All the way from the community to the airport, the blush on Lu Lingxi's face did not fade. He tried hard to think where this booklet came from. He packed his luggage last night and kept it at the head of the bed in the room. Except for him, Xiao Feng and Wang Shuxiu, anyone could enter the room, but Xiao Feng usually wouldn't go in unless it was necessary, so it could only be... Wang Shuxiu. Whenever Lu Lingxi thought that it was his mother who put this booklet in his bag, he felt extremely embarrassed. It was okay that he was not at home these few days, but how should he face his mother when he came back from Kunnan?

Lu Lingxi's emotions were all written on his face. Yan Yue was moved by what he saw, but knowing that Xiaoxi was thin-skinned, he could only pretend that he saw nothing and calmly guided Lu Lingxi to talk about other topics.

Because they were leaving the city, the journey was very smooth, and the originally estimated 40 minutes only took half an hour. When they arrived at the airport, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao had not arrived yet. Lu Lingxi looked around curiously, and found everything he saw interesting.

Yan Yue stayed beside him, looking at Lu Lingxi lovingly. He regretted not taking the boy to different places earlier. If he remembered correctly, this should be Lu Lingxi's first time going out.

"What is that?" Lu Lingxi pointed to the security device in the distance.

"A device to check if passengers have any dangerous items." Yan Yue took his hand and explained, and then said softly: "If Xiaoxi likes, we can go on a trip every six months in the future, how about it?"

After he finished speaking, he saw Lu Lingxi's eyes almost light up, and he nodded vigorously. Yan Yue couldn't help but rub Lu Lingxi's hair. The boy's eyes were clear and bright, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky. He looked at him with such expectation and trust, which made him feel indescribably happy.

As the two were talking, Zhang Lao called out from a distance, "Xiao Xi."

Lu Lingxi turned around and saw Elder Zhang and Elder Zhao walking towards him with a smile. Elder Zhang already knew that Yan Yue would also go to Kunnan, and insisted on paying for him and Lu Lingxi's expenses. Therefore, Elder Zhang was not surprised to see Yan Yue, and even when his eyes swept over the hands held by Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi, his face was full of kindness.

After the four of them met up, they quickly exchanged their boarding passes. They didn't have much luggage, so boarding was very smooth. Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi's seats were the double window seats in the last row. As soon as Yan Yue put his luggage away, he saw Lu Lingxi leaning against the window and looking out curiously. As the plane took off, the underground buildings kept getting smaller, and Lu Lingxi couldn't see anything after looking for a while. Yan Yue had been indulging his behavior, and seeing that he seemed to have no interest in the outside world, he smiled and touched his hair and asked, "It's a three-hour flight, do you want to sleep for a while, Xiaoxi?"

Lu Lingxi hummed. He didn't sleep for long last night because he was too excited. Now that the excitement has faded and he is feeling sleepy, it's a good time to catch up on some sleep on the plane. As he spoke, he found a comfortable position on Yan Yue's shoulder, closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

Yan Yue saw him fall asleep and signaled the flight attendant to bring a blanket. Although the temperature outside was high, it was a bit cold with the air conditioner on on the plane. It would be bad to catch a cold if you slept for a long time. Carefully covering Lu Lingxi with the blanket, Yan Yue was fine for a while. Looking at Lu Lingxi's backpack, he suddenly thought of the booklet. Even if Lu Lingxi didn't say anything, Yan Yue could guess what the booklet was about. He imagined Wang Shuxiu's tangled mood, and couldn't help feeling a little touched.

Because of his family background, Yan Yue didn't have a deep feeling for the meaning of the word "mother". It was only after he met Lu Lingxi and saw how Lu Lingxi and Wang Shuxiu got along that he slowly began to understand something. Until this time... Yan Yue took out the booklet from his bag. He believed that Wang Shuxiu might not like him in her heart, and might not accept him now, but she still prepared such a booklet. Maybe this is... the heart of a mother!

Yan Yue turned his head to look at Lu Lingxi's sleeping face, reached out to push away the messy hair on his forehead, and touched his face lovingly. He wanted to bend down and kiss the boy, but he was afraid of being seen by the people around him and attracting strange looks. He suppressed the impulse in his heart, rubbed the boy's lips with his fingertips, then smiled gently, took back his hand and carefully read the booklet in his hand.

