The drawing pen suddenly stopped, and Xiaoyouzi noticed that Wen Sitian's breathing paused, as if she had encountered some problem.
Looking up, she happened to see Wen Sitian gripping her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Why aren't you answering the phone?
Xiao Youzi noticed that Wen Sitian was pursing her lips, looking troubled.
Suddenly, Xiaoyouzi got up and walked towards Wen Sitian, who immediately hid her phone.
Swallowing hard, Wen Sitian hurriedly got up: "I, I'll go outside to get it."
With that, she turned and ran out.
Little Yuzu frowned slightly, not intending to pry into other people's affairs, and picked up a tangerine to eat.
Not long after, Wen Sitian sneaked in, her expression undeniably unpleasant.
After she sat down, she put her hands under the cushion, her hair was covered in snowflakes, and her face was red from the cold.
Little Pomelo: "It's snowing."
She poured a glass of hot milk and placed it in front of Xiaoyouzi: "Drink this, it'll warm you up."
"Thanks."
Wen Sitian's expression became even more conflicted.
Her mother's words just now echoed in her mind like a curse, making her head feel buzzing.
Little Yuzu raised an eyebrow, put her hands behind her back, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window next to her.
The curtain rolled, and Xiaoyouzi got a full view of the scenery outside.
"A timely snowfall promises a bumper harvest; the timing is perfect."
Wen Sitian, who was inside, was very curious when Xiao Youzi said that out of the blue, but she didn't dare to ask.
After a moment of feigned seriousness, Xiao Youzi turned around and asked, "Cousin, want some ice cream?"
"ah?"
Wen Sitian was completely stunned.
Eating ice cream in the dead of winter?
"It's so hot inside, what's wrong with eating ice cream?" Little Yuzu ran to Wen Sitian's side, flashing a cute smile: "Want some?"
Wen Sitian shook her head: "I'm a little cold."
Her hands and feet were freezing because she had been outside for too long.
"So, if it gets cold for too long, it will lose its sensation?" Little Yuzu looked at Wen Sitian with a smile.
Wen Sitian was slightly taken aback. "Wh-what do you mean?"
"nothing."
Xiao Youzi picked up the kettle again and poured Wen Sitian a glass of milk: "Hot milk, it's delicious. You don't need to stay in a cold place for too long."
"Thanks."
Holding a cup of hot milk.
A warm current flowed from her fingertips to her limbs, giving Wen Sitian a sensation of warmth coursing through her cold heart.
Little Yuzi turned her head to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
She's given such a clear hint; let's see what she chooses.
Time flies, and it's already 10 p.m.
Luo Chen and Luo Li then came downstairs.
The two sat down on either side of the small pomelo and started eating the fruit.
Little Yuzu turned to look at Luo Chen: "Brother, have you finished dealing with things?"
"I'll focus on spending a few days with you." Luo Chen pinched Xiao Youzi's soft cheek. "Are you happy?"
"happy!"
Little Yuzi nodded and placed the fruit in front of Luo Chen: "Big brother, have some."
"Feed me." Luo Chen smiled slightly, looking at the little pomelo.
Luo Li, standing nearby, rolled her eyes and said with a hint of displeasure, "Don't you have hands?! You need Little Yuzu to feed you."
Pulling on Xiaoyouzi's arm, Luo Li said, "Xiaoyouzi, I'm your fifth brother who dotes on you the most, feed me."
It's quite surprising that two grown men would argue over who should feed the little pomelo.
Wen Sitian tried her best to minimize her presence by remaining silent.
Little Yuzi sighed and picked up a cherry in each hand: "Big brother, eat this, and fifth brother, eat this too."
She sat in the middle, her eyes fixed on the Spring Festival Gala screen, carrying cherries in both hands.
Luo Chen looked down and called out to Cherry, chuckling softly, "Mmm, sweet."
Everything my sister feeds me is sweet!
It would be best if those three good-for-nothings didn't come back, then no one would be competing with me for them.
The other three brothers, Luo: Thank you.
Over there, Luo Li finished eating the cherries and tossed the little stick from Xiao Youzi's hand: "Did Youzi watch the Spring Festival Gala properly down there?"
"No, I drew."
Little Yuzi took out her tablet and showed her drawing to the two of them: "Look, this is what I drew."
The scene depicts a room with chibi-style drawings of Xiaoyouzi, Luochen, Luoting, and Luoli standing inside; the other spaces are empty.
Little Yuzu explained, "I haven't met my mom and dad, or my second and fourth older brothers yet."
Since I've never met the person and don't know their characteristics, I can only leave the position empty.
She will complete the painting someday.
"We'll meet again." Luo Chen patted Xiao Youzi's head.
Watching Xiaoyouzi being pampered by her two older brothers, Wen Sitian felt a chill in her heart as she thought of her own brother.
Why is it that my brother is so terrible, even though we're both brothers?
What should she do?
The two brothers watched the Spring Festival Gala with their daughter, Xiaoyouzi.
Finally, a crowd gathered in front of the television.
Host 1: "The clock is about to strike midnight, let us..."
Host 2 glanced at his watch and said, "There are fifteen seconds left."
Let's count down together: ten, nine, eight... three, two, one! Happy New Year!
"Bang!"
The sound of fireworks rang out both inside and outside the screen.
Little Yuzu immediately shouted, "Happy New Year! Happy Spring Festival!"
She glanced at Luo Chen, then at Luo Li, and finally at Wen Sitian across from her, her face full of smiles.
Wen Sitian smiled gently, her gaze towards Xiaoyouzi filled with a complex yet joyful expression.
Little Yuzu was very happy at this moment.
This is the first Spring Festival I've spent with my family!
Even though only my older brother and fifth brother are with me now, I'm still super happy!
