The whole family played together, but Li Ruowei had to take care of her unborn child, so she didn't join us. Meng Anshi was still a little afraid of Xie Yuancheng, after all, he used to be his best subordinate.
If it were me, I'd be scared too. The master who was once so high and mighty suddenly becomes part of the family with his sister. This master always has a dark expression; even the most composed person would worry.
"Ying'er, let's go take a boat." Xie Yuancheng pulled Su Ling over, but I held Xi Zhi and refused to go with them. "Let's go, it's not good for you and your child to play here."
I went to check on Xizhi, and his little hands were clenched tightly. "Little Xizhi doesn't like boat rides, and he just doesn't want to go!"
"Xizhi, how about coming to the boat with Daddy?" It was a threat, but Xizhi actually nodded. I wanted to pinch his little face and ask him if his little head was a little silly.
"Mother~ I don't want to get down." Xi Zhi was still scared, and even while sitting on the boat, he held my hand tightly. Of course, I held him while sitting, and Yu'er tried to pull him away twice, but he wouldn't budge.
"Mommy's naughty, otherwise little brother and Yu'er would play together~" Yu'er leaned on my shoulder. He's grown so fast, he can lean on my shoulder even when he's standing on tiptoe, but this little guy already knows how to tattle. "Daddy, little brother and mommy are naughty, they won't play with Yu'er!"
It was too late for me to cover his mouth. Xie Yuancheng walked over and reached out to pull Xizhi. Without thinking, Xizhi reached out and pulled Xie Yuancheng to jump.
"Son and daughter both want their father, you little rascals!" I stood up too. Xizhi looked scared just now, but now she's having more fun than anyone else.
"Auntie~ Yan'er is good to Auntie, I'm not a little rascal." Yan'er ran over and hugged my leg. This little darling has inherited Li Ruowei's gentleness, it's so heartwarming.
"Yan'er, your little sister is about to fall, go help her!" Why aren't you going? My children have all been sent out to play by Xie Yuancheng. The cabin isn't big, but it has soft cushioned seats, and you can hear the sound of flowing water.
"Ying'er~ I'm tired too, I need to lean on you to rest." As soon as the children left, he showed his true colors. I sat down and then let him lean on me. This is childish. We're all adults, why are we still acting like children?
"He's just a kid~" I should have poured cold water on him, but considering Xie Yuancheng's injury back then, I should still act cute for him. If it were me, I wouldn't even know if I had fainted, let alone find someone. His personality would change, and I have an inescapable responsibility for that.
"Should I rub Xiao Chengcheng's arm?" I pinched Xie Yuancheng's arm, and he immediately reached out to me to warm it up. He's so happy with just a little sunshine.
"Where are the teachers?" I haven't seen the teachers this morning, not even Lu Fengjun.
"Of course we went back. They have a mansion in Linyang, but very few people know about it. I'll take you to see it tomorrow. It's so magical. Every time he comes to the mansion, he says we live in the mortal world."
"Really? Then I have to go and take a look. If I don't know where to go in the future, I can go to the teacher's residence."
“That won’t do. They all have things to do. When Xizhi and Suling are a bit older, we’ll send them over to learn martial arts. They also need to study hard so they don’t become stupid from learning martial arts.”
"Yu'er should learn too, don't you care about your eldest son?" I poked his waist. Why don't you let Yu'er stay in Linyang so we can see each other every day?
"Of course I want to too, but it's also good that he learns martial arts from his father-in-law and goes to chat with Uncle Cui about knowledge when he has nothing to do."
"That makes sense. And what about Yan'er? Is she with Xizhi and the others?" Yan'er always acts like a caring older sister, even though she's not much older than them.
"Of course we should do it together. Right now, we're all focused on developing their intelligence. If they can't keep up with those genius juniors, they'll be heartbroken and in tears."
"You really know how to organize things." I've seen what they do every day, and it's definitely what kids do, but they're a bit too self-disciplined. But it turns out that Xie Yuancheng and his sister are really good; they know how to raise children at such a young age.
If I were raising kids, I'd definitely be the free-range type, and I'd spoil them rotten. Xie Yuancheng and I were leaning against the soft couch talking, not even noticing that Yu'er, that little rascal, had brought her younger siblings in.
"Haha~ I heard that!" Yu'er shouted, and I almost burrowed into Xie Yuancheng's arms. "Mommy is such a coward."
"You little coward! Come here to your mother, I'm going to teach you a lesson." I got up and got down. Yu'er was fast and I couldn't catch up with him no matter how many times I chased him.
"Yu'er, come to Daddy." I forgot that Xie Yuancheng, the one who kept the little rascals in check, was still there. Standing next to him, Yu'er came over with a frown on his little face. "Mommy is a precious baby. You can't play with her like that, you know?"
"I know~ Yu'er was wrong." Yu'er came over and took my hand. He really knows how to listen to his father. I was so envious. I looked at Xie Yuancheng, and he smiled even more smugly.
"Keep smiling, but I'm so envious of how you raise your child!" I picked up Yu'er, and he waved his little hands above his head, practically praising Xie Yuancheng.
The other little ones followed, and I would hold one and then switch to another. Kids just love being held. When I get back, I want Xie Yuancheng to hold me like that too.
"Yuancheng~ I want to be lifted up high too, let's see how strong your arms are." I closed the door and asked Xie Yuancheng to pick me up, just like I would when I held the children.
“I carry her every day, and you still dare to doubt me.” Xie Yuancheng put his hand on my waist, and I almost burst out laughing. “If Ying’er were a head shorter, it would be like carrying a baby.”
"Ugh, hehe, put me down, my waist is so itchy." I can't stop laughing. It seems like I carry you like this every day, except you're a bit taller.
"I won't let go. It's Ying'er who wants to be lifted up high, so I won't let you down." I almost laughed until tears streamed down my face. Luckily, Xie Yuancheng was in a good mood, and he let me down after a while.
I lay down on the bed and didn't get up, but Xie Yuancheng pulled my hand and said, "Get up quickly, it's almost dinner time. As a mother, you have to set a good example for your children. If they all learn from you and don't eat, how can that be okay?"
"That's right. Mothers should set an example for their children, and fathers should set an example too. So, when you don't eat, you should think about this sentence more often, or I won't let you off the hook."
"You've become quite clever now, you even know how to argue with me using the words I taught you." Xie Yuancheng has plenty of ways to get me up, I almost laughed, I got out of bed first to open the door and go to the yard.
"Hehe, I'm leaving." I was talking in the yard when he stopped me at the gate. "Why did you come out so quickly? You made me feel like I didn't accomplish anything."
"You can't escape far even if you try." Xie Yuancheng picked me up, and I was about to faint. Yu'er and the others were not far away.
