Lively and Adorable, Endearing

Huang Rong choked back sobs as she said, "I don’t want him to like me!"

Seeing Huang Rong like this, Su Yu gave a wry smile. He walked over to her and pulled her onto his lap.

Huang Rong immediately snapped, "Stinky Brother, put me down."

"Alright, alright, don’t be angry. I like both you and Xiao Rou Er. Here, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said that about you. This lollipop is my apology." As he spoke, Su Yu took out an enormous lollipop, nearly as big as Huang Rong’s little face.

The moment Huang Rong saw such a huge lollipop, she stopped crying. Her eyes lit up as she stared at it, and Su Yu smiled before placing it in her hand.

Huang Rong immediately took it and said while licking it, "For the lollipop’s sake, I’ll forgive you, Brother."

Su Yu smiled and shook his head, then took out another identical lollipop and handed it to Huang Rou. "Xiao Rou Er, this one is for you too."

Huang Rou accepted the lollipop with a bright smile. "Thank you, Brother."

Su Yu smiled and rubbed Huang Rou’s little head. "No need to thank me. Stop practicing the zither for now and eat your lollipop first."

Huang Rou nodded, then began licking her lollipop just like Huang Rong. Watching the two of them eat candy, Su Yu could not help thinking of what Yi Yi had been like as a child. Sure enough, no matter who it was, they were cutest when they were little.

While eating, Huang Rou looked at Huang Rong and Su Yu. Suddenly, she held her lollipop out in front of Su Yu. "Brother, you have some too."

Su Yu smiled. "No, you eat it yourself."

Huang Rong looked at Huang Rou, then at Su Yu. She also held her lollipop out before him. "Stinky Brother, you can have a bite."

"Really? Then I’ll eat it," Su Yu said deliberately, opening his mouth wide. Huang Rong was so frightened that she immediately snatched the lollipop back.

"Ah! You were really going to eat it! Stinky Brother! Big bully!" Huang Rong immediately complained.

Su Yu smiled. "Didn’t you tell me to eat it?"

Huang Rong was instantly dumbfounded. "I-I-I was just… just being polite, hmph! Stinky Brother, you really are biased. When Rou Er offered you some, you refused!"

Su Yu said with a straight face, "That’s because Xiao Rong Er’s lollipop smells better!"

"Hmph, you only know how to fool children. I’m going to find Father. I’ll tell him you bullied me!" Huang Rong hugged her lollipop and ran off.

Su Yu called after her with a smile, "Slow down. Don’t fall."

"Bleh, bleh, bleh! I’m not that dumb!" Huang Rong shouted as she ran.

Su Yu shook his head with a wry smile. Huang Rong was lively and adorable, while Huang Rou made people instinctively want to protect her. Over the years, the two little girls had accompanied Su Yu and given him several genuinely happy years. Now, he even wanted to have a daughter with Mao Jiu just for fun.

"Guan Ying and Little Sister Xiao Ling are coming tomorrow. Brother, can you give me two more lollipops? I want to give them to them tomorrow," Huang Rou said, looking at Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded. "Sure, but Xiao Rou Er, you have to hide them well. Don’t let Xiao Rong Er steal them."

"Huh? Then Brother, you’d better not give them to me. Every time I hide something, Sister manages to find it," Huang Rou immediately said.

Su Yu nodded. "That’s true. You and Xiao Rong Er are connected at heart. She knows whatever you’re thinking. There are no secrets between the two of you at all."

"Brother, teach me another new song. Tomorrow, I want to perform one more piece for Guan Ying and Little Sister Xiao Ling," Huang Rou said, tugging at Su Yu’s sleeve.

Su Yu smiled and nodded. "Alright."

With that, Su Yu began teaching Huang Rou a new piece. The third piece he taught her was Elements. Elements could be used not only to attack enemies, but also for performances. After all, summoning wind, water, fire, thunder, and lightning could amaze everyone and achieve a performance effect.

Huang Rou was very diligent and highly talented. Moreover, Elements was a piece Su Yu had created himself, so it was not as difficult as the top zither pieces of the Zither Sect. By the end of the day, Huang Rou had mastered Elements.

When Su Yu and Huang Rou returned to the main hall for dinner that evening, they saw Huang Rong sitting in Huang Laoxie’s arms. From the moment Huang Rong and Huang Rou were born, Huang Laoxie had cherished them like treasures in his palms. Whoever dared to bully them, Huang Laoxie would definitely be the first to leap out and fight that person to the death.

But who on Peach Blossom Island could possibly bully Huang Rong and Huang Rou? The only one who could and dared to bully them was Su Yu, and Huang Laoxie could do nothing about him. Every time Huang Rong came to complain, Huang Laoxie got a headache.

Su Yu smiled at Huang Rong. "Xiao Rong Er, don’t make things difficult for Father. What’s the use of coming to Father to complain?"

Huang Rong gave an angry snort. "None of you like me! I’m running away from home!"

"Go ahead. Where could you possibly go?" Su Yu said with a wave of his hand.

The Peach Blossom Array on Peach Blossom Island had reached the point where, without Su Yu’s guidance, even Huang Laoxie would not be able to find his way out after barging in, much less pass through it.

"Hmph! I’m not talking to any of you anymore!" Huang Rong ran out in a huff.

"Ah, Rong Er!" Huang Laoxie immediately called out anxiously.

Su Yu looked at Huang Laoxie. "Father, don’t worry. She can’t run far. Even if she hides, with Xiao Rou Er here, it won’t matter where she hides."

As he spoke, Su Yu rubbed Huang Rou’s little head. Huang Rou looked at Huang Laoxie and said, "Father, don’t worry. Sister is just angry. She’s probably going back to her room to sneak some of the leftover snacks to calm down."

Su Yu smiled. "That girl still has snacks left over?"

The moment Huang Rou heard that, she became nervous. Su Yu understood at once. "You… that brat is planning to sneak off and eat your snacks, isn’t she?"

Huang Rou immediately shook her head desperately. "No, no, they’re Sister’s own."

"Silly girl, that brat is always stealing your snacks and lollipops, and you’re still speaking up for her?" Su Yu said, rubbing Huang Rou’s little head.

Huang Rou squeezed her hands together. "I don’t really like snacks that much anyway, so it’s fine if Sister eats them. Brother, you’re always making Sister angry. She’s actually very upset inside. I can’t help her with anything, so I can only give her snacks to eat."

"Alright, alright, I know what you mean, Xiao Rou Er. I won’t make Xiao Rong Er angry anymore. Go bring her back quickly. How can she skip dinner and only eat snacks?" Su Yu said with a smile.

Huang Rou immediately smiled and nodded. "Mm-hm, I’ll go call Sister back right away."

With that, Huang Rou ran outside.

Feng Heng came over to Su Yu and said, "Shao Tian, you’re the older brother. You should take better care of your younger sisters. These past years, you really have treated Rong Er and Rou Er completely differently. Sometimes, you should be gentler with Rong Er too."
