Xie Yuancheng was talking to me about interpersonal relationships, and I was almost falling asleep while listening, even though I had just woken up.
"Ying'er!" I shook my head twice before focusing on Xie Yuancheng's face. "You can fall asleep even when I'm talking. Do you think what I'm saying is boring?"
"No." My makeup was very light today. I hugged his face and kissed him. Xie Yuancheng was still angry. I pried open his mouth, and finally he gave me some face. I kissed his lips. "Yuancheng, I care about you the most."
"That's more like it, come closer." Xie Yuancheng's face turned noticeably redder. Don't try to fool me. I pointed at his cheek and laughed, "Ying'er, it's normal for people to blush for you. I've never blushed for anyone."
"Good boy~ my little darling." It's really fun to tease him occasionally. I smiled as I looked at Xie Yuancheng. He was so energetic so early in the morning, all because of him.
It was very sweet inside the carriage, but once I got off, I was in for a headache. I turned to look at Xie Yuancheng, and he was probably furious. He hadn't even handled such a small matter properly, and the people kneeling were trembling.
"Yuancheng, it's the New Year, so tell us properly. If we find anything bad later, we'll settle the score all at once." I squeezed his hand to help change the subject.
I was actually quite pleased that Xie Yuancheng agreed, but I was worried that it would set a bad example for him. Only after everyone had left did I ask him if he minded.
“Ying’er, we are one. I also thought of this method earlier, but I wasn’t sure. Since Ying’er thinks the same way as me, let’s give them a chance, but this will be the last time.”
"Okay, I won't say much next time. You clearly didn't sleep well last night, and you still have to do so many things. Go to bed early tonight, and I'll cooperate however I want."
"Good boy, let's go, let's get back to work." Xie Yuancheng's smile is so captivating. I was originally planning to rest, but I ended up following him to get back to work.
But when I looked at the list again, I just wanted to close my eyes. I really admire those two siblings so much; they can adapt to something like this. I think I'd better stay under Xie Yuancheng's wing and help him solve other problems.
"My eyes hurt so much, but I've finally sorted everything out." I rubbed my eyes against Xie Yuancheng's shoulder. "I just realized how hard you and my sister have worked."
"Yes, Ying'er, you can't make me angry in the future, or I'll have an even harder time." He always finds opportunities to get benefits from me. I completely cooperated with him, which made Xie Yuancheng even happier. He must have two brains and six eyes, otherwise how could he not be tired!
I've been running around with Xie Yuancheng for two days, so tomorrow morning should be a little easier; I can just stay at the manor and arrange things. I was almost dozing off while taking a bath, but Xie Yuancheng gave me a fragrance, which helped me feel more awake.
"How did you make this? It smells so unique!" I was about to lean closer to smell it when Xie Yuancheng turned it off. "What are you doing? That expression is so dangerous, it scares me!"
"Ying'er is scared? Does she know something?" Xie Yuancheng whispered in my ear. After I heard him finish speaking, I pulled him into the water. We didn't even need to take off our clothes. I held him in the water for a few seconds before he sat down on the stool.
"Hehe~ Let you talk nonsense to me." I lay on the rest mat watching him. Xie Yuancheng really knows how to tease people. He took off his clothes one by one. I wanted to cover my eyes, but I'm not the shy little girl I used to be. Now I'm going to look openly.
"We can't stay up too late tonight, we have to get up early tomorrow. This is Ying'er's request. I'm so good to you."
Is it really okay to boast at this time? I know what he's thinking, but I'm going along with him. Anyway, I can't go against Xie Yuancheng. He's already exhausted, and I feel bad for him too.
I was sleeping soundly, and I even dreamt that when I was practicing swordsmanship at home, my father was teaching me very strictly, but after he left, I became lazy. Although my eldest brother was my adopted son, he taught me very seriously, but he also left after I turned nine. My mother left it to me whether I practiced or not, and I neglected my training.
"Ying'er~ wake up! We're staying up all night tonight, so I'll let you sleep until the afternoon tomorrow." You're only going to sleep until the afternoon? I'm going to rub my eyes, but Xie Yuancheng's hand slaps me away. "How many times have I told you? Are you secretly rubbing your eyes behind my back?"
"No way~ It's not even dawn yet! Are we getting up already?" I looked outside and it was still dark. We're getting up way too early.
"It's already two incense sticks late, get up quickly. You can rest at noon, but I can't take a nap with you today. I promise I'll take a nap with you from now on."
"You're awake?"
"Yes!" He Susu nodded quickly, just as her stomach growled, "Is there anything to eat at home?"
"No."
"Is there any hot water I can drink? I'm starving."
"No."
He Susu was dumbfounded. This little boy was so handsome, even in patched clothes he had the potential to be a heartthrob. Why was he so cold?
"Brother Yutang, could you please?"
"cannot."
After Shen Yutang finished speaking, he ignored everyone, opened the door and went out to wash his face. He Susu, who usually didn't dare to talk to him, was very talkative today. But what could he do? He didn't have any food, so how could he find food for the two sisters?
The little dumpling's lips were trembling as it said, "Sister, scoop some water to drink."
He Susu sighed inwardly. The little dumpling was often beaten and bullied at the He family. When she came to the Shen family, she was often kicked and beaten by Jiang Yu. Once, when the original owner went to the fields with her family, Jiang Yu deliberately walked slowly. After everyone had left, she grabbed the little dumpling and shook her around.
The original owner had a stomachache halfway there, so she turned back to use the outhouse and saw the little dumpling hanging on a bamboo pole with a rope. After that, she took the little dumpling with her wherever she went to avoid being beaten by Jiang Yu.
Later, the original owner asked her about it once, and when the little dumpling mentioned it, she remembered that when Jiang Yu cursed her, she called her a stinky thing and a stinky beggar. For three months in a row, the little dumpling would cry and scream, and her short legs would kick wildly when she slept at night. Later, she could not speak properly.
"Sister, drink." The little dumpling handed over the gourd spoon, her hands trembling.
He Susu took a big gulp of water with the gourd ladle, and the little dumpling took it and drank it all. Half a year ago, the harvest was bad, and the Shen family became poorer and poorer, eating only one meal a day, sometimes only one meal every two days.
Jiang Yu claimed that He Susu was a jinx who had brought misfortune to the Shen family, and openly kicked and beat the two sisters. He Susu wanted to beat her chest in frustration; they were just children! Jiang Yu was such a jerk; she would get her hands on her sooner or later.
The little dumpling squatted on the ground without moving, trying to conserve its energy. He Susu bit her lip a few times and was about to go to her space when she saw Shen Yutang walk in with a bowl in his hand.
"This is what Mother gave us. This is our food for today. You can have it all."
"Thanks."
He Susu took it; it was rice porridge with a dozen or so grains of rice in it. That's what the three little ones eat for a day. Good heavens, it's amazing this family has survived until now; it's truly a blessing from God.
The little dumpling looked up with its dirty little face and swallowed a few times.
