Ding-dong.
After the doorbell rang a few times, Ling Xiangxue's voice came from inside.
Who is it?
"I am Santa Claus."
"Oh, here it comes."
Ling Xiangxue ran to open the door and looked at Qin Bai with some surprise.
Didn't I just give you a gift last night? Why are you here again so soon?
Aren't you going to invite me in?
Ling Xiangxue covered her mouth and chuckled: "I think the same lines were said a few hours ago."
"Hehe, can we do the same thing? I'm doing it now..."
Ling Xiangxue quickly and shyly covered his mouth, glancing at the restaurant behind her.
Luckily, those two little guys didn't notice Qin Bai's arrival, otherwise they would definitely have run over.
"Mingyuan and Wensi are up too?"
"Yeah, they're probably too excited to sleep because it's almost Chinese New Year tomorrow."
Ling Xiangxue called out to the restaurant, "Your brother Qin Bai is here."
Wen Si ran over with a bowl in her hand: "Wow, Brother Qin Bai looks so handsome today!"
Qin Bai pinched her nose: "You're so good with words. Go eat, I'll take you out to play later."
Mingyuan looked at Ling Xiangxue, then at Qin Bai.
Before his younger sister could speak, he immediately said, "No need. We need to tidy up at home today. You take your older sister with you."
Mingyuan understands that couples don't go shopping with a third wheel.
Wensi immediately realized what she meant and nodded with a smile: "Yes, my brother and I are very busy today, so I'll have to trouble you, sister."
Her voice was full of joy, but her eyes held a complex mix of emotions.
Qin Bai squatted down in front of them and said with a smile, "I mainly wanted to take you guys out today. It's Chinese New Year, and that's when we buy new clothes and toys for the kids at home. If you don't go, who am I going to buy them for?"
Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Brother Qin Bai, Aunt Cheng and the others have already bought us lots and lots of clothes, so we don't need to buy any more. You should go shopping with your sister instead."
"It's different. Everyone should give gifts. Don't you like the ones I give?"
"like."
"That's right. Go eat quickly, then change your clothes. I'll wait for you."
The brother and sister looked at Ling Xiangxue, who smiled and nodded.
"Yay, time to go out and play!"
Wensi jumped up happily and ran back to the restaurant.
Ling Xiangxue watched their retreating figures and asked softly, "Are we really going to take them with us?"
"Yes, don't worry, I like them very much."
"Why?"
She never understood why Qin Bai was so kind to them, and so unguarded.
"Because it's like seeing my former self."
After Qin Bai finished speaking, he walked over with a smile: "Do you have any toys you want, or anything else you like? You can tell me..."
Ling Xiangxue watched the three figures disappear into the distance and smiled gently.
Half an hour later, the group entered the mall.
Looking at the crowd in front of her, Wen Sijing exclaimed in surprise, "There are so many people!"
Qin Bai hugged her tightly and said, "It's normal. Tomorrow is the New Year, and there will definitely be a lot of people coming to buy things. However, I know a place where there won't be too many people."
Seeing his mysterious look, Ling Xiangxue asked, "Where?"
You'll find out when you get there.
Upon reaching the top floor, the number of people gradually decreased.
"This is it." Qin Bai pointed to the arcade in front of him.
"Huh? Aren't we here to buy something?"
"No rush, let's have fun first."
Before Qin Bai arrived, he specifically checked the map and found a relatively remote shopping mall.
Today, most people come here to shop; very few bring their children to play video games.
Upon arriving at the front desk, Qin Bai scanned the QR code to buy coins.
They handed them two plastic buckets filled with game coins.
"Go have fun, try everything."
Wen Si stared at the colorful screen in front of her, her mouth agape in surprise.
She often heard her classmates talking about these things at school, but she didn't have the time or money to come here; just surviving had exhausted all her strength.
Mingyuan pulled her along and said, "Don't just stand there, let's go take a look."
The little boy had an innate talent for this and quickly adapted to the environment.
Racing, basketball, shooting games...
After trying a few, Mingyuan began to teach Wensi some key points.
Qin Bai and Ling Xiangxue followed behind them.
"How are their grades now? Do they need some private tutors?"
Ling Xiangxue shook her head: "They work very hard and their grades are all among the top. There's no need to go through all that trouble."
Qin Bai held her hand: "Don't worry about money, and don't feel pressured. Remember, what's mine is yours. Otherwise, who do you think I'm going to spend all that money I earn?"
Ling Xiangxue looked at the screen in front of her, the glaring light making her eyes sore.
"I know."
"After that year, I found some extracurricular classes for them to try. They don't need to achieve any results, as long as they like it. The pressure of studying will only increase in the future, and learning something they are interested in will relieve the pressure."
"Does this thing really work?"
"I recently watched some videos where experts said it works. Who knows? I should give it a try."
"Hmm?" Ling Xiangxue looked at him suspiciously: "Why would big data recommend these things to you? Did you search for...?"
"That's normal. You need to learn some knowledge about this first, otherwise how will you know what to pay attention to later?"
Ling Xiangxue blinked: "Isn't your progress bar a little too fast?"
"Is it fast? I feel it's alright."
"But...but, before that, we need to..."
Ling Xiangxue bit her lip and didn't say the rest of the sentence.
With her head down, her high heels gently pattered on the black and white tiles, and the corners of her mouth gradually curved upwards to a beautiful angle.
Has he already planned our lives to that extent?
Xiao Bai is so ahead of his time!
Even though they don't have children, they've already started thinking about education.
Qin Bai bent down and brought his head close to hers.
"Laugh if you want to, no one here will notice."
The sudden sound interrupted her reverie.
"Oh dear, I didn't want to laugh either."
Qin Bai pulled her into his arms and teased, "You didn't already think about where the child should go to school, did you?"
No, there isn't.
"Oh, I thought..."
"I was just thinking, whether it's a boy or a girl, it would be great if they were as smart as you. Maybe they could get into a good university. What do you think about sending them to the south or letting them stay in the north?"
"Um???"
Looking at her gentle face, Qin Bai was momentarily at a loss for words.
So she was thinking even further ahead than I was?
All right.
I feel like I've lost again.
