"let's go!"

After a while, Pei Yushen turned his eyes and silently pushed the wheelchair.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go~~ Let's hold hands, little hands and big hands~~"

"Floating white clouds~~ Gentle sunlight~~"

Chaochao, in high spirits, walked and sang, but stopped at a certain point, her big eyes lighting up.

Let's stay here!

Pei Yushen's eyelids twitched slightly.

Under the cool shade of the trees, Chaochao slung her small bag over her shoulder, pulled out a roll of fabric with her little hands, and shook it in the air with great flair. A yellow and white checkered cream-colored picnic blanket was then laid out on the lawn.

Then, one by one, they took out fruits, milk, and various snacks from their bag and placed them all on the tablecloth.

The variety was so great that Pei Yushen wondered if it wasn't a bag but Doraemon's magic pocket.

"Brother Yu Shen, come here, come here."

Chaochao kicked off her little shoes and wobbled up the table, patting the tablecloth with her little hands and calling for the boy to come quickly.

Pei Yu frowned and approached, the wheels stopping at the edge of the tablecloth, like a clear dividing line between Chu and Han.

He sat quietly in his wheelchair.

The little dumpling, busy running around, didn't seem to notice anything amiss. She opened a bag of cookies, her eyes squinting with delight as she ran over, her eyes shining.

The bag of cookies was held high and appeared in front of Pei Yushen.

"Brother Yu Shen ate it too, it tastes amazing!"

Pei Yushen tilted his long neck back, his handsome and indifferent face clearly showing his refusal: "I won't eat."

"But how can you go out and have fun without eating?"

Chaochao held up one finger, her little face serious as she reasoned with the boy.

"That wouldn't count as playing, and besides, Brother Yushen, you said it would be no matter what."

The little dumpling's last words left Pei Yu speechless, "..."

After suppressing the thought of breaking the contract for the umpteenth time, he slowly raised his finger, took out a piece, and put it in his mouth without expression.

Seeing this, Chaochao nodded with her hands behind her back, her little expression seeming to say—

Minister Pei, you've finally seen the light.

Once you've eaten the first piece, there's no doubt you'll want a second and a third...

"Brother, have some yogurt!"

"And these potato chips are so crispy and delicious!"

"You want to try these peelable peach gummies, Yu Shen? You don't need to say anything, you're sure you're right!"

"..."

The industrious little dumpling was like a little bee roaming in a garden. She would open a bag of snacks and taste it herself first. If it was delicious, she would immediately get up and run to Pei Yushen's legs so that he could have a taste too.

The system nodded: That's right, but what snack doesn't taste good to Chaochao?

If it weren't for the fact that even if the boy were sitting, the short little dumpling wouldn't be able to reach him even with his arms outstretched, he would have eagerly and directly fed him into his mouth in one go.

Pei Yushen mechanically reached out, chewed, and then swallowed.

At this moment, Chaochao picked up a carton of strawberry milk; her bag was full, so she could only put one carton in.

Chaochao stared at the cute pink packaging box, swallowed hard, and with difficulty looked away, handed it to Pei Yushen.

"Brother Yushen, you should try this too, it's really, really delicious!"

She testified! She guaranteed! She swore!

Pei Yushen never drinks any liquids when he is away from home.

This time he didn't take it, and said in a calm tone:

"You drink it yourself."

Chaochao thought the older brother was concerned that she hadn't had any to drink, so she gently shook her head and pointed to her small water cup.

"I have water to drink now."

Hey bro, you can drink it! She can always get another box when she gets back!

"I don't like it."

The boy took a deep breath, his voice even.

What do you dislike?

Chaochao tilted her head, and after realizing what was happening, her eyes widened in shock.

It's unbelievable that someone wouldn't like such delicious strawberry milk!

How could he possibly hold back all his life?

Chaochao, who couldn't wait to show off three boxes of strawberry milk and five boxes of peach milk a day, stared at the young man's serious face and was speechless for a long time. Her initial shock eventually turned into deep admiration.

She quickly retrieved a food container.

Inside are sliced ​​cantaloupe, pear, and apple.

The little dumpling looked up at him with sparkling eyes.

"Let's have some fruit to quench our thirst!"

She was prepared! Isn't that amazing? Hehe!

System: "Waaaaah, baby is so awesome! Who wouldn't want to carry Chaochao with them wherever they go from now on!"

Chaochao sat on the tablecloth, happily slurping down her milk carton while watching her older brother eat fruit.

The boy was already handsome, but his skin, which had become sickly pale from spending so much time indoors, became almost transparently white in the warm sunlight, like snow with gold trim.

Yu Shen is so handsome.

Chaochao stared blankly as she finished the last sip of milk, then, satisfied with both her sight and taste, let out a comfortable sigh: "Ah—"

The system reluctantly pointed at its finger.

Waaaaah, if it could transform into human form, it would definitely be so beautiful!

Suddenly, Chaochao's little ears twitched slightly. She put down the milk carton and looked suspiciously at the tall, lush tree next to her.

I saw the little dumpling get up as if it were being summoned and run to the tree.

Pei Yushen calmly put down the third piece of pear he had picked up with his fork.

His gaze swept over the bags of snack wrappers in the trash bag; he had tasted almost every single one of them.

Whether it was a month, two months, or half a year later, Pei Yushen felt full for the first time.

He brought it on himself...

An unspoken emotion flickered in his downcast, dark pupils.

By this time, Chaochao had reached the tree, reached out and pried something black off the trunk. The little dumpling scanned its features with its eyes, and asked curiously:

Are you Xiao Zhi from yesterday?

Having just overcome the psychological barrier from yesterday, the cicada, determined to resume its song, weakly vibrated its wings, emitting a faint chirping sound, like a slightly tipsy, smoky voice.

Ding! Voice recognition unlock successful!

"You really are a little naive!"

This time, Chaochao didn't put it in the bucket, not because she didn't bring a bucket, but because... um... it's just...

Pei Yushen, standing to the side, watched the little dumpling repeatedly run into familiar faces, and thought, "..."
