House Dad's Literary Life Chapter 393: The King Ordered Me to Patrol the Mountain

Chapter 393: The King Ordered Me to Patrol the Mountain

“Okay!” Xixi happily clapped her little hands. For the moment, having fun outweighed delicious food.

Yang Yi set up the automatic program on the soymilk machine to make soy milk. Then he started snapping his fingers to the beat, swaying his shoulders and shaking his head.

The action was quite interesting, and Xixi, who was standing at the kitchen door, couldn’t help but giggle.

“The sun winks at me, the birds sing to me…” Yang Yi sang in an exaggerated tone for the first time, as if he were deliberately imitating the tone one uses to coax a child, singing in a sweetly cheesy manner.

Watching him follow the lyrics, sometimes his right hand mimicked winking in front of his eyes, other times he posed as if listening intently. Singing and acting at the same time. The almost six-feet-tall man, behaved like a child, doing childish movements, which created an indescribable sense of incongruity. ¹Click HERE for the song and the dance

But so what?

Today, Yang Yi was in a “playful old man” mood. Feeling great, he started playing with his daughter.

“I’m a little demon who works hard and isn’t clingy~” Yang Yi’s tone completely imitated the singing style of Father Jia in his previous life. At the end, he even put his hands on his hips and played the role of a little demon with exaggerated charm.

“Ha ha~ Ha ha~” Xixi was so amused by her father that she couldn’t stop laughing, thinking it was so funny.

Xixi knew what a demon was. Weren’t they the little demons in Journey to the West who were beaten the most and often had to take the blame for the big demons?

“Don’t ask me where I come from, don’t ask me where I’m going, I’m going to pick the most beautiful flower…”

There was a vase of daffodils in the kitchen that Mo Fei had arranged a few days ago. Daffodils bloom in early spring, and there were already a few flower buds when they were bought. Now they were all in full bloom, with their white, jade-like petals and tender yellow calyxes looking extremely beautiful!

However, today they met a tragic fate. While singing, Yang Yi picked one, then smiled and held it, and handed it to his daughter in a flattering manner, and then sang, “For my little princess!”

Xixi happily took it. She really liked the nickname “little princess” that her father gave her!

“Oh no, I almost forgot!” Yang Yi suddenly jumped on the ground and patted his head.

What was he playing? Xixi was a bit puzzled.

But soon, her father continued to sing, “The king ordered me to patrol the mountains, I’ll take a stroll around the world!”

The melody of this lyric was very pleasant, and it was also catchy like “Let It Go”. Xixi’s eyes lit up instantly.

“Beat my drum, strike my gong, life is full of rhythm…”

The kitchen was no longer enough to showcase Yang Yi’s “performance talent.” He snapped his fingers while approaching Xixi, and the little girl giggled while stepping back, eventually retreating into the dining room.

“The king ordered me to patrol the mountains, catch a monk for dinner…” Yang Yi really started to circle the dining table as if he were patrolling the mountains.

However, Xixi understood this time. She could tell that her father was pretending to be a little demon from Journey to the West. She giggled and said, “No way, Tang Monk can’t be eaten, you can’t eat people.”

“Then let’s sing it like this!” Yang Yi enthusiastically changed the lyrics on the spot, “The king ordered me to patrol the mountains, catch a girl for breakfast!”

Yang Yi even pointed at Xixi and winked at her.

“Not me either. I don’t taste good,” the little girl waved her hands, but her eyes were smiling in crescent shapes. She knew her father was just teasing her.

“This mountain stream water…”

When Xixi came out, she didn’t close the door behind her, and the noise from the kitchen and dining room still woke Mo Fei up.

She turned over and looked at her body which still had some kiss marks. Her face turned red, and she secretly muttered a reproach at Yang Yi.

Fortunately, after she put on her home pajamas, those kiss marks were covered. However, there was still a strawberry mark² on her fair neck, but since she didn’t need to go anywhere today, she wasn’t worried about it being discovered.

While combing her messy hair, Yang Yi’s singing kept echoing in her ears. Although she didn’t know what song Yang Yi was singing yet, Mo Fei could guess that this guy had composed another original song, and it sounded quite interesting!

