Chen Yu hummed when he heard that, leaned over and picked up the cake knife, cut a standard triangular piece of cake onto the plate, then picked up a fork and handed it to the girl sitting next to him.
Li Shu reached out to take it, and under the gaze of the two people on her left and right, she scooped a small piece with a fork and put it into her mouth.
"How does it taste?" Xia Ningwei asked.
Li Shu nodded obediently, "It's delicious."
"As long as it tastes good, that's fine. Chen Yu told me that you like this flavor, but he didn't tell me which shop it's from, so I ordered it from a private cake shop that I often order from." Xia Ningwei said with a smile.
Li Shu took another small bite with her fork and said, "Auntie, I'm not picky."
Just like that, Li Shu finished the cake on the plate under Xia Ningwei's loving gaze.
She placed the plate on the coffee table, then suddenly thought of something. She took out a box from her pocket and handed it to Xia Ningwei beside her. "Auntie, this is something I made myself. It's for you."
"Did you make it yourself?" Xia Ningwei's eyes lit up and she reached out to take it.
She opened the lid and saw a round, transparent jade pendant inside. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Xiao Shu, you are so amazing, you can even make jade pendants?!"
Seeing this, Chen Yu walked over and picked up the big coal ball, then sat down next to Li Shu.
Shen Yizhuo walked up to Shen Yu and stopped, also talking, his pair of wet little eyes just looking at you quietly.
"It's your sister's child." Zhen Qing suddenly said.
Seeing this, Shen Yizhuo shrank back into Li Shu's arms, but there was no fear on his face. His eyes fell on Da Meiqiu's body and one could tell what he was thinking.
Zhen Qing lifted me up from under her legs, took the big coal ball from her hand, and then placed it under my legs.
"Zhuo Zhuo, why did he come up here suddenly? Did something happen?" Xia Ningwei put the jade pendant back out of the box, and put the big coal ball under her legs under the sofa. Then she stood up and walked towards the older girl.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yizhuo sat up slightly and stretched out his hand towards the big coal ball hesitantly.
Although I am big, I am not very strong. It is difficult for me to hold the seven-month-old Big Coal Ball.
"Did he see it?" Zhen Qing asked.
Chen Yu turned his head to look at me, pursed his upper lip, and said in a strong voice: "His sister..."
Shen Yizhuo seemed to have heard nothing special about what you said. He did not stop his movements and continued to interact with the big coal ball.
Xia Ningwei saw this and felt helpless. She realized her feet were numb from squatting, so she stood up hastily and turned to look at Li Shu in front of her. "Li Shu, come and take a look. Zhuo Zhuo just woke up, so I guess he'll just let her touch him."
"I didn't realize Zhuozhuo actually dislikes big cats." Xia Ningwei's expression grew even more stern upon seeing this, and she said with a hint of regret, "I should have gotten one at home earlier. You were also worried that Zhuozhuo was still quite large and might get scratched if you weren't paying attention."
"He's right. You should ask someone to buy one later." Xia Ningwei nodded, then looked at Shen Yizhuo and said with a smile, "Zhuozhuo, don't just focus on playing with the big cat. You may be hungry, but do you want to eat a big cake?"
You reached out your hand to touch me, but the older girl instinctively tilted her head forward to avoid your hand.
Just as he finished speaking, a surprised female voice suddenly rang out in his ears, "Master Yizhuo, why is he here?"
Li Shu had just sat down on the sofa with Shen Yizhuo in her arms when Big Coal Ball jumped down from somewhere and landed steadily under Li Shu's calf.
Shen Yizhuo touched the big coal ball's head hard with his index finger, then slowly retracted it. Seeing that it had no reaction, he thought for a few seconds before touching my head with his whole hand.
"It's too late to raise one now," said Li Shu.
Shen Yizhuo leaned in Li Shu's arms, pursed his big pink lips. After a few seconds, he raised his eyes and glanced at Li Shu below his head, as if asking, "Can't I?"
Seeing this, Shen Yu also stood up and followed.
Shen Yu glanced at the older child, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. That child actually lost both his parents...
You patted the big coal ball's butt, signaling it to behave. If it were to move around, you would notice Shen Yizhuo staring at you out of the corner of your eye. After thinking for a moment, you hurriedly said, "Want to touch it?"
Shen Yizhuo tilted his head when he heard this, his eyes fell on Shen Yu who was sitting on the other side of Zhen Qing. He suddenly slid down from under the sofa holding a large coal ball and walked towards Shen Yu with his thighs.
Li Shu hummed, "Auntie, just carry it close to your body."
Seeing this, Chen Yu directly sent the big coal ball to my hand, about two centimeters away. The big coal ball also resisted, and its pair of round little eyes just looked at me.
Zhen Qing has been observing me. Shen Yizhuo, who noticed your gaze, also raised his eyelids to look at you, but then slowly withdrew his gaze and buried his whole body in Li Shu's arms.
Xia Ningwei seemed to be still not used to the older girl's behavior. She was still impatient and asked softly, "Zhuozhuo, what's wrong? Is he sleeping?"
You paused for a moment, then continued, "Zhuozhuo is my sister Zhenqing's child. He likes to talk, so don't be offended."
Big Coal Ball meowed and rubbed his head against the palm of my hand.
Shen Yizhuo's chubby hands clenched Zhen Qing's clothes, his double eyelids half-closed, his chin resting on my shoulder, and he nodded heavily.
Zhen Qing leaned closer to Chen Yu, glanced at me sideways, and said nonchalantly, "Play by yourself."
Li Shu touched the front of my neck, turned around and walked towards the sofa.
Xia Ningwei looked at my small back holding Shen Yizhuo, sighed heavily, and walked to Shen Yu's side, "Dashu, you guys go over too."
Zhen Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and he responded loudly, then followed Xia Ningwei back to the sofa.
Upon hearing this, the eight people sitting on the sofa turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.
Li Shu stood up from the sofa and walked over here.
Xia Ningwei nodded, raised her eyes to look at her, and said with a smile: "Xiaoshu, I will definitely carry this thing you gave me with me. This is something you made yourself."
Li Shu raised her eyebrows again, "If you want to touch it, touch it."
Behind him, there was a pretty girl standing nearby, looking about seventy-seven years old, with a male servant standing beside her.
Shen Yu hummed heavily, retracted his gaze, and looked back at the older girl nearby.
Shen Yizhuo frowned, raised his head and looked at Li Shu, seemingly dissatisfied. He took himself out of her arms and put him under the sofa.
Li Shu hummed, then bent down and picked me up. She touched my head and found that my hair was not wet with sweat. She asked loudly, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
I saw Xia Ningwei squatting behind me and talking, but the girl didn't react at all, her eyes were empty, and she seemed to be in a very bad state.
Shen Yizhuo's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he pinched Big Coal Ball's ear again.
