Teasing the Strawberry-Flavored Baby Alpha (ABO, GL) - Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Such regret lingered all the way until June. Shen Tian could not only not hug her Little Lu sister at night, but a whole series of kisses got confiscated too. Her Little Lu sister still treated her very well, yet Shen Tian always felt like something was missing.

Sometimes Lu Ningwan caught the aggrieved little look in her little milk dog’s eyes, and she almost burst out laughing. She was clearly taller than Lu Ningwan, yet she still gazed at her like a pitiful little thing.

After preparing for several months, Shen Tian and Lu Ningwan welcomed the college entrance exam.

Compared to Lu Ningwan, Shen Tian was a bit more nervous. Her grades were not as good as Lu Ningwan’s, but she could still rank fifth or sixth in the class. Shen Tian did not have many aspirations for university. Her goal was simply to attend the same university as her Little Lu sister.

On the day of the exam, the sky drizzled endlessly. Shen Tian and Lu Ningwan got up very early, just in case the road got congested. Lu Ningwan glanced at the little milk dog lost in thought, leaned close to her, and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you nervous? Why do you have such a bitter little face?”

Shen Tian looked at Lu Ningwan and wanted to lean in for some coquetry, but she remembered what her Little Lu sister had said before—that they were adults now and could not act like they did when they were little. So Shen Tian stayed put.

She was not worried about whether she would pass or fail; she just feared her score would fall too far behind her Little Lu sister’s. Mommy and the others had asked Little Lu sister about her wishes, and Little Lu sister had said she wanted to go straight to Linhai University. It was close to home, and she could help out if anything came up. Shen Tian actually thought the same, and in that way, she could attend the same school as Little Lu sister.

But when Shen Tian thought about the admission score for Linhai University, she wilted a little. Her mock exam scores had basically just scraped by for Linhai University, so whether she could get in remained an unknown for her.

“It’s nothing, Little Lu sister. I’m just a bit scared. What if my score doesn’t reach the admission line for Linhai University? I do not want to go to any other university. I just want to be with Little Lu sister.” Shen Tian lay on the table, thought for a moment, and said.

Lu Ningwan saw her little milk dog so dejected and reached out to ruffle the top of her head. She could clearly feel the little milk dog’s eyes light up. “Tiantian, do not worry. I believe Tiantian can definitely do it. If Tiantian achieves it, then I will tell Tiantian a secret at that time.”

Shen Tian perked up the moment someone touched her head and mentioned a secret. Her eyes darted cleverly as she asked Lu Ningwan, “Little Lu sister, what secret?”

Lu Ningwan’s gaze toward Shen Tian grew even gentler. She reached out, tapped the little milk dog’s nose, and said with a smile, “I said it is a secret. If I tell you, it will not come true anymore, right?”

“Oh.” The little milk dog responded in a aggrieved tone, but she still felt happy because of that bit of closeness from Lu Ningwan just now. Her Little Lu sister had not touched her head for so long since that day.

Lu Ningwan looked at her little milk dog with amusement. To cheer her on, she added, “Tiantian, be good and take the exam. When it is done, I will reward you with a kiss—the kind between adults, not treating you like a little kid.” Lu Ningwan supplemented.

Shen Tian’s eyes lit up the instant she heard about a kiss. She had gone months without one, to the point where she lacked interest in everything, even finding custard buns annoying. Now her Little Lu sister would give her a kiss! Shen Tian revived at full health right away.

Lu Ningwan watched her little milk dog with amusement. It was just a kiss—why did it have such a greater effect on the little milk dog than an energy drink?

“Little Lu sister, then you cannot go back on it. One kiss per subject, hehe.” The little milk dog pushed her luck and bargained.

“Fine.” Lu Ningwan agreed with a chuckle. The day after the college entrance exam was her little milk dog’s birthday, so it would not count as puppy love then. But for some reason, her little milk dog showed no signs of differentiating. Could the little milk dog’s final attribute be beta? Lu Ningwan felt a bit uncertain. If it really was beta, that would be a little regrettable, since the little milk dog would not be able to smell her scent.

The little milk dog now had full motivation to eat. She downed three more custard buns in a row and declared with high spirits, “Little Lu sister, rest assured. I will definitely do well on the exam. I want to go to the same university as Little Lu sister!”

Lu Ningwan’s brows and eyes curved slightly as she looked at her little milk dog. “Good. My Tiantian is the best.”

When Shen Xian came downstairs, she saw her two little ones mutually praising each other in a businesslike way. She smiled and said, “You two are pretty good at that. Have you eaten enough? If so, let us head out. We should go early—I am afraid it will be congested if we are late.”

Shen Tian was not sure if it was her imagination, but it seemed like it always rained during the college entrance exam every year. This year was the same, with misty drizzle outside that looked like it would continue.

“Remember to bring your admission tickets and stationery, plus umbrellas and tissues. Oh, and grab a bottle of sparkling water too, in case you get thirsty?” Shen Xian reminded them.

“Right, let me check everything for you again.” Lin Qinghan nodded, went over the two little ones’ things once more, and relaxed only when she confirmed nothing was missing. Though the two little ones were already as tall as she was—and Shen Tian even three centimeters taller than Lin Qinghan—she still worried as much as ever. After all, they were the two little beans she had raised from the start.

