The night was gentle, with moonlight filtering through the sheer curtains, casting a soft glow in every corner of the room, adding a touch of haziness and tranquility to the atmosphere. Song Ying and Lin Xiao Yu sat side by side on the soft sofa by the window. Song Ying turned slightly to face Lin Xiao Yu, her eyes filled with the unique concern and love of a mother, as if she wanted to see deep into Lin Xiao Yu's heart. She reached out and gently took Lin Xiao Yu's hand, the warmth of her fingers conveying silent care. In a low, soft voice, tinged with a hint of caution as if afraid to disturb something precious, she asked, "Sweetheart, how have you been lately? I want to know if you're doing well and if there's anything bothering you that you can share with me."
Feeling the warmth of her mother's hand, Lin Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile sweetly. She tilted her head slightly, a few playful strands of hair falling onto her cheek, accentuating her delicate features. Her eyes sparkled like they held countless stars, overflowing with happiness that seemed ready to spill forth like honey. She leaned closer to Song Ying, resting her head on her mother's shoulder, and with a cheerful tone like a little deer leaping through the woods, she said, "Mom, I'm doing great! I'm really very happy. Lu Zean is so good to me, you know? Every morning, he wakes up a little earlier than I do and quietly prepares a loving breakfast for me in the kitchen. Sometimes it's my favorite fried egg sandwich, perfectly toasted bread with golden crispy eggs, paired with a cup of rich hot milk. That taste is truly the flavor of happiness."
Lin Xiao Yu paused for a moment, her eyes revealing a hint of shyness and sweetness as she continued, "When he comes home from work in the evening, no matter how tired he is, he always takes me for a walk in our Siheyuan. We stroll slowly along the bluestone path while the potted plants and flowers by the roadside look enchanting under the moonlight. We chat about the interesting things that happened during the day. Once, I casually mentioned how I loved catching fireflies by the river when I was little. A few days later, he took me to a small village outside the city where there was a peaceful meadow beside a clear stream. That night, countless fireflies danced among the grass like dreamlike fairies. He held my hand and surrounded by those fireflies, we felt as if we were in a fairy tale. At that moment, I felt like the luckiest person in the world."
Song Ying listened quietly, her smile growing brighter as her eyes filled with contentment.
During their days in Shanghai, under the warm sun, Lin Dongzhe enthusiastically led his family through the bustling streets of this vibrant city. Strolling along the retro-style Bund, they felt the gentle breeze from the river. Lin Dongzhe acted like a professional tour guide, passionately recounting the history and stories behind each uniquely styled building on the Bund. Meanwhile, Lin Xiao Yu playfully made faces beside him and suddenly said to Lin Dongzhe, "Brother, look at you getting so into it! Are you thinking of becoming a history teacher?" Lin Dongzhe feigned anger and lightly tapped Lin Xiao Yu on the head while laughingly scolding her: "You little rascal! All you do is tease me." Lu Zean chuckled helplessly from the side, his gaze always tenderly resting on Lin Xiao Yu as he handed her a bottle of water with concern: "Sweetheart, we've been walking for so long; drink some water and take a break."
At Disneyland, laughter echoed everywhere. Lin Dongzhe excitedly planned their route to experience all the popular attractions. However, Lin Xiao Yu was full of playful energy; upon seeing cute cartoon characters, she dragged Lu Zean off for photoshoots, completely derailing Lin Dongzhe's plans. When they finally managed to gather together to queue for a roller coaster ride, Lin Xiao Yu clung tightly to Lin Dongzhe's arm and exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Brother! I'm so scared! You have to protect me!" Lin Dongzhe puffed out his chest heroically: "Don't worry; I've got your back." Lu Zean watched them fondly from behind while silently holding onto Lin Xiao Yu's backpack to prevent it from falling.
While exploring Yuyuan Garden's antique scenery that lifted their spirits, Lin Dongzhe was admiring an intricately carved window when Lin Xiao Yu sneakily pulled out a small folding fan from behind and imitated ancient people by lightly waving it as she walked in front of him. With an affected voice she said: "Brother seems so focused; could it be that there's some extraordinary treasure hidden within this window?" This made Lin Dongzhe burst into laughter while their family around them couldn't help but chuckle as well. Lu Zean smiled as he wrapped an arm around Lin Xiao Yu's shoulders and softly said: "You just love making everyone happy."
As they savored Shanghai's famous Sheng Jian Bao at a lively snack shop surrounded by family sitting together at a table, freshly steamed Sheng Jian Bao released steam as Xiao Ting eagerly picked one up but accidentally bit into it too hard; hot soup splattered on her lips as she gasped for air while mumbling: "Ouch! It's too hot but smells so good!" Everyone looked at her amusing expression and couldn't help but laugh.
Walking through Shanghai's alleyways, a fluffy white puppy ran over to them and circled around excitedly with its tail wagging like a little propeller. Lin Xiao Yu squatted down excitedly and gently petted its head while it closed its eyes in comfort. "This little guy seems to really like you," Lin Dongzhe said with a smile. Lu Zean laughed as he captured this warm moment on camera.
In these few days of fun under Lin Dongzhe's guidance filled with endless joy and warmth thanks to Lin Xiao Yu's playful jokes and Lu Zean's thoughtful care.
In the spacious yet somewhat empty airport waiting hall bustling with people dragging various-sized luggage through crowds amidst continuous announcements about flight information echoing throughout; however amidst this noise and busyness lingered an undercurrent of sorrowful parting between Lin Xiao Yu and Lu Zean as they prepared to return to Beijing—a quiet wave spreading among their family that made even the surrounding air feel heavy and oppressive.
