The warm sunshine is like the warm hand of a lover, soothing the lonely soul.

Hearing the childish voice, Mu Dongdong turned his head and the figure of a little girl appeared in his eyes. She was wearing a yellow dress with two braids. Her clear black eyes timidly stared at him as she said:

"Uncle, do you still remember me?"

There was a faint smile on her rosy cheeks. A few steps behind her was a small boy. He was slightly shorter, but his pair of beautiful long eyes were shiny and black, making people feel happy upon seeing him.

The man's resolute voice became gentle as he said with an unknown joy, "Nannan."

"Uncle!" Seeing that Mu Dong had called out his name, the little girl's smile became even sweeter. She moved closer to Mu Dong and stood next to him.

After he stood still, he waved towards the nearby baby and said, "Baby, quickly come over. I'll introduce uncle to you!"

At this moment, the smile on Mu Xiangdong's face grew wider and wider. He looked at the little boy who was walking towards him, both hands still holding the drawing board. His long eyes sparkled, and a bashful smile hung on his face as he called out, "Uncle."

As soon as she said that, she lowered her head shyly, her small hands anxiously pinching the edge of her drawing board.

Compared to his elder sister Nannan, the baby's personality was a lot more introverted. Seeing Mu Dongfang like this made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

Mu Dongfang looked at the child in front of him. The boy's face was pale, and his lips were not as red as a child's. When he thought about how he had been sick, Mu Dongfang's love for his baby grew even stronger.

"Uncle, this is my little brother. He's called 'Baby'. You saved him last time, so we didn't have time to thank you." Nannan could not wait any longer as she said a whole bunch of words with her small mouth.

Mu Dong looked at the little girl and then at the boy. His heart became soft and indescribable. It was as if he had known these two children for a very long time. This familiarity made him happy.

Hearing her sister's words, the baby raised her head and met Mu Dongfang's gaze. Her bright black eyes clearly reflected the figure of a person.

"Baby, do you have anything to say to me?" In his mind, he recalled the first time he had seen the child. At that time, the child was lying there with his eyes closed, his face pale, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. He felt pity for the child, but he could not bear it.

The baby never liked to talk since he was young, unless it was absolutely necessary. He rarely opened his mouth, and it was only in front of Xia Mu and Nannan that he spoke a little more, but seeing this uncle of his who saved his life, the baby was extremely excited. He wanted to loudly tell his uncle that he thanked him for saving himself.

However, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't say it.

Seeing the drawing board being squeezed so tightly that it turned red, the baby took a deep breath, his face paled slightly, and a small voice came out: "Uncle, thank you for saving me."

The smile on Mu Xiangdong's face grew wider. He extended his hand toward the little boy. "Nice to meet you!"

The baby stared at the hand that was reaching toward him. The hand was large, even larger than his mother, Xia Mu, and he looked at Mu Dong, who was looking down at him with a smile in his eyes. He switched hands with the drawing board, reached out his small hand, and placed it in the palm of his hand.

In the man's big palm was a child's hand. The hand was very big, and looked even smaller than a little boy's hand.

Nannan, who was watching from the side, looked at her uncle and baby talking. She could not help but feel jealous as her crisp voice rang out, "Uncle, I want to shake hands too!"

The man's deep laughter followed the clear and melodious voice of a child. Under the sunlight, it travelled very far …

"This is your pancake, please take it!" After sending off the last customer, Xia Mu was finally able to catch his breath.

Because it was the weekend, all the people who were eating came a little later than usual. There was only Xia Mu in the whole stand. After being busy for a while, his body was covered in a layer of sweat.

However, he didn't see the two children.

Just as he was wondering where the two children had gone to, he raised his head and saw the man who was talking to the children with his head lowered. Under the golden sunlight, the man's face was filled with determination. The corners of his lips were slightly curved upwards and his thick eyebrows relaxed. Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat.

The girl stared blankly at the figure. Her large eyes widened, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. Actually, it had only been a few days since they had last met, yet she could hear the voice within her heart.

"How long has it been since I last saw you?"

where do you think you are,

So it was right in the bottom of my heart,

"Accompany me in my breathing!"

Xia Mu stared blankly at the voice, and could hear him and the children's voices. She heard her daughter ask, "Uncle, have you eaten yet?"

This feeling of having an adult man accompany them was something Nannan and the baby had never experienced before, especially with the baby. Since he was young, he had always been by his mother's side, Xia Mu, and his sister's, Nannan's side, as there was never an adult male by his side.

Xia Mu thought that he should stand up and greet the other party, but she didn't want to ruin the scene in front of her. The man was talking to the children in a low voice, while her two children, one on his left and one on his right, were sitting beside him, especially her son and baby.

