A Villainous Childhood Sweetheart At Four And A Half - Chapter 12

The consequence of the two of them sleeping in together was that they missed breakfast today.

When Pei Yuan did not see Pei Hanying downstairs, she went upstairs. As a result, the moment she opened the little girl’s bedroom door and saw the two little ones sleeping while intimately hugging each other on the bed, her eyes instantly curved.

Two adorable faces pressed together was a kind of visual enjoyment for the person looking.

Pei Yuan took out her phone and snapped several photos of the two little treasures hugging each other. Then she quietly left the room. After going downstairs, she said to Aunt Feng,

“Yingbao and Xiao Song are still sleeping. Keep breakfast warm for now. Bring it to them when they wake up.”

By the time Pei Hanying woke up, it was already close to ten o’clock.

This was the first time since transmigrating into the book that she had successfully managed to sleep in.

Her body lazily sank into the soft blanket. Pei Hanying yawned, feeling a little hungry.

She turned her head and looked at Ning Song, who was still sleeping soundly while leaning against her. After waking herself up for a while and becoming fully clearheaded, she mercilessly pinched Ning Song’s cheek.

“Ning Song, get up.”

The cheek under her hand felt so soft that Pei Hanying inexplicably thought of wide glass noodles that had softened after soaking.

Her stomach gave a rumble.

Now she was even hungrier.

At this moment, she was refreshed and full of energy, chattering nonstop.

“Ning Song.”

“Get up.”

“Little cat.”

“Hurry up and get up, or I won’t give you food.”

The muttering voice beside Ning Song’s ear had not stopped for even a moment. After letting out a little whine, she stretched one small hand out of the blanket and somewhat impatiently patted lightly in the direction of the sound.

Her hand was very soft, and it did not hurt when she hit someone.

Only, after that clear little smack landed, the air fell silent for several seconds.

Ning Song also seemed to realize something and suddenly opened her eyes, meeting Pei Hanying’s gaze.

Pei Hanying was very fair. Although she had only been lightly patted once, her face had already flushed red.

Ning Song looked at her, and moisture surged into her jade-green eyes, like a shallow lake of green jade.

Pei Hanying did not lose her temper. Seeing Ning Song so frightened she was about to cry, she only felt somewhat speechless.

“I’m the one who got hit, and I didn’t even cry. What are you crying for?”

In this life, Pei Hanying had been born for so long, but no one had ever hit her face before.

She stretched out her hand and, under Ning Song’s timid gaze, pinched her cheek again.

“Ning Song, your temper is this bad? You even have morning grumpiness?”

Usually, she looked obedient and soft. One really could not tell at all.

However, Pei Hanying was only saying it casually. Very soon, she let the little girl go.

She sat up in one swift motion, handed the coat placed by the bed to Ning Song, and urged,

“Hurry up and get up. It’s time to eat. I’m so hungry.”

Ning Song watched Pei Hanying get out of bed and walk toward the cloakroom. A moment later, she came out wearing a beautiful outfit.

Ning Song hugged the blanket and sat on the bed, still thinking about how she had hit Pei Hanying while half-asleep just now, her heart uneasy.

Pei Hanying took out a set of clothes she had outgrown and placed it by the bed for Ning Song.

Seeing that she was still sitting on the bed, Pei Hanying raised her voice and urged again, “Ning Song, are you eating breakfast or not?”

Ning Song looked at her, the moisture in her eyes not yet gone.

She apologized in a low voice, “I-I’m sorry.”

She had not meant to hit Pei Hanying.

Pei Hanying did not care much. “It’s not like you did it on purpose.”

After glancing at Ning Song, she narrowed her eyes slightly and still gave a warning. “You’re not allowed to hit me again next time.”

This little villain’s morning temper was truly terrible. She even hit people.

What a bad cat.

“Did you hear me?”

Ning Song looked at her. Seeing that she truly did not seem to mind, the heart that had been lifted in suspense finally settled slightly back into place.

She nodded lightly, then changed into the new set of clothes by the bed.

Pei Hanying wore blue, while Ning Song wore pink. When the two stood together, they were equally cute and beautiful.

However, Pei Hanying still felt that Ning Song’s hair was somewhat of an eyesore.

After breakfast, Pei Hanying had Xia Ting find a hairstylist to come over and trim Ning Song’s hair.

The hairstylist charged a high fee, and her skills were worthy of the price.

After carefully tidying up the originally uneven, dog-gnawed hair, the hairstylist used a comb to smooth out the soft strands and asked for Pei Hanying’s opinion.

“Miss Pei, is this all right?”

Ning Song looked at Pei Hanying, somewhat nervous.

Pei Hanying looked at her, her hand propping up her chin.

In the end, she nodded in satisfaction.

If the previous hairstyle had been ugly-cute, then this fluffy bob was purely cute.

It was honestly a little too adorable.

She turned to Xia Ting and said, “Sister, transfer Auntie an extra ten thousand.”

A brief flash of joy appeared on the hairstylist’s face before she immediately suppressed it. She thanked Pei Hanying repeatedly, then finished packing up her things and was escorted out by Xia Ting.

After the hairstylist left, Pei Hanying rubbed her chin and stared at Ning Song for a good while longer, making Ning Song nervous again.

Had she noticed somewhere that did not look good?

She lifted her head and looked at Pei Hanying, her eyes carrying a cautiousness.

Seeing this, Pei Hanying lightly clicked her tongue inwardly.

Why was this little villain so sensitive? She had only looked at her for a little longer, and Ning Song was already starting to overthink again.

She stretched out her hand and followed her heart, pinching Ning Song’s cheek.

