It was already afternoon when we left the city. We could have stayed overnight peacefully, but now we have to stay in the wild again.

However, after experiencing the camping tent, everyone was quite looking forward to it.

After all, everyone has stayed in inns, but those tents and the things inside were incredibly novel to them.

So many things were so appealing that they couldn't bear to leave. After just one night, they wanted to switch to a guesthouse. To be honest, they were a little reluctant to leave.

Even knowing that they would have to sleep in tents for most of the journey ahead, they found it hard to suppress their reluctance to leave, especially the children.

Shen Xingyan's favorite thing was that single bed. Although it wasn't as spacious as the one she used to sleep in, it was extremely comfortable, especially the thick mattress underneath.

She really liked it; lying on it was much more comfortable than sleeping in the inn's bed.

Shen Xingmian collected so many mattresses because he was worried that mattresses, as consumables, would no longer be able to be produced in the future.

She also received a lot of sanitary napkins and toilet paper; no one would complain about having too many of these long-lasting supplies.

This is what she's most grateful for now. If she had come to ancient times and didn't have sanitary napkins, she would have been in unbearable pain.

If she hadn't used it before, that would be one thing, but she has! How could she have degenerated to the point of using a menstrual pad? I can't accept that at all.

But she's still young and doesn't have those worries yet, which makes me happy just thinking about it. I never imagined that the biggest benefit of living life again would be here, hahaha.

In the front carriage, Shen Zhiheng and Shen Yunqi were teaching the children, while Shen Xingmian, who just couldn't get it, was in the back carriage, petting the tiger cubs with his aunt.

They set off in such a hurry that they hadn't had time to name the tiger cub yet, and kept calling it "Zaizai, Zaizai".

My aunt suddenly suggested, "With its fur color and round shape, how about we name it 'Snowball'?"

"Great! How lovely! Snowball, did you hear that? From now on, that's your name!"

Shen Xingmian was terrible at naming things. In her eyes, a dog was "Dahuang" and a cat was "Mimi". It was difficult to come up with a second name.

Now that my aunt has come up with a name, she really feels it's saved her a lot of trouble and is very happy.

While touching the snowballs, Shen Xingmian was also stimulating the plants in the space to train her supernatural abilities. She was never idle for a moment.

If she's not good at martial arts, she has to work harder and focus on what she's good at.

It's not like we're all still kids, and when we grow up, our older brothers and sisters are all incredibly skilled, but when it's our turn, we can't do anything.

She wants to quietly improve herself and then amaze everyone!

snort.

They traveled smoothly until they came to a small lake. The carriage in front stopped, and Shen Yunqi jumped off and said, "Let's set up camp over there. We've been running all afternoon, it's time to get out and stretch our legs."

Shen Xingyan jumped out of the carriage quickly and ran to the back, calling out repeatedly, "Oh, little tiger, I've missed you so much!"

Seeing her daughter's utterly unladylike behavior, the eldest aunt couldn't help but cover her eyes, saying with a hint of disdain, "I told you not to be so reserved, but I didn't expect you to be so unrestrained. Even though we're all family, you should at least pay a little attention to your manners."

"Oh, Mom, I don't always do this. It's just once in a while, so please don't be angry with me~"

After Shen Xingyan finished speaking, she leaned forward and kissed her mother hard, making a loud "smack" sound, leaving Mu Zhizhi speechless.

"Oh dear, you silly child!"

Although he still seemed reluctant, his face lit up with a broad smile.

Shen Yunting knew that the little girl had learned these tricks from her daughter, so she glared at Shen Xingmian and warned her not to teach them such things again.

Shen Xingmian blinked innocently, returning her mother a bewildered smile, as if to say: Huh? What does this have to do with me?

"Oh dear, I have to go check on Dao Dao's leg." Before he finished speaking, he had already darted ahead.

Xiao Yanyue was still in the carriage when she heard Shen Xingmian's voice. Hearing how much she cared about her, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

Before he could finish laughing, Shen Xingmian was already in front of him, opening her arms to him and encouragingly saying, "Come on, jump down, I'll catch you!"

Xiao Yanyue felt offended. As a boy, how could he expect a girl who was not much older than him to catch him like that? Where was his dignity?

He'd rather climb down slowly!

But Shen Xingmian wasn't about to let him go through that hardship. Without giving him a chance to refuse, she grabbed the child's waist and lifted him up.

Xiao Yanyue: "..."

After putting the person on the ground, Shen Xingmian patted his head recklessly and muttered, "So short, hehe."

She really forgot that in elementary school, girls are generally taller than boys because they typically grow taller earlier.

Boys usually start to grow taller in junior high school, and some who develop slowly may not start until high school.

And they really do grow taller in no time. A boy who was about the same height as her grew almost 20 centimeters taller after just one summer vacation, and she went from looking at him at eye level to looking up at him.

She was quite heartbroken at the time, feeling that she was probably underdeveloped.

When she first entered high school, there was a short girl in her class who was nicknamed "Little 58". Because she was not familiar with those people, she never knew what "Little 58" meant.

Until one day, she became so curious that she secretly inquired about it, and then she froze on the spot, because—

"Xiao 58" means that she is 1.58 meters tall, and she is also 1.58 meters tall!

She had always thought that girl was short, but it turned out she was just as short as her. To use a local proverb, it was...

A crow lands on a pig; it can see the pig's blackness but not its own.

Since then, Shen Xingmian has been particularly concerned about her height. Now that there is finally someone shorter than her in the family, she couldn't be happier.

The opposite of this comfort is Xiao Yanyue, who is currently feeling deeply offended.

He wanted to defend himself, saying that as a nine-year-old child, he was not short at all, and that his father and mother were not short either, so he would definitely grow tall in the future.

But he knew that Shen Xingmian would definitely not care if he did that. She would only notice him when he grew up to be able to look down at her.

What Shen Xingmian didn't know was that from the moment she casually muttered those words, Xiao Yanyue began to pay extra attention to her diet and even went to ask her uncle for tips on growing taller.

It wasn't until much later, when someone lifted her up in one arm, that she realized that a casual remark she made years ago had actually been taken seriously so many years later.
