Lin Ye felt a surge of heat and swelling in his heart. Something warm was overflowing from his chest. This feeling came unexpectedly, surging up from the depths of his heart, getting stuck in his throat, and even his eyes felt hot.

He subconsciously raised his hand to press down the tuft of hair on the top of Xiaodouzi's head, his fingertips tracing the soft strands of hair, avoiding those bright, sparkling eyes. He was afraid that if he looked any longer, the tears welling up in his eyes would get out of control.

Just then, the screen of Lin Ye's phone suddenly lit up, and the crisp message notification sound was particularly clear in the quiet living room.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Ye quickly looked down and saw a notice about school closure posted in the kindergarten parents' group on the screen.

The notice was very formal, stating that due to the impact of extreme blizzard weather, classes would be temporarily suspended from today to ensure safety, and the resumption date would be announced separately.

The message was followed by a series of "received" replies from parents, and several parents were complaining about when the snow would stop and what to do if their children were left at home without anyone to look after them.

After reading the notice, Lin Ye's emotions completely calmed down, and when he looked up, he had already readjusted his expression.

He looked at Xiaodouzi, read the message aloud in a gentle voice, and concluded: "The kindergarten is closed."

Little Douzi nodded: "That's perfect, Godfather, let's hurry and rescue them!"

"Alright. Then let's get ready and set off without further ado."

"Little Douzi, go change your clothes first. Wear something that's easy to move in with, something a little thicker. Even though it's almost summer there, it's still quite cold with the heavy rain and wind."

After giving his instructions, Lin Ye added, "When Xiao Douzi is changing clothes, you can also think about how to help them if Xiao Douzi comes, and then talk to your godfather about it."

Since Xiaodouzi is determined to become emperor, I can't hold her back, so I started to cultivate her habit of independent thinking.

He didn't want Xiaodouzi to grow up to be a child who only waits for adults to tell her the answers, and he didn't want her to look back at him or others as her first reaction when she encountered problems in the future, waiting expectantly for someone to make a decision for her.

We need to teach her to think for herself first, even if the solution she comes up with is naive. What matters is not the answer, but the process of finding the answer herself.

Like a newly sprouted seedling, its first few leaves are always so tender they are translucent. But as long as it is given the opportunity to grow towards the sun, it will eventually grow into a lush and leafy plant.

The same applies to raising children.

"Little Douzi understands!"

Lin Ye gave her head a final pat.

His palm landed on her soft hair, his fingertips cupping the top of her head and stroking it. That stubborn tuft of hair that never gave up popped out from between his fingers, gently brushing against the back of his hand, tickling him.

"Go."

Watching the small figure disappear into the living room doorway, Lin Ye stood up and walked towards his bedroom; he needed to change his clothes too.

He walked into the dressing room, opened the cabinet door, and glanced at the clothes hanging there.

He usually dresses casually, mostly in casual coats and wide-leg pants.

These clothes are comfortable and good-looking, but it's raining heavily over there in Da Yan, so wearing them is definitely not an option.

A pure wool coat becomes heavy and not warm when wet, and wide-leg pants drag on the ground, ruining themselves after just a few steps in the mud.

He pulled out a black outdoor jacket, made of waterproof fabric, which was durable and dirt-resistant.

It makes a slight rustling sound when touched, and the clothes have multiple pockets, including those on the chest, arms, and waist, all with zippers, so you can put things in different categories.

I bought this this spring when I went hiking with Mu Chenfeng and a few old friends. Each of us bought a set of the same style in a different color, and we looked like twins.

Lin Ye quickly put on his windbreaker and work pants, then slipped on a pair of waterproof boots, tightened the laces, and tied a solid knot.

He stood up and stretched; his clothes and shoes fit him well and didn't hinder his movements.

After tidying up, Lin Ye left the bedroom and returned to the living room.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Douzi had already changed her clothes and was sitting in the living room. It seems she was really anxious, as she usually spends a long time just choosing clothes.

She wore a brown tracksuit that allowed for easy movement, with a zippered top that was pulled up to slightly below her chest, revealing a section of the collar of a beige undershirt underneath.

She was wearing a pair of matching rain boots, with the boot shafts reaching almost to her calves, and a small cartoon rabbit printed on the boot surface.

He also had a black backpack with Kuromi printed on it on his back. It was bulging and the backpack's outline was stretched out roundly, and the zipper seemed to be a little tight.

There were also things stuck in the two side pockets: a folding umbrella on one side and a thermos on the other.

She sat on the sofa with her schoolbag on her back, her hand supporting her chin, her two short legs dangling over the edge of the sofa and swinging back and forth.

The heels of the rain boots tapped gently against the sofa base, making a rhythmic, soft tapping sound, one after another, as if keeping time.

Her brows were furrowed tightly, her lips were slightly pursed, and she stared blankly at the cup on the coffee table.

He was completely absorbed in his own world, his expression particularly unfocused, and he didn't even notice Lin Ye's movement as he walked out.

The sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, becoming soft and cool after being filtered through the glass, and fell on Xiaodouzi, giving her silhouette a soft silver edge.

The brown tracksuit had a fine, velvety texture in the light, the print on Kuromi's backpack reflected light slightly, and the cool black rabbit stood out in the light, its eyes reflecting light like two tiny stars.

Even the tuft of unruly hair on the top of her head seemed to be penetrated by the light, becoming translucent, with the roots still jet black, fading towards the ends, and finally blending into the light.

She would occasionally tilt her head unconsciously, pout her lips, and nod as if she had figured something out, but then quickly shake her head as if she had overturned her previous thought.

Lin Ye smiled and walked over.

His boots made a soft sound on the floor, which startled Xiao Douzi from her reverie, and she turned her little head sharply towards him.

The confusion in his eyes was instantly replaced by light, and he immediately slid off the sofa. When his feet hit the ground, the contents of his backpack rattled with the movement.

She didn't care about anything else and eagerly went to greet Lin Ye, grabbing his hands that were hanging at his sides.

His little face showed a mixture of excitement and trepidation: "Godfather! I've got an idea!"

Lin Ye bent down and picked her up, supporting her bottom with one hand so she could sit on his arm. "Oh? Tell me, little one."

His tone was encouraging and curious, his gaze gently fixed on her face as he awaited her answer.

Little Douzi adjusted his posture, shifting his little bottom on his arm to find a more comfortable position. Then he turned the backpack from behind to the front and hugged it, wrapping his arms around the backpack as if it were a precious treasure.

She unzipped her jacket, glanced down inside, then looked up at him with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"My godfather said the people have no food," she said, opening her schoolbag wide to show Lin Ye what was inside.

"So Xiaodouzi wanted to share his food with them."
