His kiss was gentle and affectionate. I drowned in his gentleness.
"Nanxing, be good. Sleep beside me for a while, just for a while," he whispered in my ear.
"Okay." My consciousness was slowly moving away. I faintly promised him in my heart and fell into sweet, dark dreamland.
The warm sunlight enveloped me.

"Nanxing, hurry up."
"Nanxing, can little uncle carry you?"
"Little uncle, you always pamper her!"
"What else do you expect? Am I supposed to pamper you instead? Look at how old you are already!"
"Little uncle, it's alright. I can run on my own."
"Good job, Nanxing. Little Uncle will give you a reward when we return!"
"Brother Cousin, don't be unhappy. I'll give you half of the reward!"
