evil & completely in love | book 2

26 | back home, finally!

yeri took a bite of her peach, as she looked over to sweetie. she was waiting for louis to put on his shoes and go outside with her, to play with her. yeri raised her eyebrow, wondering where sicheng had gone. after they finished breakfast, he disappeard, without telling yeri where he was going.

yeri let out a sigh. she got up from the chair, as she decided to go outside. she needed to watch over louis and sweetie, to make sure that they were playing safely. as she opened the back door, she noticed the tall man, that was drawing something. she widened his eyes, widening who this man could be.

yeri got out of the house, as she continued to look at the man. suddently, as the man looked up from the paper, yeri let out a laugh. it was none other than sicheng, who's hair was messed up, his glasses were almost falling on the ground, and he seemed to be really focused on what he was doing.

" i never thought that drawing was one of your passions. " yeri said, as she walked over to him. " what are you drawing, and why are you drawing in the middle of the backyard ? " she asked, as sicheng turned the paper around. it was an attempt to draw their house, for sure. " thank god you did not try out for art school. "

" it is not really the best drawing, but it really captures what our house should look like after the renovations take place. " sicheng explained to yeri, as he took out a pen from his pocket. " you see, i thought of adding more trees around the property itself, and i also thought of building a playing area for louis and sweetie. " he showed yeri what he drew, as yeri tried to figure out what he was trying to do.

" how many renovation shows did you watch and why do you think you can draw ? " yeri asked, as she started to laugh. sicheng put down his paper, as yeri finally nodded. " i must admit, these are very good ideas that you have. the next thing i would like to hear is if you are going to be the one that builds everything. " she put her hand on his shoulder, as a wide smile appeard on sicheng's face. " oh, god. i never thought i could call you sicheng the builder. "

sicheng continued to smile. he took yeri over to where the play area was supposed to be built, as he started explaining her how he was going to build it. as it was not something yeri was interested in, she kept nodding. suddently, sicheng grabbed her arms, looking at her straight in the eyes. " also, i have to tell you something very important. i lost my glasses. "

" you what ?! " yeri yelled back to sicheng, as it was her turn to grab his arms. " sicheng, i get that you are old and possibly showing signs of dementia, but you can not just lose your glasses ?! " she glared towards sicheng, as he was taken aback by what she said. " i said what i said. losing your glasses means you forgot where you put them, and forgetting things means.. "

" i do have to remind you that you are the older one in this relationship ! " sicheng yelled to yeri, as louis and sweetie ran towards them. they both looked towards louis, who smiled. he showed them the ladybug that he found while playing, as sicheng and yeri smiled. " oh, that is a very nice ladybug. "

" what should i do with her ? i rescued her, but she can not stay in my hands forever. i wanted to name her sweetie, because sweetie found her. " he explained to the two, as yeri nodded. " i should let her be free. when we found her, she was stuck ! " he let out a small sigh, as he walked over to the flowers. he carefully placed the ladybug on one of the flowers, running back to sicheng and yeri.

" that was very nice of you to do. " yeri smiled, as she pulled louis into a hug. " louis, what would you like to eat for lunch ? this time, aunt yeri will try to cook for us three. sweetie will receive her usual food, and i would like for you to give her the food, as you always wanted to. " she told louis, who started jumping around. " are you excited ? "

" very ! " louis said, as he continued smiling. he looked over to sicheng, who was back to drawing on his paper. louis was confused by what sicheng was doing, but he was also curious. " aunt yeri, what is uncle sicheng doing, and why is he drawing ? i never saw him drawing before. " he let out a small laugh, as sicheng looked up from his paper.
