Ruan Shu pinched her fluffy, soft ears, seemingly sensing her owner's inner desolation. Her ears drooped like an airport runway, looking pitiful. She comforted herself by touching her ears.
"You guys, behave and stay inside."
Even though they were her own ears, she spoke to them as if they were friends, with a tone of consultation.
Then she made an effort to tuck her ears back.
A few minutes later, her face turned red, and her fluffy ears finally retracted. Ruan Shu tidied herself up and changed into a light green dress before leaving the bedroom.
She tiptoed down the hallway and easily spotted her father sitting in a chair downstairs.
Before she could even feel happy, the man downstairs looked up. His deep blue eyes conveyed a chilling sense of oppression, but it vanished in the next moment, as if it had all been just Ruan Shu's illusion.
"Good morning, Dad."
Ruan Shu eagerly ran downstairs, her delicate face beaming with a happy smile, looking extremely cheerful.
After greeting her father, she obediently sat next to him.
"Have breakfast."
Ruan Xiao put down his work and gestured towards the table.
"Okay."
Sitting obediently, the chair was a bit high, leaving her little legs dangling.
Holding her own bowl, Ruan Shu enjoyed the porridge with shrimp, corn, and some meat. It was rich and delicious without any fishy taste.
Watching her daughter eat so seriously and happily, Ruan Xiao's mouth involuntarily curved into a small smile, and her gaze softened.
After breakfast, he had to leave again. Ruan Shu reluctantly followed him outside, watching the hovercar until it disappeared. She then returned with a drooping head.
Upon seeing her pitiful appearance, the housekeeper comforted her and assured her that the master would return soon.
Ruan Shu nodded obediently, then perked up, watching cartoons with her pet before running upstairs to continue drawing.
She gradually sketched her father's image on the paper, blushing with embarrassment, knowing she was not really just three years old.
After spending the morning on her drawing, Ruan Shu finally finished it and smiled at the gentle, smiling face she had sketched of her father.
Carefully placing it on the bedside table, Ruan Shu stretched lazily.
The warm sunlight shone in, casting a golden halo on her snow-white hair, making her blue eyes shimmer with a delicate light.
The sunshine today was so inviting that, like a little cat, she couldn't resist the urge to go outside and bask in it.
Softly and politely, she made a request to the housekeeper, who sighed inwardly, feeling both heartbroken and amused at the sight of her.
"Of course, this is the young lady's home." You can do whatever you want here.
He used to think the young masters were too mischievous, but now he hoped the young lady would be a bit more resilient.
Ruan Shu's pouty lips curved into a very obedient smile, and then she busied herself with her pet.
Not only did she want to go outside to bask in the sun, but she also wanted to bring her potted plants with her.
The housekeeper had bought her a small table, a small stool, and a pink, tender cat paw cushion.
She found a large tree and moved everything underneath it.
The most surprising thing was that the housekeeper had brought her a bird's nest-shaped hanging plant.
The warm sunlight filtered through the leaves at noon, casting dappled light on her, making her feel neither too hot nor too cold. Lying in the gently swaying basket was the most comfortable.
Ruan Shu thanked the housekeeper with a sweet and obedient smile, leaving the housekeeper feeling that her charm was unparalleled.
The housekeeper had other tasks to attend to and gently reminded Ruan Shu that there was milk in the kitchen before leaving.
Now the entire courtyard was left with Ruan Shu and her pet, but she didn't feel lonely at all.
Cuddling her pet, she then climbed into the basket, feeling lazy and comfortable.
Her chubby little legs, half exposed, looked so plump and elastic, just begging to be pinched.
"Shu Shu, do you want some milk?"
The slightly mechanical voice of her pet came, already bringing the milk to her.
Ruan Shu, with her eyes half-closed, thanked her pet politely and then continued to doze off lazily in the basket.
Her pet went to get a blanket for her.
After about an hour of napping, she woke up, her fluffy head rubbing against the soft pillow.
With her hair all messed up, Ruan Shu's delicate face looked confused, as if she didn't know where she was.
It wasn't until her pet meowed that she fully woke up.
She had entered another world where her mother still didn't love her, but she had a strong and caring father who didn't mind comforting her!
Gradually waking up, Ruan Shu thought of her father and smiled happily, looking a bit silly and not very clever.
