75. His Warm Side

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Probably having stayed in kindergarten for too long, the kid was a little impatient. So when Ling Fan and Chu Xiao came, before the teacher went into to call him…

Not too far away…well, that little bun had already ran out.

Then, like afraid that no one could take him away, he ran towards Ling Fan.

After running a few steps, he suddenly saw Chu Xiao next to Ling Fan. Lei Lei’s face showed a happier and more excited expression.

Then…

He turned his direction and ran before Chu Xiao.

Lei Lei raised his head and stared at Chu Xiao with his eyes shining.

“Pretty uncle!”

Well, when Ling Fan realized what he was saying and tried to cover his mouth, it was already too late…

Seemed like… Chu Xiao didn’t like people describe him using words like beautiful or pretty, right? Now, she could only hope that Chu Xiao would ignore Lei Lei’s presence…

Wait! It was only that last time he saw a picture of Chu Xiao at his place, plus an encounter that shouldn’t be called an encounter, why did the little thing behave liked they were familiar with each other…

And ‘Pretty Uncle’?

Uh…

Ling Fan subconsciously glanced at Chu Xiao’s face.

What surprised him was that apart from the initial shock and then a light frown, Chu Xiao didn’t wear any expression like anger or annoyance.

“Is this your little cousin?” Chu Xiao looked at Ling Fan and asked.

“Hmm…”

“Hmm, I’m his younger brother. My name is Lei Lei. Beautiful uncle, you call me Little Lei!” Before Ling Fan could speak, Lei Lei had already prepared a formal self-introduction in front of Chu Xiao.

“I’m very obedient. I won’t run around, I won’t find trouble, I don’t like crying, I won’t leave with strangers, and I also know how to do housework…” Lei Lei said to Chu Xiao with starry eyes. As he spoke, he nodded for himself like a little adult.

Wait! Why does this scene…look so funny?

Especially when he heard Lei Lei’s last sentence, Ling Fan couldn’t help having a twitch of the corner of his mouth.

It was impossible that he had learned it in school. Then, it should have been taught by the headmistress from his welfare home.

Children in welfare homes who wanted to get the love of their new family and not be sent back would learn to say these words.

How much did Lei Lei like Chu Xiao and hoped that Chu Xiao would like him too, so he would say those?

However, when Lei Lei saw Chu Xiao, a theoretical stranger, hadn’t he performed way too happy? Even happier than when he bought him a whole set of Ultraman toys last time.

Hmm, Lei Lei was very happy now.

Because he saw his pretty uncle and talked to him!

And…and…

“Pretty uncle, are you also here to pick me up?” Lei Lei asked with an anticipating expression.

“Uh, yeah,” kind of…

Hearing Chu Xiao’s answer, Lei Lei’s expression grew even happier.

Great, pretty uncle was really here to pick him up. He got to tell it to Tiantian!

Pity that he was not here now…

In the past few days, there were always a few annoying uncles staying by his side every day. So Tiantian couldn’t play with him, or take noon nap with him…

Thinking of this, Lei Lei’s little face suddenly started to wrinkle.

“Why call me ‘pretty uncle’?” Seeing Lei Lei’s depressed expression, Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and changed the topic.

Perhaps it was because this child in front of him was very cute, or perhaps it was because he was Ling Fan’s cousin, anyway, Chu Xiao didn’t find him annoyed or what.

Kids are kids. Their focus would change easily.

Hearing Chu Xiao’s question, Lei Lei instantly forgot about his previous sadness, gave an embarrassed smile and said, “Because you are pretty, so you are pretty uncle.”

Before, the headmistress had said that the other side would feel happy if you said he/she is pretty.

“Pretty uncle, you’re my cousin’s…hmm…”

This time, Ling Fan was fast enough to pick Lei Lei up and covered his mouth.

Needless to guess, he knew what the little bun was going to say next.

Are you my cousin’s wife…

Even though he didn’t know how this little bun had developed this kind of understanding in his mind, he knew that if Chu Xiao heard this, he’d be so dead…

However, Chu Xiao had no idea about this.

Seeing Lei Lei fluttering in Ling Fan’s hands, Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Fan in surprise.

“Ahem, it’s nothing. We don’t know how long it will take if he keeps jibber jabbing like this. Let’s go home first,” Ling Fan coughed dryly and let Lei Lei take the blame.

“Hmm, let’s go,” Chu Xiao nodded and said.

It was indeed getting late. The drug attack had been much earlier. If he went back late, it would be a big trouble.

