you are my greatest success

Mu Xi was woken up by the loud jokes of children outside, probably because she was extremely tired, so she had a rare good night's sleep.

As soon as Mu Xi went downstairs, Qiqi who rushed over like a small cannonball hugged him straight: "Brother Xixi, good morning."

"Morning, Qiqi." Mu Xi picked her up, "Did Qiqi have breakfast?"

"I've eaten." Qiqi patted her stomach to show that she was full.

"Then let's go to breakfast with brother." Mu Xi carried Qi Qi into the dining room, Zhu Tianyi covered Mu Xi's share separately, it was still warm.

Seeing Mu Xi eating breakfast, Qi Qi couldn't help but want to eat it. Mu Xi was worried that the child would not be able to eat too much, so he fed her a little bit.

"You guys are really sticky." Zhu Tianyi came in wiping his sweat. Playing with children in winter is also a physical effort.

Qiqi didn't understand, so she looked at Zhu Tianyi, then grinned, seeing Qiqi's dazed look, Zhu Tianyi couldn't help but came up and kissed her: "Qiqi is so cute."

It was said that Mu Xi just handed Qiqi to him, and took the bowls and chopsticks to wash himself.

Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, so there are still a lot of things to prepare in the courtyard, and there are still some rooms in the courtyard that have not been tidied up. Mu Xi and Zhu Tianyi took the initiative to do this job, and the children also volunteered to help.

Fortunately, they are all diligent, so they finished their work in one morning.

"Xiao Mu, thank you for your hard work." The dean was a little embarrassed.

"No, we seldom do activities at work, so it's good to do some activities." Mu Xi replied with a smile.

Mu Xi's thoughtfulness made the dean's impression of him much better.

"Dean's mother, if there is anything else you want to buy, Mu Mu and I will go back to the market in the afternoon to buy it." Zhu Tianyi suggested.

The orphanage is located on the outskirts of the city, and it is very inconvenient to get in and out. The aunt in the kitchen and the doorman also went back on vacation. The children were not watched, and many things were not bought.

The dean thought for a while, and quickly made a list of what was missing, then sealed it in an envelope with the money and handed it to Zhu Tianyi.

Zhu Tianyi withdrew the money and returned it: "The dean's mother still treats me as an outsider? How much is this thing?"

"Xiaotian, if you want to save money to start a family, don't spend it recklessly." The dean disagreed and stuffed the money back.

"Auntie Dean, don't worry, Zhu Zhu has sent a lot at the end of this year, don't worry." Mu Xi winked at Zhu Tianyi, and the other party returned the money in due course.

Seeing Mu Xi open her mouth, the dean could only take back the money, she knew that the two children loved her dearly.

"Grandma dean, I want to go out too." Qiqi poked her head out from behind the door. She got up just now and wanted to drink water. When the adults spoke, she couldn't help standing outside the door and listening for a while.

Qiqi has been in the courtyard for so long and hasn't been out once, so she can't help it.

"No." The dean objected mercilessly, and his tone softened again, "Qiqi is too young, can I let my brother and sister play with you in the afternoon?"

"Brother Zhu Zhu, brother Xixi." Qiqi pouted and wanted to cry.

Mu Xi couldn't bear it, but he also thought that what the dean said was reasonable. After all, Qiqi was too young, he and Zhu Tianyi couldn't take care of him, so he was really worried about taking her out.

"Brother Xixi." Qi Qi rushed in and hugged Mu Xi's leg, "Brother Xixi, I am obedient."

The child looked at him with red eyes, which made Mu Xi's heart so soft that he could only reach out and hug Qiqi: "Auntie Dean, let us take Qiqi out, I promise to bring her back safely."

"...No." The dean sighed, "It's not that I don't believe you, once you start this, what will the other children think?"

"Grandma dean, Qiqi is obedient, Qiqi won't go." Qiqi is a sensible child, seeing the dean's frown in embarrassment, she said timidly, but tears flowed down her face.

"Let Qiqi go." Zhu Tianyi couldn't bear it. The children in the yard basically had no chance to leave the yard except to go to the nearby school, so they generally looked forward to going outside, especially those who were not yet of school age like Qiqi. child.

"...Only this time." Seeing the three pairs of begging eyes, the dean could only agree, "But, we must bring Qiqi back safely."

"Understood." Mu Xi nodded, took out a tissue and wiped Qi Qi's tears, "Is Qi Qi happy?"

"Happy." Qiqi nodded vigorously, "Thank you brother Xixi."

"What about me?" Zhu Tianyi raised his head unwillingly.

"Thank you, Brother Zhu Zhu." Qi Qi kissed Zhu Tianyi knowingly.

It would take a long time to travel from the outskirts of the city to the city, and Mu Xi was worried that Qi Qi would not be able to hold back, but unexpectedly, Qi Qi sat on Mu Xi's lap obediently, watching the scenery outside with her big eyes open.

The two decided to go to a large shopping mall in the city center, which has everything in it and is the most convenient for shopping.

"What should we buy first?" Zhu Tianyi pulled out the list.

"It's rare to bring Qiqi out to buy some new clothes for her and the children. Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year." Mu Xi suggested.

"That makes sense. I forgot about it when I went back yesterday." Zhu Tianyi patted his head.

The two first brought Qiqi to the children's clothing floor. The two men and a child attracted the attention of many people. Some girls even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

"...Is that what I mean?" Zhu Tianyi looked a little embarrassed.

"Yeah." Mu Xi nodded, he was also a little uncomfortable, "Let's go separately, you go to the supermarket to buy things, and I'll go find you after buying presents."

