“Fan, let’s compete to see who loses their bait more, or catches a bigger fish first,” Zhao Xiaotian said.
“You’re gonna lose for sure. After all, I’ve spent more time fishing here than you. What kind of fishing skills could you have coming only once in a while? Isn’t this just making it easy for me to win?” Ye Fan retorted, sounding a bit annoyed.
Isn’t that the case!
When he had nothing else to do, he would be fishing here.
He knew this place like the back of his hand.
So, this wasn’t really fair to Zhao Xiaotian.
“It’s okay, we’re just fishing for fun, to relax a bit, no big deal,” Fang Dajian said with determination in his eyes.
For him, having nothing to do was a perfect chance to laze around and fish; winning or losing didn’t matter.
“All right then, let’s get started,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
It had been a long time since he fished together with Zhao Xiaotian.
He really missed those days.
Back when the kid was still in school, he would often come out to fish with him.
Now, with work and all sorts of things to deal with, he genuinely didn’t have the time.
As for Ye Fan, his best buddies, his die-hard friends, were Fang Dajian and Zhao Xiaotian.
His circle of friends was very small, just these two guys.
But, friends are not about quantity, but about sincerity.
There are many who will add flowers to the brocade, but very few who will send coal in the snow.
It’s rare to find people who will give you a hand when you’re in your toughest times.
The two of them were fishing, while the kids were playing games on the lawn. Two beauties were sunbathing in the yard—a truly healing scene.
Eventually, Fang Dajian called to say he couldn’t make it.
Jenny’s due date was any day now; she didn’t dare to run around and always needed someone with her, just in case she went into labor.
Of course, Ye Fan had been through the same and understood, so he was very sympathetic.
It was fine that he didn’t come; there would be other times to gather.
As evening approached, Mother Ye called everyone to start dinner.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately headed toward the house.
Sitting at the dining table in the living room, everyone’s eyes lit up at the sight of the delicious spread on the table.
It looked so appetizing.
Their stomachs felt very hungry.
“Okay, it’s quite late, and I’m sure everyone’s hungry; let’s eat,” Mother Ye said with a smile.
At that moment, everyone picked up their chopsticks.
Ye Fan was the first to pick up a piece of meat and put it into Bai Susu’s bowl.
“Xiaotian, I want some too!” Bai Ruoxue turned her head and said to Zhao Xiaotian, watching how Ye Fan cared for his sister.
“Sure, sure, wife, try this,” Zhao Xiaotian said, picking up a piece of meat for Bai Ruoxue.
Everyone saw this and smiled.
“Okay, let’s all raise our glasses; we’ll drink soda instead of alcohol. Thanks for attending the baby’s one-month celebration. We’re all family here, so don’t be shy; eat and drink your fill,” Ye Fan said, his face beaming with a smile.
“No worries, we’re here for the child’s one-month celebration, just to join the fun. Anyway, it’s been a long time since we’ve come to see you; we’ve missed you,” Bai Ruoxue said with a smile.
“Yeah, it’s been so long since we’ve come over. I’ve been busy lately, but seeing everyone in good health is reassuring,” Zhao Xiaotian added.
“Here’s a toast, thanks,” Ye Fan responded.
“If you have time, you can always come over; it’s no trouble. Auntie doesn’t consider you outsiders; you’re all family,” Mother Ye said with a laugh.
That’s right—Zhao Xiaotian was practically watched growing up by them.
And Bai Ruoxue, Bai Susu’s cousin, was no different.
They were all family.
She liked both of these kids; they were very good-natured.
“Aunt, Uncle, when we have time, we’ll come over to visit. Don’t get tired of us, hehe!” Bai Ruoxue said to Mother Ye and Father Ye.
“Yeah, I love coming over to your place. It feels like home, so laid-back. So, you can expect us to come bother you in the future,” Zhao Xiaotian said.
“I would love it if you came more often. This is your home. I’ve watched Xiaotian grow up, and Ruoxue, you’re Susu’s cousin. We’re all family. And I really like that girl Jenny too. It’s just that she’s about to give birth and probably won’t be able to get around lately,” Mother Ye admitted.
That girl Jenny, she was very fond of her.
“Jenny’s about to have her baby; I’ve heard her due date is in a few days, so she’s constantly with someone and afraid to go anywhere. Otherwise, Jenny loves the excitement and would insist on coming no matter what,” Bai Ruoxue explained.
