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

The glowing colored lights in the square and the white snow on the ground reflected each other, making the entire amusement park even brighter than before the snow fell, as if a soft-focus filter had been added.

The Ferris wheel's entrance and exit are in the same place, which is very spacious and has a roof to block snow.

Lin Ye unbuttoned his coat, pulled the small pocket to the front, and then wrapped her up completely with the front of the coat.

From the outside, all you could see was her fair, delicate face peeking out from under the hem of her coat, her bright eyes darting around, staring at the snowflakes dancing in the lamplight.

As Lin Ye's body temperature gradually returned, Xiao Douzi felt as if she had been placed inside a portable heater, which was extremely warm.

She could hear the steady heartbeat in her godfather's chest, a sound that blended with the wind and snow outside, making her feel exceptionally at ease.

They waited a short while before Duoduo and Aunt Li came out.

Duoduo paused for a moment when she saw their posture, then couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her laughter was crisp and loud, and the yellow pom-pom on the top of her hat shook several times with her laughter.

"It looks like Uncle Lin's coat has a face on it! Or maybe it's Ling'er's face, hahaha!"

The little dumpling chuckled twice and popped out, bringing with it a small gust of warm air.

She walked over to Duoduo, and together they reached the edge of the exit. Above them were eaves sheltering them from the snow, and in front of them, snowflakes danced in the air.

The two of them reached out their little hands at the same time and started catching snowflakes to play with.

Two small hands are raised side by side in the air, one pair is slightly larger and the other is whiter.

As soon as a snowflake landed in Duoduo's palm, she immediately pulled it back to look.

But the temperature in her palm was too high, and the snowflake melted into a drop of water before it even had a second to live. She muttered, "Oh dear, it melted again," and then stretched out her hand to catch the next one.

Xiao Douzi catches snowflakes differently from Duo Duo. She opens up the cuffs of her down jacket so that the snowflakes can land on the white downy fur on the cuffs.

The snowflakes lingered on the fluff for quite a while before melting, so she held her sleeve up to her eyes to examine them closely. Different hexagonal crystals shimmered with a crystalline light among the fluff.

It was getting late, and it was snowing heavily, so the group decided to head straight home.

Lin Ye walked behind Xiao Douzi and was just about to take out his phone to ask Uncle Liu, the driver, to bring over an umbrella.

He always kept several long-handled umbrellas in all his cars, just in case.

At that moment, Xiao Douzi tugged at his clothes, and Lin Ye looked down.

She tilted her head back, pointed with one hand at a person outside the exit fence, and her voice was filled with the surprise of discovering a new world:

"Godfather, Godfather, there's an umbrella for sale over there. Should we buy one too?"

Lin Ye looked in the direction she pointed. Because the snow had started suddenly, many people hadn't brought umbrellas. Some had already sensed a business opportunity and were buying umbrellas from the service area shops to resell.

The umbrella seller was a young man, who looked to be in his early twenties, wearing a bright yellow waterproof windbreaker.

He was pushing a makeshift vending cart provided by the amusement park, which was filled with rows of umbrellas. Because there were many children, he specifically chose the colorful and playful umbrellas.

There are umbrellas with canopies shaped like bear ears, umbrellas covered with cartoon dinosaur patterns, umbrella handles shaped like glowing stars... all kinds of umbrellas, in a variety of colors.

Right now, a young man is holding a glowing star umbrella and shouting in a very infectious tone: "It's snowing! It's snowing—buy an umbrella to go home!"

The star-shaped umbrella handle glowed with a warm yellow light in the night. Snowflakes fell on the umbrella and slid off, looking like a string of broken pearls under the lamplight.

His shouts did indeed attract the attention of many children.

A little girl, who had just come off the Ferris wheel, tugged at her mother's clothes, her eyes fixed on the outside of the railing, and kept repeating, "Mommy, I want that umbrella."

Little Douzi was no exception; her gaze was firmly fixed on that glowing star umbrella.

Lin Ye thought about it and decided it was feasible.

It takes at least ten minutes to walk here from the parking lot, and even longer on slippery roads in snowy weather, plus you'd have to buy an extra ticket. It's much more convenient to just buy a few umbrellas here.

He led the little boy toward the row of stainless steel railings on the side.

The young man selling umbrellas was outside the railing, while the inside of the railing in front of him was already surrounded by a group of parents with their children, and business was booming.

However, it's unclear whether he has some side job as a kindergarten teacher, but the children seem to listen to him quite well. Under his guidance, they obediently pull their parents to line up and choose umbrellas.

The four of them each picked up an umbrella and headed towards the exit.

Little Pocket opened her star-shaped umbrella; the canopy was transparent, and the snowflakes falling on it could be seen directly through the hexagonal outlines. Dodo walked beside her, holding a black and red umbrella with devil horns.

One umbrella was transparent and glowed with starlight, while the other was deep red and topped with two devil horns, making the two people look like little angels and little devils.

After getting into the car, Lin Ye turned off the live stream again.

After playing all day, the little boy suddenly became drowsy as the car's heater warmed him up.

Lin Ye took the star-shaped umbrella she was still clutching, closed it, and put it in the car door storage compartment. Then he untied the rabbit balloon she was holding onto her hand.

She had been pulling on the balloon all day, and the string had left several faint red marks on her fingers. Lin Ye gently rubbed those marks and untied it even more carefully.

After untying it, he wrapped the balloon string twice and tied it around the neck of the dinosaur plush toy that Xiaodouzi had won during the interactive session that day, and placed them together on the other side of the seat.

Then he patted his leg and told Xiaodouzi to lie down and sleep for a while. It would take more than two hours to drive back, maybe even longer.

Because the snow outside is getting heavier, the car will not travel fast to ensure safety.

Xiao Douzi's eyelids were drooping, but she couldn't resist lying down, resting her head on Lin Ye's lap, curling her legs up and lying on her side, with a section of her red sweater collar slipping out from the collar of her down jacket.

After lying there for a while, I finally couldn't resist the overwhelming drowsiness. My eyelids gently closed, but then I struggled to open them a crack a second later. I mumbled sleepily:

"Godfather... wake me up when we arrive... I asked Aunt Zhou Ran to prepare squirrel-shaped mandarin fish for me tonight when I left home this morning... I want to get up and eat..."

When he mentioned "squirrel-shaped mandarin fish," his tone unusually rose slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up a little.

It's as if I can already smell it.

Lin Ye chuckled, the smile spreading from the corners of his mouth to the depths of his eyes.

He looked down at her small face curled up in her knees, gently wiped away a few tears that welled up in her eyes as she yawned, and spoke softly:

"Don't worry, little one, when we get there your godfather will call you. He definitely won't let you miss the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish!"

Only then did Xiao Douzi close her eyes completely, her eyelashes fluttering twice before she stopped moving, her breathing gradually becoming even and long.

Uncle Liu slowed the car down even slower and more steadily than usual, and the tires made a soft rustling sound as they rolled over the thin layer of fresh snow on the road.

The car smoothly drove onto the highway in the night and through the snow-covered landscape, heading towards Jiangcheng.
