When Su Xiaong ca back, she was already t with Shuangshuang’s discontented complaints,
"Mom! Such a long ti! Stayed in the che (toilet) too long! Starving to death! Burp~"
Su Xiaong looked speechlessly at Shuangshuang whose mouth was full of soup, the little girl burped as she spoke...
Starving to death? I’d really like to starve you!
Su Xiaong glanced at her, ignored it, and sat down, then Yin Shixiu said,
"I asked the waiter to make another bowl, it’ll be brought over in a bit."
The bowl of ran in front of Xiaong was already mushy.
Actually, eating it wouldn’t be a big deal, but Yin Shixiu thought, his wife was in a bad mood, and if the food was bad too... he’d be the one to suffer.
He had never been so cautious with anyone in his life, using up a lifeti’s worth of patience and caution to serve his wife.
Thinking about it was quite helpless, but within this helplessness was the happiness he wanted.
"Oh."
Su Xiaong responded, and soon, another small bowl of ran was brought up.
Shuangshuang was very tempted, but when she touched her belly, it was indeed round and full.
She watched her mom with drooling eyes, but when Xiaong turned to feed her more, the little girl wisely shook her head and continued to watch her mom with desire...
Su Xiaong was eating with a mix of helplessness and amusent.
Prince Huang finished a small bowl by himself, exhaled deeply, and leaned against Yin Shixiu, as if he was tired from eating, but clearly enjoyed it.
Yin Shixiu had not seriously eaten sothing in a long ti, but his appetite was good today.
A large bowl was eaten until it was squeaky clean!
The warm ran filled everyone up, and Shuangshuang and Huanghuang both took off their down jackets.
Shuangshuang was looking around with big eyes, and soon Su Xiaong noticed that she repeatedly turned around to peer over the back of the chair and quickly retracted her head, doing so repeatedly in quite a sneaky way!
Following her gaze, Xiaong saw that at two tables back across the aisle, there was a child of similar age also eating noodles.
The child looked truly unattractive!
Eyebrows so light they seed nonexistent, small eyes, chubby cheeks drooping downward, and even slightly thick lips...
For a mont, Xiaong couldn’t help but worry about the child’s future, and what was in her heart showed on her face as a look of sympathy and pity...
Glancing slightly to the left, she saw the child’s parents, who were looking back at Su Xiaong with quite a dissatisfied expression.
Startled, Su Xiaong quickly gave an embarrassed smile and withdrew her gaze.
"That child doesn’t look very good, right?"
Yin Shixiu spoke calmly.
Su Xiaong and Shuangshuang were sitting with their backs to that table, needing to turn around to see, but Yin Shixiu could just follow his line of sight.
He said it lightly, and without much thought, Su Xiaong responded,
"Indeed, not good looking... Eh, but my grandfather used to say, if a child is not good looking when young, they grow up to be pretty, and if they’re pretty when young, they don’t look as good when they’re older."
"Then doesn’t that make who’s been handso since I was little quite annoying to others?"
Yin Shixiu picked up the down jacket beside him and put it on Prince Huang.
Listening to these words, Su Xiaong wondered... why was it so irritating?
Looking up, the man had a calm expression... she was simply speechless, couldn’t help but roll her eyes, and halfway through, she t Yin Shixiu’s slightly smiling eyes...
Unconsciously... she looked away.
"Co, Shuangshuang, put your clothes on."
"Okay!"
Su Xiaong helped Shuangshuang put on her clothes while muttering,
"Look at you, you ate yourself into a ball, your belly is so round that you can’t even zip up your clothes..."
Xiaong chattered, expecting the little girl to be a bit shy, but unexpectedly, she wasn’t ashad at all, instead, she proudly patted her belly,
"Shuangshuang aweso! Waterlon!"
"..."
Is this shaless little girl really her daughter?
Su Xiaong felt embarrassed, quickly looked around, afraid that Shuangshuang’s words had been overheard, and indeed, a few people were looking at them, all with barely restrained laughter on their faces!
She looked up, and those close even initiated a conversation,
"The two little girls are so cute!"
Prince Huang pricked up his ears, glanced at the person who spoke, gave a sideways glance, and continued to lean against Dad.
Ignorant peasants!
Shuangshuang, though, was sincere at that mont, pointing to her brother and saying,
"Fangfang (Huanghuang) brother!"
The people by the neighboring table didn’t understand, so Xiaong quickly explained,
"They’re siblings, that’s the brother."
"Oh, oh! I see! You two are so lucky, the kids are so clever, how old are they?"
"Two and a half years old."
Xiaong had just said it, and the other party was already astonished, "Such strong expression skills at two and a half?!"
"It’s alright."
This was sothing Su Xiaong felt proud of, but outside, she stayed modest.
"Your household must be very lively!"
The smile on Su Xiaong’s face froze for half a second but quickly nodded,
"Yes, it’s quite lively."
Quite... lively.
After responding, Xiaong glanced at Yin Shixiu, who calmly drank tea... but his gaze fell on her.
This ti, she didn’t hurriedly look away, instead just calmly shifted her gaze, motioning for the waiter to bring the bill.
The whole family ca in lively to eat, and then left lively.
This liveliness isn’t fake.
"Where to next?"
After getting into the car, Yin Shixiu asked.
Shuangshuang and Huanghuang never expected the day wasn’t over yet!
They hurriedly voiced their opinions as much as possible,
"See robots!"
"I want to see Lanlan!"
"What’s Lanlan?"
Yin Shixiu was puzzled, Su Xiaong explained, "It’s a dolphin at Ocean Park, she nad it herself."
ntioning this, Xiaong felt awkward again.
Last week after taking the siblings to Ocean Park, after the dolphin show ended, Xiaong communicated with staff, and brought the siblings for a close-up interaction with the dolphins.
As a consequence, upon seeing one of the dolphins, Shuangshuang exclaid "Lanlan"!
The staff paused, as their dolphin, British by breed, had a very posh and noble na, "Lanlan" was like, what?!
Others might not know, but Xiaong does, Lanlan is the na Shuangshuang gave to her dolphin plush toy.
"My Lanlan..."
She kept calling it like that, as if the dolphin belonged to her.
Though children speak without malice, at that mont, Xiaong felt so embarrassnt...
And besides them, there were other families having close interaction with the dolphins too.
Hearing Shuangshuang shouting "Lanlan", so, not quite understanding, started calling it "Lanlan" too...
The staff had to explain several tis, the dolphin’s na is "Locke".
"No Ocean Park today, Dad will take you to the amusent park, then we’ll ride the Ferris wheel at night."
"Ferris wheel, what’s that?"
Shuangshuang quickly asked, even though the term was unfamiliar, since Dad would take them, it must be a good place.
"It’s that large round thing we can see from our house!"
Shuangshuang imdiately knew what it was!
Her round eyes widened instantly, and she burst out an English phrase, "Really?!"
Yin Shixiu laughed,
"Really."
It was the Ferris wheel known as the London Eye, forrly the world’s largest, taking about thirty minutes to revolve once.
Shuangshuang didn’t really know what it was, but knowing they would be taken there by dad, it must be a good place.
Once the initial excitent subsided, the kids fell asleep in the car.
Su Xiaong dozed off leaning against the children’s car seats, side by side with Shuangshuang and Huanghuang.
Yin Shixiu, glancing back, took a sip of tea... his gaze lingering on Su Xiaong.
This ti, she didn’t look away in a hurry, only calmly averted her eyes, and beckoned the waitress for the check.
