AWB Chapter 171 Silly child, call me Great-Grandma
Chapter 171 Silly child, call me Great-Grandma
This was the most precious morning Lin Sui had ever had.
Yu Cinian helped me put on my coat and shoes, Lu Xiang helped me comb my hair, and Tang Xi helped me squeeze the toothpaste...
If she hadn't firmly refused, Tangxi would have helped her brush her teeth and was really looking forward to it.
Li Ye prepared the meal and brought it to her side, and Si Xingran also attentively massaged her back and shoulders while she ate.
Tan Huizhen was filled with envy: "Oh my, how did you raise this child? He's so filial!"
She clearly believed in the mother-son relationship between Lin Sui and Si Xingran.
After all, she's a master, so she must have some secret techniques that she doesn't share with outsiders, which keep her looking young at all times.
The fact that she was also a mother made her feel close to Lin Sui, whom she had previously been indifferent to.
Then she glanced at Li Ye and the others: "These must be your nephews and nieces, right? Look at them, they're all good-looking and they treat you with great respect. You're really lucky."
Lin Sui, who was overjoyed to have a son and then a nephew and niece: "Pfft...cough cough..."
Si Xingran also chuckled loudly.
Yu Cinian gave him a cool glance, then readily handed Lin Sui a glass of water: "Little Aunt, have some tea."
Lin Sui: “…”
She smiled and took the cup: "Silly child, call me Great-Grandma."
Yu Cinian: "..."
Now it was Lu Xiang's turn to laugh loudly.
Breakfast was yam, lotus seed, and millet porridge. The water Yu Cinian handed over had a color, and Lin Sui knew it was salvia miltiorrhiza and jujube tea as soon as she tasted it.
A thought struck her, and she couldn't help but lower her eyes and smile.
Old Xu had great confidence in his medicine, so he never specifically asked her to take supplements from food.
But these villains clearly care a lot.
Seeing her expression, Si Xingran hurriedly took credit: "I dug up the yams, and my hands are still itching!"
"Tea...I'll make it!" Tang Xi seemed surprised that he would be so shameless, and she paused for a moment before quickly following up.
Lu Xiang retorted, "I had someone buy the items."
Yu Cinian smiled slightly: "The recipe is mine."
Li Ye... Li Ye goes without saying, Lin Sui understands, he cooked the porridge.
After they finished speaking, the group stared at her expectantly, their meaning clear: they wanted a small gift.
Lin Sui stopped keeping them in suspense. After feeding them, she kept her word and personally handed them the gift boxes one by one. Then, without even looking at them, she took her clothes and went into the communal bathroom in the living room.
Well, she's just a clean person, not someone who's embarrassed.
This is not the first time Lin Sui has given gifts to someone.
Qi Yan, Lao Mo, and her master whom she only saw once every year or two, all received birthday and New Year's gifts from her.
Such a gift, which wasn't a birthday, a holiday, or any other special occasion, was given with such great fanfare, and even caused a misunderstanding that almost prevented it from being given away...
But it really was the first time.
"Meow~"
A cat's meow suddenly rang out.
Lin Sui turned her head and saw the black cat from last night jump in through the window, meowing and rubbing against her legs. Then it took small steps to the corner of the bathtub and sat there without moving.
A pair of emerald eyes stared at her without blinking.
Lin Sui looked at the cat, then at the bathtub.
She stepped forward as if sensing something, and brushed her palm against the outside of the bathtub.
However... the golden-red patterns she expected did not appear.
This appears to be just an ordinary bathtub.
Lin Sui frowned and asked, looking down, "Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
"Meow! Meow!" the black cat cried out anxiously.
It leaped lightly into the bathtub, tilted its round cat face up, and meowed incessantly at Lin Sui, as if to say: This is it, that's right!
Is it just a smokescreen?
Lin Sui pursed her lips, then simply closed her eyes, bit her fingertip, and quickly drew a spell on the bathtub: "Break!"
She then checked the bathtub again, but it remained unresponsive.
Lin Sui remained silent for a long while, then scoffed.
It seems the other party put a lot of effort into this.
He hid photos again, and somehow concealed the magic array, all to prevent her from continuing to disrupt the ghost-raising array he had meticulously set up.
They even tried to distract her by talking about Lu Xiang.
Perhaps we should also add Li Ye.
They really went to great lengths.
However, after trying to force Fang Jiayi to break through ahead of time so he could kill her, and then expending a lot of his cultivation to forcibly accelerate Mr. Bi's growth, does he really still have the energy to do these things?
I'm afraid we'll have to rely on someone else.
Meanwhile, the villains, having finally received their gifts, looked at each other, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Especially Tangxi.
