The toilet was deserted.

Outside the door, an anxious man stared at the construction sign and sighed in despair, while inside, three fish, like pieces of meat being tormented, twitched intermittently.

Apart from Cobra, the other two finally slowly regained consciousness, removed the sack and tore off the ropes, but they couldn't untie the shoelaces that were tied in a tight knot.

Finally, under the strange stares of the dessert shop staff and a group of customers, the three men, their faces stiff, picked up their shoes and quickly slunk away barefoot.

When Jiang Chi waited until Chaochao came running out of the restroom, he sighed softly, "Didn't you say you were only going for a little while?"

The cold-blooded assassin solemnly declared, "The plan has changed, and the timeframe has been extended."

"..." Jiang Chi's gaze swept over the bodyguard behind the little dumpling, whose expression was complicated. His thoughts were racing, but he didn't say anything more. "It's not easy to park here. The driver will wait for us on that road."

So they have to walk a distance to that intersection to get on the bus.

Pei Yushen doesn't need to leave; everything can be arranged.

Chaochao had no objections; she couldn't wait to take more walks with her brothers.

At this moment, the little dumpling, holding Jiang Chi's hand in one hand and Pei Yushen's hand in the other, swayed his head and sang a victory song:

"I want to eat candy and little cakes~ I want to be smarter and smarter~~ I've been thinking about the meaning of life~ and realized I'm really amazing~ I can't help but burst into song~~"

After singing a song, Chaochao was really thirsty. She took Jiang Chi and Pei Yushen's hands together and said, "Brothers, you two hold hands first, I'll have a sip of water first."

Jiang Chi and Pei Yushen: "..."

As the little dumpling buried her head to get the small water bottle from her bag, the two of them, with cold expressions, quickly separated their hands as if they had been electrocuted.

"Water, water, water..."

Chaochao, still muttering to herself, picked up her water glass and was about to gulp it down when Jiang Chi, sensing something was amiss, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. But by then it was too late. "Wait..."

Splash—

The water glass was pressed against her mask, almost as if she had just washed her face.

When the cool water splashed on her face, Chaochao was still quite bewildered.

Why isn't the water flowing into her mouth today? Did she not open up?

"You forgot to take off your mask."

Jiang Chi, unable to suppress a laugh, bent down to help the bewildered Chaochao remove her mask, took out a tissue to wipe her wet little face, and sighed as he did so, "What a silly little thing..."

Pei Yushen couldn't help but lower his head, and no one could see the corners of his mouth that he was trying to suppress.

Just as Chaochao was realizing what was happening, upon hearing Jiang Chi's remark, she immediately opened her almond-shaped eyes wide and declared to herself, "Brother, I'm not a little fool, I'm very smart!"

Today I aspire to be a very intelligent person, but I can't stand hearing the word "stupid".

“Mmm, you’re not stupid, I misspoke.” Jiang Chi, busy wiping his face, echoed her earnestly, “Come on, tilt your head back.”

How come it's flowing down my neck?

Obediently tilting her head back, Chaochao was dissatisfied with her brother's perfunctory answer. She turned her attention to another brother, her two small, dark nostrils pointing directly at Pei Yushen: "Brother Yushen, do you think I'm stupid? No, I'm not stupid, right?"

The child's melancholy voice carried a hint of frustration at being unappreciated.

Pei Yushen raised his face again, his expression as calm and composed as ever. He said, "Not stupid. He can do addition and subtraction within twenty."

Pei Yushen was telling the truth.

That's really rare for a child of this age.

Upon receiving affirmation, Chaochao immediately beamed with joy. Pei Yu looked at her closely, and even her two little nostrils seemed to turn into the shape of small hearts. She squinted her eyes and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "That's right, that's right, Chaochao is amazing!"

Jiang Chi managed to dry his damp, tousled hair until it was half dry, then got up and threw the wet tissue into the trash can. After hesitating for a while, he decided not to put a new mask back on Chaochao, as he felt a bit stifled by her constant talking.

Anyway, we'll be getting on the bus soon.

Chaochao, who was being held by Jiang Chi, took Pei Yushen's hand, which was hanging over the side of his wheelchair, and muttered, "Brother Yushen, don't forget to hold my hand..."

At this moment, the system conjured a mirror out of thin air.

Hey bodyguard pushing the wheelchair, don't you think that the smile on your face is a little too obvious?

Feeling the soft warmth in his palm, as if he could hold it forever, Pei Yushen replied very softly, "I understand..."

The murmur was so soft that no one could hear it, yet it resonated loudly within his chest.

I just solved my thirst, but a new problem has arisen.

Chaochao got tired after walking a few steps.

The afternoon recording session was mostly on the go. After eating dessert and reprimanding those middle schoolers, I didn't sit down again, not to mention there was a challenging action scene. Now my calves are starting to ache.

Originally walking upright between her two older brothers, Chaochao gradually hunched over, like a primal version of a Darwinian evolutionary diagram. Finally, she stopped, hands on her knees, and cried, "Brothers... I can't walk anymore... I... I can't walk anymore..."

It's about 100 meters away; just around the corner.

Jiang Chi had already stretched out his arms, ready to pick up the little dumpling and leave—

With her hands on her knees, Chaochao blinked her large, bright eyes, looking hesitantly at the quiet boy on the other side.

"Brother Yushen, can I ride in your little car?"

Jiang Chi: "...Heh."

He naturally crossed his outstretched arms over his chest.

Pei Yu's lips, in shades of light and dark, parted slightly. His dark eyes stared at Chao Chao in astonishment. He remained silent for a long while, his jade-like fingers loosely clenching together.

Receiving no answer for a long time, Chaochao's bright eyes gradually dimmed, and she sighed with deep regret, "Is it not possible?"
