Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 304 - 295: Did You Have Fun?

The sky was dotted with stars, each like a brilliant diamond scattered across the deep blue sky.

Huang Tao drove his parents directly back to their hometown.

He stayed over and had dinner there.

After a short nap, amidst the reluctant and admonishing gazes of his parents, he got into the car.

And returned home.

Huang Tao opened the door, helped Xuanxuan change into her slippers, and said, "Xuanxuan, Daddy will take you to bathe. After your bath, it’s time for bed, okay?"

"Okay~"

Xuanxuan, holding the string of the Peppa Pig balloon, nodded obediently.

He smiled and casually put aside what he was holding on the dining table, softly saying, "You can play for a while first. I’ll call you once the bath is ready."

Xuanxuan’s eyes curved into a smile: "Okay~"

"Good girl!"

He chuckled and walked into the bathroom.

Filled Xuanxuan’s special plastic bathtub with hot water.

Checked the water temperature with his elbow.

Everything was perfect!

He called out towards the door, "Xuanxuan, time for your bath."

"Coming~"

Xuanxuan, after hearing the call, reluctantly placed her new favorite Peppa Pig balloon on the sofa.

"Whoosh!"

The balloon immediately flew up to the ceiling, making the little one tilt her head back and gape in wonder.

Wow~

How magical~

After a brief moment of surprise.

She remembered her dad’s call and hurriedly ran to the bathroom on her little legs.

"Daddy, Daddy~"

With a twinkle in her eyes, she animatedly described to Huang Tao, "I put the Peppa Pig balloon on the sofa and it whooshed up to the ceiling."

"Is that so?"

Huang Tao replied with a smile, helping her take off her clothes.

Xuanxuan blinked her beautiful eyes and curiously asked, "Daddy, no matter how I throw a balloon up, it doesn’t fly to the sky but this helium balloon can float up by itself, why?"

Oh my!

The little one is starting to ponder questions.

Not bad, not bad!

"Well!"

As he carried her into the tub, he thoughtfully explained, "Ordinary balloons are filled with air, which is as heavy as the air around us, so they can’t rise into the sky."

"This helium balloon, however, is filled with helium, a gas lighter than air, allowing it to rise."

Listening to her father’s explanation, Xuanxuan felt it was quite profound~

She could barely understand it!

She blinked her big eyes in half-understanding. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Indeed.

For her age, it’s normal not to fully grasp it.

"You’ll understand more as you grow up,"

Huang Tao gently ruffled her hair, then indicated, "Now lean your head back into this groove of the bathtub, close your eyes, Daddy’s going to wash your hair now."

"Okay~"

Lying in the bathtub soaking in hot water, Xuanxuan obediently followed instructions.

Huang Tao squeezed some children’s shampoo into his palm, rubbed it until it foamed, and then applied it to Xuanxuan’s hair.

He gently washed her hair.

Used a dry towel to gently rub and wrap her hair.

Then he took a bath puff, squeezed some body wash on it, and started scrubbing her clean.

He washed her thoroughly from head to toe, then wrapped her in a fresh bath towel.

Dried her thoroughly.

Put on a clean set of pajamas and long johns.

With a Peppa Pig pattern that she loves the most!

"Come, let Daddy dry your hair."

Huang Tao smiled and plugged in the hairdryer, gently helping her dry her hair.

Xuanxuan, feeling the warm breeze, squinted her eyes, looking very contented.

Even more adorable!

Huang Tao looked at his precious daughter’s face in the mirror, her dimples deepening.

The more he looked, the more adorable she became.

He couldn’t resist wanting to hug and kiss her at once...

Perhaps the hairdryer was a bit strong, causing a few strands of mischievous hair to tickle Xuanxuan’s face, making her itch.

She puffed her cheeks playfully and blew the strands away, watching them flutter.

Huang Tao watched her playful antics in the mirror, smiling dotingly, helping to tuck the stray hairs back.

Now.

Xuanxuan’s view was a lot clearer, and her little face wasn’t itchy anymore!

"All done, let’s get you to bed."

Once her hair was dry, he put down the dryer and picked Xuanxuan up.

To the bedroom.

He laid her on the bed, turned on the bedside lamp, placed the plush Peppa Pig by her side, and pulled up the blanket for cover.

The soft light of the lamp cast a glow on her rosy cheeks, making them look like juicy apples.

Irresistibly tempting to take a bite.

He couldn’t help but lean down and kiss her cheek softly, asking, "Xuanxuan did you have fun today?"

"Yes..."

Clutching her plush Peppa Pig in the warm bed, dimples appeared on Xuanxuan’s face as she nodded, "It was so much fun!"

Today, Daddy took her out of town for a day; first, they admired the snowy scenery, then built snowmen and had a snowball fight.

In the afternoon, he took her to the amusement park, where they played many fun games and rides.

In the evening, they dined at Grandpa and Grandma’s place.

Xuanxuan really had a wonderful time!

Huang Tao gently brushed her bangs aside with a smile, asking, "Well, do you want to go out and play again?"

"Yes~"

Xuanxuan nodded eagerly, her voice filled with certainty.

Huang Tao smiled indulgently, kissing her smooth forehead, "Then sleep well for now. Next time, during the holidays, I’ll take you out with Grandpa and Grandma, okay?"

"Okay~"

Xuanxuan nodding like a chick pecking at grain.

He fondly stroked her soft hair, his voice tender, "Then sleep tight! You have school tomorrow!"

"Okay~"

Xuanxuan obediently nodded and closed her eyes.

Huang Tao leaned back on the pillow, lying on his side, quietly watching her angelic face.

His little darling, never tiring of watching her!

After a few seconds, Xuanxuan slyly opened one eye, and her gaze met Huang Tao’s at once.

No need to panic!

Daddy adored her.

Knowing this well, with a twinkle, she smiled, "Daddy, you haven’t told me a bedtime story yet!"

Huang Tao chuckled softly.

He initially thought his precious daughter must be exhausted after playing all day and planned to skip the bedtime story for tonight.

But he didn’t expect the little one to still have it on her mind!

"You little one..."

Huang Tao affectionately tapped her little nose, turned around, reached for a picture book on the bedside table, and smiled, "Then I’ll tell you the story of ’Little Grey Rabbit Finds Friends’."

Xuanxuan nodded eagerly: "Okay~"

Huang Tao flipped through the picture book and began to read gently, "In the meadow lived a group of little white rabbits, playing together all day, joyfully and noisily. Among them was a little grey rabbit, and whenever others played, he stood far off watching..."

The story was quite long, and slowly, slowly, by the time Huang Tao reached the part about the little grey rabbit leaving the bear’s house and meeting the fox, Xuanxuan could no longer hold back her drowsiness.

She couldn’t resist sleep, closing her eyes.

Drifted into slumber.

And fell into a dreamland.

"Looks like she’s really worn out,"

Huang Tao closed the picture book, watching her peacefully for a while, noting the sweet smile on her lips.

He believed Xuanxuan would have sweet dreams tonight.

He smiled gently, tucking her in snugly.

He reached out to turn off the lamp and prepare for sleep when suddenly, a cold system alert sounded in his mind.
