Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?

Chapter 260: Chapter 260 The Windcaller

Xu Liangyou arrived back home around ten o’clock, having finished his shopping, and was very pleased to see Shen Siyuan and the others.

For lunch, Shen Siyuan and his party stayed to eat at Rainbow House, which prompted Xu Liangyou to specially add a meat dish to the menu.

On regular days when the children aren’t home, their lunch is usually quite simple.

Most of the aunties in the courtyard go home for lunch as their houses are nearby, with only a few staying behind to eat together.

They are all volunteers, partly moved by Granny Zhang’s spirit and wanting to do good, and partly retired with nothing to do, looking for activities to pass the time.

"Potato really likes Xiao Shen," Jiang Yingxue whispered to Ruan Hongzhuang during the meal.

"Yes, it seems that all the children really like Si Yuan; they love sticking close to him," Ruan Hongzhuang agreed.

Whether it’s Dou Dou, Duoduo, or the other kids, they seem to have a natural affinity for Shen Siyuan.

"Children are sensitive and can feel adults’ emotions, knowing who is good and who is bad, who will love them; so this shows that Xiao Shen is also a person who really likes children," Jiang Yingxue hinted meaningfully.

Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t catch the insinuation, simply nodding in agreement: "Si Yuan indeed loves children very much."

"In that case, when are you two planning to have one of your own?" Jiang Yingxue suddenly leaned in closer and whispered.

Ruan Hongzhuang blushed deeply.

"Mom, we’re not even married yet."

"Then when are you planning to get married?"

"How should I know? We’ve only known each other for so long. And he hasn’t proposed to me, so am I supposed to bring it up?" Ruan Hongzhuang said, slightly annoyed.

As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Siyuan who was sitting side by side with Potato on the corridor steps, holding a bowl and eating.

At this moment, Shen Siyuan suddenly turned his head and looked at her.

Ruan Hongzhuang’s cheeks turned red, thinking he couldn’t have heard that, could he?

And at that time, Potato also turned her head towards her, her big bright eyes shining and her oily little face full of smiles.

"Woo~ woo~"

She made some indistinct noises with her mouth, spewing out grains of rice onto the floor and her clothes...

"Don’t talk, eat your food."

Shen Siyuan tapped her little head lightly with the end of his chopsticks.

Potato seemed to understand what he meant and immediately started gobbling down her food hastily.

Just then, two gusts of Yin Wind suddenly descended from the air, swirling around the yard—it was Xiao Yue and Dou Dou who had come looking.

Dou Dou immediately noticed Potato, who was sitting very close to Shen Siyuan.

On a closer look, she appeared rather cute.

Upon an even closer look, she seemed to be about the same age as herself.

This immediately made her angry.

Hmph, have you found another little cutie? You’ve forgotten about me, huh?

So she puffed up her chest and strode purposefully toward Shen Siyuan with an air of arrogance.

"Potato, who is she?"

She pointed at Tang Tang, her gesture full of the attitude of questioning a disloyal man.

Before Shen Siyuan could speak, Dou Dou suddenly noticed that Tang Tang seemed to be looking at her.

She looked down at herself to confirm that she wasn’t visible, then turned her head back to Tang Tang.

Then she was absolutely certain that Tang Tang’s gaze was on her.

Shen Siyuan was also surprised. Could it be that Tang Tang had a natural ability to see ghosts?

At that moment, Dou Dou quietly moved to the side, and sure enough, Tang Tang’s gaze followed her movement.

"Eh? You weird kid, can you see me?" Dou Dou exclaimed in amazement.

Subsequently, she performed the action she’d been practicing for two and a half years, swaying back and forth, and Tang Tang’s gaze also moved back and forth following her movement.

Xiao Yue approached at that time, curiously looking at Tang Tang.

And indeed, Tang Tang’s gaze shifted to her, though she quickly bowed her head again, scraping her rice bowl as if nothing had happened.

"Eh, why aren’t you looking at me anymore? Am I not cute? Not pretty?"

Dou Dou, upset, reached out to snatch Tang Tang’s rice bowl.

