"Dad, my wish is for you to co ho..."
"..."
Prince Huang’s certainty made Shuangshuang firmly believe that the person playing Mickey was Yin Shixiu.
Yin ng, dressed in the Mickey costu, froze.
Through the costu, Yin ng could feel the two children’s longing for their uncle...
Yin ng wanted to take off the costu’s head, but at this mont, she couldn’t bring herself to do it...
She was afraid that by taking it off, she would strip away the brief happiness and comfort in the children’s hearts.
Afraid that taking it off would lead to Shuangshuang and Huanghuang’s disappointed and dejected expressions...
She turned her head to look at Su Xiaong...
Su Xiaong was also a bit at a loss for a mont...
The worries in Yin ng’s heart were shared by her as well.
But... the person in the Mickey costu was ultimately not Yin Shixiu, not the husband who was still missing...
Xiao ng wanted to give Shuangshuang and Huanghuang a surprise... a beautiful fairy-tale world.
But unexpectedly, the harsh reality was shattering even the children’s beautiful fairy tale.
"Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to you..."
Bai Sixian started singing the birthday song, his gentle and pleasant voice breaking the awkward atmosphere...
Su Chengji joined in, and those who had been busy in the kitchen started coming over, clapping and singing along in rhythm.
Yin Shaohui and Zhou ngqin, who had been standing by the stairs on the second floor, also softly humd along.
Xiao ng walked up to Shuangshuang and Huanghuang, kneeling down,
"Sister ngng is getting hot, Sister ngng is not Dad, but daddy will hear Shuang’er and Huang’er’s birthday wish."
Su Xiaong reached out and held Prince Huang’s hand, knowing that Shuangshuang would listen to her brother.
Prince Huang was stunned... the joy on his face suddenly faded.
Yin ng took off the headgear, her forehead slightly sweaty, and greeted Shuangshuang and Huanghuang,
"Happy birthday!"
Prince Huang seed still in disbelief... he was almost certain that the person playing Mickey was his Dad...
"Huanghuang, Sister ngng is wishing you a happy birthday!"
"Thank you, Sister ngng."
Prince Huang looked up at Yin ng!
Su Xiaong finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling proud to have such a resilient son.
At this mont, Shuangshuang and Prince Huang also understood that their mom was celebrating their birthday!
No one wanted to ruin such a aningful day, nor turn Shuangshuang and Huanghuang’s birthday into the commoration of Yin Shixiu’s death.
Bai Fengmao, Yin Shaohui, and Zhou ngqin were the first among the elders to sit down.
The younger ones went back inside to take off the costu, and with the air conditioner on, the room quickly cooled down.
The elders handed red envelopes to Shuangshuang and Huanghuang, and others also brought gifts.
The siblings looked at the pile of presents in front of them, stacked as high as a mountain, and couldn’t open them fast enough, both beaming with smiles.
The birthday stars were happy, so it was worth it for those celebrating them.
Shuangshuang and Huanghuang looked at the very tall cake on the table...
Now they were completely convinced that what Grandpa said about "being happy on your birthday" was true.
With a little clever one like Shuangshuang around, the atmosphere would never go cold.
In the evening, Bai Fengmao and the Yin family’s two elders sat together, chatting in the living room on the sofa.
The n gathered together and started playing poker.
Su Xiaong and Yin ng leaned against each other, watching Shuangshuang and Huanghuang unwrap their gifts with excitent.
"What are you thinking?"
Yin ng, seeing Su Xiaong gazing at Shuangshuang and Huanghuang, couldn’t help but ask.
"Even though it was my idea to give them a surprise... seeing so many people surrounding them, I’m afraid that growing up like the center of attention, they might beco too self-centered."
Yin ng looked at Su Xiaong in surprise...
"What’s wrong?"
"Aren’t you overthinking it? Shuangshuang and Huanghuang are really good kids, I’ve never seen kids this young, so sensible, who know how to care for their parents."
Yin ng crossed her arms, speaking earnestly.
Su Xiaong smiled softly,
"Maybe I am overthinking it."
Yin ng looked at the siblings who were almost identical in appearance in front of her.
Now, perhaps the only way to tell them apart was by their hairstyles.
"ngng... do you miss Uncle very much?"
Su Xiaong took a deep breath and exhaled long,
"How could I not?"
"I used to think Shuangshuang and Huanghuang looked more like you, but now, I think they resemble Uncle more."
"They were originally more like him. I hope they can be more like him..."
Su Xiaong shrugged,
"I have to admit, when it cos to brains, Shixiu is much smarter. I want them to have good brains too."
