Shen Mo was startled, his fingers lingering on the collar of his coat, and he murmured, "The best in the world?"
An Ci nodded.
"What about the others?"
"Everyone else is behind you."
She answered without hesitation, and Shen Mo felt as if a piece of candy was stuffed into his chest, so sweet that it made him feel a little dizzy.
Everyone else ranks behind him, which means that he is the most important in her heart, she and he are the best in the world, and no one else can compare to him.
Shen Mo raised the corner of his lip and asked, "Do you want to go out and play?"
She hasn't been out of the house recently because of her ankle injury. If Shen Mo hadn't been there to play with her, she would have left the house long ago.
When An Ci heard about going out to play, his eyes lit up, and without asking where to go, he said, "Okay, then I'll go back and change my clothes, you wait for me."
Seeing her turn around and leave in a hurry, Shen Mo curled his lips and walked towards the wardrobe.
…
"Why are you back so soon?" An Lan opened the door and looked at the baby who had run back, with a puzzled look on her face.
She ran all the way here, and she was a little out of breath when she spoke, "I want to go out and play with Shen Mo."
An Lan raised her eyebrows. They made up so quickly?
She asked casually, "Going to the basketball court?"
"We're not going to play in the community. We're going out." An Ci replied quickly and couldn't wait to go upstairs to change clothes.
An Lan's beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Just the two of you?"
An Ci said as he walked up the stairs, "Yes."
"I'll go with you." An Lan was worried about the two children going out, so she said softly, "I'll also send some documents to your father."
Upon hearing this, An Ci readily agreed. She and Shen Mo were too young, and it would be much more convenient to go out with an adult.
The mother and daughter changed their clothes and went out. An Lan was responsible for driving and An Ci sat in the back seat. When she saw the young man standing at the door of Villa No. 3, she waved to him.
Shen Mo came over. He was still wearing the same white sweatshirt. Because he was going out, he put on a black jacket on the outside, which made the coldness between his eyebrows more prominent.
He got in the car and greeted the person in the driver's seat, "Auntie Lan."
An Lan responded, watched him fasten his seat belt, then started the car and left.
"Xiao Mo, Shi Che hasn't come back yet?"
Shen Mo hummed, "He said he would be back in the evening."
Shi Che was often missing, sometimes for several days at a time, and Shen Mo was used to it.
He suddenly thought of something, glanced at the little thing beside him who was immersed in watching the scenery outside the window, and asked in a low voice, "Where's your phone?"
An Ci retracted his gaze and turned to meet his obsidian eyes. "What do you want?"
"Lend it to me for a moment," he said.
An Ci took out his cell phone from his coat pocket, unlocked it and handed it to him.
Shen Mo took the phone and slid his finger across the screen. An Ci looked closer curiously.
She froze when she saw that he had marked him as a star friend.
"What are you doing with this?"
"The reward for helping you win the game." Shen Mo looked at himself as her only star-marked friend, a satisfied smile flashing in his eyes.
An Ci finally understood what he meant by "something that can be done with just a flick of the finger." This turned out to be what he meant.
She couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't realized he had such a childish side.
Shen Mo returned the phone to her and whispered in her ear, "I've set it up for you too, so you're not allowed to do this to others."
An Ci raised the corner of his mouth, "I know, I know."
There are quite a lot of little thoughts.
Upon learning that his wife was coming to deliver documents, Song Xiunian asked his secretary to wait downstairs. After An Lan handed the documents to the secretary, he drove away.
After a while, An Lan brought the two children to the largest shopping mall in the imperial capital.
Shen Mo was not very interested in this kind of place, but An Ci was here for the first time and found everything new and interesting.
Following An Lan into a brand children's clothing store, the salesgirl inside probably recognized her mother and immediately came up to greet her when she saw her.
"Mrs. Song." After greeting with a smile, she stood quietly behind An Lan.
An Lan is a VIP customer of their store and spends a large sum of money every time she comes. However, when she is choosing things, she doesn't like others chattering in her ears about them unless she asks.
An Lan glanced at An Ci, then at Shen Mo, then continued to look at the rows of hanging clothes, reaching out and picking up one piece after another.
The salesgirl took it attentively, smiling so much that the corners of her mouth were about to split.
It seems that she doesn't have to worry about her performance in the next three months.
An Ci was not interested in new clothes, but when he saw the dessert shop diagonally across the street, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mom, let's go to the dessert shop across the street and be back soon."
An Lan glanced at the dessert shop not far from here and nodded, "Don't run around."
"I understand." An Ci pulled Shen Mo out.
After watching them walk into the dessert shop, An Lan withdrew her gaze and continued to pick out clothes.
When I walked into the dessert shop, maybe because it had just opened, there were not many people inside and it was a bit deserted.
An Ci immediately spotted the claw machine inside. Shen Mo saw her sparkling eyes and raised the corner of his lip, "Which one do you want?"
An Ci raised his eyes to look at him, "Can you pick whichever one I want?"
Shen Mo nodded seriously, "Okay."
So confident?
An Ci raised an eyebrow, glanced at the various dolls in the claw machine, and pointed, "That little white bear."
Shen Mo said okay, walked to the counter, and took out a red banknote from his pocket to exchange for change.
After inserting the coin, he touched the joystick with one hand and placed the other hand on the button.
An Ci watched as the mechanical claw grabbed the little white bear from a pile of dolls, and then the claw moved towards the access port, and Shen Mo withdrew his hand.
The next moment, he saw the little white bear fall out of the access port, and An Ci widened his eyes in surprise.
Is it that simple?
Shen Mo bent down and picked up the little white bear. "Which one do you want?"
An Ci looked at him and said, "I want to try it too."
"Okay." Shen Mo smiled and helped her toss the coin. "Let's play."
In order to take care of some younger children, the dessert shop placed a small stool next to the claw machine. An Ci stood on the stool, and Shen Mo stood beside her, protecting her with one hand behind her.
An Ci reached out to touch the joystick and tried to grab the doll by imitating Shen Mo's previous movements, but the doll fell as soon as he grabbed it.
She finally understood what it meant to end at the beginning.
"Try again." Shen Mo smiled, took out a coin and continued to toss.
An Ci gathered himself together and stared at the mechanical claw seriously.
However, the result was the same: the doll fell as soon as it was moved.
