"You're so patriotic and hardworking; you're sure to have a bright future," Bu Ling casually remarked.
The other three family members inside the house, grandmother and grandchildren, all broke into smiles, and even Grandma Lan's gaze towards Buling became much more sincere:
"You're talking nonsense, kid. They're still young, what future do they have to talk about?"
Normally, what follows would be a phase of mutual flattery, but Buling's purpose in coming today was to annoy Aunt Lan: "That's true."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Lan's smile froze on her face, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. She wanted to curse, but at the last second, she thought of Bu Ling's house and forcibly swallowed the words back.
"Xiao Bu, sit down for a while, I'll go kill the fish."
"Go on, go on," Bling waved his hand impatiently.

I took a deep breath and walked out of the house with heavy steps.

"Mmm, my grandma always calls you a heartless brat..."
Wang Aiguo: ...
My heart is ice-cold!
He stole a glance at Bu Ling's face and found that she was not angry at all, but was smiling very brightly.
After Wang Aihua finished telling him everything he could remember, Buling ruffled his hair and gave him two pieces of candy: "Great job, this is a reward for you!"
Wang Aihua, who was delighted to receive four candies, grinned so hard that her gums were showing.
