BaoBao was very intelligent, chubby, thoughtful, and very cute. At just three months old, she could speak, and when she was one year old, she was already running around chasing sparrows.

"Yiya, I'm tired from running …"

After running for a while, BaoBao was tired and sat on the ground, panting. She puffed up her cheeks and stared at the white sparrow on the tree branch angrily.

The white sparrow stood proudly on the branch and glanced at the snotty baby below. It snorted, flapped its wings, and flew away.

BaoBao pouted and looked sad. "Yiya doesn't want to play with me anymore …" 

She was only a little over a year old. She was too young and couldn't speak clearly. She was innocent, lively, and cute. She had always been the joy of the family.

At this time, a tall man with thick black hair walked over. He was strong and handsome, and he was wrapped in animal skin.

Compared to when he first came to the Abyss World, his eyes had an additional look of vicissitudes. His face had also become resolute, and he had the heroic aura of a mature man. It was Fang Xuan!

Fang Xuan walked over with a smile on his face. He had a hoe on his shoulder and two fresh fish still jumping around in his hands. He looked at the little girl sitting on the ground with a doting gaze.

BaoBao's eyes were sparkling. She jumped up from the ground and ran over to Fang Xuan. She hugged one of his legs intimately and said coquettishly, "Daddy, hug ~ hug."

Fang Xuan hung the fish on the hoe and picked BaoBao up with one hand. He rubbed BaoBao's chubby face affectionately and smiled.

"BaoBao, look at these two fish. We'll eat one each secretly and not tell Mommy, okay?"

BaoBao blinked her eyes and said in a childish voice, "Okay!"

The two of them snickered and prepared to eat alone.

"Hey, I heard that …"

Suddenly, a golden-haired woman walked over with her hands on her waist. She glared at Fang Xuan and BaoBao, causing them to laugh awkwardly.

The woman's golden hair was like a waterfall, graceful and graceful. Time didn't leave many traces on her face. Qian Renxue was still as graceful as ever. Her hair was soft, and she was beautiful beyond compare.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" BaoBao stuck out her tongue and turned to Fang Xuan.

"Daddy, what should we do?"

"I have no choice but to admit my mistake obediently." Fang Xuan smiled, carried the baby, and walked slowly to Qian Renxue.

"My dear wife, I was wrong. Please don't be angry."

"Hmph! You two … won't have anything to eat today! " Qian Renxue snorted and glared at Fang Xuan and BaoBao.

"Aiya, BaoBao, your mommy said there won't be anything for us to eat. What should we do?" Fang Xuan winked at BaoBao.

"I don't know …" BaoBao bit her finger and looked innocently at Qian Renxue. Her little mouth gradually pouted.

"Mommy, I'm hungry …"

"You little brat!"

Qian Renxue raised a finger and angrily poked the little girl's forehead, but her eyes were full of affection. Her own BaoBao was so cute. How could she bear to hit her?

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. We were joking!" Fang Xuan smiled and gently let go of BaoBao.

Then, he walked forward and wrapped his arms around Qian Renxue's slender waist. He smiled at Qian Renxue's eyes and said, "My dear wife, give me a kiss!"

Before he finished speaking, he quickly kissed Qian Renxue's pink cheeks and said, "My dear wife, you didn't even have time to react."

Qian Renxue blushed. She angrily punched Fang Xuan's chest and said unhappily, "You … you're so annoying. The child is still watching!"

"Hehe, what are you afraid of? We've been married for so long." Fang Xuan smiled faintly and hugged Qian Renxue's slender waist with his big hands. He kissed her on the cheek and was finally satisfied.

However, the little third wheel, standing between the two of them, watched her parents show off their affection and gradually pouted her little mouth. BaoBao said in her baby voice, "I want a kiss too!"

Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue looked at each other and were amused. They each kissed the little guy, and BaoBao smiled foolishly. The couple held BaoBao's hands, and the family chatted and laughed as they slowly walked home.

…

Time passed quickly. Before they knew it, BaoBao was already five years old. Her dark eyes were lively, her skin was pink, and her cheeks were adorably chubby. She wore a white floral dress with two long ponytails hanging down her back. She was smart and beautiful, just like a little fairy.

One day, Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue were chatting by the stream while BaoBao was chasing wild rabbits along the stream.

Suddenly, a red-crowned crane descended from the sky and landed on a rock in the middle of the stream.

This red-crowned crane was snow-white and filled with spiritual energy. Its entire body was shrouded in colorful clouds, and it looked extraordinary.

Fang Xuan and his family were shocked. This was an auspicious sign!

"Wow, what a big crane!" BaoBao's eyes were sparkling. She bit her finger when she saw this big red-crowned crane and was overjoyed!

She walked over to the red-crowned crane, and when it lowered its head to drink, she suddenly pounced on its back.

She wrapped her arms tightly around the red-crowned crane's slender neck and excitedly said to Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue, "Daddy, Mommy, I caught a crane!"

"BaoBao, be careful!"

The couple jumped in fright and ran to BaoBao without caring. However, it was too late.

"Screech!"

With a soft cry, the red-crowned crane spread its wings and flapped them with all its might. It soared directly into the sky and slowly flew towards the setting sun with BaoBao on its back.

The crane flew away with their BaoBao, never to be seen again…

The couple was heartbroken. Ever since they lost BaoBao, the two of them missed her so much that they fell ill.

They became haggard day by day and aged very quickly. Fang Xuan drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day and was unable to recover from the setback.

Qian Renxue's hair even turned white overnight. She washed her face with tears every day and was extremely sad. Losing their child was a devastating blow to the two of them!

Finally, as the pillar of the family, Fang Xuan gradually pulled himself together and recovered from his grief.

He comforted Qian Renxue and said, "Don't be sad. The gods must have taken away our BaoBao. She's living well in the heavens!"

"Really?"

Qian Renxue stopped crying, but her head of white hair would never recover.

Fang Xuan saw this and felt his heartache. He pulled Qian Renxue into his arms and kissed her head of white hair.

He said gently, "Of course. BaoBao is not dead. BaoBao is still alive. She has been taken away by the gods to live in the heavens!"

This was a lie that the couple had made up to survive. No one knew where BaoBao was taken and if she was alive or dead. However, Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue still had to live on.

Time would heal all sorrows! Gradually, Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue left the shadow of grief and began to live on. They worked from dawn to dusk and rested from dusk to dawn.

They were deeply in love and accompanied each other until they grew old.

Fifty years later, a pair of white-haired old people strolled by the stream hand in hand. They were Fang Xuan and Qian Renxue in their twilight years.

They held each other's hands and grew old together! After decades of hardship, their hair turned white, and their bodies corroded.

Their faces were etched with the vicissitudes of life. However, they were very satisfied and happy in this life.

The two of them were very happy to have someone to accompany them until they grew old. They had no regrets in this life.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, their stooped figures were elongated. They calmly walked the last part of their journey hand in hand.

The two sat on a rock by the stream and looked at each other. They smiled affectionately and hugged each other …
