My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

Lin Ye felt as if something extremely soft had struck his heart.

He knelt down, reached out, and pulled her into his arms.

The little one's hair brushed against his cheek, carrying the fresh scent of shampoo and the faint smell of hay from the pet store.

"It's a good thing that my godfather met Xiao Douzi," he said, his voice low and gentle, each word seemingly vibrating directly from his chest.

"That's lucky for my godfather too!"

After saying this, Lin Ye gently loosened his grip on the small bag, placed his hands on her small shoulders, and looked directly into her eyes.

"Since you want to raise Xiaodouzi—" He raised his hand and gently rubbed the small patch of dampness at the corner of her eye with his thumb.

"How about when spring comes, your godfather takes you to pick out a kitten that you like?"

He paused for a moment, then proposed another solution.

"Or perhaps, Little Douzi prefers raisins? If you can't bear to part with it, Godfather can ask the curator here if we can take it home."

Xiao Douzi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, Godfather." Her voice was soft, but firm.

"Raisin is doing very well here. It has its own feline friends and the staff takes care of it. If I take it away, it won't be as happy here."

"So—" She looked up at Lin Ye again, her eyes curving slightly.

"Little Douzi, let's go pick out a kitten with your godfather in the spring! Let's pick out a kitten named Little Douzi!"

Lin Ye looked at her eyes, which had brightened again, and reached out to pat her head.

"Okay." He said, then stood up, took Xiaodouzi's hand, and followed Duoduo and Mu Chenfeng, who were waiting not far away. The group walked back towards the exit.

Xiao Douzi and Duo Duo walked at the front.

The two women held hands, each with their new dolls hanging from their bags, swaying with the rhythm of their walk.

Push open the glass door to the exit.

Instantly, a blast of cold air hit me, and the sky outside had already darkened.

When I went in, it was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly. Now it's evening, and the distant horizon has been burned into a surging orange-red ocean by the setting sun.

The clouds changed from orange to pink to gray-blue, with distinct layers that blended together, like someone had spilled a whole box of watercolors in the sky and let the paint slowly spread.

The streetlights on the road have already turned on, casting round halos of warm yellow light on the ground.

Little Douzi stood at the door and took a deep breath.

The air was cool on a winter evening, carrying a dry chill and the smell of cooking smoke drifting from who-knows-where as it filled my lungs.

Once inside the car, the moment the door closed, all the coolness was shut out.

The car's heater was on, the seat heating was just right, and a faint scent of leather mixed with the car's air freshener filled my nostrils.

The incense has a light cedarwood scent, gentle and calming.

A thin layer of white fog quickly covered the car window, turning the glow of the streetlights and neon lights outside into a blurry, warm color.

As soon as Xiaodouzi got on the bus, he shrank into his seat, pulled a small blanket over himself, and covered himself up to his chin, leaving only half of his face exposed.

Lin Ye glanced in that direction.

Little Douzi's eyelids started to droop, one after another, and it looked like they were about to close completely.

He instructed the system to shut down the live stream, and the system then settled the account.

After glancing at the shock points he had gained, Lin Ye stopped caring about them and turned his head slightly to listen to Xiao Douzi's casual conversation.

"Godfather... what should we name Little Sheep...?" Her voice was muffled, as if it came through a layer of cotton.

"Little Douzi, let's name it."

"Hmm...or...let's call it...Little Horn, because its horns are small..."

Xiao Douzi's voice grew softer and softer, the last word swallowed by a yawn, and then there was no more sound, only the sound of steady breathing.

Lin Ye reached out and pulled the blanket around her a little tighter, looking at her peaceful sleeping face with tender eyes.

Yao Jingyuan is dead, and Shu Jingwei has also fallen from power.

As for those aristocratic families involved in Ye Fan's affairs, their property has been confiscated, some have been exiled, and Old Ye's revenge has been almost fully avenged.

With the books and steel bars Wang Meng provided, the rest was up to them.

He has no interest in managing how a country develops, nor is it necessary for him.

The Great Flame Kingdom has its own destiny, and he has his own days to live.

He would continue to send steel bars over until the precision manufacturing plant expanded and the steel mill came in handy, as a reward for all the shock points they had gained.

Now he only has one thing to do, which is to raise Xiaodouzi well.

Of course, this is also the main task the system gave him.

However, if we say that before it was because of the mission, or because she was Ye Fan's daughter, that she decided to raise Xiao Douzi.

So now, after these past few months, I've been completely captivated by Xiaodouzi's cuteness and obedience.

Lin Ye has truly come to regard Xiao Douzi as his own daughter.

She is not just an adopted daughter, nor is she "the orphan of a good brother," nor is she a main quest assigned to her by the system.

It was his daughter, his only and most beloved daughter!

Lin Ye wanted to give her the best, so that she could grow up carefree, healthy, and happy for the rest of her life.

He won't make all the decisions for her, but every time she makes a decision, she can look back and see him!

……

The weekend passed quickly, and Monday arrived again.

In the afternoon, Lin Ye went to pick up Xiao Douzi from school as usual.

The sycamore trees in front of Jintaiyang Kindergarten have lost all their leaves.

The cold wind swept away the last few withered leaves, leaving only bare branches stretching towards the gray sky.

The little bag came out by running.

She carried a small backpack, swinging a sheep charm around on the zipper pull, and her boots made a dull thud on the concrete floor.

"Godfather, godfather, godfather!!" Little Douzi started chattering to Lin Ye beside him as soon as he got into the car.

"Teacher Su said today that the kindergarten will be holding a 'Little Hands Create the Future' parent-child craft creativity competition this Friday!"

"We'd like to invite parents to do crafts with the kids! How about Godfather come too?"

Lin Ye looked down at her upturned little face, her nose was a little red from the cold, and her eyes were bright and full of expectation.

"Friday morning?" Lin Ye raised an eyebrow to confirm.

"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" Little Douzi nodded so fast that his afterimage was almost visible, and the fur trim on the hood of his down jacket trembled with each nod.

"Great! Godfather will accompany our little dumpling to the competition, and we'll win the championship together!" Lin Ye readily agreed.

Little Douzi suddenly cheered, "Great!"

"What does Xiaodouzi want to do?" Lin Ye pulled her into his arms and asked her with great interest.

The car turned off the tree-lined road, its wheels crunching over a small patch of frost that hadn't yet melted, making a soft, rustling sound.

"Pet park!" Little Douzi shouted almost as soon as he finished speaking.

"I want to be a lamb, and Totoro, and a hairless cat, and a Bichon Frise... so many things!"

Friday arrived quietly, much to Xiaodouzi's anticipation.
