Chapter 33: Can Only Brother Feed Me?

Two kids wanted to sleep together, and Liu Dafu didn't stop them.

But one blanket was impossible.

If Feng Xuanrui were also five, Liu Dafu would surely have squeezed them onto one bed.

But Feng Xuanrui is older, and Sui Sui is at this age; Liu Dafu has been teaching Sui Sui these past days to distinguish the differences between boys and girls.

As they get older, many things become less convenient.

So Feng Xuanrui ended up sleeping on the pallet, and Sui Sui slept on the bed.

Sun Ronglin heard that Feng Xuanrui and Sui Sui were sleeping together, so he also squeezed over.

Feng Xuanrui openly showed his disdain: "Don't sleep together, you take up too much space!"

Upon hearing Feng Xuanrui say he was fat, Sun Ronglin was unhappy: "You're saying it's like you don't take up space?"

Although they both disliked each other, they each gave in a bit and ended up squeezing onto the pallet.

Liu Dafu: ……

Alright then.

As long as you're happy.

Kids fall asleep quickly.

The system didn't even have time to summon someone to tell a story before Sui Sui was already sound asleep.

Knowing the three kids had fallen asleep, Liu Dafu finally felt relieved.

With Qing Shan watching over them, Liu Dafu's pressure wasn't so great, and only in the later half of the night did he gradually fall asleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Dafu was awakened by the two kids' vigorous shouting.

He got up, rubbed his face, pricked up his ears to listen for a while, then smiled helplessly.

Feng Xuanrui and Sun Ronglin squeezed together all night, and their relationship improved from the squeezing.

Yet this didn't stop them from arguing as soon as they got up.

Feng Xuanrui woke up early, and after being attended to by the two Qing Shan brothers to wash his face, he went to help wash Sui Sui.

The youth's movements were a bit unskilled, but he thought, practice makes perfect.

He now has a little sister, and from now on he must personally and carefully take good care of her.

First step, start with washing the face!

Feng Xuanrui himself needs attendance, but when it comes to Sui Sui, he is especially meticulous and very patient.

These past few days, Sui Sui's washing-up has sometimes been helped by Liu Dafu, and sometimes by Di Jiao and them.

Now that Feng Xuanrui has taken over, the brother and sister actually have little rapport.

It all depends on Feng Xuanrui's improvisation, while Sui Sui tolerates everything without limit.

Feng Xuanrui shoved the handle of the bamboo toothbrush all over Sui Sui's face, making the little girl's face red, and Sui Sui still there mindlessly praised: "Brother, you're amazing!"

"Brother, you can even do this!"

"Brother, you're too amazing!"

……

The result of Sui Sui's mindless praise was that Feng Xuanrui's confidence swelled enormously.

After painstakingly brushing Sui Sui's teeth, he then washed her face.

Washing the face is still simple; the kids aren't very dirty, just wipe them with clean water.

But Feng Xuanrui saw that the ointment on Sui Sui's head had dried, and it was from yesterday; it should be washed off and then new ointment applied.

He tried, taking a wet cloth to wash Sui Sui's head, and this wash……

The cloth wasn't wrung out dry, and the water it brought drenched Sui Sui from head to toe.

Even so, Sui Sui didn't say Brother did well, and kept praising him there.

Sui Sui truly felt that Brother was good, and her praise came straight from the heart.

She had received too little kindness before, so now even a little kindness is unconsciously magnified, and she feels grateful to the other party.

When Liu Dafu had finished tidying up and came over, he saw that Sui Sui's face was wet, her head was wet, and her clothes were soaked halfway.

Seeing this, Liu Dafu felt darkness before his eyes.

Upon closer look, their brother‑sister relationship was especially harmonious.

Moreover, Sun Ronglin was chattering away on the side: "Let me try, I'm gentle, I can wash too."

"No, why are you so stingy, just once?"

"Can't even once?"

"I also want to wash!"

……

Sun Zhifu came over uneasily, and heard that his family's beloved eldest grandson was arguing and fighting to wash someone else's face.

Sun Zhifu:?

"Can you wash your face yourself now?"

"And you're about to wash someone else?"

In the end, Sun Ronglin didn't get the chance.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Liu Dafu took Sui Sui to change her clothes.

After changing clothes, Sui Sui sat obediently, letting Liu Dafu apply the medicine.

Sun Ronglin looked and thought, "I should be able to do this job too, right?"

Although unsure, he decided to give it a try!

He stepped closer, first sniffed the ointment—it wasn't great, but it wasn't smelly either.

He edged close to Liu Dafu and whispered, "Let me try—I can apply the ointment too. Isn't it just putting medicine on my sister? I can do it, I can!"

Feng Xuanrui grew displeased, he also squeezed over and shoved Xiao Pangzi to the side: "How can you just do that? Applying medicine is such an important matter—don't mess around. If my sister doesn't grow hair later, it'll be your fault!"

Sun Ronglin rolled his eyes indifferently: "If my sister can't grow hair, I'll just shave my head and keep her company."

Feng Xuanrui:?

This person is too scheming, vying with him for my sister!

Feng Xuanrui was practically fuming: "Who wants to be bald with you? My sister will grow hair!"

Although he spoke confidently, he was still unsure inside; after Feng Xuanrui finished shouting at Sun Ronglin, he turned back and asked Liu Dafu uncertainly, "Will my sister's hair grow back, right?"

Liu Dafu, whose medical skill had been questioned, wasn't angry; instead, he lightened his hand applying the ointment and said with a smile, "Of course, Sui Sui's hair will be black, shiny, and thick—just you wait and envy it!"

Sui Sui actually didn't care either, whether she had hair or not.

She was still young, with no concept of beauty or ugliness.

But if her brother liked it, Sui Sui thought she could try hard to grow her hair well.

Thinking of this, she clenched the small hand at her side into a fist, and with a serious expression said, "Brother, rest assured, Sui Sui will work hard to grow her hair."

Hearing that, Feng Xuanrui also gained confidence: "Yeah, let's work hard together!"

Liu Dafu:.

Not bad, another day of having his medical skill questioned.

The morning's clamor hadn't ended yet.

At mealtime, over the question of who would feed Sui Sui, Feng Xuanrui and Sun Ronglin started arguing again.

Since they weren't at their own residence, the Qiu brothers didn't have any home-field advantage.

So, although both were itching to feed her, they felt too embarrassed to join the scramble.

The two kids' arguing made Liu Dafu feel like his skull was about to fly off.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and could only say in a low voice, "One bite each, Sixth Prince goes first."

Sui Sui had originally been tugging at Feng Xuanrui's sleeve, wanting to say: I want Brother to feed me.

Hearing Liu Dafu say that, Sui Sui gently withdrew her hand, and her little head drooped.

Liu Dafu, with sharp eyes, noticed the little girl's mood sinking.

This scene made Liu Dafu feel a pang in his heart; he turned sideways, lowered his voice, and asked, "Sui Sui, do you have something you want to tell Liu Ye Ye?"

Sui Sui thought, as Liu Ye Ye had said, children shouldn't lie, they must tell the truth; she pursed her lips and whispered, "Can I let only Brother feed me?"
