Li Sicheng smiled, carried the little girl, and walked toward the room of the kids. Su Qianci zipped herself up in the back and then was amused by her daughter’s look. Watching the father and daughter leaving, her cheeks burned even more. The surprise she had prepared for him was not yet presented.
Almost, she thought she couldn’t get it out. But it turned out they were interrupted by the little girl. Might this be a blessing in disguise? With a sultry smile, her face was getting redder.
——————————
When Li Sicheng took Li Jianyue to the children’s room, he saw a large and tall building block tower as soon as he entered. These blocks were all solid wood blocks that he had bought for Li Jianqian, and many adults also enjoyed playing this game.
When Li Sicheng walked in, he was surprised. The building blocks were piled high, just as tall as Li Jianqian’s height! The inside of the tower was hollow, and there were gaps in between. The tower was round in shape. However, the bottom three or four floors were airtight. When the tower got higher, the distance between the blocks was slowly increased. Each piece of block was only about 1 inch wide, and it was placed horizontally layer by layer, so there were at least several hundred of them.
Li Jianqian and Li Mosen both looked a little excited. When they put the last piece on the top, and the whole tower shook a little. But it was just a slight sway. After a moment, it became steady. It looked very tall, but very stable at the same time. It was placed on the edge of the small bed, just next to the girl’s bed.
“Wow!” Li Jianyue seemed to have forgotten why she had called his father over. Staring at the tall tower, her little face was full of worship. “So impressive! It’s so tall.” Then she wanted to come down.
Li Sicheng put the little girl down, but Li Jianqian and Li Mosen immediately felt a sense of crisis, and shouted at the same time, “Don’t come over!”
Li Jianyue was scared by them and looked at them, dumbstruck. Li Jianqian and Li Mosen both carefully guarded the tall tower of building block, for fear that Li Jianyue would come up and bring damage.
“Dad…” Li Jianyue pouted, looked at Li Sicheng behind her, and cried again.
Li Sicheng held Li Jianyue in his arms, sat on the side of the bed and asked, “Is this done by the two of you?”
“Yes!” Li Mosen looked at Li Sicheng, his eyes sparkling. He said, “Dasu and I made it. It’s very good, right?” Li Jianqian was also somewhat expectant, watching Li Sicheng with a blush, waiting for his comments.
“Not bad, but the next time you play, remember to teach your sister how to play. Now, it’s time for bed. Get in your bed right now!”
Li Mosen and Li Jianqian heard the words and immediately climbed up to their beds, covering their heads with blankets.
Li Jianyue saw this and gazed at the tower with her pair of big eyes, wanting to go forward and touch it. Li Jianqian perceived her sister’s gaze and warned, “Don’t touch it. It will fall!”
“Cheapskate!” Li Jianyue came down from Li Sicheng’s arms, climbed to her own small bed, and looked at the building blocks with desire.
Li Sicheng chuckled said with a straight face, “Remember to play with your sister next time. You hear me?”
“Okay!” Li Jianqian answered and covered his head with a blanket.
Li Sicheng stood up and closed the door, but before the door was closed, he heard the screaming inside. Hearing this voice, Li Sicheng immediately felt more helpless.
Kids, happy nights are always short…
