"Oh, that’s true, but didn’t you say you reunite with Sheng Sheng every Christmas? How about this: when Christmas comes this year, we all go together, and take a family photo as a keepsake. What do you think, bro?"

Gu Shaocheng pondered for a moment: "Christmas is in two months. If you’re all free, I’m flexible."

"I’m free, I want to see Sheng Sheng." Huanhuan tugged at Nan Baihao’s hand: "Honey, you have to come too, I really miss Sheng Sheng. Let’s go see Sheng Sheng as a family this Christmas."

Thinking about Sheng Sheng made Nan Baihao chuckle: "Sure!"

Sheng Sheng had swindled a month’s worth of bonuses from him, he definitely wanted to see what new tricks the little guy had learned.

The decision was made quite happily.

Before you knew it, another year had passed and it was Christmas. The most excited were Zun Zun and Wubai, because they hadn’t seen Sheng Sheng for an entire year and because the three of them were secretly planning to compete against each other on this day.

..........................................

Two days before Christmas, large snowflakes were already falling in San Francisco, America.

In front of Chao Lu’s cabin, it was exceptionally lively today.

A group of men were responsible for shoveling snow, and a group of women were preparing Christmas dinner. Meanwhile, Zun Zun, Sheng Sheng, and Wubai were undergoing tests by Gu Shaocheng and Chao Lu, under the guise of "a little competition!"

The only grown-up child, Bai Jiajia, was sitting inside, watching over the kids.

Jiajia sat on the sofa and poked Little Wenqing’s forehead: "Stay mellow, no crawling around."

Little Wenqing ignored him, continuing to crawl around beside him, audaciously reaching out to snatch Jiajia’s

phone, but Jiajia didn’t let him have his way. Little Wenqing was very displeased, waving his little chubby hands determinedly saying, "Wanna, wanna..."

"Brother is flirting, don’t snatch." Jiajia caught his hand and held him in his arms. Little Wenqing protested in his childish voice, clearly unhappy: "Flirt, flirt... wanna, wanna..."

"You want to flirt too? Haha, you’re so young!" Jiajia placed a piece of orange from the fruit platter into Little Wenqing’s mouth, "Be good, eat this. You’ll need a few more years of growth to flirt like me." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Little Wenqing babbled: "Flirt, flirt... eat, eat..."

Jiajia chuckled but didn’t pay further attention to Little Wenqing in his arms, quickly swiping through his phone, chatting away with his girlfriend.

Outside, Wubai felt frustrated for a moment, seeing Sheng Sheng’s victorious look, quietly clenched his fist, stepped back to clap Zun Zun on the shoulder: "Zun Zun, don’t let the team lose face."

"I’ll get your revenge!" Zun Zun sniffed, lamenting the freezing weather.

Gu Shaocheng and Chao Lu exchanged a look, Chao Lu proudly announced: "Shall we begin the second round?"

Gu Shaocheng nodded slightly.

Holding the broom and shovel, Nan Baihao and Bai Wuqing came over to watch, even Ling Yin was dragged alongside by Hua Hua.

Their test consisted of a written and a martial challenge.

Earlier, Wubai lost so miserably to Sheng Sheng in the first martial contest.

Even though he was a year older than Sheng Sheng and his martial arts skills were personally taught by Dad, he assumed he’d never lose to Sheng Sheng, but eventually lost face for Dad. Frustrated, he squatted by the side, using a twig to roll snowballs.
