She must have fallen into a honeypot in this life, right?
Shen Tianrui and the others, as soon as they saw Shen Tianxing wake up and then saw her smile at them with a curve in her eyes, couldn't talk enough about how adorable she looked.
The boys, who had never had a younger sister to dote on, reacted as if they had been injected with chicken blood and all became excited, clamoring to talk to Shen Tianxing.
The mischievous third brother, Shen Tianbo, squeezed his way to the front and said to her with a beaming smile, "Sis, sis, I'm your third brother, Shen Tianbo. From now on, just call me Third Bro, okay? I will definitely protect you!"
Not to be outdone, the second brother, Shen Tianzhi, pushed aside the third brother and also said to Little Tianxing, "Little Xingxing, I'm your second brother, Shen Tianzhi. I'll protect you too!"
"Little Xingxing, I'm your fourth brother, Shen Tianyu. I will protect you too!"
"Little Xingxing, I'm your fifth brother, Shen Tianrui. I will protect you too!"
Finally, the eldest brother, Shen Tianrui, pushed aside his brothers, moved up to Little Tianxing, took her cute little hand, and with his adolescent voice tinged with a hint of hoarseness, said with a chuckle, "Little Xingxing, I'm your big brother, Shen Tianrui. From now on, Big Bro and your second, third, fourth, and fifth brothers will all protect you together!"
As Shen Tianxing listened to each of the young boys vying to express their fondness for her, she couldn't help but laugh with squinted eyes. She stretched out her arms, waving her little arms and babbling as if to show how much she liked them.
Shen Tianrui and his brothers were utterly charmed by Little Tianxing's demeanor.
When they saw Little Tianxing stretch out her little arms, as if asking to be hugged, they all reached out, wanting to pick her up.
Shen Tianrui quickly intervened, "You guys are too young and don't know how to hold a child; let me do it, I'll hold Little Tianxing."
Before his brothers could react, Shen Tianrui carefully picked up Little Tianxing and held her in his broad embrace.
Although Shen Tianrui was only fifteen, he was nearly one meter seventy tall and looked like a little man. In the countryside, a boy of his age and build could already be considered an adult labor force.
The brothers who hadn't managed to hold Little Tianxing looked at their eldest brother with faces full of wistfulness and eyes filled with envy and jealousy, watching him hold Little Tianxing and laugh with a face full of tenderness.
His younger brothers secretly cursed him in their hearts, resenting that although the eldest usually kept a stern face, today he was smiling so gently, as if not afraid to scare someone to death.
Shen Tianxing, with her chubby little hands, gently patted Shen Tianrui, then pointed her finger outside the door and babbled some more as if to urge Shen Tianrui to hurry up and take her outside.
Seeing the rich expressions on Little Tianxing's face and her gestures, Shen Tianrui couldn't help but marvel inwardly, thinking how intelligent his sister seemed to be. She was so young yet already knew how to express her needs?
Shen Tianrui still carefully confirmed with Little Tianxing, "Xiaoxing, do you want to go out?"
Shen Tianxing nodded vigorously, her adorably cute little manner again melting the hearts of the young boys.
The third brother, Shen Tianbo, watched enviously, itching to take Little Tianxing from his big brother's arms, "Oh, brother, Little Xingxing is too cute, let me hold her!"
"I want to hold Little Xingxing too..."
"Me too, me too. Big Bro, let me hold Little Xingxing!"
Seeing them all try to take Little Tianxing from him, Shen Tianrui couldn't help but shout, "Shut up, all of you! Little Xingxing said she wants to go outside, so we're going outside first!"
The attentive Shen Tianzhi saw Big Bro, Shen Tianrui, about to take Little Tianxing outside without even wrapping her in a blanket and quickly called out to him, "Big Bro, wait a minute, wait a minute. Little Xingxing hasn't been wrapped in her carrying blanket. You're going to take her out like that? Aren't you afraid of her catching a cold?"
Shen Tianzhi talked as he picked up the quilt from the bed and wrapped it around Little Tianxing.
Feeling the careful attention of her second brother and the warmth of the quilt wrapped around her, Shen Tianxing grinned at Shen Tianzhi with a sweet smile that made his eyes sparkle. He almost wished he could pluck the moon from the sky for his adorable little sister.
Shen Tianxing had just woken up after several hours of sleep, and now she felt a bit urgent, wanting to hurry out and find her mother, Li Xiuxia, so she could relieve herself and feel more comfortable.
Shen Tianrui, obliged her, and as soon as they left the room, all the adults who were still sitting in the living room eating, drinking, and chatting turned to look at them.
Li Xiuxia had finished eating early on and was simply sitting there, listening to the men talk.
At that moment, when she saw Shen Tianrui holding Little Tianxing, she quickly got up to meet them.
Shen Tianxing also reached out her arms towards her, pretending she was about to leap into them.
Shen Tianrui felt a bit reluctant to let her go, but Li Xiuxia was, after all, Little Tianxing's mother. Seeing how Little Tianxing seemed to long for her mother, he felt uncomfortable getting in the way.
He could only reluctantly hand Little Tianxing over to Li Xiuxia.
Li Xiuxia gave him a smile and then, with her usual tender and smiling manner, asked Little Tianxing, "Little Xingxing, are you hungry?"
Shen Tianxing used Divine Sense to send a message to Li Xiuxia, "Mom, I need to pee, to pee..."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuxia quickly took Little Tianxing to the restroom.
With her needs taken care of, Shen Tianxing finally let out a long sigh of relief.
She lamented in her heart that being reborn as a small baby and growing up all over again was indeed not easy for an adult.
Now Shen Tianxing truly wished she could grow up quickly the next day so she could move freely. Then she wouldn't have to live such a constrained life, dependent on others for everything.
Once her bladder was empty, Shen Tianxing felt her stomach growl.
She messaged Li Xiuxia again saying, "Mom, baby's tummy is hungry, so hungry..."
Li Xiuxia kissed her little cheek and said softly, "Okay, Mommy will feed Little Xingxing now..."
When they returned to the living room, Li Xiuxia handed Little Tianxing to Shen Wenru, "Wenru, the child is hungry. I'll go make some formula for Little Xingxing. You hold her for a while."
Shen Wenru took the child in his arms and held her tightly, and said to his wife, "I'll take good care of Xiaoxing. Go ahead."
Nestled in her father's warm embrace, Shen Tianxing blinked her round eyes and began to look over those gathered: the old Master Shen, Granny Shen; Uncle Shen, Auntie Shen; Shen Wenzheng and his wife—the three couples.
The faces of old Master Shen and Granny Shen spoke of many children and blessings, with descendants bringing heart's ease.
Uncle Shen and Auntie Shen's faces didn't show great wealth, but a life of smooth sailing and fortunate children were indicated.
However, when Shen Tianxing's gaze fell upon her second uncle, Shen Wenzheng's face, she was suddenly startled.
Second Uncle Shen Wenzheng had the face of great fortune!
Yet in his visage of great fortune, there was now a darkness at his brow, concealing a terrifying brush with death!
