In a remote corner of the city, Jiang Zhi lives in a temporary shelter with twins Jiang Yue and Jiang Yu. Despite the dangers lurking in the outside world and the shadow of a mysterious organization, Jiang Zhi strives to create warmth and peace for her children in this small world.
The morning sun filtered through the dappled curtains, spilling into the simple room. Like a little angel, Jiang Yue rolled over in her small bed, sitting up sleepily, rubbing her eyes and mumbling, "Mom, Mom." Jiang Zhi had already woken up and was sitting by the bed, sorting through some documents. Hearing her daughter's call, she immediately put down her things, gently hugged Jiang Yue, and whispered, "Good morning, little Yueyue." Jiang Yue hugged her mother's neck and coquettishly said, "Mom, I want to hear a story." Jiang Zhi smiled and nodded, then began to tell an ancient, fantastical fairy tale. Her voice was soft and moving, and Jiang Yue listened intently, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement.
At this time, Jiang Yu, who was in the next room, was sitting on the floor, concentrating on fiddling with a pile of educational building blocks. His little brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was thinking about how to build the ideal shape in his mind. After Jiang Zhi finished telling the story, he gently put Jiang Yue down, stood up and walked towards Jiang Yu's room. She stood at the door, looking at her son's serious look, her heart filled with relief. "Yu'er, what are you doing?" Jiang Zhi asked softly. Jiang Yu raised his head and saw his mother, a bright smile appeared on his face, "Mom, I'm building a castle. When it's built, we can live in it and we won't be afraid of bad guys." Jiang Zhi's heart ached, and she walked over, squatted down, and started fiddling with building blocks with her son. While teaching Jiang Yu how to make the castle more stable, she encouraged him to use his imagination and add various decorations to the castle.
In the afternoon, the sunlight became softer. Jiang Zhi took Jiang Yue and Jiang Yu to the small yard behind the residence. Although it was simple, there were several unknown small flowers growing tenaciously in the corner of the wall. Seeing the flowers, Jiang Yue ran over excitedly and squatted down to observe them carefully. Jiang Zhi followed behind and patiently explained to her the colors, shapes and growth habits of the flowers. Jiang Yu became interested in a large stone in the yard. He tried to push it to see if there were any insects underneath. Jiang Zhi looked at her son's actions, feeling both worried and amused. She kept an eye on him to make sure Jiang Yu would not get hurt.
After playing in the yard for a while, Jiang Zhi brought the children back inside. She decided to teach Jiang Yue some singing and dancing. Jiang Yue was so happy she danced with joy. Jiang Zhi played a cheerful nursery rhyme, took Jiang Yue's hand, and gently swayed her body to the rhythm. Jiang Yue tried hard to follow her mother's movements. Although a little clumsy, she was full of childlike innocence and cuteness. She wiggled her little bottom while singing the off-key nursery rhyme, making Jiang Zhi laugh. Jiang Yu, watching from the side, couldn't help but clap along to the rhythm.
In the evening, Jiang Zhi began preparing dinner. Despite limited ingredients, she always tried her best to create nutritious meals for her children. Jiang Yue followed her mother like a little tail, curiously watching her wash and chop vegetables. Jiang Zhi would occasionally hand Jiang Yue a carrot or a leaf, asking her to help place it on the plate. Jiang Yu, meanwhile, meticulously set the table, diligently ensuring each bowl and chopstick was neatly arranged.
At dinner, Jiang Zhi watched the children eat with gusto, her heart filled with joy. Jiang Yue's mouth was full of rice grains, like a little cat. Jiang Zhi smiled and wiped her mouth clean with a tissue, but Jiang Yue playfully leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek, leaving a small rice grain mark. As Jiang Yu ate, he shared with his mother his discoveries from play that day, such as a colorful butterfly he saw or a small snail under a rock. Jiang Zhi listened attentively, responding to his son's words from time to time, and the whole room was filled with a warm atmosphere.
However, warm moments are always short-lived. At night, after the children had fallen asleep, Jiang Zhi sat alone by the window, gazing out at the dark night sky, her thoughts drifting back to revenge. She knew the fight against the mysterious organization continued, and she couldn't let up even a little. But every time she saw the innocent faces of the children, she was filled with conflict and struggle. She feared her actions would bring harm to the children, but she couldn't give up her determination to avenge her loved ones.
In a world full of dangers and challenges, Jiang Zhi's heartwarming moments with her children are like a ray of light in the darkness, giving her strength and courage. She knows that no matter how difficult the road ahead, she must remain strong for her children.
