Chapter 24: Overflowing Confidence
Chapter 24: Overflowing Confidence
Making a kite sounded difficult.
However, the two children were not aware of this.
With overflowing confidence, they asserted: "We can do it!"
And so, they began their three-day endeavor.
During these three days, Prince Qing only made a brief appearance, rushing back to check on the children. Seeing them busy and safe, he left with a relieved mind.
As for Su Su and Feng Xuanrui...
Their initial burst of confidence gradually diminished as they faced setbacks. While shaping the bamboo strips, they wailed: "Making a kite is not easy at all!"
"Brother, I broke my hand again!"
"Sister, wah... I'm bleeding!"
...
On the first day of kite-making, the two children were brimming with confidence.
On the second day, their smiles faded as their hands were marked with numerous cuts from the bamboo strips.
By the third day, the two youngsters couldn't even manage to create a basic framework, and they sat there, wailing in despair.
Qing Shan and Qing Shui had their hands full, not only splitting bamboo but also comforting the distraught children.
The good news was that Feng Xuanrui's fever had subsided and didn't relapse.
Moreover, judging by his robust crying, his health seemed to be largely restored.
However, the bad news was...
The entire post station resounded with either the children's wails or the brothers' attempts to soothe them.
Of course, the loud cries belonged to Feng Xuanrui.
Su Su rarely made a sound when she cried.
But sometimes, her silent tears tugged at the heartstrings even more.
Over these three days, Liu Dafu lost his temper countless times.
He often practiced his sword late into the night.
This frightened Di Jiao and Di Yu so much that they tiptoed around and barely dared to speak.
On the fourth day, the weather was clear, and a gentle spring breeze blew.
After waking up early, Su Su took the initiative to wash her face and brush her teeth.
When using the green salt to clean her teeth, she was extremely careful, using as little salt as possible for fear of being scolded.
The system in her consciousness watched with a heartache.
Then, it started checking the host god's mailbox again.
It suspected that the baby-rocking system was malfunctioning.
They hadn't drawn a lullaby specialist in three days!
Was it reasonable to have three consecutive days off?
The system strongly suspected that the host god was conspiring against them!
Su Su was unaware of these concerns.
Although she didn't have bedtime stories these past three days, she was happy! Because she had her brother by her side.
After freshening up and changing her clothes, Su Su ran off to find Feng Xuanrui.
At that moment, Feng Xuanrui was being lazy in bed.
Qing Shui had tried his best to persuade him, to no avail.
"No way, I'm too tired to move."
"Qing Shui, stop trying."
"Go away. If I don't want to get up, don't bother me."
...
Qing Shui was about to give up when he turned and noticed Su Su peeking through the door at them.
Seeing that Qing Shui had spotted her, Su Su pressed her lips together and whispered, "Is Brother awake?"
Qing Shui felt like he had found a savior and wanted to kneel down to Su Su in gratitude.
He smiled at her and then turned to nudge their young master: "Young Master, the young lady is here."
Because of Feng Xuanrui's attitude toward Su Su, the servants in the post station addressed her as "Young Lady."
Feng Xuanrui had intended to change his sleeping position, but upon hearing that his sister had arrived, he quickly scrambled out of bed. "Where is she? Where is she?"
The young boy had slept sprawled out, and now his inner robe's straps had come loose, revealing his fair and slightly fleshy chest.
Feng Xuanrui had been about to get out of bed in a daze, but when he looked down and saw his state of undress, he let out a startled yelp. Then, like a wronged little wife, he quickly adjusted his clothing.
After fixing his clothes, he anxiously raised his head to look toward the door.
Su Su was startled by Feng Xuanrui's sudden scream and rushed in, thinking that something had happened to her brother.
When Feng Xuanrui looked up, Su Su was already standing right in front of him.
The medicine had just been applied to her little head, giving off a faint yellowish hue that dazzled Feng Xuanrui for a moment, instantly sobering him up.
The young boy, rarely feeling shy, subconsciously burrowed into the blanket, scratching his messy hair, and letting out a playful laugh. "Good morning, sister."
Su Su, relieved to see that her brother was alright, obediently replied, "Good morning, brother."
With Su Su's arrival, Feng Xuanrui couldn't laze around in bed any longer.
Su Su had been on a bland diet due to her food accumulation issue.
Feng Xuanrui, on the other hand, had been sick and could only stomach plain porridge.
Now that both children were on the mend, their diet could be adjusted slightly.
For instance, today's breakfast was a meat congee with vegetarian buns and a side of pickles.
The meat had been minced and cooked until tender, while the porridge was boiled to a soft, flowery consistency.
With a hint of salt for seasoning, the combination of the two created a delicious and mouthwatering dish.
Not only did it smell wonderful, but it also tasted even better.
In all her life, Su Su had never eaten meat.
At least, not that she could remember.
So, as she looked at the minced meat in the congee, she felt a bit apprehensive.
She wasn't sure if she could eat it and could only turn her head slightly to glance at Feng Xuanrui with caution.
Feng Xuanrui had been drinking plain porridge for days, and his taste buds were crying out for something more flavorful.
Now, seeing the meat congee, his eyes lit up. "Not bad, not bad. This congee looks good."
Sensing Su Su's gaze, Feng Xuanrui turned his head and asked in confusion, "Sister, what's wrong? Is the congee too hot? Don't worry, brother will blow on it for you."
As he spoke, Feng Xuanrui took Su Su's bowl of congee and began stirring it with a spoon while gently blowing on it to cool it down.
After blowing on it a few times, he noticed that Su Su was still looking at him, and he furrowed his brows in confusion.
He pondered for a moment, his clever (......) little mind working away, and then he snapped his fingers. "Sister, do you want brother to feed you?"
At this thought, Feng Xuanrui's eyes sparkled with excitement.
He had never had the chance to feed his sister before, and he was eagerly looking forward to it.
Su Su, after being asked twice, slowly realized that she was allowed to eat this meat congee. However, she still didn't dare to be sure, so she asked softly, "Brother, can... can I really eat this?"
Hearing Su Su's question, Feng Xuanrui instinctively replied, "Why not?"
But as soon as he finished speaking and saw the uncertainty on Su Su's face, he finally understood.
Those damn Chen family members! They should be sent to the southwest to quarry stones!
After cursing them in his mind, Feng Xuanrui's expression softened, and he smiled gently. "You are my sister, Su Su. Of course, you can eat it!"
After saying this, Feng Xuanrui scooped a spoonful of congee and brought it to Su Su's mouth. "Come on, open wide, Su Su. Brother will feed you."
Feng Xuanrui's actions were a mix of awkwardness and tenderness.
Su Su had just received her brother's acknowledgment, and her heart was already touched.
Now, seeing his actions, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She obediently leaned forward and opened her mouth, accepting the spoonful of congee.
Su Su sat there quietly, waiting to be fed, resembling a soft and adorable kitten.
Feng Xuanrui, witnessing this up close, felt his heart melt with warmth.
The young boy couldn't help but scream internally with joy.
Ahhh, my sister is so adorable! If it were that stinky little brother, Feng Xuanrui imagined that he would get a face full of urine for trying to feed him!
