Chapter 5 Chapter 5 So childish? Is it really just a...
"Hey babies! Pause the game for a moment! We have a new friend joining us! Let's give him a round of applause!"
Chen Cheng said with a gentle smile.
Everyone stopped, and a group of cute little kids all stared at the back of Chen Cheng.
Xia Tian held his breath slightly, watching the person walk out, a huge smile on his face, and he was the first to applaud. The other children followed suit, clapping their hands in a much louder way than when they welcomed Xia Tian.
Si Cheng was wearing a white lapel sweatshirt and navy blue trousers of the same style. He didn't look as old as he did when he wore a suit before, but he was still a cool guy with single eyelids.
Chen Cheng looked at him with a smile, and in a delicate yet proud voice, he reminded him, "Introduce yourself!"
Si Cheng saw Xia Ji at a glance. When the other person smiled, the happiness was revealed in his eyes and his face was calm.
Glancing at the other little ones with silly faces, he began to regret his decision. As a grown man in his twenties, mixing with a group of real children was really too much for him, even for the purpose of observing summer!
"Sicheng." His voice was crisp and clear.
Chen Cheng continued to look at him with a smile, his eyes full of loving encouragement, as if to say, and then, keep going!
The other children also raised their heads, looked at him innocently, and waited for what would happen next.
Si Cheng frowned slightly and looked up at Chen Cheng, "Is there anything else?"
Chen Cheng knew his background and didn't dare to offend him. His smile froze. "Okay, Sicheng, go ahead. You have to get along well with the other kids from now on~"
Si Cheng walked straight towards Xia Ji and stood next to him.
He is half a head taller than Xia Ji and about the same height as Li Siya.
The smile on Xia Tian's face paused for a moment, and then he pretended nothing had happened. The other children looked at Si Cheng curiously until Chen Cheng started the next procedure.
"We all know that there's another teacher coming today, right? Well, he's actually been here a long time ago. Can you guess where he is?"
The male teacher hiding in the teddy bear was sweating profusely. He was also a young idol in his early twenties, named Qi Leyuan.
Xia Tian pointed at the stuffed bear with a speechless look on his face. The other children also pointed at the stuffed bear and shouted, "Teacher! We knew it a long time ago!"
Qi Leyuan couldn't wait to take off his headgear and said with a smile: "You kids are awesome! I am your teacher Lele!"
Xia Ji curled his lips and noticed that Si Cheng beside him was also speechless. He immediately shouted in support, "Welcome Teacher Lele!!!"
This caused Si Cheng to glance at him.
The other children basically took Xia Ji as their leader and followed him in shouting. For a moment, the living room of the villa was in chaos, filled with the excited screams of children.
Si Cheng endured for a few seconds and felt like his head was about to explode from the noise.
"Hahaha! Okay, okay, babies, be quiet!" Chen Cheng said with a smile.
"The babies are so enthusiastic!" said Qi Leyuan.
"Go change your clothes first. Your head is covered in sweat," said Chen Cheng.
"Okay, okay, I'll go first. My dears, you must listen to Teacher Chengcheng. Teacher Lele will be back soon!" Qi Leyuan also said in a pinched voice.
It seems that when adults talk to children, they always deliberately pinch their throats.
"Next, we are going to play a treasure hunt game in the garden outside. There are four cards in total, all placed in treasure chests. Some of the treasure chests are empty, and some contain cards. Each card corresponds to a snack or toy. We will form teams of two, and whoever finds it first will get an extra reward!" Chen Cheng said with a smile.
"Okay!" Xia Ji said loudly, her dimples appearing and disappearing, and her smile was particularly sweet.
"I want to be in the same group with Xia Ji!" Li Siya also shouted, and quickly grabbed Xia Ji's hand.
"An An and I!" Tongtong hugged An An, and An An happily said yes.
"I want to be in the same group with Xia Ji too!" Cheng Youyi shouted. She walked to Xia Ji's side. "Xia Ji, I want to be in the same group with you."
Li Siya was dissatisfied. He wanted to push Cheng Youyi, but he restrained himself and said, "No! Xia Ji is mine!"
"Xia Ji is not yours! Li Siya! Let Xia Ji speak for herself. Xia Ji, who do you want to be in the same group with?" Cheng Youyi is the cutest looking, but he speaks with great authority.
Li Siya immediately looked at Xia Ji nervously.
"Me?" Xia Tian rolled his eyes. This decision was very difficult. Children are also temperamental. No matter who he chose, the other party would be unhappy.
He glanced at Si Cheng next to him. Si Cheng had one hand in his trouser pocket, looking indifferent, as if he was staying out of the matter and had no sense of involvement.
Xia Tian smiled mischievously and pointed at Si Cheng, "I'm in the same group with him."
Si Cheng raised an eyebrow in surprise. Before he could say anything, Li Siya jumped out to object, "No! You're my best friend, you have to be in my group!"
The little yellow-haired boy was so angry that he almost cried. He knew that no one else liked him and only Xia Ji was willing to play with him.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, like a little golden retriever, Cheng Youyi gave in, "Forget it, forget it, I won't compete with you for Xia Ji, you can be in the same group with him!"
"Xia Ji!" The little yellow-haired boy held Xia Ji's hand and looked at him pitifully.
Xia Ji also softened her heart. Li Siya was pretty and very cute when she behaved well. "Okay, then I'll be in your group!"