"...Can you do it?" Zhu Tianyi was a little worried, after all, Mu Xi didn't look like he had taken care of a child.

"Don't worry." Mu Xi nodded, "If you can't get it, I will call you."

Zhu Tianyi left in peace after hearing this sentence, and Mu Xi obviously felt that the sight of him fell a lot less.

"Where did Brother Zhu Zhu go?" Qiqi asked in a low voice, it was the first time she came to a place with so many people, she was a little scared, and tightly clutched Mu Xi's clothes.

"He went to buy food for other children." Mu Xi patted her on the back reassuringly, "Shall we go buy clothes?"

"Okay." Qiqi nodded and replied, after thinking for a while she said, "Buy some better ones for my brother and sister, Qiqi can wear her brother's and sister's."

Qi Qi looked at Mu Xi with bright eyes, her well-behaved appearance made Mu Xi want to buy everything for her: "Buy for my brothers and sisters, and also for Qi Qi."

Seeing the child's happy appearance, Mu Xi's heart was so soft that he silently made a decision in his heart - he must adopt a child in a few years, when he can give the child a home.

It was the first time for Mu Xi to buy children's clothes, and he didn't know how to choose them. The salesperson kept recommending all kinds of clothes, and Qi Qi was so scared that he hid himself, so he could only support himself.

Qiqi looks very cute, so Mu Xi thinks that all clothes look good on her, probably because she listened to the dean's words, Qiqi didn't choose those princess dresses that she couldn't take her eyes off, but chose a thick coat and Pants: "Grandma Dean said to wear comfortable clothes."

Then, Qi Qi carefully chose clothes for each of her brothers and sisters, but she was already drowsy after the selection. After all, she was still young and couldn't concentrate for so long.

Mu Xi asked the waiter to wrap up all the clothes, and even picked out an extra skirt for Qi Qi.Although the amount was a bit surprising, Mu Xi still swiped the card. After all, the child's happiness is more important, isn't it?

He was holding Qi Qi and a big bag of clothes, he could only stop and go, when suddenly he seemed to see a familiar figure - it was Fan Chen.

Fan Chen was sitting in the restaurant directly opposite Mu Xi, facing an intellectual beauty, Fan Chen didn't know what to say, the girl covered her mouth and laughed.

Such a harmonious scene made Mu Xi feel inexplicably upset. He knew that he was supposed to bless his friends, but he didn't know why he felt sour.

[Fan Chen and I are just friends. ] Mu Xi convinced himself in his heart that Fan Chen was too kind to him, so good that he blurred the boundaries of friends, he really just wanted to be friends with him.

However, it would be a lie to say that there was no throbbing. Reason kept telling him that the other party was a straight man, so he suppressed all the throbbing in his heart and turned it into the so-called pleasure between friends.

"Mu Xi, you are right to do this." Mu Xi said to himself, "Look, people like Fan Chen deserve better."

Unconsciously tightening her hands, Qiqi slowly woke up: "Brother Xixi?"

"Qiqi, I'm sorry, did I hurt you?" Mu Xi was a little flustered.

In a daze, Qi Qi kissed Mu Xi's cheek, rubbed it like a small animal coquettishly, and continued to squint, she was really sleepy.

Seeing Qi Qi's cute appearance, the boredom in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot, and he kissed Qi Qi's blushing face from sleep.

"The father and son outside are very cute." The girl opposite Fan Chen pointed to the two outside the glass.

Fan Chen heard the words and looked out, but he didn't expect to see the person he had been thinking about all the time: "I'm sorry, I'll go out for a while."

He left without regard for his demeanor, leaving the girl in a daze.

"Mu Xi." Fan Chen stepped forward to take the things from Mu Xi's hand, which directly shocked Mu Xi.

"Brother Fan?" Seeing Fan Chen's heart subconsciously contracted, Mu Xi smiled awkwardly, "What a coincidence."

"Yeah." Seeing Mu Xi's uncomfortable expression, Fan Chen knew that the other party must have seen it, and he half-truthfully explained, "My mother forced me to come."

He seemed completely unaware that this matter was clearly requested by himself.

Seeing Fan Chen's helpless expression, the sourness in his heart dissipated a lot, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit upset when he thought that the other party was still going to get married and have children. Mu Xi could only keep hypnotizing himself. He and Fan Chen were just ordinary friends.

After calming down, Mu Xi said in a teasing tone: "It's pretty good."

"I don't like it." Fan Chen answered decisively, probably because Fan Chen answered too quickly, causing Mu Xi to look at him suspiciously, and he could only add, "I prefer free love."

Mu Xi nodded: "Brother Fan, I have to go down, Zhu Zhu is waiting for me."

"Let me accompany you, there are too many things." Only then did Fan Chen notice that Mu Xi was holding a child in his arms, "This is?"

Mu Xi, who was inconvenient to explain clearly, could only answer casually: "The child of Zhu Zhu's family."

"Why did you bring his child?" Fan Chen's expression became uneasy.

Seeing Fan Chen's expression, Mu Xi felt a little confused, but he only thought it was because the other party felt sorry for him taking care of someone else's child, so he could only explain in a low voice, and after explaining, he added: "Don't say it."

"Don't worry." Fan Chen nodded in a good mood, "The child is very cute."

After walking for a long time, Mu Xi remembered that Fan Chen's blind date was still in the restaurant, Fan Chen replied very calmly: "I already told her when I came out."

Mu Xi nodded without further investigation. He was a little tired holding the child, and he really didn't have the energy to think too much.

Therefore, he didn't notice that the eyes of the people around him were falling on them more and more than when he was with Zhu Tianyi just now.
