CHAPTER 816: CHAPTER 813: THE JOURNEY OF THREE LITTLE BEANS

"Oh, why is Sister Mi Li crying again?"

Dou Dou squatted on the ground, holding her chin with one hand and drawing circles in the snow with the other.

Duoduo stood by, watching Mi Li, wanting to offer comfort but hesitated.

She had been dead for a long time, much longer than Mi Li, so long that she was almost forgetting her parents and naturally worried that they might forget her too.

Her greatest fear was forgetting what her parents looked like one day, luckily she met Brother Banner Master and saw her parents again, and they never forgot her; everything was progressing positively.

So she could empathize with Mi Li.

Thus, Duoduo said, "Because she died."

Upon hearing this, Dou Dou’s little head was full of question marks — hadn’t Sister Mi Li died a long time ago? Why is she still sad?

Hence, she quietly scooted closer, like a little penguin, nearing Mi Li and said, "Do you want to come to my house? I have lots of toys; you can play with them."

"Besides, during New Year, I received lots of red envelopes. I can buy anything in the supermarket, if... if we don’t have enough money, we can rob some from Tang Tang."

The distressed Mi Li was amused by her.

Wiping her tears, she said, "Robbing is wrong."

"Then... then we can tie her with a rope, take her out for a walk, and let her pick for us."

Thinking of tying Tang Tang with a rope, making her bark, Dou Dou amused herself so much that she bent forward and backward, then sat down on the snow, making Duoduo giggle beside her.

Hearing their laughter, Mi Li seemed to be affected, feeling less sad; at least she now had two friends.

So she wiped away her tears, choking, gradually stopping crying.

"Sister Mi Li stopped crying, let’s go quickly, take her to my house, then go rob Tang Tang..." Seeing this, Dou Dou promptly said to Duoduo.

With eager anticipation, waiting for her to pull out the Qiankun Umbrella.

But just at this moment, Mi Li hurriedly said, "Wait, wait, I have something..."

Duoduo didn’t move because she also felt Mi Li likely had some unfinished wish.

"Is it to see Xiao Peng?" Duoduo asked curiously.

Mi Li nodded.

"Who is Xiao Peng? Why don’t I know?" Dou Dou said angrily beside them.

Duoduo glanced sideways at her; that can’t be blamed on anyone. When Mi Li was talking to Brother Banner Master, she was busy cozying up to two newly met young ladies.

"Xiao Peng is my best friend." Mi Li said.

"Your parents don’t remember you anymore, does he still?" Dou Dou said.

Upon hearing this, Mi Li puckered her mouth, on the verge of tears again.

Dou Dou opened her mouth to say more but was pinched by Duoduo, forming a duck mouth.

"Fu~fu~fu..."

Even so, Dou Dou’s little mouth didn’t rest, spitting saliva at Duoduo’s palm.

This time, Mi Li was completely amused, bursting into laughter.

The three little ones transformed into a gust of Yin Wind and flew into the sky.

"Do you know where his house is?" Duoduo asked curiously.

"I do," Mi Li replied.

After thinking, she added, "But that was a long time ago, not sure if he’s moved or if he’s home."

"He must be home, everyone returns home for New Year," Dou Dou hurriedly said beside her.

"Right, everyone comes home for New Year." Hearing this, Mi Li showed a happy expression.

She felt Dou Dou finally said something nice.

Mi Li had been deceased for more than ten years; such a long time meant she must have done more than just staying home. She had been to many places near her home too.

Since Xiao Peng’s home was far from Mi Li’s, she’d only visited once or twice; roaming unfamiliar environments was indeed dangerous.

Compared to Mi Li, Xiao Peng was luckier, finding a suitable bone marrow donor and recovering, now attending college.

Being in flight, a distance that was initially far became close almost in the span of their conversation.

Xiao Peng’s home was much better than Mi Li’s — the living community had more complete facilities and better greenery than Mi Li’s.

"Not bad indeed."

Dou Dou looked around, giving her assessment.

"Can we swim inside?" Dou Dou pointed to the artificial lake inside the community.

"That’s a lake; how can you swim there?" Mi Li didn’t understand at all.

"We can at our place, and also at Potato’s..." Dou Dou said confidently.

"We can’t swim here; everything is frozen, but we can skate on the lake." Mi Li replied.

"Ah, pretty good, pretty good." Dou Dou rubbed her plump chin, expressing her interest in this.

"Alright, alright, let’s quickly find Xiao Peng." Duoduo urged.

She thought if they kept arguing, it might be nightfall soon.

Thus, the three little ones headed towards building six of the community.

"What’s Xiao Peng’s name?" Duoduo asked curiously along the way.

"Of course, Xiao Peng’s name is Xiao Peng, Duoduo, you’re so silly, haha~" Dou Dou mocked.

"I meant his full name, not nickname." Duoduo said, a little irritated.

"He’s called Jiang Feipeng." Mi Li said.

"Right, I don’t know your full names either?" Mi Li asked again.

"I’m Lin Yunduo." Duoduo replied.

After Duoduo spoke, she and Mi Li turned to look at Dou Dou.

Dou Dou scratched her head, "My name... My name... Sister Duoduo, what’s my name again?"

"You don’t even know your own name?" Duoduo asked sideways.

"Of course I know, I’m Dou Dou." She said indignantly.

"I meant your full name."

"Why need a full name, it’s not like we’ll use it, I feel Dou Dou suits me just fine." Dou Dou said confidently.

Duoduo ignored her, turned to Mi Li, "Her name is Tao Hongdou."

"Yes, yes, that’s what I wanted to say." Dou Dou nodded repeatedly; she finally remembered her name.

"Haha..."

Mi Li happily laughed again.

The trio chatted as they reached the ground in front of the building; they revealed their figures, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to enter earlier.

"I’ll press the elevator button." Dou Dou said first.

But just then, the elevator next door suddenly opened, several people walked out from inside.

Seeing the three kids, they were slightly stunned, then chuckled, "Whose kids are these? So cute."

Then hurriedly left their side; everyone was busy, few people had time to stop and pause.

"Quickly enter."

Seeing people coming out, Dou Dou rushed inside first.

Unexpectedly, the elevator still had someone coming out, a young person, head down playing on his phone, missed seeing Dou Dou and knocked her down on her rear.

"Ouch."

Dou Dou sprawled, exclaiming.

"Are you okay?"

The young man realized, quickly bent down and picked up Dou Dou.

"I’m fine, I have lots of booty meat."

Dou Dou chuckled and patted her own rear.

"Oh, good then."

The young man sighed in relief at her words, examining all three, curiously asked, "Which floor are you going to?"

Then his gaze rested on Mi Li.

Brows furrowed, showing surprise and doubt.
