Chapter 2118: You Are My Son (2)
After walking for a long distance, the father and son got into the car.
Mu Yuchen drove smoothly while Mu Zicheng sat in the pa.s.senger seat.
“Father, don’t tell Mother about this when we get back, right? You know how my mother likes to let her imagination run wild.”
Mu Zicheng rubbed his knees as he said this.
“Isn’t it too late to worry now?”
Mu Yuchen glanced at him. “Don’t go to the arcade anymore. That place is so messy. You didn’t bring anyone with you, if anything happens, I can’t protect you either. The martial arts teacher that we hired before said that your homework is fine. Could it be that he’s just brus.h.i.+ng me off?”
“No, Father, it’s not about the teacher. If I hadn’t trained with him for a few years, your son wouldn’t just have an injured arm. He would’ve really have broken his arm and leg.”
“Do you still think you’re lucky now?” Mu Yuchen reprimanded him softly.
“No, I’ve learned my lesson this time.”
Mu Zicheng was rather modest.
“If you don’t want us to worry, then behave yourself.”
…
When they returned home, Xi Xiaye had already prepared dinner. Qi Weier had gone to school as well, so it was only Xi Xiaye and Mu Zishu at home.
Mu Zishu was over four years old this year. She looked very much like Xi Xiaye. Her body looked a little thin and weak, but she was very strong. She was also the youngest in the family, so she was usually doted on by Mu Yuchen.
However, Mu Zishu was not arrogant because she was doted on. Instead, she was more calm. Perhaps it was because she had been influenced by people like grandmothe, Zhuang Shurong.
After dinner, Mu Zicheng went back to his room, and Mu Zishu followed behind him.
She stood at the door and saw her brother through the crack of the door sitting on the sofa with his sleeves rolled up as he looked at the wound. The little one’s eyes widened as well, then she walked over carefully with her short legs.
“Xiao Shu? Why are you here?”
Mu Zicheng was naturally a little surprised when he saw his sister. He quickly wanted to roll down his sleeves.
However, Mu Zishu’s sparkling eyes darted back and forth between his arms and his handsome face. She simply leaned over and asked, “Brother, why are you hurt?”
“It’s just a small wound. I accidentally cut myself. Don’t tell Mother.”
As Mu Zishu listened, her eyes flickered. “Does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you…”
As she spoke, her small mouth moved over and started blowing very carefully.
However, Mu Zicheng glanced at her. He did not believe that Mu Zishu would be so solicitous for no reason. However, after looking at her for a long time, he saw that she was blowing very carefully.
“Xiao Shu, did you come to me for something?”
Mu Zicheng looked at her suspiciously.
Upon hearing this, Mu Zishu immediately raised her eyes. Her starry eyes flickered for a moment before she shook her head. “No.”
“Really?” Mu Zicheng asked again.
Mu Zishu shook her head again.
After a long while, Mu Zishu finally stopped. Mu Zicheng also felt that the pain was no longer as great.
“It’s fine now, you can go back. I still have to do my homework.”
Mu Zicheng still did not believe that this girl could be so obedient and accompany him. In the past, this little girl was very smart. She would not say anything even if she wanted to. She would only say it through others.
As expected, Mu Zishu still did not move after she finished speaking. She glanced at Mu Zicheng and said, “Where are the rose hairpins you said you bought for me?”
Mu Zicheng only remembered this matter when Mu Zishu mentioned it—
A few days ago, when the siblings pa.s.sed by the square, Mu Zicheng agreed. Of course, when he pa.s.sed by the square today, he specially went to buy them.
When he saw the hopeful look in her eyes, he smiled. He raised his hand like an adult and patted Mu Zishu’s little head. He slowly reached into his pocket and took out a small brocade box and handed it to Mu Zishu—
“Your brother is the best brother in the world, would I forget?”
Mu Zishu took it and opened it to take a look. It was the rose hairpin that she wanted. It was exquisitely made and was something that a little girl should like.
Mu Zishu immediately hugged Mu Zicheng happily. “How wonderful, brother!”
“Did you say thank you?”
Mu Zicheng narrowed his eyes at her and raised his hand to pat her back.
“Thank you, Brother!”
Mu Zishu thanked him and got out of Mu Zicheng’s arms. “That’s great! I can finally exchange my hair clip for Sister Lan’s picture alb.u.m! I need to call Sister Lan!”
Mu Zishu said this and walked towards the door.
Mu Zicheng finally understood what this little girl had just said!
What did she mean by exchanging her hair clip for Sister Lan’s picture alb.u.m?
Using this hairpin to exchange for a picture alb.u.m with Qi Lan?
…
To think that this little girl could think of such a thing!
She had caused him to spend almost all of his pocket money for this month just for this hairpin, yet she actually wanted to give it to Qi Lan and betray him!
When Mu Zicheng thought of this, he immediately became displeased. He shouted towards the door—
“Mu Zishu, stop right there! Return the thing!”
Mu Zishu did not care about Mu Zicheng. She quickly left the room and went downstairs to call Qi Lan from Grand Lake Villa district.
Qi Lei was the one who answered the phone at Grand Lake Villa district.
“h.e.l.lo? Xiao Shu?”
Qi Lei’s sensitive and gentle voice was heard. He had just finished showering and the two children had been urged by him to go to the small study room to do their homework.
Qi Lei treated the children of the Mu family as his own children. Mu Zicheng and the others were also very close to the couple. They were practically another pair of parents.
“Uncle Qi, it’s me… Have you eaten?”
Mu Zishu’s tender voice soon came from the other end.
“Yes, I have. Why haven’t you come to uncle’s place to play for so long? Uncle just got someone to send over a batch of custom-made Barbie dolls. Come back for dinner with your Sister Wei’er this weekend. Tell your parents that Uncle will pick you up when the time comes, okay?”
Qi Lei was famous for spoiling his children. Every time he brought a gift, he would prepare a full set.
“Oh, I know. Uncle Qi, can I bring my brother over?”
Mu Zishu did not forget her brother either.
“Of course. Come over together. Uncle has already prepared a gift for you guys. Stay here for two days this weekend. Let Xiao Ye and Ah Lan play with you guys. You guys can go have a picnic at the back of the villa with Auntie Liuyun.”
“That’s great! Then can we call Brother Feng and Brother Mingyu as well?”
…
Qi Lei naturally did his best to fulfill Mu Zishu’s request.
He had a plan in mind. He would either turn Mu Zicheng into his son-in-law or Mu Zishu into his daughter-in-law. Of course, he would not interfere with the children’s matters. All he could do was he would let the children interact with each other more. The children were still young and there were too many variables. There was not much they could do.
“Uncle, I want to look for Sister Lan.”
After reaching an agreement with Qi Lei, Mu Zishu spoke directly.
“Okay, I’ll let her answer the phone now.”
