Chapter 98: The Soul of Fun ( Part 1 )
Muen lay sprawled on the bed, her small tail dangling over the edge, swaying back and forth idly. The little tuft of hair on top of her head drooped listlessly, hanging down in a lifeless manner.
“Second Sister, stop playing dead. Mom and Dad are back,” Xiaoguang called from the balcony.
Hearing this, Muen immediately perked up. She sprang up from the bed like a carp, hurriedly swinging her short legs as she dashed towards the balcony.
However, when she leaned over the railing and saw her parents holding hands and sticking close together down below, the excitement in her eyes instantly faded.
“Ah~ Just from looking at them, it’s clear they won’t have time to play with me. Seriously… Do Mom and Dad not love me anymore?” Muen pouted.
Noa came over and patted her sister’s head. “Don’t say that. Mom and Dad haven’t seen each other in a while, so let’s give them some time alone.”
Ugh…
Muen’s tuft of hair twitched a little, and after a moment, as if something had suddenly occurred to her, the tuft shot up straight. “Right, Sis! Remember when we were at the beach, and we made that plan to get Mom and Dad to kiss?”
Hearing this, Noa thought for a moment. Indeed, during their last beach trip, the two sisters had speculated that a kiss might make their mom pregnant, so they orchestrated a little stunt to make their dad give their mom “mouth-to-mouth” resuscitation, staging a bit of a scene.
Though they had been spanked by their dad afterward, the whole process had been pretty fun.
“I remember. Why?”
“But it’s been so long, and Mom’s belly is still flat,” Muen said, “There’s no sign of her being pregnant at all.”
She recalled how their mom’s belly had gradually grown bigger when she was expecting Xiaoguang.
“So… You still want another little sister, don’t you?” Noa asked.
Muen nodded excitedly. “Yep, yep!”
Xiaoguang, sandwiched between the two sisters, looked up at Noa and then at Muen before asking seriously, “So, Second Sis, are you already tired of me after only a little over a year?”
Muen pulled her little sister into a hug. “How could that be, Xiaoguang~ You’re my favorite!”
“Then why do you want another little sister?”
“Uh… Because, well, the more, the merrier~” Muen said, rubbing her cheek against Xiaoguang’s soft face, like cuddling a cute little kitten.
Xiaoguang let her second sister nuzzle her, then turned to Noa. “So, Big Sis, are you two going to carry out another kissing plan?”
Noa stroked her chin, seriously considering, “Hmm… Dad’s been pretty worn out lately, and he probably doesn’t have any new magic to teach me. I’m kind of bored, so yeah, why not give the plan another go.”
Xiaoguang blinked. “So your plan is, as long as Mom and Dad kiss, Mom will give us a new little sister or brother, right?”
“Yep, yep, yep! Xiaoguang, you’re so smart!” Muen said.
Xiaoguang grinned without responding.
Who told these two that kissing makes babies?
Creating life is a much more complicated process!
Don’t underestimate me just because I’m young—I know a little bit about everything.
Although she wasn’t clear on the specifics of the “more complicated process,” it was more than just kissing.
But…
Xiaoguang sneaked a glance at her two older sisters.
Noa looked like she was just killing time for fun, and Muen was overjoyed at the thought of getting a new little sister.
Neither of them seemed to realize that even if their kissing plan worked, Mom still wouldn’t get pregnant.
So…
Xiaoguang’s lips curled into a sly smile.
I’ll just pretend I don’t know anything, too!
Watching Mom and Dad kiss is more fun than giving these two a biology lesson!
“Xiaoguang, what are you smiling about?” Muen suddenly asked.
“Huh? Oh, I just remembered something that made me happy,” Xiaoguang said.
“What happy thing?”
“Ummm, that I’m about to get a new little sister, of course.”
Muen immediately hugged Xiaoguang again, rubbing her cheek against hers. “I knew it! You want a new little sister too, right?”
“Yes, yes, Second Sis.”
Xiaoguang quickly chimed in, “So, when are we starting? Do we have a plan?”
Back during the beach trip, Xiaoguang had been too young to actively participate in the kissing scheme. But now, with her playful side awakened, she couldn’t wait for the plan to unfold successfully.
“Uh… a plan? We don’t have one,” Muen lowered her head, sounding a bit disappointed.
But Noa, standing beside her, said softly, “Actually, I do have a plan. But I’ll need your help.”
“Sis? That’s awesome!” Muen’s expression changed in an instant.
Xiaoguang struggled to suppress the smile tugging at her lips. “I’m more than happy to help, Big Sis.”
…
After dinner, Muen pulled Leon out to the garden behind the temple. When they arrived, Leon saw that Roseweisses had also been brought out by Noa.
The couple had originally planned to work on their things after dinner. Rossweisse wanted to meet with Anna and the others to check on the progress of gathering their kin, while Leon intended to brew some potions to help Roseweisses’s wounds heal faster.
But before they could start, they were dragged outside by their daughters, who said they wanted to play some sort of family game.
The couple exchanged a glance and then nodded in agreement. It was rare for their daughters to be so enthusiastic, and their tasks weren’t urgent—putting them off wouldn’t hurt.
The family of five sat cross-legged on the grass, and Noa took out a box of chocolate sticks from her pocket.
She pulled out one chocolate stick and explained the rules of the game. “The rules are simple. Each person bites one end of the chocolate stick like this.”
Seriously, these daughters are TOO adorable!
