Chapter 81 (81st update)
Eighty-one:
"Oh, right, Xiaoxi, Aunt Duan asked me to bring you some red bean buns," Mu Shaoyan said, changing the subject.
"I'll thank her for you." This time, Mu Shaoyan's words were unambiguous.
"Thank you, Uncle." Ye Qingxi quickly handed him the candied hawthorn she had just taken out. "Uncle, you've worked hard. Please have some first."
Mu Shaoyan shook his head, "It's not hard work at all, baby. You can eat it yourself. If you like it, your uncle will buy it for you every day from now on."
Mu Shaowu: ...He's not dead yet!
He can buy it for his son himself!
He doesn't need to be so attentive!
Looking at him, Mu Shaowu felt that he was eyeing his son with a covetous gaze and coveted him greatly.
Seeing that Mu Shaoyan wasn't eating, Ye Qingxi turned to Mu Shaowu and asked, "Dad, are you going to eat?"
"Dad doesn't want to eat." Mu Shaowu patted his head. "You eat it yourself."
After saying that, he asked again, "What flavor of candied hawthorn do you like?"
Mu Shaoyan quickly stretched out his ears.
Ye Qingxi thought about it and realized that she seemed to like most of them.
"Any fruit will do."
He then asked Mu Shaoting, who was beside him, and Mu Feng, who had finally finished replying to the message and looked up. Seeing that neither of them was eating, he started eating by himself.
Ye Qingxi took a bite. The rock candy shell was crisp and sweet, encasing the sweet and sour hawthorn inside, making one want to take a second bite after the first.
tasty!
Ye Qingxi ate bite after bite, unable to stop.
After finishing the candied hawthorns, Mu Shaoting finally opened the cake he had ordered.
The cake wasn't big, but it was clearly custom-made. It had a long athletic track drawn on it, and on the track was a small chocolate figure dressed in the same color scheme as Ye Qingxi's clothes. He was holding a baton and running happily across the finish line. Next to it was written: "[Congratulations to the baby for winning the championship]".
Ye Qingxi laughed. This cake is so well-made that anyone who didn't know better would probably think it had won a city-level competition!
"How is it? Isn't it cute?" Mu Shaoting asked Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi nodded, "So cute."
Mu Shaoting thought so too.
"Baby, if you can't eat this, you can just eat the little person instead."
Considering that Ye Qingxi had just returned after dinner and had just eaten a string of candied hawthorns, Mu Shaoting said considerately.
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "I can eat it."
"Then baby, you cut the cake." Mu Shaoting handed him the cake knife.
Ye Qingxi first removed the chocolate figurine, then cut a small piece for each person, afraid that they wouldn't be able to finish it.
He ate the cake first. The cake was very soft, and the salted cream with Oreo filling wasn't too greasy. Paired with the sweet and sour fruit filling, Ye Qingxi finished a small piece on the plate without any burden, and even had room to eat the chocolate figurine.
Seeing that he had finished the chocolate figurine, Mu Shaowu didn't let him eat any more cake, fearing that he wouldn't be able to digest it.
He touched Ye Qingxi's belly, then hugged him and massaged it.
Ye Qingxi: ?
Ye Qingxi looked at him and thought to herself, "His stomach doesn't hurt, so why is he suddenly rubbing it?"
However, Mu Shaowu's massage was quite comfortable, so Ye Qingxi didn't say anything and sat on his lap, leaning against him as he massaged her.
Mu Shaoyan had been so upset after school that he hadn't eaten dinner because Ye Qingxi hadn't come that evening. Seeing that everyone had only eaten one piece and then stopped eating, he said, "Then I'll eat the rest?"
After he finished speaking, he specifically asked Ye Qingxi, "Xiaoxi, do you still want to eat? Should I save you a piece for tomorrow's breakfast?"
Mu Shaowu didn't want Ye Qingxi to eat the cake that had been sitting overnight, so he spoke up before Ye Qingxi could, "You can eat it all. I'm treating Xiao Cheng to dinner tomorrow night, so I'll buy him another one."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi nodded.
