Chapter 142 Sisi wants to go out and play
The atmosphere at the dining table was exceptionally pleasant, quiet and peaceful, with only the soft clatter of bowls and chopsticks against plates and the gentle rustling of Sisi chewing.
Sisi ate with great relish, her little mouth stuffed full, her cheeks puffing out as she ate.
Like a little hamster stealing food, it still had a small spoon in its hand, occasionally putting a bite into its mouth, its eyes curving into little crescents.
Lin Caiwei picked up a piece of cod that Chen Hao had fried, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly. The freshness of the fish immediately spread out and became more and more fragrant with each bite.
After finishing the last bite, she couldn't help but praise him again, her tone full of sincerity:
"This cod is so delicious! How did you make it?"
The outer skin was fried until crispy, not hard at all, while the meat inside was tender and soft, with no fishy smell. It was smooth and slippery to chew, leaving a lingering freshness in your mouth after swallowing.
Chen Hao sat opposite her, looking at her satisfied expression, and couldn't help but smile. His tone was very calm, without a hint of boasting:
"There aren't any special techniques involved; you just need to control the heat well when frying them. The heat can't be too high."
It shouldn't be too small either. Fry it until the outside is golden brown and crispy, and the inside is cooked through. It's not as mysterious as you say.
Hearing them talk, Sisi quickly sped up her chewing, puffing out her little mouth and swallowing hard.
After swallowing everything in her mouth, she tilted her head back, blinked her big, round eyes at Lin Caiwei, and spoke in a soft, sweet voice, with a hint of cautious anticipation:
"Mom, after we finish eating, can we go out and play for a little while? Just for a short time, okay?"
When Lin Caiwei heard the words "go out to play," she froze for a moment. The chopsticks in her hand stopped in mid-air and she didn't move for a long time. Her eyes were a little blank and her mind went completely blank.
Going out for fun?
This word was so unfamiliar to her that she had almost forgotten what it felt like to go out and have fun.
She subconsciously asked herself, how long has it been since she took Sisi out to play?
From the time Sisi was born until now, for more than three years, she has almost never taken her daughter to parks, amusement parks, zoos, or other places that children love to go.
It's not that she didn't want to take care of her child, really not. What mother doesn't want to be with her child, let them experience the outside world, and watch them run and laugh in the sunshine?
She wanted to more than anyone else, but she didn't dare; she really didn't have the courage.
She's a celebrity, the kind of celebrity who's likely to be recognized wherever she goes.
Whether you're shopping, eating, or just going for a casual stroll, you might get photographed by passersby or targeted by the media.
It's one thing for her to be photographed; after all these years, she's long been used to the spotlight and cameras, used to being talked about.
But Sisi is different. Sisi is only three years old, still an innocent and ignorant little one.
She didn't want her daughter to be exposed to those cold spotlights at such a young age.
I don't want my daughter to be the subject of media frenzy, and I don't want those messy speculations and discussions to disturb her pure childhood.
So, whenever Sisi wants to go out to play, the nanny takes her.
Moreover, the places they went to were all very secluded and sparsely populated.
I either go to secluded, less-visited parks or to a friend's private courtyard; I never dare to go to crowded, noisy places.
As a mother, she could only stay at home, looking at Sisi's photos and imagining her daughter playing. Her heart ached with bitterness and guilt.
Sisi noticed that her mother remained silent, staring blankly ahead with an odd expression.
She called out softly again, her voice even softer than before, with a hint of grievance:
"Mom? Why aren't you saying anything? Sisi just wants to go out and play for a little while, she'll be back soon, it won't take long."
Lin Caiwei then came to her senses, looked down at her daughter, and saw Sisi's big eyes, which were full of expectation yet also a little aggrieved.
My heart felt like it had been tugged by something, a wave of sourness washed over me, and my eyes even felt a little hot.
She desperately wanted to agree to her daughter's request, but the concerns in her heart weighed on her like a heavy stone, making it hard for her to breathe. She still dared not take the risk.
Chen Hao, sitting beside her, clearly saw Lin Caiwei's hesitation and predicament.
He knew Lin Caiwei's concerns and understood her guilt, so he spoke softly, his voice low and gentle.
I tried my best not to sound too deliberate, afraid of putting pressure on Lin Caiwei:
"Actually, we can wait until it gets dark before going out. We can all wear masks and hats then, and cover ourselves up properly. We shouldn't be easily recognized."
Upon hearing this, Lin Caiwei suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Hao. A glint of light flashed in her eyes, and the weight in her heart seemed to loosen a little, causing her to waver slightly.
Yes, after dark, the light is dim, and with a mask and hat on, it's indeed harder to be recognized.
Moreover, she really didn't want to reject her daughter anymore, and she didn't want to see her daughter disappointed again.
Chen Hao noticed her wavering and quickly pressed his advantage, continuing to gently persuade her with a sincere tone:
"Let's not go anywhere else, just take a walk in the neighborhood, okay?"
At this time, everyone is either eating or resting at home; there aren't many people in the neighborhood to begin with.
Moreover, our community has excellent security. There are security guards at the entrance, so outsiders can't get in, and paparazzi won't sneak in. It's absolutely safe, so you can rest assured.
Lin Caiwei remained silent for a while, her mind in turmoil, torn between guilt and heartache for her daughter, and concerns about the exposure.
But looking into Sisi's expectant eyes, she finally gave in.
She nodded slightly, her voice soft, carrying a hint of relief and a barely perceptible expectation:
"Okay, then let's wait until it gets dark and take a short walk in the neighborhood. We can't go too far or play for too long."
"Great! Great!" Sisi cheered immediately when she heard her mother agree, her voice full of excitement, and she patted the table vigorously with her little hands.
"I can go out and play with Mom and Dad now! I can go out and play with Mom and Dad now!"
The little guy was so excited that he twisted and turned in the chair, his little body swaying back and forth, and he almost knocked the little spoon in his hand to the ground.
Seeing her daughter so happy and excited, Lin Caiwei felt both joy and sorrow.
She knew perfectly well that for other children, taking a walk in the neighborhood with their parents was just an ordinary thing.
It's something so ordinary that it could happen every day, but for Sisi, it was something so rare and precious.
It is so precious that it needs to be anticipated with utmost care and repeatedly discussed before it can be realized.
Looking at the mother and daughter, Chen Hao smiled gently. He reached out and patted Sisi's head, saying softly:
"Okay, okay, don't get too excited, be careful not to fall."
It's not dark yet, let's play in the living room for a while, and then go out when it's completely dark, okay?
