As a new star in the fashion circle, Jiang Ciyou was invited to attend the Paris Fashion Week. At this moment, she was standing backstage, surrounded by a busy scene. Stylists were holding various tools and moving around the models, carefully taking care of every detail, striving to make the clothes and makeup fit perfectly. Jiang Ciyou was concentrating on examining the upcoming clothing series, whispering with the designers from time to time and offering her professional insights. She was wearing a simple and elegant black slim dress. The irregular cut of the skirt added a bit of agility. With the exquisite diamond clavicle chain, she exuded confidence and calmness, shining in the center of this fashion vortex.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang sharply, breaking the noise in the background. Jiang Ciyou saw that the caller ID showed the number of her daughter's school, and her heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She quickly picked up the phone, and the teacher's anxious voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Lu Xingyao's mother? I'm sorry to bother you. Xingyao participated in a robot competition, and her work was maliciously destroyed by a competitor in the background. She is now in a very low mood..." Jiang Ciyou couldn't hear what the teacher said next, and her heart was filled with the helplessness of her daughter at the moment.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ciyou didn't hesitate at all. She pulled off the shawl from her shoulders, threw it on the chair, and rushed to the airport in her 10-centimeter high heels. The high heels collided with the ground, making a crisp and rapid sound, as if it was the drumbeat of her anxious mood at the moment. Along the way, she kept calling to arrange the itinerary, her voice was cold and decisive, and the assistant on the other end of the phone responded, quickly booked the next return flight, and arranged for the pick-up.

After arriving at the airport, Jiang Ciyou trotted all the way to the boarding gate, completely ignoring the strange looks from others. Her hair was a little messy, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, but her eyes were firm. After boarding the plane, she sat in her seat, tapping her fingers unconsciously on the armrest, and her daughter's focused expression when she was making robots kept appearing in her mind. She was filled with heartache and self-blame, blaming herself for not being able to protect her daughter.

When the plane landed, Jiang Ciyou almost rushed off the plane. She didn't even bother to pick up her suitcase and ran directly to the airport exit. The driver who had been waiting there saw her and hurriedly started the car. Along the way, Jiang Ciyou kept urging the driver to drive faster, looking at the street scene passing by quickly outside the window, but her thoughts had already drifted to her daughter.

When she rushed into the arena, the noisy scene seemed to quiet down instantly. Jiang Ciyou searched anxiously, and finally saw her husband and daughter in the corner. Lu Jingchen was half squatting on the ground, with robot parts scattered on the ground beside him. His hands were fiddling with them skillfully, his eyes focused and steady. Xingyao squatted aside, her little hands tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, with tears still in her eyes. When she saw her mother coming, she curled her lips and called out aggrievedly: "Mom..."

Jiang Ciyou took a few steps forward, hugged her daughter in her arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly: "Baby, don't cry, mommy is here." Her eyes swept to the messy parts on the ground, her heart burning with anger, and she secretly vowed to find out who was so cruel to do such a thing to a child.

Lu Jingchen raised his head and looked at his wife, their eyes conveying comfort and strength. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a comforting smile, and said: "Don't worry, our Xingyao's work is the best. Even if it is damaged, it can stand up again." As he said, he picked up a part and showed it to Jiang Ciyou, "Look, although this part is damaged, I have already understood the structure, and it is not difficult to repair it."

Jiang Ciyou nodded slightly, let go of her daughter, squatted down, and joined the repair work. Her slender fingers carefully picked up the parts, and with the calmness and carefulness she had learned at the business negotiation table, she carefully distinguished the purpose of each part. The family of three gathered together, and the surrounding noise seemed to have nothing to do with them. At this moment, they had only one goal in mind - to bring Xingyao's robot back to life.

As the parts were reassembled one by one, the prototype of the robot gradually emerged. Xingyao gradually stopped crying, and a spark of hope rekindled in her eyes. She handed over parts from time to time to help. While repairing, Lu Jingchen explained the principle to his daughter: "Baby, look at this gear, it is the key to power transmission. It was knocked a little crooked before, so the robot can't move. Now we calibrate it and it will be restored." Xingyao listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and the haze on her face gradually dissipated.

Just when they were about to complete the repair, the rival team passed by. The leading boy saw this scene, a trace of disdain appeared on his face, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, so what even if it's repaired, you can't beat us." The children beside him also laughed.

Xingyao's face flushed with anger when she heard this. She stood up suddenly and said loudly, "Don't laugh at my robot. It will definitely win!" Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen looked at each other, their eyes full of admiration for their daughter's courage. Jiang Ciyou gently pulled her daughter over, helped her tidy up her messy hair, and said softly, "Baby, you are right. We have confidence, and winning or losing is not important. What's important is that we don't give up."

Lu Jingchen stood up, his tall figure carrying an aura of majesty without even being angry. He glanced at the other party coldly, and said in a low and powerful voice: "There's nothing to brag about a victory won by unfair means. Let's see who will have the last laugh in a real fight." The other party was intimidated by Lu Jingchen's aura, curled his lips, and walked away in disgrace.

In the last few minutes before the competition officially started, Xingyao's robot was finally repaired. It stood steadily on the display stand, looking brand new, and the paint on its body gleamed under the light, as if telling of its unyielding spirit. Xingyao stood aside, her little hands clenched into fists, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.

The whistle of the competition blew, and each robot took the stage one by one. Some nimbly shuttled through obstacles, and some accurately grabbed objects, causing the audience to exclaim from time to time. When it was Xingyao's robot's turn, it started slowly and moved forward steadily. Its mechanical arm stretched freely and successfully completed one task after another. Its movements were as smooth as flowing water. Xingyao jumped up excitedly, her little face flushed, and she shouted loudly: "Come on, you are the best!" Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen also applauded and cheered, their eyes full of pride.

In the end, although Xingyao's robot did not win first place, when the judges announced the results, the whole audience burst into warm applause. Xingyao ran to the stage and carefully took back her robot, with tears in her eyes. These were not tears of failure, but tears of pride for her efforts and persistence.

The family of three walked out of the stadium hand in hand, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, stretching three shadows of happiness. Jiang Ciyou looked down at her daughter, feeling deeply moved, and said softly: "Baby, you are so brave today, mom is proud of you." Xingyao raised her head, with a bright smile on her face, and nodded vigorously: "I know, mom, I won't be afraid of difficulties in the future!" Lu Jingchen put his hands on the shoulders of the mother and daughter, and said with a smile: "As a family, we will always overcome difficulties together."

After returning home, Jiang Ciyou cooked a sumptuous dinner. At the table, Xingyao chattered about the fun things in the game, and her dancing made her parents laugh. Lu Jingchen picked up food for his daughter from time to time, his eyes full of doting. Jiang Ciyou looked at this scene, her heart full of warmth, she knew that no matter what they encountered in the future, as long as the family was together, there would be no obstacles that could not be overcome.

At night, Xingyao fell asleep sweetly holding the repaired robot. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen came to the balcony, and they stood in each other's arms, looking at the starry night sky. Jiang Ciyou leaned on her husband's arms and whispered, "I was really scared today, but fortunately you are here." Lu Jingchen tightened his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and responded gently, "Don't be afraid, we will always protect Xingyao and this home." The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on them, coating this warm picture with a layer of silver, as if witnessing this deep love and protection, which will continue forever.
