~8 min read 1,479 words

As the Elevator ascended, seeing the two children curiously opening their round eyes wide to examine this bright yet narrow enclosed space, Xie Yang explained to them: "This is called an Elevator; it can take us to the guest rooms upstairs, saving us the trouble of climbing the stairs."

【Ding!】

The Elevator reached the floor for their stay, and Xie Yang set her niece down.

"Auntie still has to push the suitcase, so I can't carry you. Will you hold Auntie's hand and your brother's hand and walk by yourself?"

"Okay!" Xiao Jinchu replied in a soft, milky voice.

Pushing the suitcase and holding the children's hands, Xie Yang found their room, swiped the card to open the door, and then inserted the room card into the slot on the wall; the room instantly lit up, turning the dark night into day in a second.

The air conditioning vent slowly blew out cool air, quickly lowering the temperature in the stuffy room.

"Wow—"

Xiao Jinchu let out an exclamation.

Although Xie Jilin didn't make a sound, his little face was also filled with shock.

A thin little card was inserted into the wall, and the pitch-black room became as bright as day; how was this done?

"Hungry, aren't you? Let's go to the bathroom to wash our faces, and then we'll go down to eat."

Xie Yang took four sets of children's clothes out of the suitcase—two sets of pajamas and two sets of casual clothes to wear tomorrow.

"Auntie bought these in a hurry at the airport. I don't know if they fit, but if they don't, we'll just have to make do for now. Tomorrow, after I finish my business, I'll take you to the mall, and you can pick out your own then."

The new clothes still had their tags on; after Xie Yang tore them off and put them in the laundry basket, she pressed the room phone on the nightstand to indicate there were clothes to be sent for cleaning, then took her niece and nephew, their little faces and hands washed clean, to the hotel buffet restaurant to enjoy dinner.

Resort hotels focus on leisure and enjoyment, and the basic services available to guests, such as dining and entertainment, are executed to perfection.

This resort hotel also launched over twenty family-themed rooms, so naturally, they considered the needs of young children in their dining options as well.

Plus, it was late, and the two children were in the Modern Plane for the first time; after a day of tossing and turning, they must have been exhausted.

There is plenty of time in the future; she wouldn't take them out tonight, so they would just eat at the hotel.

"We're going to the hotel's own restaurant. Auntie has already bought meal vouchers. Once we're inside, take whatever you want to eat, but don't take too much of the same food at once. If you finish it and like it, you can get more. If it turns out not to be good, it would be a waste."

The two children nodded, half-understanding, especially Xie Jilin, whose little face was very calm.

It wasn't until they entered the buffet restaurant and saw the magnificent decor and the dazzling array of food that the two children were stunned.

The food at this hotel was indeed very rich.

Xie Yang led the two children in from the entrance, passing in turn by the drinks and beverages, cakes and desserts, seafood and sashimi, Chinese and Western food, Japanese and French cuisine, Thai cuisine, Indian cuisine, fruit and vegetable salads, and so on.

There was even a separate children's dining area, with flavors more suited to the preferences of young children.

In short, the choices were diverse and the dishes were plentiful; even very picky eaters could always find a few items that suited their tastes.

Xie Yang asked the waiter for a children's high chair, first took the two children for a tour of the dining area, and brought back some food they were interested in.

She lifted her little niece into the high chair; her little nephew was tall enough, so he sat on the sofa chair. She let them eat slowly before she went to get her own food.

"Brother, this is so yummy!"

Jinchu scooped up a spoonful of soft little cake and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

Xie Jilin was eating the children's steak that the waiter had cut for him.

In Daliang, beef could only be eaten at the New Year's Eve palace banquet, and even then, it was tribute offered by small countries outside the borders.

Cattle among the common people were all used for plowing fields, unless they were old or sick, but such cases were rare, so there were few opportunities to eat beef.

"Brother, is the cow-cow yummy?"

"It's yummy."

Xie Jilin nodded, forked a piece for his sister, and fed it into her mouth.

"Brother, it's really great here!" Jinchu praised while eating, "Even better than Emperor Uncle's imperial feast!"

"..."

Far away in Daliang, Xiao—Emperor Uncle—Yanze: "..."

After finishing the beef, Jinchu scooped up a spoonful of cream of mushroom soup: "It's so delicious! If only Daddy and Mommy were here too."

Hearing this, Xie Jilin's eyes dimmed.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yang returned with her tray, saw her nephew's red-rimmed eyes, and asked with concern, "Is it not good? Should Auntie take you to pick something else? Leave this here, Auntie will eat it in a bit."

Xie Jilin hurriedly shook his head.

Jinchu blinked her eyes: "Brother and Chuer are the same; we miss Daddy and Mommy."

Xie Yang patted the two children's heads: "You just met Auntie and you want to go home already? Auntie wants to take you to live in the city where Auntie lives! You act like this, and Auntie is very sad."

"Auntie." Jinchu scooped a spoonful of mushroom soup, tremblingly held the spoon high to feed Xie Yang, "Drink the fresh soup, and you won't be sad anymore."

"Haha!" Xie Yang didn't refuse; she drank the soup fed by her little niece and showed a satisfied expression, "The soup fed by little Chuer is truly delicious! It's the most wonderful soup Auntie has ever had!"

It made the child so happy she couldn't even see her eyes.

Xie Yang sat right next to her nephew, placed the warm oat milk in front of him, and gently enlightened him:

"No matter what happened to your parents, leaving you behind must have been their last resort. Besides, there's still Auntie. Auntie will protect you and take care of you. You and your sister can live with Auntie with peace of mind; maybe one day, when your parents finish what they are busy with, they will come to take you home."

Xie Jilin's bright black eyes looked seriously at Xie Yang: "Really? Daddy... Mommy and Daddy will come to take me and Chuer home?"

"Auntie can't say for sure, but as long as one is alive, there is hope."

"Mm!" The little boy nodded vigorously, "Chuer and I will stay with Auntie and wait for Mommy and Daddy to come take us home!"

"That's right! Being happy is one day, and being unhappy is also one day. No matter what happens, we must happily welcome every day."

After pouring the chicken soup for the soul, Xie Yang forked a piece of thin, tender smoked beef brisket and put it on her nephew's plate: "Alright, let's keep eating! Auntie is so hungry I could swallow a cow!"

Xie Jilin's eyes curved: "Auntie, my name is Xie Jilin."

"Mm, then how about I call you Linbao from now on?"

Lin... Linbao?

The little fellow felt both shy and happy.

"Auntie, what about Chuer?" Jinchu looked eagerly at Xie Yang.

Xie Yang smiled and patted her head: "Of course Jinchu is Jinbao!"

"Yay! Brother is Linbao, Jinchu is Jinbao." Xiao Jinchu happily clapped her chubby little hands, and the next second, she learned and applied it: "Auntie, the beef is yummy, Jinbao wants to eat."

"Alright! Let's give our Jinbao a slice too! After you finish, Auntie will go get more."

"Auntie, what is this?"

"This, it's Italian macaroni. Come, take a taste, is it delicious?"

"Yummy!"

"Try this roasted lamb chop. Are you used to the cumin flavor?"

"So fragrant! So yummy!"

"Auntie, what are you drinking?"

"This, it's happy fat-boy water. You two can have a small sip."

"Wow—"

Xiao Yanze felt sour and complicated inside as he listened.

The little ungrateful thing! She had spent less than a day with an aunt she had just met for the first time, whose true or false identity was still unknown, yet she was already this intimate.

At this moment, the Emperor uncle felt as sour inside as if he had drunk a bottle of aged vinegar.
