Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Reunion with Shariputra
Tao Shen squatted down and reached out in front of Little Taotie, smiling gently as he asked, “Beautiful little princess, would you let brother help you put your little pet into the fish tank, okay?”
Tao Ti still remembered the brother who had invited her for roast duck, and she nodded, “Thank you, Brother Shen!”
Tao Shen’s face lit up with joy, “So Little Taotie hasn’t forgotten me!”
With her cheeks flushed, Tao Ti nodded shyly while clutching her teddy bear, “Brother, next time I’ll treat you to roast duck!”
Her older brother had said that reciprocity was a virtue of the Hua Country people!
Tao Shen really wanted to hug his sister and spin her around three hundred sixty degrees, how could she be so adorable, so sensible, and so well-behaved!
He struggled to suppress the joy in his heart, but he didn’t realize that the flowers blooming above his head had already spun in a three hundred sixty degree circle!
Tao Ti looked up at the top of his head, her eyes wide with astonishment. It was the first time she had seen the flowers spin in place, so astonishing!
This brother really liked her very much!
Was he this happy just because she would treat him to a meal?
Little Taotie tilted her head in thought, then stepped forward and took Tao Shen’s hand, saying with a milky voice, “I will treat you often in the future!”
Little Taotie’s eyes twinkled!
Then, the little flowers exploded in place like fireworks, petals scattering across the sky and then falling back onto their heads to become little flowers again. But that wasn’t all; they began to dance in place, as if doing the Yangko!
Little Taotie couldn’t help clapping her hands, “You dance so well!”
Tao Shen was bewildered.
Did his sister want him to dance?
So, amidst his bewilderment, Tao Shen didn’t hesitate to improvise a dance for his sister.
The piano music started, and with the accompaniment, Tao Shen, who had intended to stop, could only keep dancing until the music ended.
Tao Shen expected to be greeted by his sister’s cheers, but unexpectedly, she suddenly ran towards the piano, asking cheerfully, “How come you’re here? I thought you were on the mountain. You didn’t wait for me that day, did you wait for a long time? I’m sorry, I had to come down the mountain first…”
Hua Jinyan revealed a shy smile and shook his head, “I didn’t wait very long, you don’t need to apologize.”
Tian Leran, who had looked in the mirror again and felt he was perfect before coming out, and the panting Tao Shen who had been dancing nonstop, were both stunned at the same time.
The same thought crossed their minds: So, he can smile, huh?
Hua Jinyan came to Tian Leran for lessons, acting like an autistic child, not smiling, not crying, just staring at you with no expression. Later, after Tian Leran asked his mother several times, he learned some inside stories. The child wasn’t autistic, but he was indeed different from other children; he had some special abilities.
Tao Shen had heard about this little junior disciple of his brother’s in his previous life. They had spent some time together, and he played several cheerful piano pieces for him, yet he always wore a straight-face, as if Tao Shen owed him a lot of money.
But seeing his sister made him smile!
And it was quite a lovely smile at that!
“Eh?” Little Taotie’s gaze locked onto Hua Jinyan’s wrist, tilting her head and asking, “Is this… a Rainbow Shariputra?”
Hua Jinyan nodded and immediately took it off to hand it over.
Little Taotie took it and inspected it closely, finding it more and more familiar, especially the red Shariputra. It wasn’t very round because it had hit her forehead, so it was a bit deformed.
“This is the Shariputra that hit me! It’s the Rainbow Relic I gave back to the police officer!”
