Auntie is back.
These words worked better than anything else, as the three confrontational people, like three squirrels, turned their heads in unison, all looking with the same curvature towards Nian Shutong approaching from the opposite side of the creek.
At this moment, Dou Dou had already started running joyfully toward Nian Shutong, who was walking in the morning light.
"Auntie——"
Dou Dou spread his little arms, his posture clearly begging for a hug.
Nian Shutong set down the Little Pink Pig she was carrying, squatted down, and opened her arms just as wide, embracing Dou Dou who rushed towards her.
"Auntie, I missed you so much!"
"Auntie, Dou Dou has been super good, listening to Uncle Xiao He."
"Also, also, Auntie, Dou Dou has memorized the Three Character Classic!"
"You said you'd take Dou Dou out to play!"
Dou Dou chattered non-stop, his light tone tinged with excitement.
His voice buzzed in Nian Shutong's ears, instantly making the scene lively.