This was the first gift she had ever received.
Her birth was neither expected nor accepted.
Whether it's family, relatives, or those fleeting passersby who have come and gone in her life over the years.
She often doubted herself, wondering if she didn't even exist.
Therefore, no one saw her, and no one was willing to accept her.
She sometimes thought that perhaps she was just a lost soul.
She was just a little more flesh and blood than a ghost, and just as lonely, she wandered in this world that did not belong to her.
She was neither a ghost nor a human.
She couldn't find a place to belong.
Until she met Lin Sui.
I met everyone.
Tangxi hugged the gift box tightly, and after a long while, she opened the package with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.
Not wanting to damage even a little bit, she moved very carefully, and it took her quite a while just to peel off the outermost layer of black and gold-flecked wrapping paper.
Finally, she opened the last layer of packaging.
A golden, openwork phoenix mask reveals its true form.
The mask is thin, yet every line is meticulously crafted, a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
The delicate wings are so lifelike, as if they could take flight at any moment.
Tangxi was instantly captivated, completely mesmerized, and even subconsciously held her breath, as if afraid of disturbing it and letting it really fly away.
"Holy crap, this is gold!" Si Xingran's eyes widened. "Master Lin is so poor, how could he be so generous to you?"
That's such a discriminatory treatment!
Why does he only deserve to be a dung beetle that's bought for 9.9 yuan with a buy-one-get-one-free offer?
Tang Xi ignored Si Xingran's broken defenses and her gaze was drawn to a card under the mask.
She carefully pulled out the card.
The card had a few lines of flowing handwriting on it.
—You are a unique phoenix, born to soar through the sky.
It's not that they can't see you, but that those who don't understand you don't deserve to see you.
and so……
Don't struggle to get up before dawn to put on makeup anymore, sleep a little longer with me~
Tangxi wanted to laugh when she saw this.
But the more she tried to laugh, the tighter her dark face became.
In the end, all he managed was a stiff, forced twitch of his face.
Tangxi's eyes reddened.
Can someone like her truly be the phoenix in Sui Sui's heart?
No.
Since Sui Sui wants to do it, she should try her best to do it.
No matter how difficult it is, she cannot let her down.
Tangxi thought to herself, and slowly tightened her grip on the card in her hand.
Lu Xiang also received a beautiful gift.
It was a beautiful, clear glass bottle containing a rose-scented candle.
—A proud rose should not be confined to darkness; may you have sweet dreams every day from now on.
P.S.: This calming aromatherapy product features my own exclusive formula and will safeguard your sleep for life.
P.S.: You're the only one like this, so keep it a secret!
Lu Xiang smiled knowingly upon seeing this.
She thought that no one in the world would care whether she slept well or not.
But then this person appeared.
And it struck her most tender spot.
but……
Lu Xiang gently stroked the glass bottle.
If she remembered correctly, she slept very well during the time she participated in the show with Lin Sui.
Even during the week I spent with her at the hospital not long ago, she didn't sleep much, because she was worried about her condition.
Furthermore, they were all like this, with no obvious differences.
So how did Lin Sui know that only she had a sleep disorder?
Lu Xiang had a vague answer in her heart.
But I still can't believe it.
She slowly clutched the special gift to her chest and fell into deep thought.
Li Ye's gift looked unremarkable.
It was just a drawstring bag made of silk fabric.
The pocket is embroidered with a vivid and simple line drawing in colorful thread, depicting a little man wearing an Ultraman mask fighting a monster.
The little man had a buzz cut, a scar at the end of his left eyebrow, and powerful, well-defined muscles on his chest, making it hard for him not to recognize himself.
—I believe your mother also hopes that you will continue to believe in the light in this world, just as you have always done.
Put your light in your pocket, and Ultraman will never be lost again! \(^o^)/
Li Ye's cold, hard face instantly melted like ice and snow, becoming incredibly soft.
Without wasting a moment, he immediately took the mini Ultraman toy that he had placed next to his pillow and solemnly put it into his pocket.
After doing all this, Li Ye carefully read through the words on the card again.
Then, his brow twitched slightly.
He never mentioned his mother... and why would he say that she would never be lost again?
Has his Ultraman ever been lost?
Yu Cinian received a huge White Rabbit candy.
A cute little figure is drawn on the White Rabbit candy, pointing seriously at the blackboard: "Candy is delicious, but don't overindulge."
Open this White Rabbit candy, and unsurprisingly, inside are rows of smaller White Rabbit candies.
There was also an extra packet of simply packaged tooth powder, which was clearly not bought from outside.
