Seeing Doma Umaru's disbelieving look, Doma Naosumi became even more curious.
He asked strangely, "Don't you know yet? Brother Liu Ming has reopened the restaurant."
"Now, his Chinese Restaurant has become the signature of the shopping street, and countless people come every day, drawn by its reputation."
As if recalling the delicious food he had eaten there, he couldn't help but drool.
Xiao Mai shook her head, still not quite believing it. After all, she had suffered greatly from Liu Ming's cooking, which was far from delicious.
"Teacher Doma isn't lying, A Ming's cooking is really delicious," Xiao Anzu chimed in, helping him out.
Xiao Mei and Xiao Dong on the side also nodded their little heads in agreement.
They had all gone to Liu Ming's place to play, and just like Doma Naosumi, they had enjoyed a wonderful day.
"Uncle is the best!" Xiao Hina also agreed.
"Uncle?" Xiao Mai was more concerned about Xiao Hina's identity than Liu Ming's cooking skills.
"Hehe, Xiao Hina is Big Brother Liu Ming's relative, you know. She's living at Big Brother Liu Ming's house now, and there are three sisters, all adorable little girls!"
Doma Naosumi, afraid Xiao Mai wouldn't believe him, exaggeratedly praised Sora and the others.
"What? There's such a thing?" This time, Xiao Mai was truly surprised. She had only been away from home for half a year; how had so much changed?
Seeing the conversation among them getting stranger and stranger, Liu Ming decided not to hide any longer and walked directly to the doorway.
Hearing the sound, the people in the room immediately looked over.
"Big Brother Liu Ming!" Doma Naosumi stared at Liu Ming in the doorway, dumbfounded.
It was truly a case of 'speak of the devil'; they had just been talking about Liu Ming, and he suddenly appeared before them.
"Big Brother Xiao Ming!" Xiao Mai was the most shocked. She had never expected to run into Liu Ming here.
Especially after she had just said so many embarrassing things.
She wondered if Liu Ming had heard any of their previous conversation. Just imagining the scenario made a blush spread across Xiao Mai's face.
"A Ming!" Xiao Anzu wasn't as preoccupied as the other two. When she saw that it was Liu Ming, she excitedly jumped up and ran straight over to him.
"It's the handsome Big Brother!" Xiao Mei and Xiao Dong were equally happy, as they both had a great fondness for Liu Ming.
"Uncle, it really is Uncle!" Xiao Hina was even more ecstatic; she hadn't seen Liu Ming in a week.
Her heart was incredibly excited at that moment, and happy tears streamed down her face as she stumbled over to him.
To prevent Xiao Hina from falling, Liu Ming quickly walked up to her.
As for Xiao Anzu, she had already climbed onto him, in her usual spot.
Liu Ming picked up Xiao Hina and gently asked, "Does Xiao Hina miss Uncle?"
"Mm, Xiao Hina misses Uncle every day!" Xiao Hina nodded her little head seriously, her hands clutching Liu Ming's clothes tightly, as if afraid he would disappear again.
"Really? Uncle is very happy!" Liu Ming's heart warmed, and he rubbed his face against Xiao Hina's, making her giggle with laughter.
"What about me, what about me, A Ming? I missed you too!" Xiao Anzu immediately protested, grabbing Liu Ming's hair and shaking it.
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Anzu is also very good." Compared to Xiao Hina, Liu Ming was much more perfunctory with Xiao Anzu.
"Hehe~" Xiao Anzu didn't care about any of that. After hearing Liu Ming's praise, she happily wrapped her arms around his head.
Just like that, with one child in his arms and another on his head, Liu Ming slowly walked in front of Xiao Mai.
"Long time no see, Xiao Mai." Liu Ming looked at the adorable young girl in front of him, secretly clicking his tongue.
It really was true that girls change a lot as they grow up; in just a few months, such a big change had occurred.
"Big Brother Xiao Ming!" Xiao Mai's attitude had done a complete 180-degree turn.
Just moments ago, she had been like a queen, lecturing Doma Naosumi, but now she had transformed into a gentle and cute girl next door.
"Is this really his biological sister?" Doma Naosumi thought bitterly to himself.
Seeing the group chatting and laughing in front of him, completely ignoring him.
Doma Naosumi had to speak up to make his presence known, "Big Brother Liu Ming, what about me? And me?"
Liu Ming rolled his eyes at him, but since it was still class time, he didn't want to steal too much thunder.
He held Xiao Hina and walked towards the corner of the classroom.
Xiao Mei and Xiao Dong, the two little girls, followed directly.
Seeing himself ignored again, Doma Naosumi felt an urge to cry.
"Teacher Doma, just accept your fate. It's not your fault you're not as handsome as that Big Brother."
The little boy who had been playing with Doma Naosumi just now patted Doma Naosumi's thigh comfortingly.
Hearing this, Doma Naosumi became even more dejected.
Compared to Naosumi, Liu Ming's side was much more cheerful.
Since seeing Liu Ming, the smile on Xiao Hina's face hadn't stopped.
A big smile was constantly on her adorable little face, and her eyes were squinted into crescent moons.
Xiao Anzu was the same; children's minds are simple after all, and when they meet someone they like, happy emotions naturally surface.
Liu Ming couldn't tell if it was his imagination, but he kept feeling a pink background shimmering behind Xiao Mai.
However, whenever he looked at Xiao Mai, she would turn her head away, avoiding his gaze.
Liu Ming blinked, thinking to himself, "Is this child being tsundere? She used to be so clingy to him."
Upon reaching the edge of the classroom, Liu Ming didn't care whether the floor was clean or not and simply sat down.
Xiao Hina and the four little girls happily gathered around him.
He looked at Xiao Hina gently and softly asked, "Are you happy attending class here, Xiao Hina?"
"Happy!" Xiao Hina nodded happily.
"Although Teacher Doma is a bit unreliable, he's a good teacher and cares a lot about us," Xiao Dong said seriously.
"That's good," Liu Ming said, gently stroking Xiao Hina's soft hair. "It seems you've become very good friends."
"Mm, Xiao Hina is our good friend!" Xiao Mei said happily.
"Uncle, I learned to dance! I'll dance for you now!" Xiao Hina excitedly stood up, took a few steps back, and prepared to show off in front of Liu Ming.
Xiao Anzu and the other two followed suit.
Finally, the four little cuties began to dance the Panda Gymnastics in the classroom.
Clumsy movements, a fun rhythm. Sometimes still, sometimes running, it was truly a very interesting dance, and Liu Ming's head swayed with the rhythm.
Especially Xiao Dong, the top student, who had changed into a panda costume at some point. Coupled with this panda dance, it completely stunned Liu Ming.
Such interesting clothes, he thought he should probably prepare a few sets for Xiao Hina too.
A few minutes later, Xiao Hina and the others finished the Panda Gymnastics and happily ran in front of Liu Ming.
Looking at the four cute children looking up at him, Liu Ming extended both hands and gave two big thumbs up.
"You guys are truly amazing!"
"Hehe~" Xiao Hina and the others immediately laughed happily.
