As soon as Lin Qingqing came out of the training room, she received a phone call from Xiang Huayang. The voice from the other end of the phone was as low and pleasant as usual. 

"You have a competition tomorrow. Are you nervous?"

Lin Qingqing was filled with happiness as she laughed and talked to him. "Not nervous. When the competition is over, remember to treat me for a meal."

Xiang Huayang seemed to wear some helpless smile; he had always been aloof but his smile contained a kind of doting. "Rest assured, I won’t neglect you." He paused for a moment and then added in a straight tone. "Qingqing, let's have a good talk when the competition is over."

The sudden change in his tone made Lin Qingqing nervous, but she pretended to be natural as she said, "Why? What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Wait until your competition is over."

Lin Qingqing made a sound of acknowledgment. She had already walked to the dormitory door. From afar, she saw a person standing downstairs. She recognized Liang Xin and rushed Xiang Huayang. "Xinxin has come to see me. I'll hang up first."

After a moment of silence, he replied. "Okay, good luck with your competition tomorrow."

Liang Xin came up to her. Lin Qingqing hung up the phone call and greeted her with a smile. 

Liang Xin held a cat-like flannel doll and handed it to her as she walked over. "This lucky doll is for you, remember to hold it in your arm while sleeping tonight and the competition tomorrow will be a success."

Taking it over, Lin Qingqing deliberately looked at the puppet before replying, "It doesn't look very good, but I will reluctantly accept it."

"I think you can do it, you still have a mood to joke. I won't worry about your competition tomorrow." Liang Xin snorted. "En, then I won't accompany you tomorrow."

Lin Qingqing immediately replied, "No, no, you still have to accompany me. I have the confidence only when you support me." She slapped her mouth and added. "My mouth is full of nonsense. This cat is cute and adorable."

Covering her mouth, Liang Xin burst into laughter.

Liang Xin and Lin Qingqing were very good friends, the kind of relationship that wouldn't blush even if they made some excessive jokes.

Liang Xin wasn't only her good friend but also her stepsister, but only two months older than her. In fact, at first Lin Qingqing didn't like her because she hated her (LX's) mother, Liang Feifei, who was the third party in her parents' marriage. Her father and mother divorced because of her, and her mother was also hurt by the woman's intervention. Later, her depression had dragged her body down, and she died a few years after divorcing her father.

After her parents divorced, her sister followed her mother, and she who was still in junior middle school at that time was assigned to her father. Her father married soon after, and Liang Xin was the daughter of Liang Feifei and her ex-husband.

At first, she looked at Liang Xin in disgust, the same way she looked at Liang Feifei. Later, seeing Liang Xin being beaten by her own mother, she realized that the girl was also a victim of this marriage, and they were equally disgusted with this marriage. So, the both of them who were in the same boat soon became very good friends.

Over the years, they supported and encouraged each other in a family that didn't look like home. In addition, both of them learned music from an early age, so they had a lot of common topics. What's more, they were even admitted to the same school of music.

Since they had the same hobbies and were a family, she and Liang Xin would always have endless topics to talk about. She was also the closest person to her besides her mother and elder sister.

After chatting with Lin Qingqing for a while, Liang Xin returned to the dormitory. Although they were in the same school of music, they studied in different departments, so they weren't in the same dormitory. Liang Xin had to spend half an hour back and forth to give her the gift.

It was almost midnight, and all the roommates had already gone to bed. Lin Qingqing washed up and went to bed. She was probably thinking about tomorrow's competition and forgot the big flannel doll after she carried it in and put it on the table, so she didn't sleep with Liang Xin's lucky doll.

She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep much tonight, oddly enough, she didn't expect to sleep soundly.

...❃ The peeping sun from outside the window made her so uncomfortable that she woke up and subconsciously touched the alarm clock at the head of the bed. But even after groping for a long time, Lin Qingqing didn't find it. She realized something was amiss and adjusting her eyes to the light, she looked at the tabland was immediately startled....

