In the evening, Yue Tingcheng came home from get off work. As soon as he walked into the living room, he looked at the little boy sitting on the sofa. The latter's eyes were timid, like a frightened deer, hiding in Zhao Qingluo's arms.

"Is this?" His deep eyes were mixed with a hint of confusion, and he turned his inquiring eyes on Zhao Qingluo.

"Maruko was playing outside just now and accidentally discovered this missing little boy. I had already sent him to the police station, but no one reported the loss, so the police asked me to bring the child back."

Yue Tingcheng responded lightly, sat on the sofa opposite, and looked up and down at the little boy's face with his head down.

For some reason, he always felt that the child in front of him made him feel inexplicably familiar, as if he had met somewhere.

With his fingertips, Yue Tingcheng pursed his lips tightly, trying to recall something.

Finally, a picture flashed through his mind, but it was like a loach that made him unable to capture it.

"Tingcheng, I want to discuss something with you." Zhao Qingluo gently stroked the little boy's hair, invisibly comforting his nervous expression.

"What?" Yue Tingcheng took a sip of water. Seeing that she seemed to like this child of unknown origin, she was inevitably worried.

Although Zhao Qingluo was a little unsure, she instantly strengthened her thoughts when she saw the child in her arms so weak and helpless.

"I want this child to live at home for the time being. When there is news from the police, I will send him away."

"Don't you think it's better to send this child to a welfare home?" Yue Tingcheng has always disliked leaving suspicious people at home, even a child.

Zhao Qingluo lowered her eyes slightly disappointed. Although she had expected that he would refuse, she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Maruko likes him very much, so I'd better let him stay for a few days to play with the child." Faced with Zhao Qingluo's repeated requests, Yue Tingcheng sighed secretly, and it was inevitable that he would be soft-hearted.

Maruko's innocent face appeared in his mind.

Since the child likes her, he cannot easily deprive her of her rights.

"Then, let's just be here for the time being."

Seeing Yue Tingcheng let go, Zhao Qingluo's originally gloomy eyes suddenly shone. She put one hand around his neck and left a kiss like a dragonfly on his face.

Yue Tingcheng was slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth curled up, but he couldn't help but declare to her that once the child's parents came, he would definitely let him go home.

"I knew you would agree to my request." Zhao Qingluo's eyes shone like stars.

Looking at the woman smiling in front of her, Yue Tingcheng's mood improved a lot.

The little boy hiding in Zhao Qingluo's arms heard her laughter, raised his head in confusion and glanced at the man who was cold and frosty before.

Perhaps it was because the long-lost smile appeared on his face, which instantly reduced the little boy's fear of him.

"Are you happy? I can sleep with Maruko tonight." Zhao Qingluo pinched his cheeks with his fingertips, and felt more and more cute as the little boy in front of him.

The little boy's cheeks flushed slightly, he lowered his head slightly shyly, pursed his lips, and did not answer anything.

After the nanny had cooked the rice, accompanied by Zhao Qingluo, Xiaomao hummed a little tune, took the initiative to take the little boy's hand, and took him to the dining table.

Seeing them getting along so happily, Zhao Qingluoda liked the existence of this little boy even more from the bottom of his heart.

Although I don’t know how long he can live here, for Zhao Qingluo, every second he can accompany Maruko is worth cherishing.

"I tell you, this dish is my favorite. It's super delicious, you can try it." Little Maruko, who was sitting in the child's chair, shook his short legs happily, staring at the expression on the boy's face intently.

"How do you feel?" As the little boy chewed and swallowed slowly, she couldn't wait to yell, thinking that he must also like such food.

Sure enough, the little boy opened his slightly bright eyes and spit out two words from his mouth tenderly: "It's delicious!"

Maruko applauded and couldn't help sharing his joy with Zhao Qingluo who was sitting aside.

"Mommy, he likes this dish, too.

"I've seen it all, you'd better have a meal quickly. Look at him, the rice in the bowl has been finished."

After being friendly reminded by his mother, Maruko realized that the little boy's job was gradually coming to an end before he knew it.

"Wait for me, I won't lose to you." Maruko firmly held the little spoon in his palm and began to work hard.

Sure enough, the best way to make children have a good meal is competition.

"Then you guys can tell me that if anyone finishes it first, there will be a lollipop reward." Zhao Qingluo deliberately said loudly at the dining table, signaling the nanny to take out the candy placed in the locker with his eyes.

