Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Instantly, Qi Sheng seemed to have been struck dumb. He held back the cry that hadn’t even left his mouth.
Ji Wanwan saw that Qi Sheng’s eyes were filled with tears. He clenched his little fists and gritted his teeth. His face was red from holding it in. She frowned in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong with you? If you want to cry, just cry. Who are you competing with?”
“What happened? Didn’t you fall on your butt? Why is your face red?” Su Qian leaned over and looked at Qi Sheng in confusion.
Qi Sheng’s vision was blurred by the tears in his eyes. He couldn’t see Su Qian clearly, but he could hear her voice. Therefore, he tried even harder to hold back his tears and not cry.
“I don’t know what happened either. Speaking of which, it was strange. This child was usually very sensitive. If it was any other time, he would have long cried and wailed. I don’t know what was wrong with him today,” Ji Wanwan said as she tilted her head in confusion.
“Oh? So Xiao Sheng is actually a crybaby?” Su Qian couldn’t help but laugh.
“I, I’m not a crybaby!” Qi Sheng raised his hand to wipe away his tears and stood up while holding back his sobs. He patted the soil on his body and looked at Su Qian seriously as he said, “I’m already eight years old. I’m a man now. A man won’t cry so easily!”
“Have you changed your personality today?” Ji Wanwan raised her hand to touch her snow-white chin and sized up Qi Sheng. “Something’s not right. You must be hiding something from me.”
“I didn’t,” Qi Sheng said as he stole glances at Su Qian.
He had tried so hard not to hold back his tears just now. Sister Su Qian should think that he was very impressive, right?
Just thinking of this, Qi Sheng could not help but be overjoyed.
“Sister Su Qian, this is a spiritual stone that 1 accidentally obtained previously. I want to give it to you.” After saying that, Qi Sheng took out a snow-white stone that was glowing with seven-colored light and carefully placed it in Su Qian’s hand.
This spiritual stone was only the size of a palm, but it felt warm to the touch as if it was alive. Su Qian couldn’t help but be surprised. “It’s warm?”
“This is a Warm Spirit Stone. It can automatically generate heat. The colder the surrounding environment is, the higher its temperature will be. It can be used to warm your hands in winter.” Qi Sheng raised his head shyly and looked at Su Qian expectantly, “Do you like it?”
“I like it very much. Thank you.” Su Qian smiled and patted Qi Sheng’s head. She then smiled at Ji Wanwan and said, “We’re going to Fragrant Pavilion for dinner. Why don’t we go together?”
“Alright. Let’s go together.” Ji Wanwan immediately agreed. Then, the group of people decided not to take the carriage and walked forward while chatting and laughing.
Meanwhile, Qi Sheng saw his cousin sister leave with Su Qian and hurriedly chased after her.
However, as soon as Qi Sheng took a step forward, two small figures blocked his path.
Su Ye sized up Qi Sheng. He felt that the way this kid was chasing after their Mother made him uncomfortable. “The adults will go together, and the children will go together. You should come with us.”
Qi Sheng looked at Su Qian reluctantly and finally agreed. “Alright, I’m Qi Sheng, what about you guys?”
“I’m Su Ye. This is my sister, Su Qingqing.” Su Ye continued to seriously size up Qi Sheng as he spoke.
Su Qingqing was even more straightforward.. She looked at Qi Sheng and asked in confusion, “Brother Qi Sheng, why do you keep peeking at my Mother?”
