Shi Xi tilted her head to look at Di Chenxiao, feeling that there was something wrong with the way he was looking at her.
Shi's father and Chong En were drinking, but not much. Drinking inevitably involves conversation, and the person they were talking to was Shi Xi.
Chong En: "When Xiao Xi was little, she was very naughty. She climbed trees, got into fights, and skipped classes quite a lot."
Shi's father said, "She wasn't around when she was little, so I don't know how she was. But she skipped a lot of classes during her senior year of high school. However, she was able to get good results in the college entrance examination mainly because she was smart."
"Really? I was wondering why I often saw her getting into trouble; it turns out she likes to skip classes."
"Yes, once, Xiaoxi skipped class to go out and play. Later, her teacher called me and said blah blah blah..."
Shi's father and Chong En kept talking about Shi Xi's shameful deeds, which made Shi Xi a little irritable and want to hit someone.
She only skipped a few classes; most of the time she asked for leave!
"Xiao Xiao, I think they're just using me as a topic of conversation, it's infuriating!"
Di Chenxiao looked at Shi Xi, who was pretending to be angry, with amusement and said affectionately, "Baby, be good. We'll leave first and won't wait for them."
"good."
After having dinner with Di Chenxiao, Shi Xi returned to Xiyuan with Chong En.
Chongen asked in the car, "I heard you say you were going to leave secretly, so why are you waiting for me and coming back with me?"
Shi Xi took his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said, "I was just kidding. How could I leave Dad out alone? Of course we'd go home together."
"You!"
"Dad, you and I haven't met many times, how come you get along so well?"
Shi Xi was quite curious; the friendship between Chong En and Shi's father had developed too quickly.
Chong En laughed and said, "It's all because of you. We have common topics. He knows things I don't, and I know things he doesn't. It's much more interesting than when we talk about business."
"Is what you call interesting things just talking about my embarrassing moments?"
Shi Xi released Zhong En's arm and pretended to be angry.
Chong En also knew that Shi Xi wasn't really angry. "Xiao Xi, whether it's your dad or your father, we both feel sad and guilty for not being there for you all along. It's good to hear about your past from other people."
"Dad, don't say that. I don't blame you. I'm all grown up now, an adult. You've fulfilled your responsibilities and obligations in raising me, and no one has an obligation to stay with me as I grow up."
Shi Xi also understood that Chong En and Shi's parents must feel very guilty for not being able to watch their child grow up, experience the ups and downs with the child, and accompany the child through difficulties.
But she felt it was unnecessary. The child's path is one that she must walk herself, and the child must bear the storms and hardships along the way.
Chong En was very pleased to hear Shi Xi speak such mature and composed words. It seemed that his child had truly grown up.
"Xiao Xi".
"Dad."
Di Chenxiao glanced at the harmonious couple in the rearview mirror and then focused on driving.
Back at Xiyuan, Shi Xi talked with Chong En for a while before going to keep Di Chenxiao company.
Shi Xi lay lazily in Di Chenxiao's arms, nuzzling his head against him as she told him about Shi Hao and Shi Han's childhood, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy.
She said softly, "Xiaoxiao, I heard Mom talking about what my older brothers did when they were little, it was so funny! How about we have two kids in the future?"
