Chapter 79 (Seventy-Nine Updates)
79:
Ye Qingxi had no idea what Qin Cheng was thinking. After hugging Qin Cheng for a while, he let go of him and asked if he wanted some water or chocolate.
After Qin Cheng finished drinking water and eating chocolate, Ye Qingxi returned to her class.
When Pei Liang saw him return, she asked with concern, "Where did you go? The teacher came by just now and found you were missing. She was asking about you."
Ye Qingxi looked at him, "What did you say?"
I told you you went to the toilet.
Ye Qingxi laughed, "My brother just ran the 100 meters, I went to cheer him on."
When he mentioned Qin Cheng, Pei Liang remembered what had happened that morning and asked him, "Why didn't your brother give Zhong Yan his water? Doesn't he like Zhong Yan?"
If it were anyone else, Pei Liang wouldn't have asked.
Qin Cheng went to Kuang Jie's class with them every Saturday, and they would chat and eat snacks together. It was not obvious that he had any dissatisfaction with Zhong Yan.
“He’s a germaphobe,” Ye Qingxi explained. “So he doesn’t like other people using his cup to drink water, and Zhong Yan didn’t bring her own cup at that time.”
Pei Liang nodded. "I see."
"Mm," Ye Qingxi said.
Pei Liang then let the matter drop.
Around five o'clock, the sports meet finally ended. The homeroom teacher gave them some instructions and then dismissed them to go home.
Ye Qingxi and Pei Liang left the school gate together, but as soon as he stepped out, he saw Mu Shaowu, whom he had told at noon to disguise himself properly.
Ye Qingxi almost burst out laughing.
Mu Shaowu was indeed very well disguised; if he hadn't been so observant, he almost wouldn't have recognized him.
He nudged his friends and asked, "Who's that person over there?"
Kang Cong was the first to look over, and asked in confusion, "Who is it? Do I know them?"
Zhong Yan was also a little confused. "I don't know him."
Only Pei Liang felt that Ye Qingxi's question meant they must know each other, and among the people they knew, someone of that build...
"Your father?" Pei Liang asked uncertainly.
The main problem is that this person is far too different from Mu Shaowu.
He was wearing a fisherman's hat, and underneath it were large black-rimmed glasses, obscuring his eyes, but that wasn't the point.
The key point is that he has a beard, even above his mouth.
Ye Qingxi looked at him and thought to herself that he was indeed a clever little guy who could do eighteen kinds of skills at the age of five. He could even guess this.
“That’s right.” Ye Qingxi nodded.
Pei Liang was shocked; it was actually true!
Kang Cong and Zhong Yan were even more shocked than he was. "You're talking nonsense. Your father doesn't look like that."
"Exactly! It's not like we haven't met your dad before!"
Ye Qingxi chuckled, "Then let's go take a look."
“I’ll go then.” Zhong Yan took the lead and walked over.
Mu Shaowu watched them head straight for him, finding it all quite strange.
He had already disguised himself very well, even changing his clothes—not the one he wore at noon—yet it seemed to have no trouble for Ye Qingxi at all.
He truly is a genius baby; he's amazing!
Mu Shaowu put his hands in his pockets, intending to see if Ye Qingxi truly recognized him or was simply walking in his direction.
Zhong Yan was the first to walk up to Mu Shaowu, looking up at him with her arms crossed.
Mu Shaowu ignored him, his eyes still fixed on the school, as if his child hadn't come out yet.
Zhong Yan frowned, feeling that he was even less like him.
He turned to look at Ye Qingxi, took two steps back, walked to Ye Qingxi's side, and asked him, "Is he really your father? He doesn't look like him to me."
“I don’t think so either,” Kang Cong said.
Ye Qingxi glanced at the two of them, let go of Pei Liang's hand, and walked up to Mu Shaowu.
“Dad,” he called out firmly.
Mu Shaowu lowered his head, feigning confusion, and said in a gruff voice, "Little friend, you've mistaken me for someone else."
Ye Qingxi: ...Well, well, we've even started acting together.
Ye Qingxi waved to him.
Mu Shaowu bent down and leaned closer to him, puzzled.
Ye Qingxi raised her hand and tugged at his beard. "Is this glued on well? If I tear it off now, will your face hurt, Dad?"
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu was amused by his mischievous appearance.
He picked Ye Qingxi up and said normally, "Of course it hurts, so please don't tear it."
Ye Qingxi nodded and withdrew her hand.
