Chapter 209: Chapter 208: His gaze makes her uncomfortable

Jiang You hesitated, unsure whether to accept or not, and asked, "Little Auntie, this medicine?"

Mianmian hesitated for a moment, then beckoned Jiang You, "Come closer, come closer."

Jiang You had no choice but to squat down and move closer to Mianmian.

Leaning close to Jiang You’s ear, Mianmian whispered, "There’s Dark Qi above the bridge of your nose, this area is the Dichotomy Palace, and it tells Mianmian that your kidneys are uncomfortable. This pill is to treat you."

Before, Jiang You had heard his teacher say over the phone just how amazing Little Auntie was, but he had thought that it was probably an exaggeration—idle chatter that grew out of hand. Not that incredible.

But as soon as Mianmian said these words, he knew that this child truly had some skill; how else could she have known he had health issues just by glancing at him?

This problem was difficult for an adult man to speak of; he hadn’t told his friends or family, fearing ridicule for having such an ailment without even a girlfriend.

In fact, being diagnosed by a young doctor made Jiang You feel quite embarrassed, and a blush quickly spread across his fair, young face.

"Little Auntie, you, you, you are quite right, I saw a doctor before and also took some Chinese medicine to adjust it, but that medicine was too bitter, and after taking it for a while I really couldn’t stand the bitterness and stopped taking it... So, your medicine, is it bitter?"

Jiang You desperately wanted to heal himself and had already decided to take the medicine if it wasn’t bitter.

When Mianmian heard Jiang You didn’t like to take bitter medicine, she patted him on the head, "Ay, how can a child be afraid of hardship? Our predecessors have endured much more bitterness. If you’re afraid of hardship, you can’t become an outstanding person!"

Jiang You found it novel to be patted on the head, as he had never received such comfort from a child before.

But being told by a child that he couldn’t handle bitterness still made him feel somewhat embarrassed, and just as he was about to argue, he heard a soft, mushy voice beside his ear, "Just now it was Little Auntie Mianmian, but now it’s the three-year-eight-month-old Little Friend Mianmian. Mianmian will tell you a secret, just you, and you mustn’t tell anyone else!"

The tone of sharing a small secret couldn’t be any cuter.

Jiang You couldn’t help but nod, signaling he wouldn’t tell, and the next second, he heard the little secret from the three-year-eight-month-old Little Friend Mianmian.

"Actually, I also don’t like to drink the bitter Chinese medicine, it’s really hard to swallow!"

The many "really hard" emphasized Mianmian’s complaint about the bitter medicine.

Jiang You couldn’t help but laugh, "Yeah, it’s true, it’s really hard to swallow! So, your medicine, it must not be bitter, right?"

Mianmian giggled, "Jiang You, my seventh grandchild, you are a bit silly. These are pills, just swallow them with water and you won’t taste the bitterness at all."

Jiang You was amused by Mianmian’s childlike way of speaking and his voice, usually that of a normal adult man, became childlike as well, "That’s true, that’s true, the seventh grandchild is indeed a bit silly. I’ll take these pills then, thank you, Little Auntie!"

Mianmian patted Jiang You’s head again, glanced at her seventh grandchild nearby, and said, "Mianmian is off to give out amulets for peace over there; you keep up the good work, Jiang You."

After saying these words, Mianmian ran over to where Su Chenfei and Xu Weiwei were.

Now, both Su Chenfei and Xu Weiwei were pondering, while their teacher sat under the parasol, taking a sip of tea.

Mianmian thought this was a good time to speak without disturbing anyone and took out an amulet, handing it to the elderly lady under the parasol, "Hello there, I’m Su Chenfei’s auntie, Su Mianmian. I’d like to present this amulet as a gift for our first meeting."

The elderly lady looked down at Mianmian, neither warmly nor coldly replied, "An amulet for peace? I don’t believe in those things, little friend, keep it for yourself."

When Mianmian heard the elder lady didn’t believe in amulets and didn’t insist, looking at Xu Weiwei who was watching her, she offered the amulet, "Zeze’s mom, here’s an amulet for you."

Xu Weiwei was thrilled to see Mianmian, her smile beaming, "Little Auntie, what are you doing here?"

"I came... to see you all," Mianmian said, careful not to scare Xu Weiwei by mentioning the ghosts that might be watching her, she slightly held back the truth.

Hopping a little, she extended the safety talisman towards Xu Weiwei, "Here, here, take this. You must wear it, and it cannot get wet."

Xu Weiwei quickly accepted it, noticing from the corner of her eye that the teacher’s gaze was rather sharp. Although she was a bit scared of this teacher, she thought of a way to stuff the talisman into the inner pocket of her period costume.

With Little Auntie being so formidable, she would wear it even if the teacher disliked it.

Seeing Xu Weiwei accept the talisman, Mianmian turned to speak to her seventh grandchild, "Seventh grandchild, Mianmian misses you so much."

Su Chenfei was half-closing one eye and keeping the other open, wondering when Little Auntie would speak to him. Finally, when the moment came, he turned his face away and let out a dismissive "Hmph!" from his nose.

Mianmian hurried to the side Su Chenfei was facing and, raising her small hands anxiously, asked, "What’s wrong, seventh grandchild, are you angry?"

Turning his head, Su Chenfei continued to humph, crossing his arms, and even stamped his foot.

His stance was far too feminine, making the old lady under the sun umbrella involuntarily shudder twice, sprinkling goosebumps all over the floor.

However, she knew this was just their way of interacting as relatives and didn’t speak out, silently putting on her sunglasses to adopt an ’out of sight, out of mind’ attitude.

Listening to Mianmian’s repeated "Seventh grandchild, why are you angry?" and "Seventh grandchild, don’t be mad," delivered in her soft, glutinous child’s voice, Su Chenfei couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, "Little Auntie, why didn’t you speak to me first?"

Mianmian replied, "Because Mianmian saw that your teacher over there is the most senior in rank, so I had to speak first to the person with the highest status."

Su Chenfei asked, "And what about Xu Weiwei?"

Mianmian explained further, "Because Xu Weiwei saw me first, so Mianmian spoke to her first. Seventh grandchild, do you still have your safety talisman?"

Su Chenfei nodded and showed it to Mianmian.

The sleeves of the costume he was wearing were tied up, and the safety talisman was bound to his arm.

It had to be hidden this way; otherwise, wearing it around the neck would interfere with filming.

Mianmian, satisfied at seeing the talisman, nodded and waved her small hand, "Then keep working hard on filming, Mianmian is going to go out for a stroll."

After saying this, without waiting for Su Chenfei to ask her to stay, she ran off towards the outside.

She ran too fast and nearly bumped into someone.

Mianmian steadied her small body, and when she looked up, her eyes widened in surprise, "Oh, it’s you, the destined one from Mianmian’s live-stream, the owner of that dog, that Yang, Yang, Yang what? Hmm, I can’t recall."

Yang Xian looked down at Little Douding, his tone as cold as it had been during the live-stream, "My name is Yang Xian."

"Right, Yang Xian, I told you we were destined to meet again, and look, we’ve met again," Mianmian nodded.

"Now it seems that we indeed have a destiny," Yang Xian said.

He had a dark complexion, but with fine features, and now that his clothes were cleaner than before, he looked much better.

Mianmian found it strange; even though Yang Xian was better looking now than during the live-stream, she preferred him then because his gaze right now made her very uncomfortable.

It was like a man-eating vortex, ready to swallow her whole, chomp chomp!
