The Arrangement of Wanwan

Wanwan puffed her cheeks, resembling a small pufferfish, as she tugged on Xia Zhihuai’s sleeve. “Brother, can I buy something?”

Xia Zhihuai paused his conversation with Xu Wei and gently touched her soft, fluffy hair. “What do you want to buy?”

“Peach tree, peach wood, cinnabar, and yellow paper,” Wanwan replied.

Looking up at him, Wanwan curved her crescent-shaped eyes and smiled. “Just one peach tree is enough.”

Xia Zhihuai’s expression became subtle, and he didn’t immediately agree to her request.

“Wanwan, tell me the truth.”

Wanwan nodded.

Xia Zhihuai asked with suspicion, “Why do you know about these things? Who taught you?”

Wanwan blinked her round eyes and tapped her finger. “I told you, Brother, you wouldn’t believe me.”

Xia Zhihuai furrowed his brows. “If you don’t tell me, how can you be sure that I won’t believe you?”

“Brother obviously doesn’t believe in the mystical arts,” Wanwan replied.

She wasn’t foolish. According to human calculations, she had lived for at least three thousand five hundred years.

Although one year in the mortal realm was merely a day in the heavens, she still had some knowledge as a fairy and could discern people’s emotions.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhihuai felt somewhat helpless. He indeed didn’t believe in such things, but he didn’t expect Wanwan to be able to see through him.

“Do you want the peach tree, peach wood, yellow paper, and cinnabar to draw talismans?” Xia Zhihuai asked.

Wanwan nodded. “Wanwan has learned how to draw them and can make a protective talisman for you, brother, to ensure your safety when you go out.”

“All right,” Xia Zhihuai couldn’t refuse her.

Yellow paper, cinnabar, peach tree, and peach wood were not valuable items. Her intention was to pray for his safety, so he agreed.

…

Xia Zhihuai carefully considered the layout of his home.

He lived in a penthouse with a small garden, but he usually didn’t take care of it, resulting in sparse potted plants in the garden.

Since Wanwan wanted to plant, he decided to plant a peach tree.

“I’ll have the flower shop deliver a peach tree to our home in a few days, all right?” Xia Zhihuai scratched her little chin.

Wanwan pondered for a moment, and a memory from the original owner of her body emerged in her mind.

Buying flowers and plants…It seemed like they needed to go to the flower and bird market, right?

After thinking for three seconds, Wanwan opened her big eyes and asked, “Can’t we go today? Dad took me to the flower and bird market before, and there were many beautiful little trees. Wanwan wants to choose by myself.”

Xu Wei leaned back in his chair and smiled. “Just take her to the flower and bird market. You don’t have much to do these days anyway. Spend some time with Wanwan. Once you get busy, you won’t have time for her.”

Xia Zhihuai didn’t resist going out. He rubbed Wanwan’s soft cheek and nodded.

“All right, I’ll go back first to remove my makeup and change clothes, then I’ll take her to the flower and bird market.”

“As for the yellow paper and cinnabar, let’s order them online,” Xu Wei suggested.

Wanwan instantly became happy and wanted to spin in place. She hugged Xia Zhihuai’s ears with both hands, kissed his chin, and accidentally smeared her face with his foundation…

Wanwan’s expression became somewhat strange as she rubbed her mouth with the back of her hand. It was quite a complicated expression.

Brother’s face…

It really wasn’t easy to kiss him.

…

Xu Wei and Xia Zhihuai couldn’t help but burst into laughter when they saw Wanwan’s disgusted look.

Xia Zhihuai wiped the saliva off his chin with a handkerchief and the foundation off her lips. “I have makeup on my face, you silly goose!”

Wanwan crawled down from his lap and took out her water bottle from the net pocket behind the chair. Sitting with her legs apart on the chair, she held the large cup in her arms and took a few sips of water through the straw. Xia Zhihuai couldn’t help but feel delighted as he watched.

“Brother, you’re bad!” Wanwan complained in a sweet and childish voice.

She wasn’t a silly goose; she was the smartest little peach fairy.

…

Two hours later, Xia Zhihuai drove with Wanwan to the largest nearby flower and bird market.

