he distress in Fu Lao Ye's voice, and he was probably enduring it. He nodded slightly, not daring to show too much sadness, "I know, grandpa."Old Master Fu shook his head, didn't say anything more, in...Lin Jinran used his eyes to paint over and over again the small outline of Fu Tianze. The little guy didn't seem interested in the toy, nor did he play wildly with the other children in the inflatable castle. He stood beside the staff distributing masks, like a punishment.

Lin Jinran thought about when she was little, she really liked inflatable castles, and she loved the inflatable animal toys inside. The little one doesn't follow her in this.

Thinking of this, her face unconsciously turned towards the man beside her. She tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "When you were little, didn't you like inflatable castles either"

Faced with the sudden question, Ye Xiao lightly frowned, pondering for a few seconds before replying to her, "It should be."

As she had expected, "No childhood innocence." Lin Jinran muttered softly, her gaze shifting once again to the small figure.

Ye Xiao helplessly tugged at the corner of his lips, and a soft voice from Lin Jinran reached his ear, "He must have followed you. He doesn't like inflatable castles."

After finishing his words, Lin Jinran's delicate eyebrows furrowed in thought, and his mood suddenly dropped. "Is it... because my parents aren't here that you don't like me"

The other children were mostly accompanied by their parents, but he walked in alone. Even with fun toys around, no one was willing to share, which must have affected his mood as well, right

"No." Ye Xiao timely denied Lin Jinran's negative thoughts. Seeing Lin Jinran turn his head to look at him, he softly soothed Lin Jinran's suddenly low mood, "This kid has things he likes, and they take good care of him."

"Really" Lin Jinran still had doubts.

The night owl confirmed to her, "Really!"

My mood has lifted a little, and Lin Jinran asked again, "What does he like"

"Read a book."

As for what books to read, if Lin Jinran were to ask, Ye Xiao wouldn't plan to tell the truth, after all, this kid was completely following him, and the books he read were also novel.

Lin Jinran did not pursue the matter, she thought back to when she was a child, she also liked to read books.

She often immersed herself in the ocean of books, forgetting to eat. She knew all the fairy tales by heart, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and The Little Mermaid. She even fantasized about becoming a princess in a fairy tale.

It's fine that this little one likes to read!

Her heart couldn't help but flutter with joy. The more she looked, the more she liked him. The more she looked, the more she wanted to hug him close and give him a kiss and a hug, and have him call her "Mom"!

She can't do any of these things right now, without considering the present.

A wave of melancholy washed over Lin Jinran, a tightness in her chest that she couldn't shake. She didn't want to worry Ye Xiao, so she kept repeating to herself, "I'll see him. I will definitely see him."

Even if she can't be seen, she can still do what she can for him. Even if the child doesn't know it was her, she wants to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother.

Thinking this way, she turned her head and looked at the man beside her, saying softly, "Let's go to the bookstore in a while."

"Okay."

Having received the reply, Lin Jinran turned once more towards the small figure. The little figure, who had been standing as punishment, moved and took a step towards the door with their short legs, seeming to want to leave!

Lin Jin dyed subconsciously wanted to chase, her arm was pulled by the man, she turned back to look at him.

The night owl shook his head slightly, "Let's go to the bookstore."

Lin Jinran stared blankly, reluctantly looking back at the inflatable castle. Inside, there were no more of the little people she had yearned for.

Deeply saddened, she silently nodded. "Let's go," she said.un'er stared fixedly at Lin Jinran's delicate features, waiting for her to change expression, but there was nothing. Lin Jinran listened calmly to her words, her cherry lips opening, "That's it" 。"Ar...
