  Shen Chuchen pinched her round cheeks and completely lost it, “Spit it out! Did you hear me? Hurry up and spit it out!!”

  The little thing puffed her round cheeks as she teared up, she bit the rabbit’s ear stubbornly and replied,

  “Wu, no.”

  Ye Sang was upset.

  She thought her teeth were going to break but Uncle Shen wanted her to spit it out.

  Shen Chuchen thought he could still save the lantern.

  So he pitched her face until it puffed up, and he almost lost it again when she still refused to let go.

  “Ye Sangsang, let go!! Let go!!”

  Finally.

  Under Shen Chuchen’s untiring attempts, Ye Sang finally let go of the rabbit ear unwillingly.

  The little thing covered her mouth and looked at the rabbit lantern, her face filled with regret.

  The owner’s forehead throbbed as she saw the missing ear, and her lips twitched.

  She slowly stretched out a hand and smiled, “Sir.”

  “May I ask if you have any money on you?”

  “.……”

  Shen Chuchen choked on her question.

  Money?

  Do big shots like him have any cash on them?

  Shen Chuchen saw that people were starting to crowd around them, he couldn’t afford to lose his face. He picked up the little girl and passed the delicate rabbit lantern over.

  The man pulled his lips and tried to smile “kindly”.

  He earnestly suggested, “I think……”

  “You can save it.”

  “.……” Those around them immediately fell silent.

  The owner stared at the lantern for a few seconds and sighed at Shen Chuchen, “So you don’t have any money?”

  Shen Chuchen: “.……”

  Although he hated to admit it.

  But it was the truth.

  The owner gave him a pitiful look, “It’s not easy to raise a child as a single father.”

  “Don’t worry, I’ll give the lantern to you for free.”

  After a pause, she added earnestly: “I’ll make it for free because of your daughter.”

  The owner waved her hands in disdain, gesturing that he could go now.

  “.……” Shen Chuchen never thought that he, a person who kills people like flies, had to get around something with a child’s face.

  The little thing swayed her head slowly. She immediately butted in after realising that they solved the problem.

  “Uncle……Sangsang is hungry.”

  Shen Chuchen pinched her soft and pale face with one hand, pulling a fake smile on his face as he remembered his empty wallet, “Uncle doesn’t have any money.”

  Ye Sang: “.……”

  She stared at him with her dark eyes and tilted her head to the side in confusion.

  “Isn’t uncle a rich child?” The little thing blinked and thought that there was some deviation in her knowledge of Uncle Shen.

  Shen Chuchen wandered through the downtown area careless with his long legs and held the little girl in his arms skillfully like a full-time father.

  He heard the little thing’s question and his face immediately turned cold, “No.”

  “I don’t have any money right now.”

  Although he didn’t want to admit it.

  He had to admit defeat in this situation.

  Ye Sang was still unwilling to give up, she leaned in and said, “B-But I’m hungry.”

  Shen Chuchen: “Bear with it.”

  Little thing: “But I’m hungry.”

  “.……”

  Shen Chuchen finally realized that if he didn’t give the little thing a clear explanation, she definitely won’t give up easily.

  It was indeed hard to raise a child.

  It looks like that dog Huo Yao’s past few months have been rather painful.

  Shen Chuchen exclaimed bitterly.

  “I don’t have any money,” The man pursed his lips and stopped himself from ruining it, he continued with the same smile: “Because uncle is too useless.”

  A bunch of question marks appeared on Ye Sang’s little head.

  “???”

  Shen Chuchen knew that it was the time to show off his acting skills.

  “You are too young to know how hard it is to be an adult,” He lowered his voice fittingly, “Uncle has a group of shadow guards at home.”

  After a pause, Shen Chuchen added sorrowfully, “But they are rebellious.”

  Ye Sang: “.……”

  What does rebellious mean?

