"Thank you and you look handsome when you smile so why don't you continue smiling," Xing'er said happily. The look on her face showed that she was very happy.
"You are such a sweet talker and there is no need to thank me because I was only stating the truth," Yue Qi said as he kept on staring at her. He could not bear to take his eyes off her for a minute.
"I thought you were not coming tonight? Everyone in our class bet that you would not come so I also thought you would not come since you don't like attending parties so what made you change your mind?," Xing'er asked as she stared at him affectionately.
"Yes, it is true that I don't like parties but I came to the party because of someone. I know that she would feel sad if I did not attend her birthday party so I had to come to personally wish her happy birthday myself and I can see right now that my coming here was not in vain," Yue Qi said, not taking his eyes off hers while saying this.
"Oh! I see you came here because of Xin'ai right? That is so sweet of you. I am sure she will be happy to know that you are here because of her," Xing'er said feeling a little bad. She tried to walk away but Yue Qi grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him. Anyone who saw them act so matured will mistake them for an adult if they did not get a proper glare at their faces.
"Why are you playing ignorant? Of course, I didn't come here because of Xin'ai but because of you. I thought you knew that I liked you? Is that not why you have been trying to get close to me for the past couple of months?" Yue Qi asked not daring to take his eyes off hers.
"Did I just hear you correctly? You like me?" Xing'er asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I do. Why? Don't you like me too?" Yue Qi asked curiously.
"Of course I do," Xing'er said happily.
"Yue Qi are you going to make her stand all night in those shoes? And stop flirting with my sister, she is too young for that. I would definitely not give her away just yet so you have to wait for a few years for her to turn to an adult. Ok," Ziyu who has been watching them from the beginning of their conservation shouted, their friends immediately turned around to face the new couple.
"Stop being so serious dude, I never said that I want to marry her just yet so you don't have to worry about me taking her away moreover I am sure that I wouldn't be able to so under your mum and dad's watch even if I had such intentions," Yue Qi replied back sharply before he escorted Xing'er to her seat. Everyone was so happy at the party and everyone enjoyed themselves fully since food and drinks were in abundance.
"You see Xing'er, I told you not to worry. I knew that he liked you since he always asked about you whenever he did not see you. He has had crushed on you for a long time now but you are the one who was so slow in reading between the lines," Ziyu said confidently after the end of the party when they got home.
"Thank you so much Ziyu, your words really gave me courage to face Yue Qi. I don't know what I would have done without your help that is why you are the best," Xing'er said happily, she took Ziyu by surprise when she hugged him unexpectedly.
"Wow! I can't believe that my girls are so big now to the extent that they now have secret boyfriends. Because they are big now they no longer tell their mum any secrets. Ziyu I hope you are not hiding a secret girlfriend from your mum and dad right?" Lie Ruge asked as she threw her eldest son a suspicious glare.
"Of course not mum. I love mum so much so I will never keep any secrets from you. I want to be like dad who only loved mum in his lifetime so I have not yet found the girl that I like to that extent. That is why I don't have time to date just any girl," Ziyu said, acting all cute, giving his two sisters goosebumps in the process.
"Yuck. Stop acting like that or I might just throw up because of you. You are not the only one who loves mum very much. We love mum too but we always tell dad when it comes to these things because dad is a man too so he is more experienced in this aspect than mum. Am I correct dad?" Xin'ai asked as he looked at his dad pleadingly, he gave him the save me glare.
"Xin'ai, why are you seeking your own doom? You know that dad always sides with mum. So why are you asking him when you have already known what the outcome will be? You are so funny," Ziyu said teasingly.
"Xing'er why are you just keeping quiet when Ziyu is bullying me? Say something hmmm," Xin'ai said, feeling wronged but Xing'er refused to utter a word.
"Sister Xin'ai, I think you are all alone today since I'm sure that Sister Xing'er will not come to your rescue since Ziyu helped her earlier at the party," Jiu said softly.
"Guys why don't you go to your rooms to get changed and shower. I am sure that you must be feeling uncomfortable in your dresses. You don't have to keep on bickering at each other. One thing is sure, mum and dad love each one of you so much Ok," Yi Lan said affectionately.
"And we love you too mum and dad," they all chorused at once like they always did. They all pecked their parents before they went upstairs to their rooms.
"I can't believe that our kids are so big, they are already fifteen. It feels like just yesterday when I gave birth to them. I remember how scared I was of falling having raw sex with you after the triplets birth due to the fear that I might give birth to another set of triplets. I can still remember how cautious we were for eight years before we both decided to have another child," Lie Ruge said smiling as she reminisced about the past.
"Yeah, you became even stronger after the triplets were born because of how naughty and mysterious they were. I can still remember your expression when the triplets turned our dressing room upside down while they were playing. They were so mischievous when they were much younger," Yi Lan said smiling too as he hugged his wife warmly.
"Hahaha.... you are right? I still remember that I could not even punish them because of how adorable and innocent they acted after destroying my dressing room. But now they are big and caring. They are so caring towards Jiu. I remember when they beat up a group of bullies for making their younger brother cry," Lie Ruge said, still smiling.
"It is because we the teachers are good that is why they are better at fighting right now. Just a week ago they beat up a gang of bullies who bullied a girl in their school. I think that they are just a few steps away from being experts in martial arts," Yi Lan said.
"We are just a few steps from reaching our dream family. Then I won't have to worry about having to give birth again. I will just spend time enjoying my husband for all eternity," Lie Ruge said as she stared at him seductively.
"Then let's go to our bedroom to have some fun. It has been three days since we last did it so come one let's go," Yi Lan said as he kissed her passionately.
