She rushed forward: "Excuse me, what's wrong with the child?"

In the past two years, due to her outstanding work performance, her boss was keen to cultivate her and specially enrolled her in a training course to learn about maternal and infant care. So she knows how to deal with a crying child.

"I was in a rush to leave and forgot to bring my pacifier. Do you have any in the store?"

The woman was very anxious. Looking at the child in her arms, her face was red from crying, and tears were streaming down her face, making one's heart clench.

Zhou Yi said, "Yes, I'll get it for you right now, but it needs to be cleaned and disinfected first, please wait a moment."

While saying "please wait a moment," Zhou Yi's actions were anything but slow.

She immediately grabbed a pacifier for babies aged 0 to 3 months, cleaned and sterilized it quickly and efficiently, then hurried over to the child and gave the pacifier to the woman.

The woman was no ordinary servant; though anxious, she held the child and kept comforting him while watching Zhou Yi's actions.

At first, seeing that Zhou Yi was so young, just a little girl, she was still worried. But when she saw Zhou Yi using the brand of pacifier and cleaning and sterilizing it with practiced ease, the woman felt relieved.

When the pacifier was brought over, the woman immediately took it and fed it to the child.

However, even with the pacifier in the child's mouth, the child still cried incessantly.

Zhou Yi couldn't bear to see children cry; she had a soft heart. Because of this, she was extremely patient and gentle with children, which is why customers liked her.

The child was crying so hard that even a pacifier wasn't working, so she said softly, "Let me do it."

The woman naturally wouldn't easily let a stranger hold her child, but perhaps it was Zhou Yi's skill in handling the pacifier, or perhaps it was the gentleness emanating from Zhou Yi that reassured her, that made her subconsciously hand the child to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi gently took the child. Her movements were not casual; they were deliberate. She placed one hand on the back of the child's head and the other hand on the body to hold the child steadily. She patted the child gently and walked quietly. Then she sat on the sofa and gently fed the child the pacifier into the mouth, soothingly saying, "It's okay, it's okay. We'll eat slowly, no rush."

As she spoke, she gently patted the child, gazed at the child tenderly, and even hummed a nursery rhyme.

Her voice was soft and not loud, like a babbling brook, flowing gently and lightly.

The child gradually calmed down and stopped crying. He sucked on the pacifier with his little mouth and his long, wet eyelashes slowly closed.

Seeing that the child had stopped crying and calmed down, Zhou Yi smiled, took a baby tissue, and carefully and gently wiped the tear stains from the child's face.

It had been raining all morning, and the sky was overcast. But unexpectedly, after ten o'clock, the clouds dispersed, and a dazzling beam of light suddenly broke through the clouds, illuminating everything in Dongzhou City.

Including the black Rolls-Royce, cold from the rain and covered in water droplets.

Inside the car, Wenren Chen was answering a phone call.

The driver was in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel, and the car was still running.

Clearly, they were waiting for people from the baby store.

Meanwhile, in the passenger seat, the assistant was holding a phone and working on his phone.

There were quite a few people in the car, but it was completely silent.

"Cancel the cooperation."

After a long silence, that indifferent voice entered the car.

The assistant paused and looked in the rearview mirror.

After saying those four words, Wenren Chen took out his phone and hung up. His eyes turned and fell on the baby store not far from the car window.

The light dispelled all the darkness, allowing everything after the rain to present a brand new look.

Zhou Yi sat on the sofa near the door, holding her child. The light was good there, with sunlight streaming in from all sides, illuminating everything.

Including her and her children.

A halo of light enveloped them, a golden halo falling upon them. A gentle breeze blew, ruffling the stray hairs at her temples and playfully tickling her cheeks.

Ignoring the stray hairs that were tickling her, she wiped away the child's tears, revealing the child's adorable little face, with a small nose and mouth, dark and well-defined eyebrows, thick and long eyelashes, and fair skin. The child was exceptionally beautiful.

Zhou Yi has been working at the maternity and baby store for two years and has seen many children, both ordinary and good-looking. This child, however, is clearly the kind that is good-looking and loved by everyone.

The child was now asleep and no longer crying. She looked up at the woman and whispered, "Three hundred and sixty-eight."

Upon hearing Zhou Yi's voice, the woman realized she hadn't paid yet and quickly said, "Okay."

The woman took out four hundred yuan, which Zhou Yi accepted. Then, she stood up and gently handed the child to the woman. The woman hugged the child tightly, and Zhou Yi let go, saying, "Please wait a moment, I'll give you your change."

As she spoke, she went to the cashier to give the woman change, but to her surprise, the woman said directly, "No need."

She then picked up the child and quickly left.

This was the first time someone hadn't given change. Zhou Yi was taken aback as he watched the woman walk quickly toward the car parked on the side of the road outside.

Looking at the car again, its hazard lights were on and the engine was still running.

Clearly, they've been waiting.

Without further delay, Zhou Yi immediately made change and then caught up with the woman.

The driver just opened the back door, the woman got into the car, and Zhou Yi jogged over.

Just before the driver was about to close the door, she said apologetically, panting, "Please wait a moment."

After saying that, she bent down and handed the thirty-two coins she had found into the car with both hands: "Please keep your change."

The woman hadn't expected Zhou Yi to chase after her and give her change, but she hadn't expected the little girl to be so honest.

She paused for a moment, then immediately took the money and whispered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Zhou Yi smiled and nodded, then straightened up and left.

However, before leaving, she seemed to meet a pair of extremely deep eyes, as if falling into an abyss, and her heart tightened subconsciously.

However, the feeling dissipated in an instant.

She hurried back into the store, locked the drawer that had been left open in her haste to give change, then threw the packaging she had just removed into the trash can, and then went to the storeroom to put the new pacifier back up.

She went about her business as usual.

The car door closed, the driver stepped on the gas, and the car quickly entered the traffic.

As the car drove away, the gaze that had been fixed outside the car returned to the child in the woman's arms.

The child was already asleep, but was still sucking on the pacifier.
