Su Ran watched Nuan Nuan go home, then patted Xing Yun's head and slowly returned to his home with Da Gou.

His grandfather was playing chess with him. Su Ran walked over and sat opposite him, putting half a basket of strawberries in front of him.

"Going to Old Liu's house again?"

Old Su knew where the boy had gone at a glance.

Su Ran nodded lightly, and with his bony fingers he placed the white piece on the board.

The old man and the young man started playing chess back and forth. Xingyun lay quietly beside the table and no one spoke.

Until the end... "Grandpa, I lost."

Su Ran put down the chess piece and stood up, his figure as tall and elegant as a green bamboo.

"You eat the strawberries first, I'll do my homework."

Old Su looked at the strawberries in the basket, smacked his lips and muttered, "Why are there so few brought back today? What did you use to exchange with Old Liu's family?"

Su Ran paused and mumbled something.

However, he turned around, dug up an orchid from the small yard where his grandfather grew flowers, and left quietly.

When Mr. Su finished eating his strawberries and went to his own small garden to admire the flowers as usual, he looked at the pit and fell silent.

A few seconds later... "Su! Ran!"

The old man picked up his walking stick and went to find the culprit, but someone who had expected this had already taken Xingyun and hid somewhere unknown.

However, after returning again, although he was not beaten, he was punished to copy the family rules and ancestral teachings, which had more than 10,000 words, all written in calligraphy.

Su Ran, kneeling on the cushion, straightened his back, stood upright, holding the pen in one hand and lighting the lamp to work at night.

Nuannuan had no idea what was happening here with Su Ran.

Bai Mohua stayed in the studio for several hours. When Nuannuan came over with the washed strawberries and milk, not only his hands and clothes were covered with paint, but his clean and fair face was also covered with it.

"cousin."

The little girl tugged at the hem of his sweater, and he finally came back to his senses from the world in his painting.

“Nuan Nuan…”

Bai Mohua held up the paintbrush and moved his stiff body, then stretched his waist and pounded his shoulders with his fists.

“It’s so sour.”

Nuan Nuan held a strawberry in her little hand, tiptoed and passed it over, saying softly.

"My cousin is eating strawberries. They are delicious."

Bai Mohua bent down and bit off half of the strawberry in one bite. It was sweet with just the right amount of sourness.

"It's delicious. When did you buy it?"

Looks fresh.

Nuan Nuan replied crisply: "My brother Su Ran and I went to Grandma Liu's house to pick them."

Bai Mo Hua——"When did you go? Has Su Ran been here?"

I was so confused that I didn't know anything.

Nuannuan nodded and ate a strawberry happily. Her beautiful watery eyes stared at her cousin's painting, which was almost finished. The little girl was amazed again.

"Wow……"

She felt like she saw another self, with the halo of light shining through the bamboo curtain onto herself in the painting, adding a touch of softness to the picture.

"She looks better than Nuan Nuan!" "Nonsense."

Bai Mohua came over and pinched her cheeks - "Mingming Nuannuan is the prettiest."

Nuannuan felt a little shy while eating strawberries. She was not that pretty. Her cousin just tried to make her happy.

The painting was finally completed after dinner. Bai Mohua put away all the tools and carefully took down the painting.

"I'll have the painting framed tomorrow and give it to you."

"Thank you, cousin."

Nuannuan happily hugged Bai Mohua and looked at the painting with great love, her eyes sparkling like stars.

Seeing how much she liked it, Bai Mohua felt particularly satisfied.

"Cousin Nuannuan will give you a shoulder massage." The child who received the gift felt sorry for his cousin who had been sitting for almost the entire day.

She held her second cousin's hands with her own little hands and sat down. She ran behind him, clenched her fists, and began to punch his shoulders in a very serious manner.

The force was just right, and Bai Mohua squinted his eyes in comfort and asked in surprise.

"How did you know this, little cousin?"

The young man was massaging Bai Mohua's shoulders with grunts and grunts - "When grandma has a headache or shoulder pain, Nuan Nuan will help her."

Bai Mohua thought for a while before he realized who the grandmother she was talking about was. He felt a little sad. His mother had also told him about the place where his little cousin lived before.

He thought to himself that he must be very good to his little cousin in the future. Of course, the obedient and soft little cousin deserved his kindness.

After massaging for a while, Bai Mohua pulled her to eat a lot of food together. The two of them sat together with their legs crossed, and there was a furry little orange cat.

Bai Mohua feeds her little cousin and then the little orange cat, and feels like a winner in life!

She stayed at her uncle's house for two days. On the third day, her parents dressed her and combed her hair and said they would take her to meet her uncle.

As early as when she was at Su Ran's brother's house, she heard Grandpa Su mention her uncle. Nuannuan was a little nervous about meeting them today. After getting in the car, she held her parents' hands the whole time.

Father Gu hugged her and comforted her - "Nuannuan's two uncles will definitely like you very much."

Nuan Nuan held his fingers with both hands and asked eagerly - "Really?"

