CHAPTER 587: CHAPTER 586: HAPPINESS

Mao Sanmei used a blow dryer to dry her hair, while Tang Tang sat on the little stool beside her, holding a small sand hammer that she shook continuously.

Fearing she might be bored, Mao Sanmei dried her hair quickly. Even though it was still a bit damp, she didn’t continue and instead tidied up her belongings, took Tang Tang out of the bathroom, and went straight back to the room.

As soon as she put her on the bed, Tang Tang was about to crawl down, but Mao Sanmei quickly pressed her down gently and gestured to ask what she wanted to do.

Tang Tang pointed towards the door.

"Oh, play~"

"No play~"

Mao Sanmei shook her hand and then put her palms together and placed them beside her cheek, indicating sleep time.

"Hmph~"

Tang Tang put her hands on her hips and stomped her little foot. Clearly, she wasn’t satisfied with going to sleep now; she wanted to keep playing.

Mao Sanmei didn’t say anything further but instead pointed to the milk powder can on the bedside table.

Seeing this, Tang Tang immediately climbed back into bed and lay down in her spot.

Then she drummed her little tummy, waiting for her mama to feed her.

Mao Sanmei’s lips curled into a smile as she quickly prepared a bottle of milk for Tang Tang.

By Tang Tang’s age, she didn’t really need to drink milk powder, but Miss Ruan said it contained various nutrients, not only to fill the child’s stomach but also to promote growth, making the child taller and stronger.

As long as it’s good for Tang Tang, Mao Sanmei wouldn’t be stingy and bought her milk powder suitable for her age group, all imported.

One could say that Tang Tang’s monthly consumption of milk powder accounted for a significant part of Mao Sanmei’s expenses.

Fortunately, she lived and ate at the main household, with few places to spend money, so it was affordable for her.

Tang Tang hugged the milk bottle and gulped it down, seemingly unable to catch her breath.

While drinking happily, she raised her feet, using both her hands and feet to hold up the milk bottle.

Mao Sanmei loved watching Tang Tang drink her milk; it was so warm and cute.

Once Tang Tang finished the bottle and confirmed there wasn’t a drop left, she handed the empty bottle to her mama beside her.

Mao Sanmei reached out to take it, put it aside, but didn’t let her continue lying down. She instead had her sit up.

Because a child’s intestines aren’t fully developed, lying down right after drinking milk could lead to spitting up, so it’s better to sit reclined.

Moreover, Tang Tang wasn’t sleepy at this time; lying down would only lead to her tossing and turning in bed.

So she let her sit and handed her a tablet.

Of course, it wasn’t for watching cartoons or playing games, but for drawing.

This was a tablet that Shen Siyuan specifically bought for her.

Ever since discovering Tang Tang’s unusual vision, Shen Siyuan found her color sensitivity surpassed imagination.

This sensitivity to color, applied to drawing, was practically like unlocking a special skill.

Her sharpness to various colors was even more exaggerated than the legendary "Four-dimensional Vision."

And the reason Shen Siyuan gave her a tablet instead of paintbrushes was because electronic drawing makes it easier to adjust colors.

So even though Tang Tang isn’t skilled at drawing, her mastery of color application is at the grandmaster level.

Despite being an abstract painting that one couldn’t understand at all, the color combination gives a pleasing feeling.

At this time, she was drawing a puppy, but the puppy’s limbs were of varying thickness and lengths, and its round head looked like a cat’s.

Once she covered this puppy with various colors, it looked even stranger, yet it carried an inexplicable beauty.

"Han~"

She proudly displayed her work to her mama.

Mao Sanmei generously gave a thumbs up.

Then she immediately wanted to flip over and get off the bed, but was caught by Mao Sanmei once more.

No need to ask, she understood Tang Tang’s intention.

Because she felt her drawing was great and wanted to show it to Shen Siyuan, she had done this many times before.

After drawing her third picture, the little one finally started to get sleepy, her shiny big eyes seemed to shrink.

Her little head swayed gently, and her actions sometimes paused.

Having grasped her sleep routine, Mao Sanmei knew she wanted to sleep, so she gently took away the tablet from her hands, laid her flat, and arranged her in a comfortable position, then kissed her little cheeks.

Tang Tang blinked open her eyes then closed them, repeated this a few times, then turned over, snuggled close to Mao Sanmei’s body, like a little pig nestled a couple of times, and fell asleep, entering dreamland.

-----------------

Mao Sanmei tucked her with a blanket and then returned to her book.

What she didn’t know was that shortly after she began reading, Xiao Yue, Dou Dou, and Duoduo sneaked in.

Seeing Tang Tang sleeping soundly, without any hesitation, they directly entered her dreamland.

And they found themselves on a beach.

"Eh, where’s Tang Tang? Where did she run off to?" Dou Dou looked around.

Duoduo glanced at the nearby sea, while Xiao Yue looked up at the sky, but neither saw anything.

At that moment, a rustling sound came from beneath their feet. The three hurriedly looked down, seeing Tang Tang emerging from the sand.

"Haha~, Little turtle." Dou Dou laughed aloud first.

For at this time, Tang Tang looked entirely like a turtle.

Aside from her face, her entire body was in turtle form.

"Oh?"

She was still a little dazed by Xiao Yue and the others’ appearance.

"You’re not speaking fluently yet, we have to keep teaching you," Xiao Yue said.

Previously, Shen Siyuan assigned this task to Xiao Yue, who would enter Tang Tang’s dreams every night to play with her.

Communicating through play is the best teaching method.

Yet somehow, in her dreams, Tang Tang seemed to have no shortage of words.

But in reality, Tang Tang still preferred using simple interjections like ah, oh, wow—something that made Xiao Yue a bit anxious.

"Han, sister~"

Regaining herself, Tang Tang immediately stood up and ran towards the three.

The three were startled; Tang Tang’s form, standing upright and running, was honestly quite frightening.

"Little monster, don’t come over."

Dou Dou protested sharply against Tang Tang’s approach.

Seeing Dou Dou scared, Tang Tang became more excited and started chasing her.

"I... I’m not afraid of you~"

Dou Dou ran while holding in her breath, feeling as if she was trying to relieve herself.

Startled, Xiao Yue and Duoduo hurriedly kept their distance from her.

Then they saw Dou Dou’s left hand turn into a round little paw, her whole arm transforming into a front limb.

"What’s that?" Duoduo quietly asked Xiao Yue.

"Looks like a crocodile," Xiao Yue replied.

Sure enough, as she spoke, Dou Dou’s right arm transformed into a crocodile’s front limb, followed by her legs.

She looked down, immediately turned around, and said to Tang Tang, "Now I’m not afraid of you, I can gulp you down, awu..."

Saying that, she roared towards the sky, making the world silent.

For only her limbs had turned crocodile-like, her body remained the same.

Additionally, the crocodile-shaped limbs were chubby and cute, not frightening at all.

"Han~"
