Song Song quickly got out of bed to drink a few sips of water, and soon felt much better. She thought it might be because she ate too quickly earlier and choked a bit.
This time, Xiao Jinghuai went to the United States on a business trip, just as Xiao Beibei had said, it would be at least a week, or as long as a month.
It had been more than half a month since their last video call, and he still hadn’t returned from the United States.
Song Song had been quite busy during this time, helping Zhou Yunxian prepare for the "Master Chef" event, so she didn’t have much time to think about him; everyone was busy with their own things, which was just fine.
On Friday during dinner time, Xiao Beibei was swinging his little short legs, eating rice from his small bowl and deliberately making a loud smacking sound to get Song Song’s attention.
"Little Song, look at me! What have you been busy with for these past ten days?"
Song Song glanced at the materials Zhou Yunxian had just given her, looked up at Beibei, then looked down again and said, "A cooking competition. It’s almost done!"
Beibei was puzzled, "Wasn’t your competition stopped by Dad?"
"That’s why we’re starting it over again!"
"We?" Beibei caught the key point immediately, "Who else?"
"An uncle and an aunt."
Song Song finished reading the material and then smiled, "We’re in the final stage now, it feels like such an achievement!"
"Hey, why are you eating so slowly today? You haven’t finished yet?"
Seeing that Beibei’s bowl still had a lot of rice, Song Song couldn’t help but ask.
Beibei was feeling very suffocated inside, originally thinking that she was too busy to spend time with him, but now knowing she was with some unknown uncle.
"Little Song, I don’t want to eat by myself. Can you feed me? If you feed me, I’ll feel like the rice is delicious. Otherwise, I can’t eat and might go hungry..."
Song Song knew this little guy was starting to act cute again, but what could she do! She just couldn’t resist this kind of banter.
She could only pick up his special small bowl and feed him spoon by spoon, "Beibei, you’re a boy, you can’t always act cute towards me!"
"I know, which is why I only act cute towards you!"
Song Song: "..."
Well, she had to give that answer a perfect score.
"Dad hasn’t come back in more than half a month. I’m starting to dislike him a bit for leaving the two of us here. As an elder, he should take care of us juniors, right?"
"Uh, right..."
Song Song felt a bit helpless. The little guy always liked to consider her as being in the same generation as him.
"Little Song, tomorrow is Saturday. Take me out to play! Can we go eat KFC together?"
"Tomorrow!" Song Song seemed a bit trouble, "I have something to do tomorrow, and I’ll be very busy, so I can’t take you out. How about the day after tomorrow?"
Xiao Beibei was a bit unhappy, pouting, "Are you going to see that uncle again?"
"Yes! I have to spend the whole day with him tomorrow, but I will come back to have dinner with you..."
After spending some time together recently, she found that she and Zhou Yunxian had many similar ideas. For instance, he didn’t like using culinary skills to achieve certain goals, only enjoying doing it purely.
Moreover, he was a very genuine person, seemingly easy to understand at a glance, without requiring her to think too much.
She felt he was a friend worth having, so her initial reservation was gone, and the two of them got along quite well.
But, unbeknownst to her, upon hearing this, the little guy was very displeased, his little pout almost piercing the sky.
At night, Song Song was already sound asleep beside Beibei, even snoring lightly...
Beibei quietly got out of bed, moved the computer to the corner of the room, and connected online with someone far away in the United States.
As soon as the connection was made, he said, "Dad, come back quickly, or Little Song is going to be taken away by someone else."
