Chapter 137: Sui Sui Feels Very Happy
Chapter 137: Sui Sui Feels Very Happy
Ying Junzhi, being the oldest, naturally understood that if they had not found amusement in Sui Sui's cuteness and played a little longer that day, they might have died in the explosion at the other courtyard.
To them, Sui Sui was a benefactor.
As a benefactor, she was naturally no longer an outsider.
Sui Sui didn't understand how she had suddenly ceased to be an outsider. But now that they were all siblings, it seemed that she truly wasn't an outsider anymore?
With her mind in a muddle, Sui Sui dazedly looked at Ying Junzhi for a long while before finally nodding gently. "Okay."
After her assent, as if realizing something, Sui Sui quickly lifted her head and crisply said, "Thank you, big brother."
Seeing that the child had agreed, Ying Junzhi felt incredibly relieved in both body and mind.
That feeling, how should he describe it?
It was as if he had gone to feed a tanuki he had taken a fancy to, and it shyly accepted his feeding.
Reminded of tanuki, Ying Junzhi lowered his head to look at Sui Sui again and found that the little girl's round eyes indeed bore a resemblance to those of a tanuki.
He wanted to reach out and stroke Sui Sui's chin the way he would a tanuki, but fearing that the little girl might be displeased, he could only reluctantly withdraw his hand.
Ying Zhier, listening by the side, thought to herself: Big brother really has a scheme!
But then, what of it?
As an older brother, it was only natural for him to give gifts and pat her head. How could that be compared to what she did?
Hehe!
Seeing that Ying Junzhi had withdrawn his hand, Ying Zhier stepped forward and hugged Sui Sui. "Sui Sui, you're so soft. I really like you."
Ying Zhier had only intended to give Sui Sui a quick hug and then proudly glance at Ying Junzhi.
But after embracing her, she discovered that although Sui Sui was thin, her body was so soft and pleasant to touch.
Especially her little face, so soft and smooth.
When Ying Zhier rubbed her face against Sui Sui's, she found it so soft and comfortable that she wanted to rub again.
And so she held onto Sui Sui, reluctant to let go.
Ying Junzhi watched his sister's childish actions with a hint of jealousy.
He felt that he had already grown up and couldn't truly be upset with a child.
But...
Why did he feel a twinge of sourness and even a hint of envy?
Sui Sui looked so docile and soft, just begging to be hugged.
Alas!
Ever since Ying Zhier grew up and became sensible, she no longer let him hold her.
It had been a long time since Ying Junzhi had hugged his sister, and he had long forgotten what that felt like.
Now, he had finally found an adorable little sister who was also very well-behaved. As long as he coaxed her a little, perhaps she would let him hold her. But then, Ying Zhier had snatched that opportunity away.
Seeing that Ying Zhier had started hugging, Ying Ningzhi didn't want to lose out either, and he quickly squeezed in, hugging Sui Sui from the other side. "I want to hug too! I want to hug too!"
Being still small, Ying Ningzhi's hug wasn't a problem at all.
Ying Junzhi felt that if he joined in as well, it might be a little inappropriate?
He just didn't know if Sui Sui would need to go somewhere else soon. If the others didn't have the stamina to keep up, he could always carry her, right? Who said that carrying and hugging were any different?
Su Xiangzhi, with his slender build, had been forcefully pushed to the side earlier.
Moreover, after the incident where his third brother apologized, he had been waiting by the side the whole time.
Now, seeing everyone huddled together, he could no longer sit still. "What are you all doing? Count me in too, don't leave me out, are we still brothers or not? Third brother, I even took a punch from Qiao Qiao for you just now, you have to consider me!"
The scene of the four children huddled together also made Liu Hemeng extremely envious, and so she quietly moved in as well, hugging Sui Sui from another side.
The sight of five children huddled together was indeed quite spectacular.
Ying Chengzhi slowly walked over, narrowed his eyes to observe them, and then turned his head to ask Ying Junzhi in confusion, "Big brother, are they playing a game?"
"You may not believe it, but I myself don't know how things ended up like this."
At this moment, when asked by Er Di, Ying Junzhi couldn't help but stammer, "...... Maybe?"
Hearing the response from his older brother, Ying Chengzhi nodded thoughtfully. "Alright, I'll join too."
However, as he spoke, he began to veer off course.
Ying Junzhi quickly reached out to pull him back, "Little Second Brother, little second brother, wrong, wrong, this way!"
Recalled by his older brother, Ying Chengzhi didn't mind at all; he just dumbly said, "Ah," and then turned his head to look, as if confirming something.
After a while, he nodded. "Alright."
Then, he turned and hugged Ying Junzhi.
Ying Junzhi: ?
No, I didn't ask you to hug me, Second Brother!
The brother and sister group you want to hug is right beside you!
Ying Junzhi was speechless and exasperated. But, what could he do when his second brother had poor eyesight?
So, he could only forgive him.
Moreover, it was already nice to have a younger brother who wanted to hug him.
How dare he dream of hugging a sister? Ying Junzhi consoled himself and raised his hand, intending to pat his younger brother affectionately. However, Ying Chengzhi suddenly released him, patted his shoulder perfunctorily, and said, "Alright, big brother, I've hugged you now. I should go hug my younger siblings."
As he spoke, he began to walk away.
However, as expected, he veered off course again.
Ying Junzhi: ...
He felt exhausted and didn't want to say anything more.
But he still had to pull his younger brother back.
After playing for so long, the children's bodies were already warm.
Now, with so many people hugging Sui Sui, she felt even warmer.
Moreover, with so many people hugging her, Sui Sui felt suffocated.
Ying Zhi quickly noticed this and waved everyone away. "Let go, let go, Sui Sui can't breathe!"
Hearing this, everyone quickly let go and carefully examined Sui Sui, only to find the little girl's face flushed red. They asked worriedly, "Sis, how are you feeling?"
"Should we call a doctor?"
"Quick, say something to your third brother."
...
Everyone was concerned about Sui Sui's well-being.
Sui Sui's eyes glistened with tears, and her face was flushed, not because she felt suffocated but because she felt...
Blissful.
Being liked by so many people was something Sui Sui had never dared to dream of before.
In the past, she had only hoped that the village children wouldn't bully her as much.
Or, at the very least, that they would bully her less frequently.
In the past, Sui Sui had spent her days either working or trying to avoid the pranks and ridicule of those children.
Sui Sui was like a resilient weed, tenaciously growing and surviving even in harsh conditions.
Now, she had suddenly been moved into a greenhouse, where she was told that she was actually a delicate flower that many people adored.
The little girl felt overwhelmed and touched.
Hence, her heart felt warm, her nose tickled, and her eyes glistened with tears.
Hearing everyone's concerns, Sui Sui shook her head innocently. "I'm fine."
She just felt happy.
Happy that she finally had people who liked her.
And not just her mother, but also many brothers and sisters.
She no longer had to hide in chicken coops, pigsties, or various nooks and crannies, but could walk in the sunshine and have many playmates.
Sui Sui felt that this was more than enough.
Life was already so wonderful.
