Chapter 19
Ye Anning pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I'll have to trouble sister Liu Man."
Liu Man felt that these kids were a bit too cute. She moved aside to let Ye Anning walk into the house before following her back.
After taking two steps towards the dining room, she called out, "Ah Yan, Anning is here to play with you!"
After her shout, there was a moment of silence. Not long after, Sui Yan came running out barefoot, going "pit pat."
"Sister!" The little girl smiled with eyes bent like crescents, reaching out her little hands wanting Ye Anning to carry her.
Ye Anning squatted down and squeezed the soft cheeks of the kid in front of her. "Why is Yan so happy today?"
Sui Yan giggled, "Sister, mom said Yan can go to school now!"
Ye Anning was startled, somewhat relieved as well. She smiled as she picked up the little girl, "I see. Then Yan can't run around barefoot anymore."
Sui Yan swung her little legs. "I know, sister!"
The little girl was extremely well-behaved. Liu Hua walked out slowly after two steps. "Anning, have you eaten dinner? Do you want to eat a little more?"
Ye Anning smiled lightly. "No need, thanks auntie."
Liu Hua waved her hands. "Don't be so polite. Just treat this place like your own home."
She then looked at the little girl in Ye Anning's arms, "Yan, your sister is tired from carrying you!"
Sui Yan reluctantly slid down from Ye Anning's embrace. "Okay!"
Ye Anning didn't say anything, just kept smiling at Sui Yan.
Liu Hua looked at them for a few more moments before walking back to eat. She glanced at her few sons, "You three, take your sisters out for a walk after eating."
Sui Yu nodded. "Okay."
So after eating, Sui Yu and his two brothers were chased out by Liu Hua. Her reason was that they had to take their sister out for a walk to aid her digestion after the meal.
Sui Yu helplessly shook his head after taking another look at the closed door.
It was rare for Sui Yan to be able to go out for a walk. She was exceptionally happy. Holding Ye Anning's hand in one hand and going "pit pat" with her little feet, she ran forward a few steps. Then she would turn back to see if the people behind had caught up.
The little girl shouted loudly, "Brothers, walk faster!"
Sui Zhi and Qiao Ze quickened their pace to catch up. "Yan, don't shout so loudly. It will disturb the neighbors."
The little girl seemed to realize her mistake. She smiled awkwardly, "Sorry."
Ye Anning pinched Sui Yan's cheek, "It's okay. There aren't many people living nearby now. But Yan can't do this anymore after some time, understand?"
Sui Yan nodded obediently. "I understand, sister."
Sui Zhi walked to stand in front of her and squatted down. "Does Yan want brother to carry you?"
Sui Yan shook his hand. "Brother, I can walk by myself."
Sui Zhi smiled helplessly. "Alright, Yan will walk by herself then."
Sui Yu also walked over unhurriedly. "Let's go. We'll circle around twice then go back."
Sui Yan squatted down to carry up Ti Zi. "Then let's go!"
Seeing that Ti Zi wasn't too heavy, Qiao Ze didn't stop Sui Yan. The five kids with one puppy slowly made their way on the street.
Not long after walking, Ye Anning suddenly asked Sui Yan, "Yan, do you want Nian Nian to move and become our neighbor?"
Sui Yan blinked. "Sister, can Nian Nian also move to live beside us?"
Ye Anning thought for a moment, "I guess so?"
Sui Yan hugged Ti Zi and rubbed against him. "I want Nian Nian to come play with us...and brother Linhan too."
Sui Yu couldn't help laughing. "I thought you had forgotten about Qi Linhan already."
The little girl was stunned for a second before reacting. She puffed up her cheeks, grunting, "Yan did not!"
Sui Zhi felt sour. "What's good about Qi Linhan? Why does Yan like him so much?"
Sui Yan pouted. "Brother cannot say bad things about others!"
Qiao Ze was also feeling sour. "Is this considered saying bad things?"
Ye Anning was so sour that she pinched the little girl's fair and tender cheek. "Stinky kid!"
Sui Yan had her hands full carrying Ti Zi and couldn't dodge at all. She was furious. "Brothers and sisters, you are all so childish!"
The brothers and sister: "..." Got called childish by a kid who hadn't even entered kindergarten?
Ti Zi's eyes darted around as he gave a soft whimper twice.
What a bunch of childish brats!
Sui Yu and Ye Anning subconsciously glanced at Ti Zi. They were surprised to realize Ti Zi no longer seemed to be so hostile towards them.
However, this was good news to them and they did not dwell on it further.
Sui Yan did not have as many thoughts as them. The little girl hugged the puppy, grunting as she walked ahead on her own.
Her little short legs moved slowly. With just three to two steps, Sui Yu and the two brothers easily caught up.
Sui Zhi glanced upwards. "I wonder who's the childish one."
Sui Yan puffed out her moist, red lips. "Brother, if you keep saying that, I'll make Ti Zi bite you!"
Sui Zhi directly carried her up. "Naughty kid, learned nothing good!"
Ye Anning suddenly moved closer, saying, "Yan, your brother Linhan hasn't come to play with you for many days already. Why do you still like him so much?"
Sui Yan remained stubborn. "Brother Linhan said something came up at home these days and he hasn't been home."
Sui Yu indifferently said, "He lied to you. He just doesn't want to play with you."
Sui Yan ignored them and struggled for a bit before lying limp in Sui Zhi's embrace, pretending to be dead.
Ye Anning smiled as she watched for a long time. She suddenly noticed Qiao Ze walking alone behind them and went over to speak with him softly, "What are your plans with Nian Nian in the future?"
Qiao Ze was thinking about something when he was suddenly interrupted. He was stunned for a few seconds before answering, "What plans?"
Ye Anning's gaze turned cold. "Don't let your matters affect Yan anymore. Some things should be seen clearer now."
Qiao Ze subconsciously glanced at the little girl slumped in Sui Zhi's arms. He sighed softly, "Don't worry. I understand."
As if just recalling something, he fell silent briefly before speaking again, "Also, isn't it too early to talk about all these now?"
Ye Anning was stunned. She then reacted sharply that they were currently kids and not their actual aged selves!
Her entire face was black. "I didn't react to that."
Qiao Ze just laughed without saying anything more.
Sui Yan had fallen asleep midway through being carried by Sui Zhi. So Sui Yu and Qiao Ze took turns carrying the little girl as they slowly made their way back.
Early next morning, not long after Sui Yu and his two brothers had woken up, they saw Sui Yan's room with its door wide open.
Sui Yu walked over with knitted brows and saw the little girl standing on her bed, trying with much difficulty to dress herself.
He was rather bewildered. "Yan, why did you wake up so early today?" As he spoke, he went forward to help the little sister wear her clothes properly.
After tugging her clothes into place, Sui Yan looked very happy.
"Brother, Yan can go to school now!"
Sui Yu paused before smiling helplessly. "So Yan woke up so early because you wanted to go to school?"
The little girl nodded matter-of-factly. "Yes!"
