"Be good, An An. Uncle will come pick you up from kindergarten tomorrow. We still need to sing about three bears." As Lei Zichen spoke, he started to dance and twist his body, causing the two of them to laugh out loud.

Lei Zichen walked to the door and quickly opened it. After the past few days of walking in and out, he was already very familiar with the environment of Tao Yao's house.

"Eh, Auntie?" The moment he opened the door, Lei Zichen saw Auntie Zhong standing at the entrance.

"Ah?" Auntie Zhong? " Hearing Lei Zichen's voice, Tao Tian also rushed to the door in an attempt to get a better look.

"Auntie, why are you at the door? Why don't you knock and come in?" Because he knew about the inner workings of the matter, Tao Yao always had a strange feeling when he saw Lei Zichen and Auntie Zhong together.

"Ah, aren't we about to knock on the door? Lei Dong opened the door." Auntie Zhong couldn't hide her excitement when she saw Lei Zichen. Her eyes never left Lei Zichen's face.

"Uh, Auntie, what can I do for you?" Tao Tian cautiously asked. Previously, he had promised Auntie Zhong that he wouldn't reveal his identity, and Auntie Zhong also knew that he had a special identity so she wouldn't easily reveal it.

"No …." "Nothing." Auntie Zhong was somewhat embarrassed as she ran her hands through her hair at her temples. That's right, I just wanted to ask if Aran had come back yet. Today, I saw that there were special products from Yan City for sale at the market, so I bought some to invite you two siblings over to have a taste. " Auntie Zhong said these words with great difficulty. It could be seen that she was not good at lying, and Tao Tian knew her intentions very well.

"Auntie, big brother will be back soon. How about you go in and wait for him?" Tao Yao naturally wanted to help this mother who missed her son, so she took the opportunity to tell Auntie Zhong. As soon as she finished speaking, Auntie Zhong looked at Tao Tian with gratitude.

"Why don't you bring An An to our house and wait for us? Give him a call. Lei Dong, if you don't mind, come along too," Auntie Zhong said as she looked at Lei Zichen expectantly, hoping he would nod.

"This... Won't it disturb you too much? " Lei Zichen felt a bit awkward. After all, he had just met this auntie and was always eating at her home. He couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

"Yes …" "That's right, Lei Dong. Since you're also going out to eat tonight, why not eat with auntie?" Noticing Lei Zichen's hesitation, Tao Tian hurriedly said.

"Then... "Fine." Hearing Tao Tian's invitation, Lei Zichen happily agreed. After all, he could spend more time with the two of them. He would also feel very happy if he had another second. He knew that there was something that was slowly returning to their side.

"That's great!" Auntie Zhong was so excited that she wanted to clap her hands. "Then come quickly," she said as she hurriedly pulled Lei Zichen towards her room.

"Grandma, what about me?" Seeing that Auntie Zhong's attention was no longer on him, An An's little heart felt a little disappointed.

"Ah, our little An'an is naturally the person that grandmother would like to invite the most." Auntie Zhong came back to her senses. She lowered her head and stroked An An An's plump face. "Let's go. Grandmother will bring you to eat delicious food." Auntie Zhong said as she reached out with her other hand to pull An An along with her as they walked in the direction of their own home.

If his mother was still by his side, she would probably be around the same age. Lei Zichen thought for a moment and stared at Auntie Zhong, the fragrance of the orchids filled his mind. He felt that this hospitable auntie in front of him was more familiar, but he couldn't remember the memories.

"Auntie, wait a moment, I'll bring some of the meat sauce I made myself over to you." Tao Tian didn't want to be empty-handed. This was the usual practice that she had come here for, so Auntie Zhong did not stop her.

"Ah, alright then. Hurry up, we'll wait for you at home." Auntie Zhong said as she turned her head. Her eyes were filled with joy and gratitude.

"Hello, big brother, Auntie Zhong is looking for us to eat again, and there's also Lei Zichen." Tao Tian dialed his brother's number. He wanted to ask when his brother would return. "When are you coming back?"

"Oh? "This aunt Zhong really loves her son." Tao Ran's tone was laced with envy. After all, his mother had disappeared for so many years.

"Here we are. I'm stopping downstairs." Tao Ran replied, "Alright, I won't say anymore. I'll be going upstairs immediately."

"Thump thump thump." After the sound of hurried footsteps, Tao Ran opened the door and said, "Yao Yao, I'm back."

"Big brother is back. Let's go. I brought some meat sauce over to Auntie Zhong." Tao Yao said to Tao Ran as he shook the box in his hand.

"Alright, we'll go over after I change." Tao Ran rushed into his bedroom.

"Yes, brother, there's no need to be in such a rush. Let the two of them spend more time together." Tao Tian quietly sat in a corner of the sofa as he hastily spoke to Tao Ran.

"Oh, that's true. Alright then." In that case, Tao Ran slowed down his work.

"Yao Yao." Tao Ran softly called out with his back facing Tao Tian, "Today … Lei Zichen came to our house again? " Tao Ran asked very carefully, not daring to look back at Tao Tian's expression.

