Having a bite of ice-cold watermelon on a hot summer day is incredibly refreshing.

Xiao Ran thought for a moment, "Planting them is fine, but when are watermelons usually planted? I see that watermelons are already being sold now, is it too late for us to plant them now?"

Xiao Ruoying has been in contact with Teacher Zhao and the others lately because she has been learning about grafting and planting, so she actually knows about this.

"It's not too late. As long as it's spring, you can plant watermelons anytime."

Xiao Ran then had no objections.

"Then let's plant them. Our yard is almost turning into an orchard. We can put up a grape trellis and plant some grapes sometime."

Xiao Ruoying strongly agreed.

"I think it's okay."

Then Xiao Ruoying said, "Whenever I have time, I'll go to Teacher Zhao's place and get a few watermelon seedlings."

Xiao Ran nodded.

"Little Bag~"

The little princess suddenly turned around and called out to Xiao Ran, who then walked over.

"What's wrong, Sizi?"

The little princess licked her lips.

"I still want seven puddings~"

Xiao Ran said, "You can eat it, but you should wait a while, okay?"

Upon hearing that it was edible, the little princess nodded eagerly.
"Good~"

Xiao Ran took a pudding out of the refrigerator and left it outside for the time being.

Then he took out two more, one for him and one for Xiao Ruoying.

"Little Nangjun~ I want to see Yangyang~"

Xiao Ran opened the cartoon, and the three little princesses quietly started watching it.

However, the little princess hadn't forgotten her pudding. After watching one episode, she turned around and asked, "Little Nang-kun~ Do you want some pudding~?"

Xiao Ran brought over the pudding, which was already in the refrigerator and wasn't particularly cold.

"Eat up, all three of you eat together."

The little princess nodded and shared a pudding with the little princesses of Chengyang and Gaoyang.

After finishing her pudding, the little princess didn't ask for any more and instead focused on watching TV.

After watching for a while, the little princess stood up.

"Little Nangjun~ Let's play with Youyou~"

Upon hearing its name, Rou Rou barked once.

"Okay, then let's play with Rou Rou."

Overall, the weather is quite warm now, so you won't get cold while playing outside.

Xiao Ran took out the frisbee and was about to walk outside when Xiao Ruoying quickly called out, "Brother! Look, is there a shuttlecock in that box?"

Xiao Ran looked around and found it.

"Where did this shuttlecock come from?" Xiao Ran asked.

Xiao Ruoying walked over, took the shuttlecock from Xiao Ran's hand, and said as she walked outside, "Of course I bought it. It couldn't have just appeared out of thin air."

Xiao Ran followed behind her with the frisbee.

"When did you buy it? I didn't know that."

Xiao Ruoying didn't answer, and Xiao Ran didn't press the matter. He had only asked casually, since he genuinely didn't know there were shuttlecocks.

The three little princesses were already waiting in the courtyard. When they saw Xiao Ran come out with the frisbee, the little princesses quickly ran over.

"Little Nangjun~" The little princess hugged Xiao Ran's leg.

Xiao Ran handed the frisbee in his hand to the little princess.

"Let's play."

The little princess took the frisbee, looked at it, then at Xiao Ran, and suddenly stretched out her hand, saying, "Little Nang-jun~ come here~"

Xiao Ran didn't understand what he meant, so he squatted down.

"What's wrong, Sizi?"

The little princess tiptoed and kissed Xiao Ran on the cheek.

"Thank you, Little Nang!"

After saying that, the little princess held the frisbee and ran towards the little princesses of Chengyang and Gaoyang.

Xiao Ran touched his face and smiled.

Xiao Ruoying stood to the side with the shuttlecock in her hand, taking in everything. She glanced at Xiao Ran and pouted.

"I like Jizi very much too, so why doesn't Jizi kiss me?"

Xiao Ran stopped laughing, glanced at Xiao Ruoying, and said nothing.

At this moment, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang also came out.

They were both holding milk tea in their hands.

"The weather is so nice today," Li Lizhi said.

Xiao Ran nodded. "It's really nice, and the air is very fresh too."

It just rained, and the air quality is excellent.

Xiao Ruoying then pulled Li Li aside and asked, "Want to play shuttlecock?"

Li Lizhi's eyes lit up. "Great!"

Princess Yuzhang nodded, "Yes, I'm pretty good at kicking shuttlecock."

Xiao Ruoying pulled Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang into a circle, then kicked the shuttlecock to Li Lizhi's side. Li Lizhi caught it instantly and kicked it to Princess Yuzhang.

