"Why aren't the two children back yet? Do you want to pick them up?”
Chen Li placed a plate of food on the table and looked worriedly at the open door.
"It's fine. Don't you have Xiaofei? Don't worry!”
Xia Yingru comforted him with a smile. She clearly trusted Ye Chen very much.
"That's right, sister. Don't worry. My kid is still young and quite reliable. Especially in the past few days, I feel that this child has suddenly grown up a lot!”
Ye Linxuan laughed in agreement.
" Of course I trust Xiao Fei. I'm just a little worried…"
"Mom, we're back."
Before Chen Li could finish her sentence, her daughter's familiar voice came from outside the door. She looked over in surprise and saw two little people holding hands as they walked into the house.
"Auntie, Uncle, Dad."
Ye Chen greeted them politely.
"Hey, you're back."
Chen Li agreed with a smile. She quickly went forward to help the two children take their school bags and asked,"Why are you back a little late today? Did the school delay the class?"
When Xia Muxi heard that, she avoided his gaze and subconsciously licked her lips. It was a little sweet.
"On the way there, I met someone who sold candied haws. I was greedy and bought them. There were many people, so I queued for a while.”
Ye Chen answered with a smile.
Chen Li glanced at her daughter's slightly red lips. How could she not understand what was going on? She smiled and flicked her daughter's forehead gently.
"You're the one who wants to eat it, aren't you?"
"Oh…Brother Fei said he was greedy.”
Xia Muxi covered her forehead and looked pitiful.
"You, just protect her!"
Chen Li glared at Ye Chen and waved her hand with a smile."Go, go, go. Hurry up and wash your hands and prepare to eat.”
Xia Muxi held Ye Chen's hand and ran away hurriedly. They went to the kitchen to wash their hands.
"These two children are really…"
Chen Li shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"How nice it is for Xiaochan to have such a loving brother.”
Xia Yingru smiled and moved the chariot on the chessboard. She looked at Ye Linxuan and said,"Check, you lost again!"
"How many games have I won against you?”
Ye Linxuan shrugged nonchalantly, indicating that he was used to losing.
"Stop playing, Sherlie. Hurry up and take out the cake.”
Chen Li called out to her husband.
"Alright, alright, here we go."
………………
The eight candles on the birthday cake were already lit. The two families surrounded the birthday girl, Xia Muxi, and sat around the dining table, singing the birthday song.
Under the candlelight, Xia Muxi's red face was filled with joy. Her bright eyes blinked as she stared at the birthday cake.
Xiaochan, make a wish and blow out the candles!"
Xia Yingru said to her daughter with a smile.
"Yes!"
Xia Muxi nodded her head vigorously and closed her eyes. She made a wish for her eighth birthday and blew out the candles.
"Xiaochan, what wish did you make?”
Chen Li asked with a smile.
"I won't say it. It won't work if I say it.”
Xia Muxi shook her head seriously.
"Okay, okay, okay. If you don't want to say it, come. This is Mom's gift to you.”
Chen Li took out a small gift box and handed it over.
"Thank you, Mom."
Xia Muxi thanked her sweetly and opened it impatiently. It was a very exquisite and beautiful butterfly hairpin.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. Mom, you're so nice. Help me put it on!”
Chen Li took it with a smile and put it on her daughter's head.
"Daddy, Brother Fei, do I look good?”
Xia Muxi could not help but start to gloat.
Xia Yingru and Ye Chen naturally nodded in praise, causing Xia Muxi's little face to bloom with joy.
After that, Xia Yingru and Ye Linxuan gave their respective gifts. Xia Yingru gave her daughter a piggy bank while Ye Linxuan gave her a harmonica. They were both things that Xia Muxi wanted after asking Chen Li.
Xia Muxi was overjoyed to receive so many birthday presents that she liked. Finally, she looked at Ye Chen, who was standing at the side, with eyes that seemed to be twinkling with countless little stars.
She was looking forward to the surprise her brother had mentioned the most.
Ye Chen slipped down from his chair and walked over to the coffee table. He took out a large gift box from under the coffee table. He had just run to the house opposite to take it and hid it.
"What is it?"
Xia Muxi's big eyes were already shining as she asked impatiently.
"This is a pair of dance shoes for you.”
Ye Chen handed the gift over.
When he opened the gift box, he saw a pair of pretty and cute pink dance shoes.
"Wow, thank you, brother. I really like it.”
Xia Muxi used the word 'good' to express how happy and excited she was.
"Xiaofei, how do you know Xiaochan is going to learn dancing?”
Xia Yingru asked in surprise.
The couple had only recently decided to send their daughter to dance lessons. They had not even told their daughter yet. They were planning to wait until after their birthday.
Ye Chen pretended not to know." I don't know. But doesn't Xiaochan like dancing very much? I thought about it for a long time and decided to give her this."”
In fact, how could he not know about Xia Muxi's greatest hobby? Since she was eight years old, she had been insisting on dancing. She had learned ballet, classical dance, folk dance, and so on.
At the various parties in the school, as long as she appeared, she would be the brightest star in the audience.
