It's not too late to meet in the book

The sun gently shone on every corner of the park, casting a golden veil over this spring afternoon. In the children's play area, beside a spacious sand pool, the laughter and cheers of children intertwined into a cheerful melody, adding a touch of vitality and energy to this quiet afternoon.

Lin Yu held Lin Yuxuan's hand and slowly stepped into this sea of ​​joy. Lin Yuxuan, a four-year-old boy, dressed neatly in a T-shirt and shorts, and a pair of lightweight sneakers, his eyes sparkling with endless curiosity and longing for the world. He followed closely behind Lin Yu, his little face brimming with excitement and anticipation.

"Yuxuan, look over there!" Lin Yu pointed to the sand pool and said softly. He saw several children of similar age sitting around the sand pool, holding small shovels and plastic buckets, concentrating on building sand castles, their faces filled with satisfaction and happiness.

Lin Yuxuan's eyes lit up instantly. He broke free from Lin Yu's hand and walked towards the sand pool with a staggering step. He stood beside the sand, watching the children playing intently, with envy and desire in his eyes.

"They are having so much fun!" Lin Yuxuan turned to look at Lin Yu, his voice filled with shyness and anticipation, "Dad, I want to play in the sand too."

Lin Yu smiled and nodded, encouragingly: "Then go, Yuxuan. Go and play with the children, you will find that the world of sand is very interesting."

However, Lin Yuxuan hesitated. He had never proactively interacted with strangers, let alone joined their games. He stood there, his hands tightly clutching the corners of his clothes, a flicker of uneasiness in his eyes.

Lin Yu saw Lin Yuxuan's concerns. He squatted down gently, looked at Lin Yuxuan at eye level, and said gently: "Yuxuan, don't be afraid. Everyone has their first time. As long as you take this step bravely, you will find new friends and new fun. Dad believes you can do it."

Lin Yuxuan felt a surge of courage as he listened to his father's words. He took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the children by the sand pool.

"Hi, hello!" Lin Yuxuan's voice was trembling, but he still managed to attract the attention of the children. They all looked up at him, their eyes gleaming with curiosity and friendliness.

"Hello!" one of the children responded enthusiastically. "Are you new here? Would you like to play in the sand with us?"

Lin Yuxuan nodded with a shy smile on his face. He carefully sat down next to the children and began to observe how they played with the sand.

"Look, this is how I build a sandcastle." A child picked up a small shovel and skillfully scooped up a pile of sand, then gently patted it to make it more compact. He explained as he did it, like a little teacher.

Lin Yuxuan was fascinated by the scene. He followed the child's example, picked up a small shovel, and began to build his own sand castle. Although his movements were a bit clumsy at first, the children did not laugh at him. Instead, they gave him encouragement and guidance.

"Yes, that's it! You did a great job!" said a child, clapping his hands.

"Add some more sand, it's not high enough here." Another child pointed at Lin Yuxuan's sand castle and made a suggestion.

Lin Yuxuan listened to the children's suggestions and carefully adjusted his sand castle. Gradually, his sand castle became more and more impressive, and he became more and more integrated into the small group.

The sun shines on the sand pool, and the golden sand sparkles in the sun. The children sit around the sand pool, laughing and talking happily, as if the whole world has become beautiful.

Lin Yuxuan had so much fun playing that he forgot the passage of time and his initial shyness and anxiety. He discovered that he could actually interact and play with the children so happily, and this feeling made him feel extremely satisfied and happy.

"Yuxuan, look how beautiful the sand castle you built is!" Lin Yu walked over, looked at Lin Yuxuan's work, and praised it highly.

Lin Yuxuan looked up at his father, his face filled with pride and joy: "Thank you, Dad! The kids taught me."

"See, this is the charm of social interaction," Lin Yu said with a smile. "When you bravely take this step, you will find that the world is full of infinite possibilities and fun."

Lin Yu touched his son's head and said, "You are still young now. When you grow up, you will have more friends."

Lin Yuxuan nodded, deeply impressed. He looked at the children around him, his heart filled with gratitude and cherishment. He knew that these new friends would become some of his most precious childhood memories.

"Children, let's play another game!" Lin Yuxuan suggested. His voice was filled with confidence and joy, as if he had completely integrated into this small group.

"Okay! Okay!" The children responded one after another, and their laughter and cheers once again filled the entire park.
