The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

"Is this me?" After seeing Xingxing's actions, Mengmeng seemed to realize something and couldn't help but ask with some surprise.

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, she laughed and pointed at the stars: "Then the other one is you!"

She nodded, and that almost imperceptible smile reappeared on her lips. She seemed much more cheerful than before.

Xie Yumin's heart stirred, and she suddenly had an idea. Then she spoke softly again, looking at the stars with a questioning tone.

"Xingxing, Mengmeng, would you like to participate in next week's 'Xingmeng's Home' art exhibition? Your paintings can be displayed."

"Yes!" Mengmeng agreed without hesitation. Then, as if she had thought of something, she turned her head and looked at Xingxing with anticipation.

Xingxing lowered his head, his fingers twisting the hem of his clothes again. It was clear that he still really wanted to go, but he was a little hesitant, so he didn't agree as readily as Mengmeng.

Seeing through Xingxing's hesitation, Xie Yumin smiled gently and explained, "It's just a suggestion. It's okay if you don't participate. I won't make things difficult for you, okay?"

In the end, Xingxing gently shook her head and chose to refuse.

Xie Yumin was not surprised by this result, after all, it was too early for Xingxing to come into contact with more people.

"It's alright." Xie Yumin smiled gently and spoke softly to Xingxing again.

"You can continue drawing whatever you like, it's okay if you don't participate. Oh, and Mengmeng, Daddy will be home for dinner tonight."

"Really?" Mengmeng's eyes lit up with excitement, then she clapped her hands happily. "I'm going to tell Daddy that Xingxing can draw!"

When Xingxing heard the word "father," her body visibly stiffened, as if she was thinking of something very painful.

After realizing something, Mengmeng understood that she had said something wrong. She carefully touched Xingxing's hand before softly explaining, "My dad is very gentle."

Xingxing looked up at Mengmeng, but still didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something.

Mengmeng solemnly promised again, "He won't hurt you, I promise."

Xingxing didn't respond, but her tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

Gu Yinshen's return brought a joyful atmosphere to "Starry Home".

During dinner, Mengmeng talked non-stop about her experiences drawing with Xingxing over the past few days. Gu Yinshen listened attentively, occasionally asking a few questions.

"...There were so many moons drawn on the stars, and each one was different!"

As Mengmeng spoke, she gestured, her little face full of excitement, and she seemed genuinely happy.

"He also drew a picture of me and him watching the moon under the cherry blossom tree today!"

Gu Yinshen smiled and looked at Xie Yumin, who nodded gently, her eyes full of satisfaction.

They all know how significant a step forward it is for an autistic child to be able to express emotions through drawing.

"Dad, can you come watch us paint tomorrow?" Mengmeng asked with a hopeful look on her face.

"Of course." Gu Yinshen agreed almost without hesitation after hearing this.

"I really want to see the star paintings, and I'm also looking forward to meeting your new friends."

Mengmeng clapped her hands excitedly, her face full of smiles, and she looked really happy.

The next morning, when Gu Yinshen arrived at the art studio, Mengmeng and Xingxing were already waiting for him.

When Xingxing saw the tall Gu Yinshen walk in, she instinctively hid behind Mengmeng.

After noticing Xingxing's actions, Mengmeng smiled and explained, "Xingxing, this is my dad."

As they spoke, Mengmeng looked at Xingxing and said again, "Daddy, this is Xingxing. He's really good at drawing!"

Gu Yinshen didn't approach rashly. Instead, he stood at the doorway, a gentle smile on his face, and nodded slightly to the little boy: "Hello, Xingxing. Mengmeng told me you drew many beautiful moons, so Uncle came to take a look first."

Xingxing didn't answer, but slowly peeked out from behind Mengmeng, observing Gu Yinshen warily.

Gu Yinshen noticed the drawing paper spread out on the table, with an unfinished outline of a moon on it.

"Is this what you're drawing?" he asked softly, his eyes filled with admiration and praise.

Xingxing hesitated for a moment, then nodded, but still didn't say anything.

"Great composition, the curve of the moon is drawn very accurately." Gu Yinshen sincerely commented. He was not a person who was good at praising others, but he had to admit that the painting of the stars was indeed very good.

Xingxing still didn't react after hearing this.

Just as Mengmeng was about to say something, Xingxing suddenly walked slowly to the table, picked up a yellow crayon, and continued drawing.

This is something he usually refuses to do when other people are present.

Gu Yinshen had asked Xie Yumin before coming and understood what Xingxing meant, so he knowingly retreated to the corner of the room and quietly observed this boy whose background was heartbreaking.

He saw Mengmeng sitting naturally next to Xingxing, occasionally handing her a crayon she needed. Xingxing didn't say anything, but she accepted the crayon. The two children's cooperation was so tacit that it was heartbreaking.

But they have unknowingly become best friends.

Over the next few days, Gu Yinshen gradually became close with the children, and their relationship improved considerably.

Over time, he subtly noticed that Xingxing's wariness towards him had gradually decreased. Even last night, when he stood behind Xingxing watching him draw, the little boy didn't react much.

Although she didn't smile and talk like Mengmeng, the fact that she didn't resist much is already a big improvement.

Xingxing is indeed very talented; that much must be acknowledged.

Xie Yumin also found a professional teacher to guide her. Although Xingxing was a little wary at first, she got much better later.

With Mengmeng by his side, Xingxing was definitely much better than when he was initially excited.

This result made everyone very happy, and Mengmeng was the happiest of all.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was time for the art exhibition.

On the day of the art exhibition, although Xingxing still didn't come, Mengmeng specially selected several of her paintings to hang at the exhibition. The themes of her paintings were all rainbows and the moon.

Mengmeng also put a small label next to each painting: "Friendship painting of Mengmeng and Xingxing".

The visiting parents and children were all attracted by these childlike paintings. Everyone knew Mengmeng, so they were even more curious about who the "stars" in the paintings were.

Mengmeng stood in the crowd, smiling and looking up, proudly introducing her good friend to everyone. Even though Xingxing wasn't by her side, it didn't matter; as long as they were her friends, that was enough!

The art exhibition eventually came to a successful end, and Mengmeng's painting received the most little red flowers and was loved by many people.
