Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 470: 131: Zheng Xianjing Approaches Fuwa Father and Son_2

Li Yanran spoke irritably, “I don’t have a runny nose anymore.”

As a modern woman, Li Yanran didn’t want to have anything to do with snot, but this blockhead Zhou kept associating her with the nickname Nose Drip Sister!

If others found out about her obscure nickname, Nose Drip Sister, how could she carry on?

“Although you don’t have a runny nose now, you did when you were little. Speaking of which, Nose Drip Sister, where are you now? When did you change your name? I recall you were Li Sanchun before, weren’t you?”

Li Yanran gave a dry laugh, “You remembered wrong, I’ve always been Li Yanran.”

Li Yanran was indeed originally known as Li Sanchun… her grandfather personally named her.

Later, an aunt who had been studying abroad thought the name was too unsophisticated and changed it to Li Yanran.

“Did I recall wrong?” Xiaozhou scratched his head, “I don’t think so. You were clearly Li Sanchun…”

Ni Yang stepped in, trying to lighten the atmosphere, “Xiaozhou, you might’ve gotten it wrong. Let’s head that way. I’ve recently come up with a new dessert — want to give it a try?”

“Sure!” After hearing about the dessert, Li Yanran forgot all her discomfort.

“Peep.” Duoduo flew from the tree onto Ni Yang’s shoulder.

“Wow! This little bird is so well-behaved!” Li Yanran reached out to pet Duoduo’s head as she spoke.

Before Xiaozhou could caution Li Yanran against being pecked, Duoduo was already rubbing against Li Yanran’s hand, like a cat, purring happily.

This was strange indeed!

Could it be that this often troublesome bird has suddenly changed its nature?

Xiaozhou, obstinately unconvinced, reached out to pet Duoduo’s head.

“Peep!” Duoduo promptly snapped at him!

Xiaozhou: “…” Damn! The perverted bird!

“Well done!” Li Yanran praised, petting Duoduo’s head.

Duoduo comfortably closed its eyes.

Roused by Li Yanran’s praise, Duoduo launched yet another attack on Xiaozhou.

Xiaozhou whimpered, “Nose Drip Sister, what did I do to deserve this? Did you really need to help this bird bully me?”

Li Yanran turned to look at Xiaozhou, iterated emphatically, “Zhou Weijun, I am warning you! Don’t ever call me Nose Drip Sister again!”

Does he have a problem?!

She’s a grown woman now! Does he think she would tolerate being constantly called Nose Drip Sister?! Doesn’t she have any dignity left?!

“Why?” Xiaozhou scratched his head, “Aren’t nicknames meant to be used?”

Li Yanran was livid, “Call me Li Yanran, thank you!”

“But I remember you as Li Sanchun.”

“Zhou Weijun! You’re being really irritating!” Li Yanran glared at Xiaozhou furiously. She turned and stomped off, no longer acknowledging Xiaozhou.

“Nose Drip Sister! Nose Drip Sister!” Xiaozhou chased after Li Yanran’s steps, but she ignored him.

The saying about a woman’s heart being as deep as the sea rang true!

For no apparent reason, she had become angry?

Xiaozhou furrowed his eyebrows, not understanding, he moved next to Ni Yang and asked in a low voice, “Yangyang, what’s up with Nose Drip Sister?”

“She’s angry.” Ni Yang replied.

“Who has she taken offense with?” Xiaozhou was perplexed.

Ni Yang said, “She’s angry at you.”

Xiaozhou scratched his head, looking exasperated, “Angry at me? I didn’t provoke her, nor did I offend her! What is she getting angry about?”

Women are indeed quite strange!

Can’t afford to provoke, can’t afford to provoke!

This was truly a calamity not of his making.

Boys like Xiaozhou could best be described in modern terms as: steel-hardened straight males!

Ni Yang laughed, “All girls love to be beautiful, and you calling her Nose Drip Sister all the time, isn’t it natural that she gets angry?”

Xiaozhou sighed, “What’s there to be angry about! You girls…are just so strange…”

Ni Yang continued, “In any case, just stop calling Yanran, Nose Drip Sister, alright?”

“Fine. If you say so, I won’t call her that.”

As he finished speaking, Xiaozhou caught up with Li Yanran and continued, “I’m sorry, Nose Drip Sister. I promise not to call you that anymore.”

Li Yanran: “…” You can keep your hollow gratitude to yourself!

With a smile, Ni Yang led the two to the living room. “You two sit here. I will make the dessert.”

The dessert Ni Yang planned to make was Red Bean Taro Balls.

Taro Balls is a type of snack from Minnan (Southern Fujian Province).

It’s made from cassava starch.

Ni Yang took out three different colored balls of cassava starch from the fridge.

She kneaded the dough into a rectangular shape, cut it into small pieces, and boiled it. Then, she put the cooked taro balls into chilled red bean soup. She added sago and whole milk, then garnished the bowl with some mint leaves and lemon slices. A delicious and good looking bowl of Red Bean Taro Balls was ready to be served.
