His words were full of gentleness and consideration, which warmed Mai Sakurajima's heart.

Upon hearing Kitahara Makoto's words, Xiaoyue immediately turned around and excitedly shouted:

"Good morning, Brother Yuanzhen! Come and play with Xiaoyue!"

Chapter 424 Mai: Isn't this cheesy early in the morning?

She waved her toy in her little hands, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Kitahara Shin smiled and nodded, then walked to Xiaoyue's side, squatted down, and looked her in the eye.

He gently patted Xiaoyue's head and said:

Good morning, Xiaoyue. Your brother is here to play with you.

Xiaoyue jumped up happily, took Kitahara Makoto's hand, and made him sit on the sofa.

She eagerly took out her toys and showed them to Kitahara Makoto. "597"

Kitahara listened patiently to Xiaoyue's introduction, nodding in approval from time to time.

Mai Sakurajima watched this scene with a heart full of happiness and contentment.

Seeing Kitahara Makoto's care and patience for Xiaoyue, she couldn't help but feel moved.

She knew that Kitahara was a gentle, considerate, and loving person, which was one of the reasons why she loved him so deeply.

The three sat around the sofa, playing with toys and chatting. Mai Sakurajima occasionally joined their conversation, adding a touch of warmth and sweetness to the atmosphere.

Sunlight streamed through the curtains and shone on them, as if draping them in a golden halo.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and Kitahara Makoto savored this rare tranquility and happiness.

He knew this was one of his most precious moments, and he would cherish this memory forever.

After playing with Xiaoyue for a while, Kitahara Makoto felt a little thirsty, so he got up and went to the bathroom.

He gently patted Xiaoyue's head and said tenderly:

"Xiaoyue, go wash your face, I'll come back and have breakfast with you in a bit."

Xiaoyue nodded obediently and continued to play with the toys in her hands.

Kitahara Makoto went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and a stream of cool water washed over his face, instantly dispelling his drowsiness.

He looked up at himself in the mirror, smiled slightly, and then picked up the toothbrush next to him to start brushing his teeth.

As the toothbrush flew up and down in his mouth, a refreshing minty flavor filled the air, making him feel invigorated.

After washing up, Kitahara Makoto returned to the living room and saw Sakurajima Mai sitting on the sofa watching Xiaoyue play with her toys.

He walked to her side and asked softly:

"Mai, have you and Yue had breakfast yet?"

Mai Sakurajima looked up and answered with a smile:

"Not yet, I was busy playing with Xiaoyue."

Kitahara Makoto glanced at the wall clock and realized it was already past eight, so he suggested:

"Let's go have breakfast, then come back and play..."

Mai Sakurajima nodded in agreement. She turned to Xiaoyue and said:

"Xiaoyue, shall we go have breakfast and then come back to play?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue jumped up happily, clapping her hands and saying:

"Okay, Kitahara-nii-san!"

Mai Sakurajima stood up, preparing to change her clothes. She walked to the wardrobe and picked out a floral dress.

This dress has a fresh color and an elegant style, making it perfect for today's weather.

After changing into a dress, she went to the mirror and tidied her hair and makeup. Looking at the graceful Sakurajima Mai, Kitahara Makoto couldn't help but admire her:

"Baby, you are so beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima blushed and playfully scolded:

"Ugh, this is so cheesy for the morning. 2.9"

She turned around, picked up Xiaoyue, and said gently:

"Xiaoyue, let's go!"

Xiaoyue excitedly hugged Sakurajima Mai's neck, her face beaming with a happy smile.

Kitahara Makoto smiled slightly, picked up his car keys, and then walked out of the villa first.

Mai Sakurajima followed closely behind, carrying Xiaoyue in her arms, and the family of three walked out of their home happily.

Chapter 425 Breakfast Time at the Seaside

Sunlight streamed into the villa's entrance, illuminating the entire courtyard.

Kitahara Shin opened the car door and let Sakurajima Mai and Xiaoyue get in first. He sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and slowly drove out of the villa's courtyard.

Throughout the journey, Kitahara Makoto focused on driving, while Sakurajima Mai sat in the passenger seat holding Xiaoyue.

She spoke softly to Xiaoyue, trying to cheer her up from time to time.

Xiaoyue was amused by Mai Sakurajima and giggled, her face beaming with an innocent smile.

The car was driving on the coastal highway, and the sea breeze gently blew against the windows, carrying a slightly salty and damp smell.

Kitahara Makoto opened the car window, letting the sea breeze flow into the car. He felt the coolness and comfort brought by the sea breeze, and his mood became particularly pleasant.

24. Kitahara Makoto drove his car slowly along the winding coastal highway. Sunlight streamed through the car windows, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow inside.

Mai Sakurajima sat in the passenger seat, smiling as she watched the scenery rushing past the window.

