Elder Yun immediately huffed angrily, "I knew you weren't really trying to thank me, girl. See? The moment I said you should become my disciple, you fell silent!"

Feng Zhiyi smiled and touched the tip of her nose, without replying.

Looking at her bright smile, Old Yun's blood pressure rose uncontrollably. This girl is really a stubborn mule!

Still furious, he glared at Feng Zhiyi again, put his hands behind his back, and got into the car.

Lu Lingxiao secretly exchanged a glance with his wife, smiled at each other, and then got into the driver's seat to drive Elder Yun and Jun Zeyi back to school.

"Aunt, I'll come to see you again when you and uncle come back!" Jun Zeyi looked at Feng Zhiyi outside the car, waved at her, and a faint smile appeared on his calm and handsome little face.

Feng Zhiyi immediately replied with a smile, "Okay, you're welcome to come over anytime."

"Well, I'm leaving then."

Feng Zhiyi nodded, her smile gentle.

Jun Zeyi turned his head to look at Feng Zhiyi outside the car window, and only reluctantly turned his gaze away when the car gradually drove away.

Today, he met two younger brothers and a younger sister at the Lu family's old house. He likes his younger brothers and sisters very much, and he also likes his aunt very much.

His aunt was exceptionally gentle and beautiful, especially when she touched his head and talked to him. That feeling was the feeling of his mother that he had imagined countless times in his heart—warm, yet somewhat unfamiliar.

His parents died in a fire when he was less than a year old, so to this day he doesn't know what his parents' embrace felt like, whether it was warm, or whether it was full of love and tenderness...

Lu Lingxiao noticed the dimness in Jun Zeyi's eyes along the way. After he dropped off Elder Yun at Peking University, he spoke to Jun Zeyi on the way to the affiliated primary school of Peking University.

"I like your aunt. When winter vacation comes, I'll have Ye Yanjun bring you to Jincheng for a short stay, and then you can come back to the capital for the New Year at the end of the year."

"Can't you just stay in Jincheng for the New Year and then come back?" Jun Zeyi's eyes lit up, but then he pouted, his tone a little aggrieved.

He was still just a child, and Lu Lingxiao was his most relied-upon uncle, so Jun Zeyi didn't bother to hide his true feelings at all, and his unhappiness was written all over his face.

Lu Lingxiao said, "If you stay in Jincheng for the New Year, what about the old man? If you don't come back to keep him company, he'll be spending the New Year alone at home."

When Jun Zeyi heard his uncle say this, he immediately had an idea, "I can go with Great-grandfather! There's not much to do during the Chinese New Year anyway, and Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Xie are here. Great-grandfather is just going to Jincheng to celebrate the New Year, so there will be no problem."

Lu Lingxiao, "..."

Should he say that this kid's mind works really fast? Or should he say that Jun Zeyi's idea is too naive?

After all, getting the top leader of Country Z to leave Beijing for another city for the New Year is no small matter. How many people would be needed to protect the old leader's safety?

In fact, Jun Zeyi shouldn't be able to leave the capital so easily, because his identity is too special. If he encounters danger on his way to Jincheng, it will be troublesome.

But thinking about the fact that Ze Yi had been alone since he was a child, and seldom played with other children except for two regular playmates, and that his old leader was usually busy with official duties and had little time to spend with him, Lu Lingxiao suggested that he go to Jincheng for a while after the holiday.

Unexpectedly, this kid actually wanted to stay in Jincheng for the New Year, and even wanted the old man to come along.

"As long as you can persuade the old man and ensure his safety, then I have no objection." Lu Lingxiao smiled slightly and threw Jun Zeyi another difficult problem.

unexpectedly--

Jun Zeyi instantly came up with a new idea.

He turned his gaze to Lu Lingxiao, who was driving, his bright and piercing eyes fixed on his uncle. He smiled and said, "Uncle, you said it yourself, right? I'll take care of talking to Great-Grandpa. The rest of the safety issues are up to you!"

Lu Lingxiao, “…”

His hands suddenly slipped, but he quickly regained his grip on the steering wheel. If it weren't for the car's advanced features and his quick reflexes, he probably would have already made intimate contact with the tree in front of him.

Good lad!

They actually learned to dig a pit for him to fall into.

Lu Lingxiao didn't speak, but his silent expression was a tacit acceptance of Jun Zeyi's suggestion.

Jun Zeyi couldn't help but smile, his little scheme having succeeded. He was so happy that when he arrived at the school, he happily opened the car door, got out, and waved goodbye to Lu Lingxiao with a beaming smile.

Goodbye, Uncle!

"Go to school properly, do you hear me?"

"I heard you!"

Jun Zeyi nodded and waved, then walked into the campus with a smile.

"This kid is getting harder to fool as he gets older." Lu Lingxiao shook his head, but his long, narrow phoenix eyes were filled with a doting smile.

He glanced at Jun Zeyi one last time as he walked away, then drove back to the Lu family's old residence.

......

The next afternoon.

After having lunch at home, Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao loaded their luggage into the car and prepared to head to the airport.

Before leaving, Lu's mother once again instructed her son, "You brat, I'm entrusting my Zhiyi to you. You must take good care of her, understand? If you dare to let Zhiyi get hurt, when you come back, I'll definitely smash your legs with a rice crust spatula!"