"Mommy, this is my savings in half a year." Maruko stared at the can of candy with her eyes shining brightly, becoming more and more motivated to win this game.

You know, Mommy has been restricting her from eating candy since a long time ago because she is afraid that she will accidentally decay her teeth.

Now that she finally had this opportunity, she would certainly behave in front of her mother.

Yue Tingcheng looked at the energetic little Maruko with great interest, and suddenly realized that he had made a relatively correct decision in a moment of thought.

"Tingcheng, look at Maruko, it's rare to be so happy." The mother-in-law looked at the two children happily, and she liked such shy and shy children from the bottom of her heart.

Even if the little boy is to be taken back by his family in a few days, she will take the free time to visit Maruko with her.

Since we met, we were destined to be a person. She believed that the child in front of her would become Maruko's best playmate.

The end of this game was over with the little boy's deliberate concession, and Maruko was ecstatic to get the candy.

The innocent little Maruko took it for granted that she won the final victory with her strength alone. She raised her head confidently and showed off her hard-earned spoils to the little boy.

"Look, am I very awesome?"

The little boy nodded happily and gave her a thumbs up to express his praise.

"Mommy, don't forget, he must sleep with me tonight." You know, the little boy is younger than her, so she should protect him as expected.

Whether at home or outside, she has to play the role of a sister.

This was what Mommy once taught her.

"I understand, I'll ask my aunt to bring a quilt to your room later." Zhao Qingluo pointed her small nose dotingly, and subconsciously looked at Yue Tingcheng, who was standing beside her.

"You little girl, when did you see you talking about something? How long did you think about it?" Yue Tingcheng rubbed the broken hair on her forehead jealously, and always felt that the girl was turning her elbow out.

If, in the future, when Maruko grows up and has a boyfriend, will he be abandoned by her invisibly?

It’s a bit awkward to think about it. Let’s put aside this unknown problem worth thinking about in the future for the time being.

Anyway, what is coming will come one day. The most important thing is to take good care of the present moment.

After taking a fragrant hot bath, Xiaomao stepped on her short legs and climbed up the bed that was tall with her.

Although she was a little tired, she was not the only one lying on the bed tonight. So, she was inevitably a little excited.

"Child, I forgot to ask your name before. Can you tell the aunt what you are called?" Zhao Qingluo squatted in front of the child and helped him dress neatly.

"Name?" The little boy tilted his head in confusion, as if someone had asked in his impression.

However, his answer was consistent.

"I don't know my name." The little boy lowered his head awkwardly, and the flush remaining on his cheeks spread from his neck to his collarbone.

He didn't know if this was something worthy of shame. He just thought that children of his age also had their own names, and he was envious. More so, the feelings of inferiority came to his heart for a moment, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

"You don't have a name?" Zhao Qingluo was very surprised. She was obviously a child who was accidentally lost, so why didn't she even know her own name?

Zhao Qingluo let go of the doubts in her heart for the time being. However, if this child has no name, even if someone reports his disappearance at the police station, he may not necessarily notice the child's information.

She couldn't help but frowned slightly, and suddenly realized the difficulty of this matter.

"If you don't dislike me, would I call you Nan Nan?" No, Zhao Qingluo could only give him a name temporarily.

First, it is so exciting, but second, it doesn’t feel like it’s alive with them.

"Nan Nan?" The little boy raised his head, his innocent eyes shone with light, and he nodded happily to Zhao Qingluo.

"Nan Nan, wait and be in bed with Maruko, so you have to go to bed early. Otherwise, Maruko will make a fuss for a long time before going to bed." Zhao Qingluo knew Maruko's nature and knew that the little girl had to play in the bed for a while before she could lie down.

When she dries the little boy's hair, she asks him to find Maruko.

"A little story before bed, which one should I listen to today by Maruko?" Zhao Qingluo put a few books in front of them and asked them to make a choice for themselves.

"This, I want to listen to the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves." Although Maruko has already mastered this story in her heart, she still asked Zhao Qingluo to tell it.

She yearned for the small wooden house where the seven dwarves lived. Although she had never really seen it, she still had some fantasies in her dreams.

Perhaps because of Nan Nan's company, Xiao Maruko tonight fell asleep before Zhao Qingluo finished reading the last page.

Looking at the person lying side by side on the bed, Zhao Qingluo's eyes were soft, she got off the bed and took the door with her hands and feet.
