Chapter 235: Discovering the Child's Talent

He pushed the jumbled mess he had assembled in his hands forward.

He spread his hands, indicating that he was too clumsy and couldn't put it together no matter how he tried.

Then he gestured to Shi Ran, asking her to go get Mommy; Mommy was clever and dexterous and would surely be able to put it together.

Shi Ran was happy again immediately, skipping and hopping out to find Mommy.

Shi Youxuan had just prepared to return to her room when Xiaozhu ran over quickly and threw herself into her arms: "Mommy, will you come with me to Auntie's room to build blocks? Auntie is too clumsy; I've already built several toys, and she can't build a single one."

Only then did Shi Youxuan remember she hadn't seen her daughter all afternoon, and she had been in the room building blocks the whole time?

Xiaozhu's patience was extremely poor; she had never focused on one thing for more than half an hour, and now, to be able to do only one thing for an entire afternoon and still not have had enough of it—this was a miracle to Shi Youxuan!

It was too incredible.

She couldn't believe it and asked again: "You spent the whole afternoon in the room building blocks and didn't go out to play?"

"That's right, if you don't believe me, go ask Auntie; Auntie has been with me the whole time."

Shi Youxuan didn't need to ask.

She had spent basically the entire afternoon outside chatting with Jian Yining and hadn't seen Xiaozhu.

"Let's go, Mommy will go see the blocks you built." Although she wasn't really in the mood, she still had to take care of the child.

Arriving at Alisha's room, Shi Youxuan saw the room Xiaozhu had built, the treasure box and the little car... she laughed: "You're just fooling me; if these were built by you, I'll eat them!"

Sheng Hanyu frowned; as a mother, she spoke without thinking, too rashly.

The little one wouldn't let it go, pulling on Sheng Hanyu's hand to make him testify, to prove that these were indeed built by her and no one had helped.

He nodded solemnly, then raised his hands above his head and looked up to pray to the gods.

This posture was about the same as swearing an oath in Jiangzhou.

Sheng Hanyu gave his word of honor: Shi Ran wasn't lying, it was indeed like that!

Shi Youxuan was dumbfounded.

The little one held the treasure box in her left hand and the little house in her right, presenting them to her mother with a serious face.

Her voice was milky, but the words she spoke were not cute at all: "Mommy, which one will you eat first?"

She couldn't eat either one; she took them and put them back, then pulled her daughter into her arms and started praising her: "My Xiaozhu is truly amazing. It's Mommy's fault for not discovering that Xiaozhu is so capable; Mommy apologizes to you."

Shi Ran wiggled out of her arms, not buying this act at all.

She went to get the blocks again...

Shi Youxuan looked at Alisha with a pleading gaze, putting her palms together to pray!

He had originally intended to watch the fun and see how she would wrap things up, but now he couldn't watch anymore; Shi Youxuan was begging him, and his heart softened immediately.

Sheng Hanyu pulled Shi Ran over and told her through gestures that she couldn't let Mommy eat the blocks, as eating them would kill someone.

Shi Ran was a good child, and a good child naturally couldn't let Mommy die, but not punishing her at all wouldn't do either.

The little one demanded that Mommy and Auntie accompany her to the amusement park for a day.

The Bitichong from kindergarten had been to the amusement park and talked about it so well when he came back; his lively and animated appearance had made all the children who hadn't been there very envious!

She had made this request before, but Mommy hadn't agreed.

The amusement park facilities in L Country were old, and in truth, there really wasn't anything fun about them; the equipment in the homes of the wealthy was better than that of the amusement park, it just lacked that atmosphere.

Shi Youxuan had originally wanted to take Shi Ran to Disney, but just thinking of that place would bring up a whole heap of the past she didn't want to recall.

So she didn't say anything.

Shi Ran didn't know how fun Disney was; in her heart, there was only the lively and animated look of "Bitichong" when he mentioned the amusement park, and she just wanted to go to the amusement park.

