Chapter 68

Dong dong dong

The sound of knocking on the door.

"Xiaoyu, can you go open the door?"

Mom's voice came from the kitchen.

"Oh."

She replied and got up from the sofa, put on her slippers, and walked towards the door.

Opened the door.

"Uncle Er?"

She was taken aback for a moment.

"Oh, it's Xiaoyu. Is your mom home?"

This middle-aged man who looked somewhat steady is mom's younger brother, their second uncle.

In her impression, he rarely visits their home.

"Uncle Second is here? Come in and have a seat!"

Mom heard the sound and walked out of the kitchen.

"Sister, I won't sit. I came here this time to trouble you for something~"

He said, turning back.

"Wanwan, come here."

When they looked behind him, they found a little tail still following.

It was Second Uncle's daughter, Wanwan, who is only 8 years old with cute pigtails, big eyes, and she was looking at them.

"Do you know what you should call her?"

"Auntie, Big Sister Xiaoyu!"

Wanwan smiled, showing her slightly gapped front teeth.

"Oh, Wanwan is so well-behaved and sensible~"

Mom happily pinched her small cheek with her hand.

"Sister, here is the thing. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, and my child's mother is going to work overtime these two days. Isn't there no one at home..."

"Hey, what am I here for!"

Mom waved her hand.

"No problem! You and your spouse can go ahead and be busy. Wanwan can stay with us, problem solved~"

"Haha, that's what I mean~"

Second uncle said, turning back again.

"Wanwan, you listen to Auntie, understand?"

"Yes!"

She nodded.

"Well then... Sister, I'll be going."

"Alright, rest assured. I guarantee Wanwan will be well-fed at our home!"

Mom patted her chest and assured him.

Among the children in the second uncle's family, this daughter is the most well-behaved and sweet-talking one. Mom has always liked her.

...

After Second Uncle left.

"Wanwan, play with your big sister for a while. I'll make your favorite cola chicken wings, okay?"

"Okay~"

"Xiaoyu, play with your little sister for a while. I'll be back soon~"

"Oh."

Mom said and went out. It seems that the lunch menu will have to be adjusted temporarily...

Wanwan turned around and looked at Raina Nan.

There were only the two of them in the room.

"..."

She scratched her cheek and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while.

"Sister!"

"Huh?"

"Xiaoyu big sister!"

"Ah..."

Being called like that, she inexplicably felt a bit embarrassed, and unconsciously looked to the side.

To be honest, she's not very good at dealing with children, maybe it's because she has always been the youngest one at home, and now suddenly there's someone even younger, giving her a sense of confusion.

"Well, um..."

She hesitated and thought about how to coax the child.

"Does Wanwan want to play something?"

"I do!"

Wanwan raised her hand high.

"Water gun! I want to play with water gun!"

"Water, water gun?"

She was taken aback for a moment.

"Do we not have one?"

Wanwan looked at her with watery eyes, feeling a bit disappointed.

"Oh~ Water, water gun, if Wanwan wants to play, I can go buy one!"

She hurriedly coaxed, in fact, she didn't know where to buy one. Stationery store? Probably...

"Forget it, dad said not to spend someone else's money casually..."

Although she said that, her disappointment was still written on her face.

"Oh, I remember!"

She seemed to suddenly remember something and clapped her hands.

"Do you want to watch cartoons?"

"Oh yes, what cartoon?"

Indeed, children, there's no one who doesn't like to watch cartoons.

"Pokémon~"

There were still a few Pokémon DVDs she bought when she was a child under the TV cabinet. She was glad that she hadn't thrown them away.

"Pokémon? What is that?""Oh? You don't know about it? Like Pikachu and stuff."

"No Pleasant Goat?",

"......"

She paused for a moment.

"No."

"In that case, let's not watch it..."

Disappointment appeared on her face again.

"......"

"Um, do you have anything else you want to play?"

"Well... do you have a game console?"

She said, mimicking holding a game controller with both hands.

"Oh? A game console? Yes, we do!"

Slapping her forehead, oh right, how did I forget about that?

"Really?"

Wanwan's low spirits seemed to rise again.

"Yeah, wait for me, I'll go find it~"

Raina Nan said, and ran into Samson Nan's room to search for it.

Finally, she found the somewhat dated XingBao game console under the bed.

She wiped off the thick dust on top with a towel, hoping it wasn't broken...

"Wanwan, I found it~"

She hugged the game console and ran excitedly to the living room.

"Mario, Contra, which one should we play first?"

"Um~ not the PS4...?"

"PS4...?"

"Yeah, the one you can play Dynasty Warriors on."

What's Dynasty Warriors...?

She couldn't keep up with Wanwan's rhythm.

"What about this... don't you want to play it?"

"Not fun."

"Um~..."

Kids these days are impressive...

What should I do? Is it really this difficult to get along with children?

"Sister, is there really nothing fun?"

