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

As Fujiwara no Shūjin spoke, he suddenly raised his right hand, which was hanging by his side, and the wide brocade sleeve stirred up a slight breeze, which carried the slightly bitter scent of frankincense.

He turned halfway to the side, spread his five fingers, and pushed the elders from Java and Yali behind him to the front.

The Javanese king staggered forward half a step after being pushed by him. His slightly protruding eyes still held a trace of bewilderment, as if he hadn't reacted yet. His pupils seemed to be covered by a thin layer of mist, unable to reflect any focus.

He had actually been a little distracted just now, only hearing Fujiwara no Shūjin say something about "there is no specific solution," before he was suddenly pushed forward.

For a moment, I felt my heart leap in my chest with a thud, as if something had suddenly lifted me up and then thrown me back down to continue beating.

The Great Lord of the Pear Kingdom was well-prepared, his steps were steady and he stood firmly in place.

He even had the leisure to raise his hand and straighten the cuffs inlaid with cat's-eye stones. His shrewd eyes flashed, and he bowed slightly to Ashina on the throne.

Fujiwara no Shūjin stood side by side with the two men, their shadows stretched long and slanted across the ground, almost touching the steps of the throne.

Then he raised his right hand and gently patted his chest twice.

His gaze passed over the bright beam of sunlight in the center of the hall and looked straight at Ashina on the throne, the confident smile on his lips never fading from beginning to end.

"We have a secret weapon!"

……

"Build a snowman? We have a secret weapon!" Lin Ye looked down at Xiao Douzi and said with a smile.

Modern times, the edifice of an era.

It was already the second morning of our trip to the amusement park, and the restaurant still had the lingering aroma of charred bacon and the rich aftertaste of coffee, mixed with the dry scent from the heating, making the whole space cozy and warm.

Little Douzi finished her breakfast in a whirlwind and now she has her hands on her cheeks, her palms resting on the cold floor-to-ceiling window glass.

She pressed her entire face close to the glass, her delicate nose leaving a small, round mark on the smooth surface.

With each breath she exhaled, warm breath wafted out, creating a small, misty white haze on the glass, carrying a faint, sweet milky scent.

Outside the window, the world was a vast expanse of white. The snow had fallen all night, covering the entire city of Jiangcheng in a thick white blanket.

Everything seemed to have lost its original sharp edges, becoming rounded and gentle.

The snow had stopped, but the sky was still overcast, with the sun hidden behind thick clouds, only letting out a blurry ring of light, like a lamp lit behind frosted glass.

The snow on the road had been swept away, revealing the dark, wet surface, which looked like giant pythons lying quietly on the white plain.

Occasionally, a car would slowly drive by, its tires kicking up a fine layer of melted snow, with a "white blanket" draped over its roof.

However, looking down from the 26th floor, the roofs of the surrounding shorter buildings were still firmly covered with a thick layer of white snow, as if each one had been put on a fluffy cream hat.

Little Douzi excitedly rushed over and hugged Lin Ye's leg, raising her rosy little face, which was flushed from the warmth of the heater, her eyes sparkling like a handful of stars, and cheered.

"Godfather, Godfather, the snow outside is so thick! I want to build a snowman!"

Lin Ye was slightly swayed by her bump, and a helpless yet doting smile appeared on his face.

He looked away from the tablet on the table that was playing the morning news, picked up the remaining coffee beside him, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he bent down, put his arms on his knees, and reached out to touch the little boy's head.

His warm palm landed on her messy, uncombed hair, and a tuft of hair peeked out from between his fingers and bounced back.

"Alright, our little one wants to build a snowman, so godfather has to grant his wish!" Lin Ye laughed loudly.

Little Douzi chuckled twice, revealing his neat little white teeth.

Happily, she let go and started spinning around Lin Ye's chair, her fluffy rabbit slippers making a soft rustling sound on the wooden floor.

She twirled around, looking up at Lin Ye, her steps light as a butterfly fluttering among the flowers, her voice soft and clear as she murmured to herself.

"So, Godfather, when are we leaving? Where are we going to pile them up?"

Lin Ye was afraid that the little one spinning around might accidentally bump into the chair, so he stood up and carefully pushed the large dining chair under the table.

Then he took a few steps back, crossed one arm over his chest, pursed his lips, lowered his eyelids, and pinched his chin with the index finger and thumb of his other hand, as if deep in thought.

Seeing this, Xiao Douzi immediately shifted her circling "site," as if she had found some kind of fun, and kept spinning and jumping around Lin Ye's legs.

Turning from left to right, and then from front to back, the rabbit slippers drew irregular little circles on the wooden floor, and the two fluffy long ears on the slippers swayed back and forth.

He even hummed his own music, "Dang dang dang dang—".

She only stopped walking when she felt dizzy.

She closed her eyes, shook her head, and mumbled softly, "Godfather, I'm... a little dizzy..."

Lin Ye, who had been staring at her, shook his head helplessly, bent down and picked her up, supporting her back with one hand and letting her sit on his other arm.

The little girl nestled softly into his arms, her face pressed against his shoulder, her warm, milky breath tickling the skin on his neck.

Two little legs dangled in front of him, the toes of the rabbit slippers brushing against the hem of his pajamas.

Lin Ye lifted her up a little, and as they walked towards the bedroom, he answered her previous question: "Godfather will take you to Maple Water Garden, the place where we celebrated Xiao Douzi's birthday before, does Xiao Douzi remember?"

The corridor was covered with a long-pile carpet, which made no sound when you stepped on it. The wall lamps emitted a warm yellow light, illuminating the small watercolor paintings on the wall with a gentle glow.

As he spoke, he paused, turned his head to look at the rosy little face that still showed some confusion, which was leaning on his shoulder, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"The yard over there is very spacious; it's perfect for building a snowman."

The light from outside filtered through a small window at the end of the corridor, casting two faint shadows, one tall and one short, behind them.

When they reached the door to Xiaodouzi's bedroom, Lin Ye gently pushed it open with his toes, then looked down at her with a hint of teasing in his voice.

"As for when we'll go, that depends on when our little one is ready to get dressed!"

These words were like a magic pill. The little head that had been resting on his shoulder suddenly lifted up, and Xiao Douzi no longer felt dizzy.

In an instant, I switched from a somewhat listless state to a fully charged mode. My legs were no longer weak, my vision was no longer blurry, and even my voice was a pitch higher than before.

"Yay! Godfather is the best!"
