Xiao Aixi, who likes small animals, faces the birds and wants to go over and play with them. However, a stranger is standing next to the birds with bread crumbs to feed them. The fear in her heart makes her not want to get close.

Seeing Xiao Aixi struggling, He Chenxi continued to persuade, "Xiao Aixi, do you like small animals very much?"

Xiao Aixi nodded and agreed, "I really like small animals and I want to go over and play with them. But..."

Looking at the stranger beside her, Xiao Aixi's eyes were filled with fear. She recalled the scene when she was in the mall with He Chenxi, surrounded by the media. The flashing flashes kept appearing like nightmares, all the time in her nightmare.

He Chenxi pointed to the stranger who was feeding and said softly in Xiao Aixi's ear, "Xiao Aixi, look at what he is doing, is feeding those birds. She must also like small animals, and those birds are not afraid of her."

Xiao Aixi nodded. She didn't know what He Chenxi wanted to say, so she could only listen to her continue talking silently.

"The person that little animals like is not a bad person. You must think so, right?"

Xiao Aixi couldn't help but be stunned. She really likes small animals and thinks that people who like small animals will not be bad people. However, the fear in her heart made her hesitate for a moment.

Hearing He Chenxi's step by step inducement, Gu Shengze couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. He knew that He Chenxi's work had been done almost, and it was his turn to appear next.

Walking to Xiao Aixi, Gu Shengze reached out to rub her head and gently, "Xiao Aixi, do you still remember what happened when Dad went to see the dolphin with you?"

Xiao Aixi nodded. For her who likes small animals, that close contact with dolphins was an experience she would never forget in her life.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Gu Shengze continued to persuade, "How is this time? Dad accompanied you to see the birds. I believe they must also want to be friends with you."

Under Gu Shengze's persuasion, Xiao Aixi's heart became shaken. On the one hand, she wanted to contact Xiaobiu, but on the other hand, she was worried about the stranger beside her.

"But, I'm afraid..."

Gu Shengze grabbed Xiao Aixi's little hand and said, "Do you believe in your father?"

Xiao Aixi nodded vigorously. Like most children, Dad is like a hero in her heart. No matter what difficulties she encounters, as long as she needs them, Dad will fall from the sky and stand by her side forever.

"Since you believe in your father, then your father promises you that no matter what you encounter, you will not be hurt at all." Gu Shengze paused and then said, "How about going to see with your father?"

Under Gu Shengze's constant persuasion, Xiao Aixi finally overcame the fear in her heart and nodded vigorously.

He Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was still a long way to go before full recovery, Xiao Aixi had overcome the first fear in her heart, and the next thing would be much simpler.

He put Xiao Aixi down from his arms and handed her over to Gu Shengze. Gu Chenxi and Gu Shengze looked at each other, and then walked alone to the stranger who was feeding him.

Seeing He Chenxi leave, Xiao Aixi subconsciously showed a hint of fear in her eyes. But then, Gu Shengze's big hand held her little hand firmly in the palm of her hand. The warmth from Gu Shengze's palm suddenly made her feel much more at ease.

"Dad, hug..." Although Xiao Aixi overcame her fear, she still didn't want to leave her parents' arms. Only by hiding in their arms can she feel safe.

Gu Shengze frowned slightly. Only by letting Xiao Aixi walk over by himself can she truly help her overcome her fear. Thinking of this, he shook his head and whispered in Xiao Aixi's ear, "Xiao Aixi, dad will not leave you, he will always hold your hand. How about it, you walk over with your legs, otherwise those birds will definitely laugh at you."

Gu Shengze's words worked. Xiao Aixi really liked small animals so much. She nodded vigorously and finally plucked up the courage to take the first step.

Gu Shengze has been following Xiao Aixi and accompanied her step by step to the bird.

The stranger who was feeding the birds was an older sister of the same age as He Chenxi. When she saw Xiao Aixi coming over, she smiled at her.

"Little sister, do you like small animals too?"

A trace of fear flashed in Xiao Aixi's eyes, and she subconsciously hid behind Gu Shengze. But Gu Shengze shook her head and said softly, "Xiao Aixi, have you forgotten what your father taught you before? What should someone come and say hello?"

Xiao Aixi kept hesitating in her heart. When she saw the stranger's kind smile, she finally made up her mind and nodded vigorously, "Little Aixi likes small animals very much and wants to be friends with them."

She walked to Xiao Aixi and handed her a bag of bread crumbs in her hand, "Since that's the case, I'll give you these bread crumbs. These little birds like to eat them very much, and I believe you can become good friends with them."

