The next day.
The morning light fell on the windowpane, cicadas chirped softly on the green bamboo, and the gentle murmur of flowing water could be heard in the courtyard.
The little Helian, wrapped in a small blanket, sat up crookedly from the bed.
With her chubby little hands, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, and the scene before her gradually became clearer.
The bed curtains, how come they look so different now?
Sisi glanced again at the bed, then at the quilt still hanging on her, and at her second brother's robes beside the bed, by the Daming Lake.
Helian Mou Sisi's entire little head was a complete mess, utterly blank.
Where is Sisi? Was Sisi sold? How much gold did she get for it?
It has to be said that the little girl's thought process is so unique; she even has time to care about how much gold she was sold for.
Helian Si sat blankly on the bed, his heart sinking into a deep chill, feeling utterly miserable.
Sisi, Sisi is indeed a little cabbage that no one loves, sob sob!
Helian Si sniffed and wrinkled his little face, about to call out to Fulian, but just as he opened his mouth, the bed curtains were pulled open from the outside.
First, you see a pair of fair and slender hands; then, you see Nan Rong Jinghua's captivating face; and then, you hear her gentle, melodious voice.
"Sisi, are you awake?"
He had set up a protective barrier inside the house, so if the little girl made even the slightest movement, he could arrive immediately.
Looking at the little girl's bewildered and confused expression, Nan Rong Jinghua's gentle heart softened as well.
Helian blinked repeatedly, wondering if he was dreaming. Was this a visual feast so early in the morning?
Oh no, no, so I was sold to the Master?
Yes, that's right, it was Father who sold himself to the Master!
Suddenly, Helian Mousisi remembered that last night her father had abandoned her and wanted her older brother to give her to the tutor.
She was still nestled in her second brother's arms, crying and sobbing, and then she fell asleep. And then, and then she was sold.
"What's wrong? Are you still sleepy? Then sleep a little longer. The Imperial Academy is closed today, so it's fine."
Seeing the little girl's bewildered expression, Nan Rong Jinghua reached out and gently rubbed her fluffy little head, smiling warmly with concern.
"Master, will Sisi be your little darling from now on?"
"Oh no, no, Second Brother promised Sisi that he would come to pick her up."
The little girl's head has finally cleared up a bit. Her second brother will come to pick her up; he promised her!
So for now, I'll just be the Master's little cutie!
As for the little one... hmph, he's angry, the kind you can't appease, unless he lets you get away with it, hehe~
Now, with a quick squint of her little eyes, Sisi's little body leaped into Nanrong Jinghua's arms, her sweet, soft voice ringing out.
"Master, Master, from now on, Sisi will be your little darling~"
The Master's embrace smells so good~ Mmm.
The little figure that unexpectedly pounced into his arms startled Nan Rong Jinghua for a moment, followed by...
All that remained was the flutter in his heart. Looking at the little girl who kept snuggling into his arms, a smile played on his lips.
"Yes, Sisi will be the Master's little darling from now on."
The lotus flower, which had appeared out of nowhere, was rubbing its sleepy eyes when this was the scene it saw.
Right now, there are three big, golden question marks above my head. What's going on?
