Chapter 28 Wanting a Complete Home
Chapter 28 Wanting a Complete Home
After spending a joyful day at Li Yuan's house, Liu Yixin's mind was filled with the wonderful images of that cozy home. Sitting in the car on her way home, she stared blankly out the window, her heart pounding like a little rabbit.
Upon arriving home, Liu Yixin rushed into her bedroom, clutching her beloved teddy bear and pacing back and forth. She would sit on the edge of the bed, then stand up again, her mind filled with Li Yuan's gentle smile, kind words, and the fragrant meal spread across the table. Finally, as if making up her mind, she tossed the teddy bear aside and rushed out to find her father.
Mr. Liu was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper when his daughter suddenly rushed out, startling him. "Yixin, what's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"
Liu Yixin's face turned bright red, and she stammered, "Dad... Dad, I... I have something I want to tell you."
"What's wrong, honey? Tell me slowly." Mr. Liu put down his newspaper and looked at his daughter with a puzzled expression.
Liu Yixin took a deep breath and shouted, "I want a mom! I want Aunt Li to be my new mom!"
Mr. Liu was stunned. His mouth gaped open, and his eyes widened as if he had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world. He stared blankly at his daughter, speechless for a long time.
Liu Yixin nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, her heart pounding. "Dad, why aren't you saying anything? Am I being too greedy?"
Several minutes later, Mr. Liu finally came to his senses. He scratched his head and said helplessly, "Daughter, this is no small matter. I need to think about it carefully."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yixin's eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Okay, Dad, you'd better hurry up, I can't wait!"
The next morning, Liu's father took Liu Yixin to school as usual. At the school gate, they ran into Li Yuan with Li Shiqing.
"Aunt Li, Shi Qing!" Liu Yixin waved her little hand excitedly.
"Yixin, good morning!" Li Yuan replied with a smile.
Li Shiqing skipped over and grabbed Liu Yixin's hand. "Yixin, let's play jump rope together during recess today."
“Okay!” Liu Yixin agreed with a smile. Then she looked at Li Yuan, then at her father, and whispered in Li Shiqing’s ear, “Shiqing, I told my dad that I want Aunt Li to be my mom.”
Li Shiqing's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, exclaiming, "Wow, that's great! From now on, we're sisters!"
Liu Yixin laughed happily, and the two little heads huddled together, chattering away.
Suddenly, Li Shiqing said mysteriously to Liu Yixin, "Yixin, I'll tell you a secret too. Yesterday, after you and Uncle Liu left, I told my mom that I wanted a new dad like Uncle Liu. My mom said she would consider it."
Liu Yixin's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Really? That's wonderful!"
Li Shiqing nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, that way we can truly become a family. We need to think of a way to get them married as soon as possible."
Liu Yixin frowned, deep in thought. "What should we do?"
Li Shiqing's eyes darted around, and she smiled slyly. "I've got it! We can write them love letters, just like in the movies. We can write down all their good points and then secretly put them under their pillows."
Liu Yixin hesitated for a moment, "Wouldn't that be too cheesy?"
"Oh, no way! It's just an expression of affection," Li Shiqing said nonchalantly.
"Alright then, we'll start writing after school." Liu Yixin shrugged helplessly.
All day long, the two little girls excitedly awaited the end of school. Finally, the bell rang, and they dashed out of the classroom like wild horses, heading straight for Liu Yixin's house.
Upon arriving at Liu Yixin's room, they found paper and pen and began earnestly writing "love letters."
Li Shiqing bit her pen, deep in thought. "I'll start by writing about my mom's good points. My mom is very gentle. She tells me bedtime stories and bakes super delicious cakes. Her smile is as beautiful as a spring flower, and she's very kind, often helping the neighbors."
Liu Yixin nodded in approval, “Aunt Li is really great. I’m writing down my dad’s good points. My dad is very smart. He can fix a lot of things. Last time my toy broke, he fixed it in no time. He’s also very brave. Once I saw a big bug and I was so scared that I cried. My dad caught the bug in no time. And he works very hard so that I can have a better life.”
As they wrote, the two little girls couldn't help but laugh.
"Won't they think we're silly if we write it like this?" Liu Yixin said with a smile.
"No, they will be moved by us," Li Shiqing replied confidently.
By the time he finished writing the "love letter," it was already dark.
Liu Yixin's father came to call them for dinner.
At the dinner table, Mr. Liu looked at the two little girls' mysterious expressions and asked curiously, "What have you two little girls been doing in your room for so long?"
Liu Yixin and Li Shiqing exchanged a glance and said in unison, "It's nothing, it's a secret!"
After dinner, Li Yuan picked up Li Shiqing and it was time to go home.
At the door, she said to Liu Yixin, "Tomorrow we'll find a chance to put the love letters away and then see their reaction."
"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Liu Yixin waved.
The next day, the two little girls arrived at school early, and during recess, they secretly discussed their plans for the evening.
“Tonight I’ll get my hands on Dad’s phone first and send some sweet nothings to Aunt Li. Then you can put the love letter under your mom’s pillow,” Liu Yixin said.
“Okay, then I’ll use my mom’s phone to send a message to Uncle Liu,” Li Shiqing replied.
After school, they couldn't wait to get started. While her father was cooking in the kitchen, Liu Yixin sneaked into her room, grabbed her phone, and sent Li Yuan a message: "Aunt Li, you are the most beautiful mother in the world. My father and I love you very much, and we hope you can become a member of our family soon."
After sending the message, her heart was pounding, fearing that her father would find out.
Li Shiqing successfully placed the love letter under her mother's pillow at home, and then used her mother's phone to send a similar message to Liu's father.
However, what they didn't know was that Li Yuan and Liu's father were amused and burst into laughter after seeing the message. They had already noticed the two little girls' little thoughts, and although they thought they were a bit childish, they were also touched by their innocence and cuteness.
That evening, Mr. Liu came to Liu Yixin's room, sat on the edge of the bed, and said softly, "Yixin, Dad knows you really want a mother, and Dad is seriously considering it. However, matters of the heart can't be forced. We need to give the adults some time, okay?"
Liu Yixin nodded obediently, "Okay, Dad, I understand. I just really want a complete family."
Meanwhile, Li Yuan was also having a heart-to-heart talk with Li Shiqing, "Qingqing, Mom understands your thoughts, but marriage is a very complicated matter, and we can't decide based solely on your wishes. However, Mom will spend more time with Uncle Liu to see if he's a good match."
Although Li Shiqing was somewhat disappointed, she still said, "Okay, Mom, I hope you and Uncle Liu can be together."
Li Yuan walked out of the room and silently thought to herself: In my previous life, I had little contact with Liu Yixin's father, let alone my daughter Wang Shiqing dating Liu Yixin. In this life, my daughter Li Shiqing wants me to remarry Liu Yixin's father, but I'm afraid that my daughter might follow the same path as in my previous life.