She would occasionally turn her head and chat with Kitahara Makoto for a few words; their conversation was relaxed and pleasant.

Xiaoyue sat in the back seat of the car seat, holding a toy bear in her hand, her eyes curiously looking at the world around her.

She would sometimes fiddle with the toys in her hands, and sometimes look up at Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai, her face beaming with an innocent smile.

Kitahara Makoto was driving the car, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, but he would occasionally check on Xiaoyue through the rearview mirror.

He noticed that Xiaoyue was having a lot of fun, so he continued driving with peace of mind.

Suddenly, Kitahara Makoto remembered the breakfast incident and turned to Sakurajima Mai, saying:

What should we get for breakfast?

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima thought for a moment, and then suggested:

"How about we go to that dim sum restaurant we ate at last time? Their dim sum is delicious."

Kitahara Makoto shook his head and said with a smile:

"No, it's too hot. Eating hot food might make me feel uncomfortable."

He thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said:

"I've got it! How about we go to Fu Ting for sweet soup and pastries? The environment there is comfortable, and the food is delicious."

Mai Sakurajima found Kitahara Makoto's suggestion very reasonable and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, let's hear what our little one has to say."

She turned her head and asked Xiaoyue gently:

"Xiaoyue, are you happy to go to Futing for sweet soup and pastries?"

Upon hearing Mai's question, Xiaoyue immediately looked up, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and nodded vigorously:

"Okay, okay, I want to go to Fu Ting to eat something delicious!"

Her voice, filled with childlike innocence, was delightful to hear.

Seeing this, Mai Sakurajima smiled and said to Makoto Kitahara:

"Look, our little cutie agrees with our decision."

Kitahara Shinya laughed and said:

"Then it's settled. We'll have breakfast at Futing 597."

The car continued driving on the highway, and Kitahara Makoto increased his speed.

He chatted with Mai Sakurajima while driving.

They talked about their upcoming weekend plans, imagining the wonderful scene of the family having a picnic and flying kites in the countryside.

Mai Sakurajima's cheerful laughter filled the carriage with a warm and happy atmosphere.

Soon after, they arrived at Futing.

After parking the car, Kitahara Makoto got out first to open the door for Sakurajima Mai and Xiaoyue.

They walked into Fu Ting together and found a seat by the window.

The waiter came over and handed over the menu, which Kitahara Makoto took and then passed to Sakurajima Mai.

Chapter 426 Xiaoyue: I Want to Be a Food Streamer??

Mai Sakurajima flipped through the menu and ordered several sweet soups and pastries that Xiaoyue liked.

Kitahara Shinya ordered a simple breakfast, and then they waited together for the food to arrive.

While waiting, Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai continued chatting.

They talked about recent news and interesting stories, sharing their insights and feelings.

Xiaoyue listened to their conversation from the side, occasionally chiming in with a few words. The entire restaurant was filled with a warm and happy atmosphere.

Soon after, breakfast was served. The three of them began to enjoy the delicious breakfast.

The aroma of breakfast filled the air as soon as it was served, making one's mouth water.

Kitahara Makoto first served Xiaoyue a bowl of brightly colored fruit syrup, with the fruit cut into appropriate sizes and displaying a variety of colors.

Xiaoyue's eyes were immediately drawn to it, and she exclaimed excitedly:

Wow, this looks delicious!

She eagerly took the bowl, carefully scooped up a piece of fruit with a spoon, and put it in her mouth.

She closed her eyes, savoring the sweet taste, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.

"It's so sweet! Mom, you should try some!"

Mai Sakurajima smiled and shook her head; she chose a delicate little pastry.

She gently placed the pastries on her plate, cut them into small pieces with a knife and fork, and then savored them gracefully.

She looked at Xiaoyue and said softly:

"Xiaoyue has a good eye for taste; this dessert is indeed delicious."

Kitahara Masanori ordered a traditional congee with preserved egg and lean pork. He scooped up a spoonful of congee, gently blew away the steam, and then slowly put it into his mouth.

He savored the warmth of the congee and the savory aroma of the preserved egg and lean meat, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Mmm, this porridge is cooked just right, it tastes absolutely fantastic."

Hearing Kitahara Makoto's evaluation, Sakurajima Mai also curiously took a bite:

"Indeed, this porridge has a rich flavor and a delicate texture."

During the meal, Xiaoyue frequently burst into cheerful laughter. She pointed to a particular fruit in the fruit syrup and said:

"Sister Mai, doesn't this fruit look like a smiley face?"

Mai Sakurajima responded with a smile:

"Yes, it really does look like it! Xiaoyue has such a rich imagination."

Kitahara Shinya joined in, and he said with a smile:

"Xiaoyue not only has a rich imagination, but also a unique taste. It seems that Xiaoyue will be a gourmet in the future!"

Xiaoyue became even more smug after hearing this, and she proudly said:

"I want to become the world's biggest eater!"