This room wasn't her dormitory but was a bit familiar. This was the room where she lived in her childhood before her parents divorced.

After her parents divorced, her father went to Xiang Hai City to settle down. Since she was assigned to her father, she also moved along with him, only coming back every weekend after she was admitted to the university.

It’s strange. I was obviously in the dormitory, how did I get here?

Sitting up on the bed, Lin Qingqing's head felt painful as if there were needles piercing. She subconsciously touched her forehead and felt a gauze wrapped around it. Puzzled, she hurried up to look into the mirror.

It was true that she was wrapped in gauze around her head... But how did she get hurt? She was fine before she went to bed.

That was true, but she seemed to be much thinner. Although her skin was white, it wasn't the healthy kind of white. It was a bit pale, like malnourished.

Lin Qingqing didn't know what was going on. It was just like a dream, very unreal. As she looked at the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar face in the mirror and doubted whether it was a dream, she caught a glimpse of the clock on the rear wall from the mirror.

The hands pointed to 9:20 a.m. 

Lin Qingqing was suddenly startled. It’s the competition today!

She was still wearing pajamas, so she immediately took them off to find clothes to change. But the clothes in the wardrobe were a little strange; the style was more mature, especially the nightgown hanging in the row- it had lace which wouldn't be something girls her age considered.

However, there was no time to care about it now. She grabbed a suit casually and put it on. Just after changing, she heard a knock at the door. Then her elder sister's voice came... 

"Qingqing, are you awake?"

"I’m up~"

As soon as she spoke, Lin Qingqing was startled by her own voice. What happened? How did my voice become like this? It is so harsh.

She immediately cleared his throat and tried to make a sound: "I ...."

It was still the harsh ugly voice.

She was absolutely shocked... How did this happen? How did my voice become like this?! I’ve to go to the competition today!

At that moment, her elder sister, Lin Zhenzhen pushed the door and entered.

Chapter 1 - Waking Up Five Years Later

translator: Oyen editor: Larkspur

She immediately cleared his throat and tried to make a sound: "I ...."

It was still the harsh ugly voice.

She was absolutely shocked... How did this happen? How did my voice become like this?! I’ve to go to the competition today!

At that moment, her elder sister, Lin Zhenzhen pushed the door and entered.

Seeing her, Lin Qingqing asked anxiously, "Jiejie*, what is going on? How did my voice become like this? I'm going to take part in the competition. What should I do if my voice is like this? And why am I at home? Why am I not in the dormitory?" She touched her head.

"How did I hurt my head? What the hell is going on?"

[*Jiejie is older sister. LQQ calls her older sis so.]

Lin Zhenzhen's features were somewhat similar to Lin Qingqing's. Both of them were authentic great beauties, but Lin Qingqing's features were more three-dimensional than her sister's. While the elder sister was the kind of graceful and restrained beauty, while the younger one came out as more magnanimous and aggressive.

Lin Zhenzhen was also confused by her words. "What are you talking about? What competition?" She didn't drink early in the morning, she shouldn't be drunken mad. And the look on her face, seemingly on the verge of tears, didn't look like she was messing around with her on purpose either.

Lin Qingqing had no time to investigate now. Since it was too late, she would skip breakfast and eat something later. She tried several times but still had a rough voice. She stomped her foot in frustration. "What should I do?! How can I compete like this?!"

Lin Zhenzhen drew near, held her shoulder with both hands, and asked her softly, "Don't worry, you tell me first, what competition are you going to take part in?"

"Pineapple TV Talent Show! It’s held once every three years, and now is in the Beicheng competition area. If I miss it, I’ll have to wait three years. But I will be twenty-three then. If I can become famous, I want to become famous earlier. I have done so much preparation for this competition. I don't want to wait for another three years... but my voice, how did my voice become like this?!" Lin Qingqing hurriedly said.

