Chapter 269: Gentle Big Brother

Sui Sui is curious about big brother.

Feng Xuanze is also very curious about Sui Sui, this little sister.

He hasn't returned to the manor this month, yet he still knows the outside news.

They only went to study, not to be exiled, and know nothing.

Therefore, outside information often comes in.

Feng Xuanze knows that Xiao Liu returned safely to the manor, and also brought back a little sister.

Soon after, this little sister became a proper little princess of Qi Wang Fu.

When Feng Xuanze was teased by his classmates, he also wondered in his heart what his new little sister would be like.

At first, Feng Xuanze's demands weren't high; it would be fine as long as the other side didn't have the surname Car.

After all, the annoyance level of Car Maid…

Feng Xuanze is already too lazy to say more.

Later, learning that the other party had nothing to do with Car Manor, and that everyone from Car Manor had gone to Da Li Si Tianlao, presumably for a crime, Feng Xuanze breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing this little sister is unrelated to the Car family, Feng Xuanze's anticipation was fully revived.

He also hopes that this child…

is a likable one.

At least, can make Mother Consort happy.

Now seeing the person, seeing these eyes, Feng Xuanze thought…

Just by looking at Father King's and Mother Consort's level of pampering Sui Sui, one knows this little sister must be very delightful.

Not only Father King and Mother Consort like her; Feng Xuanze considers himself already a little adult with mature thoughts, yet when he sees Sui Sui, he still can't help but focus his gaze on her.

After he checked his younger brothers' studies, he instinctively turned his head toward Sui Sui, meeting the little girl's round, curious eyes.

Very pretty.

These eyes look a lot like Xiao Liu's when he was little.

Looking at these familiar and beautiful eyes, Feng Xuanze's heart softened a bit.

He leaned in slightly and asked gently, "Sui Sui, is there anything you still want to eat? Big brother will get it for you."

Sui Sui is being well fed by Father King.

Today's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is truly fresh; the ingredients inside have all been stewed to perfection.

In the past, in the village, ingredients like abalone and sea cucumber, which one might never see in a lifetime, can now be scooped into her bowl whenever Sui Sui wishes.

She was fed by Father King, eating half a sea cucumber, a few bites of abalone, also eating dried scallops and pork belly, and sipping some broth.

The child's appetite isn't big; Mother Consort also added a small piece of spare rib and a little lamb chop.

Sui Sui felt already full, but didn't want to go against big brother's intention, so she thought and whispered, "I want to eat fruit."

On the table there are fresh cherries, peaches, and melons.

When Sui Sui said she wanted fruit, Feng Xuanze replied with a smile, then picked some of each, placed them into a clean small bowl, then with one hand lifted the bowl, the other holding new chopsticks, gently plucked a cherry.

The round cherry is hard to pick, but Feng Xuanze's hand was steady; after plucking it, he gently presented it before Sui Sui.

Prince Qi had just turned his head to speak with Princess Consort, felt Sui Sui moving in his arms, instinctively turned to look, and then saw his eldest son feeding Sui Sui fruit.

Seeing this scene, Prince Qi couldn't help but squint and smile.

Feng Xuanze sensed Father King's gaze, lifted his head, curled his lips in a smile, but soon withdrew his eyes and looked back at Sui Sui.

Sui Sui loves gentle big brother, so she obediently opened her mouth, the cherry reached her, and she softly said, "Thank you, big brother, you're the best."

Feng Xuanrui was originally bowing his head to eat dry rice; hearing the voice, he quickly looked up at Sui Sui, pouted plaintively, and asked pitifully, "Sister, isn't brother good?"

Sui Sui, caught by brother, wasn't flustered, wildly nodded and vaguely replied, "Alright, brother, you're the best!"

Seeing Sui Sui's earnest attempt to carry water, Prince Qi couldn't help but want to laugh.

However, he restrained himself, not wanting to scare the child.

Feng Xuan Yu sat opposite Feng Xuanrui; seeing sixth brother pouting, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but before the laugh escaped, Ren Ce Fei gave him a hard pinch.

Feng Xuan Yu, puzzled, tilted his head and asked bewildered and plaintively, "Mother Consort, why are you pinching me?"

Ren Ce Fei: "Sin, sin, do you understand?"

Ren Ce Fei wanted to scold him with her face, but feared her simple son wouldn't understand, so she whispered, "Eat your rice properly."

Feng Xuan Yu, interrupted, also forgot what he had intended to do.

Moreover, today's lamb chop is truly good, perfectly cooked, fragrant and tender; he could even have another bowl of rice!

Feng Xuan Yu quickly lowered his head to eat dry rice.

Feng Xuanze leisurely fed Sui Sui fruit.

Sui Sui was already full, so she couldn't eat much fruit.

After giving a bite of each kind, Feng Xuanze stopped feeding more, fearing he might overfeed the child.

Not wanting Sui Sui to be greedy, Feng Xuanze quickly asked softly, "Sister, have you started enlightenment? Have you made any friends lately?"

Earlier, while testing the younger brothers' lessons, Feng Xuanze had already extracted key information from their conversation.

Sui Sui has recently begun attending Small Classroom with them, and she even has two fairly good companions.

Sui Sui doesn't know that big brother already roughly knows her situation in the manor.

When big brother asked, she obediently nodded, "Yes, big brother, I go to Small Classroom, but some things I don't understand yet, and I also met Mengmeng Jiejie and Tangtang Jiejie."

Feng Xuanze just wanted casual small talk, to distract his sister's attention so she wouldn't focus so much on food.

So he quickly followed Sui Sui's words, asking, "Which family is Mengmeng Jiejie from? And who is Tangtang Jiejie?"

……

Feng Xuanze's temperament is gentle, his voice soft; when speaking to Sui Sui, he even lowers his head, accommodating her height as much as possible.

Sui Sui really likes chatting with older brother, doesn't need to worry that the other won't understand what she says, nor need to worry that her expression is too childish, or unclear.

Just need to speak confidently, older brother always has a response.

This made Sui Sui's desire to express rise again.

When they had finished eating and were about to leave the table, Feng Xuanze, relying on his skill, already had Sui Sui in his arms, speaking softly.

Feng Xuan Yu finished his meal, then wanted to pay attention to his little sister, and discovered……

Eh?

Older brother already has the little sister in his arms?

But he hasn't hugged her yet.

Seeing this, Feng Xuan Yu felt somewhat wronged, strode over, without needing to squeeze, the other brothers automatically made way.

What a joke, with second brother's build, you'd squeeze him?

You don't want to live anymore?

So, move aside, everyone move aside!

Feng Xuan Yu walked over smoothly, like a huge humanoid dog, his round eyes staring wide, his expression very aggrieved: 'Little sister, want a hug.'

Sui Sui was listening to older brother talk about how the food at the Imperial Academy's cafeteria wasn't very tasty; sometimes the stir-fried dishes even forgot to add salt, and they could only make do with eating it.

Sui Sui's standards for food were getting higher and higher; knowing the dish lacked salt, she also opened her mouth in surprise: 'How can this be?'

Just as she was listening, she heard second brother's loud voice booming near her ear.

At a certain moment, Sui Sui felt a buzzing ringing in her ears.