Chu Xiao thought about it seriously in his heart, but looking at the two in front of him, Chu Xiao’s mouth curved unconsciously.

“Hmm…” Watching Chu Xiao leave, Lei Lei fluttered even harder in Ling Fan’s hands, with his legs like a spring.

“Be good, and I’ll let you down. Also, if you can guarantee that you can keep your mouth shut, I’ll buy you a whole bucket of star balls,” Ling Fan threatened.

It was not good for children to eat too much. However, it was not bad as long as he could let the little thing not talk nonsense for the time being. Then, he could think of a way to turn a bucket into one…

Sure enough, the charm of the star balls was great. Hearing Ling Fan’s words, Lei Lei immediately calmed down and nodded obediently.Read More at wuxiax.com

Seeing this, Ling Fan smiled with satisfaction and put Lei Lei down.

As soon as he landed on the ground, Lei Lei immediately ran forward and caught up with Chu Xiao, then walked by his side.

Looking down at Lei Lei who was following gingerly, Chu Xiao smiled and slowed down.

But in his heart, he wondered if Ling Fan would have been like this when he was young.

And Ling Fan followed behind the two of them.

He looked at the harmonious scene in front of him, then at the little bag in his hand.

Why did he feel a little…bitter?

Back then, he had taken Lei Lei out of the orphanage, registered his residence, and sent him to the kindergarten. He had never seen this little thing so sticking to him. But now, after seeing Chu Xiao, he directly ditched his own cousin and followed him behind!

Could it be that in this world even a kiddo would judge a person by his looks?

Ling Fan complained in his heart.

As for the truth…

Chu Xiao was so good-looking. Of course, Lei Lei liked him very much. However, there was one more thing–his cousin’s wife was so pretty, he wanted to help his cousin watch him. He couldn’t let the pretty uncle ditch his cousin or him…

Otherwise, his cousin wouldn’t have a wife anymore. And he wouldn’t be able to see his cousin’s pretty wife every day…

Therefore, when walking next to Chu Xiao, Lei Lei felt like he was a little guard.

However, Ling Fan probably would never know about Lei Lei’s ‘good intention’.

Looking at the two figures in front of him, a smile spread across Ling Fan’s face.

Unlike the previous fake smile, vile smile, or smirk, this time it was hearty and sincere.

Last time, he was the one who walked behind, following Lei Wu and Lei Lei the father and son.

Looking at the interaction between the father and son, he suddenly felt very warm.

As for himself, there was only loneliness and envy…

But this time, it seemed different.

Even though he was still following behind, he did not think he was an outsider…

That kind of warm and simple satisfaction was a luxury for someone like Ling Fan who had nothing.

So, could he have it too?

Subconsciously, Ling Fan touched the location of his heart.

He was very contented…

At this moment, Chu Xiao, who was a few steps ahead, saw that Ling Fan had not followed up, so he stopped and turned to look back.

Then he saw Ling Fan was walking behind with a silly smile.

That’s right, the smile on Ling Fan’s face was like a silly smile to Chu Xiao.

Hmm… an annoying silly smile.

“You are walking too slowly,” said Chu Xiao as he looked at Ling Fan with disgust, but he was actually waiting for him.

Hearing that, Ling Fan smiled and paced up.

“The shopping mall we passed by just now. Is there any children’s clothes?” asked Chu Xiao suddenly.

Then, he looked at Lei Lei sympathetically, who was using his clothes to write “I’m a little richie!”

The clothes that Ling Fan bought for Lei Lei were indeed very expensive, but there was no need for him to make the rich atmosphere so strong. Luckily, this little bun was pretty cute, or else it would be really…

Once again, Chu Xiao questioned about Ling Fan’s identity.

“Ahem, yeah,” Ling Fan coughed dryly. Looking at Chu Xiao’s eyes, he knew what Chu Xiao was thinking.

Cough, cough. In his previous life and in this life, he was just an ordinary person. He really did not know much about these high-end tastes. Therefore, in order to support Lei Lei’s face, the clothes he bought were basically the most expensive.

To be honest, he really didn’t pay too much attention to the matching problems…

Now that he looked so closely, it seemed like the little thing looked way too tacky.

“Let’s go and buy Lei Lei some normal clothes, I mean, those pleasing to the eyes.” Chu Xiao said.

Anyway, if Ling Fan was Fan Ming, then the last thing he lacked of was money. And he didn’t have to think about saving money for this bastard.
