Xiao Kui was shy and wanted to cry and resist when she was hugged, but when she saw the strange uncle in front of her cry first, she couldn't cry anymore.

"Don't cry, Uncle, don't cry." She imitated her mother's way of comforting her and wiped away Shen Muzhi's tears.

Shen Muzhi never expected that he would cry in front of his son and daughter. When his daughter touched his cheek with her small, soft hand, the joy that welled up in his heart was indescribable.

He hugged them for a while, then reluctantly let go, saying, "It's snowing outside, so the children can't go out for now. How about I take you for a snowball fight when the snow stops?"

Hengheng was a little disappointed that he couldn't go out, but he was more interested in the toys in the bag, all of which he had never played with before.

“Go to Dad…” Shen Muzhi paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and said, “How about we go to my house to play? I have lots of toys, look, they’re in here.”

Hengheng glanced at the house, which was right across from theirs, and nodded in agreement.

"Brother, Mom said we can't go to strangers' houses." Xiao Kui was very obedient and always kept Xiang Zhilan's words in mind.

"He's not a stranger!" Hengheng emphasized to Xiaokui again.

A surge of emotions welled up in Chen Mu's heart; his son said he was not a stranger.

Xiao Kui was still a little worried and asked Heng Heng, "Then who is he?"

“He,” Hengheng couldn’t answer. He looked at Shen Muzhi and felt that he was very familiar with him. After hesitating for a while, he could only say, “He is our neighbor, just like Lucas and the others.”

Lucas is their neighbor in New Zealand, a year older than them.

When Xiao Kui heard that she was the same as Lucas, she nodded with relief and said in her childish voice, "Let's go play at Uncle's house."

Shen Muzhi picked up Xiao Kui, patted Hengheng's head, picked up the toys, and led the two children toward the front door.

After opening the door, Shen Muzhi put Xiao Kui down.

When Hengheng and Xiaokui saw that there was a race car at their uncle's house, they immediately ran over excitedly.

Shen Muzhi followed them over, squatted down, looked them in the eye, and taught them how to play with the car.

The two little ones were overjoyed to see the car running on the track, clapping their hands and cheering.

"Hengheng, Xiaokui, what are your names?" Shen Muzhi asked while playing with them, seeing that they were having fun and had let their guard down. He wanted to get more information from the children.

“Xiang Hengxi, Mom said it’s the Heng of eternity and the Xi of hope.” Hengheng answered clearly and loudly.

Upon hearing his name, Shen Muzhi felt a glimmer of hope. He smiled slightly, patted his head, and then looked at Xiao Kui.

Xiao Kui was holding a toy in her hand, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "My name is Luo Xi Kui, Kui as in sunflower."

Shen Muzhi was stunned. How come his surname is Luo?

"Why don't you and your brother have the same surname?" he asked, his throat tightening and his heart suddenly feeling very nervous.

"Because Dad's surname is Luo, and Xiao Kui's surname is also Luo, and her brother's surname is the same as her mother's." Xiao Kui spoke about this clearly, because she had heard it from the aunts who took care of her.

Shen Mu's pupils contracted, and his fist clenched tightly.

It's one thing for Xiang Zhilan to remarry, but she actually changed his daughter's surname to that man's! She really went too far!

“Xiao Kui, Uncle Luo isn’t Dad.” Hengheng corrected his sister, because he had heard his mother correct him many times.

"He's Daddy, he's Daddy!" Xiao Kui clearly didn't like Heng Heng saying that, and suddenly burst into tears: "He's Daddy, Xiao Kui has Daddy, she has Daddy..."