There is no rule that dictates what a normal person should be like.
Every moment you are the best version of yourself.
P.S.: I still remember the 100 packets of candy I promised you, but I was worried that you would eat too much and damage your teeth, so this was born: Lin Sui brand tooth powder, lifetime replacement guarantee.
P.S.: You're the only one like this, so keep it a secret!
Yu Cinian's eyes darkened.
He knew that his grandfather was most worried about him and hoped that he could return to being the normal Yu Cinian he once was.
But Yu Ci Nian, that same person, had already died ten years ago.
He can't go back.
But that was his grandfather.
The book my grandfather gave him said that people should be filial to their elders and respect the elderly and care for the young.
He didn't know what it meant to be filial, but he was willing to be a "normal person" in the eyes of the world for his grandfather.
But now someone says that he is at his best every moment.
The squad leader is really something...
Yu Cinian chuckled softly.
No longer a hypocritical mask, but with a subtle glimmer in their eyes.
"Hey, what's yours? Let me see." A platinum blonde head suddenly leaned in.
Yu Cinian quickly put away the card, closed the White Rabbit candy box, and gave him a mysterious smile: "It's a secret."
Si Xingran: "..."
He didn't believe it and went to look at Lu Xiang again: "What's yours?"
Lu Xiang gave him a cold, indifferent look and quickly locked the gift box in her suitcase.
"You two are so unsociable, thumbs down!" Si Xingran pointed and gestured.
Yu Cinian and Lu Xiang exchanged a glance subconsciously, then simultaneously looked away.
The team leader (Sui Sui) said that this belongs to him (her) alone.
It's a shame I can't show it off to others.
But for the sake of this lifelong commitment, he (or she) is very willing to keep this secret.
Then, on the day you're about to grow old, take it out and make them incredibly envious.
Well, the future is promising.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiang stopped caring about Si Xingran's sharp tongue and asked him in a good mood, "What about yours? Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"
Si Xingran held the gift box, her face full of conflict.
He knew how terrible his personality was.
He always felt that compared to them, he was probably the least liked by Lin Sui.
Especially after hearing that he was the one who was given away, and that the other party was not happy to accept him.
Therefore, he was both looking forward to and afraid of this rare gift.
But then I thought, no matter what Lin Sui gave him, even if it was just the cheapest plastic lighter, he would probably like it.
At least we can light some fireworks, right?
Si Xingran had prepared himself mentally and lowered his expectations to the bare minimum.
However, when the familiar bright red floral print came into view, Si Xingran still stayed in Bengbu.
His expression froze on his face, and finally he let out a grief-stricken cry: "Damn it! I knew it!"
Lin Sui, who had just come out of the shower, happened to hear this and was taken aback: "What's wrong?"
"You still ask!" Si Xingran was furious, but also felt wronged. "Why are their gifts so thoughtful, while I only got a bed sheet and duvet cover?"
It's from a dung beetle again.
Ugh—I'm even angrier now!
"Ah." Lin Sui responded blankly, "I thought you liked this kind of thing because you couldn't even bear to throw away such cheap bed sheets."
"So you don't like it?"
“I…” Si Xingran was at a loss for words, unsure how to answer, and his face turned red.
Lin Sui said earnestly, "I specially selected the best silk fabric for you, which cost 9999, a full 1,010 times more expensive than before."
Si Xingran: "..." Oh no, he's shamefully fallen for her.
Seeing that his expression softened, Lin Sui stepped forward and took out a four-piece bedding set from the box: "Let me help you change."
Si Xingran was taken aback.
He stared blankly as Lin Sui walked to his bedside and slowly changed his sheets. His eyes felt like they had been stung, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
No one knew that he often dreamed of this scene.
The person in his dream was his mother.
The mother who didn't love him, but risked her life to give birth to him for her older brother.
Si Xingran lowered her eyes to hide the red marks at the corners of her eyes, and casually took out the card she had written for him.
—Hmm, I've been thinking for a long time and I really don't know what to give you, so I'll give you a hundred free opportunities to make your bed.
Remember, you are a star, the brightest one in the sky.
So don't worry, you'll always be in the spotlight.
It felt like countless fireworks were exploding in her mind. Before Si Xingran could even feel happy, she heard a commotion coming from the study.
It looks like there's a fight going on.
Si Xingran rushed into the study like a whirlwind: "Stop fighting! You won't kill anyone like this."
In the study, the two people who were wrestling suddenly stopped and looked up at the same time.
As if eager to vent something, Si Xingran excitedly handed over a butcher knife: "Use this!"
The bystander trying to break up the fight: "..."
The once noisy study fell into an eerie silence in an instant.
