The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chu Liyuan carried the sleeping Jian Dan on his back, standing on the bus all the way back home…

Along the way, Chu Liyuan tried to keep his body still, not wishing to wake the little lass on his back.

On Chu Liyuan’s back, Jian Dan kept smacking her lips, as if she was eating something…

Because at that moment, Jian Dan was dreaming of a feast!

She hadn’t had anything to eat since lunch, not even a drop of water had passed her lips!

Saliva dribbled from the corner of Jian Dan’s mouth onto Chu Liyuan’s back…

As she ate, Jian Dan felt something cool on her face, so she reached out to touch it, but found nothing, she touched again…

Jian Dan finally woke up as they were about to arrive at Li Garden…

How did she fall asleep? When had she fallen asleep without any memory of it?

Jian Dan rubbed her eyes and saw that she had dampened a large patch of Uncle’s shirt with her saliva.

No way, how could she drool? It was too embarrassing!

Jian Dan held her forehead, unwilling to look up.

“Awake?” Uncle’s magnetic voice reached Jian Dan’s ears, leaving her unable to pretend any longer.

“Hehe~ Yeah!

Uncle, I think my saliva got your shirt dirty!” Jian Dan said, embarrassed.

She never drooled in her sleep, okay? How could she drop the ball at a time like this?

“It’s fine!”

“Eh~ Why are we on a bus?” It was only then that Jian Dan noticed she and Uncle were actually on a bus.

Jian Dan felt truly slow-witted, realizing only upon waking that she was still on Uncle’s back, she should have understood immediately!

“Because it’s spacious!”

Upon hearing Uncle’s words, Jian Dan instantly understood his intention.

“Uncle, you must be tired from carrying me for so long, put me down quickly!”

Initially, Jian Dan just wanted Uncle to carry her for a little while, she hadn’t expected him to do so for such a long time.

“We’re almost there!”

Jian Dan glanced out of the bus window. “There’s still a distance to go! Let me down!”

“It’s okay, you’re not heavy!” He wouldn’t mind carrying Jian Jian for a lifetime; he wouldn’t feel tired.

“But…”

“No buts. If you’re sleepy, sleep a bit longer. I’ll wake you when we get home!”

“I won’t sleep anymore, I’ll keep Uncle company and chat!

Uncle, you’ve been standing for so long, take a seat. There are plenty of spots!” Jian Dan pointed to the seats nearby.

Chu Liyuan, holding Jian Dan in front of him, sat down in the spot Jian Jian had pointed out… “What did you do today to be this tired?” Chu Liyuan asked gently.

If she hadn’t been so exhausted today, how could Jian Jian have climbed onto his back and fallen asleep?

“Of course, I went out to do good deeds!”

“What good deeds? Tell me about them.” Seeing Jian Jian had already brightened his mood significantly, and now that the issue with the silk had been resolved, the gloom of the past few days had lifted.

So now, Chu Liyuan was in a very good mood.

“Helping your little niece regain her confidence counts as a good deed, doesn’t it?”

“You’re talking about Qin Rou?”

“Yes! Don’t even mention it. Today was so tough for us! I didn’t know there were no cars around, so I let the taxi that dropped us off leave. In the end, we walked a long way before we encountered an old man with a donkey cart, who took us to the main road, and only then did we catch a ride!”

“Why didn’t you let me pick you up?”

“Well… I just didn’t think of it at the time!” She couldn’t let Uncle know she had called him.

“You little scatterbrain!

From now on, remember to think of me first thing in any situation, got it?”

“Okay!

Uncle, don’t you think that taking the bus can be quite interesting? If we have time, we could invite friends to take a bus ride out for a trip!”

Jian Dan looked out the window, her mood lifted….
