"Little Skinny Pole, your attire is truly splendid," Zhouzhou exclaid as she gazed at his resplendent golden dragon robe, her eyes shimring with admiration.
Almost instinctively, her chubby hand reached out to touch it.
Upon hearing this complint, Huo Ji'an proudly raised his chin. "Of course, my father helped select it!" he declared.
With a glance at Zhouzhou's attire, Huo Ji'an also offered praise. "Chubby Girl, your outfit is truly elegant," he added.
Zhouzhou bead with delight upon hearing these words. "Little Skinny Pole, you truly have exquisite taste!" she replied, her eyes forming crescent moons with her smile.
The two youngsters exchanged complints, their mutual admiration fueling their joy.
anwhile, the adults couldn't help but twitch at the peculiar aesthetic sense of the children, finding it sowhat unbearable to witness.
Indeed, the two of them were well-suited companions, even their tastes in aesthetics were becoming increasingly similar.
Ye Lingfeng, sowhat exasperated, glanced at Yu Ze. "You've at least dipped your toe into the fashion world, how can your sense of aesthetics be so lacking?"
In order to match Huo Ji'an's attire, Yu Ze was also dressed in traditional Han clothing today, complete with a headpiece, exuding the air of a refined gentleman, pleasing to the eye.
Yet, despite his own efforts to look good, he ended up dressing his son in such attire. It was sowhat shortsighted of him.
Hearing this, Yu Ze could only smile wryly. "Ji'an likes it," he replied.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng gave him a knowing look. Well, if Zhouzhou liked it, there was no stopping her, and he couldn't bear to disappoint her.
Oh well, his little girl did have a unique sense of aesthetics; it wasn't such a big deal after all.
With this in mind, he looked towards Zhouzhou, but quickly averted his gaze. He couldn't bear to see it. His sweet little girl, she was slipping away.
Qin Lie was already accustod to his daughter's love for shiny things. Stepping forward, he straightened Zhouzhou's black gauze hat and asked, "Shall we take a photo?"
"Yes, yes!" Zhouzhou eagerly nodded, then glanced at Yu Ze's outfit with so regret.
"Uncle Yu, your outfit is so nice. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Dad to choose one like this too. Then we could have matched, father-daughter outfits!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng exchanged a glance, both for once not vying for Zhouzhou's attention.
Indeed, sotis, not competing for favor was preferable!
Grandma Qin chuckled as she watched them, unable to suppress her amusent at their sowhat startled expressions.
Approaching them, she intervened, "Alright, let's take the photos first. Zhouzhou, Ji'an, let Grandpa take pictures for you."
Grandpa Qin, ever obliging, approached with a cara in hand. The forr influential figure in the business world was now reduced to a re photographer.
"Zhouzhou, give us a smile," Grandpa said.
Zhouzhou imdiately hugged the golden ingot and bead brightly.
She was not only cute but also photogenic. Grandpa nodded in satisfaction as he looked at his granddaughter through the cara lens. She was truly adorable.
His son lacked vision; this outfit was so festive, yet he dared to complain.
Just as he was thinking this, Zhouzhou waved at him, "Grandpa, let's take a photo together."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa's expression froze montarily before he waved her off. "No, no, let take your photos," he said quickly, imdiately focusing on his task.
Saying one thing and doing another.
Grandma Qin shook her head, a hint of amusent playing on her lips.
Before long, the teachers arrived and gathered the children from each class to start the activities, while the parents watched from the sidelines.
Qin Lie, gazing in Zhouzhou's direction with tender affection, suddenly spoke up, "Sumr vacation is approaching. Take Zhouzhou for so training during the break."
Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng raised an eyebrow, evidently not expecting him to suggest this.
Uncertain whether Qin Lie was intentionally baiting him with those words, Ye Lingfeng stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression unchanged.
"Are you willing to let take Zhouzhou away? You can't go where I'll be taking her."
At this, Qin Lie's eyes darkened slightly, but as he looked at Zhouzhou, he still said, "Take good care of her."
Since when had he beco so agreeable?
Ye Lingfeng regarded him with evident puzzlent.
They were of the sa ilk, no need to pretend otherwise.
Qin Lie was the sa.
No need to ask what was on his mind; he was forthright enough to say it: "I'd rather Zhouzhou be safe and sound for two months than being with her."
Now that Zhouzhou had joined the Fourth Bureau, it was only a matter of ti before she encountered those people and things. Since she couldn't avoid it, there was no need to dwell on it too much; the important thing was to make her stronger.
"I have only one request," he turned to Ye Lingfeng and said, each word deliberate. "Don't let her get hurt."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng's lips curled slightly. "Do you think I would let Zhouzhou get into trouble?"
Of course not. He doted on Zhouzhou as if she were the apple of his eye.
With a knowing glance exchanged between them on this matter, they looked away, and Qin Lie's gaze once again fell on Zhouzhou.
When the teacher finished speaking and dismissed them, he was the first to walk over to Zhouzhou.
This ti, Ye Lingfeng didn't approach, but watched them quietly, sighing softly to himself, "This guy..."
Sotis, he wasn't so bad after all.
Most of the participants in the graduation ceremony were children from the senior class, with Zhouzhou, Qin Feng, and Huo Ji'an being exceptions, as they were all skipping grades.
Consequently, they weren't very familiar with the senior class and mainly played with Qin Nan and Qin Bei.
Grandpa followed behind them, snapping photos.
Seeing Zhouzhou donning her elentary school graduate robe and standing among the crowd, posing for graduation photos, Grandpa couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.
Had it really been that long? His granddaughter had grown up all of a sudden.
Thinking this, he glanced at Zhouzhou again. At this mont, the little chubby girl was being pulled to the front row by the teacher, noticeably shorter than the other children around her, standing out conspicuously.
Grandpa's earlier sentint of nostalgia dissipated in an instant.
Not so fast after all.
She's still young.
They still had plenty of ti to accompany her.
As if sensing his gaze, Zhouzhou turned her head and waved at him.
Grandpa smiled and picked up the cara to continue snapping photos.
After the photo session, Zhouzhou happily ran over and hugged his leg. "Grandpa, let's take a photo together."
"Alright."
This ti, Grandpa didn't refuse. It was his precious granddaughter's first graduation photo, after all; he had to be a part of it.
Well, not because Zhouzhou had changed out of her God of Wealth costu.
Since they were taking photos, they might as well take a family portrait.
Yu Ze spoke up, "Let take the photo for everyone."
Grandpa didn't refuse and handed him the cara.
Zhouzhou, pulling a reluctant Qin Bei along, secretly slipped a candy into his hand. Qin Bei instantly brightened up, and Yu Ze pressed the shutter, capturing the mont.
Ye Lingfeng stood behind them, observing the little antics of the two children with clarity, a hint of a smile flickering in his eyes.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang urgently.
Hearing the ringtone, Ye Lingfeng's expression changed slightly. He walked quickly to a secluded corner and answered, "Hello..."
It was unclear what was said on the other end, but his expression grew increasingly grim.
So people really seed to have a death wish!
