Five years. Five years passed in a flash.
Not long after the spring festival five years ago, when Xi Xiaye went to the hospital for a check-up because she was feeling unwell, the doctor told her that she was pregnant for more than two months. Xi Xiaye was ecstatic and quickly told Mu Yuchen about this news.
Mu Yuchen immediately rushed over to confirm that it was as she said.
After that, she carried the child for ten months. After the Mid-autumn Festival, Xi Xiaye’s wish finally came true and she gave birth to a daughter for Mu Yuchen. Mu Yuchen named his daughter Mu Zishu, and she was the youngest child that he doted on the most.
Because this daughter was not easy to come by, to give birth to her, Xi Xiaye suffered a lot. When she gave birth to her, it was a difficult process. She went through a whole night of torment before giving birth the next morning.
The daughter was very sensible. Just like her brother, Mu Zicheng, she did not cry much and was very easy to take care of. Moreover, the older she grew, the more she looked like Xi Xiaye, especially her brows, eyes, and mouth. Her entire silouhette looked like a miniature version of Xi Xiaye.
Among the four children, Mu Zishu was undoubtedly the most doted on, but she was also the quietest. Ever since she was born, she would mostly just eat and sleep and rarely cry.
When Mu Zishu was born, Mu Zicheng was already almost four years old. The little guy grew very fast. He was taller than most people his age, and he was very strong. When Mu Zishu was just one month old, the little guy was already clamoring to hug his sister, and so was Mu Zirui, the two children seemed to be very protective of their own.
In these five years, time passed very quickly. Qin Su gave birth to a son for Zhou Zimo. Zhou Zimo named him Zhou Mingyu, while Ji Zitong gave birth to another son for Su Chen. He was named Su Jingchuan, and he was almost four years old now, he was a little younger than Zhou Mingyu.
Mu Zirui was already in his teens. When he was eight years old, Mu Yuchen had already sent him to study at a military school. He would only go home at the end of every month.
Mu Zirui adapted very quickly. Even though it was rare for him to live with Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye, he was not estranged from them at all.
Mu Zicheng was already eight years old. Because the little guy was smart, he would be entering the sixth grade after this holiday. Qi Wei’er would be in the first year of junior high, and the siblings would be in the same school. Mu Zirui would also be in the first year of senior high after this summer holiday.
The teaching model in the school was flexible and very practical. If you could pass the test, it would not be a problem for you to skip a grade. In the past few years, the education department had slowly changed from exam-oriented education to focusing more on promoting talents, therefore, these were all trivial matters.
Dongfang Ye and Qi Lan were in the same class as Su Jingling. They were in the second grade and were in the same school as Mu Zicheng.
In addition, in the third year after Lan Xiu and Leng Xinran got married, Leng Xinran also gave birth to her daughter, Lan Lingjin. She was now over two years old.
The child’s name was given by Leng Xinran. Lan Xiu knew that Leng Xinran was still thinking about her unfortunate younger sister, Leng Xinling.
Another year of summer vacation had passed. In the blink of an eye, school was about to start again.
It was early in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly, inside Maple Residence.
Xi Xiaye woke up earlier than usual, even though it was the weekend.
Because Mu Zirui had to report back to school today, the school was in the outskirts of City Z. It was close to 200 kilometers away from home, and it would take more than three hours to drive there.
Xi Xiaye had told Mu Yuchen last night that she would send him there together.
Because she was thinking about this, Xi Xiaye could not rest well. The child had to leave her side and only came back once in a long time. Of course, she was a little reluctant, even though such days had been going on for a few years.
Mu Zicheng and Mu Zishu had returned to the Mu residence. Qi Wei’er had spent most of the summer holidays at Qi Lei’s place. Dongfang Liuyun and Qi Lei treated her very well and treated her like their own daughter, so over the past few years, Qi Wei’er did not seem estranged from them. On this point, Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye felt very gratified.
Xi Xiaye woke up early this morning and specially prepared breakfast for the child personally. She helped him pack his luggage. At this moment, Mu Zirui had also woken up. He had washed up and changed into a grayish-black casual outfit. He looked resolute and handsome.
The child grew up very quickly. He had already surpassed Xi Xiaye’s height.
“Mother, why did you wake up so early?”
Mu Zirui stood by the bed and watched Xi Xiaye pack her luggage while he took Xi Xiaye’s socks and put them on.
“You slept quite early last night. You have to report back to school today. School is starting now, so I’m afraid there won’t be a break at the end of this month. The next time you come back will be at the end of next month. It’s more than 40 days, so you need to be more mindful of what you need.”
Xi Xiaye was just worried that he would miss something, so she got up early to prepare.
“The school has everything, Mother, you should rest for a while. Everything that needs to be packed is pretty muh there.”
Mu Zirui saw that Xi Xiaye was so busy that her forehead was covered in a layer of sweat, so he quickly went over to help carry the luggage bag.
“It’s like a military academy. How comfortable can it be? If you need anything, just call home. I’ve already gotten to know your form teacher and Dean Sang, you can’t use your phone inside either. If you need anything, just tell them. They’ll pass on your messages to me. Don’t let your father know. He’s simply unable to communicate right now. He’s always asking the same of you guys with his old ways.”
When Xi Xiaye said this, she lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that she would be heard if she raised her voice.
When she heard this, Mu Zirui smiled. “Mother, Father is doing this for our own good. A few days ago, Xiaocheng said that he wanted to enter this school with me too. He said that it’s meaningless to stay in the school now. It’s not challenging at all.”
“Him? He’s still so young. It’ll take at least two years. I’m only relieved when he’s a little more responsible. Xiao Rui, school isn’t like home. It’s a little tougher. Don’t put yourself through too much, understand?”
Xi Xiaye felt a little sorry for Mu Zirui. When he first went in, Xi Xiaye noticed that he had lost some weight every time he returned home. When Mu Yuchen said that he wanted to send him to that school, she was not very happy. Seeing Mu Zirui like this, her heart ached even more, and she ignored Mu Yuchen for quite a few days. After that, Mu Yuchen tried his best to calm her down.
“Mother, yesterday, Father asked me to go to the study room for a lecture. My father said that you’re too harsh on him and that you’re a little arrogant and spoiled…”
Mu Zirui touched his nose and looked at Xi Xiaye with some interest. He did not forget what Mu Yuchen had told him.
“Arrogant because I’m spoiled? Do you think he has the right? Don’t you feel that your father seems to be going through menopause this past year?”
“Menopause? No. Isn’t he just in his forties? Uncle Qi Lei said that this is when a man is experienced and more mature with male charisma. Previously, he told you to be careful not to let other women think of clamoring onto my father!”
