Shangguan Yun didn’t speak, just looked intently at little Jingkong.
She reached out, gently touching little Jingkong’s cheek.
Gu Jiao: What’s happening?
Xiao Hen: I’m not sure.
After exchanging glances, the couple continued watching Shangguan Yun’s reaction.
Little Jingkong was also bewildered. Why was this pretty auntie touching him as soon as she arrived?
Shangguan Yun opened her mouth and asked softly, "What’s your name?"
"Jingkong," little Jingkong repeated his name.
Shangguan Yun continued, "How old are you?"
Little Jingkong puffed out his chest. "Eight years old!"
Xiao Hen’s mouth twitched. You’ve just added three more years?
Do you know you only look like you’re four? No one would believe such a tale, okay?
"Jingkong," Gu Jiao said, looking at little Jingkong.
Little Jingkong spread his hands: "Okay, okay, I’m five and a half."
Xiao Hen: You’re including half a year too?
"You..." Shangguan Yun started to say something, then stopped and smiled, saying, "You really are cute."
Little Jingkong, beaming, replied, "You’re very beautiful too!"
The two had a round of mutual flattery, and afterwards, the family began to eat.
Little Jingkong was too short, and National Master Hall didn’t have a special little stool for him, so Xiao Hen specifically found a high chair for him to sit on.
Little Jingkong sat opposite Shangguan Yun, while Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen sat across from each other.
While eating, Shangguan Yun occasionally glanced at little Jingkong, as if she really enjoyed watching him.
Feeling the kindness from Shangguan Yun, little Jingkong was also very willing to be close to her.
He even generously shared his vegetarian sweet dumplings with Shangguan Yun.
After supper, he took Gu Jiao to the courtyard to catch fireflies.
Xiao Hen and Shangguan Yun stayed in the room, watching through the window as the two played.
Xiao Hen voiced his curiosity, "You seem very interested in Jingkong."
Sitting in an official hat chair, Shangguan Yun watched little Jingkong laugh uproariously and said, "Not really, he just reminds me of someone."
Xiao Hen paused, then asked, "Who?"
Shangguan Yun answered, "Your cousin." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
