The system tried to soothe the distraught little dumpling: "Chaochao, turn around and see if there are two glowing dots there!"

After calming down a bit, Chaochao sniffed and turned around on the spot, and sure enough, she saw two halos.

Those are the bear's two eyes.

Chaochao leaned closer to the one on the right, and finally saw the outside world through the thin black mesh—

A series of legs, some thick and some thin, but none of them were familiar to me.

Chaochao began purposefully searching for Jiang Chi's legs, muttering repeatedly as she crawled quickly: "Finding brother, finding brother... blue pants, black shoes..."

Jiang Chi, who was actually wearing white pants and white sneakers, was watching the furry little creature with his eyes following it as if it had a cheat code, while silently reciting a chicken-catching mantra in his mind.

Halfway up the mountain, Chaochao suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Busy searching for her brother, she changed direction and looked for another target.

Because of traffic restrictions today, there weren't many passersby to begin with. The first wave of people catching the bear were exhausted and had to be replaced by the second wave.

Having successfully recited the incantation, Jiang Chi dodged and was only half a meter away from the bear's head.

Then, the bear head, like a robot vacuum cleaner returning to its charging dock after cleaning, stopped precisely in front of the boy in the mascot costume.

"..."

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

It was... a bit of an indescribable shock.

Seeing her stop, Jiang Chi paused for a moment, then grabbed the bear's ears and lifted the hood.

Almost the instant the bear's head was lifted, the little bundle inside suddenly sprang to its feet—

"Yay! I found Brother Bear!"

Chaochao raised her hands high and cheered, her face full of pride, provided you ignored the tear stains on her face.

Jiang Chi, holding the bear's head, was speechless: "..."

How do you come up with an ending pose in just one second?

The onlookers were stunned. It looked like a Michelin-starred chef was serving a dish and then lifting the cover.

Are you sure this brother and sister aren't just messing around?

Jiang Chi sensed genuine suspicion in the eyes of some passersby.

...He is truly innocent.

Changchang wiped away her tears and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Chaochao, it's so good that you're back to normal, sob sob..."

Realizing that she had looked a bit clumsy when she was trapped by the bear's head, Chaochao tried her best to straighten herself up and exonerate herself: "I... I just thought it would be faster to move it this way!"

See, it arrived very quickly, saving us a lot of effort.

The boy in the mascot costume in front of the little dumpling seemed to be stunned by this bizarre operation. He stared blankly at her until Jiang Chi handed him the headgear. Only then did he seem to wake up and hurriedly put the bear head back on.

A barrage of comments from netizens scrolled by.

[This boy doesn't seem to be fifteen years old. Although he's very tall, he looks like he's only twelve or thirteen.]

Wow, kids these days develop so fast? And this boy is only a teenager and he's already so tall!

[It's probably genetics upstairs. Look how skinny she is, shouldn't she be malnourished? (laughing and crying emoji)]

【Oh, this... they're working at such a young age, and isn't that child labor?】

[It's worth mentioning that Chaochao started collecting garbage to support the family when she was only three years old, haha]

Finally, the teddy bear wearing the cover noticed the unusual cream stain on Jiang Chi's hoodie. Although they couldn't see his face, everyone could imagine the boy's pale complexion from his suddenly stiff bear body.

A boy's stumbling voice could be heard coming from beneath the heavy clothing.

"I'm so sorry! I...I..."

The older boy's hoodie looked expensive, and the boy knew he couldn't afford to pay for it, so he kept bowing and apologizing, his voice trembling with tears: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Jiang Chi hadn't said a word about pursuing the matter yet, but this time it was as if he had been dragged away in front of everyone.

Jiang Chi's gaze softened slightly.

The continuous, apologetic apologies reached Old Master Huo's ears. The smile that had appeared on his face disappeared, and he frowned.

Not far behind the old man, Pei Yushen sat in a wheelchair, listening to the trembling, timid apology, his deep black eyes revealing extreme mockery.

The words "I'm sorry" were like a belated winter wind, blowing his memories back to those days and nights when he tossed and turned in pain on his sickbed.

He stared at the teddy bear on the screen, bowing repeatedly, and lowered his eyes expressionlessly.

Standing between her brother and the teddy bear, Chaochao looked left and right, wondering why everyone seemed so bored when the bear's head had been found—it should be a happy thing.

"Just be more careful next time."

Jiang Chi spoke calmly to the boy, then took Chaochao's hand and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the dessert shop manager, who had gotten wind of the situation, rushed over, bowed deeply, and sincerely apologized: "Teacher Jiang, I'm really sorry that our staff's negligence caused you a bad experience."

My god, this is a live stream! He logged on and saw that there are ten million netizens watching online.

The store manager even offered to compensate them.

But Jiang Chi refused, and just as she was about to walk away, she stopped. "By the way, do you know where the flowers the production team is hiding are?"

The employees here might have some clues.

The teddy bear remained silent for a moment, then pointed to a row of flower bushes on the mall's decorative wall: "At noon... I saw someone put something there... That's all I know..."

Jiang Chi was stunned; he hadn't expected there to be a real clue.

He looked in that direction and saw Peng Peng and Xiao Qing walking towards that wall.

Thank you.

After saying that, Jiang Chi, who was in a hurry, grabbed Chaochao's hand and ran over.

Suddenly transforming into a tiny kite, Chaochao's childish voice vibrated: "Brother, run, run slower!"
