"Waaaaah..." Large tears streamed down her smooth face.
She asked helplessly, "Gu Nian, what should we do?" This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Her Xi Xi was always quiet when she cried, and she was easy to comfort and take care of.
Gu Nian gently put her daughter down, picked up the still-crying Luo Heng, and coaxed him softly, "As long as you stop crying, I'll take you to find your mom and dad right now."
The crying stopped abruptly, and Luo Heng looked at him with his big, wet eyes.
Luo Shimiao said anxiously in a breathy voice, "I just promised Manman, how am I going to explain this to her!"
Gu Nian gave her a reassuring look, then turned to the bird perched on the branch: "Little Green, you play with Xi Xi for a while, Miao Miao and I will go find them."
Little Green: "Okay."
He freed one hand and took Luo Shimiao's hand as they strolled around the yard, saying, "Xiao Heng, look where your mom and dad are hiding."
Xiao Luoheng's dark eyes darted around, searching for them.
Luo Shimiao gave Gu Nian a thumbs up, saying that he was indeed an expert at taking care of children.

Seeing this, Little Green picked up the pencil, flapped its wings, and delivered the pencil to it.

Luo Shimiao looked at the chibi-style family of three on the paper, lowered her eyes and gazed tenderly at her daughter: "Xixi, do you like to draw?"
Gu Xi said in her childish voice, "I like it."
"Mom will teach you."
Little Green stood on a branch, looking at the heartwarming scene below, and let out a joyful chirp.
Luo Shimiao held Xiao Xixi's hand and taught her to draw. Gu Nian stood behind them, blocking the sunlight with his body, his gaze on Luo Shimiao tender and affectionate.
She noticed the elongated shadow on the ground and looked back.
Their gazes met in the air, and happy smiles spread across their faces.
It will watch over them as they continue to be happy.
The End.