"That's right, but it's just to let An An to rehearse her Family Day program. Well, the props are still there," Tao Tian calmly replied as he pointed at the bear puppet at the side.

"Oh, the day after tomorrow, right? I remember. I'll go and take your pictures." Tao Ran's voice was a little shaky, and even his back was trembling slightly. Although he had explained it clearly to his little sister, the excessive feeling in his heart still made him feel lost. No matter how his little sister denied it, it was fine.

"Big brother …" Sensing Tao Ran's abnormality, Tao Tian tried to call him softly. "You …" "It's fine."

"It's okay, what's wrong with me?" Tao Ran turned around and gave Tao Tian a big smile.

"Big brother, your smile is so cool." Tao Tian walked over and gently patted Tao Ran's shoulder.

"I'm leaving. It's been too long since I've seen An An. I'll be worried." As he spoke, he took Tao Ran's arm and walked towards the door.

Tao Ran lowered his head to look at his arm that was being held by Tao Tian in a daze. Then he smiled and went with Tao Tian to Auntie Zhong's house.

"Mommy, Uncle, you guys are really slow." As soon as the two entered the room, An An hastily rushed over.

"Zichen, you came as well." Tao Ran nodded towards Lei Zichen as a greeting.

"Brother Ran," Lei Zichen also bowed and nodded towards Tao Ran. He didn't know why, but he had a sort of reverence towards this big brother of his.

"Uncle, come quickly. We, uncle, and Mommy rehearsed three bears today, and Mommy thought of doing it." An An pulled Tao Ran along as he excitedly recounted what had just happened.

"Oh? "Really? Then how is An An's training going?" Tao Ran asked with a doting expression as he held An An in his arms.

"En," An An leaned her chin on her hands and thought for a while. "Not bad, just that uncle doesn't know how to sing, but Mommy has already copied out the lyrics for him. Uncle said he's smart enough to learn it." Anthea said as she winked, causing everyone to laugh out loud.

"Oh? It's true! " Tao Ran pretended to be surprised and impressed as he looked at Lei Zichen.

"Hehe, Brother Ran, we're just here to coax little kids." Being stared at by Tao Ran, Lei Zichen said in embarrassment.

"No matter what you say, a child will take it seriously." Tao Ran smiled and no longer spoke.

"Uncle, do you want me to show you?" An An An said excitedly, looking eager to give it a try.

"Alright, I'll wait for someone to finish their meal, alright? Look, Grandma's food has already been prepared." Tao Ran smiled as he pointed to the fragrant kitchen and said to little An An.

"Okay." An An An nodded, her big eyes rolling around as her small body restlessly moved in Tao Ran's embrace.

"Alright, alright, little devil. Go play, but the meal is about to start." He had always treated him as if he were his own daughter, even better than his own daughter. Just thinking about his unhappy childhood, Tao Ran wanted to give everything he could to this little angel, because he was her child, and had a pair of eyes as clear and moving as hers.

Just as An An was getting excited, Auntie Zhong came out from the kitchen and shouted, "Time to eat!" Behind him, Tao Tian was also helping to carry the dishes. The dishes for today were very sumptuous. It was obvious that Auntie Zhong had bought some by chance.

"Wow, auntie, do you usually cook this much food as well?" Lei Zichen asked incredulously as he looked at the table that was instantly filled with all kinds of delicious food.

"Uh, are there any cheap goods in the market today? So I bought more. Usually, when the siblings don't have time to cook, they often come to our house to eat, so I'm used to making more dishes." Auntie Zhong hurriedly explained, afraid that Lei Zichen would notice something amiss.

"Oh, so it's like that. Brother Ran, you guys sure have a great time." Lei Zichen's words were definitely not a compliment. The last time he came out from Auntie Zhong's house, the food had made his lips burn.

Hearing that Lei Zichen was praising her, Auntie Zhong became even more excited. "That Lei Dong, if you have time, you can come often. Auntie will cook some good food for you."

"Ah, alright." Lei Zichen hurriedly nodded his head. He was truly willing to come here to eat.

Tao Tian crossed his arms as he quietly watched this scene. At this moment, only Auntie Zhong herself knew the feeling of not meeting each other.

What about him? This was really a strange scene. They were clearly a mother and son, yet they could not recognize each other, they were clearly father and son, but they could not recognize each other either. Everyone who was sitting in this house seemed to be related to each other by blood, yet they just sat there quietly and looked at each other without calling each other 'kin'.

Thinking like this, Tao Tian suddenly became courageous in his heart. No matter how bad the consequences were, he had already shouldered it himself. What was there to be afraid of? Give me a little time, family day, family day, after family day, I hope, the heavens will give me a satisfactory answer, she silently made up her mind in her heart to tell Lei Zichen An's background, anyway he had already begun to suspect, just to give him a definite answer. Having made up his mind, Tao Tian suddenly felt that the weight on his body had decreased a lot, whether he could reunite with his family or not, she could not deprive An'an of her right to own father.
