Being carried by Cheng Huan, he wrapped his little arms around her neck and said, "Mom, can we have buns again for lunch?"
Cheng Huan was still contemplating what to have for lunch and lifted her brows when she heard him say that. "You like buns that much?"
"Uh huh!" The little kiddo nodded decisively. "I like buns the most!"
Cheng Huan looked at him and asked, "Don't you want to try something else that I make?"
His arms around her neck tightened som,e and the little kiddo rested his little chin on her shoulder and said softly, "I want buns the most."
"Okay, I will make you more buns then." Cheng Huan gave in. She didn't mind granting him such a small request.
"Yay, mom's the best!" After his request was accepted, the little kiddo turned lively all over again. He sat up straight and planted a kiss on Cheng Huan's cheek. "XingXing loves his mommy!"
Meeting the little kid's gaze that's filled with anticipation, Cheng Huan didn't hesitate for too long before she, too, planted a kiss on his cheek back. "And mommy loves XingXing also."
Cheng Huan regretted a little for accepting the little kid's request.
They ended up having buns for three days straight.
The kid was smart. He could tell that Cheng Huan would give in and has been pushing his luck. Every time around meals' time, he'd come and moan and whine about wanting buns.
Cheng Huan was a pushover and gave in every time after he gave her a few kisses.
It's been THREE days! Now, she felt nauseated even just looking at buns. The little kiddo, on the other hand, showed no sign of getting tired of it and wanted more and more each time.
Dinner that night, Cheng Huan firmly rejected his request for more buns.
The little kiddo didn't cry or fuss after he was rejected. He just stood to one side and looked at her with his big, round eyes, making him look even more pitiful than usual. One look at him and Cheng Huan almost gave in again. But remembering those damned buns, she made up her mind again and turned away from him.
XingXing was sad for a little over an hour before he was revived with a full HP at the dinner table.
In his bowl, there were gluten balls. The filling inside was made with pork belly, water chestnut, and carrots along with Cheng Huan's house sauce. It was incredibly savory.
XingXing ate so much that his whole face was covered in grease. He had long since forgotten about the buns. Stuffrf, he sighed as he leaned back in his chair.
"Meat is so tasty!"
Cheng Huan gave him a look and asked, "What about buns?"
The little kiddo didn't even miss a beat when he said, "Buns are tasty too!"
He was much closer to Cheng Huan now. Having said that, he leaped off of the chair, walked in front of Cheng Huan, and flattered her, "Everything that Mom made was tasty. The tastiest in the world!"
"How much have you ever eaten to know that it's the tastiest in the world?" said Cheng Huan as she tapped him on his nose. His words, however, made her much happier inside.
Kids were, indeed, the cutest of all creatures. Transmigrating over here was a good deal!
After dinner, Cheng Huan went to do dishes. The little kiddo, as usual, followed behind her. He stood at the entrance of the kitchen and watched her as she did dishes. From time to time, he'd ask her some random questions.
Cheng Huan had a lot on her mind, so she didn't put too much effort in responding to him.
After she had put away the cleaned bowls and dried her hands, she walked over to XingXing and squatted down in front of him.
"Darling, there's something Mom wants to talk to you about."
"What is it?" The little kiddo became solemn as well.
"This apartment is too small. Mom wants to move to a bigger place. What does XingXing think about that?"
Cheng Huan had been thinking about moving since the first day she had transmigrated over. She had looked at quite a few apartments online and had some ideas. All of them are much better than their current place.
She thought about it for a few days and decided to start looking at them in person tomorrow. She wanted to discuss it with XingXing beforehand. After all, this was the place that he had been staying at since he was born. She was worried that he'd be scared to move to a new environment all of a sudden. She wanted to give him a heads up first.
XingXing was only 4 years old and didn't have any concept of moving. Cheng Huan explained it to him in detail.
After he had listened to her carefully, he thought it through in his not-so-big head and asked, "Is Mommy going to bring me with her?"
Cheng Huan nodded. "Yes. We will move together."
"Okay, let's move then." The little kiddo threw himself at her, and in his soft, milky voice, he said next to her ear, "As long as XingXing stays with his mommy."