"Shaoting, order a cake for me." Mu Shaowu looked at his sister, "Order something similar to this, and have her make two little figures of it."
"Okay," Mu Shaoting replied.
After Mu Shaowu finished speaking, he looked down at Ye Qingxi and said, "Let's go to the restaurant where we ate today."
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
"Now let me interview our little Ye Qingxi," Mu Shaoting said, making a fist with his right hand and bringing it close to Ye Qingxi's mouth, "Little Xi, are you happy today?"
Ye Qingxi was too embarrassed to say he was happy, even though he really was.
I'm so happy that Pei Liang and the others got first place.
Mu Shaowu was very happy to buy him a cute photo frame and album.
When he got home, he found everyone waiting for him and wanting to celebrate with him, which made him very happy.
But he was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he turned his head and buried his face in Mu Shaowu's arms.
Mu Shaoting teased him, "Oh dear, someone's shy."
"Who's shy? I'm not!" Ye Qingxi blushed, admitting her mistake without being asked.
Mu Shaowu and Mu Shaoyan burst into laughter.
Mu Feng also revealed a faint smile.
For a moment, the living room was filled with joy and happiness.
On the second day of the sports meet, Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng didn't sign up for any events, and neither did Pei Liang and the others.
Zhong Yan brought over a backpack full of cookies and yogurt, and the four of them sat in the class line, eating cookies, drinking yogurt, and chatting.
When Qin Cheng came over, Zhong Yan generously shared some cookies with him, turning the four-person discussion group into a five-person discussion group—although Qin Cheng didn't say much from beginning to end.
As the sports meet was drawing to a close, Kang Cong asked, "Who from your family is coming to the parent-child sports meet tomorrow?"
“My parents,” Zhong Yan said.
“My dad,” Pei Liang said. “And you?”
“My mom and dad are abroad and can’t come back,” Kang Cong pouted.
After saying that, the group looked at Ye Qingxi, "Xiaoxi, what about you?"
Ye Qingxi: ...Then I have way more people on my side than you do.
"My dad, my aunt, my uncle, my eldest uncle, my aunt, my grandfather, and..."
Qin Cheng spoke, "Me."
Pei Liang: !!!
Zhong Yan: !!!
Kang Cong: !!!
"So many people!"
"No, can my brother do it too?"
"Yes, it's possible," Qin Cheng said confidently.
There was an older brother from their class who came to participate before—although, the other brother was already nineteen years old and 1.8 meters tall.
But we're all brothers.
"Why is your grandfather here too?" Pei Liang asked, puzzled. "What project is he participating in?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "My grandfather isn't participating in anything."
He just felt that since everyone else was there, it wouldn't be right for his grandfather not to come.
It was like a family activity, but his grandfather wasn't included, so he asked Mu Feng to come too.
“He can watch my matches,” Ye Qingxi said.
Pei Liang/Zhong Yan/Kang Cong: Oh, right!
The children nodded silently, and after returning home, they began to call for help.
"So many people came to Xiaoxi's house, so many, so many! Grandpa, I can't lose!" Kang Cong shook his grandfather's hand.
Grandpa Kang: ...Now you know you can't lose?
How come you don't know about my studies?!
However, Grandpa Kang still made a phone call to his other children, asking them to come over.
So, when Ye Qingxi met her friends at school the next day, she discovered that, wow, the three people who said yesterday that only her father, her mother, and her parents would come had suddenly become a family alliance.
Ye Qingxi: ...What an indomitable Chinese kid!
Ye Qingxi and his family alliance caused quite a stir as soon as they appeared on the playground.
The reason is simple: the man and woman are both very handsome and beautiful, with exceptionally high looks.
The children in the class looked left at Mu Shaoyan, right at Mu Shaoting, and then at Mu Zheng and Qin Luan. No matter how they looked at it, they felt that Ye Qingxi was too happy.
