Reaching the door, Su Ruojin breathed a sigh of relief. Behind the crack in the door, Xiao Bao stared out with his big eyes.
Upon seeing Su Ruojin return, Xiao Bao immediately took a few steps back.
Su Ruojin gently pushed open the door, squatted down, and asked softly, "Xiaobao, your sister is back. Are you feeling any better now?"
Xiao Bao nodded gently, his eyes no longer filled with fear, but rather curiosity.
Seeing her child like this, Su Ruojin felt a little relieved. It seemed that Xiao Bao's mental illness was not as serious as she had thought, but rather that he had suffered some kind of psychological trauma.
What has this young child gone through?
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Shall I take Xiaobao home now? Can Xiaobao tell me where your home is?"
Xiao Bao shook his head and reached out to pull on her skirt.
Su Ruojin had a bit of a headache. Did this child not remember where his home was?
The clothes this child is wearing are made of brocade, which is called "brocade gold." A child who can afford to wear such clothes must not be of ordinary birth.
Su Ruojin sighed. She couldn't just abandon her child like that.
Alright, alright, let's take him with us for now. It won't be difficult for the Dark Pavilion to find his family later.
"Would you like to come home with your sister? Once your sister finds your family, she can send you back."
Xiao Bao's eyes brightened slightly, and he nodded gently.
Su Ruojin took Xiaobao's hand and walked out of the Moon Gazing Tower.
Today's consultation meeting at Juxianlou is a big event for Yanyang City. Many vendors have come to the scene and set up a market. At this time, the streets are full of various stalls.
As Xiao Bao was walking, he suddenly stopped and stared blankly into the distance.
Su Ruojin followed his gaze and saw a cotton candy vendor surrounded by many children.
"Want some cotton candy?" Su Ruojin asked softly.
Xiao Bao didn't say anything, but just stared intently at the uncle selling cotton candy.
Su Ruojin led Xiaobao to the vendor's stall: "Uncle, give me a cotton candy."
"Alright." The uncle took the coin and handed Su Ruojin a rabbit-shaped cotton ball.
Su Ruojin took the cotton candy, bent down and handed it to Xiaobao, but Xiaobao just looked at it and didn't reach out to take it.
Su Ruojin said softly, "Take it, you can eat this."
The marshmallows are delicate and won't upset a child's stomach.
Xiao Bao still didn't move, and Su Ruojin wasn't in a hurry, looking at him encouragingly.
After a while, Xiao Bao slowly raised his hand to take the cotton candy, and then handed it to Su Ruojin. His big, watery eyes stared at Su Ruojin with a hint of determination in them.
Is this a way of letting me eat first?
Su Ruojin understood what Xiaobao meant and felt a warmth in her heart. She raised her hand and patted Xiaobao's head: "Xiaobao, eat. Sister won't eat."
Xiao Bao then gently licked the marshmallow.
It's very sweet.
Xiao Bao narrowed his beautiful big eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
Just then, a woman dressed as a nanny rushed towards the two of them and grabbed Xiaobao, saying, "Oh my, my little master, this old servant has finally found you! Come back with me quickly. Oh dear, how could you eat this kind of thing? It's filthy, throw it away!"
