Rong Si also grabbed a handful of flour from the table and chased after her.
He was a head taller than the little girl and had longer legs. Besides, the house was only so big. He caught up with Su Jiu easily and also swiped a handful of flour on her face.
When Rong Si saw that the little girl’s face had turned into that of a little kitten, he couldn’t help but smile, his eyes full of happiness.
The little girl was not angry at all even after her face had been smeared with flour. Instead, she looked at Rong Si and contentedly smiled. “Big Brother, you’re laughing. That’s great.”
Rong Si was stunned again.
So she was teasing me on purpose to make me laugh?
“Idiot.” He suddenly felt awkward. After slapping away the flour on his hand, he picked up a tissue from the coffee table and held her little face, wiping the flour clean bit by bit.
The little girl obediently stood in front of him and allowed him to wipe her. This scene made Song Wanqiu laugh uncontrollably.
His son and Little Jiu happened to have the most adorable height difference. The little girl had just reached his chest, and she was so tiny. She was really adorable. Such a scene made people feel happy.
At this moment, someone rang the doorbell.
Song Wanqiu quickly stood up and wiped her hands on her apron before walking over to open the door. When she saw who it was, her eyes widened in surprise. “Why are you here?”
“You didn’t expect this, did you?” Sheng Tianci stood outside the door and gave her a bright and somewhat proud smile.
Song Wanqiu had indeed not expected this. When she saw him smiling at her, her ears turned hot and her heart skipped a beat.
She saw that he had worn a white shirt, a dark gray knitted shirt, and a black coat. His ears and his hands, which were carrying large and small bags, had turned red from the cold. She hurriedly said, “It’s windy outside. Come in quickly.”
After Sheng Tianci came in, he placed the huge pile of things on the coffee table and said to Su Jiu and Rong Si, “Uncle bought a lot of delicious food for you guys. There are also fireworks. After dinner, shall we go up to the rooftop to set off fireworks?”
“Yes!” Su Jiu happily agreed. She then looked at Sheng Tianci and said, “Uncle Sheng, why are you wearing so little? Are you cold? Don’t let yourself catch a cold just to act cool!”
Sheng Tianci was stunned.
Has the little girl seen through all of this? Indeed, he had not worn thick clothes so that he could show his handsome figure. As a result, the moment he got out of the car, he had felt a chill all over his body.
From the corner of his eye, Sheng Tianci glanced at Song Wanqiu, who was pouring hot water for him. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he coughed and said, “I’m not cold. You, on the other hand, why do you have so much flour on your face, hmm?”
Sheng Tianci deliberately changed the topic and walked to the little girl. He first rubbed his hands to warm her up, then helped her wipe her face.
When Su Jiu felt his care, her heart warmed up again.
To her, Uncle Sheng was like her second father. She liked him very much too.
After Sheng Tianci wiped the little girl’s face clean, Song Wanqiu came over to him with a cup of hot water. As she handed it to him, she said, “Drink some water. Be careful, it’s hot.”
“Yes, thank you!” Sheng Tianci took the glass of water from her hand. After blowing on it a few times and taking a sip, he instantly felt the coldness disperse and his entire body warm up.
He caught a glimpse of Song Wanqiu, but she quickly looked away and seemed a little nervous. “I-I’ll continue making dumplings.”
Sheng Tianci smiled. “Okay. Do you need my help?”
