Chapter 453: Chapter 453: A Boisterous Morning

Although interrupted by Dou Dou, Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t feel awkward.

She climbed down from Shen Siyuan’s arms and looked at Dou Dou’s hands.

"Where did you get that harmonica?"

"Found it in the house," Dou Dou said happily.

"You really have a knack for finding things. It’s either Duoduo’s or Tang Tang’s," Shen Siyuan guessed.

"It should be something Tang Tang just bought in the past couple of days," Ruan Hongzhuang speculated.

She hadn’t seen it before.

And she was right. The harmonica was something Taozi bought for her when they visited the countryside recently. The little one loved it.

Now Dou Dou had found it from somewhere, and she liked it too.

"Sister, teach me to play."

Dou Dou directly handed the harmonica to Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Why not let me teach you?" Shen Siyuan said.

"You can’t play?"

"How do you know I can’t?"

"I can just tell by looking. You don’t look like you can, but sister looks like she can." Dou Dou twisted the logic.

"Little flatterer," Shen Siyuan said.

Hearing this, Dou Dou ran back inside quickly and soon came out bouncing on an inflatable hopping horse.

"Okay, now praise me," Dou Dou looked up at Shen Siyuan.

"Praise you for what?"

Shen Siyuan looked bewildered and turned to Ruan Hongzhuang, who was equally confused.

"Praise me for being a flatterer," Dou Dou said.

Shen Siyuan: "..."

"Why would you think that was a compliment?"

"I’m already riding a little horse, so I’m really a spirit on a horse’s butt," Dou Dou said, patting the inflated rump of the hopping horse behind her with a small hand.

Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter together, laughing so hard they couldn’t breathe.

"What are you laughing at?"

Dou Dou looked puzzled, her face full of silly cuteness.

"Nothing, you teach her; I’ll go change clothes," Shen Siyuan said with a smile and went back to the room.

Watching his back, Dou Dou said to Ruan Hongzhuang, "That strange Potato, sister, don’t turn strange like him after eating his saliva."

Ruan Hongzhuang: ...

Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t want to waste words with her and began to play the harmonica.

She had a good eye; Ruan Hongzhuang indeed could play the harmonica, and she played it very well.

She played "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," a tune Dou Dou was familiar with, so Dou Dou was very happy. She lay on Ruan Hongzhuang’s lap, looking up at her, her little face full of surprise and admiration.

The pure, unmixed worship of a child is simply the most beautiful compliment, and Ruan Hongzhuang was subtly influenced, playing several pieces in a row, waking up Taozi, who was having a lazy lie-in, and bringing her out of the room.

As for Mao Sanmei and Tang Tang, they were naturally unaffected, but Mao Sanmei still got up because she needed to prepare breakfast at this time every day.

Seeing Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang awake earlier than her, she felt embarrassed and repeatedly apologized to them.

Taozi looked at Ruan Hongzhuang, radiant and full of energy, and was very surprised.

"You seem a little different," Taozi said.

"What’s different?"

Hearing this, Taozi leaned towards Ruan Hongzhuang and whispered, "Does doing that really make such a big difference?"

"What? What? I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

"Don’t play dumb with me. I’ve noticed that since you were with Shen Siyuan, not only did your skin improve, but you also looked younger, and I feel like you have endless energy every day now."

Spending all day with Ruan Hongzhuang, Taozi could actually feel the change in her the most.

"You don’t need to ask me; you’ll find out later."

"Find out what? Don’t say nonsense," Taozi said with a flushed face.

"I heard from Dou Dou that you fooled around last night, and Si Yuan wasn’t even dressed," Ruan Hongzhuang said with a teasing smile.

"You listen to her... uhm..."

Taozi was about to say that Dou Dou made it up, when she looked down and saw Dou Dou tilted to the side, her little head turned, ears perked, trying hard to eavesdrop on their whispers.

"You little thing." Taozi gave a playful tap on her little head.

Unfazed, Dou Dou immediately reached out, twisted her hand on Taozi’s pale thigh, and then turned to run away.

Taozi gasped and chased after Dou Dou.

"Don’t run, stand still."

"Hmph, I won’t. You want to spank me. I won’t listen to you. I’m going to tell my mom and let her spank you."

"I’m not afraid of your mom."

"Then I’ll tell Great Grandmother that you’re bullying me, and she’ll definitely help me," Dou Dou said.

"Great Grandmother is already an old lady and can’t beat me; I’m not afraid of her."

"Wow, you’re so bad, you even want to hit Great Grandmother. I’m going to tell mom, tell grandpa and grandma, tell Potato..." Dou Dou said in shock.

"When did I say I wanted to hit Great Grandmother?"

Taozi chased Dou Dou all around the house, finally chasing her into the playroom, but when she caught up, Dou Dou was nowhere to be seen.

Taozi searched around but couldn’t find anyone, so she left the room.

Seeing her leave, Dou Dou revealed herself with sneaky laughter, like a little thief.

But soon, she turned her gaze to the wall behind her.

She had just run into the room in a hurry, too eager to hide, disappeared into ghost form, and ran straight through the wall, finding herself in another room.

She hesitated for a moment, then phased through the wall to the next room.

Curiously, she looked around this unfamiliar room.

There was an alarm clock, a cup, a cabinet, and photos. Hey, these two people look familiar?

Dou Dou saw a photo frame on the bedside table, and the people in the photo looked very familiar.

Just then, a small figure entered from the door, saw Dou Dou, and exclaimed, "Thief."

"No, no, it’s me; I’m Dou Dou," Dou Dou hurriedly explained.

"Dou Dou the thief."

Dou Dou: ヽ(｀⌒´メ)ノ

It turned out that passing through the wall led to Duoduo’s house.

"Hehehe..." Seeing Dou Dou angry, Duoduo laughed delightedly.

"Duoduo, what’s so funny that you’re laughing so much?"

Lin Jianming saw his daughter standing at the door giggling and was curious.

"There’s a thief," Duoduo pointed into the room.

Lin Jianming was startled by what he heard and quickly rushed over to take a look inside the room, but found it empty.

Before he could question Duoduo, Dou Dou revealed herself, frantically waving her hands, "I’m not a thief; I’m Dou Dou."

"Dou Dou the thief."

Frustrated, Dou Dou waved her small hands and rushed towards Duoduo, ready for a playful fight.

Duoduo wasn’t about to back down and waved her small fists, both preparing for a "kitten scratch" battle.

Lin Jianming laughed heartily and quickly separated the two.

Song Qingwei heard the commotion and came out from the kitchen.

"Oh my, Dou Dou is here."

As one of Duoduo’s few friends, Song Qingwei was very welcoming of Dou Dou’s arrival.

At this time, Tang Tang next door had also woken up and was searching for her harmonica everywhere.
