Chapter 13 Siblings Compete for Favor_1

```

In this life, had she not fallen into a honey jar?

When Shen Tianrui and the others saw Shen Tianxing waking up, and then watched as she smiled at them with her eyes curving into crescents, they couldn't help but find her incredibly adorable.

The boys who had never had a younger sister to dote on were like chickens injected with adrenaline, instantly excited as they vied to talk to Shen Tianxing first.

The mischievous third brother Shen Tianbo squeezed his way to the front and said to her with a beaming smile, "Little sister, little sister, I'm your third brother, Shen Tianbo. From now on, just call me third brother. I'll definitely protect you!"

Not to be outdone, the second brother Shen Tianzhi pushed the third brother aside and also spoke to Little Tianxing, "Little Xingxing, I'm your second brother, Shen Tianzhi. I will protect you too!"

"Little Xingxing, I'm your fourth brother, Shen Tianyu. I will protect you as well!"

"Little Xingxing, I'm your fifth brother, Shen Tianrui. I'll also protect you!"

Finally, the eldest brother Shen Tianrui managed to push his brothers aside, moved up to Little Tianxing, grasped her cute little hand, and said to her with a youthful voice that was slightly hoarse from puberty, "Little Xingxing, I'm your eldest brother, Shen Tianrui. From now on, your second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother, we will all protect you together!"

Shen Tianxing, hearing each of the young boys eagerly expressing their affection, couldn't help but squint her eyes with joy. She stretched out her arms and waved her little limbs, babbling words as if to show her liking for them.

Shen Tianrui and his brothers were utterly charmed by Little Tianxing's actions.

Seeing Little Tianxing with her arms outstretched as if she wanted to be held, they all opened their arms, wanting to pick her up.

Shen Tianrui quickly intervened, "You all are too young, you don't know how to hold a baby. Let me do it, I will hold Little Tianxing."

Taking advantage of his brothers' slow reaction, Shen Tianrui carefully picked up Little Tianxing and nestled her into his broad embrace.

Though only fifteen years old, Shen Tianrui was nearly 1.7 meters tall, looking like a young man. In the countryside, a boy of his age and build would already be considered an adult laborer.

The brothers who failed to hold Little Tianxing watched with a mixture of sadness and jealous envy as their eldest brother held her, smiling tenderly.

His younger brothers all cursed him in their hearts; the eldest usually kept a straight face, but today he was smiling so gently, as if he wasn't afraid of scaring someone to death.

Little Tianxing continued to use her pink, lotus root-like little hand to gently pat Shen Tianrui, pointing towards the door and babbling, as if she was signaling for Shen Tianrui to hurry and take her outside.

Shen Tianrui watched the rich expressions on Little Tianxing's face and her gestures, and couldn't help but marvel internally; this sister seemed very smart! She was so young, yet knew how to express her needs?

Shen Tianrui still carefully confirmed with Little Tianxing, "Little Xingxing, do you want to go out?"

Shen Tianxing nodded her little head vigorously, her cute appearance once again sending the young boys' hearts fluttering.

The third brother Shen Tianbo, wriggling with desire, almost wished he could snatch Little Tianxing from their eldest brother's arms, "Ah, brother, Little Xingxing is too cute, let me hold her!"

"I want to hold Little Xingxing too..."

"Me too, me too, big brother, let me hold Little Xingxing!"

Seeing them all trying to take Little Tianxing from him, Shen Tianrui couldn't help but yell, "Shut up, all of you! Little Xingxing said she wants to go outside; let's go out and then talk about it!"

The attentive Shen Tianzhi saw that Shen Tianrui was about to take Little Tianxing outside just like that, without even wrapping her in a blanket, and quickly stopped him, "Big brother, wait a minute, wait a minute, Little Xingxing isn't even wrapped up in a swaddle. Aren't you afraid of Little Xingxing getting cold going out like this?"

While speaking, Shen Tianzhi picked up a swaddle from the bedside and wrapped it around Little Tianxing.

```

Feeling the meticulous care from his second brother and the warmth wrapped around his body, Shen Tianxing flashed his second eldest brother Shen Tianzhi a sweet smile, so endearing that Shen Tianzhi's eyes lit up, wishing he could pluck the moon from the sky for this extremely adorable baby sister.

Shen Tianxing had just woken up from several hours of sleep and was now feeling the urgency to relieve himself. He thought of hurrying out to find his mother, so she could help free the "inventory" and make himself feel comfortable and relaxed.

And Shen Tianrui did just what she wished. As he stepped out of the room, all the adults still sitting in the living room eating, drinking, and chatting turned to look their way.

Li Xiuxia had finished her meal early and was simply sitting there, listening to the men talking.

At this moment, when she saw Shen Tianrui carrying Little Tianxing out, she quickly got up to greet them.

Shen Tianxing also opened her arms towards her, as if to leap into her embrace.

Shen Tianrui felt a bit reluctant to let her go, but after all, Li Xiuxia was Little Tianxing's mother, and seeing how Little Tianxing clung to her, he felt embarrassed to stop her.

He could only hand over Little Tianxing to Li Xiuxia with a reluctant face.

Li Xiuxia glanced at him with a smile and habitually asked Little Xingxing with a tender smile, "Little Xingxing, are you hungry?"

Shen Tianxing used Divine Sense to send a message to Li Xiuxia, "Mom, I need to pee, pee..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuxia quickly took Little Tianxing to the restroom.

After Shen Tianxing relieved the "inventory" in her belly, she finally sighed with relief.

She lamented in her heart that being reborn from an adult to a baby and having to grow up all over again was really not easy!

Shen Tianxing truly wished she could grow taller and bigger overnight, be able to move freely, and not have to live such a constrained life where everything depended on others.

Once her belly was empty, Shen Tianxing felt hungry.

She then transmitted a message to Li Xiuxia, "Mom, the baby's tummy is hungry, hungry..."

Li Xiuxia kissed her little cheek with a smile and said, "Okay, mommy will feed you milk right away..."

Back in the living room, Li Xiuxia passed Little Tianxing to Shen Wenru to hold, "Wenru, the child is hungry. I'm going to make some formula for Little Xingxing, hold her for a bit."

Shen Wenru took the child in his arms, holding her securely, and told his wife, "I'll take good care of Little Xingxing, go ahead!"

Nestled in her father's warm embrace, Shen Tianxing blinked her big, round eyes, taking in the seated Shen Elder Master, Grandmother Shen; Uncle Shen, Aunt Yuan; Second Uncle Shen, Second Aunt Shen—these three couples.

Elder Master Shen and Grandmother Shen both had faces that showed blessing with many children and descendants that would have a smooth and satisfactory life.

Although Uncle Shen and Aunt Yuan didn't have the look of immense wealth, they were also destined to have an easy life with fortunate children.

But when Shen Tianxing's gaze landed on Second Uncle Shen Wenzheng's face, she was taken aback.

Second Uncle Shen Wenzheng had the countenance of great nobility!

However, in his noble visage, his brow area at this moment was ominously dark, hiding a terrifying deathly calamity!
