The snow kept falling outside, so they stayed home and watched a movie instead of going out.
Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran did not choose to watch a horror movie, but instead picked a very gentle and childlike animated film.
Cheng Ye was so moved that tears almost streamed down her face. "The sun really rose in the west today! My sister not only made us breakfast, but she also didn't take me to see a horror movie."
Xiao Feiran, who had come out with a few bags of potato chips and spicy strips, patted him on the shoulder when she heard him say that, "Cherish it, maybe tomorrow you'll be able to watch ten horror movies in a row."
Cheng Ye quickly covered her ears, "Don't say such unlucky things."
After saying that, she took a bag of potato chips from Xiao Feiran's arms, pounced on the sofa, found the most comfortable position, and happily started watching the movie.
"Why did you suddenly let go of Cheng Ye today?" Xiao Feiran walked to the table and put down her things.
Cheng Zhi rummaged through the snacks, trying to find a small bag of spicy beef tendon strips. As she searched, she said, "The child has been going out with us to sell things these past two days, so let's give him a day off as a reward."
Hearing Cheng Zhi's heartfelt words, Xiao Feiran feigned tears of joy, patted Cheng Zhi's head, and said, "What a touching scene of sisterly love and brotherly respect, I'm about to cry!"
Cheng Zhi rolled her eyes speechlessly and shoved a spicy snack into Xiao Feiran's mouth. "Don't you dare say anything, you're just changing idioms, or I'll sue you!"
The three of them watched a movie in the morning and played cards in the afternoon—a truly wonderful day. Seeing this harmonious scene, Cheng's parents felt a brief moment of peace.
Cheng's mother even put down her books and just looked at the three of them.
Holding Liu Liu, Cheng's father was also filled with emotion, "I never thought my wish to have three children would actually come true. Rongqing, can you see them? They're all so well-behaved!"
Having three children was indeed Cheng's father's wish, but more than twenty years have passed, and Cheng's mother has somewhat forgotten why Cheng's father wanted three children. "Why did you want three again? It's been so many years, I've forgotten why?"
It's normal to forget after so many years, Mr. Cheng said, turning his head to explain. "Back then, there was a pancake vendor on our street, and they had twin daughters. You must have seen them, right? Oh my! Two little braids, wearing little skirts, running around the street. The two little girls looked exactly alike. I saw them every day after get off work, and I was so envious. That's why I really wanted twin daughters too."
Cheng's mother nodded with some confusion and asked, "So what does this have to do with you wanting three children?"
Mr. Cheng patted the sofa and said, “Let me continue. I want cute twin daughters, but I’m afraid that girls will be bullied outside. So I want to have a son first, so that he can protect his sisters outside or at school.”
Upon hearing this reason, Cheng's mother burst out laughing. "Hahahaha... It's not something you can just decide on your own. But speaking of which, why do you love your daughter so much?"
This involves some old stories. Cheng Zhi's grandparents had five children in their lifetime. The first four were all boys. Her grandmother dreamed of having a girl, and finally, the fifth child was a little girl.
This is the only little girl in the family, and Cheng's father and his brothers all adore her. They love this little sister because she has big eyes, two dimples when she smiles, and a sweet, milky scent.
Since their younger sister was born, they no longer go out to play after school; they just want to go home and take their sister out to play.
Everything was fine until my younger sister fell seriously ill when she was four years old. She didn't make it and died in that cold winter.
So that's why there were these reasons behind it all. Cheng's mother sighed with some regret.
She recalled the time when she had just given birth to Cheng Zhi. Back then, most older people preferred boys to girls, and she was afraid that her in-laws would not like the child when she saw that Cheng Zhi was a girl.
Unexpectedly, they didn't mind at all; on the contrary, they liked her very much and would come to see Cheng Zhi every few days. They would buy her any toys she wanted without hesitation, almost spoiling her.
Mrs. Cheng patted Mr. Cheng's shoulder reassuringly, "At least your wish has come true now. You have two daughters, and they are both so beautiful and capable. What a blessing!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Cheng's previously low mood instantly returned to normal. He looked at Xiao Feiran and couldn't stop praising her, "Feiran is truly our family's savior. Since she came, we don't have to stop Cheng Zhi and Cheng Ye from arguing and fighting anymore!"
Cheng's mother: "...Your way of thinking is quite unique."
After a fun-filled day, Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran returned to their room early.
Cheng Zhi had originally planned to go to sleep, but as soon as she lay down on the bed, Xiao Zhi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and landed precisely on Cheng Zhi's stomach with a 'thud'.
Good evening, my two masters!
"..."
Standing by the door, Xiao Feiran saw the energetic Xiao Zhi and Cheng Zhi, who seemed to have already left this beautiful world. She pointed at Cheng Zhi and said, "Hmm... Good evening. Just a little reminder, do you want to find another place? If you stand here any longer, your other owner might... pass away?"
After Xiao Feiran's reminder, Xiao Zhi finally noticed Cheng Zhi, who was being pinned down. It quickly jumped to the other side, apologized frantically to Cheng Zhi, and even stretched out its two little paws to give Cheng Zhi CPR.
Cheng Zhi rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, cursing the artificial intelligence a thousand times in her mind.
Xiao Feiran closed the door and walked over, saying, "Why did you suddenly come out? Can you come and go from your spatial dimension at will?"
Upon hearing Xiao Feiran's voice, Xiao Zhi turned around. "Xiao Zhi can't come and go as he pleases. I was only allowed to come out to find you because I received instructions from Master Yiyi."
"There's actually this function?" Xiao Feiran searched his memory but couldn't recall it at all.
Lying in bed, Cheng Zhi heard Huang Yiyi's name and turned around with difficulty, asking, "So what did Yiyi send you here for?"
Upon hearing Yiyi's master's instructions, Xiaozhi immediately replied, "Yiyi's master asked me to pass on a message to you two: 'Hahahaha, I'm rich! Quickly return to my space to celebrate with me!' After delivering the message, Xiaozhi went back to his space first~"
Interesting, very interesting! Cheng Zhi instantly felt no pain and stood up energetically. "Let's go, let's see what kind of fortune Boss Huang has made!"
