Chapter 238 - Move Back
Xiaosi bent on his knees and his hands slightly shook as he placed them on her little shoulders.
Chyou's lips puckered into a pout. "Dada! Why were you away for so long? You didn't tell Chyou!"
Caihong smiled. "Chyou, I told you, right? Dada had a business trip."
She was saddened. "But I missed Dada! Dada never go without telling me."
She faced him and put her hand on her waist with a hint of accusation in her black eyes. "Dada. This is bad!"
Xiaosi faintly smiled. "I...I am sorry."
"Hmph!"
Xiaosi got a little anxious. "I am really sorry. I won't go anywhere like this next time."
Chyou pursed her lips. "Promise? Pinky promise?"
She raised her hand and brought her little finger up. Xiaosi slowly touched it with his and smiled. "I promise."
Chyou brightened and jumped into her hug. Xiaosi froze for a few moments. An overwhelming sense of joy filled his heart with the little dumpling's hug. He hesitated but then slowly hugged her. He patted her back and softly smiled.
She eagerly hopped as she asked, "Dada, Dada where are my gifts?"
"Gifts?"
"En! Dada always bring me gifts from trip!"
"Umm…"
He worriedly looked up at Caihong and she nodded. "Ah, Chyou. This time Xiaosi doesn't have-"
"Of course he has brought a lot of gifts for his angel!"
Jack Si stepped in, carrying many paper bags in his hands. Caihong was surprised. "What are these?"
He smiled and whispered. "Actually, these are gifts that I brought for you all. But Xiaosi can save himself with this. Otherwise, our little angel will get disappointed."
She quickly said, "No, no. How can we-"
"Come on sister-in-law. No need for formalities. Xiaosi and I are like brothers. Whether he gives or I do, it's the same thing."
"Thank you so much," she appreciated his gesture.
Xiaosi said, "Indeed, thank you so much," he nodded.
"Haha! Of course."
Chyou curiously looked at the stranger who entered. Her gaze beamed as she was fascinated to see his blonde hair and bluish-grey eyes.
"Hero!" She pointed her finger at him. "You are the hero from the movie!"
Caihong smiled. "I think she saw some Hollywood movie recently. Though she didn't understand the language that much, she insisted on watching. The hero was a blond-haired and blue-eyed man just like you."
Jack Si beamed. "Oh!"
He chuckled as he looked down at her. He kept his palms on his knees and lowered at her level. "I am honored by the compliment dear."
Chyou was mesmerized by his bluish-grey eyes and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.
Xiaosi twitched upon seeing the reaction.
Jack Si brought his hand forward and smiled. "Greetings, Princess Chyou. I am Jack Si, your father's good friend. I have heard a lot about you and I finally got to meet you today."
Chyou blushed even more seeing his handsome face so up close. Particularly, his breathtaking eyes were too much for her small heart to handle.
"I-I am Chyou. Hello."
She shyly shook his hand.
Jack Si chuckled.
Xiaosi pursed his lips and cleared his throat. "Chyou, won't you see the gifts Dada bought for you?"
Caihong raised her brow and shook her head helplessly.
Chyou eagerly jumped up and down. "En! Gifts! Gifts!"
"Yes, yes we will see the gifts later. But Xiaosi needs rest now. It was a long trip, right?"
He nodded.
Chyou tugged Jack Si's coat and asked, "Uncle will stay here too?"
There was hope and expectations in her eyes.
Jack Si ruffled her head. "Haha. No, dear. Your Dada is tired so I just dropped by to help him."
Her face fell and her shoulders drooped in sadness.
Caihong said, "There is no hurry, Jack Si. Stay the night here. I also want to thank you with a good meal."
Xiaosi grimaced.
Why did he feel that Jack Si was taking his spot?
Why is Chyou so smitten by him? He grumbled.
Jack Si thought about it. "Then sorry for the intrusion. I will be happy to eat a meal made by you! And I will get to play with Chyou too!"
Chyou brightened. "Yayyyy!!!"
---
Caihong and Jack Si helped Xiaosi in his room. He was still a little tired and drowsy from all the medicines.
She opened the cupboard and took out some fresh clothes for him. Xiaosi craned his neck and blinked his eyes. "Are those all my clothes?"
"Yes," Caihong said without turning back.
"But then where are yours?"
Caihong froze. Jack Si slightly widened his eyes and coughed.
She slowly turned. He asked, "Shouldn't there be your clothes too? This is our room, right?" He looked around and said, "Now that I take a look, I don't see your things here."
"Um…"
Until now Caihong stayed in a different room than him, so all of her necessities were over there.
What should I tell him? She panicked slightly.
Jack Si came to the rescue. "Don't blame my sister-in-law. It's your fault."
Xiaosi was taken aback. "My fault?"
"En! You don't remember it, but you two had a fight. You told me about how she changed rooms because she was really mad at you."
Caihong quickly nodded. "Yes, yes. That's why my clothes aren't here."
"Oh...what did we fight about?" He asked.
"..."
"Um…" she looked at Jack Si again for help.
He sobbed.
I don't know what to say!
"Who cares about the reason? Lovey-dovey couples have arguments all the time. Sister-in-law doesn't even remember it now haha…"
"Y-Yes. I don't remember."
Xiaosi seriously said, "I see. I don't know what the argument was about, but I apologize. I will never fight with you again."
His expression was so sincere that it moved her heart. She also felt guilty for making him apologize for an imaginary fight.
"En…"
Xiaosi softly smiled. "So if you are not mad at me anymore, will you move back here?"
Caihong coughed hard. Her face turned crimson.
Sharing a room with Xiaosi…
In all this hassle, the thought never really crossed her mind.
Jack Si craftily smiled. "Of course! Sister-in-law has a big heart. She has already forgiven you, so she will definitely move back here."
Caihong slowly nodded in a robotic motion. "Yes, I will move back."
