Little Yuanzi happened to witness this scene from the shadows.
Her pupils dilated in shock.
Had the big bad second brother had a personality transplant?
Niannian stood there, stunned for a long time. It wasn't until Yusheng came out of Zhao Tang's room that she snapped back to reality.
She patted her chest lightly, looking still shaken.
Phew~
Why did the non - scowling second brother seem a bit scary?
Niannian automatically imagined Yusheng coaxing her in the same tone he used for Zhao Tang.
Suddenly, she felt uncomfortable all over.
At that time, she didn't know what "shivering with cold" meant. If she did, this word would surely fill her mind right now.
The sudden change in her second brother was just an episode for her.
Niannian still couldn't bring herself to like her second brother.
"Hey, little one, why do you look so glum?"
When Niannian returned to her room, the ghost of an old man with a white beard floated over to her.
The Yu family villa was full of ghosts from top to bottom.
Niannian had seen them on her first day back home.
Even in the room she was staying in, there were originally many floating souls. But because she had been drawing talismans diligently these days, the ghosts felt the threat from the talismans and kept their distance. Only this white - bearded grandpa insisted on floating in her room.
Niannian had thought about getting rid of them, but these ghosts were good ones with deep obsessions.
Their obsessions were so deep that the underworld wouldn't take them. Since they hadn't harmed anyone, killing them would damage one's yin virtue. And since she couldn't drive them away, she had to coexist with them peacefully.
Sometimes, Little Yuanzi even thought it was nice that the ghost grandpa stayed.
At least when she forgot to turn off the lights at night, she didn't have to crawl out of her little blanket. She just had to call out to the ghost grandpa to turn off the lights.
Hey, it was quite convenient.
"Nothing much. I just think the second brother seemed a bit strange today."
As soon as the ghost grandpa heard this, he immediately understood.
A hint of melancholy appeared on his face, and he said softly, "Actually, Yusheng is not a bad kid at heart. He's a very kind - hearted child..."
"He was lively, polite, and had a really good temper when he was a kid. He never got angry with anyone. Maybe it's because he's in his rebellious phase. His temper has been getting more and more irritable in recent years."
The ghost grandpa didn't know how long he had been living in the villa.
Niannian didn't ask, and he didn't say. But it seemed that he had been floating around the villa a long time ago.
"Really? Grandpa can't lie to kids."
Niannian recalled Yusheng's face and couldn't believe it.
From head to toe, every bit of her second brother seemed to scream, "I'm irritable. Stay away from me."
Good - tempered when he was a kid?
Niannian hardly dared to believe it.
As the saying goes, it's easier to change a mountain or a river than one's nature.
People do change their mindsets as they grow older, but their essence doesn't change.
A petty person will never learn to be generous, and an irritable person will never learn to be gentle.
No matter what changes happen during the growth process, a person's personality won't reverse so drastically.
But...
Who cares?
Even if the second brother became a good - tempered one, she still wouldn't like him very much.
Intuitively, she just felt repulsed by the idea of getting close to Yusheng.
At most, they could just stay out of each other's way, and she would reluctantly protect the second brother. But getting close was out of the question.
Niannian didn't continue this topic with the ghost grandpa.
She might as well draw a few more talismans with this time.
Early the next morning, Niannian was surprised to see Yu Shanhe as soon as she opened her eyes.
Little Yuanzi rubbed her still - sleepy eyes and called out softly, "Dad."
"Hey! Baby, do you know what day it is today?"
What day?
Niannian thought carefully. It didn't seem to be any special day.
Seeing Little Yuanzi so confused, Yu Shanhe knew that the child had forgotten her own birthday.
He lovingly stroked Niannian's head and said, "Today is our baby's birthday. Dad has booked a hotel and is going to throw you a grand birthday party. Are you happy?"
This reminder suddenly made Niannian's eyes light up.
Right!
She had forgotten that it was her birthday.
The little girl didn't know what a party was. All she knew was that on her birthday, there would be a lot of delicious food and a big cake.
Instinctively, she felt very happy.
Little Yuanzi nodded vigorously and showed a big smile.
"Happy!"
"Get up quickly and wash up. Dad will take you to try on clothes."
Looking at his daughter's soft and cute appearance, Yu Shanhe's heart melted.
He gently picked Niannian out of the blanket and urged the little dumpling to wash up.
Niannian washed up quite quickly.
She didn't skip her daily morning practice. After paying respects to the master, she went out with her dad.
Yu Shanhe first took Niannian to a styling studio.
Although Little Yuanzi didn't know what this place was for, she was very obedient and let others do what they wanted.
Three hours later, a delicate little dumpling emerged.
From head to toe, she had undergone a qualitative transformation.
The customized blue butterfly princess dress sparkled in the light. A delicate diamond hairpin on her head added a bit of playfulness.
Her well - groomed hair was smooth and black, cascading down like a waterfall.
It made her already delicate and cute little face look even more beautiful.
Since Niannian came back, she had always worn a Taoist bun and a simple Taoist robe and ran around the streets.
Except for sportswear, none of the clothes Yu Shanhe had prepared had been worn by Niannian.
This was the first time the old father had seen Little Yuanzi in a dress.
When he held the newly - made delicate little one in his arms, he was truly amazed.
Aah!
I'm dying!
His daughter was so cute!
The old father howled like a marmot inside. He immediately decided that such a cute daughter shouldn't be admired by only him.
Under the pretext of going back to the company to get some documents, he showed her off.
The employees in the company who liked kids were green with envy.
After showing her off for a long time, he took Niannian to grab a quick bite at noon. They didn't go to the hotel where the party was held until evening.
For this birthday party, Yu Shanhe not only wanted to compensate his daughter but also wanted to introduce his daughter's identity.
He wanted to avoid situations like the one with the chubby kid who looked down on people. He didn't want others to think his daughter was just a country bumpkin who could be bullied at will.
After the party started, everything went smoothly.
After introducing Yuanzi and cutting the cake, the adults went to socialize.
There were bodyguards at the entrance of the party venue, so there was no risk of kids getting lost. The parents were all very relieved.
At this moment, Little Yuanzi was holding the biggest piece of cake her dad had left for her and munching on it.
The milky flavor filled her mouth. It was incredibly delicious.
Little Yuanzi's eyes curved into crescents as she ate. She was in a great mood.
The only regret was that her master and senior brothers weren't present at this year's birthday.
Little Yuanzi began to miss the days on the mountain again.
Although there weren't as many people and it wasn't as lively on the mountain during her birthdays, she had always had a great time.
This year, she always felt that something was missing.
Just as the little adult was munching on the cake and missing the past, the spoilsport showed up again.
"Country bumpkin, give me the hairpin on your head."
