The people around immediately started to jeer:
"Oh my, so this is a little foodie..."
Shen Wuqiu, the mother, felt both embarrassed and amused. "The four sisters have four different personalities, and the fourth one is a little foodie."
Si Mao didn't care what anyone was saying. She opened her big, dark eyes and looked at the little girl, then babbled something again.
The little girl, also acting like a mature adult, held out the candy and emphasized in a serious tone, "Call me 'sister' and I'll give you more candy."
Simao babbled again, and seeing that no one would give it to her, she stretched out her little hand to try and snatch it.
Unfortunately, the human infant's body was too inconvenient; she could only manage to stand up a little bit with all her might, and soon she had to sit back in the car.
I'm so angry!
"Awoo~" Simao got angry and waved at the little girl.
The little girl was very persistent, saying, "If you call me 'sister,' I'll give it to you."
Si Mao pursed his lips, looking like he was about to cry.
The little girl's mother quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Miaomiao, your little sister is still too young to call you 'older sister' yet." She then smiled apologetically at Chen Wuqiu, "I'm sorry, it's just a child's nature..."
"Your little sister can say it now." The little girl interrupted her mother and said to Simao again in a serious tone, "Say 'sister,' sister~ sister~"
Simao looked at her, pursed her lips, and after a few seconds, turned her head away, looking like a sullen person.
Seeing this, the people around laughed at the little girl, saying, "Look, if you, the older sister, don't give her candy, the younger sister will get angry."
Shen Wuqiu, fearing that the little girl would feel guilty about what everyone was saying, quickly said, "My sister isn't angry anymore. She's still young and can't eat candy..."
The little girl was very stubborn, and ran over to the side where Simao had turned his head: "Call me 'sister' and I'll get candy, sister~ sister~"
"..."
It was clear that the little girl's mother was extremely helpless. She tried to persuade her younger daughter to leave, but the little girl was quite stubborn and stood still, saying to Simao, "Call her sister..."
"..." Shen Wuqiu was extremely embarrassed.
Just as everyone was wondering how to handle this little incident, Simao reluctantly called out, "Sister~ Sister~"
Although her pronunciation wasn't perfect, everyone present could clearly hear that she was indeed calling out "sister".
"..."
After a brief silence.
Those who had come up with Shen Wuqiu and the others were all teasing Shen's father:
"Oh, you didn't expect that, did you? Your granddaughter was actually coaxed into calling you 'sister' with a piece of candy first?"
"It seems the title 'Little Foodie' is truly well-deserved."
...
Amidst everyone's teasing, Shen Wuqiu's feelings were incredibly complicated. It was like—well, how to describe it—like the strawberries she had painstakingly grown, only to find that someone had snatched the red tips right away.
At the same time, when the little girl heard Simao call her "sister," her stern face immediately relaxed, like a lotus flower that had been caught in a net suddenly breaking free and blooming with a "whoosh." She squatted down in front of Simao, put the candy in Simao's little hand, and then reached out to touch it...
You shouldn't touch a baby's face, especially their cheeks, because if you do, the baby's cheeks will swell and they will drool.
Just as the little girl's mother was about to reach out to stop her, the little girl gently touched Simao's face, then quickly pulled her hand back. She then stood up, looked at Shen Wuqiu, and said like a little adult, "Auntie, the little girl is so cute, I like her."
The serious little girl was so adorable! Shen Wuqiu smiled at her and said, "Yes, you're cute too. My little sister will definitely like you."
Upon hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Shen Wuqiu stared at her bright, peach-blossom-like eyes for a moment, but quickly realized what she meant and nodded, "Yes, really."
The little girl was satisfied. She squatted down again, touched Simao's little hand, and hooked her little finger with hers. "You've accepted my candy, so we're good friends now."
Si Mao let out a soft "ee-yah" and reached for the candy, intending to put it in his mouth.
"This isn't peeled yet, you can't eat it." The little girl snatched the candy from Simao's mouth.
"Awoo~ Waaah~" Simao cried out anxiously, afraid that the candy that was about to fly away.
"Don't cry, let me peel some candy for you."
The little girl's mother quickly stopped her, saying, "Miaomiao, your little sister is too young to eat candy."
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shen Wuqiu, "Auntie, my little sister wants to eat."
“But your little sister is too young to eat.” Shen Wuqiu looked at the wailing little foodie and had a headache. She quickly took her out of the stroller. “Baby, we can’t eat candy yet.”
Si Mao pouted, rested his little head on his mother's shoulder, and stopped fussing.
Their obedient and well-behaved nature is so endearing.
The little girl stared at Simao for a moment, then gave the candy to Chen Wuqiu, saying, "Auntie, please keep this candy for my little sister. When she grows up, you can give it to her."
Shen Wuqiu thought the little girl was so cute, and accepted the candy, saying, "Then I'll thank you on behalf of my little sister."
The little girl said in a serious tone, "Auntie, you're welcome."
The little girl's mother probably really couldn't handle such a stubborn daughter, and she felt very embarrassed. After the little girl gave her the candy, she tried to pull her away.
The little girl probably got what she wanted and obediently went with her mother.
However, after taking a few steps, he ran back, saying, "Auntie, I haven't told my sister my name yet."
Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but chuckle, "Then Auntie will remember your name for you, little sister."
"Miao Miao, her surname is Miao and her given name is Miao. So she'll be called Miao Miao."
"Miaomiao." Seeing her serious expression, Shen Wuqiu repeated herself in a similarly solemn manner, "Alright, Auntie remembers."
"Okay." Little Miao Miao nodded seriously. "Then, Auntie, can you tell me what my little sister's name is?"
Before Shen Wuqiu could speak, Gu Lingyu stepped forward and replied, "Auntie can't tell you. If you want to know your sister's name, you'll have to let her tell you herself later."
Miao Miao looked a little disappointed, but this time she didn't hold a grudge. She turned to look at Simao in Shen Wuqiu's arms and then left reluctantly.
After she walked away, Shen Wuqiu took advantage of a moment when no one was looking to ask Gu Lingyu, "Can't we tell other people the names of the children?"
"It's not that I can't tell others, it's just that I can't tell her."
Shen Wuqiu was even more puzzled, "Why?"
Gu Miaomiao didn't know what to say for a moment, and after a while she said, "If I'm not mistaken, she will meet with Simao again in the future."
"???" Shen Wuqiu was even more confused. "What do you mean by that?"
Daiying looked at her, "Just like your dream."
Shen Wuqiu was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized, "How is that possible? Them?"
Thinking of herself and a certain cat in that dream, Shen Wuqiu suddenly pursed her lips again.
So—this can be considered Si Mao's own peach blossom?
So—the strawberry tips that are just starting to turn red are being eaten? Is that not just an illusion?
"Since you knew, why didn't you stop us from bringing Simao..."
"No, I don't know." Gu Miaomiao shook her head. She still felt uncomfortable. Her daughter couldn't even call her mother or aunt yet, but she was coaxed into calling her sister by someone in a daze. "We can predict many things in the world, but love is unpredictable."
"..."
What the hell? Letting out the door is a joke.

Chapter 142
During a trip to Miaomiao Mountain, my foodie daughter was charmed by a little girl named "Miaomiao" with a single piece of candy.
Shen Wuqiu felt increasingly uneasy. While at the scenic spot, she could still force a smile, but after returning home, she became completely listless.
Although Gu Lingyu was also upset, she was much more open-minded than Shen Wuqiu. Besides, there was no point in being unable to let go. Moreover, the children they raised would eventually belong to someone else's family; it was just a matter of sooner or later.
For her, her partner's unhappiness is the most important thing.
So, after carefully considering his words for a while, Gu Miaomiao began to comfort his wife.
"Don't you humans have a saying? A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. No matter how much she has left, she's still water we're going to spill. It's just a matter of sooner or later. Besides, if our daughter's marriage is arranged early, we can rest easy and not worry about her not surviving the spring."
"..." Shen Wuqiu really wanted to roll her eyes at her. "Listen to what you're saying. Do you even think you're speaking human language?"
Gu Miaomiao retorted quite confidently, "I'm a spirit cat, not a human, right?"
Shen Wuqiu: "...Don't talk to me now. My temples throb with pain whenever I hear you speak."
Gu Miaomiao immediately took a step forward and skillfully massaged her temples, "Qiuqiu, you really don't need to worry about these things."
Hearing her speak like a human being, Shen Wuqiu's tone softened. "Si Mao is still so young. If this Miao Miao is Si Mao's destined one, what will happen to Si Mao? Even if Si Mao matures early, as you said, he'll still be a year older, and by then this Miao Miao will be long gone. What will Si Mao do then?"
Gu Miaomiao blinked. "So you're worried that Simao will be living a life of widowhood at such a young age?"
"Pah, pah..." Shen Wuqiu covered her mouth, "I think you're just a dog who can't say anything nice."
Gu Miaomiao wasn't angry. She deliberately stuck out her little tongue and said, "I'm just a cat's mouth at most."
Shen Wuqiu was furious with her: "All you do is crack jokes, isn't that it?"
Gu Miaomiao quickly said seriously, "Just as you worried, if Miaomiao and Simao are not destined by fate, their meeting is just a fleeting one. It's like the love in your human race. You will like many people in your life, but in the end you can only grow old with one person. The fate between Simao and this girl named Miaomiao is just like that. It's just a fleeting love in your human race's short life, blooming for a moment and withering in an instant."
Is that so?
Gu Miaomiao thought for a moment and then said truthfully, "Maybe that's how it is, but I can't guarantee it. This world is made up of multiple timelines. If this girl named Miaomiao and Simao are destined to be together, then even if they don't end up together in this timeline, the heavens will eventually give them a new timeline to achieve their goal. Just like us."
Shen Wuqiu seemed to understand but not quite. She recalled herself and Gu Lingyu in her dream. In the dream, they looked to be the same age, but in fact, they were separated by hundreds of years.
"You mean, today's meeting between Simao and Miaomiao might just be Miaomiao's dream?"
“Perhaps it could also be described as a dream of Simao,” Gu Miaomiao said. “That’s why I don’t want you to tell her Simao’s name. Because once a relationship begins and names are exchanged, regardless of whether it ends or not, this person will be entangled in the other person’s life.”