How could she sing when her voice was this harsh? She burst into tears.

Lin Zhenzhen stared at the girl before her... this was her sister, no would know better... she knew that the tears and agitation were not fake. After a moment’s thought, she asked, "Tell me, what is the date today?"

"May 23rd. The qualifying round starts on May 23rd, I remember very clearly." Before this, she had successfully cleared the second round of the competition, and today’s qualifying round was the key to determine whether she’d succeed or not. She mustn't miss it!

"Which year?" Lin Zhenzhen asked again.

"2013." Lin Qingqing was very sure.

She spoke with absolute certainty, her gaze was clear and bright and she didn't look insane. However, seeing how sure she was Lin Zhenzhen was even more surprised, she gazed at her in stupefaction. It took a long time before she took a deep breath and said word by word, "Qingqing, it is 2018 now."

Lin Qingqing paused for a moment, then she was even more flustered. "Jiejie, why are you playing such a joke with me at this time?"

Lin Zhenzhen didn't speak but directly led her out, pulling her through the busy lobby outside the restaurant and standing at the entrance of the restaurant. At the door, the words 'Peace Restaurant' was written in calligraphy. This was the restaurant founded by their grandfather. (T/N: I don't know if it is restaurant or hotel, but since I read as the story goes, I chose restaurant- the word is 饭店 - fàndiàn)

But at the moment they stood at the door, the cold wind howled outside, and flakes of snow seemed to fall from the sky. She hadn't noticed back then because of the heater in the room. She thought it was still summer, so she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. As soon as she came out and was blown by the cold wind, Lin Qingqing shivered.

The billboards on the street were full of signs welcoming 2018, and Lin Qingqing soon found that several tall buildings had come up around the restaurant. The familiar streets had changed a lot but only the Peace Restaurant still maintained the old street style of Beicheng.

"See?" Lin Zhenzhen said to her.

Lin Qingqing was still in disbelief...

How could- how could it be? I was still in the dormitory yesterday, I was still preparing for the competition... How did I wake up in 2018?

❃❃❃

Chapter 2 - How Is This Five Years Later?

Lin Qingqing was utterly overwhelmed. In her muddle-headedness, she was pulled in by Lin Zhenzhen. She then put on a down jacket on her (LQQ), stuffed her into the car, and took her to the hospital for examination.

"How could this be? How come it is the year 2018? No, no, it must be a dream." She muttered to herself and slapped her cheeks with her hands, but she could clearly feel the pain on her face.

Thinking of something, Lin Qingqing asked, "Jie, what's happened to my voice?"

"Five years ago, before you went to the competition, you bought a cup of boba milk tea to drink. There was a piece of glass residue in the boba milk tea. You drank the glass residue together with the pearls and it cut your throat. However, the wound was not properly treated, caused inflammation, and affected the vocal cords," Lin Zhenzhen said.

Lin Qingqing was like being struck by lightning, losing her soul. It took a long time for her to speak again. "So, in the end, I failed to take part in the competition?"

Lin Zhenzhen nodded.

This is terrible! Why is it like this? Five years ago, there was no such possibility in the path she had planned for herself.

She was born with a good voice, loved singing since childhood, and also had a talent for music. So her parents focused on her music from a very young age.

She could play many kinds of musical instruments, except string instruments- she could only play the guitar. In the university, she was admitted to the best conservatory of music, and because of her talent and hard work, she performed very well in the school.

Everybody thought that she had the most promising future, what's more, even she felt that way.

She would become the best singer in the country- stand in front of people with radiant light and sing in a heavenly voice at a venue of ten thousand people.

This was her dream.

Since childhood, she had been working hard to realize her dreams. She firmly believed that she could achieve it because of her talent and hard work. She could do it!

But why would her voice be ruined? This was what she cherished the most; her voice was very pleasant, it was her pride. She’d loved singing from an early age and was obsessed with music. If her voice were destroyed, her soul would be almost shattered.

