Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 154 Slide, Child, Mother, Dog

"Sui Sui, who is your favorite person?"

In a daze, another voice sounded in my mind: [Host, who is your favorite person?]

Shi Sui's long eyelashes drooped, her eyes fixed on the sweet cake.

Without hesitation, she devoured it in one bite: "I love cake the most."

Pei Shuoxun watched her eat the cake obediently, like an innocent little kitten, and he really wanted to raise her to be someone who could never leave him.

I want to know the answer, but I don't dare to ask.

He was afraid of hearing another person's name from her.

His perceived chances of winning crumbled upon hearing the name of the person hidden in her heart.

……

The system thought for a moment and realized that since it had chosen the cake, the host must like it the most.

As the cake was eaten bite by bite, Shi Sui squinted her eyes contentedly, but she felt like she had forgotten something. What was she planning to do before eating the cake?

Her gaze swept around and finally settled on Pei Shuoxun, vaguely remembering what she was supposed to do to him.

Their eyes met, and an undercurrent of tension swirled in the air.

Shi Sui blinked and pointed to the cake on the coffee table: "Chen Xun, it's your birthday today, you have to eat cake too."

Pei Shuoxun breathed a sigh of relief; he had almost thought she was going to hit him.

"I'll cut you some cake too!" Shi Sui picked up the knife, waved it around, twirled it, and played with it...

Pei Shuoxun watched her play with the knife warily. Ten minutes later, when she ran out of tricks, Shi Sui finally started to cut the cake. But before the knife even touched the cake, she put it aside again.

"I won't cut it," Shi Sui decided.

She picked up the cake with one hand, brought it close to Pei Shuoxun, and smiled, "Chen Xun, let me feed you cake!"

Looking into her bright eyes, Pei Shuoxun judged that she was absolutely harmless tonight, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Okay."

She's so proactive and enthusiastic; he really likes her.

Shi Sui glanced at the fork in her hand, put it aside, picked up the knife on the other side, and scooped out a large piece of cake.

Her eyes were bright yet dreamy, and she smiled happily: "The cake is here!"

Pei Shuoxun then saw the cake and knife flying rapidly toward his mouth.

This piece of cake was bigger than his mouth.

But if he didn't open his mouth, he was sure Shi Sui would cut his mouth open with a knife.

Pei Shuoxun opened his mouth and it was stuffed full of cream, chiffon cake, and cherries, with too much cream even sticking to his lips.

Shi Sui watched him patiently as he finished tasting the cake, then asked him expectantly, "Was it delicious?"

Pei Shuoxun licked the cream from the corner of his lips and smiled indulgently: "Delicious."

Shi Sui laughed along with him and scooped out a large piece of cake with a knife: "We can't waste it—we have to eat it all."

……

What level of skill does it take for someone to finish an almost eight-inch cake?

At this moment, Pei Shuoxun was extremely grateful to Song Xinying for not ordering a ten-inch cake.

Although he was happy to be fed, he really didn't like sweets.

After Shi Sui finished playing the cake-feeding game, she spotted a treadmill with her sharp eyes.

I ran and ran on the fastest mountain climbing mode, then played on the fitness equipment. My boundless energy was almost completely depleted, so I lay on the sofa in a daze.

Images of a slide, a child, a mother, and a dog flashed through her mind...

Pei Shuoxun tidied the coffee table, took out the trash, and picked up the package.

"Are you going to rest?" he asked.

Shi Sui nodded with her eyes half-closed, still seemingly a little dazed.

She didn't know it was the cherry cake that was the culprit; the cream with rum was sweet but contained alcohol.

Pei Shuoxun approached: "Go take a shower first."

"Ok."

Before Shi Sui could get up from the sofa, the boy's presence enveloped her. He lifted her up with one hand on her back and the other around her knees, carrying her into the bathroom.

Shi Sui swung her legs, suddenly finding the feeling of being held in the air quite fun.

Then he was placed on the washbasin, his feet dangling in the air, and made to keep swinging his legs.

"I'll brush your teeth."

Pei Shuoxun took out his newly bought toothbrush, squeezed on toothpaste, and filled the wash cup with warm water.

The toothpaste looks like a transparent pink crystal, bling bling and sparkly with star-like glitter.

