Back at the Gao family home, Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong were not around, so Xia Xiao went straight to the kitchen, followed closely by Feiyang and Feiyue as if they were little tails, still seeming cautious about Jiaxing getting too close. Jiaxing was speechless, the two little ones were guarding against him. Breakfast had been made by Zheng Xianghong, who had also left more than half a pot of chicken soup. Holding a spoon, Xia Xiao scooped some up and said to the entering Jiaxing, "There’s still quite a lot left, it seems like mom and dad didn’t eat much." Thinking about this, Xia Xiao realized that since Jiaxing had returned, she should also notify Jiazhi on the other side; she then suggested, "I’ll make some vegetable porridge. After we eat breakfast, let’s all go to the school and ask big brother and sister-in-law to come home for a meal." Remembering that Xia Jing had given birth, Zheng Xianghong had slaughtered the only chicken that laid eggs at home. Xia Xiao felt somewhat guilty, even though it might have been because Jiaxing had come back. But Zheng Xianghong had cooked chicken soup early in the morning to take to Xia Jing, which deeply moved Xia Xiao. "Okay," Jiaxing nodded. Xia Xiao then cooked the vegetable porridge with the chicken soup and took out some chicken pieces, giving one to Jiaxing and dividing two among the kids. Jiaxing said, "You eat, I won’t." Xia Xiao shook her head, "You eat. What are you handing it over for? There’s still more in the pot. If I wanted some, I wouldn’t take it from the pot." "Then take it from the pot," Jiaxing said. "But I don’t feel like eating right now; let’s wait and eat tonight with big brother and sister-in-law," replied Xia Xiao, adding, "I have plenty of meat at home, eat it quickly. It’s silly to keep pushing this piece of meat back and forth." Now two years old, Feiyang and Feiyue could already feed themselves porridge with a spoon, so Xia Xiao let them eat by themselves. Jiaxing watched his two sons do this, amazed, "They can eat on their own at such a young age?" Xia Xiao was proud, "Naturally. You should see who taught them." Zheng Xianghong and Guoqiang, who doted on their grandchildren, always liked to feed them, fearing they couldn’t eat by themselves and might waste food. Still, it was Xia Xiao who insisted Feiyang and Feiyue eat by themselves, and now the two kids had gotten used to it and had learned to eat on their own. "Mom eat," Feiyang extended a spoonful of porridge to Xia Xiao’s mouth. "Mom won’t eat, you eat," Xia Xiao smiled gently. Feiyang stubbornly insisted, "Mom eat." "Mom eat," Feiyue also stretched a spoon forward. Xia Xiao pretended to eat by touching the spoons, and the two kids continued eating. "Which one is Feiyang and which one is Feiyue?" Jiaxing looked at the two kids, unsure who was the eldest and who was the youngest. Hearing Jiaxing speak, Feiyang and Feiyue immediately became alert, clinging close to Xia Xiao, their little faces both serious and wary. Xia Xiao chuckled, caressing Feiyang and Feiyue’s heads, "This is dad, Feiyang’s dad, and Feiyue’s dad." Unfortunately, the children didn’t understand yet, despite Xia Xiao having shown them Jiaxing’s photos. But now Jiaxing looked so much darker than in the photos. "Take it slowly, no rush," Jiaxing also felt heartache, but knew haste wouldn’t help. After the family had eaten, Jiaxing and Xia Xiao took the kids first to the big dining hall to see Zheng Xianghong, and told her they were going to the school to pick up Jiazhi. Zheng Xianghong’s smile deepened upon hearing this, repeatedly expressing her approval. Leaving the big dining hall, Xia Xiao also visited Xia Jing and brought her some chicken soup porridge before heading to the school with Jiaxing and the kids. The school was neither far nor near, requiring a walk of about twenty to thirty minutes. The kids, knowing they were going out, were thrilled and bounced ahead. Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing watched closely from behind. Suddenly, Feiyue collided with Feiyang, and both children fell to the ground, crying loudly. Gao Jiaxing’s heart immediately ached, and he rushed forward like an arrow to pick up the children. Xia Xiao said, "It’s okay, let them get up by themselves." "They are in pain, they’re crying," Gao Jiaxing said. Xia Xiao laughed, "They’re crying on purpose, just waiting for a comforting hug." "Mommy, hug, Mommy, hug." Feiyang and Feiyue came to Xia Xiao for comfort. "Okay, Mommy hug, Feiyang and Feiyue are so good." Xia Xiao kissed each child on the face. Gao Jiaxing’s eyes deepened, and he felt a bit envious of his two sons. Xia Xiao then stood up and said, "Let’s go." But Feiyang and Feiyue didn’t want to leave, wanting to be held. Now that both children were two years old, it was manageable to carry them a few steps, but definitely not for a long walk. "Let Daddy carry you, Daddy is a bit stronger," Xia Xiao suggested, pointing to Gao Jiaxing. Feiyang and Feiyue, however, didn’t want to, and Xia Xiao had no choice but to lift Feiyang and place him in Gao Jiaxing’s arms, then she picked up Feiyue herself. Feiyang initially resisted, but Gao Jiaxing let him ride on his neck, which Feiyang liked because Guoqiang often did the same. Soon after, Feiyang’s giggling could be heard. Xia Xiao raised an eyebrow as she hadn’t expected Gao Jiaxing to be so good with kids. She had been worried that the children wouldn’t accept their father so quickly, but now she was relieved. After carrying Feiyue for a while, Xia Xiao got a bit tired and stopped. Gao Jiaxing came over, took Feiyang off his neck, and then picked up Feiyue with one arm. Xia Xiao smiled and said, "Let them walk for a bit." "It’s fine, I’ll carry them." Gao Jiaxing had just gotten the chance to bond with the children and wasn’t ready to let go. Moreover, Feiyang and Feiyue, once carried, refused to walk. Now, they had lost their initial wariness toward Gao Jiaxing. It was unclear whether it was the father-son instinct, but as Gao Jiaxing jogged slowly with the children, the two kids were smiling happily. Xia Xiao, jogging alongside, smiled as their laughter filled the path, a family of four in perfect harmony. Upon reaching the school, Gao Jiazhi and Sun Yuhua were still teaching classes, and Weilin, now four years old, was also in the classroom listening to a lecture. Moreover, Weilin was very bright and had come first in the class test, clearly showing that Gao Jiazhi and Sun Yuhua were dedicated to their daughter’s education. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍 "Auntie!" As soon as the class ended, Weilin, seeing Xia Xiao coming, was overjoyed and ran toward her. Xia Xiao hugged Weilin and asked, "Where are your mom and dad?" "Daddy is in the classroom, and Mommy is in that classroom," Weilin said, then curiously eyed Gao Jiaxing. Just then, Gao Jiazhi came out of the classroom, saw Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao, seemed surprised, then smiled and approached. "What brought you here, and when did Jiaxing come back?" "Arrived last night," Gao Jiaxing smiled. "Weilin, go call Mommy," Gao Jiazhi instructed Weilin. Weilin ran toward the other classroom. Sun Yuhua, after setting homework, came out and, seeing Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing, nodded tentatively. Now that they no longer lived together, their conflicts had significantly decreased, so the relationship between Xia Xiao and Sun Yuhua had also eased a bit.
