Chapter 249 Sister Que'er, I Like You

A new day is always a day full of energy.

After taking a nap, Chiu Chiu woke up as a lively baby again.

She ate heartily, but Su Yunyi finally stopped her hand as she reached for the third bun, saying, "You can't eat anymore."

Su Jinze took the porridge from in front of her and tapped the table to attract Qiuqiu's attention. "Since Mom and Dad aren't here, Qiuqiu can't be the king."

Chiu Chiu crossed her arms, looking unhappy: "Chiu Chiu, Your Majesty!"

Su Xiucheng chuckled to himself: "You little rascal~"

Su Jingwen slapped him on the back of the head: "Eat if you can, or go back to your room and do your homework!"

The rules of the Marquis's mansion are different from those of other families. Other mansions have many people, with a large number of masters, young masters, and young ladies, who eat separately in their own courtyards and only gather together for family banquets. But the Marquis's mansion is different. Apart from the old Marquis who gets up early and eats alone in his room, everyone else gathers together whenever they have time.

Adults sit at one table, and children sit at another.

Unable to eat at this table, Chiu Chiu tiptoed off the stool and ran to another table.

She wasn't very familiar with her second aunt who had just returned; her main target was her kind-hearted third uncle and aunt.

"Auntie, I'm hungry!"

[Chirp chirp, I'm hungry! Food, feed me!]

Liu Yueyao and Qiuqiu looked at each other, and seeing that pitiful chubby face almost melted her heart. But what could she do? Her mother wouldn't let her eat!

She quickly looked away, not daring to look at Qiuqiu. "You should go. Your mother won't let me feed you."

Chuchu tilted her head, utterly shocked: "Huh?"

Liu Yueyao tapped Qiuqiu's forehead: "Don't say anything. Your mother specifically told us not to give you too much to eat this morning. Qiuqiu, don't make things difficult for your third aunt, okay? I really can't hold back for too long, sob sob!"

Su Wenqi was quite practical; he simply grabbed Qiuqiu's shoulder and pushed her in one direction: "Let's go back."

Chirp: "..."

She turned her head and looked at them pitifully: "If you won't give it to me, chirp, chirp?"

My mother really knows me too well; how did she arrange all this? But where are my mother and father?

Su Jinze didn't want to see the little glutton continue to embarrass herself, so he quickly went over and pulled Qiuqiu away, saying, "Daddy smashed Uncle Lu's vase. Mommy is taking Daddy to apologize and also to discuss with Aunt Lu how to deal with them. Let's go quickly, or we'll deal with you when we get back."

Chirp: "!!!"

It can't be that violent!

Run quickly!

I'm not eating anymore!

"etc."

A soft female voice came from behind, and Qiuqiu turned around, looking bewildered: "Ersen?"

He Beier: "..." Why does she have such a heavy accent?!

The woman picked up the pastry in front of her and handed it to him, "Want some?"

Chiu Chiu swallowed hard, unsure whether she should take it or not.

The second aunt in front of her had a gentle and kind appearance, like a beauty who had stepped out of a misty, rainy landscape in Jiangnan. But Qiuqiu knew that this second aunt was definitely not as gentle as she appeared; on the contrary, a kind of tenacious and indomitable spirit flowed through her bones.

When she returned, Qiuqiu didn't see her, only knowing that the mistress of the second wife had returned. Qiuqiu had only brushed past her a few times. The young lady from the second wife's side, however, had played with her a few times; she was a young lady like her second aunt.

Now she's the only one in the whole family who feeds herself!

So she announced—her second aunt is the best friend in the world today!

Chiu Chiu let go of her older brother's hand and ran back, calling out, "Er Sen Sen~"

Su Jinze covered his face to hide his embarrassment. The way he called out "Er Sen Sen" was so obsequious that it gave everyone goosebumps.

Chiu Chiu originally wanted to rush up and hug her second aunt's leg, but considering that her second aunt seemed so intimate with someone else, she held back. The chubby little body leaned forward, but thanks to her good flexibility, she managed to steady herself.

She blinked her big eyes at her second aunt, waiting for her to hand her the pastries.

Could I give Qiuqiu a small steamed bun? My dear second aunt~

He Beier could no longer hide the smile in her eyes. She glanced at her daughter, who was obediently drinking porridge beside her, and then handed her the delicate pastry in her hand.

Chiu Chiu's eyes widened: "Huh?"

【Aren't you going to feed Chiu Chiu anymore?】

Sparrow has poor hearing and has some difficulty listening to others, so she listens more quietly, which makes her a bit dull over time.

She put down her spoon and sat there quietly. He Beier gave her an encouraging look, and she accepted the snack amidst Qiu Qiu's heartbroken gaze.

She handed the snack to Qiuqiu and said softly, "Here you go."

Chiu Chiu didn't immediately take the pastry; instead, she was completely captivated by Sparrow's voice. [Oh my god, how can there be such a beautiful older sister with such a lovely voice!]

Seeing that she didn't take the pastry, Que'er pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, took Qiuqiu's hand, and stuffed the pastry into her hand, saying, "Here, have some."

After completing the handover of the pastries, Que'er was about to leave when Qiuqiu suddenly grabbed Que'er's hand, "Sister!"

Chiu Chiu smiled sweetly at the sparrow and repeated, "Sister."

Sparrow panicked for a moment. She didn't hear the first chirp clearly and became a little flustered, but the chirp repeated it loudly.

My younger sister looks soft and frail, but her voice is surprisingly strong, and she can hear her clearly.

"Sister, little sister!"

Chiu Chiu was even happier, her little teeth showing as she smiled. She took a step forward and moved closer to Que'er, while Su Jinze, from behind, held Que'er's back and gently pushed her toward Chiu Chiu.

This cousin is usually a bit shy. She needs to learn from Qiuqiu's boldness so that she won't be easily bullied in the future.

Sparrow approached Chirp passively; she didn't know what to do, she just followed her body's instincts.

"Chirp chirp?"

Chirp tugged at her sleeve and tried to tiptoe to touch the sparrow.

Seeing how hard she was working, Que'er squatted down to be level with Qiuqiu: "Qiuqiu, what's wrong?"

Without any hesitation, Chiu Chiu leaned over and planted a kiss on Sparrow's cheek. After the kiss, she grinned like a little scoundrel, "Hehe."

"Sister~ Congee~"

【Sister Sparrow, Chirp likes you!】

Sparrow touched her cheek, her little face flushed, looked at Chirp Chirp and then at her mother, and smiled, revealing a pair of dimples. "Sister doesn't eat porridge, um... give it all to Chirp Chirp!"

Chiu Chiu scratched her head. Was her pronunciation really that bad?

Actually, she wasn't eating it all the time.

He Beier was delighted, "Que'er is much more lively when she's with Qiujiu."

Liu Yueyao sat down next to her and asked in surprise, "Your Que'er is so shy that she's practically burying her face in the ground. Where did you see her being lively, Second Sister-in-law?"

She's clearly a shy little girl!

But she's still very cute and pretty!

He Beier looked at the two children and smiled faintly: "You don't understand, Que'er really likes chirping."

Sparrow was getting increasingly depressed, and she didn't want Sparrow to be affected.

She knew that all the children loved playing with Chiu Chiu, so she chose to let Chiu Chiu become friends with her.

Just as He Beier wished, Qiuqiu took Que'er's hand and pulled her outside, saying, "Qiuqiu, let's play!"

From now on, Chuchu will protect you!
