Chapter 226 (Updated 2261)
226:
It wasn't until 10 p.m., when the children were getting sleepy, that everyone got up and prepared to leave.
Zhong Yan waved goodbye to Ye Qingxi, "I'm going back now, I'll come visit you another day."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
Pei Liang reminded him, "Remember to do your summer homework."
Ye Qingxi: ...As expected of you, the King of Scrolls!
"I've finished writing."
Kang Cong: !!!
How did he finish writing all of that?!
He hasn't written a single word yet!
Kang Cong suddenly felt unhappy.
Qin Cheng and his family are not planning to leave tonight, but Qin Yuan will still have to leave.
Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng's family went out together to see him off.
"I've already put the gift your Uncle Qiu gave you in your big gift box. You didn't invite him, and he knows you were afraid of being awkward, so he didn't feel comfortable coming over. But he wished you a happy sixth birthday," Qin Yuan whispered in his ear.
Ye Qingxi was somewhat surprised to hear this.
He didn't invite Qiu Yue because Qiu Yue's identity was somewhat awkward.
Although he no longer lives with his parents and only sees them during holidays, he is still surnamed Qiu, and he was afraid that his grandfather would be unhappy if he saw him, so he did not send him an invitation.
Unexpectedly, he even asked Qin Yuan to deliver a gift to him.
"Then, Uncle, please thank Uncle Qiu for me," Ye Qingxi said.
"Okay." Qin Yuan smiled and patted his hair.
"Alright, you guys go back now, I'm leaving." He looked up and said to Qin Luan and the others.
"Goodbye, Uncle," Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng called out together.
Qin Luan also reminded him, "Drive slowly and carefully on the road."
"Okay," Qin Yuan said with a smile.
After seeing Qin Yuan off, Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng's family returned to the villa.
Mu Shaowu pulled Ye Qingxi back to the room to unpack the gifts, exclaiming "Wow!" as he did so, "This is nice!" "This is nice too!"
Ye Qingxi sweetly replied, "Dad, if you like them, you can have them all."
"No way, these were all given to you by your Grandpa Pei and the others, so they naturally belong to you. I'll have them give you more for my birthday later~"
Ye Qingxi smiled and thought to himself that if there was any left over after buying the jade thumb ring, he would buy a gift for his father as well.
After most of the gifts had been unwrapped, and it was late at night, Mu Shaowu urged Ye Qingxi to take a bath and go to bed.
Ye Qingxi shook her head. "Not now. I need to do something first."
"What's up?"
Ye Qingxi leaned closer to him and whispered, "Make sure Grandpa goes to bed early."
Mu Shaowu: Huh?
"Dad, you go ahead and wash up. I'll be right back."
After Ye Qingxi finished speaking, she stood up, went out the door, and ran downstairs.
Mu Shaowu: ...
Alright, if there's anyone in their family who can persuade his dad to go to bed early, it can only be his dear son, his dad's most beloved grandson.
Mu Feng was currently in his study looking at documents. After all, the group wouldn't stop operating just because Ye Qingxi was having a birthday party, and the company's affairs wouldn't suddenly disappear just because he was busy celebrating his grandson's birthday.
As he was looking, the door was pushed open.
Mu Feng looked up and saw Ye Qingxi quietly walk in.
"Why are you here?" Mu Feng asked, puzzled. "It's so late, aren't you going to sleep?"
"I've come to ask Grandpa to grant me my birthday wish," Ye Qingxi said.
Upon hearing this, Mu Feng immediately became curious, "What wish?"
"Can any wish be granted?" Ye Qingxi asked softly.
Mu Feng nodded, "Of course."
"Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi immediately clenched her left fist and wrapped her right hand around her left.
He closed his eyes, placed his hands under his chin, and said devoutly, "I hope Grandpa can go to bed before eleven o'clock every night, go to bed early and get up early, instead of going to bed late and getting up early, so he can live to be a hundred years old and stay with me forever~"
After making her wish, Ye Qingxi opened her eyes, her clear, bright eyes sparkling. "Can it come true?"
Mu Feng: ...
This was Ye Qingxi's birthday wish, something Mu Feng had never imagined.
It was something he had never experienced before.
Even Mu Shaoting, the most adorable and sweetest girl in the family, never looked at him with such anticipation or made such a wish with him.
Mu Feng looked into his clear, bright eyes, which were filled with the innocence and naivety of a child.
In that instant, I couldn't bring myself to refuse.
Today is Ye Qingxi's birthday, his first birthday at the Mu family.
He deserves to have whatever he wants.
“Okay,” Mu Feng replied.
Ye Qingxi smiled happily, "Then Grandpa, you have to keep your word and don't lie to me!"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Mu Feng asked him.
"No, not at all," Ye Qingxi shook her head.
He smiled as he looked at the person in front of him, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
"Grandpa, you should go to sleep now," Ye Qingxi reminded him.
Mu Feng: ...
Helpless, Mu Feng could only close his laptop.
Just as he closed the computer, Mu Feng suddenly thought about some things that had happened before.
“You used to ask me to tell you a bedtime story every 11 o’clock. Sometimes your aunt would tell you one, but you would still ask me to tell you another one. Is that why?”
Although it was a question, he used an affirmative tone.
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "It's because Grandpa tells such wonderful bedtime stories, I love them~"
Mu Fengcai didn't believe it.
Does he not know whether his words are pleasant or not?
