Tang Yuanyuan. A fitting name for the little girl.
She had round eyes and a round body.
Every part of her was round. Her name was indeed meant for her.
“Yuanyuan.” Han Muzi wiped the corner of Tang Yuanyuan’s mouth. Gently, she said, “Come and meet this little brother, alright?”
“Okay!” Tang Yuanyuan’s voice was cute and soft, just like her.
Mrs. Ye had given her many types of food to eat, so she liked her very much and listened to everything she said.
“This is my son, Little Bean.”
Upon hearing, Little Bean frowned with dissatisfaction. “Mummy, that’s my pet name. How can you tell her my pet name?”
“Both of you are just kids. What’s wrong with telling her your pet name?”
“Brother, what’s your real name?” Unexpectedly, Tang Yuanyuan ventured to ask Little Bean his name.
Little Bean smiled delightedly, “Listen carefully. My name has four words—Yuchi Yishu.”
Tang Yuanyuan didn’t seem to recognize these four words. Still, she watched Little Bean’s mouth closely, and tried to repeat these words. It resulted in her saying Little Bean’s name haltingly yet seriously.
Hearing those words, Little Bean couldn’t help but fall for the adorable side of Tang Yuanyuan. Also, since he was older than her, he walked toward her and patted her on the head.
“Well done! Call me ‘brother’ and I will treat you to some chocolate.”
I just have to call him ‘brother’ and I can have chocolates? Tang Yuanyuan loved anyone who gave her food. From the moment when she was born, she only bowed to one thing, and that was food.
“Brother!” Tang Yuanyuan pulled on Little Bean’s shirt with her chubby little hand. “Brother! Brother! Thank you, brother!”
She had never been stingy when it came to people who gave her food. That was why she generously called him ‘brother’ numerous times. It was rare for Little Bean to be called and treated by girls in this manner.
Before his little sister—Little Sprout—was born, he had actually envisioned this scenario a few times. He always felt helpless because his own sister rarely called him ‘brother’. Although Little Bean tried to teach her often, Little Sprout always called him ‘Baba’, making him furious.
He even felt that Little Sprout was siding with his father. That could be why she insisted on calling him ‘Baba’ no matter how hard he tried to correct her.
Tang Yuanyuan’s words had pierced straight to his heart.
When Han Muzi saw the entire exchange, she said softly to Little Bean, “Mummy has to look after Little Sprout for a while. Can you help me to look after Tang Yuanyuan?”
Little Bean nodded obediently. “Okay, Mummy.”
After Han Muzi left, Tang Yuanyuan blinked her big round eyes and looked at Little Bean, but he showed no reaction, so she played with her fingers nervously.
Moments later, Tang Yuanyuan raised her head impatiently and looked at Little Bean again.
However, she didn’t open her mouth to remind Little Bean about the chocolate he had promised her. Her mother had told her not to ask for food from others because it was rude, and people would dislike her.
If a person is willing to give you something, they will surely give it to you even without you asking.
Even though Tang Yuanyuan loved to eat, she still had her own principles.
When Little Bean realized her eyes were brimming with desire but she didn’t even ask for anything, he eventually asked her, “I don’t have any chocolate with me now, but I can take you along to buy some. Would you dare to go out with me?”
Eh?
Tang Yuanyuan glanced at him and nodded her head profusely. “Brother, I’m willing to go with you!”
“Alright. Follow me then.”
Upon hearing that, Tang Yuanyuan climbed down from the chair and followed right behind Little Bean. Compared to her short round legs, Little Bean had impossibly long legs, so his steps were naturally bigger when he walked. Unfortunately, Tang Yuanyuan’s footsteps were half of that of the average person; all she could do was to run and keep up with Little Bean.
She could keep up with him at first, but after some distance, Tang Yuanyuan started to pant tiredly. She looked at the tall figure walking in front of her, but she didn’t dare ask him to slow down.
At this moment, Little Bean felt that something was a little off, so he stopped to look at Tang Yuanyuan.
Tang Yuanyuan was running with all her might. When she saw that Little Bean had stopped, she almost couldn’t stop in time. Luckily, Little Bean held out his hand to stabilize her.
Noticing her panting, he realized that he was walking much too fast just now. He immediately slowed down his steps, unconsciously glancing at Tang Yuanyuan’s short legs.
Just like her name, her legs were short and round.
Although Tang Yuanyuan was chubby, she had a glowy complexion, with big round sparkly eyes and pretty pink lips. She was indeed an adorable chubby girl.
Little Bean couldn’t resist pinching her cheek.
“Brother?” Tang Yuanyuan tilted her head at him.
Seeing her reaction, Little Bean couldn’t resist himself again and pinched her cheek once more.
Such chubby cheeks.
Looking at her expression, Little Bean pulled his hand back. “It’s nothing. Are you tired from running? We can walk slowly.”
Although Tang Yuanyuan was still young, she knew that he was giving in to her. Her own mother used to carry her when she walked slowly.
It was different with this brother. He was not her mother, but he was willing to stop and wait for her; he was indeed a caring person.
Therefore, Tang Yuanyuan said to him sweetly, “Thank you, Brother.”
Then, Little Bean continued to walk with her, before going to find the chauffeur to bring them to a shopping mall near Seabay Villa.
Concerned for the two kids, the chauffeur said, “Little Young Master, let me go in with you.”
Unexpectedly, Little Bean shook his head. “It’s fine. Both of us will go in together. We’ll be back in a little while.”
Little Bean was an intelligent boy. Judging by his looks, they should be alright, so the chauffeur agreed.
And so, Little Bean and Tang Yuanyuan went in to buy some chocolates.
Initially, they were planning on buying chocolate. However, along the way, Tang Yuanyuan was distracted by the cotton candy on the shelf; she kept staring at it and wouldn’t move.
Little Bean noticed that she wasn’t keeping up, so he turned, only to find her staring at the cotton candy.
As soon as she realized he was looking at her, Tang Yuanyuan blushed and looked down shyly.
Just then, much to her surprise, Little Bean walked toward her and took the cotton candy from the shelf, asking, “How many do you want?”