Gu Shengze looked at her gratefully. He Chenxi came over first before, and told her about Xiao Aixi's situation and asked her for help. After hearing about Xiao Aixi's situation, she felt very pitiful and agreed without hesitation to help Xiao Aixi get out of the shadow.

Taking the crumbs from the girl, Xiao Aixi blushed and thanked her. During the simple communication with the girl, she had already felt that she had no malice towards her and no longer feared her.

Xiao Aixi fed the breadcrumbs to the birds, and the girl also chatted with Xiao Aixi. Xiao Aixi, who was originally a little unwilling to let go, quickly got along with her. The two of them talked a lot, as if they were good friends.

Once again, he expressed his gratitude to the girl. He Chenxi and Gu Shengze took Xiao Aixi home. After this experience, Xiao Aixi had already walked out of the shadow. She no longer rejected going out with He Chenxi, and would not hide when she met strangers occasionally. However, because of the shadow last time, she still refused to go to a crowded place.

Gu Shengze and He Chenxi discussed it and the treatment of Xiao Aixi so far can be said to be very successful. However, these alone are not enough, and she must be able to fully recover to her former appearance.

After some discussion, the two made a decision. It was time to take Xiao Aixi to a crowded place to help her completely drive away her inner fear.

"Xiao Aixi, mom and dad are going out today. Do you want to come with me?" After lunch, He Chenxi decided to start the final steps.

Xiao Aixi was no longer reluctant to go out, so she nodded and agreed immediately, "I want to go, I want to go! Where are we going today? Do we still have to go to the lake to play with the birds?"

He Chenxi shook her head, stared at Xiao Aixi's eyes tightly and said, "Dad to go out to the streets, are you afraid?"

When talking about going out to the street, a hint of fear flashed in Xiao Aixi's eyes.

At this moment, Gu Shengze walked over, squatting beside Xiao Aixi, and constantly stroked her little head with his hands, "Xiao Aixi, have you forgotten what your father said? No matter where he goes, his father will protect you. Don't you believe in Dad?"

Xiao Aixi bit her lip hard, and she stretched out her hand to hold Gu Shengze's hand, "Xiao Aixi believes in dad! As long as she has dad here, Xiao Aixi will never be afraid!"

Gu Shengze nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is Xiao Aixi, my father knows. Go clean up and go out with your parents."

After simple preparation, Xiao Aixi followed He Chenxi and Gu Shengze out of the house. When she came to the street, she looked at the crowds coming and going, a trace of fear appeared in Xiao Aixi's eyes. She reached out and grabbed He Chenxi's hand tightly, "Mom, I'm afraid, I want to hug..."

He Chenxi hesitated for a moment, and she held Xiao Aixi in her arms. Little Aixi, who hid in He Chenxi's arms, was obviously much more relaxed. She buried her head in her chest, trying not to see the passers-by by.

He Chenxi and Gu Shengze looked at each other. It was not a solution to continue like this. Little Aixi did not really overcome her inner fear.

At this time, they happened to pass by the last time the marshmallow stall with Xiao Aixi. He Chenxi gently patted Xiao Aixi on the head with his hand, pointed at the marshmallow stall beside him, and said, "Xiao Aixi, do you want to buy marshmallows?"

When Xiao Aixi heard the marshmallow, light shone in her eyes. Since she had eaten it once before, Xiao Aixi has been deeply fascinated by the soft texture and sweet taste of the marshmallow.

He Chenxi pulled Gu Shengze's sleeve behind him and winked at him. The two of them had a good understanding, and Gu Shengze immediately understood her consciousness.

"No! Children cannot eat the things on the street, they are not clean." Gu Shengze looked solemn and did not allow He Chenxi to buy cotton candy for Xiao Aixi.

Xiao Aixi's ** who wanted to eat cotton candy had been hooked up by He Chenxi. She pouted and acted coquettishly at Gu Shengze.

But Gu Shengze did not feel soft-hearted. He shook his head firmly, "No, unless Xiao Aixi grows up, you are not allowed to eat it."

He Chenxi showed no way to do anything, gently rubbed Xiao Aixi's head, and said, "What's the matter with Xiao Aixi?"

Gu Shengze looked thoughtful and said slowly, "When she can buy it herself, it can prove that she has grown up."

He Chenxi showed a pity and said to Xiao Aixi in his arms, "There is no way. Dad doesn't let the children eat marshmallows, he can only wait until you can buy it yourself."

Smelling the scent from the marshmallow stall, Xiao Aixi seemed to feel the sweet smell. She stared at the marshmallow on the stall and bit her lip hard.

"Xiao Aixi has grown up and can buy cotton candy by herself!" As if she had made up her mind, Xiao Aixi said solemnly.
