CHAPTER 528: CHAPTER 528: SMART EGG

"Once more, once more..."

Dou Dou was incredibly excited; she had thought Tang Tang was just a little rascal who liked to annoy her, but she turned out to be so formidable.

But no matter how enthusiastically she called out, Tang Tang couldn’t hear her.

Instead, her constant bouncing attracted Tang Tang’s attention.

Tang Tang, who was sitting on Ruan Hongzhuang’s lap, directly lunged at Dou Dou.

Dou Dou went invisible, causing Tang Tang to dive face-first onto the floor.

"Haha~" Dou Dou reappeared, standing to the side, laughing gleefully.

Tang Tang’s lips quivered, tears welled up in her eyes, and she was on the verge of crying; that fall had really hurt.

Ruan Hongzhuang hurriedly picked her up with concern.

"Why are you so reckless? Even if Dou Dou hadn’t dodged, you might have gotten hurt."

Ruan Hongzhuang checked and found she wasn’t injured, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Shen Siyuan turned his head towards Xiao Yue and said, "During this time, when Tang Tang falls asleep, teach her more."

Though Tang Tang had shown various quirks, she seemed to lack a lot of common sense, acting rashly without knowing good from bad, unaware of dangers.

"Teach her when she’s asleep?" Taozi asked in surprise from across the room.

"You can enter her dreams," Shen Siyuan replied.

Since Taozi was no longer an outsider, certain things could be disclosed to her.

"Enter dreams?" Taozi became greatly interested upon hearing this.

She curiously asked, "Can you enter dreams?"

"No."

"Then why can they?"

"Because they aren’t humans," Shen Siyuan said.

Taozi was finally enlightened and showed a look of regret on her face.

As everyone was talking, they heard the doorbell ring.

"Who else could be here at this time?" Ruan Hongzhuang was a bit surprised.

"It should be Duoduo’s parents," Shen Siyuan said.

Since he moved here, besides Lin Jianming and his wife, probably only Tao Guangsha and his wife knew the location, and at this time, the most likely visitors would be Lin Jianming and his wife from across the street.

Taozi got up to open the door, but it wasn’t just Lin Jianming and his wife; they brought along three more people, a whole family.

"Taozi."

Song Qingwei smiled and greeted Taozi.

"Miss Jiang." Lin Libo also smiled and greeted Taozi.

They had met before, but weren’t familiar.

"Come in, Si Yuan guessed it was you," Taozi stepped aside, letting them in.

Lin Wentao followed behind his father, curious and peeking around.

Then he spotted his aunt indeed there, feeling very curious.

"Xiao Shen, sorry to bother you," Lin Jianming cheerfully greeted.

He then gestured to the Lin Libo couple to set down the things they were carrying.

By this time, Ruan Hongzhuang also got up to welcome everyone. As for Shen Siyuan, he remained seated, just smiling and greeting them.

Ruan Hongzhuang guided them to sit beside Shen Siyuan, while Taozi poured tea for everyone, with a clear division of duties.

"Have you had dinner?" Shen Siyuan asked casually.

"We were concerned about disturbing your dinner, so we ate beforehand," Lin Jianming said with a smile.

Then he introduced his daughter-in-law, Huang Jiayan, to everyone.

Everyone curiously sized her up, while she curiously looked at Shen Siyuan, slightly tense and apprehensive.

She already knew the story, and felt unsure of the guy’s opinion of her.

But she secretly thought, he only seemed a bit more brawny, handsome, and uniquely mannered, appearing, at first glance, no different from ordinary people.

Yet when her father-in-law introduced her, she quickly stood up to respectfully greet everyone.

"Miss Ruan, Miss Jiang, Mr. Shen, sorry for interrupting your rest. Thank you for giving me an opportunity..."

But Shen Siyuan didn’t waste time with her, directly getting to the point: "No need to thank me; just do a good job, and do it sincerely."

"Of course, we will personally handle every matter, not leave it to others," Lin Libo hurried to chime in.

Shen Siyuan nodded, wanting to test if he could obtain merit by pushing people to do good deeds, even hoping the executor would be sincere instead of just fulfilling a task or brushing up numbers to fool him.

Shen Siyuan glanced aside, and at this moment, Duoduo and Dou Dou had approached Lin Wentao.

"This is Bo Bo," Duoduo introduced to Dou Dou.

"I’m Taotao," Lin Wentao whispered.

Dou Dou nodded in seriousness.

Actually, she didn’t understand the difference between Bo Bo and Taotao.

Lin Wentao was more curious about Xiao Yue sitting aside. They were about the same age and might have more topics to discuss, but clearly, Xiao Yue didn’t seem interested in interacting.

Seeing so many people making noise, she didn’t like it, and directly went to the room to read.

"He looks like a boy," Dou Dou observed Lin Wentao, full of curiosity.

"He is a boy," Duoduo said, speechless.

"Hehe, I was teasing you; I figured it out," Dou Dou said proudly.

It’s unclear why she was proud, as this was obvious to anyone.

Originally sitting next to Shen Siyuan, Tang Tang noticed and joined them.

The three little girls surrounded Lin Wentao, as if observing a monkey, making Lin Wentao uneasy yet intrigued.

"Are you immortals?" he asked quietly.

"Immortals?" Dou Dou was delighted.

This was the first time someone called her an immortal, so she immediately placed her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Yes, I’m an immortal, a Little Immortal."

"Can you transform?"

"Transform into what?"

"An eagle, a tree, a fish..."

He was talking about the transformations of Sun Wukong from "Journey to the West."

"No, I can’t."

"Can you ride clouds and mist?"

Dou Dou thought for a moment, nodding then shaking her head.

"Can you conjure a pen that writes homework automatically?"

"Nope."

"What good are you as an immortal if you can’t do anything?"

"Tsk~" Dou Dou became unhappy upon hearing that.

"Can you chirp?"

"Of course I can."

"Can you jump?"

"Of course."

"Can you scratch an itch?"

"Who can’t do that?"

Lin Wentao spoke as he scratched his neck lightly.

"Are you a monkey then?"

"Of course not, I’m a human."

"Why not? If you can do what monkeys can, aren’t you a monkey?"

Lin Wentao: ...

Lin Wentao rubbed his chin, thinking it seemed logical but something was off.

"He’s so silly, not very smart," Dou Dou whispered to Duoduo.

Duoduo stared wide-eyed, looking at Dou Dou in disbelief.

Finding Dou Dou seemingly smart, she hardly recognized her.

"I’m not playing with him," Dou Dou then ran off.

Seeing this, Tang Tang quickly chased after her; she was almost like Dou Dou’s shadow now, particularly fond of sticking to Dou Dou.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Lin Wentao looked at his aunt with a face full of confusion.

Duoduo glanced at Lin Wentao, then at Lin Libo sitting beside talking to Shen Siyuan.

It seemed, perhaps...

This wasn’t her Bo Bo either.
