Chapter 361 - Stopped (1/2)
Ling Sheng was agitated by the primary school comments. 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 accompany 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 accompany him to the amusement park that day. Who knew that she would not be able to come 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?”
