Chapter 89: Xi Hua's family
As they were talking, there was Han shouting form outside the door, "Nee-san, mom is calling you downstairs."
Xi Hua replied, "Tell her I'm coming Han." Then she turned and they both went down together. In the living room, Mo Kio and Huo Zenghai were sitting. Mrs. Xi came to them as Hua came down the stairs and said, "Hua, your friends are here. They are really nice boys."
Xi Hua smiled. Her mother continued, "I would have sent them directly to your room, but I was afraid your room was too small for so many friends. So would you like to take them to the parlor?"
Xi Hua: "Come on mom. My room is big enough. And they don't mind. Do you, guys?"
They three of them shook their heads and assured Mrs. Xi that they would be very comfortable in Hua's room. As they stood up, Mo Kio approached Mrs. Xi and handed her the basket of fruits he was holding.
Mrs. Xi let out another smile, "Thank you dear. Now why don't you go along and I'll send Maria with something to eat."
As they began to climb up the stairs, Xi Hua turned. "Oh mom. One more of my friends will come. He should be here anytime. Send him up directly."
Mrs. Xi nodded. The four of them then went up to Hua's room. As they sat on the bed and began talking, a thundering up the stairs sounded. Xi Hua slapped her forehead, "Oh for the love of God. This Han!!!"
And she opened the door angrily but stopped holding the doorknob. Seeing her response, the other three also rushed to the door. Their jaws almost dropped to the floor at the scene in front of them.
Si Xia was bending on one knee and was patting Xi Han's head. Han was holding something in his hand. Si Xia bent down properly and lifted Han up in his arms. While carrying him, he turned around and saw four of his friends looking at him like they had seen a ghost. He chuckled and walked towards them, Han still in his arms.
Si Xia: "What's wrong? You were expecting me, right?"
Xi Hua: "Of course. But when did you and Han become best friends."
Si Xia: "Oh just now, he was playing with action figures and I talked with him a little while before coming up. Han caught me just as I came up the stairs. He wanted to give me this."
The four looked at Han, who seemed to be very overwhelmed with the sudden attention. He slowly opened his hand. A little model of bumblebee was sitting on his hand.
Si Xia smiled at Han, took the model, and said, "Thanks Han. Now go, play."
Little Han jumped down from his arms and ran downstairs. The five went inside the room.
Once in the room, Xi Hua said, "I don't think Han has ever let anyone lift him up for three years."
Si Xia: "Really?"
Mo Kio: "I did not know you were so good with kids."
Si Xia: "Well of course. I had to take care of the little children at the orphanage. There were many kids smaller than me."
