13 Chapter 13: Travel Back to the Past_1

Situ Xin originally did not believe in the existence of gods or spirits in this world, but her views changed after she was reborn and obtained that Personal Space.

Lying on her little bed with her eyes open, Situ Xin thought about her own matters. "Come, Baby, it's time to put on new clothes." Situ Xin looked at her mother in this life, Loo Yaxin, who was holding a red cotton jacket and walking to the bedside. "Our Baby is a month old today." As she spoke, Loo Yaxin picked up Situ Xin, gently dressing her in the new red jacket. "Sister, this is the one Brother picked out for you. Isn't it pretty?" Today was Sunday, and Situ Jin finally had a day off to spend the entire day with his sister. Ever since Situ Xin was born, Situ Jin took a great liking to her, nothing like before when Situ Xin was still in her mother's belly, at which time he detested the mere mention of a sister or brother.

Only then did Situ Xin remember what day it was. And upon hearing Situ Jin's words, she flashed him a big smile. "Ah, Mom, Sister smiled at me, does she really like the clothes I chose for her?" Situ Jin asked happily. "Yes, our Baby really likes the clothes Brother picked out," Loo Yaxin said, looking at her son and daughter with a heart full of happiness.

"Yaxin, is the Baby dressed yet?" As soon as Loo Yaxin had finished dressing Situ Xin, they heard Old Master Situ's voice from outside. "Hmph. How can Grandpa be like this, always competing with me for Sister." Hearing Old Master Situ's words, Situ Jin grumbled, feeling frustrated, as it was because of his grandfather that his time with his sister had greatly decreased. Loo Yaxin laughed at the sight of her son's disgruntled expression, an expression that was rare to see as he had always maintained a mature demeanor previously. It was only after getting a sister that his expressions became more varied. "Dad, she's ready," said Loo Yaxin, herself amused by the way both her father-in-law and her father doted on her daughter. "You little one truly are the Princess of both families," remarked Loo Yaxin as she finished adjusting Situ Xin's clothes. Indeed, her daughter was not only beautiful but also remarkably well-behaved, which naturally made others want to tease her a bit.

When Loo Yaxin carried Situ Xin out of the room, Old Master Situ had already been waiting for a long time. "Oh, our Baby is finally out. Grandpa has waited a long time," Old Man Situ said as he took Situ Xin from Loo Yaxin's arms; he was becoming more and more natural in holding Situ Xin. "Wow, our Baby is wearing new clothes today, looking very pretty." Watching Situ Xin in Old Man Situ's arms, Situ Jin said, "Grandpa really, always snatching my sister." "What's wrong, I'm holding my granddaughter, do you have a problem with that?" Old Man Situ suddenly changed from his gentle demeanor to give Situ Jin a stern look. Held in Old Man Situ's embrace, Situ Xin felt somewhat helpless about the contention between the young and the old because of her. She knew her grandfather might look fierce, but he would not do anything excessive, yet she also knew that her brother was quite afraid of their grandfather. Seeing Situ Jin subconsciously shrink his neck, she knew it was his instinctive reaction out of fear of Old Man Situ. In her heart, Situ Xin sighed, "This brother of mine, if he's afraid of Grandpa, why does he still talk back every time?" Not wanting Elder Situ to scold her brother again, Situ Xin deliberately made a noise; she opened her mouth, "Oh, oh, ah." And sure enough, as soon as Old Man Situ heard the sounds from Situ Xin's mouth, his attention instantly shifted to her. "Our Baby wants to talk to Grandpa, oh," mesmerized by Situ Xin's "oh, oh, ah," Old Man Situ was no longer fixated on Situ Jin's recent backtalk. Meanwhile, Situ Jin looked longingly at his grandfather and sister interacting, wishing that he could be the one holding his sister and playing with her.

"Dad, I think it's about time to bring the Baby down," Loo Yaxin said, watching Old Master Situ playing with her daughter with great delight, and reminded him, "It's almost time. Let's go downstairs quickly, we can't miss the auspicious moment." Situ Xin hadn't expected that her family was quite traditional, even adhering to the concept of selecting an auspicious time for events.

As Situ Xin was being carried downstairs, she saw that her spacious living room was now filled with people. Situ Xin hadn't anticipated that so many would attend her full-month celebration, but after a moment's thought, it made sense, given the status of both the Situ Family and Loo Family, it was likely that guests were eager to attend. Indeed, Situ Xin was right; those in attendance were closely associated with the Situ and Loo families, and those with less significant connections probably weren't even in the families' interests to invite.

"Old Man Situ, how long does it take to carry a child down?" a vigorous voice suddenly grabbed all of Situ Xin's attention; just by the tone of the speaker, she was sure that this person had a close relationship with her grandfather. "Elder Yu, why are you shouting so loudly? If you startle my granddaughter, I'll have to settle the score with you," Old Master Situ said as he walked toward the source of the voice while holding Situ Xin.

Following the voice, Situ Xin saw an elderly man about her grandfather's age, and the old man's demeanor clearly conveyed the air of someone long accustomed to being in a high position. Of course, besides "Elder Yu" whom Old Master Situ had mentioned, there were three or four other old masters present. Even Situ Xin's maternal grandfather, Old Master Loo, was among them. Old Master Loo had been waiting for Old Master Situ for quite some time. Upon seeing Old Master Situ, he approached and said, "Baby, it's been so long since you've seen your grandpa; did you miss him? Come here, Baby, let grandpa hold you." Situ Xin felt a little impatient—hadn't she just seen him last night? How long could that have been? But Situ Xin still gave Old Master Loo face, sweetly smiling at him. That smile delighted Old Master Loo beyond measure. "Situ, you must be tired from holding the Baby; let me hold her for a while," said Old Master Loo, not minding Old Master Situ's expression, and directly took Situ Xin from Old Master Situ. Old Master Loo wasn't afraid of Old Master Situ snatching her back; he had calculated that with today's event, even if Old Master Situ was reluctant to let go, he wouldn't want to lose face by physically trying to take her back. Old Master Situ felt incredibly aggrieved—he hadn't held his granddaughter enough yet before Old Master Loo had snatched her away. On any other day, he would have protested, but considering the occasion, he had to swallow his frustration and could only watch Old Master Loo holding Situ Xin with a satisfied grin on his face.
