"Hurry up and tidy up." Duke Lu Yan gave him a disdainful look without hiding it, walked to the steps at the entrance, and sat down with a thud. He picked up his worn-out canvas shoes and put them on.

Tong Tong blinked her big eyes and walked to Lu Yan Jun's side. She first looked at the shoe in his hand, then glanced at Lu Yan Jun's profile. She looked at the shoe again... and then looked at her own Jun Jun...

His round, bulging head turned back and forth, almost completely visible in the corner of Luyan Jun's eye.

Staring at him while shaking his head for a long time, Lu Yanjun couldn't hold back any longer. He reached out and poked Xiao Tong's little head with his index finger, saying, "What are you looking at? Do you despise me for being poor?"

Tong Tong, once again, lost balance and rolled on the ground several times.

Lu Yan Jun couldn't help but burst into laughter as he stared at his foolish appearance. He leaned over and grabbed a handful of the still downed Tong Tong's little belly, saying, "Why are you so silly? Always falling over for no reason?"

"Um... Tongtong is not stupid!" Tongtong grabbed Lu Yanjun's finger with both hands and struggled for a while before finally climbing up from the ground. Pouting, she hummed towards Lu Yanjun and said, "Junjun is being mean!"

"Okay, okay, stop fooling around." Duke Lu Yan pulled him over to his side, shaking off the two little hands of the child-like Tang Tang, and lowered his head to continue tying his shoelaces.

Even he himself didn't realize it, the curvature of his lips became increasingly profound.

Walking out of the door with an umbrella in hand, Lord Luyan strode purposefully down the corridor towards the outside.

Walking to the staircase, Lu Yanjun quickly descended the steps with a rumbling sound. Just as he was about to ask that little brat where would be a suitable place to find the so-called "good premonition," he turned his head and discovered that Tong Tong's figure had disappeared.

Having stood still for a minute, Luyan Jun blinked his eyes and finally caught sight of a figure at the corner of the staircase...

Tong Tong was using his round little belly as support, lying prone on the edge of the stairs with his short legs dangling downwards. Because he was really short, he could only climb down these adult-sized stairs one by one in this manner.

After swaying on tiptoes for quite some time, she finally found solid ground. With this assurance, Tongtong cautiously shifted her body backward and hopped onto the next set of steps.

After stabilizing himself, he even wiped his forehead with his hand. Despite being a child, his actions resembled that of a middle-aged man. It was simply indescribably comical.

"Hey, with your slow pace, how many years will it take for you to descend these stairs?" Lu Yanjun approached with a sly smile, arching one eyebrow at Tong Tong. "Little one, do you need my assistance?"

Upon hearing these words, Tong Tong's face suddenly lit up with a sweet smile, and she began jumping up and down while waving her hand at Lu Yanjun, saying, "Can I get a hug from Tong Tong?"

"No way!" With a twitch on his forehead, Luyan Jun grabbed Tongtong and pulled him down from the steps. As soon as they were on level ground, he let go. "Let's go, don't waste any more time! Where do you want to go?"

"Let's go to the convenience store!" Although there was some dissatisfaction on Tong Tong's face, she still pouted and spoke softly, "Can Jun Jun hug Tong Tong?...I got water all over me..."

Lu Yanjun heard these words and lowered his head to look down. Tong Tong had been standing on the ground for a while, and his clothes were already slightly wet. It was probably because of his height that the umbrella had no effect on him at all.

This...

No matter what, Tong Tong is a child.

Letting him follow along with me like this all the way, it seems a little unorthodox...

After hesitating for a long time, Luyan Jun finally extended both of his hands and held Tongtong, placing him on the back of his neck. Before he had a chance to say anything, he felt the little thing sitting on his neck, with both hands holding onto his head tightly.

It was that warm and cozy feeling again, so comfortable.

"Tightly hold on!" Tongtong nestled her face against Luyan Jun's occiput, revealing a row of small teeth as she grinned widely, "Let's go~ Depart!"
