Seeing thatthe smile brightened more and more on her mother’s face as days pa.s.s by, evenCheng Xiao Xiao must admit that Luo Yujie was no doubt very good with herwords. Her mother is too happy to worry about anything now.
“Cousin XiaoXiao….”
It was theannoying voice of Tian Jiang, the one that felt the entire world was beneathhim was now looking at her with tenderness, as though he was looking at a girlthat he was fond of.
His lookgave Cheng Xiao Xiao gooseb.u.mps. Putting down her paint brush, she asked,“What’s the matter?”
“Cousin XiaoXiao, you like to paint? Eh, what is this you are drawing? It’s quite cute, andfunny!” Tian Jiang didn’t let the coldness on her face bother him at all but continuedto comment on the cute version of a puppy that she was drawing.
It may havebeen her look that roused his interest previously, but after their contacts inthe past few days; she had piqued his interest and curiosity with all therandom things that she knew.
Searchingfor her had became a habit of his, even though she had never been friendly tohim, he still found the encounters interested. He has long lost his arrogancearound her.
“What can Ido for you?”
Heapproached her, Cheng Xiao Xiao got up and walked away, stopped some five stepsaway and watching him looking at the comics she was drawing.
She hadalways been a comic enthusiast in her past life; she was good enough to sellsome of her work for money. Now that this skill was not useful in in era, shemerely drew to entertain her younger brothers and sister.
“Cousin XiaoXiao, the weather is so nice today. What say we go for a walk?”
He liked thedrawing a lot but didn’t ask for it; he knew she’d never gift it to him.
“I’m busy!”said Cheng Xiao Xiao without so much as looking at him.
Tian Jianglooked slightly embarra.s.sed. He fished out a small pouch from his chest andplaced it on top of the table, “I won’t bother you since you are busy. Here’s asmall gift for you; I will swing by again in the afternoon to chat!”
Tian Jiangleft before she could respond, as though he was worried that she’d try and stophim.
After he wasgone, Cheng Xiao Xiao looked pouch laying on top of the table in her kiosk andlaughed coldly, “Really? He thought I’m some naïve little girl?”
“Hehe, youare a naïve little girl in his eyes, Young Mistress?”
“Take a lookand see what he’s got!”
Cheng XiaoXiao didn’t even want to touch it and gave it to little Yuteng directly.
LittleYuteng bent her finger and the pouch flew toward her and landed squarely in herlittle hand. From inside the pouch she fished out a pair of jade earrings.
“This is notbad, Young Mistress, are you going to wear it?” asked little Yuteng with a bigsmile.
Cheng Xiao Xiaotook a quick glance at it and said to her nonchalantly, “You can have them!”
“Thank you,Young Mistress!” little Yuteng had no intention of wearing them. She tossed theearrings directly and crunched down on them loudly. Her action made Cheng XiaoXiao’s brows twitched and she said helplessly, “I can’t believe it. You’d eveneat jade?”
“I am Yuteng(jade vine), it’s only normal that I eat jade!” replied little Yuteng casually.
“Yourdrawings are so pretty, Young Mistress!” said little Yuteng as she looked atthe dog in the drawing. Her eyes lit and she asked happily, “Young Mistress,can you draw me too?”
“Oh? Youwant me to draw you?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was a bit surprised, “Hmm, I’m in a goodmood today, why not?”
