Chapter 51: Fell into the Rice Jar
Gu Tingyun was dressed in a stylish white shirt and overalls. He was fair-skinned and handsome, and his hair was not the buzz cut typical of the boys in the village. You could tell at a glance that he was a kid from the city.
He immediately grabbed the chubby little hand and gently squeezed it. Sure enough, the little turtle's hand was soft and tender.
Helian Jiao didn't care, and just urged softly, "Hurry up and go."
At that moment, all she could think about was the canned beef and that chocolate that tasted even better than White Rabbit candy.
Seeing the two of them walk out of the courtyard hand in hand, Sanni finally came to her senses and quickly called out, "Sweetie, don't go to the foot of the mountain!"
Helian Jiao replied without turning her head, "I know."
After they had walked away, Si Ni whispered to San Ni, "Third Sister, that little brother gave Guai Bao a huge bag of rabbit candies."
When Gu Tingyun and her son came in, she was in her second aunt's room coaxing her little sister to sleep.
"Rabbit candy?"
Sanni was taken aback at first, but then quickly realized, "It's the kind of milk candy that Guaibao ate this morning?"
Sisi nodded emphatically, "Yes!"
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Sanni unconsciously swallowed.
Although she had never eaten that kind of milk candy before, she could smell the sweet milky aroma when her baby ate it in the morning.
So she glanced around and, seeing no one was around, lowered her voice and asked, "Sini, do you want some milk candy?"
Sisi licked her lips and said, "Yes!"
Sanni said, "Then you keep watch outside for me. If anyone comes back, just shout 'Third Sister' loudly."
Sisi nodded obediently, "Mmm."

On the other side, Helian Jiao was as happy as a little mouse that had fallen into a rice jar.
Holding beef jerky in his left hand and munching on it, while using a spoon in his right hand to scoop up canned beef, he puffed out his cheeks like a little hamster.
Gu Tingyun found it intriguing and gently poked it with her finger.
Helian Jiao chewed and glared at him with her big, watery eyes: Don't poke me!
Young Master Gu burst out laughing: "With your eyes wide open, you look even more like a little hamster."
The little princess immediately objected: "You're the little mouse!"
She is an elegant, noble, majestic, and awe-inspiring member of the Golden Dragon Clan!
Gu Tingyun explained, "Hamsters are different from mice; they're very cute."
After saying that, seeing that the little turtle still looked unhappy, she changed the subject and said, "I'll go get you some water."
Instead of using the water cups prepared for guests, he used his own small blue water cup to make a cup of malted milk powder and brought it to her.
Helian Jiao's nose is so sensitive; she stretched out her chubby little hands to catch it.
Gu Tingyun placed the cup far away and said with a serious expression, "No, you can only drink it after it cools down."
When he put on a stern face, he had the air of a wicked dragon, so Helian Jiao silently withdrew her hand and continued to gnaw on the beef jerky, but she didn't enjoy it as much as before.
They look so pitiful for no reason.
Gu Tingyun realized that her tone had been a bit harsh, so she tried to make amends by saying, "Let me blow on it for you, and it will cool down faster."
He was blowing on it while stirring it with a spoon.
Helian Jiao perked up again and asked softly, "What is this?"
Seeing how easily she was coaxed, Gu Tingyun wanted to keep her at home even more so, treating her like a younger sister.
"This is malted milk powder, which contains milk powder and vitamins. It's good for children's health."
Helian Jiao tilted her head. "Malt extract? Never heard of it."
It wasn't in her memory either.
But who cares, as long as it tastes good!
After feeling that the temperature was about right, Gu Tingyun took a sip herself to confirm before handing it over: "Okay, you can drink it now."
Small Theater——
The little princess, forcibly taken to the Demon Palace (glaring fiercely with her adorable eyes): I order you to release me immediately! I am the little princess of the Golden Dragon Clan of the South Sea!!
Demon Lord (casually pinching her small, flower-bud-like dragon horns): Is that so?
The little princess (instinctively sensing the terrifying dragon's might, she bluffs): You—if you dare to damage my dragon horns, my father will surely kill you!
The Demon Lord not only pinched the dragon's horns, but also its tail and poked its belly: "So fat."
The two-hundred-year-old golden dragon cub was powerless to resist the pressure of the five-thousand-year-old demon dragon: "Eek~ When I grow up, I will definitely bite you to death!"
The Demon Lord, having finally had his fill of fun, orders a meal.
The little princess (secretly swallowing her saliva as she looks at the table full of magical delicacies): Can you, a dragon, eat all of this?
Demon Lord (a wicked smile playing on his lips): Want some?
Little princess (without hesitation): Eat!