"Can it be cured, Jiejie, can my voice be cured?" She cried, her heart was broken.

Glancing at her little sister's face full of tears, Lin Zhenzhen was very distressed. Even though she (LQQ) was really out of shape these last few years, at this moment, she seemed very helpless and pitiful. So, she (LZZ) didn't know how to answer her, for no matter which answer, it was cruel to her.

Understanding her sister’s silence, Lin Qingqing cried even more and was even more broken-hearted.

Lin Zhenzhen brought her to the nearest hospital. Lin Qingqing looked listless because of her voice. She was taken by a nurse for various examinations just like a klutz. Finally, the doctor came to a conclusion.

"Judging from the preliminary results, she should have selective amnesia caused by functional reasons."

Lin Zhenzhen looked solemn and hurriedly asked, "Can she still regain her memories?"

"This is not clear, maybe she can remember it, maybe she can't remember it at all," the doctor replied.

Lin Zhenzhen took her out of the doctor's office. Unlike her sister's solemn face, Lin Qingqing was like a klutz all the way. Any kind of amnesia was nothing compared to her ruined voice.

As soon as she came out, Lin Zhenzhen's phone rang. Taking a look at it, she subconsciously looked in the direction of Lin Qingqing. The girl had her head down, thoroughly depressed, and wasn’t paying any mind to her. She felt relieved and said, "Sit here for a while and I'll answer the phone."

Lin Qingqing dazedly nodded and sat down in the corridor.

Had she really lost her memory? However, she had no impression of the past five years at all. She didn't believe that she had lost her memory. Perhaps she traveled through time and woke up five years later?

But why was her future like this?

Sitting here for a long time, Lin Qingqing didn't see her sister coming back. She remembered that she had just answered the phone in the corridor. She looked in the direction of the corridor and walked to the door of the corridor and saw Lin Zhenzhen inside.

She called out: "Jiejie."

Lin Zhenzhen didn't know who called her, hearing the voice, she subconsciously turned her head and saw that it was Lin Qingqing. She hurriedly said something to the man. As Lin Qingqing passed, she only saw a tall man walking down the stairs, but she couldn't see what he looked like.

"Who were you talking to?"

"No one, let's go."

Lin Qingqing did not ask more. As Lin Zhenzhen came out of the hospital, there was a square opposite the hospital. A large LED screen was standing on the square. At the moment, an advertisement was playing on the screen. It was a lollipop advertisement. The girl in the commercial was wearing a pink skirt and was eating lollipops while singing. Her singing was sweet, and the song she sang was as sweet as lollipops.

Lin Qingqing recognized the person in the advertisement at a glance. "It's Liang Xin, Jiejie, that's Liang Xin!" Lin Qingqing was a little excited. "Is Liang Xin a star now?"

"En, she has become a star." The elder sister replied expressionlessly.

Lin Zhenzhen, like her in the beginning, hated the mother-daughter pair deeply. Because she (LZZ) did not get along with Liang Xin, there was no change in her attitude, and it was not surprising that she was so indifferent to her (LX).

"I'm going to look for her. Jiejie, will you take me to look for her?" Lin Qingqing said.

"Looking for her?" Lin Zhenzhen snorted coldly. "You lost your memory, so you forgot that she got together with Xiang Huayang when your voice was destroyed and your life fell to a low point."

"Wha- what?" Lin Qingqing couldn't believe her ears. "How can it be? Liang Xin and Xiang Huayang?" She didn't believe these two people would betray her!

The news was like a thunderbolt to her at this moment, but she knew that her elder sister would not lie to her.

After a brief shock, there was a surge of unstoppable anger. "I'm going to find them and ask them clearly! Why did they do this to me?"

Lin Zhenzhen grabbed her and said, "What will you do? That was five years ago, but now the time has changed, and people will only think you are ridiculous if you make a fuss!"

