Breakfast ended, but Tang Keke mentioned she needed to head home for a bit. The general idea was that it was her grandmother's birthday, so she had to return to that village.
"Back to the village?" Ye Shuang thought of that peaceful little village and couldn't help but ponder for a few seconds whether they should tag along for some fun.
However, it seemed like Tang Keke was going back for several days, and Yuyou still had school on Monday.
Ultimately, Ye Shuang decided against going with her.
After finishing her breakfast, Tang Keke set off. Before leaving, she grinned and promised to bring back some local specialties for Yuyou.
"Make sure it's edible," a certain foodie added.
"Roger that."
After Tang Keke walked out the door with her backpack, only Ye Shuang, Bai Yuyou, and Little Yezi were left in the house. Just as Ye Shuang was wondering if he should take the two girls out for a walk, Little Yezi spoke up instead.
"Daddy, you and Mommy go out and have fun. Little Yezi wants to stay at home."
"Hmm?" Ye Shuang was quite surprised by Little Yezi's words, but he still asked, "Why do you want to stay at home? Wouldn't it be nice to go out and play with us?"
"Little Yezi is sleepy and wants to sleep a little longer," Little Yezi immediately replied. "Besides, Daddy probably wants to go out, right?"
"Well about that." Ye Shuang thought for a few seconds before Little Yezi continued, "Daddy isn't going out?"
Hearing this, Ye Shuang looked at Bai Yuyou beside him. "What do you think, Yuyou? Should we go out for a stroll, or stay at home with Little Yezi?"
Bai Yuyou shook her head. "I'm fine with anything."
What an all-purpose I am fine with anything.
But if Little Yezi wanted to sleep, staying cooped up at home the whole time wouldn't be great either. After all, they needed to buy some new underwear for Yuyou anyway.
"Then, Little Yezi, can you take good care of yourself?" Ye Shuang reached out and rubbed Little Yezi's head.
"It's fine, I still have Yi Wan." Little Yezi picked up the fat cat nearby. At this moment, Yi Wan looked completely bewildered, but still let out a meow, "Meow-nya."
"Alright then. Little Yezi, go to sleep if you are tired. If anything happens, just give me a call." Ye Shuang left a phone for Little Yezi. Given her age, even if she couldn't completely take care of herself, staying alone until dinner seemed to be no problem at all, especially since she just wanted to sleep.
"Daddy, can I use the computer?" Little Yezi suddenly asked.
"Hmm? Sure, do you know how to use it?"
"Big sister Tang Keke taught me. I want to watch some TV shows."
"Then go ahead, there is no password." Ye Shuang didn't overthink it and nodded.
"Okay~"
Seeing this, Bai Yuyou beside him also looked at Ye Shuang and softly asked, "Ye Shuang, we are going out?"
"Yeah, anywhere you want to go?" Ye Shuang thought about it carefully; it seemed like it had been a long time since he and Yuyou had gone out for a walk alone together. Ever since Tang Keke moved in, the two girls had been practically inseparable, even hanging out together whenever they went out.
"Where does Ye Shuang want to go?"
"I'm fine with anything."
"Ye Shuang is copying how I talk."
Since they decided to go out, Bai Yuyou returned to her room to change into an outfit for going out. By now, the girl no longer needed Ye Shuang to help prepare her clothes. She opened the wardrobe, which was filled with neatly arranged dresses.
Bai Yuyou had many white dresses because Ye Shuang said she looked great in them. However, there were different styles among them. After all, Ye Shuang didn't just buy her one type of clothing, and she would also go shopping with Tang Keke after school, occasionally picking up some suitable clothes.
"Hmm..." Bai Yuyou stared at the clothes in the wardrobe and began to zone out, until a voice came from beside her, "Mommy, haven't you finished changing yet?"
At this, Bai Yuyou turned her head and saw Little Yezi standing beside her. She nodded gently.
"I don't know what to wear."
"I will teach you." Little Yezi dragged a chair over, climbed up, and rummaged through the wardrobe for a bit. Before long, she pulled out a pair of black pantyhose.
"Put this on first, it makes your legs look slimmer."
"My legs aren't thick."
"It's fine, Mommy will look even prettier." Little Yezi then took out a white top and a black half-skirt.
Bai Yuyou, who had been incredibly conflicted, put on the clothes Little Yezi had prepared for her. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt it didn't look bad at all.
"Does it look good?" Bai Yuyou asked.
"Mommy's face is already pretty enough, the clothes just complement it. Plus, this outfit makes Mommy's legs look longer, even though they aren't short to begin with." Little Yezi said, nodding her little chin in satisfaction.
"Little Yezi, you are very enthusiastic," Bai Yuyou said.
"Am I?"
"You have become livelier." Bai Yuyou reached out and rubbed Little Yezi's head.
Little Yezi seemed to really enjoy being patted on the head, but she also tugged at Bai Yuyou's arm. "Don't make Daddy wait too long. Let's go out."
"Okay."
Meanwhile, Ye Shuang was still sitting on the sofa looking at his phone. He hardly needed to change clothes; a simple white T-shirt, black pants, a watch, and large slippers were enough for him to go anywhere.
On a relaxing weekend, comfort was the only priority.
At that moment, footsteps came from the stairs. Ye Shuang looked over and saw a pair of slender, long black legs stepping down.
"..."
Bai Yuyou quickly walked down the stairs and stepped in front of Ye Shuang, twirling around like a little penguin. "Does it look good?"
"Yeah, I haven't seen this outfit before," Ye Shuang said, as he didn't recall buying such clothes for the girl.
Dressed in a somewhat professional outfit, Bai Yuyou gave off an indescribable sense of maturity, yet it suited her surprisingly well. It seemed to be due to her good looks; sometimes, whether clothes look good or not really is determined by the wearer's appearance.

"Tang Keke bought it," Bai Yuyou said, stretching out her leg. "Ye Shuang, Little Yezi said my legs will look longer if I wear this."
"Black does make you look a bit slimmer and taller."
"Is that so?" Bai Yuyou lifted her skirt and measured the length of her legs.
Seeing the white panties peeking out from underneath, Ye Shuang coughed lightly. "Alright, you can't do that even at home."
"Oh."
"Yuyou, do you want to wear safety shorts?"
"It's hot," Bai Yuyou said. "And the skirt isn't short, so it's fine."
"That works." Ye Shuang also knew Bai Yuyou's skirt wasn't short; it was just her lifting the skirt a moment ago that made him ask out of reflex.
"Little Yezi, remember to tell me if you need anything."
"Mhm."
Before leaving, Ye Shuang reminded Little Yezi one more time, and the little radish just nodded.
With a click, the two went out. Little Yezi silently stared at the door. A few seconds later, she suddenly scooped up Yi Wan, who was rolling around nearby, and headed straight upstairs.
However, she wasn't going to sleep. Instead, she walked right into Ye Shuang's room, sat down in the chair, and turned on the computer.
