Ling Sheng was agitated by the primary school ments. On Saturday, she attended extra lessons and did not go home during the day. Xiaoqi could not wait for his mother, so he tried his best to act happy. However, he was still listless.
Su Xiyin’s legs had been cold for the past two days, and the walk was painful. Huo Xiao had returned to the old residence, so he could not acpany Xiaoqi out.
Xiaoqi looked very happy. He washed a plate of grapes and ran over to sit beside his great-grandmother. “Great-grandmother, eat.”
Su Xiyin knew that the child was bored at home. He was at an age when he liked to have fun. Sheng Sheng had promised to acpany him to the amusement park that day. Who knew that she would not be able to e home after her tutoring session? She sighed. “Xiaoqi, you will eat too.”
“Yes.” Xiaoqi stood aside and peeled the grapes’ skin. He ate one himself and gave one to his great-grandmother. “Great-grandmother, Xiaoqi wants to be a doctor when he grows up. He will be the best doctor.”
“Didn’t you want to be a scientist yesterday?” Su Xiyin smiled as she looked at the child’s serious expression. “Why did you change your mind again?”
Xiaoqi looked at her seriously. “Xiaoqi will be the best doctor and treat great-grandmother’s legs.”
Tears welled up in Su Xiyin’s eyes, and her heart warmed. When she saw the child feeding her grapes, her heart ached. “Okay, my Xiaoqi will be a doctor.”
When Huo Ci woke up and came out, he saw that Xiaoqi was still there. He frowned in confusion. “Why are you still at home? Where’s your mother? Didn’t she want to take you out to play?”
The smile on Xiaoqi’s face disappeared immediately. He pursed his lips and peeled the grapes silently.
Upon seeing his expression, Huo Ci knew what was happening. Acting nothing like an elder, he clapped his hands in schadenfreude. “Oh, you’ve been stood up!”
Su Xiyin glared at him ferociously and pointed at him angrily. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Sheng Sheng needs to have extra lessons. Do you think she’s like you and idles around every day?”
Look at what a scumbag he was! How could he speak to a child like that? He was not acting like a grandpa at all!
Xiaoqi was not angry, but he was a little sad. After peeling a grape, he ran over to Huo Ci on his short legs and tried his best to give it to him. “Grandpa, have a grape.”
Upon seeing the child’s flattering expression, Huo Ci swallowed his words. When Su Xiyin glared at him, he let out a snort. “Eat it yourself.”
The kid was smiling wide, warming his heart. Tsk, what a flattering little thing.
“Okay!” Xiaoqi stuffed the grape into his mouth obediently before turning around to leave on his short legs. He looked full of disappointment from behind.
Huo Ci choked. “Look at you. Show me your face. I didn’t take you out to play yet, did I? I’ll take you out later.”
Xiaoqi smiled like a flower. When he turned around, his big eyes were full of surprise and his small voice was crisp and happy. “Really?”
“Yes.” Huo Ci nodded. “Mother, I’ll take him out later. If you’re worried about Father, go back to the old residence!”
Su Xiyin nodded as she watched the duo wash their faces and change clothes. Before long, they were fully dressed.
Huo Ci was wearing casual clothes, a pair of sunglasses, a mask, and a cap. One could not tell his age, but his figure and temperament were excellent.
Xiaoqi was also wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, which made him look very cool. He even posed handsomely in front of Su Xiyin, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “Great-grandmother, is Xiaoqi handsome?”
Su Xiyin smiled lovingly and nodded before giving him a thumbs-up. “My Xiaoqi is the most handsome boy.”
