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

Unfortunately, although Xingxing has improved a lot, she is not completely recovered and is still afraid of biting into large pieces of food.

However, this is good enough.

Just then, an accident happened.

A young couple with a child somehow got wind of the news and came to "Starry Home" without invitation.

Their son, Xiao Jie, is an overly energetic six-year-old boy. He entered the door shouting excitedly, but also rather rudely: "Where are the drawings by the autistic children? I want to see them!"

Like a startled fawn, Xingxing instinctively jumped up from the chair, even accidentally spilling her juice. The little boy's breathing became rapid, and his eyes began to glaze over—signs of an impending breakdown.

Realizing something was wrong, Mengmeng immediately stood in front of Xingxing. She instinctively spread her arms like a mother bird protecting her chicks, while earnestly instructing, "Stop! You need to wear your magic badges before you can come in!"

As Mengmeng spoke, she pulled out a few spare foil badges from her pocket and handed them to Xiao Jie: "Otherwise, you'll be bounced off the protective shield!"

Xiao Jie was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, his attention drawn to the unexpected request. He then asked curiously, "What protective shield?"

"This yard has a superpowered protective shield!"

Mengmeng explained seriously, not at all angry about the other person's rudeness: "Only those wearing badges can see us, and we can see them too. Otherwise, we're like air!"

Xiao Jie's parents exchanged a loving look, but didn't say anything more, and still cooperated by putting on the badge.

Xiao Jie blinked in confusion, then put on the badge with some doubt. After putting it on, Xiao Jie couldn't wait to ask Mengmeng, "Can I see it now?"

Mengmeng didn't answer, but turned her gaze to Xingxing and explained with a smile, "Look, they're wearing badges; they're good people."

Xingxing pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Mengmeng didn't rush to force Xingxing to accept anything. She then turned to Xiaojie and said, "You can look at the paintings, but you can't touch them! Xingxing's paintings are special; they'll bite impolite people."

This absurd threat actually worked on the child.

Xiao Jie nodded thoughtfully, then carefully approached the easel and began to examine it attentively.

When he saw "Cherry Blossom Tree Under the Moonlight," he instinctively widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Wow! This moon looks so real!"

Upon hearing this praise, Xingxing's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Mengmeng nodded repeatedly, then explained, "He drew lots of moons, and each one is different. Do you want to... ask him how he drew them?"

"See you there," she winked at Xiao Jie.

Although Xiao Jie was mischievous, he was also very clever. Seemingly realizing something, he instinctively moved closer to Xingxing, but maintained a certain distance between them. Curious, Xiao Jie asked, "How do you make the moon shine?"

Xiao Jie was met with a long silence.

But everyone's eyes were fixed on Xingxing, seemingly curious about the answer to the question. Just when everyone thought Xingxing wouldn't answer, she hesitated for a moment, clutching the hem of her clothes, and whispered, "...Longing makes you shine."

Xiao Jie blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite, and didn't say anything.

But after his mother learned about Xingxing's situation from Dr. Lin, she couldn't help but gasp when she heard those words, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

She seemed to realize something, then whispered to her husband beside her, "This child is a genius."

Over the next half hour, with the help of Xiao Jie's parents, the two children gradually began to have simple conversations.

Xingxing even allowed Xiaojie to complete an impromptu doodle with him.

Although Xiao Jie did most of the drawing, and only occasionally added a stroke or two of color to the stars, it was already quite good.

But good times always fly by. As dusk fell, it was time for Xiao Jie to leave. Before departing, he asked reluctantly, "Can I come back again?"

Mengmeng didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at the stars, waiting for his reaction.

The star remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded almost imperceptibly.

An excited smile spread across Mengmeng's little face, and she happily announced, "Xingxing said it's possible! But you need to make an appointment in advance, and you must wear the magic badge!"

Xiao Jie nodded earnestly and replied, "Okay!"

After seeing the guests off, Xingxing slumped down under the cherry blossom tree as if she had run out of energy.

Mengmeng sat down next to him, the two little figures snuggling together.

"You're amazing!" Mengmeng whispered to Xingxing beside her, as if she had just thought of something. "You talked so much today! It made me so happy!"

Xingxing didn't answer, but gently leaned on Mengmeng's shoulder as a way of expressing his gratitude.

Everything is gradually getting better, and the friendship between the two children is growing stronger.

As dusk fell, Xie Yumin was organizing photos in her room when she received a video call from Gu Yinshen.

She enthusiastically showed the other person the photos she had taken that day.

When the man saw the photo of his daughter and Xingxing sleeping head to head under the cherry blossom tree, this usually decisive man in the business world found his eyes welling up with tears, deeply moved by the pure friendship between the two children.

“I’ve missed too much,” he said softly, then sighed deeply, his tone growing increasingly firm. “I must be back next week, no matter what important meetings there are.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Yumin couldn't help but smile gently, and spoke again: "You know what? Today, the photographer said that Xingxing's paintings have an amazing emotional expressiveness, and suggested that we send him for professional training. Also, the media wants to interview him..."

“No,” Gu Yinshen’s expression grew serious upon hearing this, and he decisively interrupted Xie Yumin before she could finish speaking, “Xingxing is not a propaganda tool. Unless he himself agrees, we cannot expose him.”

Xie Yumin was not angry when she heard these words. Instead, she nodded with relief, because this was exactly the answer she wanted to hear.

"Don't worry, I know exactly what's going on in this matter, and I won't agree to something like this so easily."

……

A week later, the Children's Art Museum sent the trophy and certificate for the "Special Talent Award".

The awards ceremony was still held under the cherry blossom trees, but this time only family members of "Starry Home" participated.

When Dr. Lin read out the award certificate, Xingxing stood next to Mengmeng, her little hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes. She still looked a little nervous, but she wasn't as excited as before.
