The servant named Lin Jin stepped forward and said

"Second Master, I just paid for this lantern, but she insisted that it was her favorite."

Yingyue pointed at his nose and said unceremoniously

"You're talking nonsense. We were just looking at the lanterns here. When we selected several and were ready to pay, you suddenly came over and threw down the money and wanted to take it away. Don't you know that everything is based on first come first served?"

Yuzhu also echoed

"That's right. We had clearly made our choice, but you hijacked it. Why are you still blaming me?"

Lin Jin was in a daze for a moment. When he came here just now, he only saw a lot of people gathered here, but he didn't notice whether they were selling lanterns.

He looked at the lantern seller.

“Did they really choose this lantern?”

The boss nodded with some embarrassment.

"This young man was indeed seen by these girls first."

Lin Jin was surprised for a moment when he heard this, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"My little son wanted a rabbit lantern. I didn't notice you were looking at me. I'm sorry, but could you please give me the lantern?"

After Lin Jin understood what happened, his attitude changed quickly and he apologized very sincerely, which made Yuzhu and Yingyue lose their temper.

At this time, another servant came over holding a child of four or five years old and shouted

"Lin Jin, you bought the rabbit lamp. The little boy cried all the way."

The young master, who was called the Second Master, took the child and coaxed him patiently. Yingyue and Nanzhu saw that it was such a baby and they didn't want to snatch it from others, so they said,

"Since the child likes it, you can keep it and we will choose something else."

Lin Jin thanked him repeatedly

"Thank you, girls."

The young man holding the child spoke in a cold voice

"Thank you for your love. Lin Jin was reckless and disturbed the ladies' pleasure. I will buy the lanterns for you ladies as an apology."

Hearing this, Lin Jin behind him stepped forward and paid all the money for their lanterns.

Jiang Sheng bowed and said calmly

"Thank you very much, sir."

The second master nodded, then turned around and left with the child in his arms.

Lin Jin held the rabbit lantern and teased the young master as he walked, making him laugh.

This little episode was soon forgotten by Yuzhu and the others, who continued to select lanterns with great interest.

In the end, not only did each of them hold a lantern, they also selected two more, planning to take them back to He Ruolan and Xu Feng.

They walked and ate as they went, and by the time they had finished visiting the entire market, the moon was already high in the sky.

Yuzhu and Nanzhu bought a lot of food and were so full that they wanted to walk a little longer.

It was a rare lively occasion, so Jiang Sheng accompanied them.

When they were near a circus performance, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd. The crowd gathered together, and no one knew what was going on. Yuzhu and Nanzhu squeezed into the crowd, and then their shouts were heard.

"Miss, Miss, come quickly, there's something wrong with this child!"

Jiang Sheng pushed through the crowd and rushed in, and it turned out to be the young man from before.

The child's face turned red, and he was obviously having trouble breathing. Jiang Sheng squatted down.

"What's wrong!"

The elegant man had lost his composure and said in panic

"Yuan Bao just ate too much and seemed to be choking..."

Before he could finish, Jiang Sheng grabbed the child and used the Heimlich maneuver he had learned in the system to rescue the child.

The young man wanted to stop him at first, but was stopped by Yingqiu's sword. Seeing the child's head gradually drooping, Jiang Sheng also increased his strength.

After a few bites, a glutinous rice ball mixed with blood was vomited out by the child.

The child's face turned red and he was breathing heavily. Then he hugged Jiang Sheng and burst into tears.

Jiang Sheng patted his back gently to comfort him, and there were bursts of applause and cheers all around.

The elegant man instantly breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to thank

"Thank you for your help, young lady. I will never forget your life-saving grace. I hope you can leave your address so that I can give you the medical fee and thank-you gift later."

Jiang Sheng nodded and did not refuse

"it is good."

Yingqiu told Lin Jin their address, and Jiang Sheng wanted to return the sobbing child in his arms to his father.

Unexpectedly, the child refused to let go and had no intention of leaving at all.

The elegant man was a little embarrassed, and his voice was a little serious.

"Yuanbao, come down immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanbao snorted coldly and pointed his butt at the man opposite him again.

The man opposite him instantly turned grim.

Jiang Sheng gently patted his little butt

"Little Dumpling, go find your daddy."

The chubby little Yuanbao shook his head and said with sobs

"I don't want a daddy, he's a mean guy, I want a mommy."

Jiang Sheng was stunned. Could the mother he was talking about be himself?

She doesn't want to be a mother painlessly.

"Little Dumpling, I'm not your mother, be good and go find your father."

When the little girl heard her say this, her big watery eyes instantly filled with tears.

"Mother, don't you want the ingots again? Daddy said that mother is very beautiful, like a fairy. Aren't you one? Woohoo... I don't care... You are my mother... Woohoo..."

Jiang Sheng looked at the man as if asking for help.

The elegant man held Yuanbao tightly with a frown on his face.

"Yuanbao, she is not your mother. Didn't your father tell you that your mother went to heaven to pick stars for you?

Because the journey is too long, you can only come back when you grow up."

When Jiang Sheng and the others heard this, they felt very upset, because it turned out that the mother of this little girl was no longer around.

Little Tuanzi looked at Jiang Sheng with some grievance in his eyes.

"Is she really not my mother?"

The man shook his head, and the little boy whispered after a long while.

"But I miss my mother."

The man looked at him with pity, and moved his mouth for a long time, but didn't say a word.

It can be seen that he is not good at comforting people.

Jiang Sheng exchanged some candies from the space and walked up to the little dumpling.

"My dear little girl, you can't cry after eating your aunt's candy.

Time flies. When you grow up, your mother will come back. So, be more patient, okay?"

Little Dumpling wiped his tears and took the candy only after seeing his father nod.

"Thank you, aunt."

Seeing that she stopped crying, Jiang Sheng, Nan Zhu and the others turned around and left.

The little boy suddenly said

"Aunt, can I come see you?"

Jiang Sheng knew that he had just been frightened, and perhaps because she had saved him, he might be somewhat dependent on her.

She didn't refuse.

"of course can."

Only then did the little dumpling happily start to eat the candy.

There was no sign of her crying just now. This scene made Yuzhu feel so cute.

"Miss, look how cute he is."
