Sky Curtain: My Happy Daily Life Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 35 Taking Sizi to the Hotel!

Chapter 35 Taking Sizi to the Hotel!

"Ding-dong—Next stop: Ningcheng East Station."

The electronic broadcast penetrated the crack in the door of the private room. Lu Chen picked up Si Zi, who was still rubbing her eyes, and pulled over the prepared suitcase.

The lights of the platform outside the window flowed by like water. Under the sky, everyone in Wanchao held their breath. They saw Lu Chen pick up Sizi with one hand and drag the suitcase with the other, walk through the corridor, and arrive at the high-speed rail exit. Outside, there was a brightly lit hall.

"What happened?"

"Is it another underground hall outside?"

The people of Wanchao stared intently at the sky.

"Erlang! Sizi has gotten off the carriage!" Empress Zhangsun exclaimed excitedly.

"Hmm. But where will Lu's parents pick him up?" Li Shimin asked anxiously.

"They're definitely outside; there's no one here to pick them up."

"Yes. I was too hasty." Li Shimin's eyes gleamed with anger.

"Brother, what's wrong with Mommy and Daddy?" Little Si was equally anxious.

"Don't worry, we'll see them when we take the elevator up." Lu Chen took out a jacket from his backpack and put it on Si Zi.

"Pot, it's so warm." Little Sizi shrank his neck.

"Oh. It's a bit cold here." Lu Chen put on his coat as well.

"Second Prince, look how well the young master takes care of his brother." Empress Zhangsun's eyes were full of spring sunshine.

"Yes, even I am not this thoughtful." Li Shimin held Empress Zhangsun's hand tightly. He wondered if Lu Chen's parents were as kind as her.

Lu Chen and Xiao Sizi boarded the elevator private room again.

"Guoguo, are Mom and Dad outside the elevator?" Zhouzi blinked her big, bright eyes.

"We still have a long way to go before we see Mom and Dad," Lu Chen said, patting the little guy's round head.

"Oh, Wogee Island."

Whoosh~~ The elevator doors opened, revealing another lobby.

Walk a little further and you'll come to a bright, sunlit hall!

There is a passageway for the exit from the station here.

Lu Chen swiped his ID card and brought Sizi out.

"Lu Chen!"

"Sizi!"

"Mom and Dad are here!"

Then I saw my parents waving from the waiting area next door!

Outside the canopy, all eyes were on them.

"Hey! Young man, your parents look so young!"

"What a perfect couple!"

"No wonder the young man is so handsome!"

"These two are absolutely qualified to be the little princess's parents!"

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun clasped hands, their eyes moist: "The Lu family parents have arrived!"

The mother, with an oval face, was wearing a beige knitted sweater, and her smile was as gentle as melting honey.

The father, with his rectangular face, carried a small backpack with a cartoon pattern on it, his eyes full of affection.

Little Sizi leaned on her brother's shoulder, tilting her head to look him over: "Brother, are those Mom and Dad?"

Lu Chen stopped and pointed at the couple, saying softly, "Yes, those are Mom and Dad."

"Dad, Mom~~" Little Sizi reached out to greet them.

"~~"

My parents rushed over immediately.

The woman's face lit up with a smile, her voice as sweet as honey: "My little Sisi! She looks just like Chenchen when she was little, with those round, bright eyes, so adorable."

"Come here, let Mom hug you." Mom handed a pink bunny coat to Dad: "Old Lu, look how well Chenchen takes care of Sizi, she even knows to put a coat on the child. I'll put this one away for now."

"Yes, Chenchen has really grown up." Dad handed over the small backpack, the little rabbit ears on it twitching: "Sizi, this is a gift for you, it has sweet cookies and jelly inside."

"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Little Sizi's eyes narrowed into slits again.

"Let's go, let's take the car!" Dad took the suitcase from Lu Chen's hand.

"Son, you've done a great job this time, bringing home such a wonderful daughter for your parents." Dad said happily.

"Thank you for the compliment, Dad."

"Yes. Our little Sizi is so good! She's well-behaved, beautiful, and not shy at all! You can't find another one like her in our village!" Mom said, as if she had found a treasure.

Little Sizi nestled in the woman's arms, inhaling her faint fragrance, and suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart, like being covered with a thin blanket inside the belly of a silver dragon.

Ripples appeared on the sky once again.

In the Lizheng Hall of the Great Tang Dynasty, Empress Zhangsun watched as Madam Lu carried the child away, tears welling up in her eyes: "The Lu family truly loves Sizi!"

Li Shimin turned his back, his dragon robe trembling slightly on his shoulders, and a hoarse whisper escaped his throat: "Good—it's alright—someone has taken care of her for me."

In the Xianyang Palace of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng suddenly threw a bamboo slip to the ground: "Can even fake parents truly treat their children with sincerity? Issue an order! From this day forward, the salaries of wet nurses in the palace shall be tripled!"

In the Weiyang Hall of the Han Palace, Liu Che laughed loudly, then suddenly choked up: "If Huo Qubing had received this warmth in his childhood—" The jade pendant tightly held in his sleeve cracked.

In the teahouse, an old woman wiped away tears and said to her grandson, "Look at this world a thousand years later, even a complete stranger's child is cherished!"

The idlers silently put away their gambling equipment, muttering, "Tomorrow—I'll buy my daughter a real flower too."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed repeatedly, "My life is still so bitter! Look at the little princess's life, it's a hundred times sweeter than sugarcane!"

Emperor Qianlong tapped his fingertip and said, "A reunion across a thousand miles is but a snap of the fingers."

In countless times and spaces, the hands of countless emperors and generals are quietly wiping away the starlight from the corners of their eyes.

The family of four got into the father's Buick minivan.

My mom, holding Sizi, sat down in the back row.

"Hey! Today, my daughter, son, and I are sitting in the back! Lu Chen, sit here and protect Xiao Sizi!" Mom patted the seat.

"Yes, ma'am!" Lu Chen sat down.

"Dad, shall we go straight home?"

"No. Son, this time our family will stay in the city for a few days, have fun, and then go back," Dad said casually.

"Huh? Dad, when did you become so open-minded? You've never taken me on a trip in all my years." Lu Chen really couldn't understand.

"Your dad is just covering things up. We told each other back in our hometown that we're going to Xiangnan to pick up the child from the orphanage. We need to stick to the same story when we get home. Then we'll take Sizi to the hospital for a checkup. We can't let our guard down; the child's health is the most important thing," Mom added.

"Oh." Lu Chen nodded repeatedly. "Dad is still the same old Dad. Sizi, remember, you're from Hunan. Never mind, who would be so insensible as to ask you these questions? Alright, Sizi, I'll take advantage of you and play outside for a few days."

"Old Lu, let's go to the botanical garden to see the peonies tomorrow. They're in full bloom these days. It's a rare opportunity for us to come here. I haven't seen them since five years ago," Mom exclaimed.

"Let's go for a medical check-up tomorrow morning and see the peonies in the afternoon," Dad decided.

"Okay! But don't let anyone eat breakfast tomorrow morning, okay?" Mom said cheerfully.

"Huh? We're all getting a full checkup?" Lu Chen was terrified of the injection. "Mom and Dad, you two go ahead with the checkup, I don't need to."

"Alright, Lu Chen is young, so he doesn't need to be checked."

"Dad, I'm young too, I don't need a checkup," Little Sizi chimed in.
