Su Qing’s heart softened instantly, and she didn’t know why the sight of the two adorable children before her made her heart melt so quickly, her mind continually replaying the cries from her dreams.
"What’s your name?" Su Qing’s heart turned tender, and as she picked up the tiny figure of Mo Yuchu, she felt a familiar scent emanating from her, a scent Su Qing didn’t immediately recognize as identical to her own.
Mo Yuchu smiled happily, hugging Su Qing and nuzzling in her embrace, "Sister, you smell so good, you have a familiar scent."
Mo Yuchu sniffed carefully; this big sister’s scent was so familiar, just like her own.
Su Qing chuckled and pinched Mo Yuchu’s adorable cheek, "Such a sweet talker."
Su Qing didn’t take Mo Yuchu’s words seriously, and she missed a crucial clue.
Mo Yuchu pouted her cute little lips and shook her head, "Chuer’s mouth isn’t sweet, Chuer didn’t have any candy today."
Su Qing flashed a devastatingly beautiful smile, stunning Mo Yuchu, who reached up her chubby hand to touch Su Qing’s face, "Sister, you’re so beautiful, the prettiest sister Chuer has ever seen."
From addressing her as "Auntie" to now "Sister," Chuer’s sweetness made Su Qing laugh out loud, a sound she had never made before, pure and clear as a spring.
Mu Chienchien and Gan Tiantian finally squeezed through the crowd to get here, seeing Mo Yuchu embraced by Su Qing. At that moment, Mo Yuchu, like a little leg-hugger, was praising Su Qing, and Su Qing, holding Mo Yuchu, laughed happily, her smile breathtaking and stunning.
"Chuer, come down now." Mu Chienchien rushed forward, calling out unhappily, her mind racing with worry after seeing Mo Yuchu sprinting off earlier. If something had happened to her, how would she face Mo Yunchen, and how would she explain it to the late Qin Qin?
Mo Yuchu pouted but still climbed down from Su Qing and ran to Mu Chienchien, asking to be held.
"Aunt Mu, I’m sorry, it was Chuer’s fault, Chuer didn’t listen." Mo Yuchu apologized first, speaking like a little adult, asking Mu Chienchien for forgiveness.
Looking at Mo Yuchu’s pitiful apology, Mu Chienchien’s anger dissolved, she sighed silently, "Chuer, you can’t do this again, do you understand? If you..."
Mu Chienchien couldn’t finish her sentence, sighing again.
"Chuer, let’s go home."
Gan Tiantian smiled slightly at Su Qing, and seeing Su Qing’s true face, she once again felt that Su Qing’s eyes bore a strong resemblance to Qin Qin’s, yet Su Qing’s eyes were even more beautiful and brighter than Qin Qin’s, making her envious as a woman.
Mo Yuchu looked at Su Qing reluctantly, and Mo Yuyan kept his gaze fixed on her. Suddenly, he climbed down from Gan Tiantian’s embrace, and under the surprised looks from Gan Tiantian and Mu Chienchien, he ran towards Su Qing, looking up at her with his delicate and cute face and a shy smile, his tender voice ringing out, "May I hug you, auntie?"
"Not auntie, sister, she’s a pretty sister." The ever-servile Mo Yuchu quickly corrected her brother Mo Yuyan, while Mu Chienchien and Gan Tiantian chuckled. Not long ago, Mo Yuchu had been calling her "auntie," but she had instantly switched terms.
"Sister, may I hug you?" Mo Yuyan, following suit, called out softly, tentatively, and even with a hint of shyness; from the first moment he saw Su Qing, he felt an odd sensation, a comforting desire to be close to her, an affinity he had never felt for a stranger before.
Su Qing’s heart melted like water as she knelt, wrapping her arms around the tiny frame of Mo Yuyan and sensing his body against hers, she inexplicably felt a sourness well up inside her.
Mo Yuyan hugged Su Qing back, resting his head in her embrace, feeling lost in his thoughts and a sudden urge to cry; it was as if he could smell his mother’s scent, sensing his mother’s fragrance on this sister.
"Sister, I want a hug too." Mo Yuchu, not wanting to be left out, asked for a hug from Su Qing as well.
Mu Chienchien and Gan Tiantian watched this scene in shock; raised with privilege, Mo Yuchu and Mo Yuyan were not kids who let just anyone get close to them. Now, they were showing such affection to a girl they’d only just met; was this a good or a bad thing?
Feng Bai, seeing the little ones hogging her owner, felt a bit disgruntled and pulled at Su Qing, "Su Qing, let’s head back, I’m so tired."
