Chapter 13 Nian Nian fainted from the fragrance

"Hmm..." Shi Nanqi raised one corner of his mouth and narrowed his eyes with an evil expression, obviously locking onto the little ball on Shi Guilin's shoulder.

It was the first time Nian Nian saw this kind of expression on a beautiful woman's face. It was a completely different feeling from her grandmother's and very novel.

Shi Nanqi, who was approaching quickly and standing right next to Shi Guilin, had just stopped when he saw the little guy making faces under his eyelids.

He seemed to be not very proficient in controlling his facial expression, and his imitation was not very good. He could only close his eyelids, wrinkle his nose, and nod his head. His snow-white face trembled slightly from the effort of making expressions, like shaking milk skin.

Shi Nanqi covered his mouth with his hands and said "Oh" in surprise, raising his eyebrows: "Brother, look at the little guy's expression, is he imitating me? Hahahahaha, so clever."

Shi Guilin glanced at Nian Nian who was absorbed in imitation, and raised the corner of his lips: "I guess this is the first time you have seen such a crazy girl, so you must be interested."

"You have poison on your lips, don't you? How can you say that to your sister?" Shi Nanqi rolled her eyes at Shi Guilin unhappily and spread her hands. "Good boy, stop imitating me and let your aunt hold you."

She took the baby from her brother without saying a word, and kissed Nian Nian's little face without any hesitation, making a loud "bo" sound.

After the kiss, she commented: "You smell so good, I want to eat you up in one bite."

"Auntie, no!" Shi Linzhuo jumped up and down, "I want to eat first!"

"What are you talking about? You are not allowed to have such horrible thoughts about my son! He is just a child, and he is mine!"

Shi Guilin scolded them both, and at the same time raised his elbow to press on Shi Linzhuo's fifteen-year-old shoulder, trying to push it down, secretly threatening him, and his eyes were not idle, constantly giving his sister a glare.

"Old man, you take advantage of your age to bully a junior like me..." Shi Linzhuo turned his head away and complained in a low voice.

Nian Nian, who was held by Shi Nanqi, had no intention of paying attention to the fight between the adults. At this moment, he was seduced by the fragrance of Shi Nanqi and felt like he was floating in the air.

This scent wasn't from perfume. Rather, the subtle fragrance woven from head to toe by Shi Nanqi came from meticulous, all-encompassing care. Her body, hair, and skin were meticulously cared for, resulting in a naturally refreshing fragrance.

Nian Nian grasped the ends of Shi Nanqi's silky, smooth hair, her eyelashes fluttering slowly as she soaked in the fragrance. Perhaps from the gentle, sweet kiss, his face flushed, and he remained silent, as if completely stunned.

He could remember the last adult who kissed him was his father, Shi Guilin. And Shi Guilin's kisses were warm and macho, not fragrant at all.

"Your little baby's face is so tender, give her another kiss." As these words fell, Nian Nian, who was unable to react in time, was kissed on the left cheek again.

As Shi Nanqi stepped back, he looked down and saw Nian Nian's cheeks were red and her eyes were watery as she looked to the side.

"Niannian, come and see your aunt." Shi Nanqi coaxed him.

"Hmm." The little guy finally hummed, and covered his face with his hands, which were too small to cover anything. He murmured with difficulty and buried his head in Shi Nanqi's shoulder.

Shi Nanqi's shoulders were much narrower than Shi Guilin's, but it didn't matter, as Nian Nian could just curl up her legs and stick out her butt to hide herself.

"Oh, baby." Shi Nanqi hugged the little body in her arms, feeling both amused and helpless. She asked, "Nian Nian, are you shy? Ah? Are you?"

As he asked, he shook his fleshy butt.

Nian Nian heard her calling her name, and her ears turned even redder when she felt her slap her little butt. She tried to shrink her whole body upwards, trying to escape from her clutches.

But he was too small, and his movements looked like a little frog trying to swim in the water, but he couldn't swim.

Shi Nanqi looked at his shyness as he climbed up frantically, and felt that if Nian Nian was Mount Everest, he could also climb to the top.

"Don't be shy, Nian Nian. If you run away again, I won't be able to hold you."

As Shi Nanqi spoke, he took out a small gold ingot and put it into Nian Nian's pocket. After putting it in, he took out a stuffed toy shaped like a small dumpling and shook it, "Look, whose dumpling is this?"

