No wonder the marks near the window didn't look like they belonged to just one person. These monkeys are really something; they managed to steal Xiao Chang Le away without a sound.
It's also his fault for getting used to the monkeys' presence and not noticing their purpose in approaching the courtyard.
"Brother, please don't blame them. They are my best friends. They are all I have. Please~" Xiao Changle grabbed Chen Sanmei's hand and shook it, looking up and pleading.
Shen Sanmei suddenly felt uneasy: "You... want friends?"
The mountains are peaceful and quiet, free from conflict, yet they also offer many constraints. Chang Le has never left Jingchen Mountain since birth, nor has he ever had any playmates his own age.
Does the little one also want to have friends of the same age?
Xiao Changle tilted his head: "I like new friends, but I already have many, many friends. My brother is my best friend."
Shen Sanmei's heartache shattered instantly, even feeling a pang of pain:
"You just said that the monkey is your best friend."
"Huh?" Xiao Changle immediately forgot. "I don't know~ Brother must have misheard~"
"Oh."
"Brother, you have to believe me. Mom said I'm an honest and good boy."
"oh."
"My brother doesn't believe me!"
"without."
"Yes, yes!"
"Um."
"My brother is so annoying!"
"You just said..."
"I won't listen! I won't listen!!"
Xiao Changle charged forward like a bull, shoving Chen Sanmei aside, and then ran towards a small courtyard not far away, his back view showing a rather panicked escape.
As Shen Sanmei watched her retreating figure, his feigned indifference softened by the warmth of spring, melting away his frost.
He took a step and chased after her, following that bright and radiant little figure, as if chasing his own sun.
Xiao Changle admitted her mistake, obediently and earnestly saying sorry, and then forgot about it the next day.
Every few days, or at least once a week, Xiao Changle would go to Guidao's place to watch the carving.
Strangely enough, Jiu Fanggui took in Gui Dao, who suffered from autism, originally intending to study his strange ability—the ability to transform his body and energy form in the shadows. However, due to Gui Dao's illness, the experiment was never conducted.
Ghost Blade was immersed in his own world, a world in which only he existed.
Jiu Fanggui tried several times but failed to open his heart. Just when he thought things would continue like this, Gui Dao actually saved Chang Le who had broken in. Later, Gui Dao actually gave his carved works to little Chang Le!
That's something that almost got me beaten up by Ghost Blade when Jiu Fanggui tried to take it!
Afterwards, Jiu Fang Gui discovered that Gui Dao seemed to be subtly accepting Xiao Chang Le's existence.
This was a good sign. For the sake of Gui Dao's treatment and to prevent Xiao Chang Le from barging into places like laboratories again, Jiu Fang Gui decided to place Gui Dao in a room in the Green Vine Courtyard that day.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Changle excitedly pulled the sullen-faced Shen Sanmei and ran out to greet him.
"Here you are!" Xiao Changle covered his forehead with his palm as he watched the person approaching.
Jiu Fanggui and Qi Qi walked over with two people and two non-humans.
The two non-humans are a different species, called apes—a mutated species of apes.
Although he is tall and incredibly strong, he is gentle in nature and timid. At this moment, he is carrying and shouldering the belongings of the Ghost Blade, acting as a porter.
These two are named "Atai" and "Ashan" respectively.
Ghost Blade was completely shrouded in black clothes, with only his eyes visible. On his right hand was a specially made bracelet, the other end of which was held by a strange young man.
The boy looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old. Although his features were somewhat childish, his elegant and refined demeanor was already captivating.
Her long eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes were like a painting, exuding a sense of friendliness, while her snow-white and neat long robe revealed a hint of aloofness.
Spring mountains covered in snow, their jade-like peaks radiating a divine aura. This is a beautiful scene with a style distinct from Jiu Fang Gui and Shen San Mei.
Shen Sanmei frowned subconsciously, looked down, and sure enough, the handsome little brat was already staring intently at the new older brother.
"My darling!" Qiqi strode over and scooped up Xiao Changle, the mother and daughter nuzzling each other.
Jiu Fanggui sent the two apes to put their things away in the room. Turning around, he saw Xiao Changle secretly looking at the boy and laughed, "Don't you recognize him, baby? That's your brother Xuanxuan. He used to hold you when you were little!"
The young man smiled and extended his hand to Xiao Changle: "Xiao Changle, I am Luo Xuan, hello."
This is Luo Xuan at the age of fifteen.
Luo Xuan came to Jiu Fanggui's side before Shen Sanmei. Although young, he was Jiu Fanggui's capable assistant, spending almost all his time in the laboratory. He only saw Chang Le once shortly after Chang Le was born, and the two never saw each other again.
Xiao Changle loves making new friends, especially since this older brother is also very handsome. She immediately stretched out her hand and said, "Hello, Brother Xuanxuan!"
Then, as if remembering something else, Xiao Changle tilted her body and waved her hand again: "Brother Daodao is good too!"
Then, not forgetting to turn to the other side, she said, "Brother, you're doing well too~"
Shen Sanmei: "..."
Scumbag woman!
Ghost Blade settled down in the Green Vine Courtyard. After Luo Xuan gave Chang Le a formation plate as a gift, he returned to the laboratory.
Xiao Changle has two more new friends to play with.
It's worth mentioning that after trying for three months and realizing that he really didn't have the talent for carving, Xiao Changle decisively gave up carving the little rabbit and cleverly changed his approach to exchanging items with Guidao for finished products.
Therefore, after that, you could often see Gui Dao holding a lollipop, an unwashed peach, or a plate of jostled vegetables.
Xiao Changle's life is colorful.
On Monday, it darted to Gui Dao's place; on Tuesday, it climbed into Chen Sanmei's bed; on Wednesday, it knocked on Luo Xuan's door; on Thursday, it jumped around with Ooh-ooh-ah-ooh; on Friday, it fought with the wolf cubs for their mother; on Saturday...