"I... I'll think again..."

"Oh~ I often hear Dad talk about it"

Wanwan lay on the sofa, bored, swinging her little feet.

"Xiao Raina is very smart, very good at studying, I want to learn from her..."

She dragged her chin and said.

"But... it's not fun at all~"

"Um... Haha..."

Her eyebrows trembled slightly as she struggled to squeeze out a forced smile.

Innocence, innocence... being serious means losing...

"Where's Samson Nan? Is he not at home?"

"Huh?"

One sentence from Wanwan woke her up.

"Wait a moment."

She jogged and rushed to the entrance, picking up the phone.

Dialing the number.

Beep...

Beep...

Beep...

The phone kept ringing, but no one answered for a while.

"Stupid, answer the phone..."

She held the receiver, stomping her feet anxiously.

"Hello?"

Just as she was about to hang up, a somewhat lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother?"

"Yuyu...?"

"Are you still asleep?"

"What's up?"

He yawned. On weekends, if there was nothing to do, he would usually sleep until noon.

"Can you come to our house?"

"Huh?"

He paused for a moment.

"Miss me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! There's something..."

She said in a low voice, her fingers coiling the phone cord over and over again.

"Heh~ in trouble?"

In the phone, one could faintly hear his mischievous laughter.

"Come on, call me 'brother' first."

"Huh?"

"Otherwise, I'll go to bed~"

"......"

"Little one?"

"You go on sleeping, bye."

She said, hanging up the phone.

She was in a hurry, but he didn't take it seriously at all...

Stupid, what's there to be proud of?

Thinking about it made her angry...

...

Forget it, I can only wait for Mom to come back.

Before that, let's watch some TV first...

...

"Sister."

Wanwan lay on the sofa, yawning and rubbing her eyes, calling out to her.

"Do we have any juice?"

"No, how about milk?"

She also sat curled up on the sofa, chin on her knees, constantly changing TV channels with the remote control.

"No."

"......"

The two of them were just saying unrelated things out of boredom..."Sister."

"Hmm?"

"Let's play an idiom chain game."

"Sure."

"Deceive the enemy by crossing the sea, sea."

"The sea under the moon."

"The moon is dark, the wind is high."

"Sleep soundly without worries."

"..."

Wanwan paused for a moment.

"I'm so hungry."

Are we done playing already...

"Auntie will be back soon."

"Oh..."

...

Another moment of silence.

...

"Sister."

"Hmm?"

"Will you marry my brother?"

"Huh...?!"

She suddenly snapped out of it, straightening up and looking at her in surprise.

"Would I?"

Wanwan crawled on the sofa and leaned towards her, tilting her head to look at her.

"How, how is that possible... who told you that?"

She suddenly panicked.

"Samson Nan, my brother."

"He must have lied to you..."

What on earth did that idiot say to Wanwan...

"Oh~ really?"

"Then, does sister want to marry him?"

"Huh?!"

An unexpected situation made her a bit at a loss, her gaze drifting away.

Stare............

...

Today's elementary school students are really something...

"Say, what were you two talking about?"

A voice came from behind.

She turned around.

"Brother?!"

"Samson Nan, brother!"

Wanwan jumped up from the sofa at the sight of him and pounced into his arms.

"Oh~ Wanwan has gotten heavier!"

He smiled and lifted Wanwan high in the air.

"What were you talking to sister about just now?"

"I asked sister if she wants to..."

"We were playing an idiom chain game!"

Raina Nan interrupted what she was about to say.

"No, I was asking sister..."

"It was an idiom chain game!"

Her face turned red.

"Sister is so mean..."

Wanwan seemed a little scared, clutching Samson Nan's clothes.

"Sister, there are a few days every month when her body doesn't feel well, we have to be considerate of her, you know?"

"Oh..."

Samson Nan whispered softly into Wanwan's ear.

"We've heard it all, you dummy!"

She picked up a cushion from the couch and threw it at him.

"See, it's happening again!"

He laughed and caught the cushion.

"Samson Nan, what game are we playing?"

Wanwan looked at him expectantly.

Samson Nan was the oldest child in the family and had always taken this group of siblings around when they were young. In her impression, he always came up with interesting and twisted ideas.

"Let's go to the swimming pool later, how about that?"

"Okay! Wanwan loves swimming the most!"

Although she couldn't swim, the swimming pool was definitely her first choice when it came to summer.

"Sister Yuyu, are you coming too?"

"Huh? Me..."

She hesitated for a moment.

"What a pity~ Sister Yuyu isn't feeling well these days, so only the two of us can go~"

Samson Nan sighed and glanced at her.

"I, I want to go..."

After much hesitation, she finally said so.

"Wow~ Wanwan, look, Sister Yuyu is great, even when she doesn't feel well she still wants to accompany us~"

"Sister Yuyu is great!"

"..."

She blushed and clenched her teeth.

I really want to find a hole to bury myself in...
