An unwanted presence

"Mama! Dada!"

Chyou hopped and happily rushed to hug her parents. Xiaosi brightened and picked her in his arms and twirled her around.

"Hey, my angel is back."

"I missed Mama Dada!"

Xiaosi gravely nodded. "I missed you too."

Chyou curiously glanced at Caihong first and then at Xiaosi. "Mama Dada look different!"

"..."

Caihong coughed and looked away.

Xiaosi was speechless.

Why are you blushing now? Weren't you so bold last night?

Xiaosi smiled as he kissed his daughter's cheek. "How are we different?"

Chyou pursed her lips. "I don't know."

He chuckled. "Well, Mama was being a little naughty."

Caihong glared at him.

How could you?

Chyou thoughtfully stared at her. "Mama always says to be a good girl. But Mama is now naughty herself," her lips puckered in complaint.

Xiaosi nodded and accusingly looked at her. "Yes, how can Mama be so naughty and go back on her teachings?"
