Aria didn't expect that the girl who fell into the water was Steven's sister, Julia Lewis.
Aria had heard before that Steven's sister had accidentally fallen into the water when she was young. Although she had been saved, she had fallen ill and had been in poor health ever since.
Later, Steven's family moved away to a better place to recuperate for Julia.
Could it be that this time...
Aria could not help but suspect that it might be this time. Because she rarely woke up so early when she was young, and she did not have the habit of going to the lake in the morning, it was impossible for her to encounter such a thing in the past.
This time, it seemed that it was fate.
Aria looked at the little girl who had changed into clean clothes. She had shoulder-length hair, and her big eyes were very eye-catching on her palm-sized face. She looked really cute.
"Aria, take off your trousers. I brought you a pair of jeans of my son. They should be about the same size as yours." Steven and Julia's mother, Mary Young, walked over with a pair of blue jeans.
Aria looked at the pair of jeans. She remembered that jeans were not popular when she was young. She didn't expect Steven to be wearing jeans now.
"Thank you, Auntie. It's okay. I'll just go home and change." Aria quickly waved her hand and spoke.
"How can this be? Your trousers are wet. What if you catch a cold?" Mary smiled and said, "Steven hasn't worn this yet. It's new."
Mary thought that Aria didn't want to wear boys' clothes, so she explained with a smile.
However, it's not for this reason. Aria just didn't want to trouble others.
"Auntie, there's no need..."
"Mom, I'm back!"
Just as Aria was rejecting Mary, a young male voice was heard.
Aria consciously looked past, and she saw a miniature version of Steven's exquisite face.
It turned out that Steven was so handsome when he was young.
This was Aria's first thought of Steven.
And he was so tall. He was half a head taller than her when he was the same age as her. No wonder he grew to nearly 6 feet.
This was Aria's second opinion of Steven.
"Steven, you're back!" Mary walked over and took the bowl from Steven.
There were three sandwiches in the bowl. It seemed that Steven had gone outside to change the sandwiches.
There was no sandwich sold in the village. If one wanted to eat sandwiches, they had to make them themselves or go to town to exchange for them. The people who exchanged for sandwiches every morning would shout at the street entrance. They could exchange wheat or flour for sandwich coupons. It was even more convenient to hold coupons after that.
"Mom, who is she?" Steven asked.
Aria saw Steven's gaze on her, but it didn't seem to be anything special. Or was he hiding it?
"Steven, she's Aria. She lives in front of our house, "Mary said. "I was making pies in the house just now, but I didn't notice that Julia had run out and fell into the lake. Fortunately, Aria saved Julia, or else I would..."
Mary's tears fell as she spoke. For her, the most important thing was her children. She almost lost her daughter because she didn't pay attention. If the accident happened, then she couldn't live anymore.
Steven didn't expect such a thing to happen. He quickly went to see Julia and found that she was fine. Her face was red. Then, he took a piece of tissue from the table and gave it to his mother.
Then, Steven walked up to Aria.
For some reason, Aria looked at Steven nervously.
"Thank you for saving my sister. Thank you!" Steven looked at Aria seriously.
"No, it's nothing. I just happened to pass by..."
Aria didn't know what was wrong with her. When she saw Steven, she remembered what they had said before she was reborn. So now, she felt very uncomfortable when she saw young Steven.
"Um, I'll go back first. I..." Aria subconsciously wanted to leave.
However, just as Aria was about to turn around, she felt her arm being pulled.
She turned around in surprise. It was Steven who had grabbed her arm.
Then, she was pulled to Mary by Steven. "Mom, since she saved Julia, she's our family's benefactor. We have to thank her properly."
Mary nodded. She thought so too.
"Aria," Mary smiled very gently at Aria. "Don't go back in a hurry. I'm making pies. I will personally send you back after you finish eating the pies, okay?"
Aria pursed her lips. She wanted to refuse.
However, before she could reject Aunt Mary, her other hand was grabbed by someone.
"Aria, don't leave, don't leave. I want to play with you, don't leave!" Julia looked up at her, her eyes were red as if she was about to cry.
Aria immediately felt that she was in a dilemma.
In the end, she had no choice but to nod and stay.
Mary smiled and patted Aria's head, then turned to Steven and said, "I brought Aria a pair of jeans that you haven't worn before. You should persuade her to change into it, or else she will catch a cold. Then, take Aria and Julia to play. Don't go out!"
Mary instructed her son a few words before going to the kitchen next door. She had only prepared the ingredients for the pie and hadn't started to bake it yet.
When Mary went to the kitchen, there were only three children left in the room.
In the beginning, the three children looked at each other silently.
"Um, go and change into my jeans. I haven't worn them before. Don't catch a cold." Steven spoke first.
Aria thought about it and agreed to change.
She took the jeans and thought for a moment before heading to Julia's room with an open door. She saw that there were many dolls and toys in Julia's room. She could go there to change.
Aria walked over, and Julia followed behind her.
However, what scared Aria was that Steven also followed her.
"I'm changing my clothes. You can't follow me!" Aria said.
Steven was stunned for a moment, then he pursed his lips and said, "Well if you don't know how to change it. I can... help you."
Help... her...
Aria was stunned for a moment, then she spat out a word with a red face, "Hooligan!" Then, she slammed the door shut.
Steven was confused.