Xiao Ran sat to the side, not participating.

Actually, he wanted to try it too, but Xiao Ruoying said it was a team-building activity for girls and wouldn't let him participate.

Soon, the laughter of Xiao Ruoying and the others came over. Li Lizhi hadn't done this kind of exercise in a long time, and she was having a lot of fun. As for Princess Yuzhang, just as she said, she was indeed very good at kicking shuttlecocks. No matter what kind of shuttlecock it was, she could catch it.

Soon, the excitement attracted the attention of the three little princesses.

Let's go check out the spicy food!

The little princess put down the frisbee in her hand and led the Chengyang and Gaoyang princesses toward this side.

Xiao Ruoying was the first to see the three little princesses approaching, so when the shuttlecock landed on her side, she immediately put it away, afraid that she might accidentally kick it out and hit one of the little princesses.

"What's wrong?" Li Li asked, her back to the three little princesses.

Xiao Ruoying pointed behind Li Lizhi.

“Sizi and the others are coming over, and I’m afraid I might accidentally kick them.”

Li Lizhi turned around and saw the three little princesses standing together.

"Why did you guys stop playing?" Li Lizhi asked.

The little princess looked at the shuttlecock in Xiao Ruoying's hand.

"Hey sis~ what are you guys doing~"

Xiao Ruoying also walked over and shook the shuttlecock in her hand.

"We're playing shuttlecock."

The little princess knows about shuttlecocks.

"I'm playing too! I'm playing too!"

Xiao Ruoying squatted down and pinched the little princess's cheek.

Can you kick it?

The little princess realized she was being looked down upon, so she immediately crossed her arms and snorted.

He looked like he was "unhappy".

Her appearance made the people present want to laugh.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The little princess looked at Xiao Ran, her mouth agape.

"Little Nangjun is naughty~"

Xiao Ran walked over and picked up the little princess.

"How did I break?"

The little princess pouted.

"Little Nangjun's dimples~"

Xiao Ran coaxed, "No, I wouldn't. How could I laugh at Si Zi? Si Zi must have misheard."

The little princess was skeptical. "Really?"

Xiao Ran nodded.

Seeing Xiao Ran's confident expression, the little princess withdrew her doubts.

"I misunderstood you because you're spicy~ Little Nangjun is the spiciest~"

As she spoke, the little princess cupped Xiao Ran's head and nuzzled him against it.

At this moment, Xiao Ran's conscience was a little aching.

However, the little princess quickly moved on from the matter; she was more interested in playing shuttlecock.

"Little Nangjun~ I want to play with a swallow too~"

Shuttlecocks were also called swallows during the Tang Dynasty, so the little princess wasn't wrong to call them that.

Xiao Ran looked at Xiao Ruoying and asked, "How many did you buy back then?"

Xiao Ruoying thought back for a moment.

"I bought a whole pack at the time. If I remember correctly, there should be three in a pack. Go check, there should be more in the box."

Xiao Ran nodded, looked at the little princess, and asked, "I'm going to find the shuttlecock. Does Sizi want to come with me?"

The little princess nodded.

"I want~"

Xiao Ruoying looked at Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang.

"How about Fan Yin and Seventeen play with us for a while?"

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang nodded.

Xiao Ran carried the little princess into the villa and rummaged through the boxes.

The little princess, with her short legs, also wanted to help, but the box was a bit too big.

The entire box was more than half the height of the little princess, and it contained some odds and ends.

Xiao Ran searched inside, and the little princess also stood on tiptoe and followed suit.

There were two boxes in total. Seeing that this box was empty, Xiao Ran went to look for the other box.

The little princess looked at the box in front of her, and with great effort, she held onto the edge of the box and looked inside. Then she saw a brightly colored feather.

"Found it!"

The little princess reached out to grab the feather.

But because she was small, she couldn't reach it at all. Looking at the feather that was still some distance away, the little princess thought for a moment, then used her two little legs to push off. She didn't reach the feather, but the box moved.

The box was originally a wheeled storage box; with a strong push from the little princess, the box slid away instantly.

"Duck~ Hahahaha~ Little Nangjun~"

Xiao Ran heard the little princess's voice, turned around, and saw the little princess lying on the edge of the box, being pulled along by the box.

However, the little princess wasn't very strong, and she didn't kick her legs very hard, so after sliding a short distance, the box stopped. But the little princess seemed to have found a new and interesting toy.

"Little Nangjun~ Hurry up and push the ducklings!"

Xiao Ran walked over and picked up the little princess.