Lin Qingqing suddenly woke up from a dream. Yeah, it's 2018 now. That was five years ago.

Why, why did everything change after she woke up?

She and Liang Xin had planned to move out of the house after earning money the other day, leaving the house completely; but why, when she woke up, everything was no longer what it used to be?

Also, Xiang Huayang looked cold and indifferent, but he was a person with a cold outside and warm inside personality. His gentleness had always been only for her, and she always thought that he was the right person for her.

Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Qingqing asked, "What about Dad? Liang Xin did such a thing to me, doesn't Dad care?" Also, she lived with her father, and she should have woken up at his house. Why was she here with Jiejie?

Lin Zhenzhen sneered. "Dad? That good father has been protecting Liang Xin since you had an accident because he favors her mother. You broke off your relationship with him when you’re heartbroken."

At those words, Lin Qingqing took a step back as if she had been struck by lightning.

Did her father protect Liang Xin when she did such a thing? She had always felt that her father loved her no matter what. After all, she was his flesh and blood.

She really couldn't believe it, couldn't believe it!

Seeing that she had suddenly stilled, Lin Zhenzhen felt a little distressed and patted her comfortingly. "All right, let's go home and I'll make you steamed egg custard."

Lin Qingqing followed her sister home, but she wasn't in the mood and had no appetite to eat. Lin Zhenzhen asked her to lie in bed for a while.

Lin Qingqing sat down beside the bed, looking dejected. Lin Zhenzhen squatted down to help her take off her shoes. Only then did she react and said, "I'll do it myself."

Pushing her elder sister's hand away, she pulled up her trouser leg and took off her shoes. It was only then that she found a large tattoo on her calf. It was a witch with red eyes wearing a magnificent holy robe and a staff in her hand. It looked strange and enchanting.

Lin Qingqing soon found that there seemed to be some scars under the tattoo, and asked, "Why is there such a big scar on my leg?" She had very good skin that she cherished from an early age, she could not tolerate leaving any scars on her body.

"This is what you accidentally burned. You got a tattoo on it because you didn't like the scar."

Lin Qingqing: "—"

It was probably that she experienced too many twists and turns today. If she had seen this scar at ordinary times, she would be miserable to death. But at the moment, she did not have much reaction to hearing Lin Zhenzhen say so.

She just nodded dully and laid down on the bed, hoping that everything in front of her was just a dream. When she woke up, she would return to reality. None of this would exist. She would still be a college student with ideal and ambition. Liang Xin and Xiang Huayang would also be beside her as well.

Seeing her lying down, Lin Zhenzhen went out, but Lin Qingqing tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep. She took out her cell phone and logged on to her social account. There used to be many contacts on the account. But now, many of them were gone- college classmates, and net friends who she had chatted with in the past.

Is it true that times have changed?

No, no, just fall asleep and wake up, it will all be fine.

Later, Lin Qingqing really fell asleep and woke up in the afternoon. At dusk, the crab-yellow light shone through the window, lending the whole room a hazy and blurred air, like a dreamland.

She was still in her room in Beicheng. She went to the mirror and sat down. In front of the mirror, her head was wrapped with gauze and her face was a little pale.

However, even if she was pale, she was still beautiful with an enviable palm-sized face, large and bright eyes, an exquisite nose, and high brow bone that made her beautiful with an exotic demeanor.

The pair of sisters had largely inherited their looks from their father. Hailing from the countryside, he came to Beicheng to work alone when young. He moved to the Peace Restaurant and became an apprentice. Perhaps because he was good-looking, he was favored by the daughter of the restaurant owner and finally married into the family. (T/N: marry into and live with one's bride's family)

Their father was also brilliant, growing the restaurant, making the business bigger and bigger. When he made a fortune, he opened a branch in Xianghai City and managed it even in an even better manner. He turned the small restaurant into the Peace Hotel, which later became a grand hotel. (T/N: this hotel/restaurant, I don't know anymore, because the translation said fàndiàn - 饭店, and it means hotel and also restaurant, my head went crazy T^T)

After their father succeeded, Liang Feifei, who had once abandoned him in a village and left him because he was poor, sought him again. Both of them quickly rekindled their old love and made a secret deal. At that time, their father had already done a great deal of work. For Liang Feifei, he had to give up half of his property to divorce their mother.

