“Big brother reads books with me, second brother draws pictures with me, and third brother practices piano with me.” Little Yinyin tilted her head and said, “Will Mommy tell me a story when she comes back?”
Ye Yunla had taken two pills on her way back, the pills were supposed to have a sleeping and calming effect, her head was heavy at the moment and she just wanted to sleep for a while.
She put on a gentle smile and said, “Mommy will go to sleep for half an hour first, and then after dinner, Mommy will tell you all a story together.”
After stroking the heads of the little ones, she lifted her steps towards the first floor and gently closed the door behind her.
Little Yinyin’s little face drooped, “Mummy seems very tired and worn out, why does Daddy still let Mummy go to work at the office?”
“Mummy has been abroad for more than half a month and hasn’t gone to the company since she returned home, there are many things in the company that Mummy needs to deal with personally, right?” Fu Ziyan spoke, “Let Mommy sleep for a while, and then go and call Mommy up at dinner time.”
Ye Jingzhan looked down and played with the blocks, his eyes seemed to be ink-stained.
He knew exactly what was going on, but he was clueless ……
“Sister, let’s play hide-and-seek.” Fu Ziling instantly came back to life, “You hide, I’ll find.”
Little Yinyin’s attention was also diverted and she said with a smile, “Big brother, third brother, come and find me together, okay?”
Fu Ziyan put down the book in his hand and nodded, “We’ll do ten sounds, you can hide well.”
Little Yinyin turned and ran upstairs, her snow-white skirt fluttering up, she was like a flying little glutinous rice ball.
“One, two, three …… Eight, nine, ten.”
Fu Ziyan finished counting ten times and the three boys opened their eyes together.
Fu Zi Ling lowered his voice and said, “I heard my sister hiding upstairs, let’s go and get her out.”
“Shhh!” Fu Zi Yan’s fingers pressed against his lips, “Move gently, give your sister a surprise.”
Ye Jingzhan eased his movements and followed them upstairs.
After the winter holidays, the four of them often played hide-and-seek at home, mainly because little Yinyin and Fu Ziling liked to play, with Fu Ziyan and Ye Jingzhan as chaperones, often for more than an hour.
“It’s right here ……”
Fu Ziling stood catty-cornered at the entrance to the toy room, covering his mouth and snickering.
He held out his finger and shouted softly, “One, two, three.”
As the voice fell, he violently pushed the door of the room open.
The three brothers spoke together, “Little Yinyin, we’ve found you!”
Little Yinyin, who was hiding just behind the door, came out unhappily, grunting, “You must have been the ones peeking!”
Fu Ziling blinked his big eyes, “There was no peeking, it was eavesdropping on your voice.”
“Second brother is rascal!” Little Yinyin stomped her foot, “Let’s do it all over again, I’ll hide again!”
“Sister, you’re the one who’s rogue!” Fu Zi Ling thrust out, “You dodged once, this time it’s my turn!”
Fu Zi Yan frowned, “What did you let let sister do?”
A few children were talking up, when the door to the master bedroom next door was suddenly pulled open.
Ye Yunla stood in the doorway with a cold and sullen look on her face, “How much longer are you going to make noise, are you going to let anyone sleep?”
As soon as her words fell, the toy room suddenly fell silent.
Four pairs of slithering eyes looked at her with obvious fear.
Ye Yunla was filled with irritation.
She knew it was wrong, but she simply could not control the restlessness that swept through her.
“If I hear one more bit of noise, don’t call me Mummy!”
She finished and slammed the door of the room shut with a bang.
