Little bun's sudden cry startled everyone as they all turned to look at him. Sitting in his high chair, Little bun was flailing his arms as if trying to master a perfect breaststroke as he tried to heave himself off the chair, his eyes were shining brightly as he looked at Mu Ran who was like a little doll. Soft, pale skin that was even a shade paler than him—— big, round eyes that were twinkling like stars in midnight and pouty lips that were slightly puckered and glistening. She was just so pretty! Just as pretty as his mother! Or maybe even prettier than his mother!

  Yu Dong didn't know that she was knocked off from the first place as the most beautiful woman in little Bun's heart. She looked at her son who was flailing around and took him in her arms afraid that he might knock himself and the chair down with all the dance moves he was suddenly trying to learn. " What is it? Why are you acting all fussy now?"

  If this was before little bun would have calmed down but now his object of fascination has changed. He arched his back and looked at his mother before pointing at Mu Ran who was looking at his antics in confusion. ' There! Send me there! I want to look at that beautiful sister up close!'

  Yu Dong looked at her slippery son, who was twisting in her arms like he was a fish that has been taken out of the water and then glanced at Chen Mi who looked just as bemused as her, he shook his head telling her that he too had no idea what was up with Little bun. Yu Dong once again switched her attention to little bun who was now pointing at Mu Ran even more frantically than before, she hesitated as she asked, " What's wrong? Do you want——"

  " Umm, maybe he wants to play with me," said Mu Ran, even if she wasn't paying attention to little bun and all her focus was on the plate of fruits that were on the dining table, she could still sense the fervent poking and pointing he was doing in her direction.

  Even though Yu Dong wanted to say that Mu Ran's guess was probably wrong but then her son started nodding his head while giving her the best puppy eyes look he could muster.

  Yu Dong: "……" well, looks like I was the one who was wrong.

  As an overprotective mother, she naturally didn't want to hand her baby son in the hands of a young child, it wasn't that she was thinking of Mu Ran as a potential threat since little bun was still a baby and everything but she was worried that Mu Ran might actually drop Little bun in case she couldn't carry his weight and more importantly the little guy was too fussy and liked to move around here and there.

  Maybe Chu Chang realised her worries as he smiled and patted Mu Ran's head. " Don't worry, she won't drop him. Ever since she was a young kid, she has been taking care of her brother with me. Ran Ran, even knows how to change a child's nappies."

  Being praised by her daddy made Mu Ran happy as she proudly stuck out her chest and said, " Ran Ran, is very smart." She is so smart that she even knew that her daddy and mother were divorced and now she needed to take care of her daddy and younger brothers since she no longer had a mother.

  A broken family always matured a child faster than life, anyway.

  After listening to Chu Chang, Yu Dong's worries lessened as she crouched down and handed little bun to Mu Ran, though she didn't know why he wanted to get close to this young girl, she let him do what he wanted.

  Mu Ran took little bun in her arms carefully and then patted his back as if trying to stop him from making any more fuss. "Shh, shhh, little baby… close your eyes and sleep tight."

  She sang a lullaby unskilfully but little bun didn't mind, his eyes were locked on the fair skin and porcelain doll-like features of Mu Ran as he ignored her 'off tune' singing. He then turned to look at his mother with glittering eyes and pointed at Mu Ran's face. " Abu baba bah!" ' Book this one for me!'

  ' I want this one in the future, so book her for me lest she gets snatched.' That was what little bun wanted to say but even if his thinking was highly developed, his growth was still a little slow since he was drinking the diluted spiritual water from the well. He was yet to speak coherently and there was no way for Yu Dong to understand his ' Abu baba'.

  Only Chen Mi who was paying close attention to his son, started sniggering silently. ' Look at that brat, already getting attracted by bees and butterflies.'

  When Little bun saw that his mother couldn't understand him, he turned to look at Mu Ran who was looking at him with her big eyes that were flickering with confusion. " Ay ophh yaw!" ' You understand right? You will be my friend alone!'

  Mu Ran who was once again slapped by the fussing child looked at her daddy and asked, " what is he saying, Daddy?"

  Little bun: "….." what a dumbo!

  He was really upset that this girl who fascinated him couldn't understand him either and felt like she was a bit too dumb.

  Chu Chang stared at the little boy in his daughter's arms and made a random guess. " Maybe he is feeling comfortable?"

  Mu Ran thought about her younger brother who would stop fussing whenever he was in her arms and nodded. Well, it wasn't her fault that she was well-liked by babies. She smiled at little bun and said, " Oh so, you are comfortable? Then do you want to play upsy daisy?"

  With that, she started to heave-ho as she raised Little bun in her arms.

  Little bun: "……" Though she is a bit dumb, he will let her off since she has a pretty face.