Nian Nian, who had been huddled up with her head down, revealed a pair of bright eyes and looked at the chubby little Jiaozi.

The dumpling was very small, only half the size of Shi Nanxi's palm, but for Nian Nian, it was just enough to hold in one hand, so he reached out to take it.

"Hey," Shi Nanqi pulled his hand back, preventing him from getting it, "Who wants some dumplings?"

Nian Nian raised her hand and said, "Yes, Nian Nian, I want it."

Shi Nanqi couldn't help laughing: "Who am I?"

Nian Nian looked at her, speechless, and withdrew her hand aggrievedly.

"Call me auntie, and I'll give it to you if you call me that nicely."

Nian Nian slowed down, took a breath, and pouted like a little goldfish blowing bubbles: "Auntie, auntie, auntie——"

Shi Nanqi couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Coo coo coo, are you a little pigeon? Well, you pass, here you go."

Nian Nian got the dumplings as she wished.

The sound of a door opening and closing was heard again in the entrance hall.

"I'm back. Where's Gui Lin?" Shi Lihan started shouting without even changing his shoes.

"Is everyone back? We're too late." Chen Yi, the woman in professional attire next to Shi Lihan, changed her shoes and looked around the living room.

"Sister-in-law, you are finally back. Look at this baby, so cute." Shi Nanqi heard the voice and quickly turned around to show her Nian Nian who was making dumplings.

"Sister-in-law," Shi Guilin nodded and greeted Chen Yi, then turned around and said, "Brother, I'm here."

Shi Lihan: "Finally I'm home."

Chen Yi: "I've been away from home for a year working, and today we can finally have dinner together."

"I'm going to take a long vacation, and our family can have dinner together every day." Shi Guilin raised a bright smile, and his tone was so excited that it seemed as if all the disgust in the past no longer existed.

"Where's the baby? Let's see."

Shi Lihan and Chen Yi stopped joking with Shi Guilin and surrounded Shi Nanqi together.

Nian Nian, playing with dumplings, suddenly felt a large section of light blocked out from his eyes. The tender white skin of his dumplings suddenly darkened several shades. He looked up blankly, his eyes glancing blankly at several faces.

"The little guy has really round eyes, even bigger than Lin Zhuo's when he was little." Chen Yi said, "I'm your aunt, Nian Nian. Come take a look at me, get familiar with my appearance."

"And uncle's," Shi Lihan kneaded Nian Nian's calf like dough, "Nian Nian, can you call me uncle?"

Nian Nian, who was suddenly surrounded and stared at by two strangers, felt a little timid. He nervously looked at Shi Guilin: "Papa."

"Don't be afraid, Nian Nian." Shi Guilin saw that the little Nian Nian seemed a little timid while holding the dumplings. Worried that he was shy, he held the baby back in his arms.

Before Nian Nian could continue to learn how to call uncle and aunt, Wang Xiulin came over.

"Oh, I wasn't paying attention for a moment, everyone's home." She squeezed in between the crowd and naturally snatched Nian Nian away. "Just right, dinner is ready, let's all move to the dining room. Little Nian Nian, sit next to grandma and eat, okay?"

Nian Nian was no longer so restrained when he returned to a more familiar embrace. He swung his feet, feeling very comfortable, and nodded to Wang Xiulin with his eyebrows curved like a little Maitreya Buddha.

A tall baby chair was placed between Wang Xiulin and Shi Guilin. Nian Nian was wearing a cream-colored bib and holding a spoon in her right hand. The aroma of the food on the table made her dizzy and her nose twitched.

With a click, a bowl of noodles cooked in broth was placed in front of Nian Nian. Shi Guilin blew it cool for him and put spoonful by spoonful into his mouth. "Is it delicious?"

"Hmm." Nian Nian chewed until her lips were shiny. After swallowing, she didn't forget to take another bite: "Papa, I want it."

The other people at the table were also eating, occasionally chatting.

"I remember that the Cui and Chu families also have children of the same generation as Nian Nian, right? You can bring them along to play and make friends with them." Chen Yi mentioned it casually while drinking a spoonful of porridge.

Shi Guilin thought so too. Nian Nian couldn't just stay at home. It would be more lively if she had some friends to play with. He turned around and asked, "How old are the children from those two families?"

"They are all over one year old." Chen Yi replied.

Shi Lihan, who had been silent at the dinner table, seemed to remember something and put down his chopsticks temporarily: "Dad, I heard that the Jiang family's child is sick?"
