Chapter 275: One More
Ling Sheng suddenly jumped out of the ball pit and looked at the man in front of her. She laughed and made a face. “I’m here!”
While Jun Shiyan heaved a sigh of relief, he pulled her into his embrace. Upon seeing her gloating smile, he gritted his teeth and said, “Baddie!”
Ling Sheng smiled even more brightly. “Were you worried? Were you scared?”
Jun Shiyan wanted to punish her, but when he saw her smiling face, he finally sighed. “Don’t scare me again!”
“Xiaoqi is here!” Ling Sheng stood up and ran over to catch Xiaoqi, who had slid down. “Stop playing, alright? Mommy and Uncle Jun are tired.”
“Then shall we play on the trampoline?” Xiaoqi had not had enough fun yet. It was different when he was out with his mother and Uncle Jun.
Grandpa would scold him, but Uncle Jun would never scold him or Mommy. He liked Uncle Jun the most.
Ling Sheng accompanied her son on the trampoline. Meanwhile, Jun Shiyan watched them from the side, his eyes full of gentleness and doting love. The trampoline was small, and it was easy to jump out. He would rush over to protect whoever was in danger of bouncing out.
Xiaoqi’s face flushed with excitement. It was good to have a father and a mother. He was finally someone with a father and a mother today. He thought to himself, One day will do. Uncle Jun would definitely be willing to be my father for one day.
Ever since Ling Sheng had transmigrated, she had not kept her son much company. She would let Xiaoqi do whatever he wanted and play with him whenever he wanted.
After getting tired of playing in the ball pit, he sat aside and started fishing. He was fishing for goldfish by using a rod and bait. It cost one yuan per minute, and he could take anything he caught home.
Xiaoqi caught three fish and was overjoyed. In the end, he wanted to buy three more. He even bought a fish tank and some bait and started carrying them wherever he went.
It was only when she received a call from home to ask where she was and when she was coming home that Ling Sheng realized she had lost track of time. She looked at the duo, who were still playing Whac-A-Mole. “Xiaoqi, let’s go home. We’ll play again another day, alright?”
Xiaoqi, who had not had enough, looked at Jun Shiyan eagerly and asked in a low voice, “Uncle Jun, will we?”
Jun Shiyan nodded and patted his head. “Of course we will. It’s late; I’ll take you and Mommy home now.”
Ling Sheng made Xiaoqi promise not to tell anyone that Jun Shiyan had been playing with them. Otherwise, Uncle Jun would not be able to play with him again. Xiaoqi promised not to tell anyone.
“Where did you go to play?” Upon seeing the small goldfish, Su Xiyin smiled and greeted him. “You even bought a small goldfish!”
Xiaoqi hugged the goldfish tank like a baby and said excitedly, “Great-grandmother, Mommy took me out to play today.”
Huo Xiao was not at home.
Before Ling Sheng could drink any water, she saw her father walk out of the room and look at her ferociously. “You still know the way home!”
“Father, this is my house. Of course I will come back.” Ling Sheng smiled. “Father, Xiaoqi bought you a gift! Xiaoqi, where’s your gift for Grandpa?”
Xiaoqi dashed in on his short legs and dragged him out. He stopped in front of the goldfish tank and said, “Grandpa, the goldfish with the black tail is yours.”
Huo Ci thought, What kind of f*cking gift is this?
Xiaoqi explained, “This is mine. This is Mommy’s. This is great-grandpa’s, great-grandmother’s, and grandpa’s!”
Huo Ci counted. Something was not right. There were only five of them. Why were there six fish? Who was the extra one for? “What about the golden one?”
