After receiving the reward, Joy smiled shyly and ran over to hold Zhao Youlin’s hand so that she could admire the fruits of his labor.
“Mom, mom, look, this is the little snowman that I made. Isn’t It beautiful?” Joy pointed at the little snowman beside the big snowman and looked like he was asking for credit.
Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but laugh. She lowered her head and kissed Joy’s red face. She said affirmatively, “You are so great. It’s your first time making a snowman, and it turned out so beautiful. It’s amazing.”
Joy touched his little face that was kissed and giggled. He looked at the two snowmen, one big and one small, and suddenly thought of something. He let go of Zhao Youlin’s hand and rushed to Mu Tingfeng’s side.
Mu Tingfeng felt the hem of his clothes become heavier. He lowered his head and met the child’s big, watery eyes. “What’s wrong?”
Joy subconsciously turned his head and looked at Zhao Youlin. He mysteriously waved at Mu Tingfeng, asking him to squat down and have something to say.
Mu Tingfeng frowned. Although he didn’t know what the child wanted to say, he still obediently stooped down and let Joy whisper in his ear.
From afar, Zhao Youlin could see the father and son huddled together as if they were whispering something. Although she was a little curious, she still respected the two of them and didn’t immediately go forward to ask.
The father and son talked for a while and walked to the side of the big snowman and the little snowman and started to build another snowman. However, this time, they worked together to build another snowman.
Zhao Youlin did not mind it too much. She just turned her head and looked at the snowflakes that were still falling. From time to time, she would catch a few snowflakes with her hand and take a closer look to see if it was really like what Joy had said. She could not see the shape of the snowflakes, so she occupied her time peering at it.
The two of them worked quickly together. After about ten minutes, there was another snowman that was slightly smaller than the big snowman, standing next to it.
Just like before, as soon as the snowman was done, Joy ran to Zhao Youlin’s side again and pulled his finger to point at the big snowman at the beginning. “Mom, this is… dad.”
Then, he turned his finger to point at the little snowman. “This is Joy.”
Finally, he pointed at the big snowman that they had built together and said, “And this is mom!”
Zhao Youlin was stunned. She looked at the cute expression on Joy’s face as she raised her head and praised him. She couldn’t help but scratch his little nose and said, “Joy, did you forget someone else?”
“Forget someone else?” Joy was stunned. Her eyes stared at the two big and small people standing side by side and said, “Grandfather?”
Zhao Youlin shook her head. Joy’s little face fell, and the flesh on his face twisted into a ball. “Who is it?”
“Little baby, Joy, why did you forget the little baby? If the little baby knows, they would be sad.”
Joy’s eyes widened when he heard that. He quickly moved closer to Zhao Youlin’s stomach and whispered, “Don’t be sad, baby. I was wrong. I shouldn’t forget you. Don’t be angry with me.”
“Then, Joy and I will make another little snowman to apologize to the baby, okay?”
“Yes, yes!”
The two of them did as they said. Zhao Youlin was about to roll up her sleeves to join in when Mu Tingfeng grabbed her hand first. “Let me do it. It’s not convenient for you.”
After saying that, he directly took Zhao Youlin’s place and earnestly built a little snowman.
Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She complained in a low voice, “I’m pregnant, not suffering from some incurable disease that prevents me from walking. Do you have to be so…”
Before Zhao Youlin could finish her words, she felt a slight chill on her back. When she looked up, she saw Mu Tingfeng’s slightly angry eyes. She knew that her ominous metaphor just now had made Mu Tingfeng angry, so she coughed lightly and said helplessly, “Alright, alright, alright. I won’t speak any further alright? Then, let’s put it another way. I have arms and legs now, and my stomach is only this big. If you’re so nervous at a time like this, won’t you be even more nervous when my stomach gets bigger in the future? Are you going to hold my hand until the child is born?”
Mu Tingfeng didn’t say anything, as if he was confirming it silently.
Zhao Youlin rolled her eyes speechlessly. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Joy interject, “Mom, I also think it’s better for you not to play with the snow.”
Zhao Youlin choked. She couldn’t believe that her son would actually side with someone else. Er… well, Mu Tingfeng couldn’t be considered someone else.
Joy didn’t know that his words had dealt a fatal blow to his mom. He continued, “Mom, you have your hands and feet, but you still have a baby. Grandpa and grandma said that a mother who has a baby can’t run around and do dangerous things. So for the sake of the baby, mom, you shouldn’t move around.”
Joy had a mature look on his face, which was amusing to look at. Mu Tingfeng gently patted Joy’s head and praised him with his actions.
Joy touched his own head which had been patted, and chuckled. It was impossible to say how happy he was.
Zhao Youlin felt her heart hurt more and more. She stared at her son with her eyes wide open. You little heartless traitor. It has only been a short while, and you’ve already betrayed me. You even know how to team up with your father to lecture me. Are you my biological son or not?!
Zhao Youlin’s heart was devastated. She urgently needed her son’s comfort. Unfortunately, a certain little heartless person was immersed in the joy of being encouraged by his father. He did not connect to his mother’s brain waves at all, which were begging for comfort. He giggled foolishly while helping to build the snowman. He was unbelievably obedient.
Zhao Youlin was suddenly a little jealous. Looking at the father and son pair’s tacit understanding, her eyes narrowed slightly. She lowered her head and looked at the snow on the side. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes lit up mischievously.
Mu Tingfeng was focused on building the snowman when he suddenly felt a chill on his face. He was so scared that he bolted up from the ground. After he calmed down, he realized that the thing that scared him was actually… a snowball.
“Hahahaha… scared you, didn’t I?” Zhao Youlin looked at the dull expression on Mu Tingfeng’s face and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
I told you not to let me play, but I still want to play!
Mu Tingfeng was stunned for a while because of Zhao Youlin’s sneak attack. Just when Zhao Youlin thought that this person was going to be angry from embarrassment, Mu Tingfeng suddenly squatted down, picked up a pile of snow on the ground, and pinched it into a relatively small snowball, then… with a thud, he smacked Joy’s face.
Zhao Youlin, who thought that he would fire it back at her, was speechless.
Joy, who was ambushed, was speechless.
