Chapter 187
Chapter 187 – Responsible Little Girl
The weekend has arrived, and Xixi was also on vacation. After being busy for a few days, Yang Yi decided to take a break for himself, mainly to spend time with his daughter. So, he arbitrarily closed the coffee shop.
However, he did not follow a certain Mr. Yuan’s example and post a note at the door of the shop to request time off. This guy didn’t even have the idea of finding an excuse.
To Yang Yi’s surprise, Mo Fei also came over. Mo Fei, at some point, became aware of the situation, paused her full-speed recording work, and took advantage of the weekend to reunite with Xixi and Yang Yi for two days.
Mo Fei used to be a workaholic!
When she was preparing for her comeback album, she really spent all day and night in the recording studio. She even had to find time to take Xixi to Yang Yi’s house!
“I don’t know why… maybe it’s because after experiencing failure, I realized that music also needs to be done slowly. The people who criticized me were not wrong – good work takes time.” When Mo Fei answered Yang Yi’s question, she also felt a little confused.
She leaned against the railing, looking at the starry night sky, and continued to murmur, “Or maybe it’s because I now realize that music and family are equally important. I don’t want to focus all my energy in work and overlook my daughter’s growth.”
“And what about me?” Yang Yi hugged Mo Fei from behind, interlocking his fingers with hers.
“Hehe!” Mo Fei was no longer confused at this point. She playfully leaned into Yang Yi’s embrace and said, “Maybe, you’re also one of the reasons. What do you think!”
Yang Yi’s embrace was still very warm!
…
On Saturday, they just stayed at home, listening to Xixi telling stories about kindergarten and playing with their three British Shorthair cats. And then at night, after Xixi fell asleep, Yang Yi and Mo Fei had a romantic moment.
The story of that night cannot be described.
On Sunday, Yang Yi had a special plan!
“Let’s go climb Ting Mountain and have a barbecue on the mountain!” Yang Yi prepared all ingredients, equipment, and charcoal for the barbecue, and announced excitedly in the morning.
“Great!” Xixi, the little girl, was most excited. She jumped and cheered, “I love going to play the most!”
“Barbecuing in the mountains, will it cause a forest fire?” Mo Fei was tinkering with the wind and rain flowers she bought yesterday, spraying them with mist and asking with some concern.
“That is indeed a risk,” Yang Yi smiled and said, “But don’t worry, when it comes to cooking in the mountains, I’m an expert. With me around, there are no risks!”
“Let’s go, let’s go!” Xixi shouted to announce her presence, her little face red with excitement.
Since that was the case, Mo Fei had no further objections and nodded with a smile.
Just as Mo Fei was packing her clothes and Yang Yi was preparing the barbecue ingredients, Xixi run over again.
“Papa, can we bring Xiao Guai and the others with us?” The little girl was thinking very carefully. She held her father’s hand and asked with some worry, “If we’re not at home, Xiao Guai and the others will be very scared.”
Yang Yi patted Xixi’s little head and smiled gently. “Of course, we’re going to bring them along. But, Xixi, can you take responsibility for taking care of them?”
They definitely had to bring the kittens along because Yang Yi and the others were going to play for almost a whole day. If they left the kittens at home, they would probably be starving by the end of the day, right?
Xixi was very happy when she heard this. The little girl stood up straight, her face tense, and earnestly promised, “I can do it, Papa. I will take good care of Xiao Guai and the others!”
The book was right. Don’t treat children like they don’t understand anything. By giving them some “small tasks” that they are capable of, they can create unexpected surprises for adults!
After a while, Yang Yi carried the large backpack with all the packed items to the living room and was surprised to see Xixi stuffing the kittens’ belongings into her own little backpack.
At the same time, the three little British Shorthair cats were lying down, sitting, or leisurely pacing around Xixi, looking up at her.
“What are you doing with all the kittens’ toys?” Yang Yi walked over, glanced at them, and asked with a smile.
Yang Yi took out a fluffy cloth mouse and playfully tossed it in his hand, which immediately caught the attention of the kittens. Even Duoduo flipped over and stood up, staring at the cloth mouse rolling in the air with wide eyes.
However, Xixi didn’t go along with it. She jumped up, grabbed her father’s hand, and snatched it away, saying, “Papa, don’t mess around! I just finished tidying up!”
“Are you going to take it outside to play with them?” Yang Yi saw his daughter nod. He smiled and patted the little girl’s head. “You don’t need to take so much. We’ll only be out for a little while, and they won’t be able to play with so many toys.”
Xixi’s big eyes were a little confused. She scratched her head and pouted, saying, “So, what should I do?”
“Come on, Papa will help you pack. We’ll take a few toys, the cat food they’ll eat for lunch, and the milk the kittens will drink.” Yang Yi comforted the little girl and then helped her take out some big toys that were not needed.
A cat toy on the table accidentally rolled down, triggering a fierce battle for it among the three kittens.
“Hehe, Come on, Xiao Guai, come on!” Xixi’s attention was drawn over. The little girl didn’t pay attention to watching her father pack, so she turned around and joined the fray. As the cheerleader, she not only didn’t act as a referee but also often helped Xiao Guai to tilt the balance in his favor!
…
At around ten o’clock in the morning, they finally set off!
Yang Yi drove the car with Mo Fei and Xixi, as well as the three kittens in the cage in the trunk, and headed towards the depths of Ting Mountain.
Ting Mountain was both small and big in different ways.
The small part refers to Ting Mountain, which borders Jiangcheng Media University. This was the main mountain, but it was not as tall as Mount Huang or Mount Tai, just a small peak!
However, it made sense to call it big because the entire Ting Mountain was a small mountain range. The mountains and valleys that stretch behind it form a small mountain range with Ting Mountain as its head.
The place Yang Yi drove to was another relatively gentle hill, where a mountain road had been built but the corresponding scenic area had not yet been established. The area was sparsely populated, making it a good destination for a self-driving tour.
On the winding road, there was only the Tyrant Wolf, so Yang Yi opened the car window and even the roof, really enjoying the wind.
Mo Fei accompanied Xixi in the back seat, and they were both in a cheerful mood. Mo Fei clapped her hands and sang a song to Xixi: “Time goes slowly, you walk slowly, I want to accompany my baby, ride a small boat and drift along the river…”
The little girl also clapped her hands and shook her head with a smile as she followed the beat. Yang Yi drove with a smile on his face, quietly listening as well. This relatively unknown folk song in this world, when sung by Mo Fei’s clear and gentle voice, was actually melodious and moving.
it was unclear whether the cicadas in the mountain had reached the end of their lives in the autumn or were simply intoxicated by the songs, as they made no sound. A warm breeze swept by, and only the rustling sound of leaves echoed with the song.
