Chapter 60: Little bald head, very nice to touch

Prince Qing wasn't used to these social engagements; he turned around to look at Liu Dafu.

Liu Dafu was originally standing to the side watching the excitement.

Upon seeing Prince Qing looking at him, he was instantly speechless.

So, when it's time to socialize, you go ahead—what are you staring at me for?

Liu Dafu wearily stepped forward two paces, smiling as he spoke to Nan Gu Gu: 'This young lady looks refined and adorable—could she be the daughter of the Lian residence?'

Nan Gu Gu hadn't expected Liu Dafu to be able to recognize anyone.

Their master-servant entourage, walking through the city, didn't bother to conceal their identities.

These street vendors and the like were not strangers to the young masters and misses of the Lian mansion.

But Sui Sui and Feng Xuanrui's accents were clearly not from around here.

Nan Gu Gu guessed they must have come from elsewhere, not knowing the Lian adult, so she probably hadn't recognized them.

Nan Gu Gu originally didn't intend to say much; otherwise, people hearing it might think she was relying on her status to do something.

At this point, after Liu Dafu pointed it out, Nan Gu Gu didn't deny it, smiling and replying: 'Yes, the child is young and knows little; sorry for disturbing you.'

Liu Dafu looked for a while and naturally saw that the little girl had no ill intent.

It was probably just the pure curiosity of a child.

Liu Dafu also smiled: 'It's fine, kids will be kids. These are our residence's brother and sister; the girl got injured earlier, so she had her head shaved.'

Shaving one's head sometimes involves privacy.

Nan Gu Gu initially felt embarrassed to ask.

Now that Liu Dafu brought it up, she could only give a vague response, to avoid mentioning the other's painful matter.

After a simple exchange between the two adults, everyone considered themselves acquainted.

Nan Gu Gu invited everyone to have snacks; honored guests could go upstairs to enjoy them slowly.

Liu Dafu asked Prince Qing; seeing no refusal, he happily accepted Nan Gu Gu's invitation.

Lian Ruoyi brought Nan Gu Gu and two maidservants; Liu Dafu's side also had quite a few people.

Everyone went up to the second floor together; Prince Qing took a quick look around—the afternoon snack shop was empty, the second floor consisted of private rooms, and for now they were the only occupants of this room.

Seeing that it was relatively safe, Prince Qing also relaxed.

Nan Gu Gu observed the scene without changing her expression, forming a guess about the identities of Prince Qing's entourage.

Liu Dafu agreed to the invitation, and Feng Xuanrui and Sui Sui thus knew they were not bad people.

Regarding Lian Ruoyi's desire to touch his head, Sui Sui generously stretched out his head: 'Older sister, go ahead and touch.'

Lian Ruoyi looked older than Sui Sui, so Sui Sui addressed her as older sister.

Le Le said, one should be polite.

Children a bit older than oneself should be called older brother or older sister.

Those even older should be called uncle or aunt.

Sui Sui was generous; Lian Ruoyi, without pretense, reached out and gently touched his head.

Sui Sui's head already had a layer of stubble, giving a slightly prickly feeling.

Lian Ruoyi found this sensation quite wonderful.

After touching it, she couldn't resist and touched it again.

While touching, she felt as if she had touched a new world, her face full of wonder: 'Eh eh eh!'

'Ya ya ya!'

……

The little girl still had quite a few filler words.

Feng Xuanrui watched as Sui Sui obediently sat there letting people touch him, unable to help feeling sour: 'Enough, enough.'

'Alright, alright.'

'That's about enough.'

While speaking, seeing Lian Ruoyi showing no sign of stopping, Feng Xuanrui firmly pulled Sui Sui back.

Lian Ruoyi's movements were very gentle; Sui Sui felt no discomfort, just a bit itchy.

When his brother pulled him back, Sui Sui was puzzled, looking at Feng Xuanrui and then at Lian Ruoyi; a flash of insight lit his eyes: 'Brother, do you also want to touch?'

Mid-sentence, Sui Sui had already stretched his head toward Feng Xuanrui: 'Brother, go ahead and touch.'

Sui Sui didn't think his little bald head had anything special to touch.

But if the older siblings liked it, they could touch as well.

Le Le didn't stop it, meaning this behavior was allowed and not overstepping.

Seeing his sister's well-behaved appearance, Feng Xuanrui couldn't hold back either.

He originally didn't really want to touch, fearing his sister would feel inferior for lacking hair.

But at this moment, the shiny little head was stretched right before him, and thinking of Lian Ruoyi's bewildered smile when touching his head...

Feng Xuanrui made up his mind and directly reached out his hand.

Aside from a slight prickle, Feng Xuanrui felt nothing else.

He looked at Lian Ruoyi with a puzzled expression, as if asking: 'Is that it?'

However, a child wouldn't yet use such provocative words.

Lian Ruoyi strangely understood; after thinking, she tentatively explained to Feng Xuanrui: 'You don't get it—what others have and you lack always seems the best.'

Feng Xuanrui, hearing that, was stunned on the spot and blurted without thinking: 'Then you can have it too!'

It's just shaving one's head—if you want it, you can have it!

If it weren't for the fear that Father King would break his leg after they returned to Jing, Feng Xuanrui would actually be quite tempted.

Going bald together with my sister, it's not cold at all.

But Father King's stick...

Can't think about it, my heart is racing.

After hearing his words, Lian Ruoyi fell into thought.

Nan Gu Gu was still talking with Doctor Liu when she saw this scene; her heart clenched, and she didn't even have time to answer Doctor Liu, turning to say, "Oh dear, my young lady, you really can't shave!"

Lian Ruoyi didn't understand, tilting her head and asking, "Why?"

Feng Xuanrui also didn't understand, likewise tilting his head to look at Nan Gu Gu.

Sui Sui understood even less, imitating the older siblings.

The three little children, in unison, tilted their heads to the same side.

This scene is both funny and interesting to watch.

Doctor Liu couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

If it were Feng Xuanrui himself who had doubts, Nan Gu Gu thinks she could still explain.

The problem is, Sui Sui is also looking at her!

The little bald head is looking at her—what should she say?

Speaking the truth, what do we do if it hurts the child's self-esteem?

If something is said incorrectly and it makes the child cry, what then?

At a glance, it's clear they're from a wealthy, noble family; Nan Gu Gu dares not speak recklessly.

In the end, she could only smile and say, "Miss, you're still young; many things still need to be asked of the master and mistress before they can be done."

After hearing that, Lian Ruoyi nodded, "That's how it is."

Feng Xuanrui also nodded in agreement, "Indeed, otherwise your dad would beat you, right?"

Considering the other party is a little girl, the father might not be able to strike her, so Feng Xuanrui quickly changed his tone: "Even if he's reluctant to hit, he'd still scold you."

Lian Ruoyi isn't afraid of being scolded; it's just that she can't have a little bald head, which is somewhat regrettable.

She looked at the clueless Sui Sui, then reached out with both hands and rubbed Sui Sui's head, saying, "It really feels nice to touch; I like it. I'll go ask my father if I can shave."

Nan Gu Gu: ……

Farewell!

The second watch is at 19:00.
