Chapter 150: Teasing the Little One

~7 min read 1,322 words

Ren Ce Fei stood for a moment, also realizing the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward?

It couldn't really be called awkward; it was more like subtle.

She didn't speak, and others also didn't dare to speak.

In the end, it resulted in the effect of collective silence.

After reacting, Ren Ce Fei felt a bit embarrassed.

She watched the two little girls stand in a row, occasionally glancing at her, then looking at the fish swimming not far away, and asked with a smile: "Want to feed the fish together?"

Feeding two people is fine, feeding three people is also fine.

Sui Sui had no opinion, but since she was following Mengmeng Jiejie, she turned her head to look at Liu He Meng, not rushing to speak.

Liu He Meng thought, since the consort had already spoken, they probably shouldn't refuse, right?

Feeling Sui Sui looking at her, she quickly tightened her grip on Sui Sui's hand, thanked Ren Ce Fei, then replied "okay."

Ren Ce Fei took the two children to feed the fish.

Sui Sui now wears a little hat, but it can't hide the fact that she has no hair.

Ren Ce Fei, off to the side, watched the two little heads bobbing up and down, finding them extremely cute, her hand itching to touch them.

Actually, Ren Ce Fei usually doesn't pay much attention to flowers, grass, fish, or birds.

But such little heads, if touched, should be fun, right?

Everyone: ……

Everyone: ……

Who will go remind her?

But thinking there are plenty of fish in the residence, overfeeding a few shouldn't be a problem, right?

Anyway, it's the consort who's overfeeding, it has nothing to do with us!

The servant handed it over, she took it, looked at the fish in the pond, then raised her hand—splash! —the whole bowl of fish food went in.

Everyone: ……

You're going to kill the fish!

Sui Sui felt her head a bit cool, and quietly shrank back behind Liu He Meng.

With this much fish food, won't we end up bursting these fish?

Everyone was surprised, but didn't dare to say anything.

For this reason, Ren Ce Fei gave the two children a few extra glances.

Sui Sui didn't understand, only happily clapped: "Wow, so much!"

No one could refute, so they passed another bowl of fish food over.

Ren Ce Fei happily scattered more in, watching the fish swim about happily, she also felt her performance was excellent, nodding repeatedly: "Look, they've gotten so hungry, when feeding fish you still need to be diligent."

Ren Ce Fei originally had no confidence, but hearing the children say that, she proudly lifted her head, tidied her clothes a bit, and said with a smile: "The residence isn't short on fish food; feeding more is fine, bring some more."

Ren Ce Fei didn't ask further, fearing it might be the children's sad matter.

The problem is, these fish aren't tasty either.

As a result, when coming to feed the fish, she didn't know how much fish food to scatter.

Although Sui Sui didn't respond, she obediently nodded.

That is, is there a possibility?

They have no brains, don't remember having eaten before?

No one dares to say that.

Because even if said, Ren Ce Fei might not be willing to listen.

Liu He Meng thought, the fish probably can't eat that much, right?

But she's just a child, can't go by feeling alone; after thinking, she ultimately didn't speak.

Sui Sui, on the other hand, completely doesn't understand; whatever others say, as long as it's not malicious, she can echo it with two sounds.

When Ren Ce Fei said the fish were hungry, she just nodded.

When Ren Ce Fei fed the fish, she happily clapped twice.

This time Ren Ce Fei said, usually the fish are fed too little, so they're too hungry; she nodded again.

Ren Ce Fei, off to the side, watched the little girl's head bobbing, couldn't help laughing: "Sui Sui, nod slowly, or else your head will fall off and the fish will eat it!"

Sui Sui:?

The little girl looked at Ren Ce Fei with a frightened face, then tightly covered her own head.

Seeing the children's faces turn pale with fright, Ren Ce Fei couldn't help wanting to laugh.

She thought, teasing children is indeed fun.

Too bad her two sons—one has a slow mind, can't be teased into understanding.

The other's mind works too fast; teasing him yields no point at all.

This has taken away much of her fun, but now does this count as making up for some of it on Sui Sui?

No wonder the Princess Consort likes this child.

Ren Ce Fei thought, she also likes fun children.

Thinking of these, she reached out, originally intending to touch Sui Sui's little hat, but when close, she couldn't control herself and flicked Sui Sui's forehead.

Pa!

Such a light flick directly left Sui Sui dazed.

She hadn't been hit recently, nor felt any malice from the pretty aunt, so she forgot her instinctive dodge and honestly took a knock on the head.

After reacting, Sui Sui, who had been covering the sides of her head, moved her hands back to her forehead, expression puzzled and aggrieved, as if she didn't understand why she had been hit.

Looking at the little girl with a bewildered, aggrieved expression, Ren Ce Fei couldn't help but clap her hands and laugh.

Her smile was bright and generous, yet carried a different elegance; it didn't seem rude at all, only that she seemed extremely pleasant and easy to get along with.

But they didn't know that, while watching the easygoing Ren Ce Fei, she was now teasing a child and laughing heartily herself.

Sui Sui felt aggrieved, Liu He Meng felt pained, turned her head and looked carefully at Sui Sui.

But the child held on tightly, and Liu He Meng didn't want to blame Ren Ce Fei, anxiously pacing back and forth on one side.

Seeing this scene, Ren Ce Fei couldn't help but laugh again.

She laughed as she stepped forward, soothingly patting Sui Sui's shoulder: "Oh dear, I didn't do it on purpose, I just couldn't hold back. Let me see—are they all turned red?"

Pretty aunt wanted to look, and although Sui Sui wasn't very reassured, she still obediently let go of her hand.

The child, holding no grudges at all, looked obedient, which made people feel very fond of her, yet also couldn't help worrying whether, being so untrained, she might be bullied in the future.

However, the Wangfu's young lady is protected by the Princess Consort, so it probably wouldn't happen, right?

Ren Ce Fei thought for a while, still not very reassured, could only bend down, look into Sui Sui's eyes, gently help her rub the spot where her brain had been bruised, and said with a smile: "Silly child, if others bully you and you can't fight back, you must remember to run away; otherwise staying put and being bullied is so painful."

Sui Sui didn't sense any malice from Ren Ce Fei, and upon hearing her words, she gently shook her head: "But auntie didn't bully me."

Hearing this, Ren Ce Fei felt both sorrowful and couldn't help wanting to laugh again.

She thought, indeed she's still a child, with simple thoughts and naive ideas.

But who can say that such a child isn't cute?

If she weren't cute, could she stay here and tease for half a day?

However, precisely because she's cute and delightful, we must remind Sui Sui more that the world is treacherous, especially human hearts, and one must discern carefully.

Thinking of this, Ren Ce Fei gently patted Sui Sui's shoulder, then slightly straightened her face and said: "But it's harder to say for people outside; next time someone wants to bully you, remember to run."
