Gu Xiaozhan grinned, "Is it like this?"
Mu Anhan laughed even harder, "Yes, yes, yes! Big brother is amazing!"
"Still in character?" Gu Xiaozhan’s deep eyes locked onto her.
Mu Anhan broke character in an instant, "It’s fun! Anyway, since you won’t let me act, why not change roles and play?"
Gu Xiaozhan: "..."
After finishing KFC, they walked out, and there were a lot of kids playing with scooters in the square.
Gu Yao wanted to play too. Gu Yu was more timid, afraid of falling and getting hurt.
"Yao Yao, come on, mommy will play with you!" Mu Anhan waved him over.
"Wow, mommy, do you know how?" Gu Yao was a bit surprised.
Mu Anhan laughed, "I’ve played since I was little!"
She’s not good at studying, but she’s good at playing everything.
Mu Anhan found a scooter and explained to Gu Yao how to play, then started riding.
She tossed her trench coat to Gu Xiaozhan, "Honey, hold this for me!"
She was wearing a white turtleneck sweater with the hem tucked into her jeans, her ponytail tied high. Moving energetically, she drew cheers from all around as she performed tricks on the scooter.
"Wow, mommy is so cool!" remarked Gu Yu, watching as a little audience member.
Gu Xiaozhan was also happy for Mu Anhan, as exercise brings more vitality to life. He would rather she love sports than get involved in scandals with other men all day.
"Mommy has a lot more amazing things you haven’t seen yet!" he generously praised his wife in front of their daughter.
No matter how great one’s achievements, nothing compares to a family living happily together.
Seeing her mom, a woman, play so freely, Gu Yu also wanted to try, "I also want to play."
"Go ahead! Don’t be afraid!" Gu Xiaozhan hoped that even if she was spoiled, she’d still be able to spread her wings and fly. "Look, your brother learned immediately, and you’re so smart, you’ll get it quickly too."
Encouraged by her dad, Gu Yu seemed to gain some confidence.
"Mommy, I want to play too..."
Mu Anhan let Gu Yao play by himself, then scooted over to her daughter, "Yu Er, falling hurts a lot, are you ready to endure it?"
Gu Yu was a bit scared; she was most afraid of pain.
Her eyes flickered, unsure of what to do.
"If you’re scared, you won’t learn," Mu Anhan smiled. "When I started, I also fell many times before I could play like this."
As she said this, she performed another scooter trick in front of her daughter, moving with agility yet lightness.
Watching her animatedly, Gu Xiaozhan could easily imagine the younger her, outstandingly beautiful, skating on her scooter amidst a group of teenagers, becoming the center of attention.
It wasn’t just her beauty that drew attention, but also her shining spirit and her determination while playing.
Gu Yu went off to play but soon started crying.
Because the fall hurt too much.
And Mu Anhan, lacking sympathy, laughed and left her to Gu Xiaozhan to care for.
Gu Yao could already glide freely. He fell many times too, but each time, he got up and continued to learn.
So, Mu Anhan teased Gu Xiaozhan, "Honey, did you cry when you fell as a kid?"
"Who told you that?" Gu Xiaozhan asked, holding Gu Yu, who had cried herself to sleep.
Mu Anhan glanced at their daughter in his arms, "Look, she cries when she falls. She’s nothing like me! She inherited our genes; if she didn’t inherit this from me, it must be from you."
