As soon as I stepped into the yard, one luxury car after another drove into the garage. There seemed to be quite a few people there, and the cheerful chatter from inside the house could be heard from outside the door.
As soon as Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu entered the house, seven or eight children chased after them. They were not too afraid to get close to Xian Mingyu, but they all liked to stick to Bai Xiaoruo.
"Sister, sister."
"My sister plays with us."
Bai Xiaoru looked bewildered and didn't know what to do.
"They are..."
"My cousins, and my nephews and such."
They were all the children of his uncles, cousins, and other relatives. Because these children were of similar age, they could play together.
They come over to visit every year around this time.
However, Xuan Mingyu rarely spends the Lunar New Year here because his parents are busy with work and rarely take care of him. His relationship with them is not very good and is rather cold. Xuan Mingyu usually goes back to L City to spend the Lunar New Year with Xuan Zhengsen and Lin Suqing, while only Xuan Xingze stays here.
Almost every family has more than two children, whether they are older or younger than Xian Mingyu, they all got married a few years earlier, and their place is very lively. Only their place is the most deserted.
He doesn't like children, and even when they meet over the years, he always has a stern face towards them, so the children are all afraid of him.
Last time, on Xuan Zhengsen's birthday, because it overlapped with the time when these little brats had to go to school, many relatives living in the United States left their children here instead of taking them with them, so this was the first time Bai Xiaoruo had met these children.
Children are naturally curious. Although they don't know who Bai Xiaoruo is, they are not afraid of strangers at all.
To them, anyone who dared to stand with Xian Mingyu was the most remarkable person, because he was fierce and would never play or laugh with them. They would always stay far away from him at family gatherings.
This year marks the first time in recent years that Xuan Mingyu has brought Bai Xiaoruo to the United States for the Lunar New Year in such a formal manner, allowing many relatives who have never met her before to finally see her.
These mischievous kids couldn't wait for Bai Xiaoruo to take them out to play. Although it wasn't their first time here, the presence of a strange older sister this year was enough to excite them for half a day.
"Sister, sister, let's go play! Let's go play!"
"Sister, I brought my doll. Shall we play together?"
......
Bai Xiaoruo looked at this person and then at that person, and they were all talking at once, so she didn't know which one to talk to first.
These little devils are a handful. Their chubby little hands were tugging at her clothes, almost tearing the buttons off. Luckily, she wasn't wearing a skirt today, or they would have definitely ripped it off.
"this......"
Bai Xiaoruo glanced at Xuan Mingyu beside her for help. The next second, Xuan Mingyu shouted angrily, and all the unruly children surrounding Bai Xiaoruo immediately quieted down.
"Shut up, all of you!"
The children looked at Bai Xiaoruo with pitiful eyes and all hid behind her.
"Sister, sister, I'm scared."
"My third uncle has started swearing again, and he's so fierce."
"You mean cousin! I'm not playing with you anymore!"
"Sister, please save us!"
Bai Xiaoruo instantly became their protector, and everyone crowded behind her.
The youngest and shortest little kid couldn't squeeze into a spot, fell on his bottom on the ground, and burst into tears.
Bai Xiaoruo quickly went over to help him up and coax him. The little boy immediately jumped into Bai Xiaoruo's arms, stomping his short legs for a hug.
"Hug me, big sister, hug me."
"Okay, okay, hug me, don't cry." Bai Xiaoruo easily picked him up.
This child is only about two or three years old and can't even walk steadily yet. It's common for him to be bullied when he plays with older children.
Held in Bai Xiaoruo's arms, the little one stopped crying, grinned and giggled, rubbing his chubby little face against her chest, his little hands tightly gripping her clothes.
Seeing this, Xuan Mingyu was not happy.
This brat dares to take advantage of his wife right in front of him; he's far too arrogant.
She grabbed the little one in Bai Xiaoruo's arms by the back of his collar and tried to pull him off, yelling, "Where are you touching! Get down here!"
The little one refused no matter what, pouting as if about to cry, "Sister, sister, Uncle is going to hit me again, please save me." The little one's voice was so sweet and childish that it melted everyone's heart.
Don't let his young age fool you, he can talk a lot.
Bai Xiaoruo certainly wouldn't argue with such a young kid; he was making a mountain out of a molehill. "I'll just hug him for a little while, don't be so fierce."
Like a protective mother hen, she gently patted the little one's back in her arms, coaxing him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
“You’re not his sister,” Xian Mingyu gently pinched the little boy’s cheek. “You brat, when have I ever hit you? This is your third aunt, don’t call her sister.”
Calling him "uncle" while addressing her as "sister" makes the age difference between them seem far too great.
"No! This is my sister, Rui Rui, someone's sister." He was still young and his speech wasn't very clear. The little guy pouted and swatted away Xian Mingyu's hand that was pinching his face with his chubby little hands. He buried his face in Bai Xiaoruo's chest and wouldn't let him touch him.
Seeing Bai Xiaoruo treat the little one in her arms so gently, and even dare to confront Xian Mingyu directly, the children's eyes lit up instantly. They also wanted their big sister to hug them.