Pei Shuoxun handed over a mouthwash cup and said softly, "Rinse your mouth first."

Shi Sui obediently did as she was told.

"Open your mouth, I'll brush your teeth."

Shi Sui stared at the pink toothpaste until it got closer and closer before obediently opening her mouth.

A very standard Bass brushing technique.

Brushing her teeth definitely took more than three minutes. Shi Sui, whose patience had been exhausted, frowned and said, "It's just brushing your teeth, why are you so slow?"

She jumped off the sink, turned her back to him, and splashed water on her face: "Okay, I've washed my face!"

Then she turned around, tilted her head back, her eyes curving into beautiful arcs, and blinked expectantly at him.

He had a pleading expression on his face, as if he wanted praise.

Pei Shuoxun had already guessed Shi Sui's various unusual behaviors, so he let him hold him without resisting, feeding him cake, brushing his teeth... and even when he was kissed, he was obedient.

She's treating herself like a child coming home.

Pei Shuoxun took out a washcloth and gently wiped the water droplets from her face: "I like Sui Sui the most."

Upon hearing the word 'like', Shi Sui was visibly stunned for a moment, but her mind was blank, and she couldn't figure out why she was in a daze.

Pei Shuoxun put a fluffy headband on her, tied her hair up, and led her to the bathtub: "It's time to take a bath."

The heated bathtub was already filled with warm water, and little ducks, whales, and submarines were floating on top...

Shi Sui caught a small octopus, squeezed it, and found it soft and squeaky.

They also caught ducklings.

They also caught small whales.

……

Seeing that Shi Sui was about to scoop all the bath toys out to play with, Pei Shuoxun's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and a cryptic smile appeared on his lips: "You're going to play with them in the bathtub."

Shi Sui put the small toy back in the bathtub and turned her head to look at him.

The boy raised his long, slender fingers and hooked them around her collar, as if something was pulling him down, his dark eyes thick and unyielding.

"Okay, I can take a bath by myself!" Shi Sui pushed him away. "You go outside and wait for me!"

Being able to bathe oneself is something to be proud of for a child.

Pei Shuoxun stumbled as he was pushed, his black hair slightly disheveled, and he tilted his head to look at her.

Desire and reason were intertwined, but when those clear yet hazy eyes looked over, reason ultimately prevailed.

Clench your fingers and then release them.

He picked up a basket and walked over: "This is a bath sponge, it will create rainbow colors when you throw it in the water, this is bubble bath liquid, it will create lots of bubbles when you spray it with the shower head, this is a bath towel... this is pajamas..."

Shi Sui rubbed her ears, feeling that he was being so long-winded. Everyone knows what pajamas are, so why did he have to teach her how to wear them?!

But it seems that—a mother is supposed to nag.

So he listened to him very patiently until he finished speaking before kicking him out.

As I was taking off my clothes, my phone slipped out of my pants pocket with a 'thud'.

Shi Sui picked up the phone and placed it on the bathtub shelf.

Then I lay down in the bathtub, put in a bath sponge, and the rainbow slowly emerged. After the rainbow mixed into a strange light blue, I used bubble bath liquid to create a bath full of bubbles.

The fishing toys were lined up on the shelf, and Shi Sui noticed the phone.

She opened WeChat and saw a lot of messages from the person at the very top. Without looking at them first, Shi Sui checked Song Xinying's messages.

[Sui Sui, have you arrived at school yet?]

What is your relationship with Pei Shuoxun? Is he your brother?

Shi Sui thought it over and replied.

[I'm home!]

Pei Shuoxun is not my brother.

[She is my mother!]

After replying, Shi Sui checked the other unread messages and browsed through Chi Yan's one-sided chat history.

There were so many messages, but to put it simply, they were all just "[Where are you?][I miss you]", interspersed with various cute emojis.

Shi Sui thought it over and replied.

[I am at home.]

[(I stole a cute emoji)]

I don't miss you.

Almost the instant the message was sent, a voice call came in.

"Shi Sui, where are you?" The boy's voice came from the phone, slightly low and hoarse.

"I'm at home, what's wrong?"

"I want to see you."

"Then hang up."

"?" How heartless she is!

"I'll video call you."

"!" Her voice was so sweet, so sweet, (I was dizzy with sweetness) (I got up) (I hugged her tightly) (I spun her around).
