Chapter 166: I Want to Hold You and Spin You Around
Leaving the smoking go-kart behind, the three walked forward, traversing the long, tree-lined avenue. The front half of the Qianqian Manor was all landscape area.
Mountains, forests, lakes, and hills were everywhere. But as they walked deeper, small buildings began to appear on the distant gentle slopes.
Jiang Zhou, in his previous life, had never been inside even once. This time, he saw the full view of the manor clearly.
It was grand, but a scenic area is a scenic area. It didn’t look like a home.
At that moment, Feng Yiyi suddenly looked up. “Brother-in-law, look, my sister is over there.”
Following the voice, Jiang Zhou looked up and saw Feng Siruo sitting by the lake.
She was wearing a thick white down jacket. Her long hair was tied up into a bun. Her small nose was red from the cold, complementing the blush on her cheeks.
In front of her was an easel. The pen in her hand dabbed paint and brushed it onto the paper. Because it was winter, the distant trees were bare. But Feng Siruo’s painting depicted spring. Lush trees covered the distant mountains, and the verdant lake surface rippled with blue waves.
So, this girl isn’t just fast at running. She seems to be quite talented at painting too.
“You two go play inside the house.”
Feng Yiyi looked up. “Why?”
Jiang Zhou lowered his voice. “Don’t be a third wheel during a reunion.”
“Will you two kiss and hug and lift her high?”
As the words fell, both Feng Yiyi and Jiang Yuqi looked excited.
Are young girls this precocious now?
Jiang Zhou glanced at her. “Kiss your sister.”
Feng Yiyi paused. “I don’t have a younger sister, but my older sister does…”
“Just get lost!”
The two girls huffed, turned, and ran toward the small building.
The manor was vast, and the view was open. They could still see everything perfectly from the window of the small building!
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhou took out his phone and opened Feng Siruo’s QQ.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m painting.” Feng Siruo took out her phone and tossed the paintbrush aside.
The corner of Jiang Zhou’s mouth lifted. “Did you miss me today?”
“No.”
“Really didn’t? Then I won’t come to see you.”
“No, no! You have to come…”
At the same time the message was sent, Feng Siruo looked up and rubbed her eyes.
Because Jiang Zhou was behind her, he couldn’t tell if she was rubbing her eyes or wiping away tears. But her small nose seemed to have twitched twice.
It wasn’t impossible that she was crying from missing him.
Jiang Zhou continued typing. “I’m not very busy lately. I’ll probably be heading to Beihai soon.”
“When? I’ll come pick you up.”
“Hmm? You dare go to the airport by yourself?”
Feng Siruo tilted her head and thought for a moment, then replied, “I’ll wait for you at the main gate!”
Jiang Zhou was amused. “Did you behave yourself all these days?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Then close your eyes, stand up, and spin around. There’s a reward.”
Feng Siruo closed her eyes and turned a full 360 degrees. Although she turned to face him, because she was so obedient, she didn’t open her eyes until she was back in her original position.
“I finished spinning.”
“Do you feel anything?”
Feng Siruo tapped her finger. “A little dizzy. I want to go back.”
“Then go back. There’s a surprise waiting.”
Jiang Zhou put away his phone and looked at her.
The foolish girl put away her easel, closed the paint box, picked up her small stool, patted it twice, and started to walk away. But as soon as she turned around, she suddenly saw him.
Feng Siruo’s dazed look gradually solidified, and her small mouth immediately dropped open.
“Jiang Zhou…”
“Yes, it’s me. Come here for a hug.”
Feng Siruo dropped the easel and ran over, but she didn’t jump into his arms.
She stood in front of Jiang Zhou, her eyes constantly flickering.
This was her home. To be honest, she didn’t dare to hug him. But she could look, staring intently.
“I have some things to do in Beihai recently, so I came to see you.”
“Okay.”
“But time is tight, and the task is heavy. I can’t stay long and play with you.”
“Okay.”
“But today, I have plenty of time and no other plans.”
“Okay.”
Feng Siruo looked at him, nodding her small head like a pecking chick.
Of course, it was okay.
What wasn’t okay? She never expected to see him so soon. She even thought he might not come if he was too busy.
Now, he was right in front of her, so everything he said was fine. Even if her replies were just mumbled sounds, it was fine.
