"Wow, Gugu, you're flying, you're flying..."
Seeing Gugu's feet leave the ground, Little Carp excitedly hopped up and down in place.
Gugu, who hadn't noticed herself, immediately fell back to the ground after hearing this, landing on the flower bed.
Liu Nanfeng quickly stepped forward to help her up.
"You were flying very well just now, don't be afraid," Liu Nanfeng said, picking off the fallen flower petals from her.
Gugu looked up at Liu Nanfeng, her big eyes sparkling with light.
It was as if she were asking if she had indeed flown well.
At this moment, Little Carp also ran over, excitedly saying, "Gugu, you're amazing, fly again for me to see."
Liu Nanfeng gently stroked her head, letting the two play on their own.
Then he turned to find Su Jinxiu and Su Huamei, preparing to arrange living quarters for the two sisters as well.
Su Jinxiu had just said she liked this place, and it would be nice for her to keep Gugu company, so Liu Nanfeng planned to create living quarters for them opposite Gugu's house, and also expand the area a bit.
Immediately, a rumbling sound echoed, and the trees around the flower bed shifted further back. Countless flowers began to spread outwards like ink wash painting.
Forming a vast circular plaza. Of course, Liu Nanfeng also left several paths for people to walk on, but they were not straight roads, but winding ones, creating a sense of secluded beauty.
The two little ones running in the flower bed also stopped their movements, looking at this scene with curiosity.
Everything seemed perfect, the only imperfection perhaps being the lack of butterflies and bees.
Besides that, Liu Nanfeng also created a room for Su Jinxiu and Su Huamei respectively. They weren't very large, but they were exquisite, with vines crawling up the walls and flowers blooming everywhere.
A winding path connected their rooms to the rooms of Little Carp and Gugu.
In the center of the path, on the right side, Liu Nanfeng specially carved out a large open space. No flowers were planted there, only a giant tree with lush foliage, like a green umbrella. Thick vines hung down from the trunk, forming a natural swing, and purple flowers bloomed on the vines.
This was a place specifically for Gugu and Little Carp to play.
However, Gugu still couldn't fly. Although Little Carp kept encouraging her, when she deliberately tried to fly, she didn't know how to flap her wings, and she was so anxious that she almost started to cry.
Seeing her like this, Little Carp stopped urging her and continued to play airplane, play with the ball, and swing on the swing with her. They played for a long time, forgetting the passage of time.
Until...
"Gugu?"
Gugu looked at Little Carp with confusion, wondering what was wrong with Little Carp.
Little Carp was looking down, staring at her little belly with surprise.
Upon hearing Gugu's call, she looked up and said excitedly, "Gugu, my tummy is also making gurgling sounds."
Gugu: (⊙o⊙)...
"Gugu."
Gugu turned and walked towards the house.
"Gugu, where are you going?" Little Carp quickly chased after her.
But soon, Gugu came out of the house with a piece of fruit and handed it to Little Carp.
Seeing the fruit, Little Carp finally realized, and said foolishly, "So I was hungry, so hungry that my tummy was gurgling."
She took the fruit and took a bite. Although it was sweet, she still wanted to eat meat.
So she turned to look around, and saw that Big Brother and Sister Su were sitting in the flower bed not far away. Holding the fruit, she hurried over.
"Oh no, oh no..."
Little Carp ran, shouting as she went.
"What's wrong?" Liu Nanfeng stood up in surprise, thinking something serious had happened.
Had she been injured while playing?
"My tummy is making gurgling sounds." Little Carp ran to Liu Nanfeng in a flurry, hands on her hips, sticking out her little belly.
Liu Nanfeng didn't react at first. Upon hearing this, he comforted her, "How can a tummy talk? You must have heard it wrong."
"No, listen, it's making noise again."
"Gurgle~"
"Uh..." Liu Nanfeng finally understood.
So it was the gurgling sound of hunger.
The Su sisters beside them almost burst into laughter, but this scene was indeed incredibly heartwarming.
"Have we been inside for several hours?" Liu Nanfeng asked them.
Su Jinxiu stopped smiling and said, "It must be six or seven hours."
The place was so beautiful that they lingered, reluctant to leave.
"Then let's go out," Liu Nanfeng said.
Then he waved to Gugu not far away, beckoning her over to go back together.
When Gugu walked over, Liu Nanfeng changed his mind, and everyone instantly reappeared in the living room.
"Wow..." Little Carp exclaimed first, then turned and ran towards the coffee table, because there were snacks on it.
At this time, Zhu Yin'e, hidden in the river outside the balcony, sensed the presence of the woman again. After sighing with relief, she instantly retreated.
Su Jinxiu sensed something and glanced in that direction, then twitched her nose and looked around.
"What's wrong?" Su Huamei asked.
"Nothing."
Su Jinxiu's gaze fell on the "Koi Playing in Waves" painting on the opposite wall.
Meanwhile, Little Carp, having eaten the potato chips, let out a sigh of relief and then came to Liu Nanfeng, asking, "Big Brother, when do we eat?"
"Eat? You just ate a moment ago, why do you want to eat again?" Su Huamei teased her.
"A moment ago? How could it be just a moment ago? A lot, a lot of time has passed..."
Little Carp excitedly spread her short, chubby arms, trying to gesture the extent.
"Is that so? What time is it now?" Su Huamei pointed to the wall clock.
Little Carp looked up, watching intently.
"It's only half past one, still very early," Su Huamei said.
Time in Guanshanhai flowed ten times faster than outside. They had been inside for six or seven hours, which was only about forty minutes outside.
Little Carp's expression became one of sudden realization.
"Now you know, it's not time for dinner yet," Su Huamei added.
"I don't recognize it."
Su Huamei: ...
"I don't recognize this thing," Little Carp said, turning and running to the balcony, then crouching down and looking at the sky through the balcony glass.
Although Little Carp didn't recognize the clock, she could tell the approximate time by the sunlight.
But looking at the sun in the sky, her face showed confusion. She rubbed her eyes, she hadn't misread.
Now, Little Carp was even more bewildered. Why was this happening?
I've obviously been playing for a long time, and my tummy is already gurgling, yet the sun hasn't moved an inch. Is he being lazy?
"Big Brother..."
"What is it?"
"Something's not right, or have I become stupid?" Little Carp said indignantly.
"There's nothing wrong, and you haven't become stupid. Time passes faster in Gugu's home, so that's why you feel like a lot of time has passed..." Liu Nanfeng explained to her as simply and clearly as possible.
But Little Carp was still confused and didn't understand at all.
However, Sister Jinxiu had already gone to the kitchen to cook. Little Carp heard it and hurried to the kitchen, peeking in through the door frame.
Su Jinxiu heard the movement and turned around to see Little Carp's cute face peeking out, which strengthened her desire to have children.
With her husband at home, herself in the kitchen, and their children chattering, this was a complete family.
