The child's eyes were so innocent that it was hard to refuse. Even though the last time they played house hadn't left Chen Bing with pleasant memories, he still agreed, wanting to play with a child.
"Really! Thank you, Chen Bing, you're so kind." Shang Yunmiao tossed the doll in her hand aside and then threw herself into Chen Bing's arms.
After patting Xiao Shang on the back, Chen Bing's slight displeasure dissipated along with the adorable Shang Yunmiao.
Honestly, what's wrong with playing house with a cute little girl? What more could you want? Think about your past life, you barely even spoke a few words to a cute girl, let alone hugged one.
After a moment of joy, Shang Yunmiao straightened up from Chen Bing's embrace. Then she sat down beside him, raised her hand, and cheerfully declared, "I want to be a mother!" After saying that, she turned to look at Chen Bing with a smile on her lips.

"Okay, then I'll be the dad."
Chen Bing imitated Xiao Shang, raising his hand as well. However, compared to Xiao Shang's lively and cheerful demeanor, his actions seemed rather old-fashioned.
Shang Yunmiao chuckled, then picked up Ella and explained the background story to Chen Bing.
As before, the backstory is full of melodrama and legend, but it is actually completely useless.
The actual content of the trip was still the ordinary daily life of a couple staying at home, but this time a new aspect appeared that Chen Bing found quite interesting.
"Brother Bing, you must be tired from work. Sit down here, let me give you a shoulder massage!"
After pretending to have returned from work, Chen Bing sat on the bed and quietly enjoyed the massage his wife was giving him.
I don't know where she learned this plot from, but judging from what she said when she massaged her calves after riding her bike back, it's highly likely that she got the inspiration from her parents.
"Brother Bing, did I massage it well?"
Upon hearing Shang Yunmiao's boastful words once again, Chen Bing keenly sensed something was amiss.
Remember when she massaged her calves earlier, she said something similar, trying to take credit? Based on Chen Bing's understanding of Shang Yunmiao, this child is definitely not the type to say such things. So, she must have learned it from Shang's parents.
As expected, after Chen Bing replied "okay," Shang Yunmiao continued, following her memory of her parents' words, "Then, could you..."
"Cloudy!!!"
Before Shang Yunmiao could finish speaking, Yunxuan, who had just come to deliver something, pushed open the door and interrupted her.
The young mother, her face flushed, held two bottles of yogurt and glared reproachfully at her outspoken daughter. In reality, she had been listening at the door for quite a while, starting with the remark, "Brother Bing, you must be tired from work. Sit here, let me massage your shoulders!"
When she heard these words, she felt they were somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place what was wrong with them.
However, from the word "go to work," she realized the two children were playing house. Perhaps it was because she was still a child at heart, or perhaps she just wanted to hear about children playing house.
In short, Yunxuan stood at the doorway and listened quietly for a while without disturbing the two of them.
When their conversation reached the line, "Brother Bing, did I massage you well?" Yunxuan suddenly realized something was wrong. Before she could figure out when, where, or how much her daughter had heard these words, the other person was about to say something even more shocking.
In order to save face, Yunxuan had no choice but to reveal that she had been eavesdropping, so she quickly pushed open the door to interrupt the other person.
"Mom?" The still innocent Shang Yunmiao tilted her head in confusion and looked at her mother. Chen Bing, who was next to her, pretended to be very busy while feeling embarrassed, and turned her head to count Ella's hair one by one.
"Mom's baking cookies, do you want to come and have some?"
"Okay, Mom, I want to eat."
"good."
After skipping over that awkward topic, the three of them left the bedroom and went to the kitchen.
"Mom, haven't the cookies been baked yet?" Shang Yunmiao's expression immediately turned to disappointment when she saw the freshly kneaded dough on the baking tray.
She thought the cookies were already baked and waiting for her to eat them.
Yunxuan didn't offer much explanation, but simply smiled and said, "Don't you want to mold it into your favorite shape?"
Shang Yunmiao agreed, so she took Chen Bing's hand and said, "Chen Bing, let's make cookies together!"
"Okay, go wash your hands first."
After watching the two children climb onto the small stools and wash their hands carefully, Yunxuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to move past the topic.
Honestly, when exactly did this little girl overhear me?
After the two children washed their hands, they sat on the stools and made cookies with Yunxuan.
To ensure it was fun enough, Yunxuan didn't use a plastic model, but instead made it entirely by hand.
"Chen Bing, look, isn't the heart shape I made pretty?"
After Shang Yunmiao sculpted a perfect heart shape, she immediately handed it to Chen Bing to show him.
"It's beautiful, it's beautiful." Chen Bing glanced at it and muttered a few perfunctory words. Then, he finished his work—a cartoon-style, extremely cute little bear.
"Wow, Chen Bing, you're so amazing!" Shang Yunmiao immediately put on an admiring expression after seeing the little bear that Chen Bing had sculpted.
Following her daughter's voice, Yunxuan also saw the little bear Chen Bing had sculpted. It had to be said, it was truly beautiful. However… Yunxuan glanced at her daughter with a complicated expression. Before, when Chen Bing made cookies…
"Aunt Xuan, here's a little star for you." Just as Yun Xuan was feeling down, Chen Bing held out a star-shaped cookie she had just made.
A cute little boy held out a small star he had made himself, and looked at me with sincere eyes.
Feeling touched by his cuteness, Yunxuan said thank you and accepted the little star he offered, her lips curving into a smile thanks to Chen Bing.
By the way, what about Yun Miao?
Yunxuan looked at her daughter with concern, only to find that the girl was holding a pink rabbit cookie in each hand and smiling happily.
Honestly, my daughter... she was so easily seduced by another boy.
However... Yunxuan looked at Chen Bing, who was focused and handsome as he was carefully kneading the little animal. Who could blame her for being so lovable?
After shaping the cookies and placing them on the baking tray, Yunxuan continued her work in the kitchen. After finishing making the cookies, Chen Bing and the other girl lost interest in playing house. So, the two children went to the living room to watch TV.
Around 7 p.m., Shang Zhengxin came home from get off work.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Chen Bing sitting on the sofa.
Because he usually gets off work quite late, he doesn't have much contact with Chen Bing. The only time they could be considered to have interacted was when they played Go together.
Although they had little contact, he had a fairly good impression of this sensible and intelligent neighbor's child.
