Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 469: 131: Zheng Xianjing seeks out Fuwa father and son_1

“They’ve set a date already?” Ni Yang raised her eyebrows slightly.

Xiaozhou nodded, “Maybe they’re worried about waiting too long and causing a fuss. The wedding is set for the 18th of this month.”

Ni Yang nodded less noticeably, a faint smile in her eyes. It was hard to tell what she was thinking.

Xiaozhou continued, “Mo Baichuan is getting married, shouldn’t you, as his six-aunt, prepare a big gift?”

Ni Yang gave a soft smile, “Of course.”

Xiaozhou couldn’t tell if he was imagining it, but he felt like Ni Yang looked a bit gleeful, “Yangyang, what gift have you prepared?”

“It’s a secret.” Ni Yang’s red lips slightly parting, then added, “It’s getting late. Why don’t you stay for dinner, Xiaozhou?”

With nothing else planned for the evening and a curiosity about Ni Yang’s cooking skills, Xiaozhou agreed.

As they headed downstairs, Xiaozhou asked, “Yangyang, when are you planning to move in?”

Ni Yang replied, “In a few days, once the paint smell in the house has dispersed.”

Xiaozhou nodded.

As they passed through the yard, Ni Yang casually fed a few bugs to the myna bird in the tree.

Over the past month, the little bird’s uneven feathers had all grown out. The feathers were shiny and stood out brilliantly

While nibbling on the bugs, the bird nuzzled against Ni Yang’s palm. It couldn’t have looked more docile and cute.

Even Xiaozhou, a grown man, found his heart softened as he petted the bird’s head. “Is this bird yours?” he asked.

The docile bird suddenly turned hostile, lashing out and pecking Xiaozhou’s hand.

Ni Yang laughed, “Be careful, Duoduo is pretty aggressive.”

Hearing this, Duoduo seemed to understand Ni Yang’s words. It flapped its wings and glared threateningly at Xiaozhou as if it wanted to eat him.

‘Riding the momentum of others’ Indeed!’

“Duoduo? That’s its name?”

“Yes.” Ni Yang nodded slightly.

Xiaozhou joked, “Duoduo? More like ‘Evil Bird’…”

“Chirp!” Duoduo pecked Xiaozhou again.

“If you’re so tough, do it again!”

“Chirp!”

Xiaozhou was furious, “You evil bird! Try pecking me one more time!”

And Duoduo did exactly that, proving it was fearless.

Xiaozhou was so angry; he rolled up his sleeves and said, “You’re going down today!”

Duoduo took off into the air and continuously mocked Xiaozhou.

The war between man and bird officially began.

“Yangyang!” A sweet voice suddenly echoed through the air.

Suddenly, a lovely girl in a princess dress ran in from outside.

“Yanran.” Seeing who it was, Ni Yang’s face softened into a smile.

Li Yanran gave Ni Yang a big hug, “Yangyang, I’ve missed you so much!”

Ni Yang patted her back and asked with a smile, “Where have you been recently?”

Li Yanran replied, “I went to M Country.”

Seeing that the newcomer was a girl, Xiaozhou dropped his bird-killing idea, stood there properly and smiled.

“And who is this?” Li Yanran noticed Xiaozhou.

Ni Yang introduced them with a smile, “Yanran, this is my good friend Xiaozhou. Xiaozhou, this is my close friend Yanran.”

Xiaozhou, the perfect gentleman, extended his hand to Li Yanran, “Hello, I’m Zhou Weijun. You can call me Xiaozhou, just like Yangyang does.”

As polite as ever, Li Yanran shook Xiaozhou’s hand and said, “I’m Li Yanran, but you can call me Yanran.”

Why did Li Yanran look so familiar?

“Snot Sister?” Xiaozhou tentatively uttered this childhood nickname.

The smile on Li Yanran’s face froze.

Back when they were kids, since she always had a runny nose, everyone called her “Snot Sister.”

But after primary school, no one had called her that anymore.

Not many people knew her childhood nickname. Who was this annoying guy?

Li Yanran squinted her eyes and asked, “Dimwit?”

Xiaozhou smilingly said, “Yes, yes, that’s me! Goodness, Snot Sister, you’ve changed so much! It’s hard to believe! Who would have thought that you would transform from the way you were as a child to how you are now!”

Xiaozhou looked genuinely shocked.

“Dimwit, can’t you speak properly? What do you mean by ‘the way I was as a child’? How was I as a child?” she retorted as if he was suggesting something shameful about her past.

Xiaozhou continued, “Don’t you remember? As a kid, you always had snot bubbles dripping from your nose. That’s why everyone called you ‘Snot Sister.'”
