"With hislove, the prince woke up Snow White who ate the poisoned apple by mistake. Hetold the seven dwarfs that he would marry Snow White as his wife, and that theseven dwarfs were invited to their wedding. They sang and danced to celebratethe happy life of the prince and Snow White."

"Butone day, the evil queen asked the magic mirror: Mirror mirror on the wall, whois the most beautiful woman in the world? The magic mirror said: You are themost beautiful woman in this room, but in the kingdom beyond the forest, thenewly married Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful than you."

"The evilqueen was so furious that she rode a flying broom and wanted to go to the next kingdomto deal with Snow White. But she did so many bad things that when she flew overthe forest, a bolt of lightning struck her and killed her."

Yang Yistill used the story that he did not finished yesterday to coax Xixi to sleep.

The storyhad a happy ending, and Xixi also feel happy for Snow White, but the littlegirl did not smile. She thought of herself.

"Idon't like Snow White's stepmother." Although Xixi was very tired, shestill hugged her teddy bear tightly and said to his father, "Papa, don'tseparate from Mama, okay? Xixi is afraid."

When she mentionedthis question, Yang Yi sighed quietly, and said softly to Xixi: "Xixi, don'tbe afraid, no matter what, Papa will protect you."

"Nomatter who it is, Papa won't let anyone hurt you!" Yang Yi said firmly.

Xixi pursed herlips, put down the teddy bear, stretched out her little hand and said, "Papa,I want a hug."

Yang Yi'sheart softened. He hurriedly lifted the quilt, went to bed, and hugged thelittle girl in his arms.

In herfather's arms, holding her father's big hand, Xixi seemed to feel at ease,gradually breathing smoothly and sleeping soundly.

Today, shewas too tired after going shopping and strolling around. After all, she wasstill a little girl who is less than four years old.

Yang Yiwaited until Xixi was sleeping soundly, then took her little bear, slowlyreplaced his hand, and then picked up the little girl and let her sleep back.

Just as YangYi released his hand and was ready to cover her with the quilt, the little girltwisted and Yang Yi stopped his action.

He saw Xixi drawback her hands, hugged the little bear hard with her long eyelashes pressedtightly against her face, and she murmured vaguely, "Papa, Xixi doesn'twant a stepmother. No.."

He didn'tknow why, but Yang Yi's heart is a little sour, which is a feeling that he hasnever experienced in his previous life!

"No,no." Yang Yi lowered his head, gently kissed her daughter on her forehead,and said softly, "Xixi, don't be afraid."

It was as ifshe had heard her father's words in her dream, and the little girl gradually loosenedher eyebrows.
