Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1191 - 1187: Smarty Candy

Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang had just pushed open the door to their home.

Before they could change their shoes, a small figure dashed out from the living room, with tiny legs pattering loudly on the floor. It was none other than Tang Tang.

Shen Siyuan, quick-eyed and nimble-handed, bent down and caught the little rascal rushing over into his arms. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, he found Tang Tang pouting, her eyes red and looking as if she had suffered a huge injustice. Her normally bright eyes were now misty with tears, and even her nose was red.

"What’s wrong? Who bullied our Tang Tang now?" Shen Siyuan asked, somewhat surprised.

Ruan Hongzhuang, who followed behind and was changing her shoes, couldn’t help but laugh out loud when she heard this: "Who else could it be? It’s definitely Dou Dou. These little ones can’t go a day without having at least three squabbles."

"Oh~"

Tang Tang immediately nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice, her little head nuzzling against Shen Siyuan’s chest, confirming that it was indeed Dou Dou who bullied her.

Then, she stretched out her chubby little hands, grabbed her cheeks, and pulled hard to demonstrate how Dou Dou had bullied her, making muffled "han~han~" sounds as she did so.

Shen Siyuan was amused and quickly removed her hands, gently rubbing her cheeks that had turned red from pulling, "Okay, okay, demonstrating is fine, but do you have to pull so hard? Your little face is all pinched red, doesn’t it hurt?"

Tang Tang shook her head, still pouting, and snuggled back into his embrace, looking pitiful and in need of backing.

At that moment, Taozi walked over from the living room sofa with half a tangerine in hand, smiling as she greeted, "You’re back! Are auntie and the baby well?"

This morning, Shen Siyuan had specially accompanied Ruan Hongzhuang to visit Jiang Yingxue and the baby.

"How could they not be? There are nannies and aunties taking care of everything, not a hint of worry needed."

Ruan Hongzhuang replied with a smile, her eyes relaxed. "My mom is now in high spirits, even more than me. Thanks to Si Yuan, her health is now better than a girl in her early twenties, and the baby is chubby and very well-behaved."

"han~han..."

Everyone was engrossed in conversation, completely ignoring the little one in his arms, causing Tang Tang to become upset.

She wiggled her little legs in Shen Siyuan’s arms and grabbed his ear, pulling him in the direction of the room, wriggling her body and urgently mumbling, clearly intending to take Shen Siyuan to the room to confront Dou Dou.

"Can’t do that."

Shen Siyuan gently tapped her little nose, "Kids should solve their issues among themselves; adults shouldn’t interfere arbitrarily."

Hearing this, Tang Tang’s little brows furrowed immediately.

She tilted her head in thought for a while, then extended a chubby little index finger, rubbing it in the air, followed by joining two fingers to form a crooked heart shape, looking at Shen Siyuan with a soft "Oh? Oh?" sound, her eyes full of pleading.

Shen Siyuan understood her gesture.

She was signaling that she was out of energy and asking how she could get recharged to confront Dou Dou.

"Didn’t Sister Xiao Yue tell you? Doing that is very dangerous." Shen Siyuan said, pretending to be stern.

Upon hearing this, Tang Tang instantly deflated like a balloon, her small shoulders drooping, and her head hung low, resting against Shen Siyuan’s chest like a drenched kitten, letting out a dejected "Oh," losing all her spirit.

Feeling soft-hearted, Shen Siyuan set her down from his arms, squatted to her level, and whispered an idea in her ear: "If you really can’t beat her and feel upset, find someone who can manage her to help you."

As he said this, Tang Tang’s drooping head immediately perked up, and her previously misty eyes suddenly brightened, like two little stars lighting up.

Ruan Hongzhuang heard it loud and clear from the side and playfully slapped Shen Siyuan on the back: "Is this how you teach a child? Don’t lead them astray."

"How is this leading them astray?" Shen Siyuan laughed heartily, standing up. "It’s teaching them to reasonably seek help. You can’t just let the little one keep all her grievances bottled up, right?"

While they were talking, Tang Tang was already taking short, determined steps, pattering toward the kitchen.

