Chapter 371: A Happy Evening for a Family of Six! 2
Si Mingjing was also very excited and said, "Anyway, tomorrow is the weekend, and the kids don’t have to go to school. How long will the firing take?"
Mo Yinhe had a ready-to-use firing machine. By the year 2051, many technologies had made firing much simpler.
He said, "Twenty minutes."
Si Mingjing’s eyes sparkled, just like the children’s—her childlike curiosity hadn’t faded. "I’m not going to sleep!"
Twenty minutes later, the finished products emerged from the kiln. Except for Xiaobai, who hadn’t lifted a finger, everyone else felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Although Xiaobai hadn’t participated, he dashed back to his bedroom and returned, presenting a Q-version Mo Yinhe like a treasured gift.
"Jingjing, look, this is what Little Master made before. Did Little Master do a good job?"
Ye Nianbai boasted proudly; it was his best work.
Si Mingjing almost died laughing.
The Q-version Mo Yinhe that Xiaobai held was very cool, but there was a small, curled-up tail attached to its behind, like a dog’s tail.
Si Mingjing laughed heartily, asking Xiaobai, "Why does your dad have a tail?"
"Dad said he’s a loyal hound! Of course, a loyal hound should have a tail," Xiaobai asserted confidently and righteously.
Mo Yinhe’s face darkened. This little brat!
Si Mingjing arranged the figurines: a Q-version of Mo Yinhe as a loyal hound, a Q-version of herself as an adorable dragon, and four Q-version little dragon cubs, creating an eye-catching display.
Sheng Liangliang was excited to take a photo and share it on her social media feed, saying, "I want to show it to Uncle!"
"I want Uncle to see too!" Yun Xiaosu copied.
Only the chubby little Gu Shurong pouted. Why hasn’t Uncle come to take me home yet? I miss Big Brother so much! I wonder if Big Brother misses me?
At this moment on Mu Continent, Ye Jingzhe was sitting in class, his gaze occasionally drifting towards the empty seat beside him.
Gu Shurong had been gone for twenty-two days and had not yet returned!
Has he forgotten his home already?
Ye Jingzhe, Little Bingshan with his stern face, radiated a low pressure that chilled the entire classroom. Even the teacher felt that the child had been intimidatingly morose lately and dared not provoke him.
Just then, a WeChat message popped up on his phone.
With his lips pressed into a thin, cold line, Ye Jingzhe opened WeChat and saw a photo appear on the virtual keyboard in the palm of his hand.
Gu Shurong: "Big Brother! Big Brother! Does it look like me?"
Ye Jingzhe had no desire to entertain Gu Shurong, who seemed to have forgotten all about home.
Gu Shurong: "Big Brother! Big Brother! I miss you so much. Without me to feed you meat, life must be so bland, right?"
Ye Jingzhe indeed felt like something was missing from his life, making him feel very lonely, but was he the kind of child who easily showed his emotions?
Ye Jingzhe typed two icy words: "No."
Gu Shurong: "Humph, anyway, I miss Big Brother!"
Ye Jingzhe’s gloomy face softened slightly. "Are you better?"
Gu Shurong: "Of course, I’m super healthy now."
Ye Jingzhe’s expression grew lighter. "When are you coming back?"
Gu Shurong: "I’m waiting for Uncle to come pick me up~~"
Ye Jingzhe replied impatiently, "Come back soon!"
Gu Shurong wanted to continue messaging, but Mo Yinhe lifted him up. "Son, it’s time to sleep."
Mo Yinhe arranged the six small crafts in the most noticeable spot in the bedroom and tucked all the children into bed.
The three-meter-wide bed was now a bit crowded.
But the sight of the four little dragon cubs poking out their heads in unison was endearingly heartwarming.
Mo Yinhe had the four children sleep between him and Si Mingjing.
The four children seemed to sleep well, but when Mo Yinhe woke up the next morning, he found a little foot pressing on his mouth.
There was another one on his body; Little Liangliang was lying on top of him, her little head resting on his chest, drool all over his torso...