Before getting out of the car, Xia Zhihuai put on a black mask and a baseball cap.

He wore a discreet black short-sleeved shirt, layered with a cotton blue checkered shirt. His lower body was clad in white sports pants, and he stepped into a pair of branded sports shoes.

After getting out of the car, Xia Zhihuai lifted Wanwan from her seat and casually closed the car door.

Wanwan looked at Xia Zhihuai, who was armed from head to toe, and tapped his black mask with her fingertips, asking, “Brother, why do you wear a mask?”

Xia Zhihuai blinked his eyes and gently patted her chubby bottom. “Because Brother is too handsome. When others see Brother, they will be excited and might compete for Brother with Wanwan.”

Wanwan looked skeptical, glanced at the surroundings of the parking lot, and then at Xia Zhihuai in front of her…

Brother seemed to be a little handsome.

Wanwan took out a pink meow-meow mask that Little Fang bought for her from her pocket and proudly exclaimed, “I also have a mask, it’s pink!”

“Long live the pink meow-meow!”

Xia Zhihuai carried her forward and said, “Behave yourself! Be careful not to fall.” Hmph, a pink mask, how childish!

…

At this time, there weren’t many people at the flower and bird market, but the air was filled with various fragrances of flowers.

Wanwan leaned on Xia Zhihuai’s shoulder, looking around energetically. As a spirit nurtured by the essence of heaven, earth, rain, and dew, she had a special affinity for plants.

Xia Zhihuai temporarily put aside his worries and couldn’t help but admire the various flower shops.

He rubbed Wanwan’s little head and said, “How about you come down and take a look yourself?”

nodded eagerly, wanting to rush out as soon as she landed, but Xia Zhihuai held her by the back of her collar.

Wanwan turned her head and looked at Xia Zhihuai’s large hand, pouting and saying, “Brother, let me go.”

Xia Zhihuai took out a child safety harness from his backpack.

Wanwan looked at the rope in his hand and the brown teddy bear, and asked cautiously, “Brother, what’s this?”

Xia Zhihuai raised an eyebrow and said, “It’s a baby anti-lost leash.”

Wanwan’s pupils shook.

Wasn’t that just a dog leash?

“I don’t want it!”

Wanwan quickly waved her hand, showing undisguised disgust on her face.

Xia Zhihuai hooked her collar and his smile gradually turned dangerous. “Wanwan, if you don’t wear the leash and get lost, Brother won’t be able to find you. Then if you’re kidnapped by human traffickers, they won’t give you food or drink…”

Wanwan’s face changed abruptly, and she reached out to hold the bear harness.

After a few seconds, she reluctantly said, “Okay, Brother, stop talking. I’ll wear it then!”

Xia Zhihuai immediately put on the teddy bear harness for her, securing it with a safety buckle on her chest, and behind her was an adorable brown bear cub.

He tied the other end of the leash to his wrist and looked down at Wanwan’s round cheeks, unable to resist lightly poking them with his index finger.

The soft and tender feeling of her cheeks was so satisfying, each poke creating a little dimple.

Xia Zhihuai’s mood instantly became relaxed. “Let’s go.”

Wanwan looked like a soulless little goldfish, turning her head to look at the leash behind her, her steps floating.

She really hated the leash.

Xia Zhihuai held the leash and looked at Wanwan, who seemed a bit downcast, and took out his phone from his pocket. He took a picture of her round head and posted it on his social media with the caption, “My little sister!”

Wanwan was a baby with strong self-healing abilities, so she only felt a bit sad for a few minutes before rushing towards the flower shop with Xia Zhihuai.

Before Xia Zhihuai could put away his phone, he was pulled forward by the leash, and from then on, he had no control over the situation. They ran through the market with Wanwan leading the way.

Xia Zhihuai’s pupils were filled with astonishment. He truly had no idea where this little girl got such strength from.

He was an adult man, after all. Although he didn’t dare to exert too much force on the leash, it didn’t make sense for a three-and-a-half-year-old toddler to drag him around half of the flower and bird market.

What’s more, Wanwan didn’t show any signs of fatigue.

Xia Zhihuai was starting to doubt his life choices.
