This sudden sound was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples. The five people who were originally sitting or standing and talking in low voices in the room all subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked outside the yard in unison.
I saw the sunlight outside the courtyard shining on a small figure, that was Xiao Ning. He was as petite and cute as a flower that had just bloomed in spring, with a healthy blush on his pink cheeks, a pair of big eyes that seemed to hide stars, a small nose that was slightly tilted, and an innocent smile on the corner of his mouth.
He just stood there quietly, the breeze blew gently, blowing up a few strands of hair on his forehead. In an instant, it was as if there was an invisible magic that attracted the attention of the five people in the room.
The five of them stood up almost at the same time and walked out of the room with brisk steps. They came to Xiao Ning's side, their eyes full of curiosity and love.
One of the taller women with a kind face squatted down gently, stretched out her arms, and held Xiao Ning firmly in her arms. She brought Xiao Ning close to her, looked up and down at the little guy in front of her with curiosity, her eyes flashing with surprise, and she couldn't help but sigh:
"What a cute little boy! Are you the Emperor's child?"
Xiao Ning gently shook his head in the woman's arms, looking like a cute little rattle. Then, he turned his big watery eyes and looked at Tina beside him, puffing up his chest slightly, and explained seriously:
"Sister Tina, I'm Xiao Ning."
Upon hearing this, Tina's bright eyes instantly opened wider, like two round grapes. Her mouth opened slightly, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
Then, she quickly stretched out her arms, carefully took Xiao Ning from the woman's arms, held him against her chest, looked him up and down carefully, and kept muttering:
"You are Master Xiao Ning? How is that possible? Master Xiao Ning is an adult, with a tall and straight figure and a mature and steady temperament. How could he be the child in front of you? This is simply unbelievable!"
Xiao Ning pouted awkwardly when Tina suspected him, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. He stretched out his chubby little hand, gently pulled the corner of Tina's clothes, and said seriously:
"I am indeed Xiao Ning. I know your name, and I also know that you can't use chopsticks, and you can't pick up food, and your face turned red with anxiety, and so many other things."
Tina looked at the child in front of her with surprise, her eyes full of suspicion. But after thinking carefully, every word he said was indeed true. These things were all said by her and Xiao Ning in private, and no one else could know them.
Her eyes gradually changed from suspicion to surprise, and her heart was beating like a little rabbit. She couldn't help but hug Xiao Ning tighter, muttering:
"What on earth is going on..."
Then, Xiao Ning's face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly spoke:
"Um... Actually, someone cast a spell on me and turned me into a child, so I became what I am now."
"Did the witch make you like this?"
When Tina heard this, her eyes widened instantly, her face full of anxiety, and she shouted hurriedly, her voice full of concern. After hearing Tina's words, Xiao Ning tilted his head and thought seriously, and Rong Rouxue's appearance appeared in his mind, thinking in his heart:
Is You Rong Rouxue considered a witch? It seems that she does know magic, so she should be considered one.
Thinking of this, he nodded gently, then stretched out his little hand and gently touched Tina's face. The action was like an adult comforting a child, and he said softly:
"I guess so. But don't worry, I will change back after a while." The tone was full of certainty, as if he was making a promise to Tina.
Tina listened to his words, and her originally tightly clenched heart instantly relaxed, and her tense expression also eased. Then, she carefully held Xiao Ning in her arms, as if she was holding the most precious baby in the world, with gentle movements and full of love.
Just then, the woman next to him came up and asked curiously, "Dear Tina, do you know this child?"
There was a hint of confusion in her eyes, as if she was puzzled as to why Tina was holding a strange child so intimately.
Tina nodded, a warm smile on her face, and said firmly:
"Well, I know this kid. Don't worry, he's a very good kid." That smile seemed to tell the people around him that Xiao Ning was trustworthy and lovable.
Xiao Ning's cleverness came up all of a sudden, and he quickly took over the conversation like a lively little monkey. He used his childish but loud voice to shout in the noise: "
That’s right, I’m a good kid! Dear sisters, my name is Xiao Ning, and I’m a family member of Sister Tina. I’m glad to meet you!”
As he spoke, he blinked his big watery eyes and an innocent smile on his face. He looked as lovely as a flower blooming in spring.
The four people were originally attracted by Xiao Ning's cute appearance and sweet words. Now looking at such a cute child, and his voice was so comfortable, it was as if there was an invisible magic, and they couldn't help but want to get close to him.
One of the women raised her arm first, her slender and white fingers gently touched Xiao Ning's cheek, the action was so gentle as if she was afraid of hurting the delicate flower. Seeing this, the others followed suit, some of them gently pinched Xiao Ning's face, some gently stroked his hair, teasing him and laughing happily.
