nShen Chuchen pinched her round cheeks and completely lost it, “Spit it out! Did you hear me? Hurry up and spit it out!!”

n

nThe little thing puffed her round cheeks as she teared up, she bit the rabbit’s ear stubbornly and replied,

n

n“Wu, no.”

n

nYe Sang was upset.

n

nShe thought her teeth were going to break but Uncle Shen wanted her to spit it out.

n

nShen Chuchen thought he could still save the lantern.

n

nSo he pitched her face until it puffed up, and he almost lost it again when she still refused to let go.

n

n“Ye Sangsang, let go!! Let go!!”

n

nFinally.

n

nUnder Shen Chuchen’s untiring attempts, Ye Sang finally let go of the rabbit ear unwillingly.

n

nThe little thing covered her mouth and looked at the rabbit lantern, her face filled with regret.

n

nThe owner’s forehead throbbed as she saw the missing ear, and her lips twitched.

n

nShe slowly stretched out a hand and smiled, “Sir.”

n

n“May I ask if you have any money on you?”

n

n“……”

n

nShen Chuchen choked on her question.

n

nMoney?

n

nDo big shots like him have any cash on them?

n

nShen Chuchen saw that people were starting to crowd around them, he couldn’t afford to lose his face. He picked up the little girl and passed the delicate rabbit lantern over.

n

nThe man pulled his lips and tried to smile “kindly”.

n

nHe earnestly suggested, “I think….”

n

n“You can save it.”

n

n“…” Those around them immediately fell silent.

n

nThe owner stared at the lantern for a few seconds and sighed at Shen Chuchen, “So you don’t have any money?”

n

nShen Chuchen: “…”

n

nAlthough he hated to admit it.

n

nBut it was the truth.

n

nThe owner gave him a pitiful look, “It’s not easy to raise a child as a single father.”

n

n“Don’t worry, I’ll give the lantern to you for free.”

n

nAfter a pause, she added earnestly: “I’ll make it for free because of your daughter.”

n

nThe owner waved her hands in disdain, gesturing that he could go now.

n

n“…” Shen Chuchen never thought that he, a person who kills people like flies, had to get around something with a child’s face.

n

nThe little thing swayed her head slowly. She immediately butted in after realising that they solved the problem.

n

n“Uncle…Sangsang is hungry.”

n

nShen Chuchen pinched her soft and pale face with one hand, pulling a fake smile on his face as he remembered his empty wallet, “Uncle doesn’t have any money.”

n

nYe Sang: “…”

n

nShe stared at him with her dark eyes and tilted her head to the side in confusion.

n

n“Isn’t uncle a rich child?” The little thing blinked and thought that there was some deviation in her knowledge of Uncle Shen.

n

nShen Chuchen wandered through the downtown area careless with his long legs and held the little girl in his arms skillfully like a full-time father.

n

nHe heard the little thing’s question and his face immediately turned cold, “No.”

n

n“I don’t have any money right now.”

n

nAlthough he didn’t want to admit it.

n

nHe had to admit defeat in this situation.

n

nYe Sang was still unwilling to give up, she leaned in and said, “B-But I’m hungry.”

n

nShen Chuchen: “Bear with it.”

n

nLittle thing: “But I’m hungry.”

n

n“…”

n

nShen Chuchen finally realized that if he didn’t give the little thing a clear explanation, she definitely won’t give up easily.

n

nIt was indeed hard to raise a child.

n

nIt looks like that dog Huo Yao’s past few months have been rather painful.

n

nShen Chuchen exclaimed bitterly.

n

n“I don’t have any money,” The man pursed his lips and stopped himself from ruining it, he continued with the same smile: “Because uncle is too useless.”

n

nA bunch of question marks appeared on Ye Sang’s little head.

n

n“???”

n

nShen Chuchen knew that it was the time to show off his acting skills.

n

n“You are too young to know how hard it is to be an adult,” He lowered his voice fittingly, “Uncle has a group of shadow guards at home.”

n

nAfter a pause, Shen Chuchen added sorrowfully, “But they are rebellious.”

n

nYe Sang: “…”

n

nWhat does rebellious mean?

n

nThe little thing was puzzled but Shen Chuchen continued to show how poor he was, “I don’t only have to raise those rebellious shadow guards, but I have to care for the elders and the young ones at home.”

n

n“I’ve had to carry the weight of my entire family since I was twelve.”

n

n“I can’t even sleep soundly at night because I have to worry about my safety.”

n

n“…”

n

nHe talked for a long time and Ye Sang was muddle-headed from it.

n

n“Uncle can…” She buried her head in his arms and whispered, “Convince people with virtues.”

n

n…Her Mommy loved to do that.

n

nShen Chuchen’s forehead throbbed and refused subconsciously, “No.”

n

nHe sorrowfully replied, “I’m only worthy to be beaten up by others.”

n

nYe Sang: “…”

n

nThe little thing stopped talking awkwardly. The strand of hair on top of her head drooped down and she hugged him, trying to comfort him, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

n

nYe Sang was scared that she’ll hurt her uncle’s pride and obediently stayed quiet.

n

nShe didn’t dare to say that she was hungry, but her eyes were almost glued onto the stalls around her.

n

nShen Chuchen sighed in relief at how obedient she was, but he felt bitter at her envious gaze.

n

nThe man looked away and pressed his tongue against his teeth, planning to call and make his subordinates come and bring them some cash.

n

nA host in a clown’s makeup standing from a circus-like performance stage not far from them suddenly raised his voice and called towards him.

n

n“Is there any audience who would like to play a game with us?”

n

nThe little thing revealed her head.

n

nThe clown’s eyes immediately lit up and quickly approached them, asking her in front of Shen Chuchen.

n

n“Little friend, would you like to play a game with us?”

n

nInstantly, everyone looked towards them.

n

nYe Sang buried her head in Shen Chuchen’s arms shyly under so much attention, she slowly nodded seeing that Shen Chuchen didn’t plan to stop her, “Okay.”

n

nThe clown immediately grinned, “Then please follow me.”

n

nThe little thing wore a white dress and had the little bag she always had on her, she swayed like a little penguin.

n

nShen Chuchen frowned and fixed his gaze on the clown’s back. He felt that the clown looked somewhat familiar for no reason.

n

nThe man stopped himself from grabbing the little girl back and watched from under the stage without blinking.

n

nLogically, there shouldn’t be any problems.

n

nIt’s just a child going on the stage and having some fun.

n

nBut the clown felt too familiar.

n

n…

n

nOn the stage, the clown bent down and smiled, “Little friend, can you perform something?”

n

nHe sounded kind and Ye Sang didn’t feel any bad intention from him at all.

n

nThe little thing nodded heavily, “Yes.”

n

nThe clown passed the mic to her and smiled, “Then will you please perform for us?”

n
