Chapter 28
Sui Sui looked at his brother with a look of disappointment, his fat face full of seriousness.
Jiang Mingyan stood there hesitantly, holding the cub in his arms. He thought and thought, but he still couldn't figure it out. So he humbly asked the cub in his arms, "Sui Sui, could you please tell me what's wrong with wearing black clothes? I still don't understand why I can't wear black clothes."
"Alas!" Sui Sui sighed deeply. When she spoke again, her voice was filled with pride: "This family really can't survive without Sui Sui!"
Jiang Mingyan looked at the reserved and proud little girl, and a gentle smile appeared in his phoenix eyes.
He echoed the little fat boy's words and praised him, "Yes, our family couldn't do without Master Sui Sui. Master Sui Sui is extremely important and is the most amazing child in the family."
The elder brother's sincere praise and high recognition of Sui Sui's importance in the family immediately made the little cub overjoyed. He couldn't help but puff out his chest with pride, and the hair on his head was shaking with pride.
You will know it every year!
Although older brothers are very powerful, they also have their vulnerable moments and need comfort and care year after year.
But it doesn’t matter, just like brother protects Suisui, Suisui will also protect brother. Suisui will be brother’s beacon and candle.
My mother said that I should show my brother the way every year!
Suisui is a capable guy who shoulders the responsibility of supporting the family!
Thinking of this, the little fat boy giggled, put his short arms on his brother's shoulders, raised his round head, and gave Jiang Mingyan a sticky kiss on the side of his face.
"It's okay if brother didn't notice. Suisui will help brother observe." After the kiss, Suisui hugged his brother's neck and comforted him in a baby voice: "Don't be sad, brother~"
Jiang Mingyan steadied the throbbing little creature, feeling the heavy yet reassuring weight in his arms. He smiled and said, "Good. Our Master Sui Sui is truly wonderful."
Every year, her two grape-like black round eyes would happily curve into beautiful little crescents.
He leaned close to his brother's ear and whispered mysteriously, "Sui Sui has already checked it for me!"
Sui Sui proudly said: "Brother likes to turn over the Yuanying, Sui Sui secretly went to see Grandpa Nao and took note of it! He has white hair, gray clothes, and black shoes!"
"Brother, do the same! You will soon reach the Nascent Soul stage!" The little fat boy looked at his brother eagerly and thought his little idea was great!
Jiang Mingyan was slightly stunned, feeling touched and a little amused.
He was wondering why Sui Sui was staring at the Third Elder furtively last night, like a little mouse stealing oil.
I didn't expect it was for this.
Well, what bad intentions could the little fat boy have?
He just thought that "Nascent Soul" was just a name. The Third Elder was a Nascent Soul, and he drove away the monster in one go!
Since my brother also wants to become a Nascent Soul and become that powerful, he must learn from the Third Elder!
"Okay." After understanding why the girl in black was banished to the cold palace by the little guy, Jiang Mingyan did not refute Sui Sui's childish words, but agreed and took action immediately.
He first put Sui Sui back into the crib, then took out all his gray robes from the storage bag, put them on the crib, and let the little fat boy choose.
Jiang Mingyan actually didn't have much of a feeling about the color of the clothes he was wearing.
He always wore black clothes, simply because he thought it was convenient.
If Sui Sui doesn't like it, you can naturally change it according to the little one's wishes.
Suisui's face was serious, as if she was facing a huge event. She carefully examined the few gray robes her brother had. She even stretched out her chubby hands to touch each one. Finally, she chose a robe without any pattern and with very soft fabric: "Brother, wear this!"
Jiang Mingyan picked up the robe, gently tapped Sui Sui's soft little nose in approval, and then put on the robe.
Sui Sui looked up at his brother.
After taking off the black tights, Jiang Mingyan's sharp edge seemed to fade a little. In addition, he was looking at the cub on the crib at the moment, and his phoenix eyes were filled with tenderness, as if there was light snow falling into the lake or the breeze blowing through the pine branches.
The little fat boy opened his mouth blankly.
