silence,

There was no sound except silence.

Perhaps they all realized the deeper meaning behind the girl's delicate stubbornness, and their gazes were no longer filled with the same harshness and helplessness as before...

Someone started crying.

Soft sobs,

It was like a knife or an axe, stabbing heavily into everyone's chest, and then stabbing them hard, stabbing them to pieces.

"What's Daddy's name?"

Qin Sheng didn't react much. He just gently stroked the little girl's slightly dirty face with a look of pity.

The little girl's eyes were still fixed on Qin Sheng. "Qu Wenjie."

"Where's Mom?"

"Mom...my name is Yu Xiaoqin..."

Everyone's eyes were filled with sadness and emotion, but the little girl herself was the only one who had a light in her eyes that was forbearing...

The cameraman on the side couldn't help but hesitated and said, "Director Qin, if you want to take pictures, I can help you take them..."

Qin Sheng stood up, nodded to the cameraman, and held out his hand, "Let's go, where do you want to shoot?"

"Let's go to the park." The little girl smiled, but she was afraid that Qin Sheng would not agree, so she slowly added, "Is it okay?"

"Can."

…

“This is it, this is it, I want to take pictures here.”

In a People's Park in Liang City, the little girl talked a lot with Qin Sheng along the way. She was not afraid of strangers. She took Qin Sheng's clothes and came out from under his shoulders.

"Brother Qin Sheng, can you hold me and take the photo?"

The background here is a circle of lush flower beds. The flowers cannot understand people’s pain and are still bright and fragrant.

Li Yanyan, Old Huang, the cameraman, and the others all stood three meters away, watching Qin Sheng and the others from afar. They didn't shamelessly ask for a photo; after all, it would be too burdensome for them to bear...

"What a poor kid! She's only nine years old and has no parents. Her future..." Old Huang sighed sadly, then looked at the people around him, "There should be a good family to adopt her, right?"

Li Yanyan's eyes were red and she didn't answer him.

The cameraman nodded heavily, "There will be kind people who will take her in, don't worry."

"That's good, that's good..." Old Huang smiled with satisfaction, took out a Zhonghua cigarette that he never shared, and handed it to the cameraman, "Here, one?"

The cameraman paused for a moment, then finally took over...

Qu Xiaowan's parents died. At around three o'clock in the morning, both of their bodies were not in the bedroom. Qu Xiaowan's father was lying in the living room, while Qu Xiaowan's mother was curled up in an arched shape as if she wanted to squeeze Qu Xiaowan into her body and fell beside her.

The moment they felt the crisis, both of them subconsciously made a life-saving decision. Without any hesitation, they ran to their daughter's bedroom together.

Qin Sheng smiled and picked up Qu Xiaowan. The little girl was very light, and she hugged Qin Sheng's neck, feeling warm and comfortable...

"Brother Qin Sheng..."

"Um?"

Qin Sheng turned around and saw two tears swirling in Qu Xiaowan's star-like eyes...

When everyone looked at her with anger, she held back.

She also held back her tears when she said the names of her deceased parents in front of everyone.

But when she felt the long-lost warmth and pampering in Qin Sheng's arms, she finally couldn't hold it back any longer.

"Dad said he'd take me to Shenghai... Shenghai has a big theme park... Mom also agreed to go..."

"I even heard my mother talking... She told me not to cry... But I didn't cry, and she left anyway..."

In an instant, tears flowed from her eyes to the corners of her mouth. Qu Xiaowan pursed her lips and held back her tears.

Qin Sheng silently held the back of her head and stroked it gently.

It was heavy and heartbreaking. Qin Sheng had never experienced this before, but the trembling of Qu Xiaowan's delicate body... made him feel the same way.

The person standing by wiped away tears silently, wanting to say something, but felt that at this moment, comfort was a powerless expression.

"Okay, let's take pictures. It doesn't look good when you're crying."

Qin Sheng forced himself to smile. Qu Xiaowan raised her head from Qin Sheng's shoulder, her eyes red.

"It's okay. I'll take you to Shenghai Paradise some other day. Now, let's stop crying and take some pictures first. Come on, make your hair pretty."

Qin Sheng smiled and untied her two messy little balls again, then patiently tied them up. Although his skills were not good, they were much neater than before.

This scene was so heartbreaking and tender that the photographer, afraid of crying himself, teased, "Get ready! This is your first free photo opportunity. A second one will cost you money!"

"Come on, take a picture."

As he spoke, Qin Sheng lifted Qu Xiaowan a little higher, smiled at her, and finally nodded to the photographer.

"Click"

"Click"

The first photo shows Qu Xiaowan lowering her head to see if her dirty shoes have rubbed against Qin Sheng's clothes, with her short legs trying hard to stretch outwards.

The second picture shows Qu Xiaowan looking up and wanting to talk to Qin Sheng.

"Click", capture,

In the third photo, a big and a small are snuggling together, smiling at the camera together. Their faces, still with tears hanging on them, are bathed in the beams of sunset, with bright smiles shining brilliantly.

…

night,

Qin Sheng did not ask his father-in-law for help. He outsourced more than ten staff members to set up the stage. In less than an hour, a simple stage was ready.
