The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 521 New Mission
As expected, the stall owner kept his word and quickly sculpted a clay figure.

He used colored clay and sculpted a handsome young man in red clothes and black hair.

Little Ayu picked it up, admiring it: "Wow, it's so beautiful! Brother Ayou, give this to me, and you can make another one."

"Okay." Qin Huai nodded with a smile and paid for another meal.

The stall owner happily made another serving and handed it to Qin Huai, casually saying, "Your brother is so good to you, unlike our naughty boy who loves to make his sister cry."

“He’s not my brother,” Qin Huai emphasized. “We are married.”

Xiao Ayu: "Yes, we are engaged."

The stall owner laughed heartily: "It's a childhood betrothal? That's great, a good match should be arranged from childhood."

"Hehehe." Little Ayu didn't understand anything about good or bad marriage, but she was still very happy when others praised them.

Seeing Xiao Ayu smile, Qin Huai smiled along with her.

The stall owner, stroking his beard, also found it quite pleasing to the eye.

Both children are still young, their hearts are not yet open to love, and they are the most sincere.

If they grow up and become a couple, they will be childhood sweethearts and a match made in heaven.

That would be wonderful, of course.

Little Ayu bought a clay figurine and then eagerly dragged Qin Huai to see a play.

Opera troupes rarely stage new plays; they usually perform the same familiar ones over and over again.

Little Ayu had already become familiar with Grandma Wang's teachings; she could not only understand them but also sing along in a few lines.

“Brother Ayou, there’s a play called ‘Changing the Crown Prince’ on today. Let’s watch it together. If you don’t understand, I can explain it to you.” Little Ayu patted her chest, with a proud little expression that said, “I’ve got your back.”

Qin Huai bought tickets at the entrance and booked a private room on the second floor. Tangyuan, who followed behind, and Chitu, who appeared, were also able to enter.

They had just settled into the private room when the performance downstairs began, with gongs and drums beating and creating quite a lively atmosphere.

"Bravo!" After a wonderful performance, the audience cheered.

"Great!" Little Ayu clapped her hands enthusiastically, echoing the shouts in the private room. Her sweet, childlike voice made everyone below laugh.

Qin Huai kept watching Xiao Ayu, seeing the little girl sometimes laughing out loud, sometimes clapping and cheering, and sometimes turning around to tug at her sleeve and call out, "Brother Ayou, did you understand what I just said?"

He just felt that he should have come to find her sooner.

All the suppressed and irritable emotions I had been feeling vanished the moment I saw her.

"Brother Ayou? Brother Ayou?" A pair of little hands waved in front of her eyes.

Qin Huai snapped out of his daze: "Hmm?"

"Do you still want to hear the opera? The previous one is over, didn't you understand?" Little Ayu said. "It's okay, I can tell you. This opera is about an empress who gave birth to a prince in a temple, but accidentally switched him with a peasant woman's child. And then—"

Qin Huai, holding Xiao Ayu's hand, waited until the crowd gradually dispersed before slowly walking out of the private room.

The little girl's voice automatically filtered out from the noise, as if she were the only one who could be heard speaking in the world.

Like an extremely cute lark.

free.

As he walked out of the theater, he overheard Xiao Ayu asking him, "Brother Ayou, if you were that prince who was abandoned in the mountains and grew up, would you, like in the play, return to the capital to reunite with your family and take back your rightful place?"

Qin Huai looked at Xiao Ayu and blurted out, "No."

If she becomes the crown prince, Ayu will become another Empress Qin.

Ayu was born to be free and happy, like a spirit in the mountains.

If it meant breaking her wings, or preventing her from growing up and growing old with him, he would rather not be the crown prince.

Just then, Xiao Ayu heard the long-awaited mission notification sound from Tuanzi.

"Bao, go to the hunting grounds with Qin Huai; there's a new mission there."
