Since he was young, Xiao Long had rarely been held by men.
His impression was that only his mom and Grandma Jia had held him.
When He JianShe picked him up, he was initially startled, then he was excited and thrilled.
Uncle He’s embrace was broad, and his arms felt strong, unlike when his mom held him and he would always slide down, needing to be adjusted frequently as they walked.
Uncle He held him securely, so he didn’t have to cling tightly to Uncle He’s neck to stay steady.
"Mom, Uncle He is so strong," Xiao Long shouted excitedly, "Uncle He, you’re really amazing."
He JianShe chuckled at his words, "That’s amazing, huh?"
Xiao Long nodded vigorously, "Uncle He is tall and strong, is he like a dad?"
"Xiao Long," Wang Tianxue quickly stopped him, "Don’t say such things."
"I’m not saying anything wrong. All the kids in my class say dads are the strongest."
He didn’t have a dad, but Uncle He was the strongest person he had ever seen.
Wang Tianxue didn’t know how to explain it to him. He JianShe spoke up, "No worries, the child is still young, don’t take it to heart."
Wang Tianxue could only apologize to He JianShe.
Fortunately, Xiao Long quickly changed the subject.
The three of them chatted as they headed to the market.
There were many people at the market, so He JianShe didn’t put Xiao Long down and held him the whole time.
Feeling bad, Wang Tianxue took on the role of buying vegetables.
She was the one picking the vegetables, but every time it came to paying, a large hand always handed the money over before she could.
This action earned praise from the woman selling meat, "Oh dear, you must be lucky to have found such a considerate man, and your son is so well-behaved, he looks just like his father."
Wang Tianxue blushed deeply and wanted to clarify that this wasn’t the child’s father, but He JianShe had already taken the meat from the woman and thanked her with a smile.
Wang Tianxue caught up with He JianShe and, when there were fewer people around, awkwardly asked him, "Why didn’t you explain?"
He JianShe raised an eyebrow, "Explain what? It’s not like she’s a friend we know; there’s no need to explain. She’s just a businesswoman being polite, she probably says that to everyone."
Now, Wang Tianxue didn’t know what to say.
Thinking about it, He JianShe was right. They didn’t know the woman; who cares what she said, there’s nothing to explain.
Just as she was thinking this, Xiao Long piped up brightly, "Mom, I want Uncle He to be my dad, why don’t you let Uncle He be my dad?"
Wang Tianxue wished she could cover Xiao Long’s mouth, quickly stopping her son, explaining, "Brother He, I’m sorry, the child doesn’t know better."
"It’s okay."
Seeing he wasn’t bothered by it, Wang Tianxue quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
When they arrived at He JianShe’s house, Xiao Long was very happy.
His mom rarely visited relatives; besides Grandma Jia’s house, he’d only been to Grandpa He’s house and Aunt Lin’s house.
Uncle He’s house was big, especially with a police cap hanging from the coat rack that fascinated him. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Xiao Long blinked his big shiny eyes and asked admiringly, "Uncle He, are you a police officer?"
As he entered the house, He JianShe noticed Xiao Long’s gaze. He reached out, took the cap, and placed it on Xiao Long’s little head, "Yes, Uncle He is a police officer."
"Wow, Uncle He, you’re awesome."
"Mom, Mom, did you hear? Uncle He is a police officer..."