Xiao Ran simply lifted the little princess up from around her waist.

"Little Nang-kun~ I still want to play~"

The little princess wiggled her limbs, which were suspended in the air, like a little turtle.

Xiao Ran put the little princess down on the ground and said helplessly, "Why are you playing with this again?"

The little princess then remembered what she had found.

"Little Nangjun~ I found Yanji La~"

As she spoke, the little princess pointed to a feather peeking out from inside the box.

Xiao Ran reached out and took out the feather, only to find that it was a quill pen.

He remembered clearly the origin of the quill pen: Xiao Ruoying saw someone using a quill pen to write letters while watching videos, and thought it was very high-class, so she bought one.

After receiving it, I found it extremely difficult to write to, so I left it aside and never used it.

The little princess tilted her head as she looked at the feather in Xiao Ran's hand.

"This isn't a swallow~"

Xiao Ran nodded, "Yes, this is a quill pen, and the shuttlecock is here."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran walked to another storage box and took out the shuttlecock.

Just as Xiao Ruoying remembered, there were indeed two more shuttlecocks in the box, located at the bottom, which weren't easy to find.

"Yay~ I can play with swallows now~"

The little princess took the shuttlecock from Xiao Ran and ran outside.

At this moment, Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang were playing with Li Lizhi and the others.

Although they were young, they had all played shuttlecock before.

There weren't many things to do in the past, so kicking shuttlecocks was a great way to pass the time.

Even if they don't play, the maids will play for a while in their spare time, which not only passes the time but also allows them to perform for their masters.

So Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang can play shuttlecock, but they're not very good at it.

But it doesn't matter, it was just something to pass the time anyway.

Hearing the little princess's innocent yet excited voice, Li Lizhi and the others stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door.

Then the little princess suddenly appeared with a shuttlecock.

"Second Sister~ Seventeenth Sister~ We also play with swallow-shaped ducks~"

The little princess's face was flushed from running, and she was still clutching the shuttlecock in her hand.

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang immediately moved to another spot and played with the princess, while Li Lizhi and the other two continued playing as well.

Seeing that they were having fun, Xiao Ran took out the remaining cups of milk tea from the refrigerator, as well as the cheesecakes that Yu Shu and Vanilla had made.

This little cake is really small; even a little princess could eat it in one bite.

Moreover, it's not the kind of cake with cream; it's more like the kind of waterless cake sold by weight. This little cake is very small and full of the aroma of cheese.

Xiao Ran took four or five and put them in his mouth.

If Xiao Ran were to eat just one, he was afraid that he would swallow the little cake before he could even get his singing into place.

Holding the milk tea and small cakes, Xiao Ran went into the courtyard and placed the items on the table.

In addition to milk tea and small cakes, Xiao Ran also brought a pot of warm water.

There are only three cups of milk tea left. One of them was taken out when I got the pudding for the little princess. She didn't drink it then, but now it's not so cold anymore, so all three little princesses can drink it.

The remaining two cups were for Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang; they were the only two in the family who didn't get to drink.

However, the three little princesses could only satisfy their cravings with a cup of milk tea; they would still need to drink water when they got thirsty, so Xiao Ran brought a pot of water.

"Little Nangjun~" The little princess saw Xiao Ran put a bunch of things on the table and immediately ran over.

"Is this milk tea?"

The little princess pointed at the milk tea and asked.

Xiao Ran was deliberately teasing her.

"Oh, this isn't milk tea, it's medicine."

The little princess frowned. "Really?"

Seeing the little princess's thoughtful expression, Xiao Ran's heart softened.

"Okay, this is indeed milk tea."

The little princess giggled.

"I just love island milk tea~ Aren't I pretty smart~"

The little princess looked up at Xiao Ran with a proud expression.

Xiao Ran laughed and said, "That's right, Si Zi is the smartest, so let's reward Si Zi with a sip of milk tea."

Xiao Ran handed over the cup containing the milk tea.

The little princess took a sip, and the biggest difference between this milk tea and the ones she had drunk before was that this milk tea had cheese foam.

"This tastes so good!"

The little princess held her milk tea and took another sip.

At this moment, Li Lizhi and the others had also gotten tired of playing and walked over here.

Xiao Ran poured Xiao Ruoying a glass of water, then pushed the milk tea in front of Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang.

"Try this milk tea, it's made with Yu Shu and vanilla, it tastes really good."

Looking at the plain water in front of Xiao Ruoying, Li Li questioned, "Is this all there is?" (End of Chapter)