This son had a cold personality since he was young and didn't like to talk. Other than feeling a little emotional when facing his family, most of the time, he was cold and aloof. For a while, Xia Mu worried about whether his son was autistic or not, but today's baby was different.

A smile that came from the heart hung on the child's face. In reality, this kind of smile was that of a three year old child.

Mu Dong, thank you for making them so happy, thank you!

Xia Mu thought to himself, until the baby looked up and shouted in Xia Mu's direction, "Mom!"

Mu Dong turned his head to meet Xia Mu's gaze. Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat as he lowered his head. His hands, which were placed on his knees, were subconsciously twisted together.

A kind of nervous feeling permeated her entire body, and her heart unconsciously became chaotic along with it.

The man stared straight ahead, looking at the young girl bathed in sunlight. With a fresh ponytail and an unpainted face, he quickly lowered his head when he saw her, looking as timid as a frightened deer.

Nannan and the baby were just chattering, as they saw the scene between their uncle and mother so the two children naturally did not know what happened.

Nannan looked towards Mu Dong while her uncle looked towards her mother, who had her head lowered, thinking about something.

The little girl's eyes darted around as she couldn't figure out what had happened. Why did she say it so well just now? But why did her uncle become so stupid? He could only look at his mother.

Nannan gave her brother a look but it was useless as Baby Xia was still immersed in the joy of seeing a hero save a life and did not receive a message from her sister.

Baby Xia looked at Mu Dong and then at Xia Mu. He grinned even more happily. The sun today was really warm, but not as warm as his uncle's hands!

He was truly very happy!

The silence was broken by Nannan.

"Uncle, our pancakes are very delicious, would you like to try it?" The little girl was very eloquent, she spoke each word very clearly.

A single sentence woke Xia Mu up. Since they were already here, they couldn't just ignore them. In that case, it would be rude.

Calming himself down, Xia Mu stood up and walked towards the small table. The distance between them was really short, and before the short Xia Mu could finish his first sentence, he was already in front of the small table.

Nannan and the baby raised their head to look at Xia Mu as Mu Dongdong sat there smiling but not speaking.

Six eyes focused at the same time on Xia Mu, who was standing alone.

Xia Mu tugged at his apron, his heart thinking about whether his face was covered with flour or not. He couldn't help it, in front of Mu Dongdong, she would be nervous, nervous about whether or not she was proper, concerned about her image in his heart, and would even feel inferior to such a resolute and determined man.

But even so, she still couldn't control the desire to get close to him. Perhaps, the more she suppressed it, the more she resisted.

"Mom?" The baby couldn't help but exclaim softly, pulling Xia Mu back to reality.

Xia Mu regained his senses, raising his hand to brush the hair behind his ear, and asked: "Have you eaten?"

Just as she finished her sentence, she heard a soft laugh accompanied by the baby's childish voice, "Mom, Uncle wants to eat pancakes!"

It's over, Xia Mu, you're simply too stupid!

Xia Mu scolded himself in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Then I'll go prepare."

"Mom, I want to eat with uncle!" Nannan made her statement first.

"Mom, I want to eat with uncle as well!" The baby added, unwilling to be left behind.

Xia Mu had a bad taste in his heart. This person had only seen his children for a short while and had already coaxed them to such an extent. On the other hand, as a mother, he always made a fool of himself in front of his children.

"Uncle, hurry up and eat. Mom's pancakes are the most delicious thing in the world!" Nannan sat on the small stool as she crisply said.

The baby also said, "Uncle, try it. It's very tasty." He pointed to the pancakes on the table and said.

Mu Dongfang knew how delicious the pancakes that the children strongly recommended were, but the pancakes today seemed a little different from before. Looking at the two buns beside him, the smile on Mu Dongfang's face deepened.

"Let's eat together." Mu Dongfang placed a pancake each on a small plate in front of the two and said.

"Yes." "Yes!" The baby answered with a smile. Her delicate eyebrows looked even more cute under the sunlight.

Nannan bit a pancake and vaguely said, "Uncle, hurry up and eat this!"

Mu Dongdong extended his hand to touch the top of Nannan's head, then he picked up a pair of chopsticks to pick up the pancake and put it in his mouth.

"Uncle, can I have a taste of yours?"

"Alright." Mu Dongfang picked up a pancake from each of the two children's plates.

Actually they were all the same thing, but Nannan and the baby both agreed that the pancakes on Uncle's plate were delicious!

Xia Mu sat in front of the stall and paid attention to the movement of the small table. He watched the interaction between Mu Dong and the children as his lips curled up slightly. The smile on his face never faded.
