Fu Shiya pointed at the cake on the table and raised her chin. "I made this cake myself. Can you make it?"

Zhou Yiming looked at the cake carefully.

Quite creative.

The ten-inch cake has a hand-painted baby face on it. Every line and every color reveals Fu Shiya's ingenuity and warmth.

You can see that it's very attentive.

Zhou Yiming clearly admired her in his heart, but the words he said were so infuriating.

He narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully: "It's just a broken cake, how much can it be worth?"

Fu Shiya puffed up her cheeks and glared at him, "Money, money, money, you only care about money. What else do people like you have besides money? Forget it, there is nothing good to say to a vulgar person like you."

Qin Xue came out to smooth things over, "This cake is so exquisitely made, I can't bear to eat it. Shi Ya is so thoughtful."

Fu Shiya's expression eased a little. She handed Qin Xue an exquisitely carved brocade box and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a gift I prepared for my niece and nephew. I designed the design myself and asked a master to make a gold lock. Open it and take a look."

Qin Xue took it with a smile and opened the brocade box. Inside was a pair of very delicate and cute golden dragon baby locks.

The dragon head is lifelike, with small horns raised slightly and inlaid with gems, like the brightest stars in the night sky, adding a touch of mystery and nobility to the pair of golden locks.

The dragon's eyes were wide open, flashing with wisdom and kindness, as if it could see through everything in the world.

The body of the golden lock is outlined with complex and delicate patterns, with auspicious clouds and surging waves, showing the magnificence of a dragon swimming around the seas and soaring into the sky.

"This is so beautiful!" Qin Xue couldn't help but exclaim.

The two gold locks are basically the same, but there are some differences between the one for boys and the one for girls, and you can tell the gender at a glance.

"Their names are engraved on the back," Fu Shiya reminded.

Qin Xue turned the golden lock over, and one had "Yu Ze" engraved on the back, and the other had "Jin Xia" engraved on the back.

"One for each of the two little ones." Fu Shiya's eyes flashed with pride, and she glanced at Zhou Yiming. "How is it? It's much better than someone giving money, right?"

Qin Xue smiled helplessly and dotingly when she heard that, and turned to look at Zhou Yiming.

Zhou Yiming looked indifferent and smiled nonchalantly.

Qin Xue said with a smile: "Our Shi Ya is really clever and skillful. Not only can she make cakes, but she can also design accessories. This pair of golden locks is very cute. I thank you on behalf of Ping An and Xiao Jiu."

Zhou Yiming snorted disapprovingly.

Fu Shiya rolled her eyes at him, then turned around and replied to Qin Xue with a smile: "Hehe, as long as sister-in-law likes it."

Zhou Yiming had another argument with Fu Shiya.

He Siyi hurried over carrying a gift.

"Sorry, Xiaoxue, I have class this afternoon and it ends at 5:30. I'm late."

Qin Xue specially sent a driver to pick up He Siyi from her school.

He Siyi's school is not far from the Zhou family's old house, about ten kilometers away, but five or six in the afternoon is the rush hour, and there is a traffic jam on the road. It took more than an hour to drive the ten kilometers.

Qin Xue smiled and replied: "Not too late, not too late, I just came back not long ago."

He Siyi handed the gift to Qin Xue, "It's for my godson and goddaughter."

Qin Xue took the gift and said, "Thank you Siyi."

He Siyi sat down at the dining table. "We are all family. How can I, as a godmother, say thank you when I give gifts to my godson and goddaughter?"

Qin Xue introduced He Siyi to Zhou Yiming and Fu Shiya.

Zhou Yiming joked, "Sister Siyi is really pretty."

Fu Shiya said "tsk tsk" twice, then turned to He Siyi and said, "Sister Siyi, don't pay attention to him. He is a sea king and can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman."

He Siyi nodded and didn't take it to heart.

Zhou Yiming laughed angrily, "Fu Shiya, don't spread rumors. How can I become the King of the Sea when I don't even have a girlfriend?"

Fu Shiya turned her head away and sneered, "You don't have a girlfriend, but you have countless female companions. I understand. As long as you don't give girls a name, you will always be single. You can be ambiguous with several girls at the same time."

Zhou Yiming sneered, crossed his arms and looked at Fu Shiya with amusement, "You are still young and don't learn well. You only know how to spread rumors."

Then he turned to Qin Xue and asked, "Sister-in-law, you are a law student. Tell me, how many years should someone like Fu Shiya be sentenced for making up rumors and slandering me?"

Zhou Chenyi once told Qin Xue that Zhou Yiming and Fu Shiya were from the same circle and grew up together, so they could be considered childhood sweethearts.

It’s just that they are not as innocent as other childhood sweethearts.

The two of them are a pair of bickering lovers. They have been quarreling since they were young and they quarrel whenever they meet.

Qin Xue jokingly replied, "It can't be sentenced. Let's not talk about the fact that minor civil infringements don't involve jail time. Even if the court is willing to sentence you, are you willing to sue?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiming's face darkened, and the corner of his mouth twitched, with an expression as if he had eaten a fly, "I can't bear to sue? How could I be reluctant to sue? Sister-in-law, are you kidding me!"

Qin Xue just smiled and said nothing.

Zhou Yiming is a sharp-tongued person who likes to find fault, especially with Fu Shiya, but he still cares about Fu Shiya in his heart.

The childish boy, like a junior high school student, bullies whoever he likes.

The last time Shi Ya celebrated her birthday, he clearly flew back from abroad to celebrate for her, but when he was in front of Shi Ya, he said that he was bored staying abroad and came back to have fun and attend her birthday party.

Zhou Yiming and Fu Shiya are both confused by the situation. One likes to care without realizing it, and the other cannot see the other's intentions clearly.

Qin Xue was a bystander and saw things more clearly.

Fu Shiya became anxious when she heard Qin Xue say this, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about! He and I are enemies!"

Qin Xue smiled and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, enemy."

Zhou Yiming quickly agreed: "Yes! That's right! We are enemies!"

"Hmph!" Fu Shiya snorted coldly and turned her face away.

Qin Xue laughed.

They were just like two little kids.

……

When all the guests arrived, the servant went to invite Mr. Zhou and the old lady.

The old man of the Zhou family looked energetic, wearing a well-tailored Tang suit, and walked into the restaurant with steady steps.

Old Madam Zhou was wearing a dark green cheongsam, leaning on a cane, and supported by someone, following behind Old Man Zhou tremblingly.

Mr. Zhou and the old lady took their seats.

Zhou Chenyi sat on Qin Xue's left, Fu Yun sat on Qin Xue's right, and He Siyi was sandwiched between Fu Shiya and Zhou Yiming.

As usual, the old man gave a long speech before the meal, thanking Qin Xue for giving birth to the Zhou family's great-grandson.

After the speech, everyone started to eat.

As the sun sets, the Zhou family's old house is bathed in the golden light of the afterglow.

The trees are green and the light and shadows filtering through the branches and leaves are mottled and spread on the cobblestone path.

The joyful laughter of everyone in the house seemed like a melodious prelude to celebration, echoing between the carved beams and painted buildings.
