Chapter 106

After he called out "Dad," he immediately received shocked looks from his younger brother and sister.

Xu Qingyan said coldly, "Since Mom can shrink overnight, what's so strange about Dad being reincarnated and returning home?"

That makes perfect sense; there's no way to refute it.

Xu Cheye turned his head, a little smug: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and call me Dad."

With Xu Qingyan taking the lead in acknowledging their father, the remaining siblings had no more concerns or doubts.

Xu Niancheng's eyes crinkled into crescents as she boldly called out, "Dad."

Xu Cheye nodded, clearly pleased: "Good boy."

Looking to the next one, the pressure falls on He Nianzhu.

He Nianzhu felt bitter and questioned the meaning of life.

He was happy to see his father come home, of course, but... but why did it have to be this little devil? Just thinking about how he had slapped his father's bottom earlier made him so embarrassed he wanted to crawl into a hole.

He blushed deeply, pressed down on the burning culprit's hand, lowered his head, and stiffly whispered, "Dad."

As the three children took turns calling him "Dad," Xu Cheye felt completely refreshed and invigorated!

Seeing the three children's vastly different behaviors, Xu Cheye's attitude also changed drastically.

He was a loving father to Xu Qingyan, a doting father to Xu Niancheng, but towards his rebellious son He Nianzhu, he sneered and pinched his son's face, squeezing it hard.

"You little brat!"

"Now you don't mind me calling you 'little brat,' right?"

He Nianzhu dared not resist, nor could she resist at all: "Oh, Daddy! I was wrong, please be gentle. I make a living with my face, please have mercy."

His incredibly skillful technique couldn't be faked; it was definitely his father.

He Nianzhu screamed and begged for mercy, while Bubble, watching from the sidelines, was dumbfounded: 0.0

The mini figurines are going crazy.

After giving his son a small lesson, Xu Cheye reluctantly let go, climbed off the chair, and stood back next to Xu Yirou.

A four-year-old mother and a five-year-old father—what an incredible combination! You couldn't find another couple like them anywhere else in the world.

The three siblings exclaimed: How come they always seem to have all these good things happen to them?

Taking this opportunity, Xu Qingyan calmly introduced his wife and daughter to his father.

He took Jiang Yan's hand and patted Bubble's fluffy head: "Dad, this is Jiang Yan, your daughter-in-law. This is my daughter with Jiang Yan, Bubble."

He gently guided her: "Yanyan, this is my dad, Bubble, call him grandpa."

Aside from feeling a little unreal, Jiang Yan felt no pressure and readily called out "Dad" in response.

Bubble was at a loss. Why was the little figurine her great-grandfather? This blow was like a bolt from the blue.

She'll be so embarrassed when she goes out with her friends in the future. The more she thinks about it, the sadder she gets, and she stubbornly raises her head:

"Dad, why is Grandpa only five years old? I don't want such a young grandpa. Please get me a different one."

Jiang Yan was startled and scolded him lightly with displeasure: "Paopao, don't be rude. No matter how young Grandpa is, he is still our elder."

The hardest part is that Grandpa isn't a cabbage at the market; you can't just replace him whenever you want.

It depends on whether Grandma agrees.

Bubble stubbornly protested, "But he's only five years old. If I call him grandpa, the other kids will laugh at me!"

Jiang Yan squatted down, deciding to change her strategy and reason with her daughter in a gentle voice:

"If Mom calls you Grandpa and Dad, does that make Mom feel ashamed in your eyes? Grandma is younger than Grandpa, but you get along very well with Grandma, don't you?"

Bubble stomped her foot and shouted at the top of her lungs, "It's different! Grandma is cute, but Cheche isn't!"

Hearing her little niece's blunt truth, He Nianzhu, who had been hanging her head, bit her lower lip hard to hold back her laughter!

The five-year-old father was showing off his power in front of his son one second, but the next second his little granddaughter brought him back to reality.

...

He went from a forty-something old man to a five-year-old kid with skinny arms and legs, isn't he cute?

How cute does it have to be to be considered cute?

Is there no justice left?

