As he spoke, Brother Ting lowered his head slightly to look at Ruhuahua, his tone uncharacteristically solemn. "Little one, you really aren't a child anymore."
The implication was clear: he would no longer be able to carry her the way he did now. Since she was no longer a child, she had lost that special privilege. Hearing this, Ruhuahua felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest. When she was younger, she had disliked being treated like a child and always longed to grow up quickly. But now that the moment had arrived, she realized she had enjoyed many advantages simply because of her youth.
Ruhuahua couldn't help but press her lips together firmly. It was precisely because he had always seen her as a child that Brother Ting had taken such meticulous care of her. Now that she wasn't a child anymore, the thought that Brother Ting might not treat her the same way in the future filled her with a strange sense of abandonment.
