stories and she remembers it all. She was her Mama\'s precious, obedient daughter. How would she not remember it?
"Yes, Mama! I remember it all. Emotions are the various feelings we feel inside ourselves. The kindness and goodness of Princess Snow White and Queen Cinderella, the love and understanding of Belle, the adventurous excitement of princess Jasmine and Alice from Wonderland and also the fear and bravery of Red Riding Hood. And there are also others. Should I list them too?" She replied, listing almost everything she has heard in the last month from her mother.
"No, Baby that\'s enough. I am already confident that my girl knows everything I have taught her. Now tell me among all those feelings what your heart is holding, right at this moment?" Li Xue asked, getting right at her point. There was no doubt that her daughter was an obedient one. It was just her way of showing her obedience sometimes becomes a little different and amusing.
The little girl looked at her mother with some thought and then placing her hands lightly on her heart, she said, all truthfully "Mama, I am feeling a little scared of Ice Demon. She was really dangerous in my dream. Taking her fire hands, she was all ready to melt my ice cream and was going to put a curse on me so that I would never be able to have it. So I am a little scared"
Li Xue smiled at her words as she said, "That\'s where you missed the thing, sweetie! You have never forced yourself to have ice cream out of fear. It has always been with your interest".
"But Mama, what can I do? That Ice Demon was fierce and dangerous. She was the same as Aunt Ryan in my dreams. She even said …", Li Wei said, picturing the Ice Demon from her dreams but before she could complete her words, Li Xue stopped her with her eyes, not knowing what expression was upon the man\'s face behind her.