Xu Cheye felt wronged for himself, and after a while, he realized that it was true, since he was someone who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

In his previous life, he was a sunny, popular boy who was loved by everyone. In this life, he was born with a cool and aloof demeanor and an aura that keeps people at arm's length.

It's true that it's a bit annoying for kids.

Jiang Yan and her husband were having a hard time trying to persuade Bubble.

The newly appointed grandfather raised his little hand and said, "Ayan, Yanyan, it's alright."

As a small challenge in returning to family life: "I will use my own abilities to make Bubble accept me, and I will try my best to be a good grandfather."

"dad……"

Xu Qingyan felt helpless.

Bubble turned its little head away, puffing out its cheeks.

A delicious aroma of food wafted slowly through the air, and Xu Yirou, who had been playing a supporting role throughout, snorted and cheered.

"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!"

The family of five reunited after many years and enjoyed a simple dinner.

The only difference is that the main figure is no longer the dignified and imposing father, nor the gentle and graceful mother.

Their parents, whose temples had turned gray and who had entered middle age, had become children who needed their protection and care even more.

The three siblings had no time to express their feelings, silently experiencing a mix of emotions, chatting about everyday trivialities as if it were just like many dinners.

In winter, it gets dark early. By the time we finished dinner, night had already fallen, with only a few stars scattered across the night sky.

Xu Yirou and Paopao each held a small bowl of cherries, looking incredibly cool.

The king-grade cherries are large and plump, looking like a plate of walnuts in the baby's hand, and are exceptionally juicy and sweet.

"Grandma, let me feed you."

Ah~

The two cubs were sweetly feeding each other, making others envious.

The bystander—Xu Cheye.

A servant brought over a tray, and Uncle Yun, who was in the lead, respectfully addressed Xu Yirou and Xu Qingyan:

"Madam, young master, young master Xu has arrived."

The clock struck exactly 7:30, and a pair of bespoke black handmade leather shoes silently stepped onto the carpet and entered.

A tall, slender figure appeared, carrying the chill of early winter, but with a gentle, clear voice: "Uncle, I've come to pick you up."

“Ah Yue”.

Xu Cheye called out.

Xu Yue elegantly adjusted his glasses, faced Xu Yirou, and offered a refined and handsome smile:

"Aunt Rou, thank you for taking good care of my uncle. I'll be treating you to dinner tomorrow, please do me the honor of coming."

Under the soft glow of the crystal lights, Xu Yirou was surrounded by a light halo, and with her sweet smile, she looked just like a little lucky baby who had stepped out of a painting.

"Please do me the honor!"

"What about me, Uncle Xu? Why didn't you invite me?"

"How could Uncle forget my dear niece?" Xu Yue affectionately rubbed Bubble's little nose.

"Uncle will come to pick you up from kindergarten tomorrow with a bang and drums, and I guarantee all the other kids will be green with envy."

"No, no."

The little pink dumplings refused in unison. When asked why, Xu Yirou said righteously and sternly:

"Because making noise will get you arrested by the police, and that would be really embarrassing for you, and for me too!"

Xu Yue resisted the urge to touch her, hoping that God would bless him to have a daughter in the future TAT

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xu Yue prepared to take Xu Cheye with him to say goodbye, but Xu Cheye calmly dropped a bombshell.

“Ayan, I am their father.”

Xu Yue was startled and quickly covered his mouth, which was spouting wild words, while giving him a warning look.

Xu Cheye pushed his hand away: "I really am their father. You can ask them if you don't believe me."

"Ah Yue, let me introduce you, this is my father."

Xu Qingyan calmly and plainly stated: "To put it in unscientific terms, after my father passed away five years ago, he was reincarnated into your family and became your uncle."

"And just recently, he remembered his past life. That's the whole story."

ha?

Reincarnation? Past life?

Xu Yue's eyes were solemn. He placed one hand on the left side of his head and tapped his neck twice to the right, waiting for him to pour out the water from his head first.

alright.

"I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."

"..."

Xu Qingyan remained calm and repeated each word and sentence clearly and rhythmically.

Xu Yue: "Are you trying to play abstract games with me?"

