Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1007 - 1003: Naughty Dou Dou

"Fourth Aunt, Si Yuan might be coming back today. Prepare a bit more for dinner."

Ruan Hongzhuang walked into the kitchen and instructed the busy Fourth Aunt at the stove.

Without stopping her work, Fourth Aunt turned back with a smile, "Should I add another dish? But looking at the amount now, just adding a couple more pairs of bowls and chopsticks should be enough."

"You haven’t witnessed his appetite," Ruan Hongzhuang shook her head with a smile, "Si Yuan is a real big eater; we should prepare extra just to be safe."

Having said that, she turned and gave a few detailed instructions to Mao Sanmei, who was helping pick vegetables.

She knew well Shen Siyuan’s astonishing appetite.

Mao Sanmei, upon hearing, had a look of sudden realization. So that’s what Tang Tang was gesturing about for a long time earlier.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Taozi was holding Tang Tang and kept asking inquisitively, "Tang Tang, is Si Yuan really coming back? How do you know? Tell Auntie, quick."

But Tang Tang was like a little carp out of water, squirming back and forth in Taozi’s arms, kicking her tiny legs restlessly, humming "han~han~" without paying attention to the questions, just wanting to break free.

"Just let her go; asking is useless," Ruan Hongzhuang came over and rescued Tang Tang, "She probably doesn’t know what’s going on herself, it’s all based on intuition."

As soon as she spoke, Tang Tang slipped away from Taozi’s arms like a nimble eel.

This time, instead of heading to the living room to find Xiao Ya, she dashed straight towards the balcony.

"Look."

Ruan Hongzhuang tilted her chin, signaling Taozi to look towards the balcony.

"Look at what?" Taozi was puzzled, full of confusion.

Ruan Hongzhuang sighed helplessly, sometimes wondering how someone could be so dense.

On the balcony, Tang Tang was already standing on her tiptoes, gazing up at the sky.

The sunset had just faded, leaving a glow in the sky that painted half of it a warm golden-red, with the clouds radiant and mesmerizing.

But obviously, Tang Tang wasn’t looking at the picturesque sunset, but something deeper and invisible to ordinary eyes.

Suddenly, she puffed up her round little cheeks and blew several gusts into the air.

Miraculously, a gentle breeze quietly rose, spiraled above the balcony momentarily, and gradually gathered strength, turning into a howling wind that swept across the entire neighborhood.

The leaves rustled, the flagpole by the road flapped wildly in the wind, and even the clothes hanging outside were blown into the air.

"Oh ho~"

Tang Tang waved her little hands in excitement, cheering toward the sky, her face filled with joy and anticipation.

"Look at her like that, do you still need to ask?" Ruan Hongzhuang said with a laugh to Taozi, "It must be Si Yuan coming back; this child has always had a special bond with him."

"How about... you call Si Yuan to confirm?" Taozi, still a bit uneasy, suggested softly.

"If you want to call, do it yourself," Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at her irritably, but her heart secretly stirred with anticipation.

At this time, Xiao Ya ran past the two, her little legs moving swiftly, heading straight for the balcony.

In these two months in Bin Hai, Xiao Ya seemed like a different person.

The once pale, thin, timid look had disappeared; now she was rosy and fair, her eyes bright and full of healthy spirit, a stark contrast to before.

Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi waited expectantly, but until night fell completely and Fourth Aunt laid the dishes on the table, Shen Siyuan’s figure was still absent.

Taozi, who had been sprightly pacing the living room, suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, weakly collapsing on the sofa, muttering, "Why isn’t he back yet? Could Tang Tang have gotten it wrong?"

Ruan Hongzhuang felt a twinge of disappointment too, and she stood up to tell Mao Sanmei, "Let’s not wait anymore, the kids must be hungry, let’s eat first."

"I’m not hungry," Xiao Ya whispered, still gazing towards the balcony.

She had already understood who everyone was waiting for, holding onto full anticipation, unwilling to give up.

"Oh~ oh..."

Tang Tang also ran to the middle of the living room, pointing towards the balcony, nodding her little head as if to say "wait a little longer, wait a little longer," her eyes exceptionally determined.

Ruan Hongzhuang opened her mouth, just about to persuade the children.

Suddenly, from the balcony came Dou Dou’s crisp and loud voice, "Hello everyone! I’m baaack~"

"Han~"

Tang Tang’s eyes lit up, immediately turning around and scurrying towards the balcony with quick steps.

Taozi, who just stood from the sofa, also prepared to head to the balcony, paused abruptly, puzzlingly asked, "Wait! Isn’t she deaf to what others say? How can she respond?"

"Uh... who knows, maybe it’s not about hearing, but about what she wants," Ruan Hongzhuang replied.

Taozi didn’t quite understand the meaning of this and didn’t bother to ask because she already heard the familiar sound of footsteps.

She hurriedly walked toward the balcony, and as she turned the corner, she ran straight into Shen Siyuan, who just walked in from the balcony.

"Si Yuan!" Taozi’s eyes instantly sparkled with surprise and joy, and after a cry, she jumped directly into Shen Siyuan’s arms, wrapping her legs around his waist, clinging onto him like a koala bear.

Shen Siyuan firmly supported her round bottom, feeling her soft body, with a helpless yet indulgent smile on his face, "Why so enthusiastic? It’s only been a few days, did you miss me that much?"

"Yes, she missed you so much she couldn’t sleep," Ruan Hongzhuang came over, with a tinge of jealousy in her tone.

Shen Siyuan smiled upon hearing this, gesturing her over with his hand, and after a slight hesitation, Ruan Hongzhuang walked forward.

Then she was swept into Shen Siyuan’s arms.

Meanwhile, on the balcony, Dou Dou was sharing the gifts she brought back with Tang Tang.

"It’s sweet, really delicious." Dou Dou took a green grape from her pocket.

Duoduo, upon seeing this, immediately said to Xiao Yue, "Sister Xiao Yue, I will go back now."

"Ah~ oh, let me walk you back." Xiao Yue hastily offered.

Duoduo: →_→

My house is right next door, do you really need to walk me back?

But obviously, she also understood Sister Xiao Yue’s true intention, so the two of them transformed into a gust of yin wind and landed directly on the next-door balcony. Yet, they didn’t enter inside, but instead, lay there quietly peeking.

At this time, Tang Tang was grinning foolishly as she took the grape Dou Dou handed over, popping it straight into her mouth without thinking.

Then—

"Oh woo~"

Tang Tang’s little face scrunched up, but she tried hard to keep her eyes wide open, as she was very angry now.

"Naughty Dou Dou." She angrily lunged at Dou Dou.

But Dou Dou had anticipated this, instantly transforming into a gust of yin wind, flying out towards the balcony.

Suddenly, a strong wind rose up behind, slamming her flat against the wall with a thud.

"Han~"

Tang Tang stood triumphantly with her hands on her hips, although now she was drooling even more.
