Su Muxi, as one of Suchen's mommies, always interacted with him in a gentle yet playful manner, even though she might not hold that role in the future.
She loved looking into Suchen's eyes, which were full of anticipation, and watching the aggrieved expression he made when he couldn't reach his snacks. Su Muxi would deliberately place the snacks somewhere out of Suchen's reach, such as on a high shelf or the top of a cabinet, and then pretend to be busy with other things while waiting for Suchen to ask.
Suchen was drawn by the colorful snack packaging. He stood on his tiptoes and stretched out his arms, trying to touch those tempting treats, but he always fell just a little bit short. He had to walk over to Su Muxi and say in his childish voice, "Mommy, I want to eat that."Whenever this happened, Su Muxi would turn around with a smug smile on her face, gently stroke Suchen's head, and say, "Alright, but you have to finish your homework first, or help me with some chores."
