That night, after playing with the babies for a while, An Xiaxia went to bed in exhaustion .
Sheng Yize was very happy about that .
Finally, no public square dancing!
Jubilant, Mr . Sheng tidied up the entire house, humming a tune as he worked . He then played building blocks with Cola and Pepsi .
Of course, what he loved the most was pushing everything over whenever the two kids had gained some height with the building blocks .
Cola and Pepsi were almost in tears .
At about nine o’clock, Pepsi looked around and suddenly realized that her mama wasn’t there .
Scratching her head, she threw herself into Sheng Yize’s arms . “Papa…”
“Yes? What now? Hungry again?” Sheng Yize asked mildly .
“Papa… call… Little Bai…” Pepsi gestured with all four limbs and Sheng Yize immediately understood what she wanted to say .
The little thing wanted to give Si Bai a video call!
He wouldn’t allow it!
“No . You have to go to bed early tonight,” Sheng Yize said with a straight face .
Pepsi pursed her lips and her eyes went teary . She then lay on his shoulder and began to sob .
Sheng Yize was helpless when she was in tears . He couldn’t console her no matter what he said and he didn’t want to wake up An Xiaxia . In the end, he had no choice but to call the Si family .
The video call soon went through .
“Pepsi! Pepsi! This is Little Bai!” Si Bai’s young voice came from the other end . He was surprised when he saw Sheng Yize’s face on the screen . “Good evening, Father-in-law . ”
The corner of Sheng Yize’s mouth twitched . “How many times do I have to tell you: don’t call me Father-in-law! I haven’t given you consent to marry my daughter!”
Si Bai pursed his lips . “But…”
“No buts . Say what you have to say, or I’ll hang up . Pepsi needs her sleep . ”
“Father-in-law, you have to promise not to get angry with me if I tell you . ” Si Bai blinked .
“Tell me . ”
Si Bai smiled . “Pepsi has already agreed to marry me . ”
Sheng Yize: !!!
“There . ” Si Bai showed him something proudly . “This is our marriage certificate!”
He had drawn it with crayons at nursery school the other day . It said “Little Bai and Pepsi are married!” over the top, which, despite the childish handwriting, looked very sincere .
Sheng Yize smirked . “You’re not going to swindle my daughter away with some random drawing!”
Si Bai pointed at a lower corner . “But Pepsi has signed it!”
Sheng Yize glanced at it and was speechless .
At the bottom of that drawing was a little handprint . Judging from its size, it could belong to no one else but his daughter Pepsi!
“We made this deal when we met last time!” Si Bai said proudly .
That brat!
Sheng Yize was very frustrated .
Pepsi went up to him and babbled at the screen .
“Brother…”
“Pepsi, good girl . Not ‘brother’ now . Call me ‘honey’!” Si Bai instructed in a serious tone .
Pepsi obeyed immediately . “Ho’ey!”
Sheng Yize pressed his hand to his chest .
Oh, what heartache .
“Good girl, Pepsi! I’ll go see you during the Spring Festival! I’ve prepared a lot of gifts for you!”
Pepsi giggled .
The two went on prattling like this for a while until Si Bai cleared his throat and said, “Now, it’s time for your milk and bed . Good night . ”
He then kissed the screen .
Sheng Yize’s eyes opened wide . Shit . Children nowadays were so good at this…
In his arms, Pepsi blew a kiss at the screen in return, then said in her baby voice, “Ho’ey… nite…”
Crack —
Sheng Yize’s heart wasn’t aching anymore . It was in pieces!
