Outside the courtyard, a screech of brakes announced the arrival of an extended Ferrari. The car door opened, and a group of children, led by Xiao Mengru, tumbled out, clutching their toys contentedly as they ran into the courtyard.
Their joyous laughter could be heard from afar. When Ye Xuan and Luo Tianyi returned, they were greeted by three adorable children, their eyes wide. Upon seeing their parents, their little faces lit up with excitement, and their tiny arms and legs flailed as they leaned forward, clearly wanting to be picked up.
"Mommy, look..."
"Uncle Ye Xuan got this for me," Xiao Mengru chirped happily, handing two toys to Chen Ziyan. "Mommy, you don't know, Uncle Ye Xuan was so amazing just now..."
Xiao Mengru then recounted, in great detail, how her uncle had won toys from the claw machine. Her words stunned the surrounding listeners, who had never imagined Ye Xuan to be so skilled at it.
Looking at the two toys in Xiao Mengru's and Chen Yan'er's hands, they wondered when claw machines had become so easy to master.
...
After dinner, the family gathered in the brightly lit room.
"Uncle Ye Xuan, Uncle Ye Xuan, Mommy says you sing beautifully! Can you sing us a song?" Xiao Mengru's sweet, charming voice filled the room. The group, having just finished their meal, all perked up at her words, their eyes sparkling with interest.
"That's a great idea! Hehe, cousin, go for it!"
"I'll get the microphone!!" Chen Yan'er, always ready to stir things up, trotted off towards a corner of the courtyard, clearly familiar with the microphone's hiding place.
Sure enough, after a short while, Chen Yan'er returned with a microphone in hand, which she then presented to her cousin Ye Xuan. She didn't forget to offer him a thumbs-up for encouragement, "Cousin Ye Xuan, I believe in you~"
Chen Yan'er giggled. She was a loyal fan of her cousin Ye Xuan's, listening to every song he released, all of which were fantastic. It wasn't just her; several of her close friends also adored her cousin Ye Xuan. However, she had never told them that the Ye Xuan who had taken the internet by storm was her cousin, otherwise, her life would undoubtedly be turned upside down.
"Come to think of it, I've never heard Xiao Xuan sing live before," Aunt Chen Xiaoyan said, her gaze fixed on her nephew, her eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.
It wasn't just Aunt Chen Xiaoyan; Aunt Chen Xiaoying and the others in the room also stared at Ye Xuan with equal curiosity, their meaning clear.
"This..."
"Alright!" Seeing the insistent enthusiasm of his maternal grandfather's family, Ye Xuan then handed a USB drive to Chen Yan'er, asking her to put it into the speaker. The drive contained the instrumental track for the song he was about to sing.
"This song, I want to dedicate to our three little princesses, and also to every child present." He paused, then looked dotingly at his three adorable children. "The name of this song is 'The King Calls Me to Patrol the Borders'."
"I hope everyone here will like it."
Chen Yan'er then played the instrumental, and a cheerful melody filled the air.
"The sun winks at me,"
"The birds sing for me to hear,"
"I am a diligent worker,"
"A little pixie who doesn't cling,"
"..."
"Don't ask me where I come from,"
"Don't ask me where I'm going,"
"I want to pick the most beautiful flowers,"
"And offer them to my little princess."
...
The cheerful voice momentarily stunned everyone in the room. Then, Xiao Mengru and the other children's eyes widened. "Wow, Uncle Ye Xuan (or Uncle) can sing songs like this!"
