"I won't, didn't you just say you didn't like me? We're breaking up from now on." Fu Wenwen wasn't buying Lu Xiyue's act, "Anyway, you don't listen to me and deliberately go against me."
"Mom..." Lu Xiyue guiltily glanced at Fu Wenwen, her small hands nervously twisting her clothes.
Seeing the wall she had dirtied, Lu Xiyue's big eyes rolled. "Mom, I'll go wipe the wall clean. Mom, don't be angry, okay?"
Fu Wenwen sat on the sofa, silent.
Lu Xiyue, with her small arms and legs, couldn't possibly lift the basin full of water. Lu Chengsen and Lu Ze'an wanted to help but were stopped by Fu Wenwen's gaze.
Lu Chengsen and Lu Ze'an watched Lu Xiyue anxiously, waiting for her to ask for help.
Then, their eyes widened in the next moment.
They saw the protagonist, whom they thought couldn't possibly lift it, casually carrying the water-filled basin with her small arms and legs. She walked to the wall, and when she put it down, the angle was slightly off, spilling some water.
But she had indeed moved the water-filled basin.
"She..." Lu Chengsen looked speechlessly at Fu Wenwen on the sofa, who seemed to have known all along that her daughter wasn't fragile.
"You already knew, didn't you?" Lu Chengsen knew Fu Wenwen had special abilities, but he didn't know their daughter did too.
"I could sense it, but she never showed anything different before she turned four, so I thought it was just my imagination," Fu Wenwen replied, pointing at Lu Xiyue, who looked bewildered and unaware. kuAiδugg
"Did you only look at the wall below? Look up at the top," Fu Wenwen reminded him.
Lu Chengsen and Lu Ze'an looked up at the ceiling. Directly above the wall, there was also an area painted with pigment, even larger than the one below.
"..." Lu Chengsen and Lu Ze'an looked at each other in silence.
"Did little sister inherit Mom's abilities?" Lu Ze'an had known Fu Wenwen had special abilities, but Lu Xiyue did too...
This was truly the first time he had seen it.
"She must have awakened them recently," Fu Wenwen said, rubbing her temples. With her abilities, she hadn't let anyone else know in this world except the Lu family.
After all, those closest to you couldn't be hidden.
But her daughter Lu Xiyue was only four years old. Now that she had awakened her abilities, Fu Wenwen had no experience and didn't know how to teach her...
In her previous life, she had awakened her abilities suddenly after she was an adult and sensible. When she was a child, there were no signs, she was just a normal child.
When she was born, every time she fed her, she felt her abilities being absorbed by her.
Thinking back now, she might have always had them, but she hadn't used them.
"Yueyue, how did you paint up there?" Lu Chengsen asked Lu Xiyue, pointing at the ceiling.
"Dad, it's very simple! I asked Little Green to carry me up, and then I painted like this!" Lu Xiyue even demonstrated with her abilities.
Seeing Lu Xiyue lifted into the air by the green vine, Lu Chengsen covered his face.
"You haven't shown anyone else, have you?" Lu Chengsen asked, clinging to his last hope.
"I... I even used it in front of Grandpa?" Lu Xiyue looked at Lu Chengsen cautiously and said in a small voice.
"Just Grandpa?" Lu Chengsen was relieved.
Then he heard Lu Xiyue slowly continue.
"Also Grandma, Grandpa, Grandmother, Great Grandpa, Eldest Uncle..."
Lu Xiyue listed almost everyone.
Fu Wenwen and Lu Chengsen simultaneously covered their heads, both with headaches.
Lu Ze'an chuckled and said to Fu Wenwen and Lu Chengsen,
"Dad and Mom, you don't need to be so pessimistic. Little sister only sees us family members every day. We will always meet, and she must have noticed Mom's abilities long ago."
Lu Ze'an pointed to their yard.
"What family's yard has fresh flowers blooming all year round like ours..."
Fu Wenwen was stunned for a moment.
It was over. Her headache worsened.
"Yueyue, promise Mom, you won't easily use this ability in front of others anymore, okay?" Fu Wenwen hugged Lu Xiyue and earnestly instructed her.
"Mom, why?" Lu Xiyue looked at Fu Wenwen in confusion, blinking curiously.
"Because if others know, it might be detrimental to us." Fu Wenwen rubbed Lu Xiyue's head. She didn't want her daughter to be seen as an anomaly.
People are always afraid of the unknown, even if their abilities are harmless, it's still wise to be cautious.
"Oh." Lu Xiyue seemed to understand but not entirely.
"Alright, then you continue wiping!" Fu Wenwen put Lu Xiyue down, letting her continue her cleaning project.
After all, they weren't at that point yet, and she didn't want to put too much pressure on her daughter.
"Still have to wash?" Lu Xiyue thought she had escaped! In the end, she still had to wash...
"You made your bed, you have to lie in it. You're not allowed to let your brother help you." Fu Wenwen said calmly.
"...Okay." Lu Xiyue mumbled and obediently returned to the wall.
Lu Ze'an was about to go help when he saw Lu Xiyue pouting, looking at him pitifully, but not daring to ask him to help wring the towel.
Nine-year-old Lu Ze'an, seeing his sister's pleading eyes, glanced at Fu Wenwen. Fu Wenwen was talking to Lu Chengsen about something important. Lu Ze'an secretly wrung the towel for Lu Xiyue and handed it to her.
Lu Xiyue grinned at Lu Ze'an and awkwardly wiped the paint she had drawn on the wall.
It was just a white wall. The wet towel only made it dirtier...
Lu Xiyue, looking at the even dirtier white wall after wiping, was so scared she almost cried.
"Brother, what do we do? It's even dirtier..."
Lu Ze'an looked at Lu Xiyue and rubbed her head. "We'll just have to go and apologize to Mom obediently."
"...Okay." Lu Xiyue looked at the wall she had stained, clutching her clothes.
Gathering her courage, she walked up to Fu Wenwen. Afraid she would be angry, she gently hooked Fu Wenwen's finger with her small hand.
"Mom... I'm sorry. Yueyue couldn't wipe it clean, I made the wall even dirtier."
Seeing that Lu Xiyue truly knew she was wrong, Fu Wenwen's anger subsided.
"So, do you know what you did?" Fu Wenwen asked softly.
"I know, Yueyue was wrong. I shouldn't have painted on the wall..." Lu Xiyue admitted her mistake. She thought it could be wiped off, just like Dad wiped the paint off the table.
"As long as you remember. Mom forgives you this time." Fu Wenwen rubbed Lu Xiyue's head.
"Even though you drew in the wrong place, I have to say, Yueyue's drawing is good. It's just a shame it wasn't on paper, so Mom can't keep it for you."
"Mom, I'll definitely draw on paper next time." As soon as she heard Fu Wenwen liked her drawing, Lu Xiyue's grievances vanished.
"Okay!" Fu Wenwen smiled. Lu Chengsen picked Lu Xiyue up. "Yueyue draws so well."
"Hmph." Lu Xiyue glared at Lu Chengsen, her temper flaring up again.
"Dad, you didn't help me just now!"
