The Long Aotian Cub Becomes the Pampered Darling of a Wealthy Family 100

Chapter 100

From a distance, the pond looked like a piece of green jade, and the swimming carp inside were like beautiful patterns on it.

Shen Tiantian lay on the railing, stretching his head to look into the pond.

He looked at the small red envelope that was floating further and further away in the middle of the pond, pouted, and tears welled up in his eyes, swirling around.

“My red envelope, wuwu.”

No wonder he couldn’t find it anywhere. It had fallen into the pond.

At this moment, Gu Nanqi had stopped crying. He turned his head and saw that Shen Tiantian was holding back a pool of tears.

He scratched his head, having no experience in comforting people, and his tone was dry.

“Don’t cry. My mom gave you the red envelope. Why don’t we go and ask Mom for another one later?”

The gentle Auntie Yueli was Gu Nanqi’s mother.

Gu Nanqi felt that Shen Tiantian had lost his red envelope, and it was also related to his fight. He should take a share of the responsibility.

But Tiantian was a child who cared about his pride. He had lost his red envelope himself. How could he have the nerve to go and ask Auntie Yueli for another one?

He wiped his tears. “No, Auntie Yueli already gave me one. I lost it myself.”

Gu Nanqi was a foul-mouthed and annoying child, but at a critical moment, his brain was quite clever.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of a way.

“I’ve got it! Look over there. It’s my family’s inflatable boat. We can row to the middle of the pond if we get on it!”

The small inflatable boat was to be able to quickly rescue someone if they fell into the pond.

Of course, the Gu family would also sometimes send people to row the boat to clean up the dead branches and leaves floating on the water.

The small boat had just been used two days ago, and it was still inflated.

Shen Tiantian followed Gu Nanqi and ran over. They got on the boat one after another and then untied the rope that was tied to the small boat.

Gu Nanqi was two years older than Shen Tiantian. Because of his mischievous and active personality, he had secretly come to sit on the boat several times before. His posture was very skilled, and he swung the small oar with force.

The small boat slowly moved towards the center of the pond with his movements.

The inflatable boat was very small and could only accommodate one adult.

Fortunately, the two children were relatively thin, so it seemed quite spacious when they sat on it.

Shen Tiantian leaned against the edge of the small boat, watching as he got closer and closer to the red envelope floating on the water, and his gaze also became brighter and brighter.

Just as he was about to reach the small red envelope, Shen Tiantian stretched his arm hard, held his breath, and still couldn’t reach it.

Gu Nanqi had long arms. He directly threw the small oar aside, rolled up his sleeves, and said:

“Let me do it!”

He leaned forward, and after grabbing for a long time, because of his long arms, he finally reached Shen Tiantian’s red envelope.

Shen Tiantian immediately let out a “wow,” his round eyes as if they had fallen into starlight, shining brightly.

“Gu Nanqi, you’re so amazing!”

When Tiantian praised people, his eyes were as bright as amber, and he seemed very sincere.

This was the first time Gu Nanqi had been praised so sincerely.

His dark skin instantly burned. He scratched his head and said with a foolish laugh:

“Not really. It was quite simple.”

Shen Tiantian nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes! You’re a super amazing little friend!”

Gu Nanqi, with the panda eyes that Shen Tiantian had given him and a ball of toilet paper stuffed in his nose from the nosebleed, was so dizzy from the praise that he giggled foolishly.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m just so-so amazing.”

Gu Nanqi waved his hand, feeling very pleased with himself, and almost floated up to the sky.

Tiantian is so good at fighting, and he speaks so nicely. He’s as beautiful as a doll on TV. I must have misunderstood Tiantian, Gu Nanqi thought.

Tiantian is not a liar like his cousin, but he is Gu Nanqi’s best friend!

Thinking of this, Gu Nanqi couldn’t help but rub his hands, his cheeks burning.

“That… Tiantian, I’m sorry. When I saw you today, I thought you were like my cousin, so I said a lot of bad things. I apologize to you.”

