My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

The car gradually accelerated, and the streetlights outside the window rushed past one by one.

Little Douzi's attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Godfather! The tall light is running!"

"It's not the lights that are running, it's us who are running."

"Us?" Xiao Douzi paused, looked down at the chair she was sitting in, and then looked out the window at the trees rushing past.

"We...we're moving? Ah! It's a car...it's this car that's moving?"

"right!"

"But..." Little Douzi frowned, her face full of confusion, "There's no horse? And no donkey? How...how can it move by itself?"

Lin Ye was stumped by the question. After thinking for a moment, he decided to simplify his explanation: "Because there are machines inside."

"machine?"

"Yeah, it's... it's something that moves on its own."

Little Douzi nodded as if he understood, then leaned back against the car window, staring intently outside.

The driver glanced at the back seat in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but laugh.

The two, one big and one small, the big one was wearing a black jacket and jeans, while the small one was dressed in a tattered, dirty, patched ancient costume. Were they just rehearsing their lines?

"Sir," he asked with a smile, "did you just finish filming?"

Lin Ye paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I was filming with the kids, so we finished work late."

The system will help Xiaodouzi obtain a legal identity, but the system is currently in a dormant state due to excessive energy consumption, and Xiaodouzi is still an unregistered resident, so it's best not to attract attention.

"No wonder," the driver said knowingly. "That young actor is amazing; he can remember so many lines. Judging by the costume, it's a period drama, isn't it?"

"Yeah, a nobody." After saying that, Lin Ye continued to look out the window, and the driver wisely didn't ask any more questions.

Xiao Douzi couldn't understand what they were saying, but she noticed that the old man in front of her wasn't looking at her strangely.

Unlike the people in the palace, who looked at her as if she were something dirty.

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief, snuggled closer to Lin Ye, and continued to stare at the rapidly receding trees and lights outside the window.

The car entered the city.

Little Douzi pressed his face against the car window, his eyes widening.

"Godfather, Godfather!" she called out excitedly to Lin Ye, pointing her little finger out the window, almost jumping up and down. "What's that?"

Lin Ye followed the direction she was pointing and looked out. "Those are tall buildings."

"It's so tall! Much, much taller than... much, much taller than the Empress Dowager's Hall of Supreme Harmony!" After saying that, as if that wasn't enough, she added "much" several more times.

The little hand moved to another spot, "What's that now?"

"That's called a road sign."

"What are road signs for?"

"Tell people how to get there."

"Um, um!" Xiao Douzi suddenly sat up straight, pressing his whole body against the car window.

"So many colors! Red, green, yellow, white! Strings and strings! So beautiful! Did stars fall down?"

"That's a lamp, a colored lamp."

"Lamp..." Little Douzi repeated, but his attention was quickly drawn to something else.

"Godfather, look! There's someone moving inside that big box! Someone! There really is someone!"

Lin Ye looked over and saw a large screen on the exterior wall of the shopping mall.

"That's a television; it shows things that look like pictures, not real people."

"Television? Pictures?" Little Douzi's mind was already blank. "But how can the pictures move? And they're moving inside a big box?"

"Uh..." Lin Ye realized he couldn't explain it clearly. "I'll... I'll tell you slowly later."

Little Douzi quieted down.

It's not that I don't want to ask, it's that I can't ask everyone.

Her mouth was agape in an "O" shape, her eyes were wide open, and her little head was turning around and around, wanting to see everything but unable to see everything at once.

Everything outside was beyond the comprehension of her little mind.

Those buildings were so tall, so tall that no matter how high she looked up, she couldn't see the top.

Those lights were so bright, they made the night as bright as day.

And there were so many people, dressed in strange clothes, walking around.

There are many other "vehicles" like the ones they ride in, in various colors and sizes, and they run much faster than horse-drawn carriages.

"Godfather..." Little Douzi's voice softened, her little fists clenched on the car frame, her big eyes unblinking, as if afraid of startling something, "Is this...is this Heavenly Court?"

Lin Ye was stunned for a moment.

I happened to pass by a barbecue stall outside, and the smell of oily smoke wafted in, mixed with car exhaust and the aroma of fried skewers from the roadside.

Is this what you call the Heavenly Court?

He looked down at the little girl—her eyes reflected the lights of countless homes, sparkling like a sky full of shattered stars.

Lin Ye felt as if something had gently pinched his chest.

"It's not the Heavenly Court," he softened his voice, but couldn't help but curl up his lips, "it's where my godfather lives."

"The place where Godfather lives..." Little Douzi murmured repeatedly, then suddenly gripped Lin Ye's clothes tightly, "Godfather, then, can Little Douzi live here too?"

Xiao Douzi's eyes were filled with anticipation, yet also with unease—afraid of rejection, and also afraid that her demands would displease Lin Ye.

Seeing her cautious manner, Lin Ye felt a lump in his throat and nodded vigorously. "Yes! Of course! Little Douzi will live with her godfather from now on."

When Xiao Douzi smiled, her eyes curved into crescents, revealing two rows of small, neat teeth.

The car was parked in front of a tall building.

Lin Ye got out of the car carrying the little bag and walked to the entrance of the building.

Before me was a huge glass door, so transparent it seemed not to exist, revealing the brightly lit hall at a glance.

The floor was covered with gleaming marble, crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and people in uniforms were walking around inside.

Little Douzi had become much more lively after the journey. Pointing at the glass door, she exclaimed, "Godfather, Godfather! Isn't that glass? Like those transparent walls that keep tigers out?"

"That's right, Xiaodouzi is so smart!" Lin Ye smiled and pinched her little face. "That's glass too, it's a door made of glass."

Sudden--

The glass door opened by itself.

The little boy darted into Lin Ye's arms, his little arms tightly wrapped around his neck.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" Her voice trembled. "The door, the door, the door moved by itself!"

Lin Ye was both amused and exasperated. He placed one hand behind her back to protect her and explained, "This is an automatic door. It opens by itself when someone gets close."

Little Douzi looked up at the glass door behind her that had closed automatically again, her little face filled with shock.

Then they went into an even smaller room.

The door closed automatically, and before Xiao Douzi could react, she felt herself sink down.

"Godfather, Godfather!!!"

She screamed and squeezed her eyes shut, tears welling up in her eyes.

She had never felt like she was falling before; it was terrifying!

"It's alright, it's alright, little one, don't be afraid." Lin Ye quickly hugged her tightly and stroked her head to comfort her.

"This is an elevator. It can take us up and down the stairs, much faster than walking up the stairs! We're going upstairs now, we'll be there soon, so don't be afraid."

Little Douzi secretly opened one eye and saw a glowing symbol next to the door that kept changing.

"Ding." The elevator doors opened.

Lin Ye carried her out and stopped in front of room 2201, unlocking the door with his face.

The door opened.

"We're here." Lin Ye put the little girl down from his arms, pushed the door all the way open to show her. "Little Douzi, this is our home!"

Little Douzi stood at the door, staring blankly inside.

The space in front of me was very large; it felt like I could play football inside. The ground was paved with light-colored wood, which felt warm to the touch.

The overhead lights cast a soft glow, making the whole room as bright as day.

In the middle is a very, very large "chair" that looks like a bed, with several round pillows on it that look very soft.

At the far end is a large glass wall, from which you can clearly see the dark sky outside, as well as the crescent moon and twinkling stars.
