Chapter 242 A Pool of Resentment



Nan Yuanman, with her round little belly protruding, slumped in the car seat and nodded upon hearing this: "That's right."

“He has a lot of yin energy on him, just like when my sixth brother came back from exploring the hospital. He was soaked in yin energy. Strangely, he doesn’t have any ghostly aura, and his luck hasn’t been affected at all.”

Nan Yuanman recalled the face of Zhou Baiyu that she had just seen: "He doesn't look like a particularly evil person, but... when I look at him, it's like looking at a paper doll."

"Paper doll?"

"Hmm, Sixth Brother, don't you think his smile looks like the paper dolls I usually draw—fake, like it's been measured?" Nan Yuanman said, pulling up the corners of her mouth with her chubby little hands, her words muffled.

"Just like pixels, hehe."

Feng Jingcheng looked over and saw a little dumpling with a forced smile. He couldn't help but chuckle and reached out to rub her head: "Yuanman, you are so cute."

Nan Yuanman grinned foolishly: "I also think I'm cute."

"Now that you mention it, I really didn't notice before. I just thought it was amazing that this person could keep smiling all the time... cough cough, impressive, and didn't even seem tired."

Feng Jingcheng stroked his chin, recalling Zhou Baiyu's every move in the restaurant just now, and indeed felt that the smile on his face was too deliberate and too fake.

"And I don't like the way he looks at me." Nan Yuanman lazily turned over and muttered to herself, "The way he looks at me is just like the way I look at a cake."

Although that look only lasted for a brief moment, Nan Yuanman still managed to catch it.

Feng Jingcheng didn't hear Nan Yuanman's mutterings, but that didn't stop him from nodding in agreement: "I don't like him either. I really don't know what Xie Shuyao sees in that man."

Nan Yuanman had no idea; she was just a five-year-old child, and the love and affection of adults were too far removed from her.

As the two siblings talked, the car slowly drove into a villa area in Shangjing and arrived at Zhou Baiyu's home.

As soon as Nan Yuanman got off the bus, he saw a very familiar figure at the entrance of the villa.

Zhou Wenxuan's eyes lit up with surprise. He waved vigorously at Nan Yuanman, then rushed towards her like a cannonball: "Wow! Yuanman, little sister! I thought Uncle was talking about someone with the same name! I didn't expect it to really be you!"

He pouted, looking a little aggrieved: "This morning I even asked Mom to call your dad to ask if you were free, but he said you were busy. I thought I wouldn't be able to play with you today!"

Nan Yuanman was speechless: "..." Brother Mosquito is a bit of a persistent ghost.

Zhou Baiyu was somewhat surprised: "Wenxuan, do you know Miss Nan?"

"Of course I know her! We're good friends, right?" Zhou Wenxuan proudly raised his chin and looked at Nan Yuanman with anticipation.

Looking into Zhou Wenxuan's clear and innocent eyes, Nan Yuanman's mouth moved, but in the end she didn't say anything to refuse him, so she quickly changed the subject: "I want to play in the water, take me to play in the water?"

Zhou Wenxuan nodded excitedly, "Great! Let me tell you, my uncle's swimming pool is huge, and the water in it is warm..."

He hurriedly grabbed Nan Yuanman and ran away.

Xie Shuyao chuckled: "Kids are still kids after all. They don't care about anything else when they have something to play with."

Jason Chow chuckled: "Yes, children are the most innocent and pure creatures in the world."

He looked at Feng Jingcheng, who was watching Nan Yuanman's retreating figure with a worried expression, and asked, "Sixth Young Master Feng, would you like to go to the pool to relax?"

Feng Jingcheng readily nodded: "Okay, let's go."

Xie Shuyao yawned lazily: "I just finished eating, so I'm not swimming. I'll go to the poolside and keep an eye on the two little ones. You guys go change your clothes."

Jason Chow: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Yao Yao."

Xie Shuyao smiled and kissed his cheek, then stepped forward to catch up with the two little ones who were chatting away.

Nan Yuanman, of course, hadn't forgotten why she'd come to Zhou Baiyu's house, but, but...

A swimming pool!

It's a swimming pool that's as big as a pond in the countryside!

She's never seen it before!

In fact, there is a swimming pool in the Feng family manor, but Feng Jingcheng is the only member of the Feng family who is idle. He is also a landlubber and doesn't like to play in the water, so the pool has hardly been used since it was cleaned and disinfected.

Nan Yuanman was still young, and Feng Congqian was worried about her going to a dangerous place like a swimming pool alone, so he forgot to tell her...

So, the country bumpkin girl, who had never seen a swimming pool before, was attracted by Zhou Wenxuan's description and followed him to the huge swimming pool he had mentioned.

Looking at the square swimming pool in front of him, which was about the size of a basketball court, what Nan Yuanman saw at first glance was not the clear water, but a pool full of thick ghostly energy and resentment.

Nanman stopped in front of the pool, a look of astonishment on Baozi's face.

Zhou Wenxuan mistakenly thought she was shocked by the swimming pool, and couldn't help but proudly raise his chin: "See? I didn't lie to you, did I? The water in this pool is from a very famous hot spring, and it's warm. It's very nice to soak in it in winter!"

As he spoke, he couldn't resist squatting down by the pool and reaching his hand down to play in the water.

Just as his hand was about to touch the water in the pool, Nan Yuanman couldn't help but grab his shoulder and pull him back a little: "Don't touch it."

Zhou Wenxuan looked at her blankly: "Huh? Why can't I touch it? This water is clean."

With so much ghostly energy and resentment, where is it clean?

Nan Yuanman was so anxious that she kept scratching her butt. She couldn't just be honest with Zhou Wenxuan, so after holding it in for a while, she retorted, "Where is it clean? Anyway, you're not allowed to touch it. If you touch it, then don't come near me again!"

Feeling a bit aggrieved, Zhou Wenxuan recalled his encounter with Nan Yuanman outside the club last night and couldn't help but pout as he asked her, "Yuanman, do you also dislike me?"

Nanmanyuan: "Why do I dislike you?"

Zhou Wenxuan scratched his hands, lowered his head and whispered, "You think I'm stupid."

The Zhou family children all said he was stupid, they didn't like to play with him, and when they saw him playing alone, they would come over and push him and bully him.

Fortunately, he had an older brother who chased away those bad kids and even played with him building blocks; otherwise, he would have been heartbroken.

Now that he's finally met a kid who doesn't look at him like he's an idiot, Zhou Wenxuan really wants to become good friends with Nan Yuanman.

But... she seems to really dislike him.

Xie Shuyao walked in and saw the two little ones seemingly arguing, so she quickly went over and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Before Zhou Wenxuan could speak, Xie Shuyao heard another sharp baby cry, which made her stumble and fall uncontrollably into the pool.
