Ji Yan picked up his phone from the bedside table, glanced at the caller ID, then his eyes darkened, and he immediately rejected the call.
Tang Tang was wondering why he wasn’t answering when the phone rang again. This time, Ji Yan’s expression turned sour again.
The caller seemed determined to get Ji Yan to answer, stubbornly refusing to hang up, ringing again and again until Tang Tang couldn’t help but ask, “Who’s calling you? Why aren’t you answering?”
“Irrelevant people, no need to answer.” After saying that, Ji Yan blocked the number, and the phone stopped ringing.
“Oh, okay.” Tang Tang didn’t ask any more questions. After all, the two of them had just gone through such an embarrassing incident, and she was still too shy to talk to him. So she quickly finished her foot massage for the day, and before he could get the water, she hurriedly grabbed the foot bath water and ran into the bathroom to ease her embarrassment.
Looking at her flushed face in the mirror for a moment, her gaze involuntarily drifted downwards, landing directly on her chest. The firm curves made her nervously lift her collar to peek inside. The purple fabric barely covered half of her small breasts, the other half trembling precariously in mid-air. In the middle, there was a cleavage just like Ji Yue’s. She was supposed to be a small steamed bun, but wearing this underwear made her look like a large white steamed bun. How could Ji Yue’s bra be so magical?
“Do men really all like women with big breasts?” Tang Tang couldn’t help but recall what Ji Yue had said, and felt that she seemed to have a point. Otherwise, why would Ji Yan react that way? He had never looked at her like that before. Could it be that he hadn’t felt that way about her because she was flat-chested before?
Although it was indeed embarrassing, she had secretly seen the secret aphrodisiac manual her nanny kept, and knew that when men and women did *that*, they needed to be completely naked, and then the man would not only see but also touch.
Thinking of this, Tang Tang’s face burned. She took out the bottle of breast enhancement cream from under the cabinet and, like a thief, applied it to her breasts as Ji Yue had instructed, massaging clockwise. As she massaged, she felt ashamed of herself; she was becoming increasingly unladylike, not only wearing such revealing underwear but also massaging herself there. If her nanny knew, she would surely be furious and cry out that she had wronged her deceased mother.
Whether it was from her own massage or the effect of the breast enhancement cream, after the massage, Tang Tang felt both her breasts become hot and swollen, a little uncomfortable. She kept wanting to rub and scratch them, but that action was too indecent, so she had to resist touching them, her face turning red. Ji Xiaozhuo thought she was sick and worriedly touched her forehead, “Mom, what’s wrong? Are you horny?”
Ji Xiaozhuo spoke clearly, making him one of the best among his peers, but he still mispronounced some words. For example, he said “piao niang” instead of “pretty[1],” and “fa sao[2]” instead of “fa shao[3].” These words are easily misunderstood, especially since Tang Tang had just done something very embarrassing in the bathroom. So when she heard Ji Xiaozhuo utter those two words, her heart skipped a beat, her face flushed, and she didn’t dare glance at Ji Yan. Seeing this, Ji Xiaozhuo became even more worried. He touched Tang Tang’s head with one chubby little hand and his own with the other, and realizing that his mother’s head was indeed hotter than his own, he immediately cried out to his father, “Dad, come quick! Mom’s ‘sao’!”
Ji Yan really thought Tang Tang had a fever, and his heart skipped a beat. He didn’t care about anything else and strode over to put his hand on Tang Tang’s forehead to check her temperature.
Tang Tang shook her head anxiously, “No, no, I don’t have a fever, my face is just a little hot, Xiao Zhuo touched the wrong person.”
“Don’t move!” Ji Yan said in a low voice, his other hand reaching behind Tang Tang to support the back of her head to prevent her from shaking her head, carefully feeling her temperature.
“I…” Tang Tang didn’t dare to move, so she could only let him touch her like that, her heart pounding uncontrollably again.
Ji Yan tried for a few minutes, and only after confirming that Tang Tang really didn’t have a fever did he put his hand down, “No fever.”
Tang Tang scratched her head awkwardly, accidentally making her hair into a mess. Her silly look amused Ji Yan, and he couldn’t help but pat her head like he would pat Ji Xiaozhuo, “It’s good that you’re alright, go to bed and rest quickly, the ground is cold, don’t catch a cold.” The weather had turned completely cold now, and standing on the ground for a long time was indeed chilly.
Hearing Ji Yan say this, Tang Tang was unusually proud. “No way, I’m as healthy as an ox! I rarely get sick.” Perhaps because it wasn’t easy to find a doctor back in the manor, Tang Tang indeed rarely fell ill, living a resilient life like a weed from childhood. She hadn’t been sick since coming here either, so it seemed her good constitution had come with her.
Hearing this, Ji Xiaozhuo, not to be outdone, patted his little chest and said, “Me neither, I’m as healthy as an ox!”
Mother and son smiled at each other, their eyes filled with mutual pride.
Ji Yan looked at Ji Xiaozhuo’s chubby little body, then at Tang Tang’s slender frame, and suddenly burst out laughing, even revealing his bright white teeth.
Tang Tang rarely saw Ji Yan laugh like this; he was usually expressionless, and even when he laughed, it was usually just a slight smirk. Such a hearty laugh was truly rare.
What were they saying that was so funny?
Ji Yan didn’t offer any explanations, simply urging them to bed. “Alright, go to bed now, I’m turning off the lights.”