She was just going through the motions; she was in an invisible state, so she couldn’t snatch Tang Tang’s bowl.

But Tang Tang seemed to notice something, suddenly lifting her head and looking around, then scanning the surroundings.

When locking eyes with Shen Siyuan, she immediately widened her eyes, making "oh oh ah ah" sounds as if she wanted to tell him something.

"Are you tattling to me?" Shen Siyuan asked with a hint of amusement.

He then asked, "Can you see them?"

But obviously, Tang Tang couldn’t answer his question.

Just then, Tang Tang suddenly pouted her little mouth and let out two huffs.

Next, a gust of wind arose out of nowhere in the courtyard, carrying Dou Dou and Xiao Yue up into the air.

"Huh?" Shen Siyuan was taken aback.

Dou Dou was even more excited, dancing and screaming in midair.

Was this calling upon the wind?

Tang Tang continued to eat calmly, as if nothing had happened.

And she even thoughtfully picked a piece of meat from her bowl and put it into Shen Siyuan’s.

At this time, Dou Dou and Xiao Yue, riding on the Yin Wind, descended back to the ground.

This time, Dou Dou didn’t dare to approach again, quietly coming to Shen Siyuan’s side.

She curiously asked, "Potato, who is this strange kid?"

"Her name is Tang Tang," replied Shen Siyuan.

At this point, he was beginning to realize that it might not be that Tang Tang could see ghosts; she could feel the wind, and the wind told her everything.

He believed this because as long as Dou Dou stood still, Tang Tang would withdraw her gaze, but whenever Dou Dou started to move, Tang Tang immediately shifted her focus to her.

And just now, the reason why her gaze lingered on Dou Dou was that Dou Dou kept moving about, while Xiao Yue barely moved at all.

Shen Siyuan began to suspect that Tang Tang might also be a Bloodline Inheritor.

He had previously requested the Special Affairs Bureau to investigate Tang Tang’s lineage, but there was no definite news so far.

He didn’t know if the investigation had been unsuccessful, or if Tang Tang’s background was too complicated. He decided to make another contact today to inquire about the situation.

"Wait for a moment, after I finish eating, I’ll go with you two," Shen Siyuan said to them, not avoiding Tang Tang.

Sure enough, Tang Tang didn’t hear what they said, still bowing her head to eat, with grains of rice all over her face.

Rice grains were on her drool bib, cheeks, tip of her nose, and even her eyebrows.

To the extent that Dou Dou mocked, "She’s so silly, getting rice in her eyebrows. I don’t do that, I only get rice on my butt."

Shen Siyuan: ??

Xiao Yue: ??

"Does your butt need to eat too?" Xiao Yue couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

"No, the rice fell on the chair, and then I sat on it," Dou Dou explained matter-of-factly.

Xiao Yue was amused by her, causing her to shake with laughter, and immediately Tang Tang’s gaze was drawn to her.

Once Xiao Yue stopped laughing and remained still, Tang Tang then withdrew her gaze.

After lunch, Shen Siyuan mentioned that he needed to leave for a while, and Ruan Hongzhuang drove him.

Whereas Jiang Yingxue stayed because she had to discuss the donation matter with Xu Liangyou and his wife.

She represented the enterprise cooperating with Rainbow House, so there were many details to discuss, like Xu Liangyou and his wife needing to calculate the cost of raising a child, the operational costs of Rainbow House, and so on, to have a general range of the amount.

Within this range, Eastern Shipping would transfer money into their account every year on schedule.

But Tang Tang was clinging to Shen Siyuan’s leg, wanting to follow along. Usually, Xu Liangyou and his wife wouldn’t agree unless they sent someone with her as a precaution.

But today was different; Jiang Yingxue was remaining at Rainbow House, so there was no fear of Tang Tang being abducted.

Plus, they didn’t think Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang were bad people—after all, no one spends three hundred thousand to be a villain.

So they agreed to let Tang Tang go out with Shen Siyuan.

Actually, Shen Siyuan didn’t want to take Tang Tang with him, but the little one clung to his trouser leg, sitting on his foot, refusing to let go.

Not until Shen Siyuan agreed did she release her hold.