  The little thing was puzzled but Shen Chuchen continued to show how poor he was, “I don’t only have to raise those rebellious shadow guards, but I have to care for the elders and the young ones at home.”

  “I’ve had to carry the weight of my entire family since I was twelve.”

  “I can’t even sleep soundly at night because I have to worry about my safety.”

  “.……”

  He talked for a long time and Ye Sang was muddle-headed from it.

  “Uncle can……” She buried her head in his arms and whispered, “Convince people with virtues.” ……

  Her Mommy loved to do that.

  Shen Chuchen’s forehead throbbed and refused subconsciously, “No.”

  He sorrowfully replied, “I’m only worthy to be beaten up by others.”

  Ye Sang: “.……”

  The little thing stopped talking awkwardly. The strand of hair on top of her head drooped down and she hugged him, trying to comfort him, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

  Ye Sang was scared that she’ll hurt her uncle’s pride and obediently stayed quiet.

  She didn’t dare to say that she was hungry, but her eyes were almost glued onto the stalls around her.

  Shen Chuchen sighed in relief at how obedient she was, but he felt bitter at her envious gaze.

  The man looked away and pressed his tongue against his teeth, planning to call and make his subordinates come and bring them some cash.

  A host in a clown’s makeup standing from a circus-like performance stage not far from them suddenly raised his voice and called towards him.

  “Is there any audience who would like to play a game with us?”

  The little thing revealed her head.

  The clown’s eyes immediately lit up and quickly approached them, asking her in front of Shen Chuchen.

  “Little friend, would you like to play a game with us?”

  Instantly, everyone looked towards them.

  Ye Sang buried her head in Shen Chuchen’s arms shyly under so much attention, she slowly nodded seeing that Shen Chuchen didn’t plan to stop her, “Okay.”

  The clown immediately grinned, “Then please follow me.”

  The little thing wore a white dress and had the little bag she always had on her, she swayed like a little penguin.

  Shen Chuchen frowned and fixed his gaze on the clown’s back. He felt that the clown looked somewhat familiar for no reason.

  The man stopped himself from grabbing the little girl back and watched from under the stage without blinking.

  Logically, there shouldn’t be any problems.

  It’s just a child going on the stage and having some fun.

  But the clown felt too familiar. ……

  On the stage, the clown bent down and smiled, “Little friend, can you perform something?”

  He sounded kind and Ye Sang didn’t feel any bad intention from him at all.

  The little thing nodded heavily, “Yes.”

  The clown passed the mic to her and smiled, “Then will you please perform for us?”

  The clown passed the mic to her and smiled, “Then will you please perform for us?” ……

  On the other side. Shen Chuchen stood under the stage and frowned while he glanced around him, feeling that something was wrong.

  He didn’t know if it was his illusion but all the staff around here felt familiar to him.

  The little thing shyly sang a nursery song called “Little White Bunny”. Her voice was soft, sounding exceptionally healing:

  “Little white rabbit, two ears sticking up.”

  “It loves turnips and vegetables, it looks cute hopping around.”

  All the others started to chatter.

  “What a cute child.”

  “I want a child just by watching her.”

  “She’s so pretty too, argh.” The girl covered her face, “I’m dead.”

  Shen Chuchen: “.……”

  He heard the crowd’s discussion and turned his face away in disdain.

  Humph, how inexperienced. ……

  After the performance ended, the clown gave Ye Sang a balloon.

  Shen Chuchen watched as the little thing held a rabbit lantern in her left hand and a balloon in her right hand, he realized something deeply.

  This girl probably could do well anywhere.

  She didn’t need him to worry so much.

  Ye Sang held the lantern and balloon, feeling rewarded, she thanked him crisply, “Thank you, uncle!”

  The little girl dragged her milky voice on, melting everyone’s hearts.

  Mr. Clown ruffled her hair and asked, “Since you call me uncle, will you play a game with uncle?”

  Ye Sang hesitated for a while as she looked at the balloon in her hand, she eventually nodded seriously, “Okay.”

