Xiao Xiao, craning her little face as big as a palm, looked at Cao Yuan in awe and surprise, "Uncle, really? Can we?"
Cao Yuan was not good at cajoling children, especially since he appeared rather stern, which scared children sometimes. Therefore, he didn't dare say much but instead, he turned around, took off his backpack, squatted down, and showed her through his actions that he could carry her.
Right then, Xiao Xiao happily climbed onto Cao Yuan's back, "Thank you, Uncle. I've never been carried on someone's back like how Dad would do, it was always my mom carrying me. But I'm afraid she would get too tired, so I didn't let her carry me all the time. You are so kind, Uncle!"
The girl tilted her head and playfully giggled at Cao Yuan. When Cao Yuan looked sideways and saw her radiant little face, he felt his heart completely warmed.
"Good girl, Uncle will take you home."