"Great!" Li Siya jumped up excitedly.
Sicheng: "..." Childish!
But I don't know why I feel a little unhappy.
He thought that maybe this person was using him as a prop, and he didn't want to offend anyone by making a choice, so he just pointed at him randomly.
Cheng Youyi chose to be in a group with Guo Ziweng, and Sicheng could only be in a group with Sun Rui.
Sun Rui is a very gentle little boy. Although he doesn't like Si Cheng's cold face, he didn't say anything.
Ding Xue, who was sitting in the director's room, had been observing them. When she saw that Xia Ji finally chose Li Siya, she felt a little disappointed. This child has very strong social skills and can obviously help Si Cheng better integrate into the crowd.
Instead of being like this now, Sun Rui is too gentle, so gentle that he is a little dull. If Si Cheng doesn't speak, he won't take the initiative to talk, but will just talk to himself in a low voice.
The weather today is very pleasant. The sun is warm but not scorching, and sometimes hides under white clouds.
The garden is large, and there's a fantastical sculpture of a unicorn pulling a cart. Coincidentally, the three little girls were all wearing skirts, so they all ran to play with the unicorn.
Xia Tian and Li Siya walked along the white cobblestone path in the garden, actively searching everywhere. He liked the treasure hunt because he felt surprised and accomplished when he found the treasure he wanted.
Si Cheng was also near them, standing under a cluster of blooming rose vines, pretending to search.
Why is she so different from her last life? Rebirth wouldn't change her personality drastically, right? How can she act so childishly like an adult? Is she really just a child?
Sun Rui was searching everywhere behind him, and the two of them were looking for their own things.
Of course, he had no interest in this low-level treasure hunting game, and his eyes kept glancing at Xia Tian, who was excited or disappointed because of the search.
"There's another box here! Come and open it!" Xia Ji excitedly pulled aside a bush and shouted to Li Siya.
Li Siya ran over immediately, holding the key she had found earlier. Some boxes here can be opened directly, while others require a key.
The box was opened and found nothing inside.
Xia Tian threw away the box and sighed leisurely.
His expression is very contagious. When he is excited, it seems that the whole world is happy. When he sighs, it seems that the whole world is depressed again.
Li Siya quickly comforted him, "It's okay, we can just look for it again. What do you hope is in the card?"
He had no interest in toys, so he said, "Let's eat. I want to eat cake."
Seeing Si Cheng clutching the rose without moving, Sun Rui walked over curiously and asked, "Si Cheng, what are you looking at?"
Si Cheng immediately walked away, as if he hated people getting so close to him. "I didn't see anything. Did you find the box?"
"No." Sun Rui changed the subject without noticing.
"Then let's look for it quickly." Si Cheng kept glancing at Xia Ji while searching.
"Okay~" Sun Rui said happily.
"Ah! Found it!" Xia Ji finally found another locked box. Not long after, they found another box with a key.
The box was opened and inside was a card.
Xia Tian happily held up the card and shouted in the direction of the cameraman, "I found the card!"
Chen Cheng heard the sound and rushed over immediately, "Let the teacher see, what is it?"
With the same feeling as redeeming a prize, Xia Ji handed the card to Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng looked at the card, then glanced at the two little kids staring at her, and said, "These are two car model sets."
"Yeah!" Li Siya shouted happily and wanted to high-five Xia Ji.
Xia Ji raised his hand and hit him, the excitement on his face obviously faded, "A model."
"Yes, baby, because you are the first to find it, there is an extra reward, but it will not be revealed until everyone finds it." Chen Cheng said gently, her curly ponytails swaying with the tone of her voice.
At this moment, Si Cheng also found the box with the card, and Sun Rui immediately shouted, "Teacher! We found it too!"
"Your treasure is a strawberry cake." Chen Cheng took the card from Sun Rui and said.
"Strawberry cake?" Sun Rui turned to look at Xia Ji, "What's yours?"
Xia Tian shrugged, "I can give you a car model if you want it."
He doesn't want toys, he just wants to eat strawberry cake. It would be great if Sun Rui could remember to share some with him while eating the strawberry cake.
"Really?" Sun Rui asked in surprise.
Li Siya was a little unhappy. He didn't want Xia Ji to give things to others, but he didn't want to make Xia Ji unhappy because Xia Ji wanted to eat the cake.
"Of course it's true." Xia Tian said.
Li Siya quickly said, "Then you have to give the strawberry cake to Xia Ji!"
"Okay!" Sun Rui agreed immediately.
"But there is only one strawberry cake, Sun Rui, you get half of it, and the other half belongs to Si Cheng." Chen Cheng said.
Sun Rui was stunned, and Xia Ji also stared at Si Cheng closely.
Si Cheng said nonchalantly, "I don't eat cake."
Adults won't argue with children about this kind of thing.
"Then you don't want a model either?" Sun Rui asked.
"You take it." Si Cheng said.
Even after finding the treasure, his face remained calm.
Looking at the three people over there who were excited because they got what they wanted, it was like looking at three little idiots.
Ding Xue, who had been observing from behind the screen, thought that this was not okay. She recalled that Si Cheng often peeked at Xia Ji when he was treasure hunting just now. Was he like Li Siya before, wanting to play with Xia Ji but unable to speak up?
If that's the case, then she has to help her nephew.
