Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Even Cuter Than the Children on New Year Prints

After midnight, Yu Nuannuan was officially one year old.

Xu Shuhua specially went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of longevity noodles. Of course, Yu Nuannuan didn’t have to finish the whole thing—she just needed to eat a few strands of noodles and drink a bit of the broth, just for the good luck.

As for the rest, everyone in the family took a bite, and soon the bowl was empty. That was how they all celebrated Yu Nuannuan’s birthday together.

Once the little celebration was over, it was time to go back to bed.

Yu Nuannuan was already exhausted. The moment she touched the bed, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Outside, the sound of firecrackers continued, but it couldn’t wake Yu Nuannuan from her dreams.

She slept for a long time. By the time she woke up, daylight was already streaming in through the window.

She was just about to sit up when she turned her head—and saw Gu Mo.

Today, Gu Mo was dressed in a bright red padded jacket. With his fair, chubby cheeks and delicate features, he looked even cuter than the children on New Year prints.

Yu Nuannuan stared at Gu Mo, momentarily dazed.

“So...pretty!”

It wasn’t until she heard her own voice that Yu Nuannuan snapped out of it.

She hadn’t meant to say that out loud!

Gu Mo had been watching her the whole time. When he heard what she said, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the corners of his mouth lifted in a barely noticeable smile.

Chen Qiaoqin and Qin Yuelan, who were chatting at the table, also heard Yu Nuannuan’s voice. They both got up and walked over.

“Nuannuan’s awake? Are you hungry?” Chen Qiaoqin asked, her hands already busy. She picked up the new clothes set aside and started dressing Yu Nuannuan.

Once she was dressed, Yu Nuannuan realized she was also wearing a bright red outfit.

Although the style was a little different from Gu Mo’s, at a glance, both of them looked festive and vibrant.

Yu Nuannuan looked at Gu Mo and suddenly felt like she was looking in a mirror.

Was this what she looked like now?

The two of them stared at each other, and the scene made Chen Qiaoqin and Qin Yuelan burst out laughing.

“Look at these two—they’re both eyeing each other’s clothes!”

Yu Nuannuan and Gu Mo shook their heads at the same time. “No, we’re not!”

This time, Chen Qiaoqin and Qin Yuelan were the ones left speechless.

Yu Nuannuan blinked at Gu Mo. What was that about?

Could it be they were on the same wavelength?

Just then, Xu Shuhua pushed open the door and saw the four of them standing there in silence. She found it odd. “What’s going on here? Why are you all just staring at each other? Nuannuan’s awake? Are you hungry? Grandma’s made your breakfast! I’ll bring it over right now!”

Everyone else in the Yu family had already eaten. It was just that Yu Nuannuan had gotten up so late, so she hadn’t eaten yet.

On the morning of the first day of the New Year, they usually had dumplings. Now that Yu Nuannuan had eight teeth, eating dumplings was no problem for her, so her breakfast was a small bowl of dumplings.

These dumplings were made especially for her—each one small and delicate, just the right size for her to eat in one bite.

After all, she was only one year old. How big could her mouth be?

If she could eat a whole dumpling in one bite, they must be tiny indeed.

These dumplings were made by Xu Shuhua and Chen Qiaoqin, along with their sisters-in-law. Each one had a thin wrapper and was stuffed full of filling.

Yu Nuannuan thought these were the most delicious dumplings in the world!

Xu Shuhua brought in two small bowls—one with more dumplings, one with fewer.

She handed the smaller bowl to Qin Yuelan. “I know you’ve all already had breakfast, but kids get hungry quickly. There aren’t many in here—let Daibao have them. The two of them can eat together; it’ll taste even better that way!”"
