Chapter 13: My sister has me in her heart

Feng Xuanrui got up a little late; after washing up, it was Qing Shan who carried him out on his back.

If Di Jiao hadn't said that Sui Sui would also come out right away, Feng Xuanrui was still preparing to have Qing Shan carry him to his sister's place.

Prince Qing himself had modest demands for food and drink, but since there was a child in the entourage and Doctor Liu felt sorry for Sui Sui, the morning meal was prepared very lavishly.

After Feng Xuanrui sat down, he stretched his neck to look around, and while looking he asked Qing Shan, "Where's Sui Sui? Weren't you saying she'd come right away? Why is there still no movement? Is she sick?"

Feng Xuanrui asked many worried questions, and Qing Shan answered each one patiently.

Not having seen people for a long time, Feng Xuanrui was still anxious, and while speaking he wanted to get up.

It was at this moment that Sui Sui was brought over by Doctor Liu.

To be honest, Sui Sui was somewhat unaccustomed and also a bit uneasy.

She felt everything was so good it was hard to believe, yet this was reality.

Sui Sui even wondered, could this be a dream she was having?

Seeing Sui Sui approach, Feng Xuanrui became excited and was about to get down: "Sui Sui!!!"

But Qing Shan stopped him.

Seeing a familiar person, Sui Sui felt much more at ease and, rare for her, showed a little smile: "Brother."

Her soft, timid voice made Feng Xuanrui's heart ripple wave after wave.

He thought: His father king was indeed right!

His sister was simply the cutest.

She called him brother!

A soft, squishy brother!

Hehe!

Hehehe!!

Feng Xuanrui laughed like a landlord's foolish son, and Prince Qing walking at the back was simply unbearable to watch.

He felt he seemed to see a miniature version of Prince Qi's older brother.

Doctor Liu held Sui Sui and seated her beside Feng Xuanrui.

After sitting down, Sui Sui obediently called out, "Brother, hello."

Feng Xuanrui smiled so his eyes turned into slits: "Mm-hmm, good good good, sister is also good, all good."

Prince Qing: ……

Looking at him made him seem even more foolish.

Feng Xuanrui didn't have that awareness; he somewhat disliked the ready-made clothes Sui Sui wore, feeling the fabric wasn't soft enough, the style wasn't fresh, and they were also quite large.

But thinking that he himself hadn't given these details any thought the previous night—everything had been arranged by Doctor Liu—and he didn't feel comfortable saying more, he could only take Sui Sui's hand and go look at the morning meal on the table.

"Sui Sui, do you want to drink yam porridge? Though I think it's tasteless, the meat porridge is better."

"That one is red bean roll, that one is red date steamed cake, that one is..."

……

On the table there was porridge, pastries, and small dishes.

Besides the bowl of plain rice porridge she drank before sleep last night, Sui Sui had never seen the rest, and didn't even know how to eat them.

She obediently listened to Feng Xuanrui's introduction; when she heard her brother ask which one she wanted to eat, Sui Sui blankly looked at the food, then at Feng Xuanrui, and shook her head: "Sui Sui doesn't know."

The yam porridge was similar to the porridge she drank last night, but not quite the same because a few goji berries were sprinkled on top, so Sui Sui didn't recognize it.

Not knowing whether she could eat it, nor how to eat it, Sui Sui could only speak truthfully.

Feng Xuanrui's heart suddenly felt sour, as if soaked in vinegar, and his eye sockets turned red.

He pursed his lips, made an effort to control himself, and thus kept from crying out loud.

Doctor Liu, at the side, had already served Sui Sui a bowl of yam and goji porridge: "Sui Sui, drink this first; she's physically weak and has long been unable to have meaty food, so start with something light, then gradually transition."

Sui Sui obediently followed the arrangement; Feng Xuanrui thought of the hardships his sister had endured, and his tears welled up uncontrollably, dropping one after another.

Sui Sui keenly sensed Feng Xuanrui's emotion.

She turned her head, anxiously looking at Feng Xuanrui whose eyes were red from crying, and softly asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

There were still two adults at the table; after reacting, Feng Xuanrui felt quite embarrassed, hastily wiped away a tear, and guiltily answered his sister, "I'm just really hungry."

The feeling of being extremely hungry, Sui Sui knew, is unpleasant.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly pushed the bowl of porridge Doctor Liu had given her toward Feng Xuanrui: "Brother, eat first."

Feng Xuanrui: ……

Wuwu!

Wanting to cry even more.

My sister has me in her heart!

Having a sister feels really great!

The young boy's tears directly became uncontrollable.

Not only because he thought of Sui Sui's difficult past, but also because he thought of his own narrow escape from death yesterday.

The young boy, feeling frightened, cried without any image.

As soon as Sui Sui saw him crying, she couldn't help herself either.

Children's emotions are easily influenced.

When one is crying, the other, even if clearly happy, may also unconsciously start crying.

Doctor Liu coaxed this one, coaxed that one; before breakfast was even eaten, his heart was already tired.

Prince Qing would have liked to help, but as soon as his cold face appeared…

Sui Sui cried even harder!

After the two children cried from hunger and also cried themselves tired, they finally calmed down and could eat.

Sui Sui only drank a bowl of porridge; Liu Dafu said her spleen and stomach were weak, so she now needed to eat less but more frequently, trying to increase the amount.

Fortunately, Sui Sui was obedient and ate however much was given.

Seeing this, Liu Dafu couldn't help feeling sad again.

Thinking of the news Di Jiao had gathered that morning, Liu Dafu smiled and said to Sui Sui, "Sui Sui, in the evening, someone in the city will release river lanterns; at that time I'll take you and your brother out to see, okay?"

Release river lanterns?

Having never heard of it before, Sui Sui also didn't understand what it meant; she looked blankly at Liu Dafu and obediently nodded: "Okay, Grandpa Liu."

Seeing Sui Sui's confused little expression, Liu Dafu knew this child probably didn't understand.

Although she didn't understand, she still obediently agreed—what a sensible, thoughtful child!

Liu Dafu felt sad again.

He carefully explained to Sui Sui what releasing river lanterns was and why they were done.

Feng Xuanrui was chewing on a meat bun on the side; he had never been interested in such activities before.

But seeing his sister sitting there with bright eyes listening, Feng Xuanrui felt that since this activity existed, it must have its significance!

The young boy not only became interested in the river lanterns, he kept nodding and said: "I also want to release a river lantern, I'll release one for my sister!"

Although Sui Sui still didn't understand, it didn't affect her affection for her brother: "I want to also release one for my brother!"

Upon hearing that, Feng Xuanrui's heart blossomed with joy; he proudly lifted his little head: "Hehe!"

Liu Dafu said, since they wanted to release river lanterns, they ought to show some sincerity, right?

Not making the river lanterns by hand, but at least the lantern surface should be pasted by themselves, right?

Then, after breakfast, the two children were taken by Liu Dafu to paste the river lanterns.

Prince Qing went out to handle affairs and only returned in the afternoon.

At this point, the two children had pasted river lanterns all morning, the success rate was……

Zero.

Moreover, both of them had paste all over their heads and faces.

Finally, Liu Dafu couldn't bear to watch, so he washed the two children, gave them medicine, and let them nap.

Hearing that Prince Qing had returned, Liu Dafu came over specially, intending to ask whether the person sent to investigate Sui Sui's information had come back.

This child—could he really be brought back to Jing Cheng to be properly raised?