Shen Siyuan, Ruan Hongzhuang, and Taozi exchanged a look, all curious.

Ruan Hongzhuang chuckled, "Is she going to complain to Sister Mao?"

"It’s hard to say," Shen Siyuan raised an eyebrow and nodded toward the kitchen, "this little one has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. We’ll see soon enough."

The three of them lightened their footsteps and quietly followed.

Mao Sanmei was wearing an apron, tidying up the baking tray. Freshly baked cupcakes were cooling on the rack, their creamy tops adorned with fresh strawberries, filling the room with a sweet aroma mixed with butter.

Tang Tang dashed in, grabbing the hem of Mao Sanmei’s apron and looking up with a "han~han~" sound.

Mao Sanmei looked down and, seeing her, immediately smiled, squatting to communicate in sign language, asking if she wanted a cake.

Tang Tang nodded vigorously, her eyes fixed on the little cakes on the rack.

Unable to suppress a smile, Mao Sanmei took a clean small plate, selected three cakes, placed them on it, and handed them, along with a small fork, to Tang Tang.

She also gently advised through sign language to eat slowly, not to run too fast and fall, and not to get cream on her clothes.

Tang Tang hugged the plate, nodded forcefully, and turned around to leave.

After just a few steps, she saw Xiao Ya sitting on a small stool nearby, happily munching on a cookie.

Stopping in her tracks, Tang Tang stared at Xiao Ya for a long time, her little brows furrowing. First, she shook her head, then let out a heavy sigh, looking all grown up.

She knew full well that Xiao Ya, like her, couldn’t deal with Dou Dou, so seeking her help was useless.

After sighing, she didn’t linger and carefully cradled the cake plate, taking short, determined steps toward the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Dou Dou was lying on a mat, engrossed in her game console. Hearing the commotion at the door, she looked up to see Tang Tang entering with the cake, her eyes instantly brightening. She casually tossed the console aside, stood up, placed her hands on her hips, and said stubbornly: "What are you doing with the cake? Is it for me? Let me tell you, don’t think that giving me cake means I won’t hit you." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

But Tang Tang just snorted, tilting her head high, not sparing her a glance, and walked straight to the desk with the cake.

Xiao Yue was sitting at the desk reading a book. Hearing the noise, she looked up and saw Tang Tang holding up the cake plate with a sweet smile, eagerly offering it to her hands, while enthusiastically saying "han~han~".

Xiao Yue was taken aback, a bit surprised, her gaze shifting from the cakes in the plate to the enthusiastic Tang Tang’s face. She couldn’t help but laugh.

Reaching out to take the plate, she gently patted Tang Tang’s head and picked up the fork, taking a small bite of the cake.

Watching her intently, Tang Tang’s expression instantly changed.

Her little brows shot up, turning around in a huff to point at Dou Dou, who was still dazed, while her little legs stomped on the floor. Her mouth let out a "hou~hou~" of mock anger as she gestured repeatedly at Dou Dou, clearly indicating for Xiao Yue to deal with this bully.

Watching the entire scene from the bedroom door, Shen Siyuan and the others couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Ruan Hongzhuang laughed so hard she couldn’t stand upright, patting Shen Siyuan’s arm, barely managing to speak coherently: "Look at that... look at your brilliant idea. This little one... she even knows to find the best person to deal with Dou Dou."

Shen Siyuan’s shoulders shook with laughter, looking at Tang Tang in the bedroom with her hands on her hips, full of triumph, saying, "This little thing is even smarter than I thought, knowing that finding Xiao Yue is more effective than finding her mom."

And inside the room, Dou Dou, faced with the situation, instantly deflated.

She feared nothing more than Xiao Yue, the one who kept her in line. In that moment, she looked pitifully at Xiao Yue.

"Sister Xiao Yue, surely you won’t be bought over by one piece of cake, right?"

Xiao Yue said nonchalantly, "Of course not."

Hearing this, Dou Dou heaved a sigh of relief, a smug grin reappearing on her face.

Just then, Xiao Yue shifted her tone.

"But this is three pieces."