Both she and her elder sister hated their father, but they had to give their father a lot of credit for their beauty.

Nothing in front of her had changed. She hadn't woken up and hadn't returned to her eventful and vigorous 20-year-old self.

Five years later, she found herself like this. Without a voice, lover and friends... not only did she have nothing but her life was a mess.

Everything looked to be so despairing.

What should she do? How could she accept waking up at night to be like this?

And it seemed that there was no way to go back!

She slowly raised her head and stared at the haggard but beautiful woman in the mirror. However, after five years, she also came over right? There was no retreat, no choice, she could only go forward.

Since the 'changes' could not defeat the ‘her’ from five years ago, they wouldn't defeat the ‘her’ who came from five years ago.

❃❃❃

Lin Qingqing adapted to ‘life after-five-years’ in a short time and became familiar with the environment.

Lin Zhenzhen told her that her life had been very bad before that, and she’d been muddle-headed all the time. Lin Qingqing probably guessed it, but she could not understand it. If she could accept the worst things now, why couldn't she accept it when she suffered these things five years ago?

But it didn't matter anymore. What she needed to do now was adjust her condition as soon as possible.

After a short adjustment, she began to help her sister with work. Speaking of which, her sister had also paid a lot for the restaurant. When their mother passed away, Lin Zhenzhen had been busy with the judicial examination. She was a top law student. However, upon their mother’s passing, she took over the family restaurant. The restaurant was run by their grandfather and was of special significance to their family. She (LZZ) didn't want the restaurant to be closed at her hands, so she gave up her ideal and took over the job.

Her sister had sacrificed so much, so what face did she have to continue being ignorant?

No matter how she used to be, she must now cheer up. On the one hand, she could help her sister, and on the other, she could rest assured when she got better.

Peace Restaurant had a good geographical location with several universities around it. Off late, the takeout industry had developed unprecedentedly. There were especially many people ordering takeouts when they came to the restaurant. Sometimes, when the takeout boy couldn’t deliver, Lin Qingqing would help out.

She was mainly responsible for the Beicheng Aeronautical Engineering Institute across the restaurant. Every morning, she would first help her sister with the restaurant affairs and then manage the accounts. In the afternoon, she would go out to deliver. Her days were very fulfilling.

Almost all the students in the university ordered takeouts, and almost all the delivery locations were in the student dormitory. So in the afternoon, she basically ran back and forth from the restaurant to the student dormitory at 2:00 p.m.

On route to the student dormitory was a kindergarten. On that day, Lin Qingqing by chance glanced towards the kindergarten when she passed by on her scooter with the takeout. There, she saw a child staring at her from behind the iron railing of the school.

It was a little boy. He was wearing a long, white down jacket, its hem almost reaching his ankles. Inside it was a black turtleneck sweater. It looked cool and handsome, but because he was small, this one exuded a cute feeling.

He was white and tender and with large, watery eyes he stared at her. She felt as if she had been caught, and could not help looking more.

Such a distraction, she didn't notice the big pit on the road; the scooter drove right through and shook for a moment. She wasn’t able to hold it steady, and as such both the scooter and she fell down.

Really... Embarrassing!

It was not a heavy fall. She hurriedly sat up and did a quick check on the takeaway. Fortunately, it was okay. She was just about to get up with a sigh of relief when she heard a jog. Lin Qingqing subconsciously looked up and saw the child who had just been staring at her running out of the kindergarten. His little face was worried. Perhaps, blown by the cold wind, his cheeks were dyed with a small flush of red that made him even lovelier.

