The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 290 - 288 Little Dog
Chapter 290 -288 Little Dog
Nian Shutong also saw something shimmering. With one hand reaching forward, a vine, as if possessing its own hand, deftly grabbed the item from the water.
When the item surfaced, Nian Shutong smiled.
She patted Dou Dou’s head and said, “Dou Dou is really lucky.”
“Hmm?”
Dou Dou didn’t quite understand, but he felt his aunt’s happiness and grinned, his small white teeth showing, his eyes nearly disappearing in his smile.
By then, the item from the spring water had been placed on the sand by Nian Shutong.
The Little Pink Pig next to Dou Dou mischievously walked over for the first time and, with a short leg in coordination with its little hooves, gave it a kick.
Then, looking particularly proud, it scampered back and stood next to Dou Dou again.
Nian Shutong glanced at it and didn’t take it to heart.
“Auntie, what is this?”
“A little dog, perhaps.”
Nian Shutong looked at the sculpture on the ground, yet another one.
This time, she was absolutely certain that it wasn’t a coincidence.
However, she didn’t know how many such sculptures there were. Upon asking Little Pink Pig and Little Silver Snake, they knew nothing.
Both little ones only knew that the master of Blue Star was also their master.
They said they would listen to the master, but Nian Shutong felt their most fundamental duty should be to protect Blue Star.
She couldn’t help but think of the Cultivation World she had once known, perhaps left by some powerful being to protect Blue Star, which wouldn’t be surprising.
Every person wants to protect their roots.
For many, Blue Star was that root.
Even for Nian Shutong, it was her root too.
Nian Shutong gathered the sculpture, having a premonition that once she absorbed this dog sculpture completely, the next one would appear.
Nian Shutong began to play with Dou Dou, playing here for a while before the two of them left in a flying device, heading straight north.
Along the way, Nian Shutong flew low, and whenever Dou Dou found a place interesting, they would go down to explore.
The pair saw a vast abyss, a waterfall that seemed to descend from the heavens, experienced the ceaseless flow of rivers, and summited ice and snow-covered peaks.
Nian Shutong also held Dou Dou, flying them through the trees, riding the wind.
The clouds within reach and the sun and moon seeming to beckon left the deepest impressions on Dou Dou.
And all of this was brought to him by his aunt beside him.
Exhilarating experiences, unrestrained play.
Three-year-old Dou Dou was very smart but still a child.
Previously, he and Ji Sisi lived in the Ji Family. Though the elders were kind, some children still teased Dou Dou about not having a father, mocked him as a disaster.
They isolated him, excluded him.
Dou Dou didn’t particularly enjoy it there, but it was his mother’s home, and he never complained until Ji Sisi realized, and they both left the Ji Family for Blue Star.
At Blue Star, Dou Dou had his happiest days.
“Auntie, Auntie, Dou Dou is so happy! So happy!”
Nian Shutong, holding Dou Dou with one arm, sped up and stopped at a treetop, surveying the rolling sea of clouds.
“Dou Dou, remember one thing, your aunt is Nian Shutong.”
“Auntie will protect you.”
“Just grow up happy. If you want to laugh, laugh; if you want to cry, cry. You don’t need to act like a grown-up, being so obedient and sensible.”
Dou Dou’s little round face, which had been holding back, burst into tears after Nian Shutong finished speaking.
“Auntie, Auntie—”
That cry made Nian Shutong somewhat regretful.
She was not good at consoling!
What was she to do?
Luckily, Dou Dou was still the sensible child he always was; after crying a bit, he laughed again, his small hands hastily wiping his face.
“Auntie, Dou Dou still wants to fly!”
“Alright! Auntie will take you flying.”
Nian Shutong activated a Spiritual Power barrier, only allowing a faint breeze to touch their faces.
She gently leaped, hugging Dou Dou with one hand, as Little Pink Pig firmly stood on Nian Shutong’s shoulder.
“Let’s go!”
They soared through the sea of clouds, riding the mist, looking utterly carefree and dashing!
“Dou Dou flew! Dou Dou flew!”
Such memories, even after Dou Dou grew up, lingered deeply in his mind, never forgotten.
Nian Shutong, with Dou Dou, played until sunset before they finally rode the Flying Device back to the small wooden house.
Unexpectedly, the first to greet them was a resentful Uncle Ha Ha.
Uncle Ha Ha crouched under the Flying Device, lifting his large head, its ears drooping down.
“Uncle Ha Ha also wants to go out.”
Before Nian Shutong could speak, Dou Dou rushed out first.
His small arms wrapped around Uncle Ha Ha’s neck as he affectionately shouted, “Uncle Ha Ha, Dou Dou missed you.”
Dou Dou’s enthusiasm even made Uncle Ha Ha blush.
How could he hug someone like that?
Yet, it did lift some of Uncle Ha Ha’s resentment.
At that moment, Nian Shutong, coming down, casually stroked Uncle Ha Ha’s big head and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take you out next time.”
With those words, Uncle Ha Ha immediately became happy.
Nian Shutong seemed quite attentive, realizing it wasn’t fair to just have everyone work; indeed, it was necessary to arrange some time for everyone to relax.
She kept this in mind, thinking about how to arrange it.
“Mom, Mom! Aunt took me to see the desert, Moon-shaped Spring, and the iceberg, and she took Dou Dou flying too!”
Dou Dou, like a joyful little sparrow, chirped away, sharing his day’s experiences with Ji Sisi.
Ji Sisi crouched down, listening intently to Dou Dou’s descriptions.
During this, she looked gratefully at Nian Shutong.

Mr. Nian was truly wonderful.
Now, Nian Shutong had gone to the small kitchen to check on today’s cuisine.
She was craving a meal.
Just as she reached the kitchen, Mr. Fan had already started the fire, stirring and frying.
He had prepared everything in advance: the longer-cooking dishes were stewing in the pot, ready for Nian Shutong’s return to be quickly stir-fried.
“Boss, this jelly is made according to your method; please taste it and see.”
“Sure!”
Nian Shutong picked up a piece of somewhat transparent jelly, containing cleanly washed chunks of pork skin.
She first tasted it without dipping it into anything, the unique texture being a bit cool and slippery, and pretty tasty.
For the second piece, Nian Shutong dipped it in some garlic sauce prepared by Mr. Fan, and her eyes immediately brightened, it was delicious.
Otherwise, it would have been somewhat bland.
After eating three or four pieces, Nian Shutong said to Mr. Fan, “Mr. Fan, I prefer it with a little less pork skin.”
“Alright, I’ll make it for you next time.”
“Thank you.”
Having eaten a few pieces, Nian Shutong felt quite satisfied and was about to leave.
“Nian Shutong!”
Not far away, standing opposite Nian Shutong, Fu Yunhe, with a smile blooming like spring flowers, waved at her.
Nian Shutong walked over as usual, standing in front of Fu Yunhe, and carefully analyzed him.
“Do you have some good news?”
“Did you make a big profit?”
At this, Nian Shutong, perked up, asked, “Did my money double as well?”
“It’s not about making money.”
Fu Yunhe dared not keep her in suspense any longer, straightforwardly saying, “I have a gift for you.”
