Jameel's eyes lit up. "Got it, I know what to do!"

Yu Xuanxuan said, "I choose b."

Ji Youyou said, "I want to choose C."

Fu Xiaoxiao: "A is the best, I choose A."

Su Huaiming: "..." What's going on? Are they having an encrypted call here?!

Looking at the four kids chatting so enthusiastically, Su Huaiming strongly suspected that they had been playing a game and were still in the game.

Although all four kids said they understood, Su Huaiming was still worried and had them practice on the spot.

The four children, carrying trays, walked steadily and found their respective tables without difficulty.

When placing the tray, Fu Xiaoxiao remembered Su Huaiming's words and moved exceptionally slowly. Ji Youyou and the others were also influenced by Fu Xiaoxiao, and they all became like koalas, just like the lightning image in the cartoon.

Su Huaiming: "... There's no need to be this slow."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoxiao promptly placed the tray on the table.

"What should we do next?" Su Huaiming reminded him.

Fu Xiaoxiao said in a childish voice, "Please enjoy your meal."

Ji Youyou suddenly forgot her lines and imitated Fu Xiaoxiao.

Yu Xuanxuan and Jameel had already planned their stylish entrance, and began to launch into a long speech in front of the empty table.

"Hello, uncles and aunties! You're so beautiful! This is freshly made ice cream; it tastes amazing! Please have some more, and you can come again tomorrow!"

Yu Xuanxuan and Jameel came up with this story together. When Fu Xiaoxiao saw that he, a dignified store manager, had actually lost, she immediately rubbed her hands together, wanting to take back the victory. She bent over on the table, holding a pen and writing and drawing, her expression very serious, trying hard to think of what she wanted to say.

Fu Xiaoxiao looked incredibly cute, and Su Huaiming was increasingly enjoying the fun of raising a child. His hands were itching to playfully pat Fu Xiaoxiao's bottom.

Fu Xiaoxiao was clearly busy with important matters and didn't pay attention to Su Huaiming. She just shook her buttocks in protest.

[Haha, my wife is so cute!]

[For a moment, it was hard to tell who the child was.]

[Xiao Xiao has changed a lot. Although she's still a bit mischievous, she's no longer a troublemaker.]

[Su Huaiming really has special parenting skills, he should start a class right away!]

Another hour later, Fu Jingfan brought back all the supplies Su Huaiming needed without a single mistake. His efficiency was astonishing, drawing admiration from everyone.

Su Huaiming was already used to Fu Jingfan's behavior, so he didn't say anything and immediately returned to the kitchen with Ji Mingzhe to speed up the ice cream making process.

With only two hours left before opening, all the work was in its final stages, and everyone was busy and flustered. The kitchen looked like an explosion site, with things scattered everywhere.

Since Sun Siyuan had no work to do, he took the initiative to clean the house. However, the young master was picky about the work, but at least he didn't make things worse.

Amidst everyone's busy work, the finishing touches were finally completed, and all that's left is to wait for the auspicious opening time so customers can come in.

Su Huaiming was still in the kitchen, Ji Mingzhe was in charge of the front desk. He thought for a moment and tentatively looked at Fu Jingfan, "President Fu, could you and Ruicheng please greet the customers at the door?"

Fu Jingfan only treated Su Huaiming specially. He was usually indifferent, but he was very well-mannered. He did not look down on the job because it was beneath his status. He nodded slightly and walked towards the door.

Yu Ruicheng followed and stood on the other side.

Ji Mingzhe, seeing this from behind, was very satisfied. He thought that with these two tall, model-like men standing at the door, passersby would definitely notice them and become interested.

But things turned out quite the opposite of what he expected.

When it was time to open, Fu Jingfan and Yu Ruicheng pushed open the glass door and their eyes met those of the boy standing on the steps.

The boy was holding a flyer and wearing a school uniform; he looked like a high school student.

He paused, staring blankly at Fu Jingfan and Yu Ruicheng standing in the doorway.

Fu Jingfan was incredibly handsome and had a powerful aura, Yu Ruicheng was tall and had a cold expression... They were like two giant Buddhas standing at the entrance, and the originally warm and cozy decor was ruined by them, making it feel eerie and unlike a proper shop.

The boy shrank back in fear; the wide-open doorway appeared to him as the gaping maw of a monster, brimming with danger.

He clutched his schoolbag tightly, swallowed hard, and ran away in terror, as if someone was chasing him.

?????

Ji Mingzhe had just led the child to the door when he saw this scene, and he looked completely bewildered.

"Why did he leave?" Ji Mingzhe asked Yu Ruicheng.

Yu Ruicheng, who was always taciturn, recalled the boy's behavior and shook his head in confusion. "I don't know. He didn't say a word and just ran away."

After circling the shop entrance without finding anything amiss, Ji Mingzhe reassured him, "Perhaps this student suddenly had an emergency and ran off."

Fu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms, put on a serious face, and tried her best to strike a detective pose. "I understand!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him.

Fu Xiaoxiao coughed and said, "He was afraid his Ultraman would be lonely at home, so he went back to keep Ultraman!"

Adult: "..." What the heck?

The children's style was completely different from that of the adults. Yu Xuanxuan and the others excitedly crowded around, looking at Fu Xiaoxiao with great admiration, and praising him for his intelligence one after another, making Fu Xiaoxiao feel like he was on top of the world.

Seeing this, Ji Mingzhe smiled helplessly and didn't take it to heart, continuing to have Fu Jingfan and Yu Ruicheng stand at the door to greet the guests.

The dessert shop was in a really great location, and less than three minutes later, two girls walked over.

