Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of the month. On Shen Tianci’s birthday, Xiaoxiao treated this as an ordinary excursion. She also packed snacks and barbecued ingredients according to the school’s spring excursion standards in her memory. Everything else was simple.
Ning Dalang helplessly pulled her to comb her hair again. Madam Song also took out the new clothes that she had prepared for her. After the two of them worked together, Xiaoxiao cried out and circled the courtyard. “Brother’s hands are so good! Mother, when did you make me new clothes? They’re so beautiful!”
Ning Dalang and Madam Song were also very happy that their hard work had been praised and approved. The two of them pulled the bouncing Xiaoxiao and put the coral bracelets on her left and right.
The hairstyle that Ning Dalang had tied for her today was a little different from before. There were a few strands of hair braided beside her cheeks. Two small braids hung down, and the rest were tied back into her bun. Now, the braids and coral beads hanging from her bun complemented each other, making her look even more likable.
After Ning Dalang sorted out her image, he was stunned himself. Xiaoxiao giggled and teased, “Are you amazed by your sister’s beauty?”
Big Brother did not refute and even Mother nodded. Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed that they were doing this. She looked at the basin for a while and felt that it was inappropriate, so she pestered Mother to cut her bangs.
Her obedient bangs covered her full forehead, making her look more like a little girl. At the same time, it also covered her beauty when she first saw her. Xiaoxiao was very satisfied, but Madam Song felt that it was a pity. Ning Dalang’s expression was complicated, but he still went forward to trim her bangs.
Moreover, even if he was selfish, he did not want others to see Xiaoxiao’s appearance just now.
Rong Yan had sent the kite over before he left. Xiaoxiao thought that it would be difficult to pack it after opening it, so she simply brought it along. After taking the freshly baked sponge cake, the siblings prepared to set off.
Just as she reached the village entrance, she saw Shen Tianci, who was yawning, walk out of a familiar carriage. “What smells so good?”
Xiaoxiao laughed and handed over the bamboo basket. “Your nose is really sharp. Happy birthday. This is one of the gifts for you!”
Hearing her words, Shen Tianci was no longer sleepy. He took the bamboo basket and exclaimed repeatedly.
The basket was specially made with Ning Fengnian’s help. It was divided into two layers, and each layer was specially equipped with a small bamboo plate to hold the sponge cake.
She used a custom-made mold from the blacksmith’s shop to bake it, so every finished product looked like a blooming flower. Shen Tianci almost could not bear to eat them.
Of course, it was just “almost”. There was no reluctance in front of a foodie. He ate five to six in a row and only stopped when his stomach, which was already full of breakfast, was full. Then, he began to cry out.
“Aiyo, I can’t eat anymore!”
Xiaoxiao knew that he had specially come to pick them up because it was inconvenient for them to travel. Seeing that he was still insisting, she hurriedly took the basket away. “What’s the hurry? If you like it, I’ll make it for you next time.”
Shen Tianci finally felt at ease after hearing this. He licked his lips and touched his stomach, which could no longer hold the food. He calmed down.
He went out early and did not sleep well. At this moment, the carriage swayed and he could not help but close his eyes. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Xiaoxiao and Ning Erlang also yawned. Seeing that the two of them were very sleepy, Ning Dalang pressed one hand on her shoulder helplessly. “Go to sleep.”
Xiaoxiao leaned against him impolitely. Before she closed her eyes, she muttered, “We’ll buy a cart later too.”
When she woke up, she had already arrived at her destination. Ning Dalang tidied up his sister and got out of the carriage to help her. Ning Erlang and Shen Tianci had already jumped down and walked towards the courtyard in front.
The garden belonged to the Shen Family and there were already several carriages parked at the entrance. Shen Tianci had rushed in and disappeared. It was obvious that he had already gone to have fun. The concierge did not stop Xiaoxiao and the rest when he saw them alighting from the Shen Family’s carriage. However, Miss He, who alighted from another carriage, looked unhappy.
“Who is that girl? Why did she get out of Cousin Tianci’s carriage?”
