Chapter 910 - 868: A Beautiful Longing
"Okay." Little Ye nodded, agreeing for the time being.
In fact, as the eldest grandson of the Wilson family, he had developed an independent and strong character since childhood, and going out alone was a common occurrence.
Ran Xiangsi didn’t need to worry about these things at all because the heirs of the Xing family always had plainclothes bodyguards following them to ensure their safety.
Neither Xingtian nor Xing Chen would ever let their descendants encounter any danger.
Little Yuan didn’t understand the worries in Ran Xiangsi’s heart, he just curiously asked about the story he didn’t hear last night, "Mommy, tell me, did the shepherd find his lamb?"
Ran Xiangsi was momentarily stunned when she heard this. She looked down at her two sons and found they were both eagerly waiting for her story.
She couldn’t help but smile.
These two kids fell asleep halfway through last night, why are they so interested today?
"Hmm... where did you hear up to last night?"
"We heard when the shepherd fell into the cave! Then heard the lamb’s baa!" Little Yuan replied quickly and enthusiastically, even adding a "baa..." to it.
"Oh, there..." Ran Xiangsi recalled for a moment, then her mind began working rapidly.
Actually, she had already told Little Yuan all the fairy tales she knew, so this story about the shepherd and the lamb was something she made up on the spot.
She was embarrassed...
How should she continue making it up...
After hesitating for a while, Ran Xiangsi continued, "Then there was a ’baa’ sound, and the lamb’s voice came from outside the cave.
The shepherd was startled and hurried out of the cave to search.
A strong wind blew through the mountain gorge, making it difficult for the shepherd to move.
He walked and walked... finally, in a patch of grass as tall as a person, he found an injured lamb.
He parted the grass and saw that the lamb had fallen from the mountain and broken its leg, crying pitifully..."
"The poor lamb..." Little Yuan pouted, really wanting to save that lamb.
Hearing this, Ran Xiangsi smiled softly, gently stroked Little Yuan’s face, and then continued, "The shepherd felt so sorry for it, he picked up the lamb and returned to the cave to care for it.
He tore his clothes to bandage the lamb’s wound.
All night, he held the lamb, keeping it warm."
"Mom, will the lamb die?" Little Yuan asked again.
Ran Xiangsi smiled and continued, "The next day, when the sun rose, the shepherd woke up and found the lamb was gone.
He was so scared, he hurriedly ran out of the cave and discovered that the lamb heard the flock’s calls and ran outside.
The shepherd looked and exclaimed, wow! Aren’t these his own sheep?
When the sun came up, the shepherd happily took the flock home."
The story ended here.
Little Yuan was very happy after hearing it, clapping his hands with glee, "Great! Mommy, your story is so nice!"
"Is it... hee hee..." Ran Xiangsi smiled a little embarrassedly.
It seemed that only Little Yuan loved listening to this story.
Little Ye, on the other side, listened and raised an eyebrow.
As expected, mom’s stories were still so boring and childish...
But it was fine, as long as he could be with mom, listening to such boring stories didn’t matter.
After the story, both brothers quickly fell asleep.
That night, Little Ye had a dream.
He dreamed he became that injured lamb, while mom was the shepherd...

Have you ever thought,
that the words you said unconsciously, the stories you told,
might become a kingdom in someone else’s heart, a beautiful longing...