The feeling under her fingers was soft and smooth, like freshly steamed egg custard.

Pinching her was almost addictive.

Pei Hanying said, “What are you looking at me for?”

Ning Song touched the ends of her now-neat hair, not knowing whether she should ask the question in her heart.

She was worried that Pei Hanying thought her current hair did not look good, and she was also worried that if she asked, Pei Hanying would give her an answer that made her sad again.

She lowered her eyes and avoided Pei Hanying’s gaze.

Before she could make up her mind, Pei Hanying’s clear voice sounded beside her ear.

“Stop thinking. It’s pretty cute.”

Pei Hanying thought she looked like a tender, pretty little mushroom.

What she said out loud to Ning Song was already the restrained version.

After hearing her words, Ning Song’s cheeks flushed slightly. She lifted her eyes and looked at Pei Hanying with curved eyes, a little joy in them.

In just two or three days, the little girl who had originally looked like a stray cat now seemed to have been reborn.

Pei Hanying looked at her fair cheeks and kept feeling as if something was missing. In the end, she went to find a star-shaped pink diamond hair clip and clipped it into Ning Song’s hair.

The pink diamond refracted dazzling light beneath the indoor lighting. The little villain was delicate and adorable, and the expensive pink diamond worn on her head was merely an embellishment.

She looked as exquisite as a porcelain doll.

Pei Hanying smiled brightly and asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere right now?”

These past few days, Ning Song had still been in a low-fever state, and her spirits were somewhat wilted, especially since she had gone out into the cold wind this morning.

Her temperature had been taken just now, and there did not seem to be any problem.

After being cooped up at home for a while, Pei Hanying thought that if Ning Song did not feel uncomfortable right now, it would be fine to take her for a walk around Jinhe Garden.

Although it had been cold this morning, the sun was now hanging high in the sky, bringing some warmth, and the cold wind had softened too.

Hearing her words, Ning Song gently shook her head and said in a small voice, “I don’t feel uncomfortable.”

Pei Hanying nodded in satisfaction and had someone bring two coats. After the two of them put them on separately, they changed into thick snow boots and went out together.

There were adults following beside them, so there was no need to worry about safety.

Pei Hanying remembered that one of the times she had seen Ning Song had been near the children’s playground. The little villain was not very old right now, so she was probably interested in those play facilities too.

She brought Ning Song in the direction of the children’s playground.

Ning Song truly walked slowly. Pei Hanying had already walked several steps ahead, but Ning Song had only taken two.

Pei Hanying could only wait for her. After several times, she grew somewhat impatient and had a maid carry Ning Song. This finally saved them from wasting half the day on the road.

At this moment, there were quite a few people in the children’s playground. Pei Hanying picked a few play facilities with fewer people and prepared to take Ning Song to play.

She climbed up the green slide with Ning Song and had Ning Song sit at the entrance of the slide. The little girl gripped the handrails on both sides and turned her head to look at Pei Hanying somewhat nervously.

Pei Hanying was looked at with that dependent gaze, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up.

She said, “Sister Xiaoyun will catch you below. Just slide down. Don’t be afraid.”

Ning Song nodded, let go, and finally slid down.

She had rarely played on such recreational facilities before. For as long as she could remember, most of her time had been spent shut inside a square room that was like a little box.

The children’s playground was not small, and the slide was long. When she slid down it, her body stirred up a gust of wind.

Her tiny body seemed as if it were about to float.

She could not hold back her voice and let out a cry. When Xiaoyun caught her at the end, her cheeks were still flushed red with excitement.

Pei Hanying was still on top of the slide castle, and hearing the little villain’s scream made her find it somewhat funny.

She usually spoke in such a soft, delicate voice, and even this excited sound was thin and small.

She really was like a young kitten.

After taking Ning Song to play on the trampoline, merry-go-round, seesaw, and a few other things, Pei Hanying went with her to sit on the swings.

The two of them sat on neighboring swings, their bodies swaying gently.

Beside her ears were the continuous screams and noisy shouts of children, but the person beside her was quiet, soft, and adorable.

Pei Hanying turned her head and glanced at Ning Song before suddenly asking, “Ning Song, are you happy?”

After hearing the girl’s voice, Ning Song also turned her head and met her eyes.

After their gazes met, the smile on Ning Song’s face was relaxed. She nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

“I’m happy.”

Hearing this answer, Pei Hanying’s mood became somewhat complicated. After a moment of silence, she added,

“I mean, are you happy when you’re with me?”

“You’re not allowed to lie.”

Miss Pei spoke childishly, “If you lie, your nose will grow longer.”

Ning Song looked at her, her tone just as serious, without the slightest trace of lying. “Very happy.”

Although Pei Hanying showed some resistance toward her, Ning Song truly liked her very much.

Only she was willing to take off her coat and give it to Ning Song in the bitter cold wind, willing to let her eat persimmons, willing to bring her home…

Ning Song remembered every good thing Pei Hanying had done for her in her heart. Those things far, far outweighed the words that had made her sad.

No one had ever been willing to treat her this well before.

Hearing an answer she had not expected, Pei Hanying’s eyes rounded slightly.

She had thought Ning Song would hate her.

After all, her attitude toward Ning Song was not actually good. Because she did not want to have anything to do with her later, she had always treated her coldly.

But she had not expected Ning Song to think that being with her was happy. From the way she looked, she did not seem to be lying either.

What if she was lying?

Pei Hanying looked at her, the emotions in her eyes somewhat complicated.

She turned her head away, leaning her body backward, and the arc of the swing grew a little larger.

In the end, she softly dropped one sentence.

“Ning Song, call me Sister again.”
