Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Envy

Before Xiao Ming Wei could reveal the answer, Milk Bun Ming Han blurted out, ”It’s the moon,” and raised his eyebrows at his sister Vivi.

Kang Li watched the twins with amusement, clapped her hands lightly, and said, ”Okay, okay, our story isn’t finished yet.”

The twins immediately shrank their necks, feeling guilty, and dared not look at Brother Ming Rui and their Brother Xuan Xuan.

”As days passed by, the little tadpoles continued to write and draw, and unwittingly, their pencils became shorter by the day, until eventually, they were too short to use.”

Xiao Ming Rui and Xuan Xuan were very nervous.

Kang Li: ”The little fish and shrimp in the pond noticed and murmured among themselves, ’Oh dear, the tadpoles must have picked up some bad habits, otherwise why would their tails be gone, right?’”

Milk Bun Ming Han thought hard and quietly asked his sister, ”Where did the tadpoles’ tails go?”

Xiao Ming Wei shook her head cutely, indicating she didn’t know either.

Kang Li glanced at the twins but didn’t give them the answer, instead, she continued the story: ”The fish and shrimp kept gossiping: ’Yes, yes, it was said that the little white rabbit got a short tail for telling lies!

’The tadpoles must have done something naughty for their tails to gradually disappear. In the beginning, the tadpoles thought they really lost their tails, they searched all over the pond, but then, suddenly, they laughed! Do you know why the tadpoles laughed?”

Xiao Ming Rui shook his head.

The young boy also shook his head.

Kang Li: ”It turned out, the tadpoles remembered something their mother had once said.”

”Mommy, Mommy, what did the tadpole mommy say?” Vivi was eager to know.

”Mama, Mama, please tell us!”

The twins cajoled sweetly, impatient to hear what the tadpole mom had told her children.

Kang Li’s eyes were filled with indulgent and tender laughter: ”The tadpoles’ mother had once said: ’Children, losing your tails means you are about to grow up, and you can go ashore to play with other little friends soon!’”

”So that’s why!”

Xiao Ming Wei sighed softly.

Milk Bun Ming Han: ”That’s amazing!”

Kang Li: ”And so, the tadpoles who were about to lose their tails hopped out of the pond one by one, and turned into cute little frogs!”

Xiao Ming Wei: ”Frogs are what tadpoles look like when they grow up, so magical!”

Milk Bun Ming Han: ”Mom, I really want to see how tadpoles grow up into frogs day by day!” As Milk Bun Ming Han’s words rang out, Brother Ming Rui, sister Vivi, and their Brother Xuan Xuan turned their hopeful gazes toward their mother (aunt).

”...”

Kang Li was stunned, where was she supposed to catch tadpoles? Was there a creek near the courtyard? And generally, weren’t tadpoles found in April or May... After a moment of silence and under the children’s expectant stares, Kang Li finally spoke:

”There are no tadpoles at this time of the year, how about this: tomorrow, mom will draw for you how tadpoles slowly turn into frogs on paper,

Next spring, mom will definitely find a way to catch some tadpoles for you to raise at home, so you can observe with your own eyes how they turn into frogs day by day. Now tell me, any objections?”

Song Xuan shook his head.

Ming Rui also shook his head.

The twins answered loudly: ”None at all! Mom is the best! Mama is awesome!”

In the next-door Wen Family Courtyard.

Wen Yue and her sisters Wen Yi and Wen Yu somehow found themselves sitting on little stools by the wall closest to the Luo Family’s side, all ears and envy in their eyes as they listened attentively to the story Kang Li was telling.
