The little beggars in the dilapidated temple were all picked up by Shen Chaomu. Some were abandoned by their parents, and some were orphans who would be robbed even if they asked for money.
They liked Chen Chaomu and always called her Sister Mu affectionately. They ate pastries and spoke childish words with their little mouths.
With them around, Shen Chaomu and Zhang Xiuyuan let go of the slight awkwardness and shyness they had when interacting with each other.
While she was talking to them, she broke the cake and fed it to the little Grape who was sitting quietly beside her with a small branch.
Although Little Grape is thin, its facial features are very pretty, especially its big eyes, which are clear and transparent, and really look like a grape.
She was very well-behaved. When her sister fed her some cakes, she would open her mouth and eat obediently without saying a word or making a fuss.
Zhang Xiuyuan was actually somewhat curious about them, but he didn't ask, fearing it would touch their hearts. No child would get sick for no reason, and no child would willingly wander around and beg.
Shen Chaomu wanted to talk to Zhang Xiuyuan, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only utter a few words.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard the sound of wheels turning outside.
"It should be Qing'er and the others who are back." Zhang Xiuyuan stood up.
Shen Chaomu was worried about Shen Ci. Hearing what he said, he walked out faster than Zhang Xiuyuan, his steps were very urgent.
The carriage stopped and Qing'er came out first, followed by Chengzi, and then Shen Ci.
"Aci, how are you?" Shen Chaomu quickly came to Shen Ci and checked his condition.
After Shen Ci took some medicine and did some physical cooling, the temperature of his body dropped a little and he woke up, but he was not completely recovered.
His face was still a little red, but it was much better than lying there half dead.
"Sister Mu, I'm fine, thanks to this big brother."
Shen Chaomu thanked Qing'er.
Qing'er waved her hands quickly: "Don't thank me, this is what I should do."
Shen Chaomu looked at him doubtfully. What should be done? She didn't quite understand what this meant.
Qing'er realized what she had said belatedly, but did not continue.
Zhang Xiuyuan, however, was observant and noticed immediately that Qing'er was not in the right mood. Her eyes seemed a little swollen, as if she had been crying. He was puzzled, but did not rush to ask.
After returning to the dilapidated temple, Qing'er found a reason to call Chen Chaomu out.
"Your name is Chen Chaomu?" Qing'er asked.
Shen Chaomu nodded.
Qing'er bit her lip and hesitated for a while, then said, "I, I want to ask you about Shen Ci. Can you tell me when you met him and how he has been doing over the years?"
Shen Chaomu did not answer immediately, but looked at Qing'er. If Qing'er had not come with Zhang Xiuyuan, Shen Chaomu would probably be on guard at this time.
She said, "Can I ask first, why do you want to know about Ah Ci's affairs?"
Qing'er looked in the direction of the ruined temple, and when she saw that Shen Ci had not come out, she mustered up the courage to say, "Because Shen Ci is my biological brother."
Shen Chaomu's pupils shrank.
She stared at Qing'er again. No wonder she felt familiar with the person in front of her just now. Now it seemed that it was because his facial features were very similar to Shen Ci's. The two of them had beautiful looks, at least five or six points similar. As long as she was reminded quietly, she would connect the two.
Although Shen Chaomu was surprised, he did not doubt him, because people's eyes could not be faked.
