The child in the cradle slept soundly, with narrow eyelids under the thick eyelashes, and a faint smile on the thin cherry blossom lips.

Ling Mulao got up and walked to the cradle, but she did not pick up the child. She just squatted there silently until dawn broke the next day, when the child slowly opened its innocent eyes and shouted, "Mom, hug~"

When Xiaoyi was 10 months old, she could already speak fluently, such as, "Mom, Xiaoyi likes my mother the most." For example, "Mom, Xiaoyi wants to eat meat." Or, "Mom, Xiaoyi wants to eat meat."

I will protect you when I grow up."

These innocent and childish words with cooing sounds, maybe Xiaoyi himself didn't know what they meant, but they made Ling Muchao very happy to hear them.

Although there was always pain in her heart unconsciously, Ling Mulao thought that she was still happy. Her child gave her the motivation to live every time she tired of opening her eyes.

On this day, the sky was very clear.

It was midsummer again, and it happened to be the day when Xiaoyi turned one year old. Hua Wuxin took Ling Muchao, mother and son out of Yunyao Island, saying that he was taking them out for a walk.

Xiaoyi was very happy after hearing this, hugging Ling Mulao's thigh and laughing, "Mother, Uncle Hua is so kind!"

"Xiao Yi, it's dad!" Hua Wuxin frowned and corrected in a stern voice.

"Woo...Uncle Hua is so cruel!" Xiaoyi's watery eyes burst into tears as soon as he heard this, and he cried so sadly.

Ling Mulao hugged Xiaoyi distressedly and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyi is still young, so we can't be too hasty."

At this time, the spirit duck would always appear on Yunyao Island every month. He happened to see this scene when he arrived. He couldn't help but glared at Hua Wuxin and said: "The owner of Hua Island is a bad guy and bullies children!"

After that, he patted Xiaoyi's head with his wings and comforted him: "Xiaoyi, don't cry. Can the spirit duck play with you?"

Xiaoyi raised his head and saw that it was the spirit duck. He stretched out his chubby little hands to grab the spirit duck and said with a smile: "Ducky duck, mother~ Xiaoyi likes this sexy duck!"

Spirit Duck: ".."

After leaving Yunyao Island, Hua Wuxin said that he wanted to take her to the mortal world. In the past, Ling Mulao always thought that they were in the same world, but he did not expect that there was another world.

Not knowing where he was, Ling Mulao walked around the market. The streets were lined with shops and crowded with people. It was a bustling scene unlike anything found in Yunyao Island.

Xiaoyi had a great time and bought a lot of gadgets at the stall. Not only did Ling Mulao hold a lot of them, Hua Wuxin also held a lot, but they didn't need a carriage to carry them.

At noon, they found a restaurant for dinner and ordered some home-cooked side dishes. Xiaoyi liked them very much and ate them with gusto.

Since she woke up last time, Ling Mulao's appetite has been bad and she always stops eating after a little while. Hua Wuxin can't help but frown, pick up a chopstick of vegetables and put it into her bowl.

"Thank you." Ling Mulao smiled politely, but did not eat any more.

".."

Hua Wuxin sighed inaudibly after hearing the words. One and a half years may be long or short, but Ling Mulao is still lukewarm towards him.

Although they were husband and wife, she never slept with him in the same bed, and he even refused to hold her hand. It seems that her memory disappeared but she still thought of him in her heart.

"This wine is good, good wine!" Lingya hadn't drank and eaten so happily for a long time, and after a few more sips, he was already drunk.
