Chapter 488 Little Chichi, A Fine Poem
"Stop! Don't sing!" Wen Sichen realized that this little girl was deliberately teasing him. He glared at her and said, "Little girl, you made up this song yourself, didn't you?! I've never heard it before!"
Kong Ran looked completely innocent: "Uncle Si Chen, aren't you supposed to be a 5G surfer? Are you sure you haven't heard this song? It's an advertising jingle that's really popular in Taiwan. This hot song is for you, so hot! It's all my love for you!"
Wen Sichen: "..."
That's true love, a deep maternal love!
He gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "You sang very well, but don't sing again next time. I'm really hopeless. Thank you and your whole family!"
Kong slowly walked out: "Uncle, don't be angry. Life is like a play. If you get sick from anger, no one can take your place. In this situation, I would like to recite a poem for you to express my feelings."
"Wow, you're quite cultured, kid!" Wen Sichen praised him, but remembering his previous experience, he was still a little apprehensive and asked, "Are you sure it's a good poem?"
"Of course, Uncle, just listen to me!"
Kong Chi stopped, looking like a little poet, and began to recite.
"The fragrance of plum blossoms lingers in the shadows (I'm not well-educated)."
"I am very stupid."
"From afar, I hear of him lying like water (asking who I am)."
"Easy to penetrate spring green (a big idiot)!"
After reciting the poem, he looked at Wen Sichen and said, "Uncle, I wrote this poem down during the break just now. You can give me some pointers."
Kong Chi handed over the note in his hand. Wen Sichen couldn't understand it at all, but he was proud and didn't want to expose his cultural inferiority complex in front of the three little ones.
He pretended to read it aloud, nodding repeatedly and saying, "What a fine poem! What a fine poem! Especially the last two lines, 'From afar, it seems to lie like water, easily penetrating the verdant spring,' which are truly the finishing touch!"
He patted Kong Chi's head: "Young man, you have a bright future, you're very classy!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to Kong Ran and Murong Chen and said, "You two, listen to this! This is what you call a real performance. So eloquent, so well written. You should learn from Xiao Chi!"
"Yes, yes, Uncle is right. Could you please read the poem again? We didn't hear it clearly."
Wen Sichen cleared his throat and read it again in a serious tone.
Kong Ran and Murong Chen were struggling to suppress their laughter.
Murong Chen: "Hahaha, the poem is good, but my little uncle reads it even better!"
Kong Ran: "No problem, mmm, a good donkey! Oh, no, no, a good poem, haha."
Wen Sichen looked bewildered and said speechlessly, "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. I won't make things difficult for you three since you performed the show so earnestly."
"So, Uncle has forgiven us?" Kong Ran's big eyes blinked.
Wen Sichen coughed lightly: "Otherwise what? Do you really want to lock you up here? Even if you're willing, I'm not. Locking you up means I have to feed you and waste my family's rice!"
"Wait here." Wen Sichen had been mischievous since childhood and was used to climbing trees and stealing birds. With a running start, he easily climbed up the courtyard wall.
Not long after, he found the key, unlocked the gate, and shouted, "Come out!"
But after waiting for a while, he still didn't see the three little ones, so he had to go into the yard to look for them.
He was stunned by the sight before him as soon as he stepped into the courtyard. Kong Ran and Murong Chen had climbed up a persimmon tree and were picking persimmons, while Kong Chi was catching them below.
When he came in, several people greeted him with smiles: "Uncle, do you mind if we pick a few persimmons from your garden? My mommy likes them."
Wen Sichen's face darkened: "You two are really bold, get down here right now!"
Kong Ran pouted and said, "Uncle, haven't you heard the saying, 'It's easy to climb up a tree, but hard to get down'? You have no sense at all! Come and help us!"
Wen Sichen walked over with a dark face and said speechlessly, "It's a miracle that the three of you have grown up. Jump down, I'll catch you one by one!"
"Are you sure you can do it?" Murong Chen glanced down, a little worried, and hesitated before saying, "Ran-jie, why don't you jump first?"
Kong Ran: "...No, you're the younger brother, you should go first."
Murong Chen's face turned pale, and he shook his head: "Sister Ran, ladies first."
Kong Ran: "Brother Chen, what a gentlemanly demeanor."
After a struggle between the two, Kong Chi, standing under the tree, sighed helplessly: "Ran-jie, Xiao Chi, a broken leg is nothing more than a small scar. Life is short; it'll be over in the blink of an eye. Be brave, and don't let outsiders laugh at our Murong family."
Kong Ran and Murong Chen said in unison, "It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. I asked you to climb the tree earlier, why didn't you?"
Kong Chi blushed and fell silent.
Wen Sichen gradually grew impatient and urged, "Are you still looking for your mother? If you keep dawdling, it'll be too late."
Mentioning Kong Wange, the two little ones finally mustered up some courage. They were there to celebrate with their mother, and they couldn't miss the auspicious time.
"I'm here." Murong Chen closed his eyes and jumped down. In fact, he was only a little over a meter off the ground, and Wen Sichen caught him without any effort.
He looked up at Kong Ran: "Little girl, it's your turn."
Kong Ran gripped the tree trunk tightly: "I... I think I'll just live in the tree, then you don't need to worry about me."
Wen Sichen chuckled: "Oh ho, is the little heroine scared?"
Kong Ran couldn't stand hearing such words of fear and immediately objected: "Who do you think you are? I'll jump, you catch me!"
The next second, she imitated Murong Chen, closed her eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and jumped off.
In about a second or two, she landed in the arms of a clean-cut, red-haired boy.
Wen Sichen took a step back, grunted, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Little girl, what did you eat to grow up like this? You're so much heavier than your brother."
Kong Ran's nose was still filled with the pleasant minty scent of Wen Sichen. She was a little dazed, but when she heard him ask that question, she immediately became unhappy and jumped off Wen Sichen's arms: "Nonsense, I've lived longer than him, of course I'm heavier than him!"
Wen Sichen jokingly remarked, "Oh, ugly people live long."
Murong Chen subconsciously chimed in, "Handsome, and lovable!"
The three children then stood together and pointed at Wen Sichen, saying, "It's a pity you're an ugly monster, ignorant and wicked!"
Wen Sichen shook his head with a puzzled look, feigning anger, and said, "So you're just trying to get rid of me after you've served your purpose?!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Kong Ran and said, "Little girl, you really know how to make excuses for yourself. Aren't you triplets? How much longer can you outlive him?"
Kong Ran sighed, "Mommy and Daddy have reconciled, so I don't need to lie to you anymore. We're not triplets, you know. I'm the older sister, a year older than them. Xiao Chichi and Xiao Chenchen were born together!"
"I see!" Wen Sichen frowned and approached the three little ones, asking, "You three brats are really good at lying. Tell me honestly, is there anything else you're hiding from me?"
