In the courtyard filled with the fragrance of flowers, Hu Liena, with her orange short hair and doll-like appearance, was sitting obediently by the table.
She couldn't help but salivate as she looked at the delicious dishes on the table.
Sucking on the pacifier between her lips, seemingly trying to satisfy her craving, she watched as Bibi Dong brought out some snacks from the kitchen.
Dressed in a white dress, with a simple hairpin holding up her long hair, she approached with a gentle smile.
As Hu Liena's throat moved, showing a hint of impatient in her eyes, Bibi Dong couldn't help but smile.
"Eat it.. "
Hu Liena quickly grabbed the snacks and munched it with gusto. But when she noticed Bibi Dong's stare, she blushed deeply.
Hu Liena, seeing the gentle expression of Bibi Dong, felt the sweetness of the cream penetrate her heart.
Bibi Dong, seeing the cream on Hu Liena's lips, couldn't help but chuckle.
As if back to the days of taking care of her children, Bibi Dong gently asked, "Is it delicious? Is it too sweet?"
Hu Liena shook her head lightly and chewed carefully.
Just then, a young golden-haired boy with a pink rabbit in his hand burst in.
Happily shouting to inside, "Mom, I'm here. Huh?"
As Qian Renjue looked at the young and unfamiliar face under the pavilion, there was a moment of hesitation.
"Jue," Bibi Dong turned back, smiled, and waved at him.
"Come here quickly, Mom already prepared your portion."
Hu Liena, full of curiosity, turned her gaze towards the courtyard gate.
Her eyes slightly widened.
Overwhelmed with joy, she couldn't help but mutter softly: "So, Big Brother is the Senior Brother, the Holy Son."
"Come here," Bibi Dong urged softly.
"Mm," Qian Renjue came to his senses, understanding the girl's identity.
Nodding, he quickly walked to the pavilion underneath.
Seeing the rabbit in Qian Renjue's hand, Bibi Dong furrowed his brow.
"Jue, throw away that rabbit and wash your hands."
"Almost forgot," Qian Renjue chuckled and nodded.
He casually tossed the rabbit on the ground.
"Squeak!"
The Soft Bone Rabbit shook its head, sniffed around, and looked towards the table.
Its crimson eyes carried some longing, jumping forward a bit, looking at Bibi Dong, yet not daring to move closer.
"How did it got so dirty," Bibi Dong glanced at the dirty rabbit on the ground, showing no interest.
"Wah!"
The Soft Bone Rabbit let out a pitiful cry.
"After rolling down the hill, of course it's dirty."
Looking at the puzzled Hu Liena, Bibi Dong affectionately ruffled her short hair. "Nana, rest assured. Your Senior Brother is very easy to get along with."
"Mm," Hu Liena nodded slightly.
Eagerly waiting for Qian Renjue to appear in her line of sight, she thought, "Big Brother looks more handsome now."
Soon, Jue returned under the pavilion, smiling, and asked,
"Mom, is this the Senior Sister you found for Jue?"
Bibi Dong, holding Qian Renjue's hand, was slightly surprised.
"Jue knew?"
"Of course, I guessed," Qian Renjue nodded. Passing as Bibi Dong sat down, he appraised Hu Liena.
Meeting his gaze, Hu Liena immediately lowered her head, blushing, nervously gripping the table edge.
Bibi Dong held Qian Renjue hand, gently wiping it.
Smiling, she said, "You guessed correctly, but did Chrysanthemum told you?"
"He didn't tell me this," Qian Renjue shook his head.
Seeing the pacifier in the bowl, a glint appeared in his eyes.
"You really are smart," Bibi Dong praised gently, then turned to introduce Hu Liena.
"Nana, this is your Senior Brother, Qian Renjue."
"The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, also the child of the teacher, but this can't be told to anyone else, understand?" Hu Liena raised her head, avoiding Qian Renjue's gaze, didn't understand but nodding obediently.
"Mm, Teacher Nana won't tell anyone else," Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction, gently ruffling Hu Liena's head. "Now say hello to your Senior Brother."
Hu Liena nodded, nervously clinging to her clothes, looking at Qian Renjue, shy and timid.
She shyly opened her lips. "Senior..Senior Brother."
"Haha, little sister remembers me?" Qian Renjue smiled gently, picking up the pacifier from the bowl and raising it in his hand.
"..." Hu Liena's eyes lit up, quickly nodding in excitement. "Remember, Nana remembers Big Brother."
"Hmm?" Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow.
"Jue, Nana, did you two know each other before?"
"Not really," Qian Renjue shook his head lightly, explaining,
"When I was young, I gave this little sister my pacifier, but I still don't know her name."
"Pacifier?" Bibi Dong looked at the pacifier, understanding why it felt familiar.
Anxiously, Hu Liena raised her hand.
"Brother, you can call me Nana."
"Mm, Hu Liena, I will remember that," Qian Renjue smiled, gently inserting the pacifier back into Hu Liena's mouth.
"Wah~" Hu Liena blushed, cooperatively biting the pacifier.
Bibi Dong's smile deepened.
Relieved that Qian Renjue didn't mind, they had met before. Feeling relieved.
"Alright, now that everyone knows each other, let's have our meal."
"Mm,"
"Squeak!"
Hearing the meal call, the Soft Bone Rabbit immediately leapt onto Qian Renjue's leg, wanting to join the meal.
"Don't come up, you're so dirty," Qian Renjue disdainfully swept it off to the ground.
Splat!
"Squeak!"
Rolling on the ground, the Soft Bone Rabbit crawled towards Qian Renjue, baring its teeth.
(Xiao Wu is not dirty. It's all your fault for teasing Xiao Wu")
"Be quiet, I'll give you food," Qian Renjue gave a side-eye, picking up some food that the rabbit could eat.
"Hmph!"
The Soft Bone Rabbit whispered softly.
Since it didn't have the habit of getting on the table, it obediently lay on the ground.
Bibi Dong looked tenderly at Qian Renjue.
"Jue, if you don't like the rabbit, you can discard it."
"It's okay, Mom. I'll train it well," Qian Renjue shook his head.
It was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast; he couldn't bear to throw it away.
The rabbit's eyes dimmed again.
How could it forget it was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, why would he discard it? It couldn't escape anyway.
The Soft Bone Rabbit still held doubts about why it appeared here.