"It looks good!" Sui Sui came back to his senses and immediately grabbed the corner of his brother's clothes, his round black eyes full of admiration.
Jiang Mingyan looked at the little guy's happy face, and his heart softened, and he also felt a little happy: "Then brother will wear it like this from now on."
"No!" Sui Sui pondered for a while, and finally shook her head to refuse: "Brother is like a Yuanying, so I can change the clothes that brother likes. There is no need to do this. I want brother to like it!"
Jiang Mingyan picked up Sui Sui with one hand, and the gentle smile between his eyebrows could not be concealed at all: "Sui Sui, how can you be so nice? You like all the clothes Sui Sui picked for you. The gray robe is also very beautiful."
"Well, I'll wait until brother reaches Nascent Soul stage and pick clothes for him every year!" The little fat boy heard his brother's praise, holding his round face with his little hands, smiled sweetly, like a little sugar bean, and announced loudly and happily.
"Really? But it will take a long time for brother to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Won't you pick clothes for him every year? Will he wear the same grey robe every day?" Jiang Mingyan teased the little fat boy with a smile.
"Ah?" Sui Sui put down her hands in confusion and looked up at her brother: "But before, brother also wore black clothes every day..."
Looking at the little cub's clear and innocent round eyes, Jiang Mingyan's smile deepened.
As he walked towards the dining table with Sui Sui in his arms, he explained with a smile, "Brother has several black clothes, but they all look exactly the same. Sui Sui sleeps soundly every day, and when she wakes up, brother has already changed into clothes, and the black clothes he wore yesterday have also been washed."
As he spoke, the hand that was not holding the cub pointed to the thin rope hanging from the edge of the cave.
There was a large piece of black cloth hanging on it and a few small clothes.
Sui Sui stared blankly at the piece of cloth that could completely cover the small clothes next to it, her face blank: "But my brother's clothes are tall and long, this one is so big..."
"Isn't Suisui's clothes bigger when unfolded than when she's wearing them?" Jiang Mingyan ruffled the fat kid's shaggy hair. "Suisui doesn't usually go there, so it's normal that she didn't notice."
"Woo?" Suisui looked at her brother, hesitant: "Really?"
"Really." Jiang Mingyan smiled and put Sui Sui on his own little chair with a fluffy and soft cushion. "Okay, Sui Sui, it's time to eat."
"I will also pick clothes for my brother in the future." Suisui did not touch the small bowl, but held his brother's big hand with a serious look.
"Okay." Jiang Mingyan's eyes unconsciously became softer.
"However, before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, you still need to wear gray clothes!" Sui Sui emphasized loudly.
"Yes, yes, we will listen to our master Suisui." Jiang Mingyan naturally obeyed him.
After getting the answer from her brother, Sui Sui let go of her little hand with satisfaction, picked up her own little spoon, and swallowed the sweet fruit puree in the spoon in one gulp.
"Good!" The little fat boy puffed up his cheeks and praised vaguely.
"I wish I could feel this way every time I eat meat paste." Jiang Mingyan sat opposite the little fat boy and sighed when he heard this.
"Hmph~" Suisui buried his chubby face in the bowl and ignored his brother.
Jiang Mingyan laughed.
The cave was silent for a moment, with only the sound of bowls and dishes colliding.
Suisui ate most of the fruit puree in the small bowl in one go. After calming his rumbling stomach, he slowed down his movements holding the spoon.
The little fat boy scooped up the remaining fruit puree with a small spoon. A rare feeling of sadness arose in his little head. The little emotions brought out from the dream that had faded away due to the comfort of his brother's gentle words filled the air again.
Is that blurry figure really his brother? Suisui always feels like he knows a lot, but when he recalls it, his little head is still blank.
What exactly is Long Naotian?
Alas, I am so sad every year.
Jiang Mingyan sat across the table, quietly watching the little fellow with his eyebrows twisted into a knot of distress, and sighed silently.
Why would a tiny cub have troubles?
My brother also fell into deep thought.
However, Jiang Mingyan soon could no longer continue to ponder.
