Little Xingxing, however, had her eyes wide open. She looked at Lu Haotian in bewilderment. Lu Haotian gently stroked Little Xingxing’s hair. But Lu Haotian said, "Little Xingxing, first close your eyes." Obediently, Little Xingxing closed her eyes. Lu Haotian said, "After you close your eyes, do the people you love, the people you miss, all appear in your mind?" Little Xingxing nodded and said in her childish voice, "They are all there, there’s my master, Brother Xia Ye, Mom, Xiao Bai, Senior Brother, and Senior Sister." Little Xingxing mentioned them one by one, and she seemed to become happier. Lu Haotian said, "You see, even though they are not by your side, they are still with you in your memory. When you think of them, you feel happy, and memories are also a form of companionship." Little Xingxing opened her eyes and looked at Lu Haotian: "Are they all with me?" Lu Haotian nodded: "Little Xingxing, remember, in this world, there are many people, and in your life, you will meet many people. Some people are very important, and you hope to be with them every day, but you can’t be with everyone you like. However, those you care about will never leave you; they are always by your side, just in a different way. When you miss them, they will appear in your mind. Separation is a form of being together."

When I talk to the stars, you can hear me, right?" Lu Haotian said, "I hear everything you say because I’m always with you. When you see the stars, you think of me, and feel as if I’m talking to you." Little Xingxing seemed greatly comforted: "That’s right, Dad. What about Brother Xia Ye? What will he turn into?" Lu Haotian thought for a moment: "He’s the wind outside. When the wind blows through the branches, it’s him talking to you." Little Xingxing became very happy. She got up directly and leaned against the showcase window. Little Xingxing watched as the night wind brushed through the cherry blossom branches outside. So happy that she almost jumped up: "I hear it, I hear Brother Xia Ye talking to me. He says he misses me too." Xia Yangyang smiled too. The child’s imagination is indeed unparalleled.
