Shi Xi walked around the second floor for a while before returning to the Shi family home. Di Chenxiao reluctantly saw Shi Xi off and lingered at the entrance of the Shi family home for a while before going back.
Shi's mother was sitting in the living room watching TV when she saw Shi Xi return. "Xiao Xi, you're back."
"Mom." Shi Xi walked over and sat down next to her mother.
“Going out with your dad today wasn’t fun at all. And his photography skills are really terrible. After all these years, he still can’t learn to take pictures for me.”
Shi Xi: ......I've been fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
"Mom is beautiful, she looks good in every photo."
"Xiaoxi has such a sweet tongue. Mommy wants to sleep with you tonight."
Shi Xi: ? ? ?
What happened? Why did he suddenly want to be with her? She could picture her father's resentful gaze.
"Cough—, okay, I want to sleep with Mommy too."
The father was editing a photo he had taken of his wife earlier that day. After finishing the photo, he couldn't find his wife in the room. When he went downstairs, he heard his wife say that she didn't want him that night, but wanted their daughter.
"Wife, Momo, you can't be so cruel," Mr. Shi said pitifully.
"How old are you? You still need me to stay with you. I haven't slept with our daughter since she came home. I've never spent any time with her from when she was little until now. My heart aches for her—"
Father: "Okay, okay, you sleep with our precious daughter, I'll sleep by myself tonight."
"That's more like it." Her previously sad and upset face turned smug. "Xiao Xi, come on, let's go to sleep."
"Goodnight, Dad!" Shi Xi couldn't help but smile when she saw her father's aggrieved face.
"Goodnight, my darling daughter! Goodnight, my wife!"
Waaaaah—I want to cry. My wife doesn't want me, and neither does my daughter.
After returning to her room, Shi Xi took a shower and then lay down on the bed with her mother.
"Xiao Xi, are you with Xiao Chen?" Shi's mother asked slowly.
Shi Xi nodded. "How did Mom know?"
"Heh—, silly child, you're a piece of my flesh, how could I not know what you're thinking? You two must have confirmed your relationship while hiking, right?"
"Mom is amazing. I think you could be a detective; I guarantee you could solve those difficult cases very quickly."
She didn't say anything, but her mother knew everything.
Shi's mother affectionately pinched Shi Xi's nose, "Mom can't be a detective. Mom just wants to be your safe haven. Xiao Chen is a good boy, and Mom doesn't object to you two being together. However, you are still too young, and there are many things you can't do."
What can't she do? Mom has already agreed to her dating, so what else is forbidden? She's such a good girl, she wouldn't do anything else.
"I know."
Shi's mother's gossipy nature ignited instantly, "How exactly did you and Xiao Chen meet? What happened between you two?"
Seeing her mother so lively, Shi Xi chuckled and then told her mother about what had happened between her and Di Chenxiao.
Inside the house, Shi Xi kept talking, while outside, the bright moonlight shone on the earth, dispelling the darkness of the night.
"Alright, I've finished talking about what happened between Xiao Xiao and me." Shi Xi picked up the water on the table, took a few sips, and said she was a little thirsty after talking for so long.
After a long silence, Shi's mother smiled and said, "Xiao Chen must have been captivated by Xiao Xi's beauty. Then, after getting to know her, he was won over by her character and eventually fell in love with you."
"Hehe. Mom, it's late, I'm sleepy!"
"Go to sleep. Mom won't say anything anymore."
Shi Xi fell asleep quickly after lying in bed. Looking at Shi Xi's sleeping face through the moonlight, her mother frowned, filled with worry.
