Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Whisperer of the Winds

"It’s too hot, sitting under the corridor is just the same."

Although Yu Guilan knew Tang Tang was waiting for someone, she still hoped that she would sit in the shadow of the corridor.

Because it was too hot, sitting under the blazing sun could lead to heatstroke.

But this little thing was so stubborn, and no matter what you said, she couldn’t hear it.

Just knowing to grin and give you a hearty smile, it makes it impossible to get angry at her.

"Are you waiting for Brother Xiao Yong?"

"He won’t be back at noon, he’s eating at school, and he won’t return until school is over in the afternoon, but it’s only morning now, there’s still time..."

Yu Guilan said while gesturing.

However, Tang Tang didn’t react at all, just grinning and laughing at her with a "han~han~" laugh.

Yu Guilan felt a sense of powerlessness, yet she couldn’t help but not get angry at the little fellow’s silly but adorable appearance.

"Look at your little face, all sunburnt?" Yu Guilan held her small face with a touch of pity.

Her red and puffy cheeks showed some peeling, resembling a sort of highland rosy glow.

Yu Guilan went back inside the house and brought out a jar of face cream and an umbrella for shade.

Seeing her, an aunty commented with a chuckle, "She still doesn’t want to come back?"

Yu Guilan sighed and nodded her head.

But the aunty said with a laugh, "I knew you definitely couldn’t persuade her, the little one is very stubborn."

Hearing this, Yu Guilan smiled, "But she’s so silly, her stubbornness is endearing."

Saying this, she didn’t continue chatting with the aunty, but went to the gate, opened up the umbrella, which Tang Tang embraced.

Then she opened the face cream and applied some on her little face.

Tang Tang tilted her head up, allowing Yu Guilan to fuss over her face, looking exceptionally obedient.

"Sigh, study well with teacher Xiao Jing, learn to speak quickly," Yu Guilan sighed.

Teacher Xiao Jing’s name is Xu Xiaojing, she is the sign language teacher that Ruan Hongzhuang arranged for Tang Tang after she went back home, coming over every evening to give Tang Tang a sign language lesson.

Because Tang Tang is so young and teaching too much might overwhelm her, the daily lesson time wasn’t very long.

Also, since she had only taken a few lessons, Tang Tang’s language ability hadn’t made any progress yet.

"Oh~oh~han~han~"

"You little silly."

Yu Guilan poked her little forehead a bit irritably.

Then she didn’t continue to accompany Tang Tang since she had many things to do every day.

"Is she waiting for Xiao Yong?"

"Probably not? I haven’t seen her wait before."

"Then is she waiting for Brother Xu? Did Brother Xu promise to buy her something?"

Brother Xu they mentioned was of course the person currently in charge of Rainbow House, Xu Liangyou.

He went out early in the morning to make purchases and hadn’t returned yet.

"This silly little girl, it’s hard to figure out what she’s thinking."

"Ah, such a lovely child, if only she wasn’t deaf and mute," someone said with feeling.

"If she wasn’t deaf and mute, she wouldn’t be here."

"That’s true, such a cute child, if she were fine, who would want to abandon her."

"The little one is indeed pitiful."

"..."

"Alright, enough of that. The children who come here, how many are not pitiable?" Yu Guilan came back and interrupted the conversation.

The people fell silent, Yu Guilan was right; those who ended up here, there were many more pitiful than Tang Tang.

And Tang Tang, hiding under the umbrella, tilted her little head as if listening to the wind, her mouth carrying a faint smile.

After a while, she started babbling, making various unintelligible sounds.

"Ow~ ow~"

"Oh~ oh~"

"Wu li wu li~"

...

The voice was soft as if she was whispering secrets to someone.

"Xiao Shen is going to learn to drive?" Jiang Yingxue brought up the topic again.

"Mm, okay." Shen Siyuan casually responded.

Ruan Hongzhuang, who was driving, just pursed her lips with a smile.

Jiang Yingxue continued, "When you learn to drive, Auntie will gift you a car, any type you like, it’s up to you to choose."

"Thank you, Auntie," Shen Siyuan said.

Although he had no intention of learning to drive—driving was neither as fast nor as convenient as his own way of getting around.

"Mom, I also want to change cars," said Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Don’t you know how to buy one yourself? I’ve heard your company is doing well lately, you shouldn’t be short on money to buy a car, right?"

"Did Taozi tell you that?"

"I don’t need her to tell me, I have my ways," said Jiang Yingxue.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t believe a word, sure that it must have been Taozi, no one else.

Just then, Shen Siyuan suddenly turned his head and looked out the window.

"What’s up?"

Ruan Hongzhuang noticed his unusual behavior, glanced at him, and casually asked.

"The wind has changed," Shen Siyuan said.

"Wind?"

Both Ruan Hongzhuang and Jiang Yingxue were somewhat puzzled.

At that moment, Shen Siyuan opened the car window and the wind entered through the window, acting like a mischievous sprite, swirling around.

It flitted through Shen Siyuan’s lapels, caressed his hair, then circled around Ruan Hongzhuang’s shoulders, before heading to the back seat, twirling around like a child, taking a big loop before flying out the window on the other side.

Shen Siyuan tilted his head as if listening, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

However, Ruan Hongzhuang and Jiang Yingxue didn’t feel anything unusual; it was quite normal for the wind to blow in when the car window was opened.

"What are you laughing at?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked, somewhat curious.

"The wind is talking to me," Shen Siyuan replied.

Ruan Hongzhuang: ...

Jiang Yingxue: ...

If it was someone else, they would definitely think the person was babbling nonsense, not in their right mind.

But Shen Siyuan was different; perhaps he really did hear the wind talking.

Still curious, Ruan Hongzhuang asked, "What did the wind say to you?"

"I don’t know," Shen Siyuan confidently responded.

Ruan Hongzhuang glared at him irritably.

"Are you teasing me?"

"Ha ha, really not, it’s just that I don’t understand the language of the wind, so I don’t know what it’s saying. But I do know that it’s definitely talking to me, right?"

"Why are you so sure it’s speaking to you?" Ruan Hongzhuang said, quite speechlessly.

And sitting in the backseat, Jiang Yingxue also looked at Shen Siyuan with a curious expression.

"Because its voice changed?"

"What voice changed?"

"Of course, it’s the wind’s voice that’s changed."

Ruan Hongzhuang still didn’t understand.

Shen Siyuan thought for a moment and explained, "You can think of it as the frequency of the wind changing, but I don’t know what the change in frequency means, so that’s why I don’t understand what it’s saying."

Jiang Yingxue, sitting in the backseat, said, "It’s like hearing someone send you a telegram, but without the cipher, you hear the sound of the telegram but can’t understand its meaning."

"Yes, exactly, Auntie is so smart," Shen Siyuan complimented.

Then he turned his gaze back to Ruan Hongzhuang, who was driving.

"Hmph~"

Ruan Hongzhuang snorted lightly and then stepped on the gas, accelerating the car.

Sitting in the backseat, Jiang Yingxue stretched out her hand and irritably slapped her on the shoulder.

"Slow down the car."

The Rainbow House wasn’t far away, and after only a few words en route, they arrived in the alley near the Rainbow House.

Looking out the car window, Shen Siyuan suddenly found the environment around Rainbow House to be quite nice.

Supermarkets, hospitals, parks, schools, and even a very old commercial street—life facilities seemed to be all in place.

Maybe this is the place to choose for the landscaping? Shen Siyuan thought.

At that moment, Tang Tang, who had been sitting on a small stool, suddenly stood up excitedly, rushed to the courtyard gate, and peered out through the gaps in the large iron gate.
