It’s Friendly and Won’t Scratch

"Miss." The girl gave Shen Xi a sweet smile. 

Taking a glance at Shen Xi, the boy tightened his grip over his sister's hand. He pursed his lips and refused to say a word but let go a little of his inhibition. 

"Call me Aunty. Come with me." Shen Xi extended a hand to them while feeling sorry for these poor little things. These kids were putting up a mean front, but they must feel nervous inside. They were only four after all. 

"Mommy told me to call pretty ones "Miss"." The girl's eyes were beautiful crescents when she chuckled. She was so adorable. 

Sure, Shen Xi was a Miss based on age, but technically, she was their aunt. 

The girl took Shen Xi's hand. 

Without a word, the boy followed behind Shen Xi hand-in-hand with his sister. 

Shangguan Yanqiu heaved relief as the children seemed to take to Shen Xi more than the rest of them here.
