Chapter 28
Yu Jingxuan heard her calling and still walked over.
Lin Miao immediately rushed over. “Brother! You came to see me!”
Seeing her so happy, the frustration he felt when he thought she had forgotten about him after making good friends disappeared quite a bit.
“Mm, Da Huang and the others can’t eat their food at home,” Yu Jingxuan said with a bit of composure.
The few little girls were initially scared of Da Huang, but then they were completely charmed by the little fat puppies following Da Huang…
Then, they saw Yu Jingxuan.
Lin Miao hurriedly introduced them, “This is my brother, Yu Jingxuan.”
The little girls, a bit shy, introduced themselves.
Then, Lin Miao was pulled away by Yu Jingxuan.
Lin Miao didn’t mind at all. In fact, she pulled her brother along, with the three dogs following them behind.
“Brother, I haven’t eaten that pomelo you gave me yet. I saved it just for you!” Lin Miao said.
“What would I have done if I hadn’t come?” Yu Jingxuan remembered the phone call when he had talked to her.
“Uh...uh…” Lin Miao couldn’t think of anything.
Right now, they were living in the town, and the nice thing about living in the town was that there were fewer vehicles, and the buildings weren’t too high. There were basically no tall skyscrapers, and the greenery was abundant. The sunlight was very strong, and walking on the sidewalk gave the feeling that the whole space was bathed in golden light.
Lin Miao gave up thinking and just focused on the fact that her brother was here, she was seeing him again!
She couldn’t help walking backward to look at her brother, and as she looked, she couldn’t help but smile foolishly!
Her brother was here! She could eat sausages with him! And she could share the pomelo with him!
Lin Miao had great balance, and with no one else on the sidewalk, she wasn’t worried about walking backward. But still, Yu Jingxuan held her hand, worried she might fall.
Yu Jingxuan noticed that she was squinting with her eyes smiling, and she had been smiling the whole time. “You’re really this happy?”
Lin Miao nodded, her voice especially sweet. “I’m so happy my brother is here!”
Well, with those words, all of Yu Jingxuan’s unhappiness faded away.
The door at home was left open, so as Lin Miao pulled her brother in, with the three dogs following, her mother was startled when she saw them.
But she quickly recovered, poured tea, and said, “Have you eaten yet?”
“Mom, he hasn’t eaten yet.” Lin Miao didn’t really know, but she just wanted her brother to try their food.
Mother Lin said, “Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll make it.”
Yu Jingxuan hadn’t even had breakfast, let alone lunch, so he didn’t refuse and just said, “Thank you, Auntie. I’m not picky.”
At this point, Lin Miao had already gone to the kitchen.
Since they were at someone else’s house, the three dogs behaved quite well, sitting obediently to one side.
Mother Lin looked at the three dogs.
Yu Jingxuan said, “They’re not picky eaters either.”
Da Huang, who had once eaten raw sweet potatoes and gnawed on chestnuts: “Woof woof woof…”
Clearly, it was talking back.
Lin Miao came out of the kitchen with a plate of marinated chicken feet. Their family often had marinated cold dishes.
Marinated chicken feet were particularly something Lin Miao ate casually.
Lin Sen came out, glanced at Yu Jingxuan, awkwardly went back to his room.
Lin Miao pulled her brother to eat the chicken feet. “It’s really delicious.”
Yu Jingxuan didn’t want to eat at first, but still ate. Da Huang was so hungry, and the two little puppies were also salivating.
“You can’t eat this,” Yu Jingxuan said, eating chicken feet. He wasn’t sure if it was because he had never tasted this flavor before or because he was really hungry, but he thought it was delicious.
Lin Miao ate along with him and then remembered something. “Brother, who did you come with?”
“Da Huang,” Yu Jingxuan said.
Lin Miao blinked.
“Fei Fei, and Jia Jia,” Yu Jingxuan added.
Lin Miao, even though she was a bit slow, quickly realized. “Brother! You came alone!”
“With three dogs,” Yu Jingxuan said. “Mainly the dogs, this morning when I went to walk them, one of them ran out. I guessed it wanted to find you, so I brought them along…”
Lin Miao couldn’t help but ask, “…Brother, did you tell Auntie Yu?”
“I guess I did. I sent a text,” Yu Jingxuan thought the chicken feet were tasty.
Lin Miao looked at her brother’s calm expression and felt that her brother was really in trouble. He probably didn’t know that he would be in for a beating when he got home.
Once, her younger brother secretly ran to her grandmother’s house to play. Her grandmother lived in the next village, quite far away, and no one had realized he hadn’t told them. They spent an entire night looking for him…
That day, when her brother came back, he got a really harsh spanking.
Lin Miao quickly said, “Brother, you’d better apologize to Auntie Yu…” Or else your bottom is done for.
Yu Jingxuan remained calm, he wasn’t a regular little kid anymore, and he had three dogs with him. Going out for a while was nothing. He took out his phone, but realized it was turned off.
At this moment, Shui Shui’s father came back. Seeing the people in the living room, he quickly spoke to the person on the other end of the phone, saying, “He’s at my house, nothing’s happened.”
Then he went out to walk the dogs, and the person was gone.
Grandma received a message, “Da Huang seems upset, wants to find Shui Shui, I’m taking it there.”
Then he called, but the phone was off.
The Yu family began searching, but all they knew was which town Shui Shui lived in, they didn’t know the exact location.
Fortunately, Grandma remembered the master. So, the master contacted the village head, who had Shui Shui’s father’s number.
Finally, they got in touch.
They had just finished lunch.
Mother Yu and grandma arrived, and when they saw that Yu Jingxuan was fine, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Miao kept an eye on her brother, after all, if he really got a spanking, she’d be able to intervene.
She was very experienced at intervening.
Mother Yu looked at her son playing badminton with Shui Shui, laughing and full of energy, and sighed, thinking that Shui Shui was his first real friend, and they had even gone through a kidnapping case together.
Mother Yu went to the kitchen, where Shui Shui’s mom was washing dishes, and once again brought up that matter.
Mother Lin still refused. Her daughter had only just returned, and they were finally reunited as a family. No matter how tough it was, she could bear it. She wouldn’t send Shui Shui to someone else’s house.
Mother Yu sighed. Shui Shui wasn’t going to go to the city, and she couldn’t send her son here to study. She could only hope that when school started, Yu Jingxuan would make more friends to distract him.
Yu Jingxuan soon prepared to leave with the dogs. Of course, Lin Miao was going to send him off.
“Brother, I’ll miss you. When my dad has some free time, I’ll come visit you.”
