Wen Ying's appearance is no longer the same as the thin, scarred little girl she was in the apocalypse.
At this moment, she was beautiful and lovely, with rosy cheeks, but she seemed a little shy, burying her face in her mother's neck.
Only a pair of timid eyes were visible as she curiously observed the group of handsome but seemingly agitated "unfamiliar" uncles and aunts in front of her.
With her mother's continued encouragement, she spoke in a childish voice, "Hello, Auntie... Hello, Uncle..."
The soft, sweet voice of a child instantly touched everyone's heart.
The responses from the crowd immediately rose and fell.
"My little girl is so good!"
"Hello, Little Cherry! I'm your Aunt Wanwan!"
"Baby, look here! I'm your Uncle Zhuo! The most handsome one!"
Lu Beiye, who was in Chi Yanzhou's arms, suddenly made a move.
He rummaged around in the "treasure trove" pocket on the front of his overalls, and finally pulled out a handful of things from each hand.
"Little Cherry. I'm Uncle Ono." He earnestly handed over the candy and chocolate in his hand: "This is for you, a little gift."
Wen Ying looked at this "little uncle" who was about the same age as her, blinked, and did not immediately go to take him. Instead, she looked up at her mother first.
Wen Qing nodded to her daughter.
With her mother's permission, Wen Ying stretched out her delicate little hand and accepted the candies and chocolates, replying softly, "Thank you, Uncle Ono."
Although she was still wondering why this person who looked like an older brother was calling her "uncle," her mother told her to, so she would! Her mother must be right!
He Zhuo watched from the side and burst into laughter, pointing at Lu Beiye's face, which was trying hard to maintain a serious expression but whose ears were already secretly turning pink, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha! Ah Ye, why are you using this trick again! Look at that little face, it's exactly the same as when you tricked Juan Juan into calling him uncle last time!"
As he spoke, he imitated Lu Beiye's solemn demeanor of "I am an elder and I am very reliable," which made the people around him chuckle.
"Our little Aye's desire to be an elder is so obvious, it's written all over his face! So cute, so incredibly cute!"
Lu Beiye puffed out his little chest and retorted seriously, "According to seniority, I am the elder! It's right for Nannan to call me uncle!"
I'm not like some adults who laugh at kids for their chattering and then bursting into tears when things get tough.
There was a moment of silence, followed by an even louder burst of laughter...
Holding the little guy who was "going all out" in his arms, Chi Yanzhou couldn't help but smile and nodded.
"Ah Ye is right. Some people do laugh at kids for being unsuccessful."
He Zhuo was both angry and amused: "Lu Beiye! You, you, you...you little kid, who taught you this! Look at your sharp tongue, it's no different from eating rice mixed with arsenic."
Besides, I didn't shed any tears. Your brother was just expressing his true feelings! Don't you understand what "expressing true feelings" means?!
After he finished shouting, he looked up and found that everyone was looking at him with smiling eyes.
He Zhuo: "???" He looked around, his face full of disbelief.
"What...what do you mean by this?"
Lu Xici raised his hand and put it on his shoulder: "No need to doubt, no need to reflect."
"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black. Besides you, there's no other 'ink' here."
"Pfft!"
Gu Wan was the first to lose her composure. Seeing He Zhuo's exaggerated expression of being "collectively condemned" and unable to defend himself, as well as Lu Beiye's sly smile buried in Chi Yanzhou's shoulder, she burst out laughing.
Immediately afterwards, smiles appeared in everyone's eyes.
Holding Wen Ying, Wen Qing's eyes crinkled with amusement as she couldn't help but smile.
Little Wenying seemed to be infected by the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. Although she didn't understand what the adults were laughing about, she grinned and laughed along.
