Chapter 851 - 211: Chi Linyue’s Little Niece, Xixi

Another week passed by.

During this week, Xu Lin spent four days working from home and the last three days attending classes at school.

Out of these, he spent two evenings with Ning Yuhuan and the remaining one with Rong Xiyi.

Actually, in terms of attending classes together, Rong Xiyi sat with Xu Lin all three days, so in terms of time spent together, it was much longer than with Ning Yuhuan.

Before you know it, it’s Friday afternoon again.

Getting ready for class to end.

Chi Linyue seemed to have timed it so she sent a message to Xu Lin just as the class was about to end.

"Will you come over for dinner tonight? My sister-in-law and niece are here."

"My sister-in-law’s cooking is really good."

"Are you free?"

Chi Linyue sent three messages.

"Ok, I’ll come over."

"Do you need me to pick you up at your school entrance?"

"No need, I’ll come on my own."

After school in the afternoon, Xu Lin first drove Rong Xiyi to Xia Xiyao’s school; the two of them planned to go shopping tonight.

After dropping Rong Xiyi off at her destination, Xu Lin headed straight to Chi Linyue’s complex.

He mentioned having a new ride two days ago, a motorcycle.

A BMW S1000RR, 2026 model, in white.

Landed at three hundred fifty thousand.

Very stylish.

For over three hundred thousand per unit, it’s hard not to be stylish. This amount is enough to buy an entry-level luxury four-wheeler; even if the 34c doesn’t discount, it’s still around this price.

Ms. Ren wouldn’t allow Xu Lin to ride a motorcycle, fearing he might get into an accident.

It’s known that motorcycle enthusiasts have a relatively high accident rate; getting an arm or a leg injured is considered minor.

But Xu Lin isn’t worried.

Being young is about doing youthful things, and besides, with his physique, even if there’s an accident, it shouldn’t be problematic. It’s not like being crushed by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse or hit by four wheels at high speed; Xu Lin wouldn’t be in trouble, let alone riding a motorcycle.

After six o’clock.

Xu Lin arrived at Chi Linyue’s house.

"Xu Lin, you’re here?"

"Hello Sister-in-law."

The door was opened by Chi Linyue’s sister-in-law Zhao Yingqiong, who was holding Xixi, her niece, who had just turned one.

"Yueyue said you rode a motorcycle, isn’t it cold?"

Sister-in-law asked with concern.

"Not cold, I’m quite healthy."

"And wearing so few clothes."

Zhao Yingqiong grasped Xu Lin’s sleeve.

The highest temperature today was eight degrees, most would dress warmly.

But Xu Lin wore only two pieces, a thin jacket and a short sleeve inside.

"If I were cold, my lips would likely be white; see how energetic I am?"

"Indeed."

Zhao Yingqiong felt relieved and then said to Xixi in her arms, "Xixi, call brother."

Xixi was very curious about Xu Lin, her big eyes had been focused on him.

With high parents’ looks, Xixi was very fair and cute.

"When did Xixi start talking?"

"Quite a while ago, at five months old, she could call mom, though not clearly, later she gradually started to talk."

"Then Xixi seems to be very smart growing up."

Xu Lin reached out to tease Xixi’s little face.

"Want to hold her?"

Sister-in-law said with a smile.

Xu Lin decisively took Xixi from her embrace.

"Brother."

Xixi finally spoke, curiously watching Xu Lin.

"Do you remember me? I held you a year ago."

"Remember." Xixi nodded, reaching out her small hand to touch Xu Lin’s face.

"Brother, your face is so smooth."

"Xixi’s face is smooth too."

"Is Xixi’s face smooth?"

She used both hands to touch her own face, at one year old, she spoke very fluently, clearly smart.

"Certainly, very smooth."

"But how do I feel that brother’s face is smoother than Xixi’s face?"

"That’s an illusion, Xixi’s face is smoother."

"What is an illusion?"

Beside her, Zhao Yingqiong couldn’t help but laugh, "She’s still young, some vocabulary she doesn’t understand, we often have to explain things to her."

"I see."

Xu Lin said: "Illusion means you got it wrong, Xixi’s face is smoother than brother’s face."

"But brother’s face is so smooth."

Xixi couldn’t help but touch Xu Lin’s face again.

Sister-in-law said at this point, "Xixi, mom is going to the kitchen to cook with auntie, you should listen to brother, okay?"

"Hmm, Xixi will listen to brother!"

Soon, Zhao Yingqiong went into the kitchen to cook with Chi Linyue.

Tonight there are only four of them here.

Zhao Yingqiong occasionally brings Xixi over here, but previously Xu Lin wasn’t here, had they not planned to have a meal together, Xu Lin wouldn’t have shown up.

Now, only Xu Lin and Xixi are left in the living room.

How should one take care of a child?

Peaceful Years is a few years older; when Xu Lin first met them, the two kids were already four or five years old, this year they’ve gone to primary school.

While Xixi is just one year old.

Xu Lin remembered how his dad took care of him as a child.

So Xu Lin settled onto the sofa, stretched his legs straight in the air.

"Xixi, let’s play a game, you stand on my legs, I’ll hold your hands, let’s play a game."

"What game?"

As soon as Xixi heard, she was interested.

Seeing the excitement on her face, Xu Lin realized this child was quite lively and active.

"Just follow brother, I’ll play something fun with you shortly."

"Oh! Fun!"

She exclaimed, standing shakily on Xu Lin’s legs, while Xu Lin held her hands.

Then, Xu Lin’s legs began slowly moving up and down, then gradually quickened speed, though not too fast, just slightly faster, additionally Xu Lin’s legs moved not only up and down but also left and right.

Like playing a cradle.

This rocking feeling, kids love it, and so do adults, to be honest.

"Xixi, is it fun?"

"So much fun!"

Xixi was thrilled, "Brother is amazing!"
