Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

With a moment of blurred vision, Lu Yao felt as if she had been in a very dark place in the blink of an eye.

There is no light, no wind, and it is completely quiet all around; there is not a sound.

Not finding her father's presence nearby, the little girl instinctively looked around for him.

She clearly remembered being held in her father's arms, so how come she was all alone now?

Her little mouth twitched, tears were already welling up in her eyes, and she was about to cry.

Fortunately, at that moment, a pair of warm arms gently lifted her up.

"Little girl, why are you crying?"

Her voice was gentle, carrying a reassuring power.

Lu Yao opened her eyes and saw a handsome face.

The woman before me was wearing a red dress, the hem of which seemed to melt into light, gleaming with a faint warm glow in the darkness, as if she were the only source of light in this darkness.

Lu Yao sniffled, tears still clinging to her eyelashes.

"Sister, have you seen my poop?"

"Your father is outside, I didn't let him in," Su Yinghong said, gently patting the back of the little one in her arms.

"Why won't you let Daddy in?" the little girl asked, puzzled.

"Naturally, it's because your father is unreliable." Su Yinghong's face darkened slightly.

A barely perceptible hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

That silly boy couldn't even tell that someone had tampered with his daughter's body, and he was still happily taking his child around everywhere.

Lu Yao was still young and didn't understand the deeper meaning in Su Yinghong's words. He only felt that "incompetent" was not a good word.

Just as she was about to retort, Su Yinghong's expression softened again, and she pinched her little cheek.

"Also, according to seniority, you should call me Great-Grandma."

"Great-grandmother?" Lu Yao tilted her head, as if processing this unfamiliar title. After a short while, she said seriously, "Is your sister called Great-grandmother? My name is Lu Yao."

"Lu Yao..."

Su Yinghong softly repeated the name, a slight smile curving her lips.

"The name is quite nice, but your father chose it rather casually."

"What's your great-grandmother's name?" the little girl asked again.

"Me? My name is Su Yinghong. Yinghong is the same as the lotus flower reflecting the sun, which is exceptionally red." Su Yinghong's voice carried a hint of a smile.

"Wow!"

Although the little girl didn't understand the meaning of the poem at all, she thought it was very impressive, and her eyes lit up.

Su Yinghong shook her head, not caring what the other woman was marveling at.

She has taken care of many children and is very experienced, so she naturally knows that this is how little kids of this age are.

The more you explain to her, the more confused she becomes. It's better to let her figure it out on her own.

She put Lu Yao down, let her stand in front of her, squatted down to look her in the eye, and gently stroked her little head with her palm.

"Yaoyao, your great-grandmother is giving you a little something to say goodbye. I hope you grow up healthy and safe."

"Thank you, Great-Grandma!" Lu Yao said sweetly.

Upon hearing the word "great-grandmother," Su Yinghong's lips curled up, clearly pleased.

She flipped her palm, and a golden ball of light appeared in her hand. The light was warm and soft, like a small sun slowly rotating in the darkness, illuminating Lu Yao's face.

"Wow……"

Lu Yao stared, completely captivated by the scene before him.

"Great-Grandma, what is this?" The little girl was extremely curious. She pointed to the golden light but didn't dare to reach out and touch it.

"This is the system," Su Yinghong said.

Lu Yao couldn't understand at all and repeated the unfamiliar word.

"It's alright if you don't understand. Just ask your father when you get out. He knows." Su Yinghong didn't explain further, and then changed the subject, "Alright, Great-Grandma will see you out now."

Although she was reluctant to part with the lively and adorable little guy, Su Yinghong didn't linger.

Anyway, once this little girl grows up, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet her in the future.

With a gentle tap of her fingertip, the golden ball of light disappeared into Lu Yao's brow.
