Therefore, when the fireworks ended, he remained far from being satisfied!
“Are there more?” He looked at his father in antic.i.p.ation, the expectation in his eyes obvious
“There are.” Mu Yazhe added, “But they’re in the villa’s warehouse. Would you like to go get them with me?”
“Of course!” Baby Chu mustered his courage and asked, “Can I light the fireworks myself?”
“No way!” Mu Yazhe rejected the idea immediately.
!!
Baby Chu immediately looked crestfallen. “Why?”
“Because, you’re still too young.” The man reasoned with the boy.
When Baby Chu heard this, he was even more disappointed. He said indignantly, “I’m not young anymore! I’ve grown up!”
“Hahaha!” Mu Yazhe chuckled at that and asked the boy, “How old are you?”
“I…” Baby Chu didn’t know how old he was, but he solemnly counted with his fingers.
Gu Jinglian stood there, fuming at his son’s “promising” appearance. “Haven’t I taught you how to count?”
“Yes but…” Baby Chu scratched the back of his head sheepishly and looked rather helpless. “I’ve forgotten how old I am myself…”
“Hahaha!” Little Yichen couldn’t help laughing at that too.
Thinking that he was mocking him, Baby Chu dodged angrily. “Stop laughing!”
Mu Yazhe chimed in. “You have the nerve to laugh. When you were this age, you couldn’t even get your basic arithmetic right.”
Seeing that his father was undermining him, Little Yichen stopped laughing. He grinned awkwardly and turned his head away, pretending to play dead.
His real father?! Was this his real father?! Was there a father who would undermine his own son like this?
Little Yichen was displeased. He stood sullenly to the side, glowering at his father with a most resentful expression.
Mu Yazhe didn’t bother with him, but said, “I’ll go get a few more boxes of fireworks. Just wait here.”
“Alright…”
The man returned to the warehouse and returned with a few more boxes of fireworks. This time, Little Yichen said he was going to set them off. Mu Yazhe was completely at ease with that, so he handed him the cigarette b.u.t.t and led Baby Chu away by his hand.
However, Baby Chu wasn’t happy about this. He pouted a little reluctantly. “Why can he light the fireworks but I can’t?”
“Uh…” Little Yichen laughed. “I’m older than you, so I can set off fireworks.”
After hearing what he said, Baby Chu suddenly had an inexplicable yearning to grow up. “It’s so good to be grown up and able to light fireworks. I want to grow up quickly too!”
Beside him, a certain man who had already “grown up” said faintly, “When you grow up, you’ll feel that you were happiest when you were young.”
Baby Chu looked at the speaker, Mu Yazhe, who was sighing with emotion, and corrected him seriously, “I don’t think you’re a grown up…”
“Oh? What’s that?”
“You’re an elderly.”
The man’s face went rigid and slightly ashen.
“Hahahaha!” Little Yichen burst out laughing at that.
“Daddy, he said you’re old!”
Mu Yazhe grunted but did not deny it. “I’m old indeed.” He was not an immortal. Growing old was inevitable.
“Move aside!” Little Yichen warned Baby Chu, “I’m about to set off the fireworks. Stay away!”
“Oh, oh…” As he stepped back, Baby Chu looked at him with envy and admiration, thinking that when he grew up, he could also set off fireworks as coolly as Little Yichen! How great that would be! If only he could grow up faster!
