As soon as Nailong finished speaking, he opened the yogurt and took a sip.
"Whoa~ This is so delicious!" The moment he tasted the first sip, the little Nailong's eyes lit up instantly. He thought to himself: So this is what yogurt tastes like. I'd seen Xiantian and Xia Mei drinking it before, but I never imagined it could taste even better than milk.
After finishing his yogurt, the little Guilong licked the foam from his lips and said happily, "Seeing as you bought me yogurt, I'll generously forgive you for calling me cute this time."
"Hmph! If you call me cute again, all the yogurt in the world won't save you."
The little Nailong put on a fiercely adorable expression as he spoke to Xia Ling.
Looking at the little Nailong who had just finished his yogurt, with a ring of milk still stuck around his mouth, Xia Ling held back her laughter and said with a straight face:
"Got it, message received~ My handsome Second Brother Guilong, next time I'll treat you to strawberry-flavored yogurt."
Hearing Xia Ling say she would treat him to strawberry-flavored yogurt next time, he felt a little flutter of anticipation, but then remembered that Mom and Grandpa would never let him out.Little Guilong lowered his head and said despondently, "All right, a deal's a deal. But it won't be this easy to come out next time; Mom and Grandpa both won't let me out."
Xia Ling tried to look indifferent, but her eyes were full of anticipation as she asked:
"Hey, kid, aren't you afraid I'll steal that idiot Xiantian's body and never let him come back?"
After saying this, little Guilong nervously and expectantly watched Xia Ling's expression out of the corner of his eye.
Xia Ling looked right into Guilong's eyes and said to him with complete sincerity, "Second Brother, I know you wouldn't do that."
"Really, I believe you."
Hearing Xia Ling's words, Guilong looked at her in shock. After locking eyes with her for a second, he hurriedly looked away, quickly lowered his head to take a sip of the yogurt in his hand, and muttered, "Hmph, you really know how to talk big, kid..."
Suddenly, the yogurt in his hand tasted even better. This yogurt was so good—sweet and sour...
From now on, yogurt is my, Guilong's, absolute favorite drink.After Nailong finished drinking the yogurt, Xia Ling said, "Second Brother, I'm going back to my room to sleep. You should go back to sleep soon too after you finish drinking."
With that, she quickly pinched Nailong's little cheek and, before Nailong could recover, dashed back to her room.
Only Nailong's angry voice remained in the kitchen: "Ah... ah... damn stinking girl, how dare you pinch this lord's handsome face!" Though in truth, he was feeling somewhat pleased inside.
Seeing that Xia Ling had already run back to her room, Nailong could only trudge back to his room in a huff, turn back into Xia Tian, lie down on the bed, and continue sleeping.
Ever since that day, Guilong had become very obedient, though his speech remained quite arrogant and cocky. Every day after school, Guilong would be let out for some fresh air, and a bottle of yogurt had to be prepared for him.
During this time, Xia Mei also awakened her ability. Like Xia Tian, she had a battle spirit (Guiwa) inside her body, but because her ability was unstable and she could not control it, Grandpa sealed Sadako with a Dragon Seal.
Although every day was rather boring, with the three clowns Ren Chenwen, Xiami, and Frog Brother around, annoying as they might be, they still managed to bring a little fun to each day.
When Ren Chenwen saw Xia Mei and Xia Ling approaching, he immediately stood at attention and hid the money in his hand into his pocket, but Xia Ling still saw it. "What are you hiding?" she said, rolling her eyes. "I'm not going to rob you."
Xia Mei chimed in from the side with dissatisfaction, "Exactly, my younger sister isn't going to rob you. What are you hiding for, huh?!"
At this, Ren Chenwen said, "Sister Meimei, Sister Ling, didn't you know? Tomorrow is Brother Yu's birthday."
Xia Ling thought about it and realized it was true. Tomorrow was her older brother's birthday, so she needed to think carefully about what gift to get him.
Telling her younger sister to prepare a gift, she decided she would get one for her older brother as well.
"Younger Sister, I want to give a gift to Older Brother too," Xia Mei said happily.
"Younger Sister, I want to prepare a gift for Older Brother too," Xia Tian said with a happy face as well.
"Great! Then let's go pick out gifts together and give Older Brother a surprise tomorrow, hee hee!" With that, she grabbed Xia Mei and Xia Tian by the hands and went off with them to choose gifts.
