Chapter 9 Nian Nian Conquers Grandpa
The words "so cute" were still spinning in Shi Linzhuo's mind. He was dazed and had no idea what Shi Guilin had asked. He wiped the blood from his nose again and walked to the sink with a dazed look in his eyes. "Okay, uncle. I'll go wash it right away."
Shi Guilin: "..."
There's nothing to say, this kid is hopeless.
Shi Linzhuo walked away, his chin bloodshot. Nian Nian watched him leave and thought of the video Li Yan had shown her. In the video, her father also had a lot of red fluid flowing out of his body, and after that, he lay on the ground, motionless.
He suddenly became anxious, tugging at Shi Guilin's clothes on his chest, pointing in the direction Shi Linzhuo left, his brows furrowed in worry: "Papa, papa."
"It's okay, baby." Shi Guilin hugged him and said, "He has a nosebleed, just wash it and it will be fine."
"Woo, papa." Nian Nian was speechless. His vocabulary was too limited to describe the possibility that Shi Linzhuo might lie on the ground motionless.
Shi Guilin had no idea what was going on in Nian Nian's mind. The next moment, Nian Nian held a sandbag in her arms, pointed in the direction Shi Linzhuo had left, and began to cry.
While the father and son were having an illogical conversation, Shi Linzhuo in the bathroom had quickly stopped the nosebleed and washed his face and hands clean.
He leaned his lower back against the edge of the sink, head lowered, his thumbs clacking on the phone keyboard, bombarding the WeChat group.
S: Holy shit! I feel so good!
S: You have no idea what it feels like to be looked up to and admired by cute creatures!
S: Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!
S: So cute, so cute, so cute, so cute, so cute!!!
As Shi Linzhuo was posting, he was recalling Nian Nian's admiring eyes, his mouth grinning from ear to ear.
The other people in the group didn’t seem to be listening carefully, and they replied almost immediately.
Ji Tianyun: What are you doing? Did you get food poisoning from the cafeteria at noon?
Cheng Shenyang: What cute thing? Is that the little brother you said you'd go home to see? How cute is he?
Shi Linzhuo changed his posture and leaned against the sink, replying as if giving alms:
S: I’m talking about my younger brother. He’s so cute!
S: Anyone who sees my brother has to fall at his feet... No, under the sandbags!
The two people on the opposite side had completely opposite reactions to this statement.
Ji Tianyun: Look, when can you stop exaggerating? Children are cute, of course, but you're exaggerating too much.
Cheng Shenyang: Can you give me a photo of your brother? I want to have sex with him online.
Shi Linzhuo first replied to Ji Tianyun, "Go eat shit," and then sent a message to Cheng Shenyang, "No."
Although he actually has no photos.
Before they could talk more, a series of wailing sounds like the roar of a small train flashed in Shi Linzhuo's ears.
Shi Linzhuo looked over with a bewildered look on his face, and saw his uncle standing before him, holding the crying Nian Nian. He stood up straight, put away his phone rather bewilderedly, and asked stutteringly, "Uncle, why is Nian Nian crying?"
"I wanted to ask you what you were dawdling about in the bathroom. Nian Nian saw you had a nosebleed and was worried about crying. I thought you'd wash up and come back soon, but you never came back. Nian Nian was so scared that she cried and pulled me to come find you."
After Shi Guilin finished scolding Nian Nian, he wiped her face and said, "See, your brother is fine."
After listening to Shi Guilin's words, Shi Linzhuo was stunned for a moment and was deeply moved by Nian Nian. He felt that this younger brother was so caring and cute, and perfect no matter how he looked at him.
He walked to Shi Guilin's side and carefully took Nian Nian's hand, which was small and soft, and whispered, "I'm fine, Nian Nian."
Nian Nian blinked her watery eyes and glanced at Lin Zhuo's nose and chin. Both places were clean and not red.
He calmed down, sniffed, and slowly stopped sobbing.