He stood beside her but did not approach too closely, keeping within a certain distance. His little eyebrows rose up gently as he asked, "Are you all right, Auntie?"

The kindergarten teacher anxiously ran after him and said, "Xiao Yuan, you can't run out until your dad comes to pick you up."

The child named Xiao Yuan pointed to Lin Qingqing who was still squatting on the ground and said, "Auntie is injured."

The kindergarten teacher held Lin Qingqing up and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"

Lin Qingqing laughed and said, "It's all right, it's just a scratch."

"Auntie, please buy a band-aid later. Don't let the wound get wet." The little boy added.

Lin Qingqing did not expect a child to still understand these. Since she was in a hurry to deliver things, she was not able to stay any longer. She only said to him, "Auntie will remember, thank you." Then, she rode away on her scooter.

On her way back, Lin Qingqing glanced again at the kindergarten subconsciously when she thought of the little boy she had just met. To her surprise, the little boy was still standing inside the railing, still looking at her with big eyes.

It's so late. Haven't his parents come to pick him up yet?

One didn’t know if it was because of the pair of bright, watery eyes, but when he looked at people, she always felt his eyes displayed some kind of expectation that also showed a kind of pitiful taste.

Lin Qingqing stopped, parked at the curbside, and went to the railings to squat down. Before she could speak, the little boy took a band-aid from his bag and rushed to her. "Auntie, please stretch out your hand and I'll stick it on for you."

Lin Qingqing: "—"

Lin Qingqing glanced at his skinny wrist and then watched him clumsily tear the bandage with his tender, fleshy little hand. Surprised, she said, "You didn't wait for me here with the band-aid, did you?"

He nodded his little head, then squatted down, stretched out his little chubby hand from the railing and gently pressed the bandage on her wrist. His movements were awkward and not very smooth. Then he gently held the fold on the folded bandage with his fleshy little hand which seemed to smooth the fold.

His hands are really soft and warm, and he was also too loving to wait for her here with a band-aid.

Whose child, ah, has been taught so well! Lin Qingqing wrapped her arms around her knees and propped her chin onto it. She smiled at him with her head tilted and asked him in a very gentle and tender voice, "Your name is Xiao Yuan?" She had heard the kindergarten teacher call him that.

Somehow, he seemed to look at her smile in a daze. He looked adorable. Lin Qingqing put up with the impulse to poke him twice in the face and said, "Auntie asks you... Is your name Xiao Yuan?"

Only then did he return to his senses. He scratched his little face with his little chubby paws, lifted up his little head, and said in a tender voice, "My name is Yi Beiyuan. Auntie can call me Xiao Yuan."

Yi Beiyuan? That's a nice name ah.

"My name is Lin Qingqing. You can call me Auntie Qingqing."

"Auntie Qingqing." He gave a sweet sound.

His voice was so sweet that it softened one's heart.

"It’s so late, your parents have not come to pick you up?" Lin Qingqing asked him again.

"Dad has a meeting."

"What about mom?"

His face turned gloomy, his head hung down and his voice was low, which made people feel like he was going to cry the next moment. "Mom has gone to a very far place."

Lin Qingqing: "—"

Lin Qingqing recalled when she was ten and her grandfather died, she’d asked her mother where her grandfather had gone. Her mother told her that her grandfather had gone far away.

Far away was an ambiguous and sad word used to comfort children. He said that his mother had gone to a very far place, and maybe his mother was no longer alive.

What a pity. He looks like he's only four at most. He lost his mom at such a young age.

Lin Qingqing did not want to ask him any more questions to make him sad. She looked at the snack bar across the street and said to him, "Are you hungry? The steamed cakes over there are delicious. Shall I buy one for you?"

He raised his head, looked at the other side with his big eyes, and then stared at her. He seemed to nod very cleverly without considering for long, said with a meng voice, "Okay."

