Before even reaching Wei Wenru's cave, Nian Wanzhou could smell that fragrant and familiar aroma from a great distance.
Nian Wanzhou was stunned. She sniffed the air again and again. It was clearly the smell of her family's food!
There's no mistaking it; that flavor is the unique aroma of her mother's cooking!
Even if she dies, she will never forget that feeling of home. It is something engraved in her heart and mind, a unique memory she has of her mother.
Nian Wanzhou suddenly felt her eyes redden; she missed home.
She misses her mom and dad!
My senior sister actually made such a nostalgic dish, she's amazing!
It only took about fifteen minutes to rush to Wei Wenru's cave, thanks to Nian Wanzhou's powerful short legs, with Nan Yu carrying her behind him.
"You're here? Come on in, there's one last dish." Lexi had been waiting for them in the cave for a long time.
Upon seeing the people arrive, he coldly tossed out a single sentence and led them inside.
"Senior sister said you can eat first. She has one last dish to make and will come over as soon as it's ready. There's no need to wait for her." Le Xi had a slightly sour face because he really didn't want strangers competing with him for the food his senior sister had prepared.
There are still two people!
He used to have his eldest and third junior brothers competing with him, but now there are two more brats to contend with him, which infuriates him.
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother!" Nian Wanzhou didn't pay any attention to Le Xi's expression. Instead, he respectfully straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and entered the cave.
The eldest sister's cave dwelling was very large, two or three times larger than theirs.
It is said that the First Elder personally prepared it for her. The eldest sister's abilities and status are completely worthy of it, and no one objects.
The table was laden with dishes, all ordinary home-cooked meals, but they smelled especially delicious!
It looks like it was made by someone with really good cooking skills.
When Nian Wanzhou saw the familiar dishes, her eyes reddened even more. A voice in her heart told her, "That's Mommy's love." But another voice told her, "That's Senior Sister's love."
She was a little annoyed, but still politely asked Lexi, "Since Second Senior Brother is here, may I have a bite first?"
Looking at Nian Wanzhou's red eyes, Le Xi was somewhat moved.
I heard that this junior sister had no parents. Right after she was born, she followed a little demon to make a living by the lake and dared not go anywhere else.
How could a child possibly have a good life following a newly-adult demon? They'd probably be constantly hiding, and even finding food would be a problem.
He was originally a little dragon in the dragon clan who was unloved, so he naturally understood this kind of helpless life. His heart softened, and he pulled out a chair: "You eat quietly by yourself first. Senior Sister will be here soon. I'll go help you."
With tears in her eyes, Nian Wanzhou said, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother."
She couldn't reach the table... so she climbed onto a chair, obediently took the bowl, and picked up... her favorite hot and sour shredded potatoes!
That was Mom's specialty dish, sour and spicy, crispy and fragrant.
Nian Wanzhou took a small sip, and the familiar taste filled her mouth, stimulating her taste buds.
"Waaah, Mom..." She burst into tears instantly, two lines of tears falling down her cheeks suddenly and violently.
This display of force startled Nan Yu, leaving her at a loss: "Wanwan, what's wrong? Even if it's delicious, you can't cry from eating it, right? Although it really is delicious, please don't cry!"
"Waaah... Mom!!!" Nian Wanzhou finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
Nan Yu hurriedly patted her shoulder to comfort her, but Nian Wanzhou cried even harder, her crying shaking the entire cave!
"What's wrong??" Wei Wenru and the other two, each carrying a dish, came out looking bewildered. When they saw Nian Wanzhou crying so hard that the cave was shaking, they wondered, "What's wrong with this child?"
"Senior Sister... it seems Wanwan misses her parents. It's her first time eating human delicacies, that's why she's so excited." Nan Yu said awkwardly, comforting Nian Wanzhou while apologizing to Wei Wenru and the others.
Wei Wenru wasn't angry. She went over and put down the food, intending to comfort the child herself. She used to take care of the children that the Sixth Elder had taken in, so she was quite adept at it.
As Nian Wanzhou cried, she raised her teary eyes to look at those hands, and then upwards... there was a face exactly like her mother's.
That was also the face she longed for day and night, the face that had made her ill with longing.
Wei Wenru looks exactly like her mother, even the beauty mark under her eye is in the same spot. Is she the senior sister?
She suddenly threw herself into Wei Wenru's arms and burst into tears: "Waaah... Mommy, I missed you so much! Why didn't you and Daddy come to see me? Waaah..."
Wei Wenru held the child in her arms, bewildered. Why was this child randomly recognizing his parents?
Some people here also call their parents "Dad" and "Mom," but it's rare. Although most people call them "Dad" and "Mom," Wei Wenru didn't think there was anything wrong with the way they addressed them.
"Okay, Wanwan, don't cry!" She gently patted Nian Wanzhou's back, soothing the child in her arms.
"This is... Junior Sister?" Senior Brother Song Yan looked at the child in Wei Wenru's arms with curiosity. The child's two braids were trembling from crying.
Is my junior sister a crybaby?
Lexi stared at the child jealously. Here we go again!
Unexpectedly, Nian Wanzhou suddenly looked up at Song Yan and cried out, "Waaah, Daddy!"
Nian Wanzhou looked up, her face covered with large tears, looking really pitiful. The little dumpling was very endearing.
And that senior brother, Song Yan, really was just like her father, tall and thin, and very refined.
Aren't these her parents from another world?!
She was so touched; she had actually met them.
"Let me hug Mommy first, then I'll hug you. Waaah, Daddy, I miss you so much too! Hurry up and drive me home, I want to sleep with Mommy tonight, you can't take Mommy away from me!" After saying that, the little crybaby buried her head in Wei Wenru's arms again and continued to cry.
It was as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.
The four members of Nanyu: What's going on?! What is she saying? Why does she look so aggrieved? This little crybaby is actually quite cute.
Song Yan stood there dumbfounded, momentarily forgetting to react.
Nan Yu stared blankly at Nian Wanzhou. Had Wanwan mistaken her for someone else? Didn't she say she didn't have any parents?
How did you suddenly start mistaking your senior brother and sister for your parents?
But these two are such a good match...
Wei Wenru and her husband, who had suddenly become parents, blushed and looked at each other shyly before immediately looking away.
It's obviously an affair... Ugh, something's not right!
Something's not right!
Le Xi was furious at Nian Wanzhou's actions. That was his senior sister, not her mother!
If so, he should be the father!
"Wanwan, be good, don't cry, let's go eat!" Wei Wenru blushed slightly as she coaxed the soft little dumpling in her arms, and suddenly felt a very real sense of becoming a mother.
For some reason, it felt as if her junior sister really was her daughter.
