Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Candied Hawthorn

As the three little figures moved closer to them, their pink little cotton coats became even more eye-catching.

"Su Xingwan actually dresses the two boys like girls? What kind of parenting is that!" Ye Yixing commented.

However, Lu Yun had no opinions about this scene.

Su Xingwan and Tang Muya prepared to continue strolling with the three little ones; it was rare for them to come out, and tonight was New Year’s Eve, so they could have a good time.

Although it had snowed tonight, it wasn’t cold; on the contrary, with the snow, it felt even more like New Year’s.

When they arrived, there weren’t that many people on the street, but as night fell, the crowd grew.

Su Xingwan followed a group of pedestrians to the lively square.

There were many children there, and plenty of things for children to play with.

Looking around, many adults had brought their children to celebrate New Year’s here.

Su Xingwan didn’t notice that a discreet black car was quietly following them.

The car slowly pushed its way into the crowd, then found a spot to park beside the square.

At this moment, Ye Yixing stepped out of the car and walked toward them.

"What a coincidence! Fancy meeting you here!"

Su Xingwan and Tang Muya heard the familiar voice and turned their heads, surprised to see Ye Yixing.

"How are you?" Ye Yixing bent down, happily greeting the three little ones.

"Uncle Ye!" The two little ones saw him and shouted happily.

Ye Yixing reached out to pat their little heads; even as a grown man, he couldn’t resist giving their little tufts of hair a playful tweak.

As his large hand reached toward Little Su Yan’s head, Little Su Yan quickly turned away.

"What are you doing?" Little Su Yan glared at him.

Ye Yixing: ??? This kid’s personality really resembles my eldest cousin; he likes to act mature for no reason.

"What are you doing here?"

"Playing with Auntie!"

"Uncle Ye, did you come here to play too?"

Ye Yixing laughed, "Yes, I came specifically to play with you guys!"

After all, he’s their cousin uncle, and it’s only right to accompany them well.

The two little ones were overjoyed when they heard Uncle Ye say he’d play with them, jumping up and down on the spot.

"Then how about Uncle Ye takes you to play now?"

The two little ones heard this and glanced at their aunt.

Su Xingwan smiled, "Then go and play with Uncle Ye!"

"Okay!" the two little ones said happily, and then they pulled their big brother along, insisting on bringing Auntie and Aunt Tang too.

The square had many children’s entertainment options such as ring toss, rock throwing, and bouncy cars.

Ye Yixing led them deliberately toward where Lu Yun had parked.

The area was full of ring toss games, and he bought several buckets of colorful rings for the three little ones to play with.

Su Xingwan was about to pay when, the next second, Ye Yixing had already taken care of it.

Just as she was about to say something, Ye Yixing said with a smile, "I’ll cover all their play expenses today, it’s only fair since they call me Uncle Ye."

Su Xingwan thought of Ye Yixing’s status and then said.

"Then I’ll thank you on their behalf."

Ye Yixing waved his hand, "No need to thank me."

The two little ones holding the rings were excited beyond belief, with many small toys laid out in front of them. If they got a ring around one, they could take it home.

Little Su Hua and Little Su Luo each had their eye on a toy they liked.

However, the two little ones were too young to hit the targets; they were basically just playing with the rings in their hands.

Tang Muya saw this and went over to grab some rings, then handed a bunch to Su Xingwan.

"Come on, let’s play too; these little ones can’t hit anything. Maybe we can."

Soon, Su Xingwan had a lucky start, landing a pink ring around a plush toy.

"Auntie, you’re amazing!" Little Su Hua’s eyes lit up instantly seeing that.

Little Su Luo hadn’t gotten any yet, his little cheeks flushed.

He ran over and hugged Auntie’s leg, "Auntie! I want that pickup truck!"

The pickup truck Little Su Luo wanted was a bit further away, and she might not hit it.

"I’ll try," was all Su Xingwan could say.

Ye Yixing noticed the three little ones all gathering around their aunt, and felt a bit left out, so he quickly said, "Watch Uncle Ye, I’ll definitely win you a big plush toy tonight, even better than your auntie!"

Ye Yixing inexplicably felt competitive, and Tang Muya shook her head helplessly at his childish behavior.

The next successful ring toss was again Su Xingwan.

This time, she hit a blue piggy bank, so she gave the piggy bank to Little Su Yan, who was quietly observing and not participating much.

Little Su Yan looked surprised to receive the piggy bank.

Su Xingwan gently patted his head and handed him some rings, "Why don’t you go play with your younger siblings?"

Upon hearing this, Little Su Yan turned his head away, "The game is childish, I don’t want to play."

After he spoke, the tips of his ears uncontrollably blushed.

The two little ones heard their brother’s words and came running over, their big eyes filled with curiosity.

"It’s not childish, brother!"

"Yeah, this is the game we little kids play!"

Little Su Yan couldn’t out-argue them, so he simply closed his mouth and stopped talking.

The two little ones were still puzzled.

But they smiled again and said, "Big brother, how about we go ride the bouncy cars?"

Little Su Yan glanced at the bouncy cars in the distance, with their colorful lights and children’s songs playing, running back and forth.

He blurted out, "Even more childish."

Two little ones: ???

"Brother, they’re really fun!"

"Yeah! I’d love to ride right now!"

They finished their rings, and Ye Yixing, with his relentless effort, finally hit one too.

Each of the three little ones held a small toy, their little faces glowing with excitement.

Although Little Su Yan didn’t show it, Su Xingwan could see that he was actually quite happy.

Several bouncy cars ran past the three little ones, and their eyes were glued to them.

Ye Yixing immediately exclaimed, "Let’s go ride the bouncy cars!"

"Okay!" the two little ones gleefully jumped around.

Su Xingwan looked around, noticing a row of food stalls at the edge of the square.

She headed toward an old man sitting on a stone selling candied hawthorns.

"Uncle, how much are the strawberry ones?"

These days, candied hawthorns came in various flavors, including apple, date, tangerine, and strawberry.

"Fifteen yuan each."

"I’ll take three."

Su Xingwan took out her phone to scan the QR code, while the old man had already packaged the candied hawthorns for her.

A black car was parked behind her, with Lu Yun sitting inside, watching Su Xingwan buy candied hawthorns through the window.