This is not his area of expertise at all.
His little grandson is always good at sweet-talking and flattering people.
Mu Feng looked at him and couldn't help but show a hint of tenderness. He really was a quirky and clever guy.
He stood up, walked up to Ye Qingxi, took his hand, and led him out.
Mu Feng escorted Ye Qingxi to the top of the stairs and said to him, "Go upstairs."
Ye Qingxi nodded and waved, "Goodnight, Grandpa."
"Good night," Mu Feng said gently.
Mu Shaowu didn't have to wait long before he saw his son return with a smile on his face.
Is this... a success?
"Did your grandfather go to sleep?" Mu Shaowu asked him.
Ye Qingxi nodded.
He said happily, "Grandpa promised me that he will go to bed before eleven o'clock every day from now on."
Incredible! Mu Shaowu asked curiously, "How did you do that?"
"I just made a wish with him," Ye Qingxi said.
Some wishes in this world need divine intervention, while others can only be fulfilled by specific people.
Ye Qingxi knew very well how much Mu Feng loved him, and he also knew that Mu Feng, like Mu Shaowu, wanted him to have a happy birthday. So on this day, he would not refuse him anything.
Looking at him, Mu Shaowu thought he was truly intelligent.
How could you even think of that!
"Is there anything you want to wish for your father?" Mu Shaowu asked him.
Ye Qingxi thought about it and realized there really wasn't one.
He really hoped his father's acting skills would improve, and it would be best if he won an award, but that was clearly something his father couldn't do, so it was a wish he had to make to God.
Then...
"I hope Dad will always be happy, healthy, and safe," Ye Qingxi said sincerely, closing her eyes.
Mu Shaowu's heart melted as he listened.
After Ye Qingxi opened his eyes, he picked him up and kissed him hard on the face several times. "No problem, Daddy promises you."
Ye Qingxi's smile returned.
Mu Shaowu nuzzled his forehead before carrying him towards the bathroom, saying, "Let's go take a shower~"
After taking a shower, Mu Shaowu posted a Weibo message: "[Six years old! I hope Xiaoxi's life will be smooth sailing and full of happiness from now on~]"
The accompanying picture is of Ye Qingxi making a wish with her eyes closed.
Soon, netizens flocked to send their warm wishes:
【Happy birthday! 】
The baby will definitely be happy!
【Ahhhhh, Xiaoxi and I share the same birthday!】
[Little Xi looks so cute with her eyes closed!]
[Great picture, saved! Wishing the baby health and well-being forever!]
After celebrating her birthday at home, Ye Qingxi had a small birthday celebration with Duan Yi and Mu Shaoyan.
Afterwards, he celebrated a small birthday with Li Jing and Mu Shaoting.
When Mu Shaoting heard that Li Jing wanted to celebrate Ye Qingxi's birthday alone with her, she was puzzled for a while. "Then why didn't you come on Xiaoxi's birthday? You know my family, don't you?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
He asked that question as well.
Li Jing's reply at the time was: "We know each other, but it's still a bit awkward, especially since your grandfather is here."
When Ye Qingxi heard him say, "Your grandfather is here too," what else was there that she didn't understand?
That's true. It's obvious that his Uncle Li's feelings for his aunt weren't just simple friendship. It would have been fine if his grandfather wasn't around, but even when his grandfather was, wouldn't his grandfather have noticed?
Once this is realized, it means that his Uncle Li is basically doomed.
You know, his grandfather only had this one daughter, so he would have to go through a rigorous selection process, and who knows if he could have chosen his Uncle Li?
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxi couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Good luck, Uncle Li.
Therefore, Ye Qingxi agreed to celebrate Li Jing's birthday again after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ye Qingxi agreed, so Mu Shaoting agreed as well. What else could they do? They couldn't very well let Ye Qingxi go and celebrate Li Jing's birthday alone, could they?
He definitely needs an adult to accompany him!
Of the entire Mu family, she is the only suitable candidate.
After Li Jing's belated birthday celebration ended, Elder Kang gathered all his disciples and his wife to celebrate his youngest disciple's first birthday since becoming his disciple.
This was the first time that Mr. Kang and Mrs. Kang had organized a birthday party for such a young child. They were quite clueless and asked many people about the child's preferences. As a result, Mr. Kang's son received one concerned phone call after another, asking him when he had a child and why he hadn't told them.
Kang Lao's son: ? ? ?
No, when did he have a child?
How could he not know?
In the end, with the help of his disciples, Mr. Kang and Mrs. Kang successfully held this birthday banquet.
Grandpa Kang was very happy and held Ye Qingxi's little hand, saying, "This is the first year, and it's Grandpa's first time doing this. Wait until next year, and Grandpa will definitely do a much better job next year."
Mrs. Kang smiled and chimed in, "That's right. By next year, I'll definitely have learned how to make this cake, and then Grandma will make you a little leaf-shaped cake."
Ye Qingxi smiled and nodded, letting them say, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma."
The elderly couple smiled even more broadly.
After eating the cake and celebrating her birthday with her senior brothers, sisters, and teachers, Ye Qingxi's first birthday after transmigrating finally came to an end.
This isn't actually Ye Qingxi's real birth date, but he prefers his current birthday to his actual birthday.
August 15th, the fifteenth of August in the Gregorian calendar, is not a day for the whole nation to reunite, but a small reunion that belongs only to him.
There is no better day than this.