When she came out of the bedroom and saw Yang Yi singing and dancing like a child, she stood there, surprised.

Was this still the usually composed Yang Yi?

Of course, this Yang Yi, who was now playing with his daughter, was more interesting. Mo Fei suddenly felt that he had become much more lively and full of life.

“The king ordered me… ordered me…” Yang Yi was imitating the action of carrying a weapon, twisting and turning as he performed. Suddenly, he felt someone watching him from behind. He instinctively turned around, and his voice froze.

Mo Fei was covering her mouth, stifling a laugh, as she leaned against the doorframe, watching him!

Yang Yi was embarra.s.sed now. It was one thing to act silly in front of Xixi, but it didn’t mean he had no shame! Now that Mo Fei saw him, Yang Yi was too embarra.s.sed to continue performing!

“Keep singing! I think it’s quite good!” Mo Fei chuckled; her beautiful eyes filled with laughter.

“Ahem, how does it go again?” Yang Yi pretended to play dumb.

However, Xixi believed it. The little girl was particularly enthusiastic. She raised her hand and stepped forward to help her father out, “Mama, I know how to sing it, I’ll sing it for you!”

In Yang Yi’s surprised eyes, Xixi actually sang in a serious manner, “The king ordered me to patrol the mountains, I’ll take a stroll around the world…”

The little girl’s voice was full of childlike innocence, and this kind of innocent singing was also filled with childlike charm, sounding extremely pleasant, even better than Yang Yi’s own singing!

“I don’t remember the rest…” Xixi could only sing the first line, and then she stuck out her little tongue and said, looking a bit embarra.s.sed.

Yang Yi and Mo Fei couldn’t help but laugh.

Mo Fei picked up her daughter and affectionately rubbed her little head, saying, “You already sang very well. Next time, let Papa teach you the whole song!”

“Mm-hmm, I want to sing it for Qiqi and Xin’er to hear!” Xixi waved her little hands and said excitedly.

At this moment, Mo Fei noticed the daffodil in Xixi’s hand. She curiously took her daughter’s hand, looked at the broken flower bud, and asked, “Hmm, this daffodil looks familiar!”

Yang Yi suddenly shuddered as he remembered that, in his excitement earlier, he had plucked the flowers that Mo Fei had arranged!

“Ahem, the walnut and peanut porridge is ready. I’ll go get it. Our breakfast today is good, haha!” Yang Yi laughed awkwardly and quickly slipped back into the kitchen.

But Xixi didn’t hesitate to sell her father out. She giggled and explained to her mother, “Papa gave it to me! Because I’m a little princess!”

“What are you?” Mo Fei was momentarily taken aback.

“A little princess!” The little girl said it very smoothly, as if that was how the word should be p.r.o.nounced. She also said seriously, “Papa said so!”

……

Usually, Mo Fei left her Weibo to be managed by Mo Xiaojuan. Apart from occasionally organizing celebrity and fan Q&A interactions on Weibo, Mo Fei rarely posted herself or shared her personal life with others.

However, Yang Yi’s proposal yesterday made her feel extremely happy, and even today, she still felt full of joy.

Even Mo Fei, at this moment, couldn’t resist the norm. She had an impulse to announce her good news to the world. If it weren’t for the original plan to wait until her contract issues were resolved before making it public, Mo Fei would have already shared her happiness with everyone.

Although she couldn’t say it directly, Mo Fei still wanted to express her feelings. After logging into her account on Yang Yi’s computer, she pondered for a while and finally posted a very subtle Weibo message:

“I am so happy! I’ve been smiling all the time!”

Not long after the post was published, many comments from fans started pouring in.

“Wow! Really? Mo Fei actually posted something like this?”

“The style is completely different…”

“Could it be that her account has been hacked? My Mo Fei is an iceberg queen; she wouldn’t post something so sappy!”

“I guess the agent got confused and posted on the wrong account! Hey, the person helping with Weibo, pay attention!”

It was really subtle, so much so that the fans thought it was a mistake or a joke, and they started teasing her, one comment after another.
