Not only did Shen Siyuan’s plane tickets and hotel reservations get booked by Taozi, she even bought Tang Tang’s winter clothes. Without her, Tang Tang would have had no winter attire and turned into a popsicle. Knowing that Shen Siyuan was heading to the Longmen Grottoes, Taozi directly booked him a hotel within the scenic area, just 200 meters away from the attractions. Taozi was incredibly thoughtful, ensuring the reserved room was excellent with the best lighting and space. When Shen Siyuan opened the window, he could see the lake and distant mountains. Shen Siyuan didn’t allow Tang Tang to fly outside, but he didn’t forbid her from flying indoors. So, once they entered the room and he released her from his arms, she floated into the air, stretched out her arms like a little airplane, and glided around the room, occasionally bumping into things. Luckily, the room was big enough and she was dressed warmly. Shen Siyuan thus let her play on her own. Meanwhile, he had a thought and released Xiao Yue and the other two from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. Dou Dou was first puzzled, looking around, and then quickly spotted Tang Tang floating in the air. She opened her mouth wide in astonishment, her eyes rounded, looking incredulous. Duoduo also saw her, immediately appeared, and ran towards Tang Tang. Seeing this, Dou Dou quickly followed. Xiao Yue saw her too, but she didn’t go over or ask Shen Siyuan. Instead, she looked out the window and said, "Are we there yet?" Shen Siyuan nodded and pointed in a direction, "Sun Meiqi’s house should be in that direction." Since there’s a connection between the Banner Master and the Fan Soul, as soon as Shen Siyuan stepped into Henan, he sensed Sun Meiqi’s location, and this sense grew stronger at the hotel. "Are we going to find her now?" Xiao Yue asked again. "No need, she’s already coming to find us," Shen Siyuan replied. As a Fan Soul, Sun Meiqi could naturally sense the Banner Master’s presence. With such a strong sense, Sun Meiqi naturally knew of Shen Siyuan’s arrival. Just then, Duoduo ran back, tugging at Shen Siyuan’s sleeve. "What’s wrong?" Shen Siyuan asked, looking down. "Has Tang Tang become a ghost like us? How did she die? Did she eat too much and burst?" Duoduo asked with curiosity all over her face. "Nonsense." Shen Siyuan smiled, patting her little head. "She’s human, alive and well. Even if she died, it wouldn’t be from overeating." "Then why can she fly?" "Hmm... maybe because she’s a good kid," Shen Siyuan casually made up a reason. But Duoduo really believed him, nodded, and ran back to join Dou Dou and Tang Tang. Dou Dou was looking everywhere for a rope to tie around Tang Tang, trying to treat her like a kite or balloon. Tang Tang continued to fly back and forth in the air with a naive smile. Seeing Duoduo come back, Dou Dou immediately asked. "Did Potato Brother say how Tang Tang became Le Di?" She was referring to Le Di from the animated series "Super Wings." Tang Tang was already chubby and wore thick clothes, and flying with her arms open made her look like Le Di from the show. "Brother said it’s because she’s a smart cookie," Duoduo said. Dou Dou scratched her head, puzzled, "Then why couldn’t I fly when I was alive?" "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Because you’re a dummy, that’s why you can’t fly, hehe..." Duoduo said. "No, I’m smart. My dad says I’m smart, and even grandpa and grandma praise my intelligence," Dou Dou hurriedly explained. To kids, being called a dummy is the biggest insult. Kids have their pride too, you know. "So why can’t you fly and got drowned by the sea? If you could fly, you wouldn’t have drowned," Duoduo said. "Can you fly?" Dou Dou retorted defiantly. "Of course, I can." Duoduo nodded. Thinking to herself, I didn’t specify if it’s before or after dying, so I’m not lying. Dou Dou’s eyes widened, circling Duoduo in disbelief, then scratched her little head, wondering if she’s really not so smart. She looked up at Tang Tang, thinking Tang Tang doesn’t look clever either. Xiao Yue glanced at the trio, then asked Shen Siyuan in confusion, "Is it really because Tang Tang is good that she can fly?" Shen Siyuan was surprised at her words and glanced at her. "I was just fooling Duoduo, you believed it too?" Xiao Yue heard this, pouted, and said with slightly flushed cheeks, "Brother, you’re so mean." "Haha, I didn’t intend to deceive her, it’s just complicated to explain," Shen Siyuan said. "Is it because Tang Tang is the special one?" Xiao Yue asked. Dou Dou and Duoduo couldn’t sense it, but Xiao Yue surely could tell. Tang Tang was indeed behaving too unusually, not like any normal child. Xiao Yue hesitated a bit, then suddenly asked, "Brother, can I ask you a question?" "Of course, go ahead." "If Tang Tang wasn’t the special one, would you still adopt her and treat her so well?" Shen Siyuan was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Of course, before adopting her, I didn’t know any of this. I just thought she was silly but adorable, and her smile warmed people, especially endearing." "So even if she wasn’t the special one, it wouldn’t affect my decision to adopt her and my affection for her. Her specialness is just an unexpected bonus." Shen Siyuan was speaking the truth. From the first time this little one clung to him, he liked her at first sight. Because her smile was just so contagious. Not only to Shen Siyuan, anyone who had seen Tang Tang’s smile would be influenced by her, which is why Tang Tang was so well taken care of by the older brothers and sisters at the Rainbow House. "Brother, you’re really kind," Xiao Yue said. Shen Siyuan ruffled her hair. This little one had a heavy heart, but it wasn’t her fault. Her life experiences made her wary of the world. Just then, Dou Dou found a rope from somewhere and was trying to loop it around Tang Tang’s neck. Tang Tang grinned widely, cooperating fully.

Xiao Yue stifled a laugh, quickly walked over, and snatched the rope from Dou Dou, only to find it was a curtain tieback. Shen Siyuan looked in one direction, sensing Sun Meiqi approaching rapidly. It seemed there was no need to seek her out the next day. Just then, Shen Siyuan’s phone rang. He took it out and saw it was a message from Taozi. First came a panicked expression, then a crying cat emoji. And then a single sentence: "We’re doomed, our relationship has been discovered." PS: The was blocked, and I have no idea why. I’ll ask the editor tomorrow o(╥﹏╥)o
