Chapter 13 The Taste of Happiness

  "Xiaoxue, are you going to your room?" Lin Zixuan asked Xiaoxue, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV.

  "Lin, if I'm not mistaken, this is the fourth time you've asked me to go to the room after dinner! Haven't you heard of a saying? Three strikes and you're out! You've gone beyond three and now it's four!" Xiaoxue clutched her pillow tightly, making a squeezing motion.

  "Xiaoxue, it's late, you should go back to your room."

  "No!"

  "By the way, I made a school uniform in your size today. Go to the room and try it on to see if it fits. You can't refuse this reason, right?" Lin Zixuan let out a sigh of relief, finally having a legitimate excuse.

  "School uniform? Oh! My new clothes!" Xiaoxue immediately jumped up from the sofa and ran upstairs excitedly. In fact, Lin Zixuan had already ordered school uniforms for Lingwei and Xiaoxue from a specialty store as soon as he returned, but due to time constraints, Xiaoxue and Lingwei could only wear their own clothes on the first day of school. Xiaoxue had been envying the girls in school uniforms she saw at school. The uniform of Easton Academy consisted of a pure white shirt with a navy blue jacket decorated with a gold trim, exquisite handmade cutting, and every button was embedded with a miniature gold school emblem. The girls' uniforms were short and fitted, while their skirts were even more lovely, pink and black plaid princess dresses. Wearing such a uniform made the girls look slender and cute. Xiaoxue opened the door with full expectation, and a minute later, Lin Zixuan heard Xiaoxue's excited shout "Wow! Wow!" The entire room was filled with a layer of colorful lollipops, leaving only a small path in the middle. Xiaoxue walked slowly along the path to the bed, which was also covered with a layer of pink Hello Kitty-shaped lollipops. Her school uniform was quietly placed on top of a floral gift box on her pillow. Xiaoxue didn't know whether she was happy or touched, and her eyes seemed to be welling up with tears.

  "Xiaoxue?" Lin Zixuan panted slightly, as if he had run up.

  "Xiao Xue, are you okay?" Lin Zixuan walked to Xiao Xue's back, stroking her head and asking. Seeing that Xiao Xue didn't respond, Lin Zixuan turned Xiao Xue's shoulder over and saw her red eyes, asking in surprise, "Xiao Xue, what's wrong with you? Tell brother!"

  "Thank you!" After a long time, Xiaoxue finally lifted her head and smiled at Lin Zixuan with tears streaming down her face.

  Lin Zixuan saw this and gently wiped away Xiaoxue's tears with his fingertips, his face filled with heartache.

  "Why are you crying?"

  "Waaahhh~ I'm so happy!" Xiaoxue exclaimed, throwing herself into Lin Zixuan's arms and bursting into loud sobs. Lin Zixuan held the crying Xiaoxue in his arms, softly comforting her as her cries gradually grew weaker. Lin Zixuan looked down to see that this little girl had actually fallen asleep. He gently picked up Xiaoxue and put her on the bed, covering her with a quilt, then turned around and slowly walked towards the door.

  "Thank you, brother!" Xiaoxue said vaguely.

  Lin Zixuan smiled and turned his head, looking at Xiaoxue. "Thank you, Xiaoxue." These words didn't come out of his mouth. That night, Xiaoxue had a dream, dreaming of Dean Dad. The dean asked, "Xiaoxue, are you happy now?"

  Xiao Xue: "Happiness."

  "What does that happy taste feel like?"

  Xiao Xue: "The taste of happiness is sweet, like a lollipop!"

  Digression

  Xiao Yao also thinks that the taste of happiness is sweet.
