Chapter 491 Xiaobai Was Hatched by Si Lisao! 2
Gu Shurong clung to Ye Jingzhe’s leg, sat beside him, and looked up. "I told them we all grew up in the Mu Continent, but he didn’t. We’re not with him."
So naughty, these children!
Sheng Liangliang rushed over, hugging Si Mingjing’s thigh. "Mom, could you trick Brother out of his room? We want to give him a surprise; we’re preparing a happy birthday room for him."
Si Mingjing couldn’t bring herself to chide them and got up to look for Xiaobai.
Xiaobai slept in a bedroom by himself. He was in the bathroom taking a bath and was in quite a bad mood!
Si Mingjing pushed the door open; the entire bathroom was filled with bubbles, a white, bubbly expanse...
Si Mingjing could hardly see where Ye Nianbai was. "Xiaobai, where are you?"
Suddenly, from the white bubbles in the bathroom, a pair of large, golden eyes emerged, blinking. "Jingjing, Little Master is here."
Si Mingjing grabbed a clean towel, scooped him up, carried him back to her bedroom, and turned on fresh water to rinse the bubbles off his body.
After wiping him down, she saw the shiny, round, and smooth Dragon Horns on his forehead.
The little guy stretched out his short arms and poked at his Dragon Horns, seemingly trying to make them even shinier.
Si Mingjing rinsed off all the slippery bath foam from his body, carried him back to the bed in her bedroom, and gently pinched his nose.
"Jingjing, when are we going back to Yecheng?"
Ye Nianbai had only been there for one day and already wanted to leave. In his heart, this place wasn’t home; it lacked a sense of belonging.
His younger brothers and sisters had all grown up here, but he hadn’t!
Ye Nianbai wanted to go home. Tomorrow was his birthday, and he wanted to spend it with his grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
"Jingjing, Little Master doesn’t like this place at all!"
"You’ll like it tomorrow."
He didn’t like it now because his other siblings had egged him on, and he was in a bit of a mood.
Si Mingjing brought over the hairdryer to dry his hair.
Ye Nianbai huffed, "Jingjing, you have no place for Little Master in your heart anymore!"
"Nonsense."
"Jingjing, your heart is full of too many people now, but Little Master’s heart only has you."
Little Master had told Jingjing how upset he was, but Jingjing didn’t know how to comfort him. How infuriating!
Si Mingjing dried the little guy’s hair until it was fluffy and airy, making him look both cool and cute. She reflected, "Jingjing has been a bit busy lately. I’ll spend more time with you in the future."
"Hmph, women and their deceiving words!"
Regardless, Little Master must be properly appeased; he must be made happy!
"For Jingjing’s sake, Little Master has even left his homeland!"
Every word from that little mouth was filled with accusation.
Si Mingjing didn’t even know how to comfort him anymore. She said, "Mom has to stay in the Mu Continent to earn merits for Brother Xiangru, so Brother Xiangru can become like you and play with you every day."
"Can’t we go to Yecheng?" Ye Nianbai’s tone softened; he also missed Brother Xiangru.
Si Mingjing put the hairdryer aside and held Ye Nianbai in her arms, saying, "No. Don’t you want Brother Xiangru to also turn into a little dragon, go to school with you every day, and play together?"
Ye Nianbai nodded his cool and cute little head vigorously. "Yes."
"Good."
Ye Nianbai stretched out his chubby little hands and hugged Si Mingjing’s neck tightly. He was still sulky and felt wronged. But when he thought about how Brother Xiangru was even more pitiful—he himself was just leaving his homeland, while Brother Xiangru had to remain a fish... Thinking this, he swallowed all his anger.
A true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm. Little Master couldn’t be bothered to be angry with his siblings!
He’d only stay mad for a minute at most, then he absolutely wouldn’t be mad anymore!
Ye Nianbai counted in his head: 60, 59, 58, 57, 56...
When he got to the number "1", Ye Nianbai squeezed out a reluctant smile, showing off his two rows of little teeth. He even shook his most cherished little Dragon Horns and said, "Jingjing, Little Master isn’t mad anymore! Quick, praise Little Master!"
"Amazing!" Si Mingjing gave Ye Nianbai a rewarding kiss on the cheek.
"Jingjing, Little Master is going back to sleep now!"
Ye Nianbai was becoming more independent and wouldn’t linger in his parents’ room. He wanted to go back to sleep. When he woke up, it would be his birthday, and he was quite looking forward to it.
Si Mingjing, thinking of the other children’s requests, didn’t let him go. "Mommy will watch some TV with you."
"There’s nothing Little Master wants to watch."
Ye Nianbai wasn’t interested in anything and just wanted to go back to sleep.
"Then let’s go find Daddy!"
Si Mingjing led Ye Nianbai down to the dining room. Sure enough, the men had been drinking and could clearly go on for hours.
Si Mingjing asked someone to bring some snacks that children enjoy. She sat with Ye Nianbai beside her. She hadn’t eaten much at the funeral banquet earlier, and seeing the table laden with rich dishes, she decided to have a late-night snack.
Si Lisao’s gaze, deep and observant, fell on Ye Nianbai. Noticing the child’s glum mood, he ruffled his small head and said, "Call me Uncle."
Ye Nianbai’s languid eyelids shot up. "Little Master doesn’t have an uncle!"
But the anticipation in his eyes couldn’t be completely hidden!
All his younger brothers and sisters had uncles, so why shouldn’t Little Master!
Little Master wouldn’t stand for this!
"You will from now on."
Si Lisao knew that in just a few hours it would be Ye Nianbai’s birthday. He had long prepared a birthday gift, planning to give it to him before he left.
Si Lisao made a phone call, asking for the gift to be brought over.
It was a set of building blocks similar to Lego, which Ye Nianbai couldn’t put down.
His clear little voice was overjoyed. "Thank you, Uncle! Will you be Little Master’s uncle from now on? Will you always be Little Master’s uncle?"
Si Lisao gave Ye Nianbai an affirmative look. "Always."
This child... he was the one who had hatched him!
His little sister had merely laid a clutch of eggs. However, for the little dragon hatchlings to break out of their shells, they required personal incubation by a male of the Dragon Clan.
This was something his little sister didn’t quite understand.
Si Mingjing had given Xiaobai to Mo Yinhe. If he, Si Lisao, hadn’t personally incubated him, the child wouldn’t have been able to hatch from the egg months later!
Mo Yinhe didn’t know this, and neither did Si Mingjing.
With his lover missing, Mo Yinhe was too busy searching high and low for her, completely uninterested in the eggs she had left behind.
During that time, Ye Siyuan was the one looking after the dragon eggs.
Si Lisao had sneaked into the Ye Family estate and personally incubated the eggs, warning Ye Siyuan to keep her mouth shut.
Therefore, aside from Ye Siyuan, no one else in the Ye Family knew.
That... must have been their first truly significant interaction.
Later, after Xiaobai hatched, Si Lisao returned to the Mu Continent.
Half a year later, Ye Siyuan came to the Mu Continent seeking inspiration, unaware that she would be the girl to help him complete his coming-of-age ceremony.
Fate truly plays tricks on people; perhaps this was destiny.
In that sense, Xiaobai had acted as the matchmaker between him and Ye Siyuan.
Si Lisao reached out and gently ruffled Xiaobai’s round little head. "Uncle wishes you a happy birthday in advance."