When the plane was halfway through the flight, Lu Lingxi woke up in a daze. Feeling the familiar breath around him, he rubbed against her and asked vaguely, "What time is it?"

Yan Yue quickly grabbed the blanket that had nearly fallen to the ground due to Lu Lingxi's movements and covered Lu Lingxi again. He reached out and touched Lu Lingxi's forehead, whispering, "There's still an hour left, do you want some water?"

Lu Lingxi shook his head, not feeling thirsty. He opened his eyes blankly and saw the booklet Yan Yue had placed on his lap. The booklet was unfolded, and the page facing up showed two naked cartoon characters hugging each other. He blinked and almost woke up immediately. The blush burned his face again, and even his neck turned red.

"Brother Yan..." Lu Lingxi buried his face in Yan Yue's shoulder and called out muffledly.

Yan Yue held back her laughter and patted his back, coaxing him softly, "This is human nature, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Lu Lingxi frowned and sat up straight, saying vaguely: "...My mother gave it to me." He was not embarrassed about the booklet, but the person who gave him the booklet.

Yan Yue guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help laughing, which earned him a dissatisfied look from Lu Lingxi. He tried hard to suppress his smile and make his tone sound more sincere, "I know this is my mother's intention. Let's not let it down, okay?"

Lu Lingxi: “…”

Yan Yue's smile didn't stop until he got off the plane at Kunming. He recalled the shy and shocked expression on Lu Lingxi's face, and felt that the impulse in his body was about to be uncontrollable. If only he and Lu Lingxi were alone now, Yan Yue thought to himself, and took advantage of the luggage cart to reach out and hold Lu Lingxi's hand.

As soon as the four of them came out of the lobby, they saw the person who came to pick them up. The other party was a nephew of Mr. Zhao, who looked to be in his thirties. His name was Zhao Jian, and he was very close to Mr. Zhao. Zhao Jian had already booked a hotel for them, and the address was next to the Kunnan Botanical Garden. He suggested that everyone go back to the hotel to put down their luggage first, and then go to a very famous restaurant near the hotel for dinner.

Mr. Zhao agreed with a smile on behalf of everyone.

Zhao Jian drove a business car to pick someone up this time. Just as Lu Lingxi was about to get in the car, his cell phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed it was Fang Lei.

"Brother Fang?"

"Xiao Xi, are you in the store now? I have to go on a business trip for half a month. Can Xiao Hui be fostered at your place for a few days?" Fang Lei said a long string of words at once.

Lu Lingxi reacted and felt a little embarrassed, "Brother Fang, I'm in Kunnan now, Brother Huzi is helping to look after the store. If you feel comfortable, just leave Xiao Hui to Brother Huzi."

"Kunnan? You went to Kunnan? Yan Yue was with you?" Fang Lei seemed very surprised.

Lu Lingxi hummed.

Fang Lei smiled and said, "It just so happens that I am also on a business trip to Kunnan. I will treat you to a meal when I get there."

Knowing that Lu Lingxi was not in Fengcheng, Fang Lei did not mention the matter of fostering Xiao Hui. Lu Lingxi suggested Hu Zi with good intentions, but considering Xiao Hui's temper, Fang Lei really did not dare to hand it over to a stranger.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Lingxi wanted to report to his family that he was safe. But when he thought of the booklet, he didn't know how to talk to Wang Shuxiu. After hesitating for a few seconds, Lu Lingxi pressed Wang Shuxiu's number and the other party answered quickly.

"Mother……"

He was interrupted by Wang Shuxiu before he could finish his sentence, "Xiaoxi, you're here? I see. I have something to do and will call you later."

"Oh, okay, Mom." Lu Lingxi said obediently.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yue asked, feeling something was wrong.

Lu Lingxi shook his head. "Mom said she's busy now and will call me later."

Mr. Zhang in the front row laughed after hearing their noise. "Xiao Xi reminded me. I should also report my safety to my family."

They were chatting and laughing here. Wang Shuxiu, who was far away in Zhongjing, hung up the phone, took a deep breath, looked up at the old man in front of her, and said with a serious face: "You recognized the wrong person."
