"Xiao Lei, didn’t you say you wanted to visit big sister? I’m free now, so why don’t you come with me and get acquainted with my place. After I give birth, you can come over to play anytime."
Zhang Shanni put aside Lin Yingxia, and instead looked down with a smile, talking to Xiao Lei.
"Really?" Xiao Lei asked back joyfully, his actions protective of the big sister as they walked on the crowded street, looking as if he were afraid she might get bumped into.
For Xiao Lei, in this new city, the big sister in front of him was the only one who didn’t look at him and his family with a different eye.
And the big sister was indeed a very nice person, knowing that he was living a tough life, she would always slip him a few candies whenever they met, which were really delicious—melting in the mouth and gone in an instant, leaving him savoring the taste.
But most of the time, he couldn’t bear to eat them, as Little Yaya needed sweets even more.
"Of course, big sister’s home also has a little boy about your age; he’s just a bit younger than you, only seven, and there’s also a five-year-old little sister. You could bring Yaya along and everyone can play together and become good friends."
"That would be great, Yaya’s been bored staying at home all day, she really has nowhere to play!" Xiao Lei replied with excitement, "Huh?"
"What’s wrong?" Hearing Xiao Lei’s puzzled murmur, Zhang Shanni followed his gaze and saw a fleeting shadow flash by—it was clearly Lin Yingxia that they had noticed before!
"It’s nothing. I just noticed a woman was following us, but for some reason, she suddenly got dragged away by someone." Most importantly, that man seemed a bit familiar...
It was just a hurried glance, and he couldn’t clearly see the person’s facial features. That person moved too fast, even faster than Uncle Fatty!
"Is that so?" Zhang Shanni asked back in amusement, someone got dragged away? How come she didn’t notice??
It seems that even a little boy can be not so simple, huh.
However, Xiao Lei had never shown any ill will towards her; in fact, he seemed very keen on getting close to her. Zhang Shanni’s intuition about people’s true nature was usually very accurate, and she didn’t avoid him just because of this fleeting impression.
"Let’s go, big sister will walk you home since it’s getting late. You should get home earlier; it’s a bit chaotic outside after all."
"You little brat, talking as if you’re some kind of tough cookie!"
"Hey, big sister, don’t disbelieve me. Uncle Fatty said, if I grow a few more centimeters and eat a bit more for a couple more years, he might not be able to beat me!" Xiao Lei puffed out his chest proudly.
"Pfft, Xiao Lei, Uncle Fatty was clearly making fun of your short stature, and you can’t even tell?" Zhang Shanni teased him softly while the familiar presence that followed put her mind at ease.
"Big sister..."
"Don’t be mad, Xiao Lei, oh dear, I spoke out of turn, Xiao Lei is the toughest!"
"Second Aunt, why do you say he’s tough? It’s clearly Xiaoqi who’s the toughest! Second Aunt, you’re not allowed to like him more, you have to like Xiaoqi the most!"