Jiang Zhou cleared his throat. “No one else is watching right now. I’m going to pick you up and spin you around.”
Feng Siruo’s cheeks instantly flushed.
She lowered her head slightly. “H-Hurry up…”
“If I spin too fast, you’ll throw up.”
“Oh.”
Jiang Zhou opened his arms and wrapped them around her slender waist.
A faint, elegant fragrance wafted toward him, making him want to take a deep breath.
At that moment, his biceps flexed slightly, and Feng Siruo’s feet left the ground. The socially-awkward princess’s cheeks were flushed, and all he could hear was her quick breathing.
Jiang Zhou spun her around once, then put her back down on the ground and patted her head.
“D-Did you finish spinning?”
“Yes, I finished. Didn’t feel it?”
Feng Siruo’s eyes widened slightly. She was a little incredulous.
“You didn’t spin, did you?”
Jiang Zhou picked her up again and spun her around once more. “How about now?”
“Now, yes.”
“Want another spin?”
“Okay.”
Jiang Zhou immediately picked her up and spun her around, making her feet fly up.
Feng Siruo giggled, completely happy.
There were no surprises in her life. Meals were prepared and brought to her by a dedicated chef. The scenery in the manor didn’t change much, only the transition between spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
She didn’t have many friends. No one came to see her besides Ding Yue. All she did was paint, water flowers, and play the piano.
It seemed colorful, but she was always alone.
But today was different. The manor today seemed to have been splashed with a layer of oil paint. It was vibrant and moving, beautiful everywhere. So, this was the true feeling of having “spring and autumn in one’s eyes.”
“Wow, my heart is melting. I want Brother-in-law to hug me and spin me around too.”
Feng Yiyi clenched her hands and held them to her chest, her eyes full of envy.
Jiang Yuqi couldn’t help but look at her. “That’s a nice thought. Don’t think it again.”
“Why not! I’m his sister! I also have the right to be hugged!”
“No, you’re not,” Jiang Yuqi said. “I’m the sister!”
While the two were talking, they didn’t notice someone appearing behind them. She was holding a cup of coffee and also looked out the window.
When her gaze landed on Jiang Zhou and Feng Siruo, her expression was slightly surprised.
So brazen! He even chased her all the way home?
Feng Yiyun touched Feng Yiyi’s head. “Yiyi, you were the one who opened the gate, weren’t you?”
At the sound of the voice, Feng Yiyi instantly froze. That voice belonged to her aunt!
Brother-in-law had said before that aunt wanted to break them up! It’s over, it’s all over!
Feng Yiyi forced herself to turn around calmly. “A-Auntie, why are you here?”
“I came to see my little Siruo, but I couldn’t find her.”
“Don’t look!”
“Why? I can’t even look?”
“It’s fake! It’s all an illusion, all an illusion! There’s no brother-in-law! My sister is just spinning around on her own, with both feet off the ground!” Feng Yiyi waved her two small hands, trying to hypnotize Feng Siruo’s aunt.
Feng Yiyun pinched her face. “You better remember to delete the surveillance footage for me!”
“Huh?”
“A strange man sneaking into the manor and hugging our eldest young lady. that would be terrible if someone found out.”
Feng Yiyi looked surprised. “Auntie, aren’t you trying to break them up?”
Feng Yiyun took a sip of coffee. “They’re so clearly in love. If I tried to break them up, it would cause a lot of trouble, wouldn’t it?”
“Then can I find a boyfriend too?!”
“No. Auntie hasn’t found one, so you can keep Auntie company.”
Feng Yiyi’s eyes widened. “I don’t want to!”
Feng Yiyun smiled and looked at Jiang Yuqi. “You’re Jiang Zhou’s sister?”
Jiang Yuqi nodded. “Hello, Auntie. My name is Jiang Yuqi.”
“It’s your first time at the house. Here’s a gift for you.”
“Ah? Is that okay?”
Feng Yiyun took a bracelet off her wrist and put it on Jiang Yuqi’s hand. “It’s a small thing. Not worth much.”
Jiang Yuqi’s eyes twinkled. “Auntie, my brother was so naughty when he was little. Should I tell you all about it?”
“That sounds great. Tell me everything.”