He looked at the chubby little boy who had put down his spoon and leaned his chubby little body against the back of the chair behind him. He stood up and picked up Sui Sui with a worried look on his face, putting him on his lap: "Is Sui Sui full?"
Suisui only ate a small bowl of fruit puree this morning.
If it was minced meat, it would be understandable.
But, I clearly ate Sui Sui’s favorite fruit puree this morning.
At this time in the past, Jiang Mingyan would harden his heart not to look at Sui Sui's pitiful big eyes and refuse to serve the little fat boy another bowl.
Unexpectedly, today the situation is reversed.
Thinking about this, Jiang Mingyan reached out and touched Sui Sui's soft, white belly: "Sui Sui, are you not going to eat another bowl of fruit puree?"
Although there was clothing between them, the cool feeling of her brother's fingers on her belly still made Sui Sui burst out laughing: "I'm full! I'm full! Brother, don't touch my belly anymore..."
The little fat boy dodged his brother's big hand back and forth, but finally found that he could not escape from his brother's clutches, so he simply used his hands and feet to trap the big hand firmly in his arms.
Jiang Mingyan looked at the little guy holding his hands, with clear eyes and bright smile, and couldn't help laughing.
He felt the soft yet firm weight on his hand, hesitated for a moment, then moved his fingers slightly.
Sure enough, the next moment, Sui Sui pouted her little mouth, as if she wanted to seriously reprimand him, but before she could open her mouth, the little guy couldn't help laughing again.
"Hahahaha...brother is bad!"
After laughing and joking for a while, the little melancholy in Suisui's heart was like a gorgeous butterfly, flapping its wings and flying away lightly in the laughter.
The little fat cub lay lazily on his brother's lap like a kitten, and asked softly, "Brother, when are we going out?"
"Have you forgotten, Sui Sui? We are still hiding from the bad guys and it will take a few days before we can go out." Jiang Mingyan replied gently.
"How many days will it take?" Sui Sui looked at his brother eagerly.
"When the sun rises in the east, the day begins." Jiang Mingyan hugged the little cub and spoke slowly, "Starting from tomorrow, when the sun rises in the east for the fifteenth time, brother will take Sui Sui to see Uncle Chen and Da Hei, okay?"
I am always busy nodding my head.
Then, the little fat boy started to spend his days picking at his fat fingers.
Although the sun has already risen from the east for a long time when Suisui wakes up every day, Suisui doesn't care about this little thing!
As the days passed, after Jiang Mingyan took out a thick Taoist scripture and began to teach Sui Sui to read, the little fat boy's desire to go out increased exponentially.
"elder brother!"
One day, before Sui Sui even opened his eyes, he was already calling out to his brother in a loud voice: "Yesterday it was like Si Si, today it's like Si Si!"
Jiang Mingyan closed the jade box on the table upon hearing the sound, and walked over with a smile to put on the little clothes for the excited little guy: "Yes, Sui Sui is right."
"Hehe..." Suisui happily let her brother play with her. After her brother put on her little clothes and wiped her chubby face, she was still not satisfied and begged in a low voice: "I want the Dust Removal Technique~"
Jiang Mingyan pinched his soft cheeks helplessly: "Didn't I just cast one last night?"
Suisui blinked her black round eyes and gave her brother a sweet smile.
What else could Jiang Mingyan do? He had to fulfill the little fat boy's wish.
Sui Sui, whose wish was fulfilled, jumped up and climbed up, holding onto his brother's arm to look at where his brother had just stood. "Brother, were you looking at Senmo just now?"
Jiang Mingyan picked up the little guy, walked to the table, and opened the three jade boxes on it.
"Gui Zi Yue Lian, Jin Yin Yuan Hua, and Yin Shuang Sha." He said quietly, "We only need one more black hedge grass, and then we can start refining the soul-restoring pill."
"Black hedge grass?" Suisui tilted his little head.
So this is what my brother wanted.
"It looks like Senmo?" Sui Sui asked in a childish voice, "Xuexue can help brother early."