Last time Mommy didn't agree, and it just so happened that she was bringing it up again this time; it would be going too far to disagree again!

"Okay, no problem." Shi Youxuan agreed.

Shi Ran cheered: "That's great, we can go to the amusement park!"

Sheng Hanyu was also very happy, with smiles at the corners of his eyes and brows.

They say a daughter is a thoughtful little padded jacket, and it was true; she was so thoughtful, knowing how to create an opportunity for him and Shi Youxuan to be together!

He had thought the opportunity had arrived, but before he could be happy for long, a single sentence from Shi Youxuan knocked him back to hell: "Tomorrow, Godfather will go with us too, okay?"

Shi Ran had no opinion; as long as they were going, it didn't matter if there was one more person.

Besides, she also liked Godfather very much, and having one more person to accompany them was always good.

It was getting late, so Shi Youxuan returned to her room to rest, instructing them to also go to sleep early and set off first thing tomorrow morning.

After seeing the mother and daughter off, Sheng Hanyu locked the door and applied a hot towel to his face for a full five minutes before removing the Human Skin Mask from his face.

The skin in the mirror was bright red, as if it were having an allergic reaction.

He took out ointment and applied it to his face, washing it off before bed, and by tomorrow morning, it would be back to normal.

Then he would continue to wear the mask for another day, and so on, repeating the cycle!

Disguised as Alisha, Sheng Hanyu finally understood how much Shi Youxuan had suffered when she used to disguise herself as Yingzi—this thing didn't breathe very well!

No wonder Xuanxuan always used to hide from him and liked to stay by herself in her room.

Wearing this thing in front of him for a whole day was truly a torment!

It was just that now the person suffering was himself; although his skin was allergic, he was willing to endure it.

To be able to live with this mother and daughter, even if it meant he had to dress as a woman for the rest of his life and pretend to be a Yaba, he would be willing.

After applying the ointment, Sheng Hanyu took a small laptop from the interlayer of the bed, and after turning it on, two handsome faces soon appeared on the other side—Yun Zhe Hao and Sheng Zerong.

Yun Zhe Hao had already been waiting impatiently, so his words were not polite: "Young Master Sheng, have you become addicted to being a servant? How much longer until you come back? There are a pile of things at home; you can't just be an absentee manager..."

When Yun Zhe Hao started complaining, it was the kind that could last until the end of time.

Sheng Zerong knew that time was precious and hurriedly interrupted him: "Brother Hao, Brother Hao, let's talk about serious matters. Don't you know his temper? If he's unhappy and shuts you off, it'll be a long time before we can see him again."

So he shut his mouth, and Sheng Zerong sent over the documents that had already been prepared.

When he was in Prison, this was the way they communicated; others in the Prison couldn't use computers, but Sheng Hanyu could.

After he finished receiving them one by one, he prepared to turn off the computer.

"Big brother, wait a moment."

Sheng Zerong called out to stop him, a blush rising on his face as he said embarrassedly, "There is something I want to tell you, but I don't know how to bring it up..."

"It's fine," he agreed.

"Huh?"

Sheng Zerong widened his eyes, thinking to himself that he hadn't said anything yet, so how could it be "fine."

Sheng Hanyu: "If you like Yixin, then go after her. Pursue her with confidence and boldness. She is a good girl, and although she did foolish things in the past, it was all my fault. She deserves happiness."

"You are my younger brother, and she is my younger sister. I give you my blessing."

Sheng Zerong's eyes grew moist.

He had wanted to tell his big brother about this matter three years ago.

But he didn't know how to bring it up, and as a result, he waited for three years; he never expected that it would be his big brother who brought it up first.

"Big brother, do you not mind?" he finally asked the question he was most worried about and also most wanted to know the answer to.

"Silly brother, didn't I just say it? You are my younger brother, and Yixin is my younger sister. You are both my family. I am genuinely happy that the two of you can be together, and I am truly giving you my blessing."

"Thank you, big brother."

The usually steady Sheng Zerong was as happy as a child, and he turned and ran off.
