It was Saturday and the two little fellows did not need to go to school.
Last week, Fang Zikai pestered Qiao Jiusheng to bring them to the aquarium to play. Since Fang Yusheng was unemployed, it depended on when Qiao Jiusheng was free. Qiao Jiusheng had been carving a jade figurine that a customer had ordered a few days ago. She had just finished it and wanted to rest for a few days.
She planned to bring the children to the aquarium today.
After waking up in the morning, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng went for a run. After the run, they would eat breakfast before going to the aquarium. Sometimes, they would run inside the villa manor, and sometimes, they would run out of the villa district and run along the street. This morning, the two of them planned to run outside.
They were wearing sportswear and were about to leave when the two little fellows suddenly stopped them.
“We’re going for a run too.”
Fang Zikai pulled Fang Zicheng along. The two of them were wearing sports shoes and sportswear. They were good-looking and looked especially cute when they stood together.
Fang Yusheng did not want to bring the two burdens along, but Qiao Jiusheng nodded in agreement.
“You’re still young. You can’t run too far. How about this? If you can’t run anymore, walk slowly.”
“Okay.”
As they were carrying two burdens, if Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng ran, they would definitely not be able to keep up. Hence, they chose to walk briskly, and the two children ran and chased after them. There were five kilometers between Mansion Number Nine and the villa district.
When they reached the entrance, the two little fellows could not run anymore.
“No, no, run. Brother and I will wait for you here.”
Fang Zikai was the first to admit defeat.
Fang Zicheng also stopped, his face a little red.
Qiao Jiusheng wanted to place the children in the guard room, but Fang Yusheng said, “Let’s eat breakfast outside this morning. I’ve eaten breakfast at that place before. It tastes good and it’s quite clean.”
As he spoke, Fang Yusheng pointed at the breakfast shop.
The name of the breakfast shop stood out. It was called Roly Poly’s breakfast shop.
Qiao Jiusheng brought the children over and sized up the shop.
Most of the shops at the entrance of Dragon Harbor were decorated elegantly and exquisitely. Only this shop was practical. There was a white wall in the room and a huge painting on the wall. There was only one sentence on the painting—
Who knew that eating Chinese food was hard work?
It was especially down-to-earth and reflected the boss’s personality.
Qiao Jiusheng saw that Fang Yusheng was especially at ease as he said to the boss, “Boss Lu, I’ll leave the children with you. I’ll come and collect them later. Watch and serve them some breakfast. The one with the green eyes is my elder son. His digestive system hasn’t been good recently. Don’t give him meat buns.”
Boss Lu turned around and looked at the two children. He was extremely busy. He closed the lid of the steamer and washed his hands before continuing to wrap the buns. As he wrapped the buns, he spoke to Fang Yusheng. “I’ve seen these two children a few times. I didn’t expect them to be your children, Mr. Fang.”
“Hey, you’re really good-looking. Look, you’re like a doll.” As he spoke, he made two buns. Boss Lu could make dumplings with his eyes closed.
Qiao Jiusheng was choosing breakfast while Fang Yusheng poured water for the children. Upon hearing this, he turned around and said to Boss Lu, “I have no choice. The genes are good.”
These words deserved a beating.
Boss Lu was wearing a mask and laughed out loud.
He was a straightforward person and paid special attention to hygiene when he did things, so everyone loved to come to his place for breakfast. He opened a shop here and made many friends with the rich people. Although he did not have money, his forthright and upright personality made these rich people like him.
After laughing, Boss Lu joked, “These two children will be amazing when they grow up. They will definitely flirt with many girls.”
Fang Yusheng said, “If they dare to flirt, I’ll break their legs.”
“Haha!”
Qiao Jiusheng chose breakfast and brought it to Fang Zicheng and the rest.
“Thank you, Mom.”
The two little fellows thanked Qiao Jiusheng.
Qiao Jiusheng also told Boss Lu, “Boss Lu, please help us take care of the children. Sorry to trouble you.”
“It’s fine.”
As soon as the two of them left, Boss Lu’s wife walked out of the small house behind them. She was carrying a bag of flour, and behind her was a delicate little girl. The girl was wearing a white knitted sweater, and her hair was cut short. She wore white boots and followed her mother obediently.
The young lady saw two children in the shop. Seeing that they were good-looking, she could not help but take a few more glances.
Fang Zikai unintentionally tilted his head and saw the young lady. His eyes lit up.
“Huh? You’re Boss Lu’s daughter?”
The child nodded. She stood at the same spot for a moment before walking towards Fang Zikai and the rest. The little girl was about their height. She tiptoed, climbed onto the stool, and stared at the two of them. Fang Zicheng lowered his head and ate, not looking at the little girl at all.
Fang Zikai was talkative and cheerful. Without waiting for the little girl to ask, he said, “We’re twins. We look the same.”
“Ohhh.”
The little girl asked Fang Zikai, “You’re the older brother?”
“I’m the younger brother.”
“Oh.”
The little girl stared at Fang Zicheng again. She was not afraid of Fang Zicheng’s cold attitude. She even asked Fang Zicheng, “Why are your eyes green?”
Fang Zicheng was stunned.
He was a little surprised that this girl dared to talk to him. Fang Zicheng looked at the girl coldly and said, “God gave them to me.”
The girl might be younger than them. When she heard this, she asked innocently, “God gave birth to you?”
Fang Zicheng was stunned again.
He understood what the girl meant and subconsciously said, “No, my mother gave birth to me.” After saying that, Fang Zicheng felt that what she said was especially silly. After a moment of silence, he explained, “My eyes look like my father’s.”
When Fang Zicheng said that, the girl understood.
Fang Zikai suddenly asked the girl, “How old are you?”
“Two years old.”
“What’s your name?”
“Yinxi,” the little girl said, holding up her fingers. “Yinxi, Lu Yinxi.” She pointed at Boss Lu and said, “Dad said that this name is nice. There’s a famous painting featuring an elk drinking from a stream. My father likes that painting, so he named me after it.” This sentence was a little long, and Lu Yinxi said it with difficulty.
Fang Zikai nodded and said, “My name is Fang Zikai. My brother’s name is Fang Zicheng. Our names were…”
At this point, he was suddenly stunned. Fang Zikai hit his brother’s hand and asked, “Where did we get our names from?”
Fang Zicheng said, “They were blindly selected.”
Fang Zikai immediately felt that their names were very lowly.
After the brothers finished their meal, Qiao Jiusheng and the rest had yet to return. They chatted with Lu Yinxi for a while longer. Seeing Fang Yusheng coming back, Fang Zikai said goodbye to Lu Yinxi. “We’re going back.”
“Oh, okay.”
The little girl waved her hand and said, “Bye, Fang Zikai.” She said to Fang Zicheng, “Bye, Fang Zicheng.”
“Bye,” Fang Zikai said.
Fang Zicheng hesitated for a moment before bidding farewell dryly.