"What are you all doing? You're all crowded in the sink having a meeting." Wang Xiulin and Shi Jianfeng, who were dressed neatly, walked down the spiral wooden staircase and saw three people gathered together.
The two adults and one child turned around at the sound.
"Dad, Mom." Shi Guilin hugged Nian Nian and smiled.
"Hey." Wang Xiulin's eyes lit up when she saw Nian Nian turned around. Her beauty was even more striking than in the video, causing her to exclaim slightly, "You're so cute, little Nian Nian."
Nian Nian also saw her. He tried to repeat what Wang Xiulin had taught him, his voice soft and childish: "Na, na."
It wasn't standard at all, but everyone could tell he was calling grandma.
Unlike everyone else who just smiled, Shi Linzhuo was quietly lamenting in the background. He had been so busy with his nosebleed that he had forgotten to teach Nian Nian to call him brother! He hadn't even had time to introduce himself to her!
Wang Xiulin was so delighted by the sound that she quickly pinched Nian Nian's soft little face to satisfy her desire, "Nian Nian called me so nicely that she recognized me as grandma right away."
After praising with a smile, she invited everyone back to the living room.
As soon as everyone sat down, Wang Xiulin couldn't wait to open her arms and said, "Niannian, can you give me a hug, grandma?"
Nian Nian seemed to be thinking for a while, then hesitantly opened her arms and said, "Hmm."
"Oh, dear baby." Wang Xiulin happily hugged the little girl in her arms, then took out a big red envelope, "This is from us, Nian Nian. Do you like it?"
Nian Nian sat obediently on Wang Xiulin's lap with her feet propped up. The bulging rectangular red paper package in front of her was so big that she had to use both hands to grab both sides of the red paper package to hold it firmly.
After receiving the red envelope, he wanted to turn around and show it to Shi Guilin as usual, but when he looked up, he met Shi Jianfeng's eyes.
Nian Nian looked at him, opened her mouth a little, but didn't say a word.
Shi Jianfeng was happy to see that Nian Nian finally saw him. A smile appeared on his usually calm face, and he was about to take something out of his pocket.
As a result, he died before he could accomplish his mission.
The smile he thought he had on his face was completely distorted in Nian Nian's eyes. The serious-looking man's mouth was stiff and raised like a puppet, as if he was under some kind of sorcery, his smile superficial but not real.
It's even scarier than the video call.
Nian Nian, who had no ability to resist, could only hold the red envelope tightly. The desire to cry made his nostrils flare, his lips tightly pursed, and his face pout like a bun.
Shi Guilin couldn't help laughing when he saw this. His father, the expressionless and sour-faced king, finally met Nian Nian, the soft-hearted girl. The chemical reaction between the two was quite funny.
After all, the other children in the Shi family are all rather reckless, and no one is afraid of Shi Jianfeng.
Shi Linzhuo, however, was eager to protect his father. He started to protest from the other end of the sofa: "Grandpa, stop laughing. You're over sixty and you still haven't given up? Don't keep doing things you have no talent for. You're almost scaring Nian Nian to tears."
Before Shi Jianfeng could snort, Shi Guilin sat up straight and scolded, "How do you teach people as a teacher?"
Shi Linzhuo's face turned pale.
Then, seeing his disrespectful uncle who didn't care about his own father's life or death, he smiled evilly and said, "I taught you to speak so pertinently."
Shi Linzhuo: "..."
Uncle, can you finish what you want to say at once next time?
Wang Xiulin chuckled, reached out and slapped Shi Jianfeng lightly on the shoulder, making a crisp sound. "Don't be afraid, Nian Nian. Grandma is watching."
Shi Jianfeng glanced at her helplessly, then continued to stare at Nian Nian. He seemed to be thinking of an opening line, and finally said, "I am your grandfather."
"Woo." Nian Nian choked out a sound in response, her little face full of confusion, as if to say, I know you are my grandfather, and then what.
The black pupils in the two big eyes looked at Shi Jianfeng eagerly and timidly.