So, you've admitted it now?
“But you can pull it gently,” Mu Shaowu added. “Pulling it gently won’t hurt.”
Hearing him say that, Ye Qingxi became curious again and started to clench her fist.
Kang Cong and Zhong Yan were both stunned.
This really is Ye Qingxi's father!
But that's not the point. The point is...
“Uncle Mu, I want to do it too,” Kang Cong said.
Ever since he pulled his grandfather's beard so hard that it hurt, and his grandfather never let him pull it again, he hasn't pulled anyone else's beard in a long time.
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu: ...
What kind of hobbies are these?
Mu Shaowu turned to look at his precious son, "Should we let them drag him away?"
Ye Qingxi didn't expect him to ask her that question.
He looked at Mu Shaowu, whose face was covered with a beard, and then at Kang Cong, who was staring longingly at Mu Shaowu.
After agonizing for a long time, he was still worried that Kang Cong might hurt Mu Shaowu.
and……
Besides, Mu Shaowu isn't Kang Cong's father. Ye Qingxi thought, if Kang Cong wanted to blame someone, he could blame his own father.
He subtly tightened his arms and whispered in Mu Shaowu's ear, "Dad, tell him that you bought a pair for his dad and that he should go back and drag his dad away."
Mu Shaowu: !!!
Looking at his good son, Mu Shaowu thought he was a real little genius. How could his little head hold so many wonderful ideas?
"Do you want to pull my beard?" he asked Kang Cong.
Kang Cong nodded, "Mhm."
"Uncle will buy a pair for your dad later, and Xiaoxi will give them to you tomorrow. You can go back and have your dad put them on, and then you can pull them off however you like."
Kang Cong's eyes lit up. Great idea!
"Thank you, Uncle Mu."
"You are welcome."
To be a good Samaritan, Mu Shaowu went on to ask Pei Liang and Zhong Yan, "Do you two want it?"
Pei Liang: "...No need, thank you Uncle Mu."
He doesn't have such a boring hobby.
Zhong Yan also shook her head.
Men with beards are ugly. His mother is so beautiful, his father is not good enough for her because of his beard.
Zhong Yan couldn't accept that his beautiful and charming mother was sitting next to his father, who had grown a beard.
It's terrifying to think about.
“Uncle Mu, you look better without a beard,” Zhong Yan said sincerely.
Mu Shaowu laughed, "That's different. Uncle has a beard, that's cool."
Zhong Yan: ...
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi felt that her father probably had some misunderstanding about what "cool" meant.
He turned around and waved to Zhong Yan and the others, "See you tomorrow~"
"See you tomorrow," the three said in unison.
After saying goodbye to Mu Shaowu, they turned around and walked towards their car.
Qin Cheng only came out at this time. Mu Shaowu wanted to test him, but he found that he was holding Ye Qingxi. What was there to test?
Qin Cheng will definitely be able to guess it.
So he greeted Qin Cheng in a very open and natural manner.
Qin Cheng: ?
Qin Cheng was stunned. He hadn't seen his second uncle all afternoon, so what had happened to him?
Mu Shaowu laughed, "Uncle has something to do today, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
Qin Cheng nodded.
Qin Luan also walked to his side.
Mu Shaowu exchanged a few pleasantries with her, then carried Ye Qingxi away.
Even after sitting in the car, Ye Qingxi couldn't help but scrutinize his face.
"How about it? If I attend your parent-child sports day the day after tomorrow looking like this, I'm sure I won't be recognized."
Ye Qingxi nodded.
Mu Shaowu said smugly, "I told you I had a way."
Ye Qingxi smiled, thinking that he did indeed have a solution.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
If Mu Shaowu has something to do, then he won't be able to go with him to buy a photo frame.
"Didn't we agree at noon that we'd buy you a photo frame and album after school? Did you forget?"
Ye Qingxi was thinking about this.
"Then we can invite Brother Qin Cheng to come along."
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu turned his head and pinched his little face. "The reason I don't call you Brother Qin Cheng is because I want to be alone with you."
"I can only stay with you until the end of your parent-child sports day, which is only three days. You do the math, how much time do we actually have left alone together?"
Ye Qingxi: ...That's indeed not long.
“Right?” Mu Shaowu said, “So, let’s not let anyone else ruin our father-son time.”
Ye Qingxi didn't speak, but she nodded silently in her heart.
