He had purposely sat by the door to wait for his dad to come back.

Lin Yi chuckled and ruffled Huo Mianmian's hair.

At that moment, Huo Mianmian reached out with his small hand and pulled out a red candy from the package. "I'm eating these bear-shaped candies, Dad. Have one too."

With that, he stretched his hand to feed the candy to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi leaned down, took the candy, chewed it a couple of times, and then said, "It's really good."

Huo Mianmian beamed with joy and pulled out another candy to offer to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi accepted it again.

After feeding him the candy, Huo Mianmian enthusiastically shared his new discovery of the day. "Dad, I found a magical plant on the artificial hill."

Lin Yi played along, asking, "Really? How magical is it?"

Huo Mianmian immediately stood up from the steps and began leading the way. "Come with me, and you'll see."

Naturally, Lin Yi followed.

Soon, they arrived at the artificial hill in the villa area.

Huo Mianmian led Lin Yi up the hill for a bit, then squatted down and pointed to a patch of grass. "Dad, it's this plant. It's super magical! When I touch it, its leaves start to close!"

Lin Yi leaned forward to look and laughed.

Isn't this a sensitive plant?

Still, Lin Yi said, "Why don't you show me how it works?"

Huo Mianmian, upon hearing this, obediently touched the sensitive plant.

In the next second, the leaves of the sensitive plant indeed closed up one by one.

Huo Mianmian looked at Lin Yi with sparkling eyes. "Dad, didn't I tell you?"

Lin Yi praised him, "You're right. Our Mianmian is a keen observer, noticing even this."

Huo Mianmian smiled sweetly after being praised.

He poked the sensitive plant again and asked Lin Yi, "Dad, what kind of plant is this?"

Lin Yi replied, "It's called a sensitive plant."

"A sensitive plant?" Huo Mianmian tilted his head, thinking for a moment, then said innocently, "So this plant is very shy?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle. "It seems so."

Huo Mianmian, as if discovering something fun, kept poking the sensitive plant while saying, "Don't be shy. We can be friends, you know."

Unfortunately, the sensitive plant couldn't understand him and continued to close its leaves whenever touched.

Suddenly, Huo Mianmian realized something. "Dad, if I keep poking it, won't it get tired?"

After all, the leaves of the sensitive plant constantly opening and closing must be exhausting.

Lin Yi smiled. "Do you think it gets tired?"

Huo Mianmian thought for a moment and nodded. "It must be very tiring."

With that, he retracted his hand and stopped poking the sensitive plant.

This way, the sensitive plant wouldn't be tired anymore.

Listening to these innocent words, Lin Yi felt his heart soften.

The world of human children is truly full of childlike charm.

Meanwhile, an online revelation caught the attention of netizens.
