Even at the tender age of three, Huo Shi possessed remarkable fluency in speech, earning widespread admiration for his linguistic talents.
The winter this year presented an unusual severity, with the entire city encased in a blanket of snow despite it being merely December.
The expansive grounds of the Huo family manor were similarly adorned in white.
Dressed in a substantial down jacket, Huo Shi and Mumu were engrossed in building snow figures in the garden.
"Huo Shi, my mother is expecting a new sibling for me. When will Auntie have a little sister for you?"
!!
Mumu used the term 'Auntie' in reference to Yan Jinyi, a designation he adopted after Tan Sangsang's marriage to Huo Zihang.
Retrieving a snowball, Huo Shi tossed it playfully at Mumu. "My mommy says I’m enough; I don’t need a little sister."
"Careful, or Second Uncle might hear you and have your head!"
Huo Shi remained unfazed. "Mommy will protect me. Daddy wouldn't dare."
While his pronunciation of 'Mommy' was slightly slurred, 'Daddy' came out with perfect clarity.
This year's fashion week convened on the northern grasslands, providing Shen Yan with an opportunity to procure a considerable quantity of authentic lamb.
That evening, the family gathered for a hearty mutton hotpot.
Experiencing intense morning sickness, Tan Sangsang retreated to her room after only a couple of mouthfuls.
"Daddy, having a baby seems so difficult. Please don't let Mommy have another one, okay?" Huo Shi pleaded in a soft tone.
Yan Jinyi was deeply moved, showering her son with affectionate kisses. "My baby, you care about me the most."
Huo Xishen, however, seemed indifferent.
"Mommy, does Daddy dislike me? Why won't he talk to me?"
"He's just unhappy with the world. Pay him no mind."
Huo Shi nodded, extending his arm to assist Yan Jinyi towards the food.
"Huo Shi is truly a well-behaved child," Shen Yan observed, her heart warmed. "No wonder you're Mommy's little treasure."
"Aunt Shen Yan, when will you be having a little sister for me?" Huo Shi inquired, having coined this nickname himself.
Besides his parents, Shen Yan was the person he felt closest to within the family.
This time, Huo Chengyu interjected, "You should be urging me to try harder."
Huo Shi tilted his head. "Then try harder!"
Presiding from the main seat, Huo Xian beamed with joy watching the family's unity. The only remaining single member was Huo Qingyuan.
"Qingyuan, when are you planning to find a boyfriend?"
Huo Qingyuan, long accustomed to such questions, responded with a composed expression, "Grandpa, I am still young. Those men out there are only interested in my wealth and looks; they are quite shallow."
Yan Jinyi rolled her eyes and retorted without hesitation, "Is there anything else you offer besides that?"
"..."
'Even Second Sister-in-law dislikes me now. How unfortunate I am.'
"It’s alright, Auntie. I'll marry you when I grow up!" Huo Shi declared, patting his chest.
"What a good boy! I'll buy you a lollipop."
Following dinner, Huo Xian led his cherished great-grandsons outside to construct snowmen, while Yan Jinyi warmed herself by the fireplace.
"My dear, Sangsang is definitely carrying a boy," Huo Xishen murmured, approaching to sit beside her.
"Can you really predict the future?"
"It’s merely a premonition."
Yan Jinyi offered a perfunctory nod.
"My dear, Grandpa would actually prefer a great-granddaughter over a great-grandson."
Yan Jinyi raised an eyebrow.
"It's been a year since Chengyu and Shen Yan reconciled, yet they still haven't conceived," Huo Xishen continued after a brief pause. "We should make an effort to help fulfill Grandpa's wish."
Huo Chengyu had indeed found it challenging to win Shen Yan back, but Yan Jinyi had provided him considerable assistance.
"That has nothing to do with me. Don't you love our son?"
Just as Huo Xishen was about to respond, Huo Shi entered, proudly holding a miniature snowman.
"Daddy, Mommy, I have a gift for you both!"
Despite the biting cold that flushed his cheeks, he remained utterly endearing.
"My baby is so incredibly well-behaved."
Yan Jinyi opened her arms, lifting her son into an embrace, and they became lost in their own world of play.
Huo Xishen let out a soft sigh, realizing he wasn't receiving much attention.
'It is as it is. Life unfolds this way.'
He had never imagined he could feel such profound love for someone.
