Chapter 299 Taozi’s Morning

Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Taozi’s Morning

Jiang Taoshi faintly heard the voices of children in her ears, drowsy and unable to hear clearly, she instinctively wanted to listen more attentively, and her drowsiness began to fade, but she was not completely awake yet.

Opening her eyes, she looked around, everything seemed a bit unfamiliar, until her gaze fell on the light gauze stirred by the Sea Wind, and only then did she fully wake up.

She remembered that last night was her first overnight stay at Shen Siyuan’s home.

And the voices she heard were those of Dou Dou and Duoduo; as for Xiao Yue, she was always quiet, not uttering a word.

She got out of bed, drew the curtains, and sunlight streamed in from outside.

Passing through her thin-as-gauze nightgown, it left a hazy and charming silhouette.

Jiang Taoshi was not tall, but her figure was well-proportioned, full-bodied, giving off a sense of lush abundance. According to Northern people, this meant she looked very auspicious and had the appearance of good fortune.

"It’s my turn, my turn..."

At this moment, Jiang Taoshi heard Dou Dou’s eager voice by her ear.

Driven by curiosity, she went straight out of the room.

Only to see Dou Dou and Duoduo in the living room fighting over riding an inflatable bouncy horse, Xiao Yue sitting quietly to one side, gazing out of the balcony, sunlight casting mottled shadows through the entrance.

"You’re awake, huh? Once you wash up and brush your teeth, come and have breakfast."

Shen Siyuan’s voice rang in her ears, and following the voice, she saw Shen Siyuan standing in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

The kitchen was open-plan, separated from the living room by just a counter.

Watching Shen Siyuan’s radiant smile, Jiang Taoshi felt somewhat bewildered; in that moment, she suddenly felt an incredibly unreal sensation.

This scene resembled that of a warm family, frightening her into shaking her head quickly, casting aside these impractical thoughts.

Then her mood brightened again, and she cheerfully approached the kitchen, sniffing with her nose, and asked Shen Siyuan, "What did you make this morning?"

"Milk, sandwiches, noodles, braised eggs, and pan-fried meat patties."

"Wow, a fusion of Chinese and Western, I want the meat patty," Jiang Taoshi said, her face full of delight.

"There’s some for you, you should hurry and brush your teeth, wash your face."

"There’s enough for me too, hurry up and wash up."

Shen Siyuan looked down for a moment then quickly averted his gaze; her light nightgown hardly concealed her voluptuous figure, especially against the light.

"Make mine a little smaller, I can’t finish if it’s too big and it would be wasted."

"I’ll give you half, and I’ll have the rest."

Shen Siyuan had prepared such a lavish breakfast early in the morning not just for variety, but because he had a large appetite and ate a lot.

"That’s very kind of you," said Jiang Taoshi happily at his words.

Then she looked around and asked curiously, "Where’s Ruan Ruan?"

"She hasn’t gotten up yet, don’t disturb her, let her sleep a bit more," Shen Siyuan said.

"The sun is already shining on your butt, still sleeping?" Jiang Taoshi muttered softly.

Then she said, "You’ve worked hard, I’ll go and brush my teeth."

With that, she turned around and returned to her room.

Her room not only had a separate bathroom but also had individual toiletries.

By the time she came to the sink and saw herself in the mirror, she suddenly realized, her cheeks turned red in an instant, and like the diffusion of ink in a painting, it spread to her earlobes and neck, all the way down to the exposed part of her chest, her entire person completely blushed in warmth.

The reason for such a reaction was that only now did she notice how thin her pajamas were, revealing everything underneath quite clearly.

But she couldn’t be blamed; the temperature in Bin Hai was always high, so no one would wear thick pajamas to bed at night, the lighter the better; in fact, many people also chose to sleep naked.

"Just think of it as a swimsuit, what’s the big deal?"

Jiang Taoshi comforted herself in her heart, and that made her feel a bit better, the warm blush slowly dissipating.

Bin Hai was particularly crowded with tourists, and naturally, there were many who went swimming in the sea, so it was common to see girls at the beach or in front of hotel entrances wearing cool bikinis, moving about freely and comfortably, without feeling the slightest embarrassment.

Back when they were at Guanghui Animation, Wang Chao and the others liked to wander around the nearby beach when they were resting, and that’s why.

Of course, sometimes they would also run into obese aunts with their flesh tightly squeezed, looking like big green caterpillars, which had a strong cooling effect.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Jiang Taoshi changed into a new set of clothes and re-emerged from her room, feigning nonchalance as she sat down at the dining table.

Soon enough, Shen Siyuan placed a plate in front of her, with half a meat patty and a sandwich inside, accompanied by some fruits and vegetables—it looked quite substantial.

"That’s too much, I’m afraid I can’t eat this much."

She had barely finished her sentence when a glass of milk was set before her. Now, she really couldn’t finish it all.

She belonged to the type that loved to eat but had a small appetite—a big fan but not much of a player.

"It doesn’t matter, I’ll eat whatever you can’t finish," Shen Siyuan responded casually.

On hearing this, Jiang Taoshi was pleased and picked up her knife and fork. She first cut the meat patty and the sandwich in half and set them aside, so they wouldn’t get messed up in case she really couldn’t eat them.

At that moment, she felt her calf being bumped. Looking down, she saw Dou Dou riding a bouncy horse, looking up at her.

"Auntie, you look so pretty today," Dou Dou said.

"Little flatterer," Jiang Taoshi chuckled with pursed lips.

Dou Dou turned to glance at the bouncy horse’s bottom she was riding on, round and adorable, which immediately cheered her up.

(picture of a bouncy horse)

She thought the comment was a compliment to her, praising her as a little fairy riding a horse’s bum.

So she happily bounced away on the bouncy horse.

Jiang Taoshi was also delighted—she was very satisfied with her outfit today.

She wore a pink short-sleeve shirt on top and a white lace skirt on the bottom, with her hair loosely draped over her shoulders, exuding youthful energy and giving off a first-love vibe.

Just then, Shen Siyuan, with two plates in hand, sat opposite her, leaving her dumbfounded.

She knew that Shen Siyuan had a big appetite, but she had never seen him eat quite that much. One plate was piled high with several layers of pan-fried meat patties, and the other was a stack of sandwiches.

"What are you looking at, eat up," Shen Siyuan said.

Then he ate one meat patty at a time, two sandwiches in a couple of bites, which left Jiang Taoshi dumbfounded yet again.

And that wasn’t all; Shen Siyuan got up and brought over a glass of milk.

However, it was one of those super-large coffee pots, a whole pot filled with milk, which he gulped down in a few swigs right before her eyes.

Jiang Taoshi: ...

Jiang Taoshi glanced down at her own plate and quickly pushed the halves of the meat patty and sandwich she had cut onto Shen Siyuan’s plate.

"This is for you too," Jiang Taoshi said.

"Can’t finish it?"

Jiang Taoshi nodded, adding, "I cut them with a knife, didn’t touch..."

She didn’t get to finish her sentence before she saw Shen Siyuan stab the meat patty with his fork, then the sandwich, and stuff them into his mouth together.

"What were you saying?"

"No... nothing..." Jiang Taoshi stuttered a little.

She now truly feared that Shen Siyuan might just open his mouth and swallow her in one gulp.

"Could Shen Siyuan be some monster in disguise?"

This thought suddenly sprang up in her heart and ran wild.

But while thinking about it, her mind drifted to something else, making her cheeks flush with red again and her lips uncontrollably curl upward.

The Shen Siyuan sitting opposite her found it oddly amusing—how could a breakfast make someone blush and smile like that?