Jiang Mingyan's brows relaxed as he held Sui Sui tightly. "It's a small black grass. But if Xuexue can't find the black hedge grass, Sui Sui shouldn't worry, okay? Brother already has some news on the black hedge grass."
Sui Sui hugged her brother's neck and nodded quickly when she heard the words, pouting her little face: "Don't worry, Sui Sui."
Help your brother every year!
Today’s breakfast is Sui Sui’s favorite fruit puree. Sui Sui drank two small bowls in a row!
After eating and drinking, Jiang Mingyan skillfully tied Suisui's hair into a fluffy little bun.
Then, Suisui was put into a backpack that was bigger than the previous one by his brother.
This backpack was woven by Jiang Mingyan himself. Although it is not as exquisite as the previous one, it is stronger.
Judging from the little fat boy’s current growth rate, it may be possible to use it until he is six years old.
Suisui sat in the basket, wearing the small wreath that her brother had just made. Her round eyes were shining, and she looked like a fluffy little animal that was about to go out and have fun, and she couldn't wait to step left and right with her furry paws.
My brother walked out of the cave carrying Sui Sui on his back!
They entered a forest where there was only a little sunlight!
They are coming out!
Wow~ They have arrived at Zhongzhuang~
My brother is awesome!
Suisui excitedly clung to the edge of the backpack and peeked out.
Eh? Isn't this the way to Uncle Chen's house?
Sui Sui quickly poked his brother's shoulder with his little fleshy hand: "Wrong, brother, you're going the wrong way!"
"That's right." Jiang Mingyan held onto the backpack and said gently, "We're running low on spirit stones right now. How about we go to Tang Jiu and exchange some for them first?"
Thinking of her brother always buying something for Uncle Chen, the little tuft of hair on Sui Sui's head shook lively.
Sui Sui knows that you need spirit stones to buy things!
"Okay, then let's go exchange for spirit stones first."
"Sui Sui is so good." Jiang Mingyan gently lifted the backpack, his tone indulgent and soft, causing passers-by to turn around and take a few more glances.
Sui Sui didn't understand what was going on, but gave the man a big smile, which was warm and cute.
So the pedestrians nodded in understanding and continued on their way.
"Tsk, what wind brings our Young Master Jiang here?" As soon as he stepped into Tang's Pharmacy, Tang Jiu's teasing voice came from above.
The young man in the golden crown and blue robe stood at the second-floor railing and waved casually at the cub in the basket on his back. "Ah, isn't this our most adorable Sui Sui? Who tied Sui Sui's hair today? She's so cute, and the wreath is beautiful too."
Sui Sui proudly raised her little head and said in a childish voice, "Brother made it for Sui Sui! Brother also made the wreath!"
"Really?" Although Tang Jiu had long known that Jiang Mingyan doted on his younger brother, he still couldn't help laughing when he thought of Jiang Mingyan with a cold face carefully braiding the cub's hair and making a wreath.
After laughing, I felt a little emotional.
Jiang Mingyan was indifferent to Tang Jiu's words. He first took Sui Sui out of the basket and held her in his arms before going up the stairs.
"Tsk, you have such a stern face. I wonder who owes you a huge sum of spirit stones and won't pay it back?" Tang Jiu pulled over a chair and sat down. He looked at Jiang Mingyan and raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Why aren't you wearing black today?"
Jiang Mingyan found a chair and sat down, saying coldly, "You're really nosy."
"Hey, who cares?" Tang Jiu opened the jade fan in his hand with a swish and was about to retort, "You used to wear black, and with your face that hasn't changed in eight hundred years, people could tell at a glance that you were definitely a sharp and cold swordsman. Now you've changed into a gray robe..."
"What's wrong with the gray robe?" Jiang Mingyan replied calmly.
"Of course..."
Something is wrong.
"Jiang Mingyan, something's wrong with you." Tang Jiu narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Before, I could say eight hundred sentences and you wouldn't even finish a sentence. Why are you so enthusiastic today?"
"Are you setting a trap for me?"