Tang Tang and Ji Xiaozhuo had no choice but to climb into bed and lie down. After Ji Yan turned off the lights, they both fell asleep within five minutes, their quiet breathing filling the air.
Ji Yan shook his head and chuckled. This mother and son both fell asleep at the same pace, both optimists who didn’t dwell on anything. But that was a good thing.
The next day, when Tang Tang woke up, she found the weather outside gloomy, the sky completely black, and the temperature much colder than the day before. The wind whipped at her face, making her shiver. It looked like it was going to rain. Tang Tang quickly added thick clothes for Ji Xiaozhuo, even changing his socks, and brewed a cup of ginger tea in a thermos for him to carry and drink as tea to prevent a cold. Children were most susceptible to illness during seasonal changes. As expected, the gloomy sky finally changed its expression in the afternoon. A torrential downpour began, the rain hitting the ground with a loud crash, and the air was thick with mist, making it impossible to see anything ahead. The rain was so heavy that Tang Tang couldn’t help but worry. She was worried about Ji Yan, who was training outside, and also about whether Ji Xiaozhuo would be cold. She couldn’t go to see Ji Yan, so she could only wait at home, checking the rain outside every now and then. By evening, the rain had finally subsided a bit, but it was still quite heavy; anyone stepping outside would be soaked through in an instant.
Tang Tang needed to go pick up Ji Xiaozhuo, which meant going out, and she searched the house but only found an umbrella. She had forgotten to prepare raincoats and rain boots. Tang Tang slapped her head in frustration. There was nothing she could do but take the umbrella and go pick up Ji Xiaozhuo. To keep the little one dry, Tang Tang found one of her own cotton coats in the closet to wrap around Ji Xiaozhuo, and then bundled herself up warmly before braving the heavy rain to get to the kindergarten.
The parents were clearly worried about their children; they had all arrived at the kindergarten gate early, many wearing raincoats and rain boots, and carrying their children’s raincoats and boots.
Tang Tang couldn’t help but remember that she must buy two sets of raincoats and boots when she got home. The weather here was unpredictable; it would rain suddenly and suddenly, and she couldn’t let her baby get wet.
While Tang Tang was pondering, the children had already come out and were picked up by their parents as quickly as possible. The kindergarten was soon empty, but Ji Xiaozhuo didn’t rush to leave with Tang Tang. Instead, she pulled her hand and pointed to Wen Nuo, the only little girl left in the class, and said, “Mommy, Teacher Su took leave today and didn’t come. No one can take Wen Nuo home, and no one is coming to pick her up. Can we take her home with us?”
“Didn’t her family come?”
Ji Xiaozhuo pouted and shook his head. “No one ever comes to pick her up. It’s raining so hard now, she’ll get sick if she goes home by herself. Mommy, let’s take her home together.”
Tang Tang already knew about the little girl’s situation and felt a lot of pity for her. She was willing to take the little girl home, but what if the family couldn’t find her and got worried if she took someone else’s child home without permission?
Tang Tang walked towards the little girl who was silently blinking her big eyes at them, patted her little head, and said gently, “Nuo Nuo, is it okay for Auntie to call you that?”
The little girl blinked her eyes, nodded after a while, and looked adorable.
“Nuo Nuo, Auntie will take you home now. Tell Auntie where your home is, okay?”
This time, the little girl didn’t nod. She just looked at Tang Tang silently without saying a word, but Tang Tang saw a pitiful look in her big, watery eyes. Tang Tang couldn’t bear this, so she hugged the little girl and patted her gently.
“Nuo Nuo, don’t you want to go home?”
The little girl didn’t answer, just obediently nestled in her arms without moving, like a quiet little rabbit. Seeing the little girl like this, Tang Tang’s heart softened, and she no longer hesitated. She asked her, “Nuo Nuo, would you like to go home with Auntie and play for a while?”
The little girl in her arms nodded, clearly willing. So, Tang Tang informed the other teachers at the kindergarten that if Wen Nuo’s family came looking for the child, they should go to her house. Then she took the two little ones home.
The rain outside was still heavy. Tang Tang wrapped the cotton coat she had brought around Ji Xiaozhuo’s waist, then took off her own coat and wrapped it around the little girl. She then quickly rushed home with the two children.
The two children didn’t get much rain, but Tang Tang was in the worse state; her clothes were completely soaked, and she was shivering from the cold.
Ji Xiaozhuo worriedly held Tang Tang’s hand, “Mommy, are you alright?”
Wen Nuo also took Tang Tang’s other hand, looking at her with equally worried eyes. Tang Tang’s heart warmed, and she kissed both little ones.
“It’s okay, I’ll go change my clothes. Xiao Zhuo, you play with Nuo Nuo for a while, and Mommy will make dinner for you when I come out.”
Ji Xiaozhuo nodded, “Mommy, don’t worry, go change your clothes quickly, don’t get sick.”
After taking a hot shower in the bathroom, Tang Tang felt much better. She looked at the two little ones; they were sitting on the carpet playing with toys. Ji Xiaozhuo was taking a toy apart, while Wen Nuo watched quietly. Only after Ji Xiaozhuo finished and pushed a pile of parts in front of her did she begin to assemble them.
Tang Tang smiled, gave the two little ones some snacks, and then went into the kitchen to cook. When she came out, the two were still happily playing, but now they had moved on to a new toy after finishing the previous one.
The little girl was usually slow and deliberate, but surprisingly, she assembled the toy very quickly, almost without thinking, piecing it together one piece after another with an unusual focus and seriousness.