“Right, when she has her baby, I’ll also go see her, such a lovable girl,” Mother Ye commented.
“Let’s eat!” Ye Fan said with a laugh.
Look, they could talk so much they would forget to eat.
“Grandma, I want to go with you to see Aunt Jenny!” Ye Bing spoke up at this moment.
She also really liked Jenny, who always brought them tasty treats and fun things whenever she visited.
“I want to go too, take me with you.”
“`
“`
“And me too!”
“I want to go as well, don’t forget about me!”
One after another, the four little ones started to speak up.
Their looks showed a fear of being left out.
“Oh alright, I’ll take you all with me. Don’t worry, after your Aunt Jenny gives birth, we’ll all go visit her,” Mother Ye said with a smile, reaching out her hand and caressing the head of the second eldest who was sitting beside her.
These kids really have warm hearts.
One by one, they clamored to go.
“You mean to say, you won’t come to see me after I’ve given birth? I’m your big aunt, I’ll be heartbroken,” Bai Ruoxue said to the four youngsters, her eyes filled with a hint of grievance.
Her act was so convincing that Ye Fan felt somewhat…
“We’ll go! We’ll wait until big aunt has her baby, then we also want to go!”
“Yes, big aunt is very good to us too, of course we’ll go see my little sister!”
“Big aunt is having a brother. She can only have a brother, it’s not possible for her to have a little sister!” That’s when Little Fourth spoke up.
“Xiaoye Jie, how do you know it’s a brother, not a sister?” Bai Ruoxue asked.
The little one had made such claims more than once.
Why was she so certain every time, as if she had seen it for herself?
Nevertheless, Little Fourth had also predicted that Bai Susu was carrying a boy, and her guess turned out to be true.
It was just unknown whether this was a mere coincidence.
If it was just coincidence…
But could children’s words really be so prophetic?
To say what will be born and then it happens?
Bai Ruoxue was still quite skeptical.
“Of course, it’s definitely a boy. Not just big aunt having a boy, Aunt Jenny is also having a boy; you’re all having boys!” Little Fourth Ye Jie stated firmly while she clutched a chicken wing, eating and speaking with utmost seriousness. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“It’s alright, a boy or a girl, I don’t mind at all!” Bai Ruoxue said.
Although, she did long for a daughter, having a boy wouldn’t be terrible.
They were all her children, to be loved equally.
“That’s good then, hehe, your baby is going to be very healthy, and will be really smart in the future!” Ye Jie spoke up again.
“Then I’ll take your good words for it!” Bai Ruoxue replied with a smile.
Little Fourth Ye Jie really knew how to speak.
Those words genuinely endeared people to her.
Indeed, she hadn’t poured affection on the little girl for nothing back in the day.
“Let’s eat now!”
“Yeah, it’s going to get cold soon!”
Mother Ye and a few others chimed in.
Only then did they start to eat their meal with patience.
As soon as they finished eating, Bai Ruoxue and Zhao Xiaotian rested a bit before driving off.
It was getting late, and the sky was darkening.
Ye Fan stood at the doorway, watching Zhao Xiaotian and Bai Ruoxue drive away before he went back inside.
A few of them sat on the sofa, watching TV.
Before long, Ye Fan’s phone began to ring.
Picking it up, he saw it was a call from Fang Dajian.
“Hello, Da Jian?” Ye Fan spoke into the phone.
“Ye Fan, we’re at the hospital. My wife Jenny is giving birth. We’re now in the hospital, and I’m really nervous. What should I do?” Fang Dajian’s anxious voice came through the phone.
Listening to the sound of that voice, Ye Fan could feel what Fang Dajian’s mood was like at that moment.
He hadn’t expected the birth to happen so soon!
“Wait for me, I’ll be right there!” Ye Fan said and then hung up the phone.
Just then, since Ye Fan had the speaker on, everyone had heard the conversation.
“You go ahead. Be careful driving, slow down at night!” Bai Susu looked at Ye Fan with concern.
“Yeah yeah, don’t worry. You all stay at home and behave, no messing around, got it?” Ye Fan told the four little ones.
“Don’t worry, Dad!”
“We’re very good!”
‘Alright, I’m off now!’ Ye Fan said as he was about to leave.
“Ye Fan, hold on, you should take some things with you. You might need them once you’re there!” Mother Ye called out to Ye Fan at that moment.
‘Take what?’ Ye Fan asked.
“Just wait a few minutes!” Saying this, Mother Ye hurriedly went upstairs.