Yun Xiaosu, who overheated easily, had already climbed to the edge of the bed because it was too warm under the covers for her comfort; her little tummy was sticking out, enjoying the cool air.
Ye Nianbai’s chubby little arms were wrapped tightly around Si Mingjing’s neck, his bottom facing Mo Yinhe.
Bizarre sleeping postures, each unique.
Mo Yinhe: "..."
Si Mingjing also woke up. She felt like she couldn’t breathe because Xiaobai’s arms were wrapped around her neck. When she fully awoke, she and Mo Yinhe exchanged glances.
Mo Yinhe made a phone call. "I’ll have someone custom-make a six-meter-wide bed. This one is too small."
It couldn’t fit a family of six.
Si Mingjing strongly agreed.
She pried Xiaobai’s tender, lotus root-like arms off her, got up, and went to the bathroom. When she came back, she saw the family-of-six figurines displayed prominently in the bedroom.
Si Mingjing folded her arms, admiring the delightful sight.
She thought, Maybe I really am Bai Jiusi. Otherwise, why would Yun Yin treat Yun Xiaosu as his own niece? Yun Yin is my elder brother, and Xiaosu is his niece... That would make me Xiaosu’s mother.
Thinking of this, Si Mingjing’s heart felt warm.
Mo Yinhe’s arms wrapped around her waist from behind, drawing her into his embrace. His chin rested on her shoulder as they admired the happy family-of-six display together.
"Mingjing, I never even dreamed that I would have four children."
Even one would have been a gift from heaven. But Mingjing had given him four. He, Mo Yinhe, must have saved the Milky Way in his previous life!
Si Mingjing teased him, "Didn’t you say that all the little dragon whelps on the Mu Continent are your offspring?"
Mo Yinhe narrowed his dark eyes thoughtfully. "You’re right. Maybe I have more than four children. Mingjing, how many can your Dragon Clan have at one time?"
Si Mingjing gave him a disgusted look. "I don’t know. Anyway, my mom only had one."
"Your mom isn’t from the Dragon Clan."
That’s true; she was just a surrogate for my reincarnation.
As Si Mingjing thought about her mother’s case, the trial for which would begin in a few days, she grew very excited.
"I want to go back to A Country for a bit. Do you think we can send the entire Song Family to Prison Star once my mother’s trial begins?"
Mo Yinhe said, "Of course. Including Song Tengfei’s father, the entire family will be neatly sent to Prison Star. I’ve already spoken with Xia Man, and he’s confident we can win the lawsuit. Don’t worry, we will get revenge for your mother-in-law."
In the past, Mo Yinhe wouldn’t acknowledge Si Yao as his mother-in-law, but after investigating on Prison Star, he found out that Mingjing really had come from Si Yao’s womb.
Grateful for this, Mo Yinhe now honored Si Yao as his mother-in-law.
After thinking for a while, Si Mingjing said, "I don’t want to target Song Tengfei’s father anymore. Song Tiantian is still young and needs someone to raise her."
She had no particular feelings towards Song Tiantian, simply feeling that children were innocent. The little girl was the same age as Xiaobai and wasn’t a bad child, so she decided to spare Song Tengfei’s father.
Additionally, she wanted to use Song Tengfei’s father as a bargaining chip to force Fang Jing or Song Tengfei to reveal the mastermind.
Fang Jing loved her daughter; for her daughter’s sake, she might divulge who the mastermind was. Si Mingjing wanted to give it a try.
Mo Yinhe hugged her tightly and said, "In the past, I would have advised you to sweep them all up, root out the problem entirely to avoid future trouble. But now that I have four children, I sometimes handle things with a lot more compassion. I want to accumulate more blessings for the kids. So, just do whatever you think is right, as long as it makes you feel at peace."
Then, Mo Yinhe chuckled mischievously. "I’ll accompany you and bring the four little ones. I want to go and show off to Qinghan. That guy brags about his son on his social media feed every day. I have to let him know I have four!"