Gu Nanqi was a real little tyrant. He liked to fight with people at the slightest disagreement and had even made many children cry in kindergarten.

Like today, not only did he lose the fight, but he also apologized to the other party. It was a first.

If Auntie Yueli were here, she would definitely be so surprised her eyes would widen.

But Gu Nanqi didn’t feel ashamed at all. After all, Tiantian was his only recognized good brother!

Tiantian had fished out the wet red envelope. Although the red bills inside were also all wet, they could still be used after drying, and he was very happy.

Tiantian waved his hand, his eyes curved, and said very magnanimously:

“It’s all in the past. We’ll still be little friends in the future.”

Gu Nanqi nodded excitedly, wishing he could directly become sworn brothers with Shen Tiantian.

But before he could speak, Tiantian let out an “ai” and was the first to discover the blind spot.

“Gu Nanqi, where is the small oar in your hand?”

Gu Nanqi let out an “ah,” looked left and right in confusion, and only then did he suddenly remember that he had accidentally let go just now, and the oar had fallen into the pond!

“We’re done for!” Tiantian held his little face in terror. “We can’t go back!”

Gu Nanqi also panicked. The two children looked at me and I looked at you, completely dumbfounded.

They were floating in the middle of the pond. After a long while, they suddenly came back to their senses.

Then they both let out a roar and started to shout wildly:

“Help!”

“Someone, we’re trapped in the pond!”

In the front hall, Shen Yuanchuan was thinking, why hasn’t Shen Tiantian come back from the bathroom yet?

His eyelid twitched violently. Could something have happened again?

Just then, Gu Nanqi’s father was also worried about Gu Nanqi. The two of them simply went to the back to find them.

As soon as they walked into the yard, they heard two earth-shattering cries for help.

Shen Yuanchuan’s heart skipped a beat. He poked his head forward and saw two children floating in the middle of the pond.

Who else could it be but Shen Tiantian and Gu Nanqi?

“What’s going on?” Gu Nanqi’s father was the first to exclaim.

Tiantian had been floating on the pond for a while, but today, everyone was gathered in the front hall waiting for dinner, and no one had come to the back.

Seeing his daddy and Uncle Gu, Tiantian’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he waved his small hands vigorously.

“Daddy, Daddy, I’m here! Come and save Tiantian!”

The two adults stood on the shore, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness.

These two little ones had just been fighting to the death, and now they were playing on an inflatable boat together.

And they were floating in the middle of the pond and couldn’t come back.

It was quite embarrassing.

In the end, it was Gu Nanqi’s father who went to the warehouse in the back to get a spare inflatable boat, rowed to the middle of the pond, and lifted the two little cubs onto his own inflatable boat, rescuing them.

It wasn’t until his little feet landed on the ground that Shen Tiantian’s floating heart finally landed.

He calmed himself down, patted his little chest, and said:

“That was close. We’re saved.”

Shen Yuanchuan looked at the little one’s post-disaster expression, couldn’t help but tap his head with amusement, and told him to be more careful in the future.

But Gu Nanqi’s father, on the other side, was not so easy to talk to.

Gu Nanqi’s violent and rebellious nature seemed to have been inherited from him. Gu Nanqi’s father had a straight face, held the oar as a stick, and directly hit Gu Nanqi with it.

Shen Yuanchuan’s eyelid twitched, and he quickly stepped in to block him.

“Old Gu, it’s the New Year. Stop hitting the child.”

Gu Nanqi’s father was so angry that he threw the oar on the ground and pointed at Gu Nanqi’s head, scolding:

“What’s wrong with you? You’re fighting, bullying a little guest, and you can’t even be watched for a moment without taking someone to the middle of the pond. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to tear the house down?”

Gu Nanqi was used to being scolded by his father. He let out a breath from his nose, his face full of defiance.

“I didn’t!”

Gu Nanqi’s father looked at Gu Nanqi’s stubborn little appearance, and the more he looked, the angrier he got.