  The clown immediately grinned and held her hand, taking her back again.

  He took a piece of black fabric and pretended to be mysterious, “Shall I show everyone how to make a living person vanish?”

  All the audience cheered.

  Shen Chuchen’s forehead throbbed and straightened his back, subconsciously wanting to run up and grab her back.

  Huh?

  Make her vanish?

  Let Huo Yao’s daughter play that?

  What a joke.

  But people crowded around the stage, and the area in front of him was full too.

  There was no way he could get up there unless he knew how to fly. ……

  Because it was Ye Sang’s first time playing a game like this, she was exceptionally obedient and stood there with her hands behind her back, letting the clown do his job.

  The clown couldn’t help but look at her a few times since he rarely saw a child so obedient.

  He smiled and comforted her, “Don’t be scared, we are just showing them a magic trick.”

  Ye Sang shook her head and replied, “Sangsang isn’t scared.”

  The little girl stood there and then Uncle Clown put a piece of black fabric on her head.

  “Sangsang can’t see.” She looked down and whispered.

  Mr. Clown rubbed her head comfortingly with the hand hidden under the fabric, telling her to not worry.

  Behind the black curtain, the little thing stood there motionlessly, but after a few seconds, she started to lose her consciousness.

  Ye Sang shook her head, but eventually fell down as she couldn’t fight the sleepiness.

  The clown eyed someone next to him and that person quickly dragged her away.

  This all happened in a few seconds and the audience cried in surprise.

  The clown smiled and bowed, ready to head backstage after the successful performance.

  The audience thought he had other performances to show, and they remained there without realizing that something was wrong. ……

  Backstage.

  The woman looked down at the unconscious little girl and smiled coldly.

  “Are you sure this kid doesn’t have any parents?”

  “If she causes any problems, can you afford to take the responsibility for it?”

  Obviously, she didn’t think that the girl didn’t have any parents.

  She knew just from looking at her clothes alone because an orphan wouldn’t dress so well.

  The clown said, “I deceived these two children on the way, you need to stop before going too far. Don’t touch them, do you hear me?!”

  The woman’s lips twitched and humphed coldly whilst looking at the two girls curled up on the ground, “Fine.”

  Although that’s what she said, he wouldn’t know what she was thinking.

  “Oh speaking of which,” The woman seemed to remember something as she turned to the clown and smiled profoundly, “Other than these two, I caught another two boys.”

  Her lips curled up, obviously pleased with herself, “They probably snuck out of the house without their parents. I thought they could make up for the number if you didn’t get enough.”

  Liu Yue’er tilted her chin, “But I didn’t think you were so fast.”

  The clown didn’t bother with her decisions. He frowned slightly after Liu Yue’er said that she caught another two boys, but he decided to stop bothering as he waved his hand, “Whatever. It’s your decision. Since you caught them, we’ll take all four children.”

  He pointed at Ye Sang and frowned tightly, “I have a feeling that her father is a difficult one, let’s get going as soon as possible.”

  “He probably already realized that something was wrong.”

  The two exchanged a glance with each other and quickly decided to leave with these four children. ……

  No one knew what happened backstage, and all the people on the street crowded around the stage.

  “Why aren’t they coming out yet?”

  “Let’s wait, maybe something’s up.”

  “Oh, but where’s that child?”

  Everyone fell silent at the question.

  Shen Chuchen overheard this and the tense string in his head snapped.

  The man’s face fell dark and pulled a person by the collar, dragging him back.

  He was too worried about the little thing’s safety. He pursed his lips together and didn’t bother to maintain his image as he tried to dive into the crowd.

  However, Shen Chuchen underestimated the crowd’s power. The crowd blocked his path tightly like a wall.

  The man cursed in a low voice gloomily.

  He fixed his gaze on the crowd surrounding the stage, remembering the clown’s weird and fishy actions.
