After Ah Chi rubbed against Chao Chao, his horse-like face suddenly shoved right into her cheek, startling Chao Chao into quickly closing her eyes.

From her unseen perspective.

The horse gently licked her tear-stained eyelashes.

The herdsmen were stunned.

How did this ancestor, who had the fiercest temper and the worst disposition, become... uh... so dog-like?

Achi licked it twice and then turned away.

Chaochao's eyelashes trembled as she cautiously opened her eyes.

Achi snorted at her, but much less forcefully than the previous two times.

Her eyes suddenly brightened, but she wasn't quite sure what they meant: "You...do you want me to touch you?"

The red horse glanced at her with its amber pupils, then remained silent. Instead, it lowered its neck slightly and landed beside the little dumpling's hand.

As Chaochao extended her right hand, Akama raised her neck to look over and let out a low, dissatisfied neigh, but the sound was low and muffled, not enough to frighten the child.

"..."

Jiang Chi raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression a mixture of bewilderment and absurdity.

You would actually be disgusted by your own saliva?

...Wait, how does he know what the horse is thinking?

Receiving Achi's look, Chaochao immediately withdrew her right hand. Tears still clung to her cheeks as she gave a simple, honest smile. "Then I'll use the other hand~"

Her small hand first touched the soft, smooth mane, then moved to the horse's cheek and nose. The red horse had thin skin and fine hair, and when her palm touched it, she could feel the supple muscles under the skin and the faintly surging red veins. The texture of the muscles was as pleasing to the eye as a work of art.

"So we're good friends now, Bao... Bao Bao Achi?" The cheerful Chaochao was about to call Baoli by his first instinct, but after a sudden stop, he had a brilliant idea and gave her her nickname.

Upon hearing the nickname, Achi let out a seemingly disgusted snort, while Chaochao happily wrapped her arms around Chima's neck: "Baby Achi, then we're good partners! That's great, I have a little pony friend now! And let me tell you, I also have a partner in the ocean..."

The little girl chatted happily with the red horse, unaware that her affectionate behavior shocked many local herders who raised the horses.

Is this the docile and cuddly Darya that lets you touch and hug him?

Hao Guoli looked at them hesitantly.

Is this the horse you were talking about that has the fiercest temperament?

The herdsman who first introduced Jiang Chi and the others wiped his sweat with a cloth, smiled blankly at Hao Guoli, and had only one thought in his mind.

Damn it, their bravest and most unruly horse seems to have completely turned into a dog...

Lei Bao, a little boy standing nearby, looked on with envy.

Hao Guoli glanced at his son: "Do you want to touch it too? We can find one that's not so fierce."

Otherwise, given how many times Chaochao was injured just now, they wouldn't be able to handle such intense attacks.

Lei Bao shook his head and sighed, "I really want to be touched by Chao Chao too..."

Hao Guoli, wondering if he had misheard: "?"

In just one minute, the battle between the two sides took an unexpected turn, much to the delight of the viewers in the live stream.

Even casual viewers who weren't initially fans of the siblings found themselves spending a lot of time watching their live streams. They usually said they'd only watch for a quick glance, but before they knew it, an entire afternoon had passed...

There's no way around it, this is just too dramatic, it just won't stop!

[Chaochao, you know we still love you so much even though you don't have little hands, so when can Auntie give you a kiss?! Frustrated.jpg]

[After conquering the cattle pen, Chaochao has now subdued the fiercest horse on the grassland. (dog head emoji)]

[Waaaaah, my treasure Chaochao, has she finally been discovered by the ox and horse? QAQ Mommy fan is ecstatic!]

[Upstairs, your love is so deep!]

Huo Qin leaned back in the leather sofa chair, his long, slender hands clasped together. His calm gaze fell on the scene of Chao Chao and Chi Ma embracing on the screen, and flickered slightly.

The corners of his lips slowly curved into a barely perceptible arc.

When Huo invested in "Liang Beibei", the only requirement was that the filming locations be as diverse and distinctive as possible, while ensuring safety.

Letting her experience different scenarios firsthand is also a way to let her say goodbye to the shadows of the past.

The only flaw is that she's with the unreliable Jiang Chi.

Huo Qin lowered his eyes and made a nonchalant "tsk" sound.

In the same variety show live broadcast room, in the VIP ward of Songhe Hospital.

Pei Yu leaned against the headboard, his dark eyes intently watching the scene on TV where the little dumpling was interacting amicably with the animals. His slender fingers unconsciously rubbed the candy wrapper, as if it had been etched into his muscles after countless repetitions.

The boy was mostly expressionless, only occasionally revealing a fleeting smile while watching the live stream.

As expected of her, she lives life to the fullest wherever she goes.

Shu Han sat quietly peeling an apple at the coffee table, afraid that she would make a sound and break the rare peaceful atmosphere.

She cut the apple into pieces and placed them in a fruit bowl, silently setting them on the bedside table. Although Pei Yushen hardly ever ate any, Shu Han still insisted on peeling one for him every day, just like the two months after Pei Yushen's accident, when those habits seemed to have been ingrained in her bones.

After Shu Han put down the fruit plate, she was about to leave, but the boy's clear, slightly hoarse voice called her back.

Leave the knife behind.

Shu Han turned around in surprise, her hand gripping the ceramic knife suddenly tightening. "Ah Shen, you...you..."

She wanted to say "What do you want to do?" or "Don't do anything rash," but she was afraid of hurting the child's feelings, so she moved her lips but didn't say it.

Pei Yushen calmly looked back at her, his gaze indifferent and even gradually regaining its former clarity, almost accompanied by a sigh: "I will not hurt myself."
