"Come on, come on, smile, let's get closer together."
Fang Lan squatted down with his mobile phone and directed Mingyao and Wen Jing to pose for a group photo.
Mingyao has been photographed by adults since she was a child. Now she has a strong sense of the camera, with a smile on her face and one hand facing the camera.
She looked at Wen Jing, who was standing upright beside her, and gently held his arm with one arm.
Fang Lan quickly pressed the shutter with quick eyes and hands.
The boy in the photo is fair and handsome, and the girl is delicate and cute. Standing together, they look like a golden couple.
Fang Lan nodded with satisfaction.
Wen Jing has never been fond of taking pictures, and she is particularly keen on the camera. When she took a photo of his back with a camera, he could detect it, get up and silently walk out of the camera range.
Children are different every day and grow up without paying attention. Fang Lan has always felt sorry that there are not many photos of Wen Jing until now. Fortunately, Mingyao can take Wen Jing to record his appearance at this time.
"Yao Yao, I wish you a happy birthday!"
After taking the photo, Fang Lan took out a small exquisite box from her handbag. Mingyao took the gift with both hands and thanked Fang Lan sweetly.
People in the banquet hall who recognized Wen Hongguang and Fang Lan came forward and exchanged warm greetings.
Wen Jing didn't like to participate in this kind of entertainment, so she walked silently to the corner of the banquet hall.
Mingyao understood his mentality and quietly caught up to him, grabbing him by the corner of his clothes and whispering:
"Brother, there is a small garden outside."
Wen Jing glanced at Mingyao and followed her silently.
The two children bypassed the adults, turned to the back door of the banquet hall, and entered the hotel's own garden.
The garden is full of greenery, surrounded by tall camphor trees, and a circle of purple hydrangeas are planted around the lawn. The clusters of flowers are very dazzling.
But what caught their attention was a lush Bodhi tree in the middle of the garden, with its lush branches and leaves like a canopy, casting a patch of light and shadow on the lawn.
Mingyao immediately recalled the Bodhi tree in Guiyuan Temple.
However, the Bodhi tree in Guiyuan Temple is much thicker than this one, and even several people cannot hug it.
Mingyao turned around and glanced at Wen Jing, and saw that there seemed to be some sadness and loneliness in his eyebrows, so she knew that he had also remembered what happened in his previous life.
"...Master Jingxuan." Mingyao suddenly called softly.
Wen Jing immediately turned to look at her, frowning slightly.
"Don't call me by this name in the future."
Looking at Mingyao, whose eyes were clear and confused, Wen Jing warned her carefully:
"Don't mention anything about your past life to anyone. This is a scientific world, and we don't believe in strange things."
Rabbits are simple-minded and in their previous lives they only cared about eating, drinking and sleeping. He was worried that she would reveal her life experience to others and be looked at in a strange way, which might even lead to more serious consequences.
Mingyao tilted her head and looked at him: "Then...brother?"
Wen Jing turned her head and expressed her acquiescence.
"Brother...if I..."
Mingyao's long eyelashes trembled slightly and she spoke softly, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted.
"Yao Yao! Xiao Jing! Why did you come here?"
Fang Lan stood at the door and greeted them. "Come back soon, it's time to cut the cake!"
Wen Jing straightened the corners of his mouth, and his figure was clearly reflected in the bright eyes of the little girl in front of him.
He could probably guess what Mingyao wanted to say.
It's just that he wants to take care of her like he did in his previous life.
Rabbits are weak and timid, and it is normal for them to seek protection from others.
But in his last life, he didn't know that this rabbit would turn into a human being.
Now that we are reincarnated, we naturally cannot get along with each other as we did in the previous life.
Even a rabbit must learn to be independent. Wen Jing thought lightly.
Mingyao and Wen Jing returned to the banquet hall. The waiter brought a five-layer cake. Tan Kang picked up the microphone and began to speak very emotionally:
"Dear guests, dear relatives and friends, good afternoon! Today is my daughter Mingyao's third birthday! I am very happy and honored to have so many relatives and friends come to celebrate. Here, on behalf of my whole family, I would like to extend my best wishes to you all. My heartfelt thanks and warmest welcome for coming..."
Warm applause broke out, and everyone sang happy birthday while clapping their hands.
Mingyao was surrounded by everyone, with a sweet smile, and the diamond crown on her head reflected the dazzling light, like a little princess holding the moon among the stars.
Wen Jing did not come forward and stood in the corner, looking sideways inadvertently.
A little boy was lying outside the glass, staring directly at Mingyao who was surrounded in the center.
After the little boy caught Wen Jing's gaze, he ran away quickly.
Wen Jing thought he was someone else's child and didn't take it seriously.
After the banquet, Wen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and followed her parents out of the hotel.
"Brother, wait a minute!"
When Wen Jing heard this soft voice, he knew who the person who called him was.
Looking back, he saw Mingyao running towards him carrying a small bag.
Perhaps because the prototype was a rabbit, Mingyao ran very lightly and faster than ordinary children. The hem of her white skirt fell together and flew over like a little butterfly.
Mingyao stopped in front of Wen Jing, her face turned slightly red because of running, and she gasped:
"Brother, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you. I wish you a happy birthday."
The little girl handed the handbag to him, then whispered into his ear.
"Thank you for always taking care of me."
Wen Jing first smelled a sweet milk fragrance, and then heard her words, and her heart moved slightly.
He knew that she was thanking Jingxuan for taking care of Xiaotu in her previous life.
Jingxuan is very powerful and many people seek help from him. He also protects many brothers and sisters in Guiyuan Temple.
In comparison, taking care of Xiaotu was not worth mentioning, but Jingxuan did it casually.
Unexpectedly, this rabbit still remembered the kindness and came to express his gratitude.
"Goodbye, brother Xiaojing, uncle and aunt, walk slowly and pay attention to safety on the road."
Mingyao waved obediently and said goodbye to several people in a sweet voice.
After getting in the car, Fang Lan started to sigh again: "Yao Yao is so sensible and cute!"
Looking at their brat who didn't even say thank you after taking the gift, Fang Lan glared at Wen Hongguang who was driving.
"It's all your fault! My son who is so serious every day must have learned from you!"
Wen Hongguang: "..."
Fang Lan turned to look at Wen Jing again: "Xiao Jing, what good things did my sister give you?"
Wen Jing opened the box and found a black phone watch inside.
Fang Lan said happily: "You can call sister Yaoyao from now on. Are you happy?"
"I received a gift from my sister, shouldn't you also give her a gift in return?" Fang Lan then coaxed her son step by step, trying to teach his son how to be human and how to behave in the world:
"You go back and think about what to give to your sister. Can you give it to her when we meet next time?"
Wen Jing: "..."
