Childhood Sweethearts Should Naturally Be Raised from a Young Age, My Childhood Sweetheart Airi.

Chang Yuan felt a surge of excitement upon hearing Airi wanted to share his bed.

However, he quickly suppressed the flutter in his heart.

No, this is Airi, and she's still young. I shouldn't feel this way.

Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, Chang Yuan entered a state of mental clarity.

Airi then took off her little shoes and climbed onto the bed, which was large enough for two children.

Lying next to Chang Yuan, Airi blinked her eyelashes and stared at him.

"Brother Chang Yuan, when will you tell the next story?"

"We'll start now. Let's talk about a little girl named Kiana. It's a story about sunshine, cheerfulness, and striving forward."

"Really?"

For some reason, Airi felt Chang Yuan was trying to trick her, but she couldn't find any proof.

"Of course, how could I possibly lie to you?"

Chang Yuan patted his chest and said with certainty.

He was a good person and never lied to anyone.

"Alright then, I'll trust you this time, Brother Chang Yuan."

"Okay, I'll tell you now. This is a story about the Honkai..."

Half an hour later...

Seeing Airi's eyes closed in sleep, with a faint trace of tears at the corner of her eyes, Chang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of me, to make Airi shed tears for me now.

"Don't worry, I won't let similar tragedies happen again."

Gently stroking Airi's head, Chang Yuan murmured softly.

Airi, deep in sleep, seemed to sense something and reached out her small hand, tightly gripping Chang Yuan's clothes.

Fortunately, even though Chang Yuan had been trapped in the forest for days, he hadn't forgotten to bathe. Otherwise, he would have reeked right now.

"But, as expected of Airi, huh? She smells so good and feels so soft."

Looking at Airi's rosy little cheeks, Chang Yuan felt an urge to bite them.

He wanted to taste what this strawberry little cake was like.

But in the end, he forcefully suppressed this almost criminal impulse.

He finally just reached out his small hand and poked Airi's cheek.

"Goodnight, Airi. May time stand still at this moment, and may we never be separated."

Closing his eyes, Chang Yuan also fell into a deep sleep.

Until the next day, a soft, tender little hand patted his face.

"Brother Chang Yuan, it's time to get up. We have to go help Uncle Tock. We can't always eat his food for free."

"Mmm, got it. It's so nice."

He opened his eyes groggily, and upon seeing the pink fluffball, Chang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

"So nice?"

Airi didn't quite understand what Chang Yuan was saying.

But the next moment, a warm hand was placed on her head.

"It's nothing, just a sigh."

After confirming he wasn't dreaming, Chang Yuan felt a surge of excitement.

Since none of this was a dream, he also had the ability to change everything.

"Okay, then Brother Chang Yuan, let's go help Uncle Tock gather firewood together. After all, our small bodies can't do much."

Taking Chang Yuan's hand, Airi led him to where she had been gathering firewood for Tock and the others earlier.

Facing the pull of the little pink fluffball, Chang Yuan obediently followed.

Entering the forest shallowly, Airi led Chang Yuan to pick up fallen dead branches on the outskirts.

These were some of the few things that could provide warmth in the refugee camp.

After working until noon, Airi and Chang Yuan returned to the camp together.

"Yo, little Airi and Chang Yuan are back."

Since they had been introduced earlier, Tock could now call Chang Yuan by his name.

In this world, there was no concept of surnames.

So Chang Yuan was his full name, and he didn't have the surname Chang.

"Uncle Tock, is the firewood we collected today enough?"

"Enough, enough, the wood you've gathered is enough for two days. You're quite diligent."

As Tock spoke, he picked up a bowl and served a bowl of congee to Chang Yuan, then to Airi.

"Brother Chang Yuan, don't be like yesterday and have me, a girl, feed you. Shame, shame, shame."

Holding up her white congee, Airi didn't forget to remind Chang Yuan.

Hearing this, Chang Yuan shook his head helplessly.

Yesterday, he was in such a hurry purely because he was too hungry.

Now that he wasn't in such a rush, he definitely wouldn't make the same mistake again.

"I won't make the same mistake twice."

After blowing on it a few times, Chang Yuan took a gentle sip.

Seeing that Chang Yuan truly wouldn't make the same mistake again, Airi was finally satisfied and began eating her own white congee.

After finishing the white congee, Airi took Chang Yuan's hand and ran back into the forest.

"Airi, where are you taking me?"

"Don't ask so many questions. When we get there, Brother Chang Yuan, you'll know."

Airi winked at Chang Yuan over her shoulder, choosing to keep it a surprise.

Chang Yuan could only follow her helplessly.

Finally, they arrived beside a lake.

"Heehee, little bunny, come here quickly. I've come to play with you again."

Releasing Chang Yuan's hand, Airi immediately ran towards a fluffy white creature on the grass by the lake.

Chang Yuan took a closer look and realized it was a rabbit.

But unlike ordinary rabbits, it didn't try to run away when it saw Airi. Instead, it hopped towards her.

Is Airi's special nature showing itself at this moment?

Chang Yuan thought to himself, looking at the animal's affinity, which was unlike anything a normal person could have.

"Brother Chang Yuan, look, its name is Little White. Do you think the name is nice?"

"Uh, Airi, why does it feel like Little White doesn't really like me?"

Seeing the little white rabbit baring its teeth at him, revealing its large incisors, Chang Yuan didn't dare to approach at all. Who knew if rabbits had rabies.

"Really? I don't think so?"

Turning the little white rabbit around, Airi looked at the gentle-looking Little White with some confusion.

Chang Yuan's mouth twitched slightly at this.

Damn rabbit, if it weren't female, I'd definitely make spicy rabbit head.

"So you brought me here just to meet this Little White rabbit?"

"Of course not."

Shaking her head, Airi pointed to the lake beside them.

"Brother Chang Yuan, you need to take a bath. The sweat smell on you is getting to me. Although it's not particularly strong, I think you should still take care of your hygiene."

As she spoke, Airi took out a pink, small bar of soap from the small satchel Celia had prepared for her.

Mother Celia had prepared some daily necessities and first-aid supplies for her.

Nothing else was prepared.
