Chapter 352 - The 12th Year

Su Xiaoling laughed and said gently, “Alright, I heard it. The gods also heard it.”

With that, Su Xiaoling pinched Su Xiaolu’s cheek. “Alright, sleep. Sweet dreams.”

With that, Su Xiaoling patted Su Xiaolu gently, just like when she was young.

Su Xiaolu was also sleepy and quickly fell asleep.

December 30th, New Year’s Eve.

The family woke up early and went into the kitchen to knead bread buns together.

They chatted and laughed as they wrapped the buns into various shapes and sizes.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao sat by the stove and started the fire, looking at the children gently.

Looking at Su Chong, Madam Zhao sighed lightly. They still did not know which girl Su Chong liked.

If they asked, he would either avoid answering or leave.

Madam Zhao could not do anything to him.

If she asked Su Hua and Zhou Heng, they would also play dumb. Madam Zhao was really at her wit’s end.

As for Su Xiaoling, she was not satisfied with many portraits. Madam Zhao was at her wit’s end again.

Su Sanlang knew every look in Madam Zhao’s eyes. He gently patted the back of Madam Zhao’s hand, his gaze gentle and comforting.

Madam Zhao understood Su Sanlang’s gaze. She smiled helplessly.

The couple did not say anything, but they communicated silently.

After Su Chong, Su Hua, Zhou Heng, Su Xiaolu, and Su Xiaoling wrapped the buns properly, they became playful and used the remaining dough to seriously wrap their favorite buns.

Su Xiaolu wanted to make a chubby little piggy.

However, reality was cruel. She did not create any piglets. There was only an ugly and big fat pig. She tore the skin in the east and tore it to nourish it a little.

Su Chong also carefully pinched the bun into the shape of a lamb. Although it did not look good, it was much better than Su Xiaolu’s.

Su Xiaoling pinched them. Be it the little tiger or the kitten, they were all very good-looking.

Zhou Heng’s also looked good.

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Heng and could not help but roll her eyes. “Third Brother, why are you pinching the same as Sister? Don’t you have any original ideas? Why don’t you pinch a cute little pig?”

The piglet in Su Xiaoling’s hand took shape. She reached out to Su Xiaolu and said, “Xiaolu, for you.”

Su Xiaolu looked at the really chubby and cute little piggy and smiled happily. “Thank you, Sister. You’re the best to me.”

Zhou Heng smiled and took the dough. He imitated Su Xiaoling’s piglet and made one for Su Xiaolu. He was gentle and doting. “Here, I’ll give you one too. Are you happy now?”

Zhou Heng’s mold was similar to Su Xiaoling’s. The two piglets leaned against each other and looked cute.

Su Xiaolu pursed her lips. “Just averagely happy.”

The buns were almost wrapped up and steamed.

They went to wash their hands.

Su Chong and Su Hua scooped water and washed their hands with Su Xiaolu. Su Chong called Su Xiaolu to practice swordsmanship.

Su Hua smiled and said to Su Xiaoling and Zhou Heng, “I’ll go take a look.”

Zhou Heng nodded.

He fetched clean well water again and smiled at Su Xiaoling. “Xiaoling, come and wash up.”

Su Xiaoling nodded gently and walked over to squat down to wash her hands.

Zhou Heng waited quietly and helped her fetch water until she washed her hands.

With eye contact, there was always a smile in Zhou Heng’s eyes.

Su Xiaoling subconsciously avoided his gaze. Her heart beat faster and her face felt a little hot. She washed her hands and stood up. “Little Brother Heng, I’ll go to the kitchen to take a look first.”

Without waiting for Zhou Heng to answer, Su Xiaoling turned around and returned to the kitchen.

Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaoling’s back. He lowered his eyes and hid his feelings for her. He washed his hands slowly with the basin.

Su Xiaolu used her new sword moves to compete with Su Chong. When the buns were steamed, she immediately went over to eat them.

Looking at the two cute little pigs, Su Xiaolu gave one to Su Xiaoling.

She took a small pig and a large pig bun and went out to eat.

However, someone patted her shoulder. Su Xiaolu turned to look at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng was holding a kitten bun in his hand. He said to Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, can you trade with me? I want to eat piggy buns too.”

Su Xiaolu saw that Zhou Heng’s eyes were fixed on the bun in her hand. She handed it to him. “For you.”

Zhou Heng smiled. “Thank you, Xiaolu.”

After exchanging with Su Xiaolu, Zhou Heng carefully carried the bun to the side to eat.

Su Xiaolu took a bite of the head of the cat bun. The taste was no different. The filling was the same. Why did she have to change it?

Looking at Zhou Heng’s expression, Su Xiaolu was suddenly stunned on the spot. She swallowed the meat bun in her mouth and had a terrifying guess.

No way, no way, no way!

Could Zhou Heng like her third sister?

A younger guy and an older girl.

The more Su Xiaolu thought about it, the more she felt so.

She sighed in frustration. What should she do?

On second thought, she felt that she was thinking too much. Perhaps Zhou Heng did not mean that. Otherwise, if Third Sister was about to arrange marriage, he would be anxious.

However, Su Xiaolu was suspicious and decided to test it out when she found a suitable opportunity.

At this moment, no one noticed that Su Chong had quietly left.

Su Xiaolu saw it again.

When she saw Su Chong go out, she immediately recalled what Madam Zhao had been worried about recently. Her brother had someone he liked, but she didn’t know who it was. It was New Year’s Eve, so it must be strange for him to go out quietly.

She hesitated for three breaths and finally followed quietly.

Curiosity killed the cat. Her damned curiosity.

She secretly convinced herself that she was just going to take a look and would definitely not ruin or disturb anything good for Su Chong.

She followed him all the way. Su Xiaolu thought that if she was discovered, it meant that God did not want her to follow him. She would stop, but Su Chong, who had always been sharp, just did not notice.

Su Xiaolu successfully followed him to the school. Instead of going through the door, she quietly circulated her energy and climbed over the wall.

Su Xiaolu looked at the familiar school and frowned. What was her brother doing?

A wild guess surfaced in her heart, but another voice in her mind told her that this was impossible!

Su Xiaolu’s face was serious. In the end, she did the same thing as Su Chong.

She would know if it was true just by looking at it.

Su Chong quietly avoided Madam Chen and Lin Pingsheng and knocked on Lin Yaoyao’s door. His face was a little red, as if he was very nervous. He was completely different from his usual calm and composed self.

The door opened and Lin Yaoyao walked out. She was a little surprised to see Su Chong. “Su Chong, why are you here? What are you doing here?”

Lin Yaoyao frowned slightly. Su Chong had been acting strangely recently. She didn’t want to think in that direction, but many things Su Chong had done were leading to that possibility.

Su Chong looked at Lin Yaoyao and was at a loss. He stuffed the box into Lin Yaoyao’s arms and stammered, “Senior… Senior Sister, I… I made this myself. It’s for you.”

Lin Yaoyao: “…”

Su Xiaolu, who was eavesdropping: “…”
