Chapter 23: Weaving Beautiful Dreams of the Mortal World for You

Hearing the system's reminder, Sui Sui first glanced at her brother.

Feng Xuanrui was already asleep at this moment, perhaps because a fever made him uncomfortable, so his sleep was not very sound.

Sui Sui gently grasped her brother's hand, wanting to give him more strength, and whispered a reply to the system.

"Alright, Le Le."

She must listen to the story attentively and then tell it to her brother!

The system nervously shuffled to select today's lullaby master.

Soon, a young Pretty aunt appeared in Sui Sui's consciousness.

There was a name above her head.

"Wang Zhenyi"

Unfortunately, Sui Sui is illiterate.

She looked at the poised, beautiful aunt and politely greeted, "Hello, aunt."

Wang Zhenyi was at this moment still recalling the benefits the system mentioned.

Hearing the childish voice, she lowered her eyes for a glance, discovered a cute little bald child, and couldn't help showing a loving smile: "Hello, Sui Sui, I am Deqing aunt."

Sui Sui again politely called out, "Hello, Deqing aunt."

A very well‑behaved child.

Wang Zhenyi reached out, lightly brushed Sui Sui's head, then narrated the vast universe and splendid starry sky to her.

It was a world even more unfamiliar to Sui Sui, so unfamiliar that she couldn't grasp the words spoken by Deqing aunt.

Yet Sui Sui still listened earnestly and gradually became fascinated.

As she listened, Sui Sui felt drowsiness.

She was reluctant to abandon the story and uneasy about her brother, so she simply sat there, nodding her head repeatedly.

Liu Dafu watched from the side, feeling both amused and helpless.

He tried to separate the two children's hands.

As a result, the moment he moved, Sui Sui subconsciously clenched Feng Xuanrui's hand.

Feng Xuanrui also felt uneasy, muttering two dissatisfied murmurs in his sleep while gripping Sui Sui's hand even tighter.

Liu Dafu said with a helpless expression, "Fine, then I'm the bad guy!"

Unable to separate the two children, he could only let them squeeze together for the night.

Di Jiao swiftly fetched a blanket, covered Sui Sui with it, and carefully arranged the two children on the bed, trying as much as possible to prevent them from disturbing each other.

In the consciousness, Wang Zhenyi, watching Sui Sui's obedient sleeping face, raised her hand and lightly gestured toward the little girl.

"I carry the romantic Milky Way, weaving mortal beautiful dreams for you."

"Sui Sui, good night."

Early the next morning, Sui Sui was...

... woke up while holding it in.

What made her wake up wasn't urine.

but rather...

Feng Xuanrui's leg lying across her!

Feng Xuanrui wasn't old, but his leg was truly thick!

That pressure almost suffocated Sui Sui!

Qing Shan was just taking a short nap; when he opened his eyes again, he saw his own young master's leg domineeringly pressing on Sui Sui.

Qing Shan quickly got up, intending to adjust his young master's sleeping posture, and then saw Sui Sui laboriously crawl out from under Feng Xuanrui's leg.

After crawling out, Sui Sui gasped heavily, and her complexion gradually improved.

Qing Shan was startled and, still worried, asked, "Sui Sui, are you okay? Want some water?"

Mentioning water made Sui Sui feel the urge to urinate.

She shyly shook her head, pointed toward the clean room outside, and quickly slipped on her clothes and ran.

Qing Shan was taken aback by the little girl's swift reaction, and after regaining his composure, he hurriedly shouted, "Shoes, shoes, shoes!"

Sui Sui had never worn shoes before, and now she was still a bit unaccustomed to them.

After Qing Shan's reminder, Sui Sui hurried back, put on the shoes properly, and dashed out again.

Liu Dafu entered and immediately felt a gust of wind with a reflective sheen passing by.

He glanced in the direction the little girl ran and understood what was happening.

Shaking his head with a smile, Liu Dafu went inside, first inquired about Qing Shan's situation, then patted Feng Xuanrui's head.

He came in from outside, his hand carrying a slight coolness.

This touch directly woke Feng Xuanrui.

The young boy sprang up, his face showing unfocused bewilderment, eyes half‑closed, and his first words were, "Where's my sister? Where's my sister?"

Liu Dafu lifted his arm, taking his pulse while replying, "Don't worry, she won't be lost."

Feng Xuanrui used his free hand to rub his face, turned his head for a while, then slowly withdrew his gaze, glanced again at the intact river lantern on the bed, and with a "bang" it fell back down.

Liu Dafu saw and understood; he hadn't fully woken up.

After Sui Sui returned, Di Jiao took her to wash up, take medicine, and then she came back to see Feng Xuanrui.

Feng Xuanrui's fever had subsided, but it still needed observation today, for fear of recurrence.

The well‑rested Feng Xuanrui was in high spirits.

After breakfast, he became restless: "Where is Uncle Prince Qing? Where are Uncle Zhan Yuan and the others? Are they still busy? Let's release the river lantern tonight!"

Prince Qing is very busy.

He had come back to take a look yesterday evening, then went out again and never returned.

The aftermath of the bandit incident, the disposal and such, still needed him to decide.

Including some public order rectification within Qingzhou Prefecture City, also needed Prince Qing to assist Prefect Sun in carrying it out.

Now that Feng Xuanrui asked, Doctor Liu also couldn't go into detail, only shaking his head: "His Highness is very busy; I expect he can't free up time."

After saying that, Doctor Liu also didn't forget to add a couple more reminders: "In the next few days, the city will likely be chaotic; you all better not go out, just play in the courtyard."

After hearing that, Feng Xuanrui pursed his lips, somewhat unhappy.

However, he also knew that official duties were pressing.

Unable to release the river lanterns, unable to bring his sister to see the festivities, Feng Xuanrui felt disappointed, but he still had other skills!

After eating, he took Sui Sui to go make a kite!

Feng Xuanrui said: "I can handle the river lanterns; a mere kite is no problem!"

If this were before, Sui Sui definitely wouldn't dare touch it at all.

But, having made a very good river lantern yesterday, and also being brought by Feng Xuanrui, her confidence swelled; Sui Sui thought: "I should also be able to!"

Then she followed behind Feng Xuanrui, like a little tail repeating: "I can, I can!"

"I'm the best, I'm the best!"

"I can do it, I can do it the most!"

……

Doctor Liu watched from afar, smiling as he reminded Di Jiao and Di Yu: "Looks like it should be fine; you two pay more attention and keep an eye on things."

The two responded obediently.

Only after actually getting his hands on it did Feng Xuanrui discover……

The kite is much harder than the river lantern!

The semi-finished kites that Qing Shan bought back were none to Feng Xuanrui's liking.

He disliked them, tossed the semi-finished products to the side, put his hands on his hips, raised his chin, and declared boldly: "Sister, let you see how awesome I am; let's start from scratch and make it!"

"Let's make a big tiger!"

"Pink!"

……

Sui Sui cooperated fully, repeating and raising both hands: "Brother is the most awesome!"

The heroic young lad also didn't forget his sister's favorite pink color.

Qing Shan and Qing Shui sat there, grimly beginning to split bamboo.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, then tacitly withdrew, thinking: "Young master, take it easy!"

Never mind whether the tiger has pink or not; just this kite frame—can you really put it together?

The second watch is at 19:00.
