Shen Qiqi's expression quickly switched between internet memes, and the light in her eyes changed from surprise to determination.

She turned to look at Lu Qing, her eyes full of trust and dependence.

Lu Qing stood beside her, his eyes gentle, as if telling her: "Don't worry, I'm here."

"Big uncle, second uncle, I understand your concerns," Shen Qiqi said, her voice firm but gentle. "However, children's growth requires all-round development. Learning is important, but their interests, hobbies and happiness are equally important. We can find a balance so that they don't delay their studies while giving them more happy time."

The eldest uncle's wife and the second uncle's wife looked at each other, still a little hesitant.

At this time, Lu Qing gently patted Shen Qiqi's shoulder and whispered, "Let me say a few words."

He turned to his eldest and second uncle's wives, his tone sincere and firm: "Eldest and second uncle's wives, Qiqi is right. Children need to grow in many aspects. If they just study blindly, they may lose a lot. Moreover, as parents, we should also pay more attention to their mental state. Give it a try. With us here, the children's studies will not be affected."

The eldest and second uncle's wives were moved by Lu Qing's sincerity, and their faces became softer.

The eldest uncle's wife sighed and said, "Lu Qing, you have a point. Let's give it a try, but we really can't let it interfere with our studies."

The second uncle's wife nodded and added, "Yes, we can try it once and see how it works."

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing smiled at each other, and the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

Shen Qiqi excitedly held Lu Qing's hand and whispered, "Thank you, it's great to have you here."

Lu Qing smiled and responded softly: "I am your husband, of course I have to support you."

At this moment, Brother Lu's daughter, Lu Xiaoya, suddenly ran in, holding a painting in her hand, and said excitedly: "Mom, mom, look at the painting I drew, isn't it beautiful?"

Shen Qiqi took it, and the picture showed a group of children holding hands with bright smiles.

She smiled, stroked Lu Xiaoya's head, and said, "Xiaoya, you draw very well. You really have artistic talent!"

Xiao Ya smiled happily, with pride shining in her eyes.

The eldest uncle's wife and the second uncle's wife looked at the child, then at Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing, and the ice in their hearts finally began to melt.

They understand that this family needs not only strict rules, but also warmth and love.

Just then, the wind blew gently outside, bringing a hint of coolness.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing's hearts were filled with warmth.

They knew that this family was moving in a better direction.

"The moonlight in the yard is beautiful tonight. We can go and see it together." Lu Qing suddenly spoke, with a hint of mystery in his eyes.

Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, she nodded, a sweet smile appearing on her face.

Chapter 54: Melting the Ice and Warming People's Hearts (Continued)

As night falls, the bright moonlight pours into the courtyard like water, giving everything a gentle glow.

Lu Qing took Shen Qiqi's hand, and the two walked side by side in the yard.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not blow away the ambiguous feelings between them.

Lu Qing suddenly stopped and turned to face Shen Qiqi, his eyes shining like stars.

He gently put his arm around her waist, and the soft touch of her waist felt through his fingertips, numbing like an electric shock.

Shen Qiqi's cheeks instantly turned red, like a ripe apple, so cute.

She could feel Lu Qing's hot breath spraying on her ears, and her heart was beating as fast as a drum, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

"Qiqi," Lu Qing's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of magnetic hoarseness, like a whisper between lovers, "The moonlight tonight is so beautiful, just like your eyes, full of light."

Shen Qiqi's heart seemed to be beating like a deer, and her cheeks became even redder.

She looked up at Lu Qing, the affection in her eyes surging like a tide.

She leaned gently in his arms, feeling his warmth, and the atmosphere between them became more ambiguous.

The air seems to be filled with the sweet scent of love.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the yard, bringing new hope.

Lu Xiaoya skipped into the house, holding a test paper in her hand, and excitedly shouted to her uncle and aunt, "Mom! Mom! Look! I got 95 points this time! The teacher said I've made great progress!"

The eldest uncle's wife took the test paper and saw the bright red score. A look of surprise appeared on her face. She looked at the test paper in disbelief, then looked at her excited daughter, feeling mixed emotions.

During this period, she saw changes in her daughter. Not only did her academic performance improve, but she also became more cheerful and lively.

"This... is this really the test that Xiaoya took?" asked the uncle's wife in disbelief.

"Of course! It's all thanks to Aunt Qiqi's good teaching!" Lu Xiaoya puffed out her chest proudly.

Shen Qiqi walked in at this time. Seeing the expression on the uncle's wife's face, she knew that her plan had begun to bear fruit. She walked forward and said with a smile: "Uncle's wife, Xiaoya is very smart. With a little guidance, she can do very well."

The eldest uncle's wife looked at Shen Qiqi with a little more recognition and gratitude in her eyes.

She recalled Shen Qiqi's efforts during this period, as well as the smiles on the children's faces, and the ice in her heart seemed to melt completely.

She understood that what she had been insisting on might not be entirely correct.

Shen Qiqi was filled with relief when she saw the change in her uncle's and his wife's attitude. She understood that as long as she persisted, everyone in the family would accept the new changes and their lives would get better and better.
