Song Yuli looked down and saw Nan Luotong, with a bright hibiscus flower in her hair, running towards him with her little hands outstretched.

Seeing that Nan Luotong was covered in dirt, Xiaoping was about to stop her, but Song Yuli stopped her.

She let Nan Luotong hug her leg, a gentle smile on her lips.

"Auntie, is it pretty?"

Song Yuli squatted down and reached out to wipe the dirt off Nan Luotong's face: "Beautiful, our Tongtong is more beautiful than flowers."

At such a young age, Nan Luotong naturally didn't understand the meaning of "more beautiful than flowers," but she knew that Song Yuli was definitely praising her, so she smiled even more happily.

Upon seeing this, Song Yuli's heart stirred.

"Tongtong, shall Auntie take a picture of you?"

Xiao Ping, who was standing to the side, frowned upon hearing this and looked at Nan Luotong with some concern.

Nan Luotong was taken aback, and a look of resistance appeared on her face.

Song Yuli frowned slightly and pursed her cherry lips.

Tongtong definitely has a problem.

In fact, Song Yuli had noticed this morning that Nan Luotong was a particularly insecure child, because this morning, no matter where she went, Tongtong would follow her closely.

And last night, the first time Tongtong saw her, she rushed up to her and asked if she was her mother. Song Yuli was very suspicious that Nan Luotong might not have a mother.

With a forced smile, Song Yuli feigned disappointment and said, "Tongtong doesn't want to? Auntie wanted to take a picture with you."

Noticing Song Yuli's disappointment, Nan Luotong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Song Yuli and said, "Just one picture?"

Song Yuli's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, Auntie would never lie to Tongtong, Auntie swears!"

After saying that, he held up three fingers as if making a vow.

Upon seeing this, Nan Luotong pounced over and said, "Okay, just one picture."

Upon hearing this, Song Yuli happily took out his phone, opened the camera, adjusted the lighting, and handed the phone to Xiaoping.

"Xiaoping, here you go. Remember to take good pictures of us."

After saying that, she hugged Nan Luotong and taught her how to make the peace sign.

With a "click," a beautiful scene was captured on the phone screen.

Song Yuli took the phone, dismissed Nan Luotong, and spoke casually.

"I haven't seen Tongtong's mother since I arrived yesterday. Where is Tongtong's mother? Is she too busy with work to spend time with Tongtong?"

Xiaoping was immediately put in a difficult position upon hearing this.

She looked at Nan Luotong picking flowers not far away, her lips slightly pursed.

"No, the young lady doesn't have a mother."

Upon hearing this, Song Yuli frowned.

She guessed right.

"I heard that the young master found the young lady in an orphanage when she was less than a month old."

...

Looking at Nan Luotong sleeping soundly on the bed, Song Yuli couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

No wonder Tongtong is already five years old and still hasn't gone to school; it turns out that Tongtong has autism.

According to Xiaoping, Tongtong was very smart when she was three years old, so Nan Linxiao sent her to preschool. However, the older children in the preschool, who were already quite sensible, somehow found out that Tongtong didn't have a mother, and they often bullied her. Gradually, Tongtong became less and less talkative.

Not long after, Nan Linxiao learned about this and took Nan Luotong back from school, keeping her with Qi Peihua.