They came this way, but after clearly seeing Fu Jingfan and Yu Ruicheng from the roadside, they exchanged a glance, pretended nothing had happened, and awkwardly walked around to the other side.

Ji Mingzhe was stunned when he saw this scene through the glass.

Why is this happening???!!

He stood across the street, observing their dessert shop from afar, scrutinizing every detail, but found nothing amiss.

Having exhausted all other options, Ji Mingzhe had no choice but to seek help from Su Huaiming.

Su Huaiming discovered the problem before he even reached the door.

He pointed at Fu Jingfan and Yu Ruicheng and asked in a low voice, "Were those two there just now?"

Ji Mingzhe nodded blankly, "Yes, is there a problem?"

That's the biggest problem!

With Fu Jingfan and Yu Ruicheng standing aggressively at the door, it was clearly not a legitimate shop; it would be strange if no one came in.

Out of consideration for the two men, Su Huaiming didn't say anything. Instead, he stood at the door with the four children.

Yu Xuanxuan is a social butterfly; he'd even want to chat with a snail crawling past his door, let alone a passerby.

He stood at the doorway like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, waving his arms without saying a word, but his desire to let people in was written all over his face.

The other three children were also very cute. Su Huaiming had an inexplicable charm that made people subconsciously like him. Under this double attack, passersby paused and couldn't help but turn into the dessert shop.

As the store gets busier, it looks lively from the outside, attracting more and more customers, and business gradually improves.

Using Ms. Sun's recipe, the ice cream was incredibly delicious. Plus, with the opening just in time, there were special offers, making it extremely attractive to customers.

The window seats filled up quickly, and there were only a few empty seats left inside. Four children acted as food delivery staff, fluttering around the restaurant like butterflies, carrying trays with happy smiles on their faces, as if they had inexhaustible energy.

It's hard for anyone to resist adorable human babies. Customers were almost melted by their cuteness, their eyes sparkling as they looked at them and couldn't help but tease them a few times.

Yu Xuanxuan had a sweet tongue, which made the girls laugh from time to time, and they even treated him to several bites of ice cream.

Jameel was so tempted by the ice cream that he was practically drooling. He immediately imitated Yu Xuanxuan, chatting enthusiastically with people and earning himself a treat of ice cream.

Ji Youyou was well-behaved and obedient, like a little angel. No one dared to raise their voice when speaking to her, and she immediately became the group's darling.

Su Huaiming saw the scene in the store and a smile appeared on his lips, but he quickly realized something was wrong.

Fu Xiaoxiao is quite arrogant and always wants to be the center of attention, but this time she didn't stand out at all; Yu Xuanxuan and the others stole her thunder!

Su Huaiming searched for Fu Xiaoxiao's figure with his eyes and finally saw the little radish head squatting at the door.

Fu Xiaoxiao's big eyes darted around, peeking and peering, her longing almost overflowing.

Su Huaiming walked over, touched Fu Xiaoxiao's soft hair, and looked around at the scenery outside, but did not find anything unusual.

Su Huaiming asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"

Fu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to look away, tiptoeing to look around, afraid of missing anything.

Su Huaiming asked again, and Fu Xiaoxiao's attention finally turned to him. He pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and kicked the ground with his toes, looking embarrassed.

Fu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but seeing his expression, Su Huaiming immediately understood.

Are you waiting for the little girl you met that day?

Fu Xiaoxiao looked up and muttered softly, "Why isn't my sister here yet?"

Fearing he would be disappointed, Su Huaiming said, "Wait a little longer, they might come soon, or she might have something to do today and come tomorrow."

Fu Xiaoxiao looked up at him, her eyes pleading, and asked, "Will my sister never come?"

"How could that be?" Su Huaiming gently reassured her, "Didn't you give your painting to the young lady? She promised you she would come. Xiao Xiao can pick out her favorite ice cream and eat it with her."

Fu Xiaoxiao's thoughts were immediately diverted, and his eyes regained their light. He happily walked towards the counter and carefully selected his favorite flavor.

After making his selection, Fu Xiaoxiao didn't forget his job and diligently served ice cream to the customers.

They only opened in the afternoon, but to their surprise, all the ice cream was sold out by evening. The last few customers who couldn't get ice cream were given coconut jelly and coconut juice for free by Su Huaiming, who asked them to come back the next day.

Everyone was still sitting in the empty store, a little disoriented.

This was also beyond the director's expectations. The amount of ice cream made was based on the sales figures of other dessert shops. Unexpectedly, their business was booming as soon as they opened, and they sold out the entire day's supply in just one afternoon.

The four children were very proud of what they had accomplished for the first time and were still excited, chattering away.

The adults also felt a surge of energy in their hearts, and they couldn't calm down.

The director had prepared a surprise for them. "After we finish cleaning up the desserts, everyone can enjoy the sunset while having a barbecue on the beach!"

Everyone had been busy all afternoon and had used up a lot of energy. They were all starving. Hearing this, they worked even harder to clean, eager to get something to eat as soon as possible.

The director had come up with the idea on a whim, and preparations would take some time, so he told them to go and have some fun first.

Upon arriving at the beach, everyone was captivated by the sea under the setting sun, their eyes lingering on the beauty, forgetting to breathe.

The four children got together to play a game. Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan jumped into the sea, Yu Ruicheng was also led astray by them. Ji Mingzhe sat on the beach watching the four children, freeing Su Huaiming and Fu Jingfan.

Su Huaiming and Fu Jingfan didn't need to take care of the child, so they stood side by side, admiring the sunset.