Did you think he'd fall for it? What a joke.

He laughed twice after he finished speaking, but no one paid any attention to him, and the scene became awkward.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yue couldn't take it anymore and spoke again: "No, are you serious?"

He pointed tremblingly at Xu Cheye, his own uncle: "Actually, if you want to take my uncle as your godfather, I don't mind. There's really no need to come up with this kind of trick."

Xu Qingyan didn't even raise an eyebrow: "Do you think I've eaten too much salt?"

I'm bored.

...Xu Yue scratched his head, his eyes glazed over.

He Nianzhu went over and put her arm around his shoulder: "Brother Yue, my dad is your uncle, isn't that a wonderful thing? It's like family members becoming even closer."

"Should I call him Uncle He or Uncle?" Xu Yue asked numbly. "Should I call my 75-year-old father my sweetheart or my dear nephew?"

"What if the old man can't handle the shock and kicks the bucket?"

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

This is indeed a problem.

He Nianzhu quietly touched the pot lid on his head: "Brother Yue, I'm not saying this to be mean, but Grandpa Xu was able to have a child at seventy, which shows that he is still vigorous in his old age. His body is in great shape, so this little bit of stimulation is nothing to him. Don't be too nervous... relax."

"Um?"

Xu Yue raised his voice at the end of his sentence and raised his eager fist.

"If you're so capable, then don't try to hide."

The two of them chased each other around the table.

The scene of the children making noise brought Xu Cheye a warm and joyful feeling.

He waved his hand: "Ah Yue, you don't need to feel guilty. No matter what, I'm still your uncle."

Xu Yue's eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

"Don't let your grandfather know about this." Xu Cheye regarded his grandfather as his father. "I consider him my father, and I respect and love him just like you do. I don't want him to be troubled by this."

“You are all my family, isn’t that a kind of fate?”

Since things have come to this point, what else can we do but accept it?

"Where will you be sleeping tonight?"

The younger generation in the room listened intently.

Xu Cheye's eyes flickered, and he handed the decision to Xu Yirou: "Rou Rou, do you want me to stay?"

Hsu Yi-jou once again became the focus of attention.

The little girl blinked in confusion and pointed to herself.

Xu Cheye nodded slightly.

Xu Yirou scratched her scalp, glancing at him for a moment and then at Bubble, biting her lower lip as if in a dilemma.

Xu Cheye understood; she was afraid that Paopao would be unhappy.

A soft feeling welled up in his chest; Rou Rou was always so gentle and kind, no matter what.

"Cheche, thank you for being the babies' dad today, but I can't take you in."

Xu Yirou's sweet, childlike voice was full of apology and guilt: "Because the teacher said that boys can't sleep with girls, and my bed and Bubble's bed are too small for you to sleep in."

The little dumpling told a little lie: her and Bubble's bed was big enough to comfortably fit two more cubs.

Bubble chimed in, "That's right, there's no room for you on the bed anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xu Cheye smiled at first, then suddenly froze: "Rou Rou, what did you mean by your first sentence? What do you mean by thanking me for being the babies' father today?"

It sounds really weird.

It's like they're changing people tomorrow.

Xu Yirou: "It's to thank you for becoming a dad. Now that you're here, Da Bao and the other kids won't miss their dad anymore. This is the surprise I prepared for the children today!"

At this point, she looked at her three children with anticipation: "Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, Yanyan, are you happy to see your dad?"

Well.

The three siblings nodded hesitantly.

Xu Yirou clapped her hands excitedly: "That's good! Cheche, my good friend, thank you so much!"

What kind of good friend is that?!

"Rou Rou, you and I..." Sensing something was wrong, Xu Cheye panicked and stammered, "You are my wife."

Xu Yirou was taken aback.

Her bright eyes widened in disbelief: "Cheche, you, you're not talking nonsense, I'm not like that!"

"We haven't gotten married yet!"

"Where did those three children come from?" Xu Che asked, feeling frustrated.

Xu Yirou said matter-of-factly, "I picked it up, is that not allowed?"

So none of them are his biological children.

Everyone was speechless.
