"Well, Fourth Brother really doesn't like to make friends with people, and he is usually easily ignored by people. But it seems that we knew each other before, so when Wu Xiyue paid attention to the people around him, he could naturally take care of you."
Gu Yuancheng patiently answered Sheng Nanxi's small questions.
"In his early years, my fourth brother became a disciple of the official master Zhong Lingzi. He did not make this known to the public for fear of arousing the jealousy of the royal family."
"From the outside, you look like an ordinary student studying at Qishan Academy in the northern border. You stay at Qishan Academy for a few months every year. Wu Xiyue is about the same age as you and also studied at the Girls' School at Qishan Academy a few years ago. There should be many opportunities for us to meet each other."
Gu Yuancheng spoke casually and didn't seem to notice anything unusual. However, Sheng Nanxi couldn't help but ponder after hearing this.
Logically speaking, Wu Xiyue seems to be a careful and considerate person, and it is indeed possible that she can try her best to take care of everyone.
But based on Sheng Nanxi's many years of experience in supporting couples, she still noticed something unusual.
For example, Sister Xiyue really liked her and often gave her many homemade snacks. But since Fourth Brother came back, the frequency of giving snacks seemed to be a little more frequent.
For example, sister Xiyue really likes to cook all kinds of food, and often works so hard to make all kinds of snacks that she has to rest in the middle of the night. However, the fourth brother of our family has a regular sleep schedule and pays great attention to the rhythm of life.
Why have I recently started to study those wooden gadgets day and night and often sleep until 9 o'clock?
Something is wrong! Something is wrong with these two!
Sheng Nanxi didn't think anything of it before, but if she continued to think along this line, she would feel more and more that something was wrong. She couldn't help but touch her fat chin and said with a wicked smile:
"Xiao Cheng, I heard that grandpa made a yard full of ice lanterns for grandma. Shall we go take a look tonight?"
"Ah? Didn't you take a look last night?" Gu Yuancheng was confused.
"How is that different?! That yard full of ice lanterns is like a fairy tale world, with different views from far and near. Every day we stand under the tree outside Fourth Brother's yard and look, the view is different!"
Gu Yuancheng thought, your little aunt was more excited than your grandmother when she saw the ice lanterns last night. Not only did she admire the scenery near and far, she also looked at the east, west, south, north and south.
But he didn't expose it, and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll go with you tonight. How can you enjoy the lights without eating cakes? I'll make some of your favorite Fuling cake later."
"Great! Xiao Cheng is the best!"
I don't know if it's because Sheng Nanxi lived too much of a repressed life in her previous life, but after being reborn as a three-year-old baby, she only loves to eat, drink and have fun. She is especially keen on reading gossip.
After returning home and having dinner, she clamored to take Xiao Cheng out to play for a while before coming back.
The two little ones walked out of the yard and hid in a corner. With a whoosh, they teleported to a tree a few dozen steps away from Fourth Brother's yard.
It's a pity that Sheng Nanxi waited and waited, sitting on the tree branch and reading the two new volumes of the storybook, but didn't find anything unusual.
The lights in the northern courtyards were turned off one after another. Some people went to bed early, while others were still busy with their work.
Wu Xiyue was still making cakes in the small kitchen in the backyard. The light was still on in Fourth Brother's room, and intermittent sounds could be heard, as if someone was sawing wood or something.
Everything seemed too normal, so normal that even Gu Yuancheng was puzzled. He tilted his head and looked at Sheng Nanxi in confusion.
"Now...it's still early. Let's look at a few more picture books before we leave."
Sheng Nanxi became a little uncertain when she saw this, but she still stubbornly refused to move.
"Okay, I'll accompany you no matter what you want to see." Gu Yuancheng handed her a warm water bag.
The pale yellow light of the ice lamp in the distance cast a halo on his face, and the young boy was also delicate, like a fairy doll made of colored glaze.
His eyes were still filled with tenderness as usual, and when he looked at her it was as if she was the only one in the world.
Sheng Nanxi was dazed by the look from the kid. She felt a little uncomfortable. She took the water bag and turned away.
I was just about to pat the little boy and let him continue reading.
But suddenly I heard a door opening creaking in the distance!
Under the dim light, the fourth brother of the Wang family took something and walked through the door of the room and the gate of the yard, and then went straight to the small kitchen in the backyard!
Sheng Nanxi knew that her many years of experience in CP was not covered up, and she immediately smiled and curved her eyes. She also did not forget to make a smug expression to the little boy beside her, indicating that the show was about to begin.
Gu Yuancheng laughed, although he didn't care much about the gossip, he still moved his body and lifted Sheng Nancy to his shoulder so that the little girl could enjoy the gossip.
