She touched her sister's head and showed a smile, "The two of them grew up together, just like us. Maybe he's just used to being taken care of, and besides, didn't you just say that you cling to your brother-in-law every day? Do you like him too?"
An Nannan instinctively retorted but then suddenly remembered the days she had spent recently with Xu Musen.
Indeed, she came to cling to him more and more, even pestering him to make delicious food and play with her. Just last night, she seemed to have sleepily snuggled into his arms.
She suddenly blushed.
"I wouldn't like him... Oh, sister, don't tease me..."
An Nannan stammered, the little girl at this age was still not quite used to being teased, her face turning beet red as she threw about the wild vegetables.
An Nuannuan smiled and touched her sister's cheek.
Luckily, it was her own sister, otherwise there would have been another potential love rival in the future.
She continued to focus on digging up wild vegetables, but since the sisters had always lived in very good conditions since childhood, she wasn't very knowledgeable about which vegetables were edible and which wild plants were not.
"Can we eat these, sister?"
An Nannan looked at the basket full of wild vegetables, which didn't quite look like the vegetables they normally ate.
"Let's take them home and see, Lianmai should know."
An Nuannuan remembered Zhao Lianmai had once said she used to go up the mountains to dig wild vegetables for steamed buns and such.
Well, digging a bit more wouldn't hurt, there should be some that are edible.
"Some of these wild vegetables are not edible…"
Just then, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind them.
An Nuannuan turned her head to look, and right behind her appeared two figures; one tall and one short.
The speaker was a stunningly beautiful girl with a tall and voluptuous figure, wearing a light-colored long dress. Even the loose cut could not hide her perfectly slender body.
She gently adjusted the hair by her ears, looking a year or two older than An Nuannuan, but with a mature and knowledgeable demeanor of an older sister.
She gently squatted down, reached out her hand, and checked the wild vegetables in An Nuannuan's basket.
"These are inedible, these must be cooked, and these can be eaten raw..."
Her voice was gentle, and she was very accurate about the wild plants, carefully helping to sort them out.
Beside her stood another girl, not quite as tall, dressed in a cute Lolita style dress, but her figure was also rather full.
Her cute face even more youthful and beautiful than An Nuannuan, looking just like a little porcelain doll.
"Are you…the sister who gave us body lotion when we were at the hot springs?"
An Nannan recognized the gentle voice.
"It was you bathing that day, what a coincidence."
The gentle older sister also revealed a smile. Looking at the sisters in front of her, she felt inexplicably close.
An Nuannuan, holding her sister's hand, expressed her gratitude.
"No need to thank me. In situations , we all should help each other."
The gentle older sister shook her head, taking out some of her gathered wild vegetables from her basket to share with An Nuannuan.
"These are what I dug up, just cook them before eating, and take good care of yourselves too."
An Nuannuan did not refuse, but patted her sister's head, and An Nannan, understanding the gesture, also handed over half of the coconuts she had picked.
"Thank you, you take care of yourself too."
The two exchanged silent glances; in fact, they looked quite similar, whether in temperament or figure, perhaps by the kinship between beautiful women.
They smiled at each other.
"Sister, they are really nice people."
An Nannan watched the gentle older sister and the cute-dress-wearing girl as they departed.
"Yes, there are still many good people in the world."
An Nuannuan stroked her sister's head, looking at the vegetables in the basket, ready to head back.
"Sister Qingqing, I think those sisters were so nice, they gave us lots of coconuts. We can't even climb trees, otherwise, we wouldn't have coconut juice."
The girl in Lolita dress held a bunch of coconuts, also looking quite excited.
The long-dressed gentle older sister nodded, "Yeah, it's a kind gesture of exchange."
"Hehe! Let's head back then, Sister Jiajia and Xiaomi are probably returning from the sea soon, don't let that stinky Xu guy wait too anxiously..."
Four silhouettes walked in different directions, each caring deeply for their loved ones.
