Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Strawberry-Flavored Candy
Awakening from the dream, Little Taotie happily got dressed in beautiful clothes and pants and ran downstairs, lured by the scent of cookies, to find Tao Shen already having baked a tray of small cookies.
“Come on, the next batch is waiting for you to make it together!”
Little Taotie cheered and started to choose the molds, making cookies under Tao Shen’s guidance.
After breakfast and studying with Hua Jinyan, then another delicious meal, scoring a hundred percent would bring lots of praise and admiration, and at night she could listen to various interesting stories, along with the story of The Ugly Duckling every day.
Life was as beautiful as a dream.
It was just like what The Ugly Duckling said, “I wouldn’t dare to dream of having so much happiness.”
After five days of learning, there were two days of rest. Little Taotie calculated the time, it was time to visit the beautiful sister at the hospital.
The seven-day promise had arrived, the pretty girl’s forehead was leaking dark gray mist, which enveloped her wisp by wisp.
The girl stayed inside the hospital’s doors, her consciousness becoming a bit blurry, the scenes of her life gradually fading in her mind, shrouded by resentment, her beautiful face also turning ashen white.
“Beautiful sister, you didn’t commit suicide, you were murdered!” Little Taotie appeared before the girl, her little hand gently reaching out to her forehead and pulling out the mist bit by bit until it formed into a pink Candy.
Little Taotie squinted her eyes, grinning, “It’s strawberry flavored!”
She looked in one direction and made a firing gesture with her hands, sending out misfortune.
Hua Jinyan looked at the girl, who was now bewildered, and explained, “The resentment has been eaten by her, she turned it into misfortune, and the misfortune will soon befall the person who harmed you, he will expose his own flaws.”
The gray whiteness faded from the girl’s face, returning to her original pretty and bright appearance. She lowered her eyelids, knowing that her time was running out, looking longingly into the distance.
She couldn’t bear to leave her family, her dreams.
“I want to know who harmed me, otherwise I can’t leave.”
Seeing that she indeed had no signs of leaving, as if her unfulfilled wishes kept her from reincarnating, Hua Jinyan sighed like a wise adult, “Then let’s wait a bit longer.”
Just as Cheng Guodong returned home, he received a call from the police station.
“They have nothing to do with my sister.”
“They have nowhere to go, what does that have to do with my sister?”
“Go to relatives’ houses, welfare institutions, there are many places they could go to, why should the twin dragons cling to my sister? My sister is just a child as well, she can’t support them!”
“Alright, I’m hanging up.”
Just as Cheng Guodong was about to hang up, he was tugged at the hem of his clothes by Little Taotie. She looked up, tilted her head, and asked, “Twin dragons? Are they my brother and sister?”
Cheng Guodong frowned.
The police on the other end of the phone actually requested to talk to Little Taotie.
Cheng Guodong’s gaze grew heavy, wondering what sort of people were in the local police station!
Cheng Guodong held back his frustration, wishing to hang up the call right away.
“Big brother, are they my brother and sister?” Little Taotie asked again.
Qin Xin stepped forward, took the phone from Cheng Guodong, inquired about the situation, looked down at Little Taotie, and said, “Your brother and sister ran away from their relatives’ house and went to the police station. They wanted to find you but couldn’t, so the police reached out to your agent to locate you.”
“They want to find me?” Little Taotie thought for a moment, then asked, “Are they too hungry and looking for me to give them something tasty?”
“You could see it that way, they want to seek refuge with you.”
“Before grandpa left, he asked me to take care of them.” Little Taotie tugged at Cheng Guodong’s hem, her voice childlike, “I’ll go see them. If they have become nicer, I will give them some tasty treats. Now that I’m working, I can support my brother and sister.”