He lowered his head and said casually, "Dad, I told Uncle that I won't go to Brother Duan Yi's house with him for the next three days. He'll go to his tutoring class by himself."
It was a rare occasion for Mu Shaowu to return, and he wanted to spend more time with him.
Mu Shaowu didn't understand at first, and just said, "You should have done this a long time ago. He's all grown up now, not an eight-year-old child. Does he need you to accompany him? You're not his uncle."
After saying that, he went to fasten Ye Qingxi's seatbelt, but then suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, you used to go all the time, but you haven't gone for the past three days. Is it because of me? Because I'm back, and you want to stay with me?"
Mu Shaowu said happily, "Sure enough, baby, you love me more than your uncle."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi immediately bristled, "No, it's because of the sports meet, I was too tired from the sports meet."
"Admit it, baby, your face is all red."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi suddenly felt guilty; could she really have become famous?
He seemed stuck, unsure of what to say, only his beautiful eyes blinking awkwardly.
Mu Shaowu smiled and gently stroked his face. "I was just kidding. See? I told you you did it for me, but you wouldn't admit it."
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi never dreamed that he would be fooled by such a clumsy little trick.
He was furious and embarrassed, and snorted, his cheeks puffing out.
"Why aren't you driving yet? I'm starving."
Mu Shaowu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll drive. I'll drive right away."
"I'll take my baby out for a nice meal first, and then I'll buy a photo frame and album."
Ye Qingxi pouted: Who's your baby?!
He turned his head and looked out the window.
As I watched, I couldn't help but laugh again.
Mu Shaowu is back. When he was away, he was busy with school, Mu Shaoyan, and Mu Feng every day and didn't seem to think much about him. But now that he's sitting next to her, Ye Qingxi realizes that she actually misses him a lot.
He still hoped that Mu Shaowu could come back.
Come back and continue being his father.
"Dad," Ye Qingxi called out to him.
Mu Shaowu turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"
"I want to eat cake." Ye Qingxi looked out the window, not at him.
"Okay," Mu Shaowu agreed. "I'll buy you a small cake later, you can have it as dessert after dinner."
"What if I can't finish it?" Ye Qingxi rested her chin on her hand and tilted her head.
"Then Dad will eat it for you."
"Are you sure you can?" Ye Qingxi finally turned to look at him. "Are you still filming? Can we have some cake?"
Mu Shaowu said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll eat it secretly and won't tell anyone else."
Anyway, it's just a piece of cake, it won't make him gain weight instantly.
Looking at his slender figure, Ye Qingxi felt that there shouldn't be any problems.
"Then let's pick one that we both like."
"strawberry?"
"chocolate?"
The two spoke in unison.
Mu Shaowu smiled, "Then I'll have a strawberry chocolate one."
"Okay." Ye Qingxi smiled as well.
He sat in the car, his heart filled with joy.
Some are happy, some are sad.
Duan Yi opened the door and saw Mu Shaoyan outside. For a moment, he thought he was seeing things.
He glanced behind Mu Shaoyan and heard Mu Shaoyan say in a mournful tone, "No need to look, it's just me."
Duan Yi: ?
Duan Yi asked in confusion, "Where's Xiao Xi?"
Didn't we say before that even though there was a sports meet, we would still come on Monday and Tuesday, but not on Wednesday?
Why didn't you come today?
"Did he lose the relay?" Duan Yi guessed.
"We won, we won by a landslide, and now I can rightfully give him all the gifts I bought before."
"So he... ran too fast and got tired?"
"No, he's not that weak."
"Then..." Duan Yi asked, puzzled.
Mu Shaoyan snorted coldly, "Of course it's because my brother is back!"
Mu Shaoyan said with a mournful voice, "I told him he didn't need to come back, but he insisted on coming back. As a result, as soon as he came back, Xiao Xi went with him."
Upon hearing this, Duan Yi felt relieved.
He thought something had happened to Ye Qingxi.
It turns out it was just his dad who came back, so everything's fine now.
“That’s his father. He’s with his father. That’s normal.”
Mu Shaoyan knew this, of course, but he just couldn't bear to part with it.
“It’s not like he’s the only one who can be Xiaoxi’s dad. I can be Xiaoxi’s dad too.”
Duan Yi: ? ? ? !!!
Do you even know what you're saying?!
That's your own brother! Your own nephew! Your own sister-in-law!
You're absolutely insane!
Outrageous!
You're a school bully, not a thug!