Father Gu nodded affirmatively. He didn't know about others, but he knew how his two uncles felt about his mother. He saw that they were definitely more affectionate to Nuannuan than to him, their grandson.

After driving for a while, they arrived at an independent old villa. Perhaps because they had informed the owner of the villa in advance, they drove in smoothly.

Gu Linmo got off the car holding his daughter, and immediately saw a group of people standing not far away, among whom were two elderly men with silver hair standing at the front.

They looked older than Grandpa, and their eyes were either wise and dignified or elegant as they looked in the direction of Nuannuan and the others.

"uncle."

Mr. Gu carried his daughter over and called the two of them respectfully.

The two elders' gazes stayed on him for only a brief moment, then they nodded and their eyes fell on Nuannuan.

One of the old men had a dazed look in his eyes and called Nuannuan softly.

"I'm back..."

Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, then called out politely and obediently.

"Big uncle, second uncle."

The two old men's eyes were red. The one who spoke earlier was Nuannuan's uncle. After he came to his senses, an embarrassed smile appeared on his serious face.

But just this slight smile made the younger generations of the Qin family look surprised and even a little bit unbelievable.

This old man who was always stern and majestic in front of everyone actually smiled. He had never smiled so kindly even to his own grandson!

Several younger kids suddenly felt upset and couldn't help but look at the girl a few more times.

She looks pretty... pretty good-looking?

"Come here, uncle, and have a look."

Nuannuan walked up to them with small steps, obediently took the hand that her great uncle extended, and called out "great uncle" softly.

The smile on the old man's face became more obvious - "Good boy."

There was a faint sound of gasps coming from behind, and then he laughed again, more obviously this time, and his voice was so soft and gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring the little girl in front of him. He even praised her for being well-behaved. It wasn't just an illusion just now!

The two old people seemed not to notice, one of them holding Nuannuan's hand and walking towards home, while a group of young people followed them in a daze.

When the two old people held Nuan Nuan's little hands, time seemed to go back to their youth. The two brothers spoiled their delicate and pretty sister like a little princess, giving her whatever she wanted and often taking her out to play. When she made a mistake, the two brothers would secretly stand up for her and would not let her receive any punishment.

But now... they are old, and their sister will never see them again. Now when they see their sister's granddaughter, who looks so much like her, the two brothers can't help but want to pamper her, as if they are back to the time when they pampered their sister.

However, they also clearly realized that the obedient little girl next to them was not their sister after all, and their personalities were too different.

"Nuannuan, we are both old, and your second uncle is sick, so he can't fly to Lincheng to see you. You must come and see us two old men often in the future, okay?"

The little girl was held by the hand and followed them closely. She was very obedient and answered in a soft voice when she heard what was said.

"good."

My second uncle smiled gently and pressed lightly on the top of her head with his palm.

"Good boy, uncle is old now, it's great that he can still see Nuan Nuan..."

The little girl tilted her head and smiled at them with curved eyebrows.

When they met for the first time, the two uncles gave her many gifts, but Nuannuan only accepted small gadgets and was unwilling to accept many expensive things.

"Uncle, Nuannuan likes these. You don't need to give me the cards and money. My big brother and dad have saved a lot for me and I can't spend it all."

The uncle even wanted to transfer some of his company's shares to Nuannuan, which scared Mr. Gu so much that he almost hugged his thigh and begged for mercy.

Can these things be given away casually? They are here to visit relatives, not to make enemies.

The uncle looked very unhappy after being rejected. Nuannuan held his hand and persuaded him softly.

"Uncle, Nuannuan has to make her own money in the future. The things you gave her are much better. Nuannuan can't be greedy, or she will become a bad kid in the future."

The old man was really amused by the wrinkled and distressed look on the little face, so he didn't insist any more.

He knew in his heart that offering free shares was a bit too much, but he just couldn't help it.

This guy... gets more and more confused as he gets older.

The younger generation who were watching nervously, especially the two elderly people's daughters-in-law, breathed a sigh of relief and began to feel better about Nuannuan.

It's not that they are so greedy that they value the shares in their father's hands. If they really give the shares to Nuannuan, it will be unfair to their children, and they will certainly feel uncomfortable. Secondly, Nuannuan is an outsider to them after all, and if something happens to her in the future, it will not be good for anyone.

Nuannuan stayed at her two uncles' homes until the evening and then left. After waving goodbye and returning to her uncle's home, she immediately saw Bai Mohua leaning his head against the door.

"cousin--"

After getting off the car, Nuannuan ran into his arms and rubbed her furry head against him twice.

"I'm back!"

Bai Mohua, who was originally a little drowsy, smiled happily while holding the little guy in his arms.

"Did you miss me, little cousin?"

Nuannuan smiled softly and nodded like a little chick pecking at rice. She hugged his neck and rubbed her little face against his handsome and clean face. Her voice was so soft and sweet.

"Yeah, I did think about it."

Everyone in the yard burst into laughter, while Mr. Gu, who was standing by, felt a little jealous. She was obviously his daughter... why were so many people competing with him for her?