Lu Ningwan smiled. Mommy and Mother really worried too much about them. “Got it, Mommy and Mother. Tiantian and I have packed everything. Let us go.”

“Good. Once the college entrance exam is over, you will really be adults. Your mommy and I can relax then. Hurry up and come to the company to learn, so you can take it over sooner.” Lin Qinghan thought that once Yinan finished her college entrance exam too, she and Shen Xian could set aside most of their worries.

“Mother and Mommy, rest assured. Little Lu sister and I will definitely work hard!” Shen Tian vowed solemnly.

After sending the two little ones into the exam site, Shen Xian and Lin Qinghan had no plans to leave. They intended to buy some fruit for the two little ones later, and they had booked a nearby hotel for lunch, so the two could rest a bit at noon.

Shen Tian and Lu Ningwan sat in the car for a while until the school gates opened. Then the two took their umbrellas and said goodbye to Shen Xian and Lin Qinghan.

Lin Qinghan looked at the little ones, who had grown even a bit taller than her, and felt a flood of emotions. Ningwan was two or three centimeters shorter than Tiantian too. When the two little ones stood together, they actually looked quite well-matched?

Shen Xian glanced at Lin Qinghan and asked, “What is it? Why are you looking at the two little ones like that?”

“I just think Tiantian and Ningwan look quite well-matched standing together. And Ningwan is the child we raised. If she really likes someone else in the future, I would actually hate to let her go.” Lin Qinghan watched the two little ones’ backs as they vanished into the rain curtain.

Shen Xian smiled and said, “You think I want to let her go? It mainly depends on our Tiantian, though. Qinghan, do you think we controlled Tiantian too strictly? She seems to have no interest in romance at all now.”

Lin Qinghan chuckled and said, “Is that because of us? It is your daughter who has not opened her eyes to it yet. But I feel like Ningwan treats Tiantian differently. She is the same toward her sister—Ningwan really treats Yinan like a sister. With Tiantian, it is not like that. Anyway, it does not seem like sisters.”

“Yes, and speaking of which, Tiantian will turn eighteen in just two days. I wonder if she will differentiate.” Shen Xian worried a little about her little one. She was not afraid of anything else—just that if the little one differentiated during these exam days, it would be trouble.

“Who knows. Anyway, it does not matter what she differentiates into, as long as she meets someone she likes.”

At noon when the exam ended, the sky was still overcast, but the rain had stopped. Shen Tian thought the morning Chinese exam was fairly simple. With the kisses Lu Ningwan had promised in mind, her mood improved instantly, and she faced the afternoon math exam full of confidence.

When Shen Tian came out, her mother, mommy, and Lu Ningwan waited for her by the car. Shen Tian ran over eagerly, originally planning to ask Lu Ningwan for the kiss right away, but she forgot that mother and mommy were there.

Shen Tian could only go hug Lu Ningwan instead. Though she was a bit taller than Lu Ningwan, she coquetted with effortless ease. “Little Lu sister, I did well on the exam~”

Lu Ningwan’s eyes held gentle warmth. She did not mind that mother and mommy were still there and reached out to ruffle the little milk dog’s hair. “Good. I knew my Tiantian was the best.” Shen Xian and Lin Qinghan glanced at the two little ones hugging and felt like they were somewhat superfluous.

Shen Xian drove them all to the nearby hotel. After lunch, she arranged for the two little ones to nap.

Shen Xian had booked a suite with an inner and outer room, each with a double bed. She let the two little ones rest in the inner room. With an hour and a half until the afternoon exam, the time felt quite ample.

Once in the inner room, Shen Tian looked only at Lu Ningwan and wheedled softly, “Little Lu sister, shall we go to the bathroom together?”

Based on her understanding of the little milk dog, Lu Ningwan had long guessed what scheme the little milk dog was plotting. She crooked a finger at her.

Shen Tian glanced embarrassedly at mother and mommy in the outer room and saw them talking. Only then did she scoot over. Lu Ningwan watched the little milk dog’s thief-hearted but timid look with amusement, grabbed the little milk dog’s arms to hold her still, leaned close to the side of her face, and planted a kiss there.

Just then, Shen Xian’s gaze happened to sweep over and catch the whole scene. She quickly looked away. Had she just discovered an unbelievable secret about the little ones?!

Shen Tian went dazed from the kiss. Little Lu sister had actually kissed her just like that! Was she not afraid of mother and mommy seeing?

Lu Ningwan looked at the little milk dog’s shocked expression with a chuckle. “Alright, hurry and sleep for a bit. There is still an exam later.”

Shen Tian finally lay down obediently on the bed.

Lu Ningwan had considered whether that kiss might get seen, but on second thought, she figured such things might happen often in the future, so mother and mommy might as well get used to it early.

Shen Xian glanced at the two little ones who had fallen asleep but could not say anything to Lin Qinghan right then. She could only hold it in by herself.

Around two o’clock, the sky started drizzling again. Shen Xian drove the two little ones to school as usual.

Once the two little ones were out of sight, Shen Xian hurriedly said to Lin Qinghan beside her, “Qinghan, at noon I saw Ningwan kiss Tiantian’s face.”

Lin Qinghan had been playing on her phone but perked up at once. “Really? How come I did not see?”

“It is true. I caught it by accident. And from the look of it, they seemed pretty practiced?” Shen Xian thought for a moment and said.