He was about to hit his son again when Shen Tiantian, on the side, quickly stood out and hugged Gu Nanqi’s father’s thigh.

“Uncle Gu, you can hit me. Gu Nanqi was just trying to help me by rowing the boat into the pond.”

Shen Tiantian was half-kneeling on the ground, scared by Gu Nanqi’s father’s fierce expression, thinking that he was going to beat Gu Nanqi to death.

A layer of tears welled up in his eye sockets. Tiantian’s nose was red, and his little shoulders heaved twice, his tone still carrying a soft and sweet sob.

“It’s all my fault, wuwu.”

At this moment, Gu Nanqi’s eye sockets were also filled with a layer of tears. He was both angry and wanted to cry, and the ball of toilet paper stuffed in his nose was even blown out by his anger.

“I was the one who wanted to take Tiantian rowing! You can hit me!”

Gu Nanqi’s tears and nosebleed fell together, and the tears mixed with the nosebleed. It was a miserable sight.

Gu Nanqi’s father saw the two children crying so miserably and had a headache. Old Master Gu, who had heard the commotion, arrived late, leaning on his cane as he came from the hallway.

As soon as Old Master Gu arrived, he hit Gu Nanqi’s father with his cane.

“You beast! You’re so heavy-handed. Look how you’ve beaten little Qi, he’s all bruised!”

Gu Nanqi’s father’s leg was numb from the cane. He was speechless and frustrated for a long time before he shouted:

“I didn’t hit him!”

He hadn’t even had a chance to hit him yet!

Old Master Gu let out a cold hmph at him, pulled up Gu Nanqi and Shen Tiantian, and took the two crying little children to the front.

He left a sentence behind, “If you didn’t hit him, who else could have?”

This brat, Gu Nanqi, besides his own father, had never been beaten so badly.

Gu Nanqi’s father watched as the group of them walked away, his heart filled with frustration, so much so that his chest hurt.

He was really a mute who had eaten a bitter pill and couldn’t complain.

Finally, they had safely returned to the front hall. Shen Tiantian let out a heavy sigh of relief.

He still had the wet little red envelope in his pocket. He sighed several times, thinking that it was really not easy to earn some New Year’s money.

Gu Nanqi, on the other hand, circled his grandfather. As soon as he reached the front hall, he directly knelt down to his grandfather.

“Grandpa, I want to become sworn brothers with Tiantian! From now on, he’s my best brother! And also your best little grandson.”

Old Master Gu: Huh?

Shen Yuanchuan, who was a step behind, was even more dazed. He looked at his little son, Shen Tiantian, then at the foolishly still-kneeling Gu Nanqi, and belatedly asked:

“What does this mean?”

Shen Tiantian was sitting on the sofa, eating a small snack. Seeing Gu Nanqi kneeling, he said, puzzled:

“What are you doing, Gu Xiaoqi?”

Gu Nanqi was lightly tapped on the bottom by Old Master Gu with his cane. He quickly got up and giggled twice.

“It’s nothing. We can’t become sworn brothers today. We can do it another time.”

Anyway, he and Shen Tiantian are good brothers. This is an indisputable fact!

The other adults, seeing Gu Nanqi and Shen Tiantian together again, couldn’t help but smile.

“Children are really interesting. They were just shouting and fighting, and now they want to become sworn brothers.”

“It’s always like that. You don’t know each other until you fight.”

With Gu Nanqi’s fuss, lunch was half an hour late.

The faint light of the sun came through the window, and the room seemed to have a small, bright, thin gauze in it.

There were too many guests at noon today, so lunch was divided into two tables.

Shen Tiantian sat at the children’s table, held a large bottle of Coke, and poured himself a small half-cup.

He blissfully ate a bite of shrimp, then took a couple of sips of the icy Coke, choked and coughed, let out a long sigh, and his eyes curved into a smile.

Tiantian touched the small red envelope in his pocket and swung his little feet.

The New Year is so good. He’s going to go for New Year’s greetings with his daddy again tomorrow.
