Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1115 - 1111: Missile

"Wow, she seems like such a passionate person."

Watching Lin Manzhi return to her seat with a cup, Taozi couldn’t help but comment.

"Yeah, indeed." Shen Siyuan nodded, "When I used to work, she really took good care of me."

"I find that you’re actually quite popular."

Ruan Hongzhuang blinked curiously and asked, "So why haven’t you found a girlfriend yet?"

"You’re even jealous of this?" Shen Siyuan chuckled, "I already said we’re just friends."

"Not at all, I just asked casually, don’t overthink it." Ruan Hongzhuang said naturally.

But somehow, these words seemed a bit intriguing.

"Maybe he’s had an ex-girlfriend and just hasn’t been honest about it." Taozi added fuel to the fire on the side.

Through the table, Shen Siyuan reached out and pinched her cheek.

"You’re the smartest, you talk the most."

"Don’t bully Aunt."

Dou Dou immediately struck an Ultraman pose, full of vigor, "Otherwise... I’ll destroy you!"

"Destroy me?"

Shen Siyuan reversed and pinched her little face, "I think sorting you out first would be more likely."

"Aunt, save me~" Dou Dou immediately turned to Taozi for help.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, let’s eat hotpot, be careful not to burn yourself." Ruan Hongzhuang laughed and smoothed things over.

This interruption stopped Ruan Hongzhuang from pursuing further questions.

She had only mentioned it casually originally.

After all, those were past matters, even if true, Shen Siyuan had no reason to hide them from her.

Seeing this, Shen Siyuan said no more and extended his chopsticks to fish out a slice of lamb from the boiling hotpot.

The next second, Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi extended their bowls almost simultaneously.

"Um..."

Shen Siyuan’s chopsticks paused in mid-air, changed direction, and placed the lamb into Tang Tang’s bowl.

"Ah～"

Tang Tang immediately grinned, giving him a silly smile, skillfully gobbling the meat into her mouth, then obediently extending the empty bowl again.

Taozi and Ruan Hongzhuang laughed together.

However, Dou Dou was discontent, protesting with cheek puffed up: "Why give it to Tang Tang and not me? Brother Potato, aren’t you supposed to love me the most?"

"Wishful thinking."

Duoduo mercilessly quipped from the side, "You’re Dou Dou, not Tang Tang, Tang Tang eats sweet, Dou Dou eats fart Dodo."

Dou Dou instantly bristled.

"You’re the fart Dodo, you’re the bad Duoduo."

She fumed like a popcorn about to pop.

"I’m not a bean."

Duoduo smugly said, "I’m Yun Duo, a beautiful Yun Duo."

Dou Dou couldn’t think of a counter, so she turned to Taozi for help, looking aggrieved: "Why did Dad and Mom name me Dou Dou, it doesn’t sound nice at all."

"Who says it doesn’t sound nice?" Taozi laughed to comfort her, "Dou Dou is just your nickname, your full name is Tao Hongdou, Red Bean, it’s lovely."

"It’s still a bean." Dou Dou remained sulky.

"Red Bean～Big Red Bean～Taro～Mung Bean～Pearl～Mee Tai Mu..."

Duoduo clapped and sang, it was quite an old song, surprising everyone with her knowledge.

Sitting beside them, Xiao Yue struggled to hold back her laughter, shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

Dou Dou was really upset now, tears brimming, utterly miserable.

"Aunt, I don’t want to be called Dou Dou anymore." She sobbed to Taozi.

"What do you want to be called then?" Taozi asked, half amused, half exasperated.

Is such a trivial matter worth getting so upset over?

"I... I want to be called Great Shark." Dou Dou stated.

"Pfft, Great Shark?" Taozi nearly spat out the water she had just sipped.

From across the table, Ruan Hongzhuang and Shen Siyuan couldn’t stop giggling.

"Why do you want that name?"

"Because Great Sharks are mighty, they can swallow Duoduo in one bite." Dou Dou glanced sideways at Duoduo.

"Hmph~, sharks are in the sea, I’m in the sky, how will you reach me?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Duoduo looked at Dou Dou as if she were foolish, making Dou Dou even more irritable.

Luckily, she knew she couldn’t win against Duoduo, or she might have lunged to fight.

"Then I... then I’ll be called Missile, zooming up into the sky to blast you away."

"Missile?"

This time, not only Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang, but even Xiao Yue and Xiao Ya couldn’t hold their laughter.

"I think it’s a fitting name, from now on let’s call you Little Troublemaker." Shen Siyuan laughed.

Then he placed a slice of lamb in her bowl.

Seeing this, Dou Dou smugly looked at Duoduo.

Duoduo saw this and immediately gave Shen Siyuan a pitiful look, her big eyes seemed to ask why she didn’t get any.

Sighing, Shen Siyuan also gave her a bite, then turning around, saw Xiao Yue staring directly at him.

Shen Siyuan: ...

So, he gave her a bite too.

Xiao Yue’s cheeks flushed, "I could’ve done it myself."

Seeing her say one thing and mean another, Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi exchanged knowing smiles.

Beside Xiao Yue, Xiao Ya said nothing, only holding her bowl timidly.

Seeing her like this, Shen Siyuan couldn’t bear to be unfair, so he gave her some lamb too.

But his round of "fair feeding" irritated Tang Tang.

She waited with her small bowl for ages without receiving anything, so she puffed her little mouth.

"Whew~"

"Stop."

Shen Siyuan’s quick reflexes clamped her little mouth shut.

If she blew out, this hotpot meal would likely be over.

Tang Tang’s face flushed from having her mouth covered, her eyes wide.

"Mmm mmm..."

She grumbled, wriggling a little, her small hands defiantly slapping Shen Siyuan’s hand.

"Alright, alright, here you go." Shen Siyuan couldn’t help laughing at her antics and hurriedly released her, placing a big slice of lamb in her bowl, "Little ancestor, nearly overturned the pot."

Tang Tang finally satisfied, buried her face in the bowl, cheeks bulging like a little hamster.

With the kids around, by the time they finished the hotpot, Lin Manzhi and the others had already left.

Ruan Hongzhuang went to settle the bill but the server informed them it was paid; no guessing who did it.

"You have her contact, right? Transfer to her via WeChat." Ruan Hongzhuang suggested.

"Better not, that might seem too formal, let’s invite her for a meal next time." Shen Siyuan replied.

"That works too, but make sure to thank her." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Shen Siyuan took out his phone and sent Lin Manzhi a message.

Taozi chimed in, "Even saying this, we’ll probably contact her less often in the future."

Ruan Hongzhuang agreed and said to Shen Siyuan, "Share her WeChat contact with me."

Without much thought, Shen Siyuan shared Lin Manzhi’s WeChat with Ruan Hongzhuang.

On the way back, Ruan Hongzhuang chatted with Lin Manzhi, nobody knew what they were discussing.
