"And to be protected from the rain and sun?" The little girl inquired, and Xin Yan nodded, a tear falling from her eyes. She felt sorry for the girl and wanted to help her.

"Then I will follow you, Aunty," she agreed, giving Xin Yan a bright smile that contrasted with her gloomy appearance.

Xin Yan laughed, while Chen Wenling secretly wiped her tears. It was a truly heartwarming moment.