Lin Qingqing went to buy a steamed cake and handed it to him. He took the steamed cake, pouted his small mouth, blew it a few times, and took a bite.

So unguarded? Even if his mother was gone, didn't his father teach him to be wary of strangers?

"Don't eat anything given to you by people you don't know in the future, do you understand?"

He frowned slightly and pursed his small mouth. He took another bite of steamed cake carefully for fear of scalding his mouth. When he heard this, he nodded in a puzzled way. He responded very well and obediently. "Okay." Then he thought of something and said, "Auntie is a good person, can eat what Auntie gives."

Eh?

What if this little kid gets cheated in the future? So naїve and easy to cheat, what if he meets bad people?

"Auntie, quick go home for dinner."

Lin Qingqing laughed and said, "That's all right. I’ll wait for your dad."

The little kid shook his head and said, "I will wait by myself. It's so cold here. Girls shouldn’t be out in too much cold wind."

Wow!!!

So gentle and considerate? He is simply a little warm boy, right? What if a 25-year-old aunt was pulled by a four-year-old child?

Later, at the insistence of the child, Lin Qingqing was finally "driven away".

The next afternoon Lin Qingqing was still delivering food to the Beicheng Aeronautical Engineering Institute. She did not forget the little meng she met yesterday. When she passed by the kindergarten, she looked at the iron railing. She did not expect to see him at a glance. He still stood there with big eyes looking at her. When she saw him, he grinned at her with a very bright smile.

Rosy lips and pretty white teeth, lovely like jade snow, directly hit the heart of the 25-year-old auntie. Lin Qingqing stopped the scooter and rushed to him. "Auntie will do the delivery first and then accompany you?"

He nodded enthusiastically, his eyes were unbelievably bright.

One didn’t know if she wanted to have a little kid waiting for her to play with him, but today, Lin Qingqing delivered goods very quickly. When she returned to the kindergarten, the little boy was still standing there. He smiled at her when he saw her from afar.

Lin Qingqing went to the iron railing and squatted down. "Is your dad having a meeting again today?"

"En." The clear little voice answered, then he looked at her hands for a moment and asked her, "Auntie, can you give me your hand?"

Whether it was her illusion or not, but she felt a cautious tone in his questioning.

Lin Qingqing did not think too much and generously stretched out her hands. She saw his eyes shining, as if a little delighted, and then he reached out his chubby little hands and held her hands in his podgy palms. Then he lowered his head and blew a warm breath on her palms and said, "Auntie’s hands are cold, I'll warm you up."

OMG, does this little thing want this old auntie’s life?!

He gently rubbed his small hands on the back of her hands with some awkwardness. Feeling it wasn’t enough, he pulled her hands and put them on his cheeks. His skin was tender, smooth, and warm. When her palms touched it, a warm current immediately flowed into her heart.

Dead ah dead, I’m so dead!

However, Lin Qingqing was also afraid that she would make the child laugh if she were to lose control. She perked up and said, "Why are you so sweet? If your mom has a child like you, she'll wake up laughing in her dreams."

The little child somewhat hung his head, and with a face full of dejection said in a low voice, "My mom doesn't like me. My mom never lets me come near."

"Ah?!"

Lin Qingqing was surprised. She simply could not understand. "How could it be? Why doesn't your mom like you when you are so good?"

He immediately raised his little head again. His dark eyes were brighter and more cautious. With a little expectation, he asked, "Does Auntie really think I am very good?"

Good, it was simply impossible to be not good, right? She nodded without thinking and could not help rubbing his little head and added: "Of course! Xiao Yuan is very good!"

He seemed satisfied, laughing in a low voice and rubbing unconsciously into the palm of her hand.

It's so meng ah, Lin Qingqing couldn't help rubbing it a few more times.

The little guy giggled twice and suddenly looked behind her and said, "Daddy is coming.