"Ye Qingxi, are those your parents?" The sports committee member ran up to him, chatted with him for a few words, and then couldn't help but point at Mu Zheng and Qin Luan and ask.
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "They are my uncle and aunt."
Sports Committee Member: ?
"So he's your dad?" The sports committee member pointed at Mu Shaoyan. "Your dad looks really young, about the same age as my cousin."
Ye Qingxi: ...Is it possible that he is indeed very young?
Ye Qingxi smiled, "No, this is my uncle."
Sports Committee Member: ??
"Then she must be your mother, right?" The sports committee member looked at Mu Shaoting. "Your mother is so beautiful."
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi: "That's my aunt."
Sports Committee Member: ? ? ?
The sports committee member tremblingly shifted his gaze to Mu Feng, "That...that's your father?"
He nodded. "He's handsome too! But he's not that young, and he looks really fierce. Will he be fierce towards you?"
Moreover, he seems older than Ye Qingxi's uncle? Is he just older-looking?
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "No, my grandfather is actually quite gentle."
"Grandpa...Grandpa?!" The sports committee member exclaimed in shock. "Where are your parents? Didn't either of them come?"
Ye Qingxi raised her hand and pointed to Mu Shaowu, who was not far away, wearing a trench coat, a fisherman's hat, black glasses that completely covered his eyes, and a beard around his face.
That's my dad.
Sports Committee Member: !!!
Sports Committee Member: ...
The sports committee member remained silent for a long time before finally looking at Ye Qingxi with pity.
Why him of all people?
He didn't even connect the other person with Ye Qingxi.
After all, Ye Qingxi is so beautiful, and everyone else in her family is just as good-looking, so how come her father is...?
He's not ugly, just very ordinary. No matter how you look at it, he shouldn't be Ye Qingxi's father.
"Your mother must be very beautiful," the sports committee member remarked.
Ye Qingxi dug through the original owner's memories and found that the little "Ye Qingxi" seemed to have really forgotten his mother and could no longer remember what she looked like.
So he replied, "My dad is handsome too."
Sports Committee Member: ???!!!
Sports Committee Member: ...
The sports committee member just thought he really loved his father.
He wouldn't have said such a thing.
So when the sports committee member passed by Mu Shaowu, he couldn't help but steal a glance, then another, then another, then another.
No matter how you look at it, you'd want to find Ye Qingxi a more suitable and handsome father.
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu felt a little puzzled as he noticed the child beside him pretending not to see what was going on.
What's going on?
He probably won't recognize me!
Mu Shaowu immediately became alert. After all, he was so popular that his fans ranged from 99-year-olds to toddlers. It was normal for a six-year-old boy to be his fan!
As Mu Shaowu was thinking this, he felt the other person look at him again, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Oh my god, did he really recognize me?
Mu Shaowu thought for a moment, and when the other person secretly glanced at him again, he turned around and walked away.
He looked at the child, who was clearly surprised and taken aback by his approach.
"Is there something you want to say to me?" Mu Shaowu asked tentatively.
The sports committee member was silent for two seconds, then thought that since he had come all this way, he might as well say something.
He sighed and said earnestly, "Ye Qingxi's father, you must treat Ye Qingxi well."
Mu Shaowu: Huh?
This isn't what he expected!
"Although you are not as good-looking as your father, your sister, your brother, your brother..."
Mu Shaowu: ...These are truly rare and unusual words.
"But Ye Qingxi thinks you are very handsome. He must think so because he loves you, so you must love him well too."
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu never expected his "but" to be like this.
Do they think his baby is handsome?
Mu Shaowu was instantly delighted.
"He told you that?"
The sports committee member sighed again, "Hmm."
Look, even his dad can't believe he's handsome, right?
Ye Qingxi dared to do it.
This is clearly a case of being blinded by love.
Mu Shaowu smiled as he looked at his child's sorrowful, helpless yet hopeful expression, and thought that his child's classmate was truly innocent and kind.
"Don't worry, I will definitely love him well," Mu Shaowu said softly. "I will never let him suffer any injustice."
