The next day.
Sheng Yize went to play with Qi Yanxi at the Qi family home, where Qi Yanxi showed him an exquisite floral skirt. “This is a gift for Qiuqiu!”
Qiuqiu was Qi Yanxi’s deskmate in nursery school and the girl he had a crush on.
Sheng Yize played one of his hoaxes on Qi Yanxi once more. “You’re about the same height as Qiuqiu, right? You should try it on first. What if it’s too small for Qiuqiu?”
Qi Yanxi was conflicted. “But I’m a boy. Boys don’t wear skirts!”
“But they do! Look, those uncles are wearing them now!” Sheng Yize pointed at the TV screen, which was playing a documentary on Scotland and showed some men dancing in their kilts…
“Plus, it’s super comfy to climb trees in a skirt! Try it and you’ll see,” Sheng Yize said earnestly.
Qi Yanxi was persuaded. “That sounds great! But I don’t know how to put it on…”
Sheng Yize smiled innocently. “That’s ok. I can help you with that.”
“You’re so nice, Sheng Yize!”
Sheng Yize took off Qi Yanxi’s trousers for him, then after much tugging and twisting, the two boys finally managed to put the skirt on Qi Yanxi, who twirled, enjoying the cool breeze brushing against his buttocks and finding it much more comfortable than pants.
“Wow! Skirts are really convenient!” Qi Yanxi was over the moon. “I’m going to climb the tree now!”
Taking out his child cell phone unhurriedly, Sheng Yize recorded the entire process of Qi Yanxi climbing up a tree.
He then sent a group message.
As expected, Qiuqiu was in the group.
–
Hence, everyone learned about Qi Yanxi’s hobby of wearing floral skirts…
Qi Yanxi had no idea what was going on behind his back, and was surprised when Qiuqiu turned him down when he gave her the skirt. “I can’t take it…”
“Why not? You’ll look great in it!” Qiuqiu must look as nice as Auntie Mianmian after putting it on, thought Qi Yanxi happily.
Qiuqiu said, “Keep it yourself!” She ran away after that.
Sheng Yize strolled toward him and Qi Yanxi asked dumbly, “Why did Qiuqiu run away?”
“Maybe she was mad… because you look prettier in a skirt than her.”
“Why would she know that?!” Flower Qi was utterly baffled.
“Because I sent her a video! Hahaha!” Sheng Yize laughed and ran away. “Bite me! Hahaha!”
He yelled as he ran, “Since you like floral skirts so much, I’m going to call you Flower Qi!”
Flower Qi chased him with a tear-streaked face and a runny nose. “You’re so evil! I bet you have a black heart! I’m going to call you Blacky!”
Sheng Yize snorted. “I’m much fairer than you.”
“You’re black! Bad Blacky!”
“Stupid Flower! You stink!”
“Rawr! I’ll bite your head off…”
The two boys quarreled and fought nosily, and in the end, the simple Flower Qi was no match for the scheming Blacky Sheng, who straddled him and pinched his face for fun.
“Hahaha! Dumb Flower Qi!”
“Sob…” Feeling humiliated, Flower Qi burst into loud sobs.
Blacky Sheng stopped and frowned. “Aren’t you too old to cry?”
“Waa…” Flower Qi only cried louder. “My dear Qiuqiu…”
“Fine, fine. I’ll get her back for you.”
The crying stopped abruptly. “Really?”
“Yes!”
A moment later, Qiuqiu went up to them with an exquisite case and said to Sheng Yize, “Yize, my mother made these cookies herself. These are for you!”
Flower Qi’s mouth fell open.
