Ye Zhou placed an old photo album in front of the girl.
The girl blinked her eyes, which seemed to be filled with thirst for knowledge, and solemnly turned the page. Ye Zhou's parents were very commemorative and had been taking photos of him since he was very young. In the photos, Ye Zhou was chubby with big eyes and long eyelashes.
An Youhe smiled and poked the photo with her finger, as if she could touch the soft face of a little baby.
"My husband was so cute when he was little! Hehe."
Ye Zhou crossed her arms and said, "Could you please stop staring at a little kid like a female hooligan?"
An Youhe looked up, blinked, and smiled, "Ye Zhou is cute now too."
The girl raised her eyes and leaned in to kiss Ye Zhou's eyelashes. Ye Zhou was completely taken aback by the girl's bold move, and his heart skipped a beat.
Ye Zhou chuckled, then turned and pinned the girl beneath him: "Now, should I start telling you the standard script? Woman, are you playing with fire?"
An Youhe reached out and tickled the girl's body, laughing so hard she couldn't stand it anymore and quickly begged for mercy.
"Honey, be good, stop fooling around. Let's look at the photos together."
An Youhe continued flipping through the photos. Ye Zhou was behind her, resting his chin on the girl's shoulder, his arms around her waist, and his palms gently covering her slightly protruding belly.
"Do you know why I like candied hawthorns?" Ye Zhou asked in the girl's ear.
"Why?"
"When I was little, I met a girl who stood up for what was right. I bought a string of candied hawthorns, and several children surrounded me, trying to steal them from me."
Then a girl appeared and scared all the children away.
"How did she do that?"
"Because she has connections. Her father is Ultraman Seven, her mother is Ultraman Tiga, her uncle is Ultraman Zero, her second uncle is Ultraman Taro, her grandfather is Father of Ultra, and her grandmother is Mother of Ultra. She can summon helpers with just a shout."
"Hahaha, this girl is so funny. I didn't expect those kids to actually believe it."
“The children were too scared to come near us. If even one person had said they didn’t believe us, the lie would have been exposed. I offered to treat her to candied hawthorns, but she said we’d have them next time we met. We never saw each other again, and I don’t even know her name.”
"It is indeed a pity," An Youhe said with great regret.
"It's not a pity. It's good enough to meet some people. How can we ask for more? Okay, the story is over, and the photo album is over. Time to sleep."
Ye Zhou held the girl in his arms, and the two fell asleep in each other's embrace.
...
"Cousin!"
Ye Zhou opened the door, and the little girl with pigtails ran towards him.
"Little Peach? You've grown so tall now?"
Ye Zhou still remembers Xiao Taozi as the little girl with the watermelon-shaped haircut. It's been a few years, and children change so quickly.
"That's right, I'm in second grade now!" Little Peach said with a proud expression.
Ye Zhou ruffled the girl's hair. "Where's your mom?"
"Mom went out to run errands again and asked me to stay with you for the time being. I hope your wife won't be angry with me here, Uncle."
Ye Zhou frowned. "Where did you learn all these things?"
"Hehe, I knew my uncle loved me the most." Little Peach hugged Ye Zhou's leg.
"Didn't you call me Brother Ye Zhou before? Why are you calling me Uncle now?"
"Hehe, you've aged quite a bit in the past few years."
Ye Zhou turned to look at the young man with thick black hair in the mirror, "You little brat!"
Little Peach ran very fast.
"Sister, your husband is going to hit me, waaaaah!"
An Youhe came out of the room and was hugged by Xiao Taozi, while Ye Zhou stood helplessly in place.
"Sister, the baby says he's very happy and comfortable right now."
An Youhe asked with a smile, "Can you hear him?"
Little Peach nodded emphatically, "Sister, I want to eat an ice cream. I'll tell you what he said after I finish it."
Ye Zhou raised an eyebrow at the little charlatan and took an ice cream from the refrigerator for her.
Little Peach was content, lying on the sofa with her belly full of peace and joy.
"The baby says he likes his mom the most and doesn't like his dad."
As Little Peach spoke, she stuck her tongue out at Ye Zhou.
"Can you talk to the baby? Tell him that Daddy loves him too, and that Daddy works hard to earn money, so that he can like Daddy too, okay?"
Little Peach had no choice but to say, "Okay."
Then, she rubbed An Youhe's belly and mumbled a bunch of things that normal people couldn't understand.
Ye Zhou laughed. This little charlatan was rebellious and always went against him. Sure enough, children become less and less lovable as they grow up.
Ye Zhou got up to cook and busied himself in the kitchen.
It's good that An Youhe has a playmate, so she won't be bored.
"Honey, Mengting gave birth to twin daughters, they're both adorable."
An Youhe burst into the kitchen and said.
"So fast? We have to give them a big red envelope. The kitchen is a restricted area, no unauthorized personnel allowed."
Before leaving, An Youhe tiptoed and kissed Ye Zhou's chin, saying, "My dear husband, you've worked hard."
A little while later, Xiao Taozi barged in again. Ye Zhou glanced at her, ignored her, and went about his own business.
"Uncle, I think you're really handsome. The way you chop vegetables looks like you're wielding a sword. You're so cool!"
"You look so young, like, like a twelve-year-old."
Ye Zhou turned his head. "Is there something you need?"
"Uncle, are you still angry? I was just joking. How could someone as incredibly handsome as yours possibly look old? Could you go to the parent-teacher conference on Monday for my mom?"
"Tch, does your mom know about this?"
"Of course she doesn't know," Little Peach said guiltily, lowering her head.
"I'm not going."
"No, Uncle, I won't say bad things about you to the baby anymore, okay? I'll tell the baby you're the best dad in the world."
"You can fool my wife, but you can't fool me."
"I really can speak baby talk, although I haven't spoken it for several years. I'm a level 10 baby talk expert!"
...
"Little Peach, how can you be late for the parent-teacher meeting? Come here and stand on the podium as punishment. Are your parents here yet?"
The homeroom teacher was a strict young female teacher who dressed in a flamboyant manner.
Little Peach lowered her head, and then a tall figure appeared behind her.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I'm Xiaotao's parent. Something came up on the way and I was delayed," Ye Zhou said politely.
The female teacher stared at Ye Zhou and quickly said, "It's alright, it's alright. Since you're here, please come in and sit down."
Ye Zhou walked in, but Xiao Taozi was standing in front of the podium, her head bowed low.
The teacher patted Xiaotaozi on the shoulder, "Go back and sit down, what are you doing standing here?"
Little Peach slowly followed Ye Zhou and sat in the back row.
The little girl looked down, pretending to clasp her hands, and muttered, "She was staring at you so intently just now."
Ye Zhou looked down at his phone, scrolling through it. "What's on your head all day?"
"Uncle, you need to be careful. This teacher is an amateur, and he has a particular fondness for young and handsome dads."
