Chapter 295 Summer Water Splash
Summers in Shanghai are hot and humid.
The cicadas chirped noisily in the air during the height of summer.
Shirai's mansion, however, seemed to completely shut out this hustle and bustle.
The courtyard is surrounded by greenery.
Inside, the central air conditioning system circulates air throughout the house, creating a cool and pleasant atmosphere.
Bai Li had just finished a video call and came out of the study when she saw a little boy carrying a small backpack with cartoon patterns, being led into the living room by Jing Ye.
The little girl had two pigtails, a tender face, and her two bright eyes lit up the moment she saw Bai Li. Then, her clear, childlike voice rang out: "Sister Bai! I'm here!"
Then she ran over happily, her little schoolbag bouncing on her back, I wonder how much summer homework she brought with her.
Bai Li quickly squatted down, opened her arms, caught the little one, and rubbed her head: "Little Flower, did you miss me?"
The little one is Shi Shui's younger sister, Shi Hua.
Her brother, Shi Shui, has devoted himself entirely to the docking work between the "Tian Gong" production team and the "Ling Xi" core, living and eating almost all in the laboratory, and returning home very rarely.
As for Shi Shui and Shi Hua's mother, who needed a follow-up medical check-up, Bai Li arranged for her to be admitted to her private hospital.
The remaining child, Shihua, who was on summer vacation and temporarily without anyone to take care of her, was taken care of by Baili for two days.
Shi Hua nestled into Bai Li's arms, nuzzling her head against Bai Li's neck, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Little Hua missed Sister Bai so much."
All of this was actually done intentionally by Bai Li.
To be honest, she was a little embarrassed.
Shi Shui had finally finished her research and should have been taking advantage of the summer vacation to go home and reunite with her family, but instead, she went back to the lab to rush to finish filming her movie.
Due to film scheduling issues, he is destined to have little time for his family.
Although it was Shi Shui himself who proposed it, his mother and sister did not have any objections.
But Bai Li still felt uneasy.
So she specially brought Shi Shui's mother and sister to Shanghai, so that the family could at least have a chance to meet.
At this moment, Shi Hua raised her little face with an expectant expression: "Brother said that there are many, many fun places in the city."
"Yes." Bai Li smoothed Shi Hua's hair, which she had ruffled, and while doing so, she listed the attractions, "There's Disneyland, Ocean Park, Science Museum... This summer, Bai-jie, shall I take you to play?"
"Yay!" Shi Hua jumped up excitedly, then remembered something and her face fell slightly: "But... Mom has a check-up tomorrow, and my brother is so busy... Is it okay for Xiao Hua to go play alone?"
The sensible Shihua, despite her young age, always habitually considers her family's needs.
"Don't worry." Bai Li took Shi Hua's hand and led her to the afternoon tea table that had been prepared. "Mom's follow-up check-up has the best doctor, and Brother Jingye will arrange everything."
After she led Shi Hua to sit down, she continued, "Your brother's situation is progressing well. He might be able to spare half a day to play with us in a few days."
"Now, your task is to have a happy vacation." Bai Li picked up a children's fork she had specially bought and handed it to Shi Hua. "Try the fruit tart ice cream that A He just made!"
On an exquisite bone china plate, desserts, as delicate as works of art, are arranged.
Bright red strawberries, golden mangoes, and green kiwis combine to create three flavors, which adorn a fluffy cream tart and are topped with glistening sorbet, instantly winning over children's hearts.
"Wow! So pretty!" Shi Hua took the small fork, hesitant to destroy the fruit tart that seemed to only exist in fairy tales. Under Bai Li's encouraging gaze, she carefully inserted a small piece and put it in her mouth.
The sweet and unique flavor combination was incredibly novel. The moment it entered her mouth, Shihua smiled happily, her eyes curving into crescent moons, and she exclaimed with her mouth puffed out, "Mmm...so delicious!"
"Sister Bai, you should eat too." Shi Hua wanted to fork a small piece for Bai Li as well.
Bai Li shook her head, rested her chin on her hand, and smiled as she looked at the seasonal flowers: "No need, I've already eaten. These were specially prepared for you."
"Okay~" Shi Hua was relieved and savored the food with satisfaction, like a little squirrel.
Seeing that Shi Hua had almost finished eating, Bai Li asked with a smile, "Little Hua, would you like to go see the place where your brother is creating 'magic'?"
