Chapter 114: The Little Angel With A Broken Wing (9)

Lu Jia’er understood the state of mind that Professor Li and his wife were in. The efforts put into raising a child like Qiqi were not something that ordinary people could imagine. It took not only patience, but most importantly love. The love of Professor Li and his wife was positive. However, the strain between the two had become increasingly serious.
Everyone heard Qiqi talk and applauded involuntarily but Qiqi was indifferent, he just gave them a glance and lowered his head so that he could continue playing with Allen.
The quietness of Qiqi made him particularly cute. He looked like an angel who had donned an expression of concentration.
This is how many people think. Children with Asperger’s are living in their own pure world, just like angels. But angelic reverie is nothing more than an outside thought. The crux of the matter is that these children cannot express themselves, they will also feel happy, bad, sad, and worried. But when they have these emotions, which they cannot express, it’s frustrating for many of them so they cry and shout.
The root cause is that the growth of normal children can be compared to dominoes. If one gently pushed down a piece, they go down one by one in an order. But for children with Asperger’s or other types of autism, their brain system is an incomplete domino and there is no way to be as consistent in their development, which manifests in the obstacles they find when developing speech and emotional communication. Though most of them were not emotionally intelligent there are still some who have high intelligence in specific areas.
For example, they have extraordinary talents for numbers or regular memories, but they still can’t express emotions accurately. It is very difficult to make up for these shortcomings, so their world does not operate on the same wavelength as ours. But they also have their own unique expressions, using some object or aspect they are interested in as a way to communicate with others and share happiness.
Just like Qiqi at the moment, his expression was focused, but also pleasant. At this moment, he was happy with Allen playing puzzles.
However, among the people present, only a few knew that he was happy.Ordinary people don’t know their inner world at all, or don’t even care about it. They just act as spectators around these children.
Professor Li looked at everyone and said, “You all should feel free to head back and have a rest first. We will stay with Qiqi for a while.”
Everyone left and returned to their rooms. Lu Jia’er, who was thinking about something, went to take a shower.
When she put on her beautiful off-the-shoulder dress and went downstairs alongside Jin Xiangdong who was dressed casually toward the outdoor restaurant, Jason had already chosen a place for everyone. In fact, they could have eaten alone. But everyone had been on the team for a long time, even the vacation did not completely change their team style.
After they were all seated, Professor Li and his wife appeared with Qiqi, and of course there was also a cute Allen.
Professor Li’s and his wife’s seats were just beside Lu Jia’er’s. Although it may be useless, hard work to teach Qiqi to say hello to others, Professor Li still tried. “Qiqi, say hello to your uncles and aunts.”
Qiqi looked at everyone with his poker face, without saying a word. Lu Jia’er smiled and waved at Allen. “Allen, good evening!”
“Good evening, this beautiful lady!” Allen communicated with Lu Jia’er very politely.
Lu Jia’er smiled and then said to Qiqi, “Qiqi, good evening!”
Qiqi glanced at Lu Jia’er before he glanced at Allen again, then moved his little mouth and muttered, “Good evening!”
