Chapter 29: The First Video

"What does 'little koi' mean?" Little Su Hua, holding her aunt's hand, looked up with curious eyes.

"It means you can bring your aunt good luck."

"Then I will bring Auntie good luck every single day!"

Little Su Luo, not wanting to be outdone, chimed in, "Auntie, me too!"

System: [That is impossible for you. You are destined to be a great villain in the future; you will only bring disaster.]

Hearing the system's words, little Su Luo’s mouth drooped, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes. The system realized it had said the wrong thing again. Oh, it and its sharp tongue!

[Little one, I was only joking. Don't take it to heart.]

However, it still couldn't soothe its little host. Su Xingwan noticed Su Luo's sudden shift in mood and scooped him up into her arms.

"What's wrong, Luo Bao?"

Su Luo said gloomily, "Auntie, I don't want to be a 'Trouble-Maker'."

Su Xingwan was puzzled. "A 'Trouble-Maker'?"

Su Luo sniffled and nodded. "Yes, the Trouble-Maker will bring disaster to me."

Although Su Xingwan didn't quite understand what he meant, she comforted him anyway: "Luo Bao will never be a disaster. Luo Bao is Auntie’s baby, and you will only ever be a little ray of sunshine."

Hearing his aunt's words, Su Luo’s mood seemed to brighten significantly.

"Auntie, can I really be a ray of sunshine?"

"Of course you can," Su Xingwan smiled.

Little Su Luo pouted. "But I want to be like my sister, to be Auntie’s little koi."

Su Xingwan realized that was the reason the little guy had been upset. She pinched his cheek with a smile. "Of course you can be. You and Hua Bao are both Auntie’s little koi."

Hearing this, Su Luo smiled happily. "I’m Auntie’s little koi too."

"That’s right, you are."

"The little koi is going to find Big Brother right away!" Su Luo giggled.

Su Xingwan laughed. "Yes, we will find Big Brother together very soon."

"Big Brother is Auntie’s little koi too!"

At this moment, little Su Luo was like a broken record. Su Xingwan played along. "Yes, Big Brother is Auntie’s little koi too."

"Yay!" Little Su Luo was so happy he felt like he could fly.

Little Su Hua, not wanting to be left out, hugged her aunt's leg. "Auntie, I want a hug too!"

Su Xingwan chuckled, "Alright, alright." Although it was a bit of a struggle to hold both of them at once, she couldn't refuse their requests.

The system watched as its little host was instantly cheered up by his aunt, and it felt a strange pang of jealousy. Nothing it said ever worked, but whatever his aunt said was golden. The system felt useless; it sighed, feeling a bit melancholy.

On the way back, a low-key, black luxury car appeared on the road. A tall, slender young man in a suit stepped out and happened to walk in the opposite direction of Su Xingwan and the children. Even though it was just his back, the system recognized him as the triplets' uncle.

It couldn't help but shriek in excitement: [Uncle! It's Uncle! Little one, your handsome and charming uncle has appeared! Hurry up and go say hello to him!]

Hearing the system making a racket in his head again, little Su Luo frowned. He had his aunt now; he didn't need any uncle. He couldn't be bothered to respond to the system, and when no one paid it any mind, the system slowly wilted on its own.

As soon as the two little ones returned home, they couldn't wait to take out their newly bought toys. Su Xingwan also took out the gadgets she had bought for herself—a small device for shooting videos and a phone stand. She set the phone stand up next to the sofa in the living room and hung the small recording device around her neck.

The two little ones looked up curiously at the black, ring-like object around their aunt’s neck. They asked, "Auntie, what is that thing you bought? Is it a toy, too?"

Su Xingwan explained, "This is a camera. Auntie uses it specifically to film videos."

"Oh, I see." Though they didn't quite understand.

Once she had everything set up, Su Xingwan called out to them, "Babies, take off your cotton-padded jackets; let's put on the new ones."

"Okay!"

They obediently walked over and took off their jackets, and their aunt immediately helped them into their new ones.

"Big Brother, we're both wearing little pink princess jackets!"

With two little tufts of hair sticking up on their heads, the two children were so happy with their new clothes that they bounced back and forth in the living room. Su Xingwan looked at Su Luo, who was dressed in the same pink outfit as Hua Bao, and fell into deep thought. However, she didn't dwell on it and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the two little ones.

Afterward, the two sat on the carpet in the warm living room, with a row of shiny little toys laid out before them. Su Hua turned her head and looked over. "Big Brother, you bought a fairy wand too?"

Little Su Luo smiled. "It's pretty!"

"Let's see whose fairy wand is prettier," Su Hua said, leaning in.

"Let's compare," he said, his competitive spirit piqued.

The system rolled its eyes: [They are exactly the same! What is there to compare!]

The two children put their identical wands together, looked left and right, and then scratched their heads.

"Sister, ours seem to be the same."

Su Hua said, "Mine looks a bit bigger."

Su Luo said, "Mine is bigger."

System: [...]

The siblings didn't argue for long before Su Hua stood up with her fairy wand and spun around in a circle. She muttered a spell that no one could understand and pointed the wand at her brother. "Change, change, change!"

"Big Brother, I’ll play the pink fairy, you play the blue fairy, okay?"

Su Luo scratched his head. "But then I have to be the sister."

Su Hua replied, "But there are only pretty girls in the fairy stories."

"Alright then, I guess I have to be the sister."

Then, Su Hua chased her brother around, calling out "Sister, Sister." The system couldn't bear to watch. Coupled with his pink cotton-padded jacket, it wondered if he would feel embarrassed when he grew up and looked back on this scene.

Su Xingwan, busy in the kitchen, turned to look. She thought to herself, *Luo Bao, my dear, you are a boy, after all.*

The two children were having a wonderful time playing in the living room with their fairy wands. Listening to them, Su Xingwan couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness.

That night, Su Xingwan uploaded the cooking vlog she had filmed to her newly created video account. After several hours, there were only a few hundred views. Su Xingwan knew this would take time, so she wasn't in a hurry.

The two little ones lay beside their aunt, their big eyes watching her navigate the account.

"Auntie, are you filming a video?"

"Yes, I am." Su Xingwan opened the edited video and showed it to them. The people in the video didn't show their faces, and viewers could only tell there were three people. She used to make videos featuring only herself, but now that the two children were included, a strange, warm feeling surfaced in her heart.

After watching the published video, she clicked on another unpublished one, which captured the scene of the two children playing with their fairy wands in the living room earlier that day.
