Once Little Ying started crying, she cried for a whole night. And she didn’t cry loudly like ordinary kids. It was so soft that one couldn’t even hear the crying. Only a few drops of tears dropped out of her eyes from time to time, wetting the little pillow on the bed. Her sadness was completely unconscious, with an immensely grievous calling of “sister” from time to time, making one’s heart break.

“Maybe, we should open up the passage and let Senior Shen over!” Yi Qing suggested with a deep voice. Perhaps because Little Ying behaved so well and obedient these few days, and their previous impression of her, Yi Qing and Lonemoon almost forgot that she was only three now, the age most in need of family companionship. However well they were to her and however carefully they tended to her, they couldn’t compare to the part that Shen Jing had in her heart.

Lonemoon frowned as well. “But Shen Ying said just now that she sealed the plane passage to prevent Shen Jing from chasing over in anger. You also know that with her sister’s temper, how can the two of us stop her? At that time, not only we, the whole plane might…”

“Even just a bit of contact, to let Master take a look, will do!” Yi Qing looked back at the inside of the room, and he couldn’t help but continue, “Like this, Master is so… pitiful.” For Shen Ying right now, though she treated them like parents, after all, their time together was too short, and she could see them as people a bit nicer than strangers at most. That was why even with crying, she cried secretly after she’s asleep. There wasn’t enough trust after all.

Lonemoon’s eyes fell. His daughter was crying like that, his heart was also painful, so painful that it was like having it broken! Just that…

“You also know that when Shen Ying was back to fifteen, she had already strengthened the plane blockade in case we contact Shen Jing again.” He scratched his head anxiously. “Even if we want to contact Big Shen, we can’t!” The seals placed by Shen Ying herself was beyond their powers to release, unless Shen Ying removed the seal, but she just returned to three.

“As compared to thinking about these, we may as well have a proper chat with Little Ying.” Lonemoon remembered something and gave the inside of the room a concerned look. “I think the look of Little Ying doesn’t seem to be simply from missing family. Maybe… there are other reasons too.” Or she wouldn’t be completely fine during the day but only missed her sister when she fell asleep. This was unlike ordinary homesickness, but more like something that was long hidden but called out subconsciously in sleep.

Yi Qing frowned. Of course, he realized this too. Little secrets were hidden inside Little Ying’s heart. She was only three, and easy to see through no matter how clever she was. For so many days, she didn’t mention Shen Jing even once, as though she avoided it purposefully.

“This might be Master’s knot in the heart. Just that… I’m afraid she won’t talk even if we ask.”

“That depends on the way we ask.” With such things like appeasing a child, he had experience. Lonemoon thought about it and directly made a seal. His body started changing, and within a short while, he became much shorter, and his look changed completely. He turned into the look of Shen Jing. “Doesn’t she miss her sister? I will comfort her a bit looking like this.”

“… Isn’t this deception?”

“Pui. I’m doing this so that Little Ying will not be sad. How can it be called deception? At most… at most call it cosplay. You don’t understand!” Lonemoon directly sneered at him wearing Shen Jing’s face, and he flipped his long hair seriously, giving him a stay-smart-and-don’t-expose-me-later look.

“…” Yi Qing felt that since Master returned to three years old, a certain person’s madness was getting worse and worse.

“Little Ying is awake!” Sensing the sounds of movement in the room, Lonemoon gave Chef a push immediately. He stood straight in the way Shen Jing might have and put up a cold face.

Indeed, very soon a swaying little figure walked out from the room. She seemed to have not fully woken up, and she walked towards the two rubbing her eyes.

“Mommy…” She swayed to the side of Chef with little steps and waved a little hand to make a hugging gesture.

Yi Qing hurried to carry her up Then her head tilted and rested on his shoulder obediently. Her eyes narrowed slightly. Only then did she seem to see the “Shen Jing” at the side, and she was stunned immediately, and her eyes widened into a circle instantly.

Lonemoon subconsciously wanted to give her a smile, but had to suppress it. He even purposefully activated Immortal Qi to change his own voice, and then called with the cold tone and voice exactly like Shen Jing, “Little Ying!”

Little Ying seemed to waken from her sleepiness instantly. He looked and straightened his back. She looked at him with large, wide eyes in surprise.

It worked! Lonemoon felt a joy in his heart, as he continued, “Little Ying, now you…”

“Daddy!” Before he could finish, Shen Ying burst out, seeing through his camouflage in a second.

“…” Eh?

Little stars lit up in Little Ying’s eyes. She looked him up and down with some curiosity. Suddenly he remembered something, and he showed him a warm smile and said approvingly, “Daddy is so pretty today! Prettier than all other ladies.” With that said, she clapped her little hands supportively, looking genuinely happy for him.

“…” Should he be glad that his daughter was so supportive? But why did he feel like he was being stabbed?

“Puah!”

“DON’T LAUGH!” He turned and stared towards Chef who was having a hard time suppressing his laughter! What was the problem after all? Wasn’t she only three? How could she know with one look that he was a fake?

“Father Niu, you’d better…”

“Shut up!” Do you have to laugh so hard that you’re trembling? Continue laughing and believe it or not, I will beat you! I really will!

Yi Qing took a deep breath and turned away from Lonemoon’s face which had already started turning green. Only then did he put Shen Ying on the chair beside him. Remembering business, he squatted down at the extremely well-behaved little person and rubbed her red and swollen eyes sadly. He asked seriously, “Did Master… have a bad dream just now? One about horrible things?”

Little Ying tilted her head, looking like she didn’t understand him. After a long while she patted his own little chest and said, “Little Ying is very brave, not scared!”

Yi Qing smiled. “Then did Little Ying… miss Sister?”

She was stunned, and suddenly a bit of timidity showed in her eyes, and her head bowed down. And then, like something was exposed, even her whole small body stiffened, and she didn’t answer for a long time.

Yi Qing felt a panic in his heart somehow. “Little Ying, if you miss her, maybe go back…”

“No!” Before he finished, she suddenly looked up anxiously, and cried out loudly as though she used all the strength in her body, “NOT A BIT!”

With that said, she suddenly and abruptly pushed away Chef, standing in front of her, and leaped down from the chair. She ran quickly towards the inner room, and soon her figure was gone.

Yi Qing was surprised. He turned back blankly towards Lonemoon, who looked similarly confused.

What was… the matter with Master?

“Did she… go back crying just now?”

“…”

The looks of the two changed, and only then they went chasing. They pushed the door and realized that they couldn’t open it.

“It’s locked!”

Yi Qing subconsciously moved to conjure a spell, but Lonemoon suddenly grabbed his hand.

“Wait!” His looks deepened. “I’ll go. Little Ying is different from other kids.” At any rate, he used to babysit his nephew, and had some experience.

After a moment of hesitation, Yi Qing pulled back his hand.
