"no problem!"

"Be gentle and kind, intelligent and capable."

"That's my forte!"

"You need to have a perfect understanding and telepathy with your family!"

"Ha, not difficult at all!"

"Be diligent and hardworking."

"Haha, it's not even a question... Huh?"

Hongli suddenly paused, blinked, and looked at Xiaohuo: "Hardworking and resilient?"

"uh-huh."

Xiao Huo nodded firmly.

"Suffering?"

"Ah."

"Hardworking!"

"Humph!"

Hong Li's expression froze. Suddenly, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and smiled sweetly, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.

"Ha, never mind then. Suddenly I don't want to be a good wife and mother anymore. I guess I'll just be a little piece of trash and suck blood from Black Sun!"

Little Fire: "..."

Oh, right, she suddenly remembered another reason for being away from her mother for more than three days... Staying with her parents meant going hungry for three days and going hungry nine times!

Xiao Huo even had some doubts: would her parents turn around and make her take care of them instead?

[Ha, my dear daughter, it's time to show your parents how filial you are!]

[Keep it up! This is good practice for you. Learning more skills is never a bad thing!]

[Hmm, when you grow up, you'll definitely thank your lazy parents now... Mmm...]

[Haha, what your mom means is that when you grow up, you'll thank yourself for working so hard now!]

Yes, yes, with these survival skills, you'll be able to survive much longer if you're trapped at the bottom of a cliff!

Little Fire: "..."

So how did she, a flamingo, get trapped at the bottom of the cliff?

Wait, it seems like she's complaining about the scene she imagined...

Little Huo's head was brimming with all sorts of whimsical ideas until his mother gently patted his head, bringing him back to his senses.

"Alright, enough fooling around, let's get on the airship first."

Hongli stood up, put down the hem of the coat she was carrying, and reached out her hand to Xiaohuo.

"This time the distance is much shorter than before, and at the slowest speed it will only take two hours."

"oh oh……"

Xiao Huo paused for a moment, then took his mother's hand and nodded.

She looked at her mother's dark red coat with some curiosity. Well, how should I put it? He looked very cool!

But... it's so long... it almost covers my calves...

However, my own mother isn't very tall to begin with. (crossed out)

It's definitely because the clothes are too long! (Correct)

Hongli frowned, instantly noticing the curious gazes beside her. She then locked onto Xiao Huo and looked down at him, asking, "What are you looking at?"

"Ah, no, no..."

Xiao Huo chuckled twice, but couldn't resist his curiosity. Wearing Hong Li's coat, his eyes gleamed.

"That means Xiao Huo hasn't seen this dress of his mother's before!"

"Ah, this..."

Hongli looked down at the coat with a speechless expression and said slowly, "I haven't worn this much since I bought it. I only wore it to my mom today because I used the cold weather as an excuse."

"Ah this..."

A few question marks appeared on the small fire.

Seeing her daughter's gaze, Hongli furtively glanced around a few times, sighed, and gently unbuttoned the middle two buttons, slightly revealing the clothes underneath.

"Look for yourself."

"Eh?"

Little Fire looked over curiously, then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

From her angle, she could clearly see her mother's petite figure under the red coat, wearing a bright white dress that caught her eye, looking very quiet and lovely.

"Wow... Wow..."

Little Fire's eyes widened, his mouth agape, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Wow, so beautiful! Mommy is so pretty!"

"Shh!"

Hongli quickly covered her daughter's mouth, fastened her buttons with one hand, and said with a solemn expression, "Don't tell anyone about this. I'm ashamed to face anyone. It's so difficult!"

"Huh? Why?"

Xiao Huo looked confused: "Isn't it pretty?"

"It looks good, but..."

Hong Li revealed her crescent-shaped eyes, looking utterly dejected. She wished it could be set to "visible only to Black Sun."

"Little Fire has so many little dresses now!"

Little Huo beamed with joy: "Grandma and Grandpa gave them to me, they're so cute!"

Little Fire looks so pretty in them! Little Fire loves them so much, and they've put them in her little wardrobe!

"uh-huh."

Hongli glanced at Xiao Huo expressionlessly, and couldn't help but complain, "You talk a good game, but I've never seen you wearing it out."

"Ah this..."

Xiao Huo looked down at his shirt and trousers and chuckled awkwardly.

"Well, Xiao Huo thinks that since Mom rarely wears these kinds of clothes, Xiao Huo wanted to learn from Mom so that they would look more like mother and daughter..."

"I just didn't expect this..."

Xiao Huo pouted: "Mom suddenly changed her mind."

"Hey, do you think I wanted to?"

Hongli rolled her eyes and looked at Xiaohuo with displeasure.

"But speaking of which, why don't you wear any? Didn't Mom tell you to dress you up nicely?"

"Ah, because..."

Xiao Huo said with a grin, "Because my Xiao Huo looks cute in anything she wears!"

Yes, that's what Grandma and the others said!

Hongli: "..."

Is this what they call differential treatment?

Is this what they call the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren?

What you can't have always stirs your heart, while those who are favored take it all for granted...

At that moment, Hongli realized that a sadly thick barrier had already separated her from her parents!

There's no place for Hongli in her mother's family anymore! Waaaaah...

Damn it, luckily she still has Hei Yang to rely on. With Hei Yang, she's not afraid of anything. Where is her Hei Yang?

Hongli turned her head in confusion, and then saw a scene that made her blood pressure soar: her own mother was patting her husband's head with a kind expression!

This is... this is a desperate measure!

"Yu Ying, don't feel embarrassed..."

Qing Yiyi smiled and patted her son's shoulder, saying, "This brat is disobedient and doesn't know any better outside. You don't need to come back and tell me. Just treat him like your own son and discipline him."

I'd been saying before that Xiaoyang should recognize you as his godmother, but it never happened. Now that they're together, you're still his mom, hehehe.

"Oh, look at what you're saying, Yiyi."

Lan Yuying patted her son-in-law's head with a smile and said gently, "I've watched Xiaoyang grow up since he was a child, and I've always treated him like my own child."

We both know those kids; they're not the type to cause trouble, so there's no need to scold them, haha.
