Chapter 104 (1042nd update)
104:
"Hello," Ye Qingxi greeted him politely.
The other person bent down and said, "Hello."
His eyes were hidden behind the mirror. Only when Ye Qingxi got closer did she realize that his pupils were rather light in color, and he looked quite handsome.
"Who are you?" Ye Qingxi asked, puzzled.
He had just searched Ye Qingxi's memories very hard, but he couldn't find the identity of the person in front of him.
Then there are only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that although he knew "Ye Qingxi", "Ye Qingxi" had a faint memory of him. In other words, he was not important to the original "Ye Qingxi".
The second possibility is that he and "Ye Qingxi" did not know each other at all, so Ye Qingxi did not have him in her memories.
Regardless of the situation, they are not familiar people. In this case, even if they have met before, he can simply say that he has forgotten them.
His body is only five years old now. It's normal for a five-year-old child to forget an unfamiliar adult.
"Qin Yuan." The person in front of me extended a hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard so much about you."
Ye Qingxi was surprised. He had wondered why Qin Cheng looked familiar. Now he knew. Nephews resemble their uncles. He and Qin Cheng had some similarities in their facial features.
But who is this person who has heard so much about you?
Did Qin Cheng and Qin Luan ever mention him in front of him?
"Nice to meet you, I've heard so much about you." Ye Qingxi shook his hand. "Are you here to pick up Brother Qin Cheng?"
"I came to pick him up. I've been busy with work lately and haven't had a meal with him in a long time. But I also came to see you, mainly to see you."
"Huh?" Ye Qingxi asked, puzzled.
"How come you've heard so much about me?" Qin Yuan asked him with a smile.
"Brother Qin Cheng told me about you. He said you're very good to him and he likes you a lot."
"Really?" Qin Yuan's smile widened. "That's quite a coincidence. Xiao Cheng also told me about you, saying that you treat him very well and that he likes you a lot."
Ye Qingxi laughed.
Qin Cheng had also told him these things.
"Come here~" Qin Yuan took his hand and led him to her car.
Ye Qingxi glanced back at Li Wei and saw him calmly following them at a distance that was neither too close nor too far. She thought to herself, "Then it must be the real Qin Yuan."
Although he felt that the person in front of him didn't look like a bad person, and indeed resembled Qin Cheng, Ye Qingxi was still somewhat wary since they had never met before.
Qin Yuan led him to her car, opened the back door, and took out a box about the size of a laptop. "Here you go."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
“It’s a little robot,” Qin Yuan said. “Take it home and play with it. If there’s anything you don’t understand or don’t like, give me a call.”
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi asked in confusion, "Why are you giving me this?"
Qin Yuan patted his head. "I am Xiao Cheng's uncle, your aunt's brother. She and Xiao Cheng are my only sister and nephew. You helped her so much this time and saved her life. If it weren't for you, Xiao Cheng would not have a mother, and I would not have a sister. So I am very grateful to you."
"This little robot is our company's latest product. I originally wanted to give you something else, but it seems like you already have everything I could think of. When I asked Xiao Cheng to give you the smart airplane before, Xiao Cheng said you liked it very much, so I thought about it and decided that I could give you a little toy for now, and give you something else when you grow up."
Ye Qingxi is still young, and if he wants to thank him by giving him something valuable, he needs his father's permission. The Mu family is wealthy and their relationship with him isn't particularly close, so they will be more polite in their financial dealings, and most likely, they won't be able to give him anything.
So Qin Yuan thought that she could give him something that he was interested in at his age first, and then give him other things slowly when he got older.
There's no rush.
"Take it." Qin Yuan shook the box in her hand.
Ye Qingxi was indeed quite interested in the gift.
He really liked the smart airplane that Qin Yuan had given him through Qin Cheng, and he also found it fun to use it to tease cotton candy.
Therefore, he hesitated for two seconds, then reached out and took the box from Qin Yuan's hand, saying, "Thank you, Uncle."
"Uncle?" Qin Yuan blinked. "How can you call me uncle?"
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
What else should he call him?
"Xiao Cheng calls me uncle, so you should call me uncle too, just like him."
Ye Qingxi: Huh? Will this work?
"Come on, call out to me," Qin Yuan teased him.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi was in silence when she suddenly heard a clear "Uncle".
He turned his head, and Qin Cheng was already running towards them with light steps.
He ran to Ye Qingxi's side, looked at the things in his hands and Qin Yuan standing in front of him, and asked in confusion, "When did you two meet?"
"Just now," Qin Yuan said, "I came to pick you up, but I saw Xiao Xi first."
"Here." Qin Yuan opened the car door and took out a box of the same size. "This is a gift for you."
Qin Cheng took it, looked at his, then at Ye Qingxi's, and said happily, "Ours are the same."
"Yes, that way you two can play together."
"Mm." Qin Cheng nodded.
He looked at his uncle and asked, "Uncle, are you done with your work?"
"I'm temporarily done with my work. Your mom said she and your dad are both going on business trips, so I came to see you so you wouldn't be bored by yourself."
"I'm not bored at all," Qin Cheng said. "I've been staying at my grandpa's house recently, and I'm with my brother every day."
"Of course, your little brother is so cute!"
Qin Cheng laughed; he also thought his younger brother was adorable.
"Xiao Xi, you can also call me Uncle, Uncle." Qin Cheng turned to look at Ye Qingxi and said to him.
He remembered his mother telling him that Ye Qingxi's mother had married someone else but hadn't taken him with her.
Qin Cheng was very sad at the time, feeling that Ye Qingxi's mother was not good at all. How could she get married and then not want a child?
How heartbroken Ye Qingxi must be.
His mother didn't want him anymore, so he wouldn't have an uncle.
Therefore, Qin Cheng wanted to give him his uncle as well.
In this way, his younger brother also has an uncle.
Ye Qingxi: ...
You truly are his uncle's nephew; you think exactly the same way he does!
Qin Yuan laughed, "I told you to call me uncle!"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Okay, Ye Qingxi thought, since Qin Cheng doesn't mind, then he can be Qin Cheng's uncle.
Fortunately, he didn't have an uncle either.
"Uncle~" Ye Qingxi said.
His voice was soft, sounding like a grandmother's. Qin Yuan thought to herself: No wonder his nephew always said he sounded so sweet and gentle.
It really does look adorable and cute.
"Good girl." He patted Ye Qingxi's head.
He patted Qin Cheng's head again.
"Come on, your uncle will treat you to dinner! What would you like to eat?"
"Hot pot," Qin Cheng said.
Ye Qingxi thought for a moment and nodded. It was so cold outside, so eating hot pot was indeed a good idea.
"Okay." Qin Yuan opened the car door and let them get in.
Before getting into the car, Ye Qingxi remembered something and turned around to run to Li Wei. "Uncle Li, you go back first. Qin Cheng's uncle is taking us out to eat. He should take us home after we finish eating."
“Okay,” Li Wei replied.
Ye Qingxi then ran back to Qin Yuan's car and got in.
They went to a relatively quiet private hot pot restaurant.
Qin Yuan ordered a "Trio" hot pot base. When it was served, Ye Qingxi realized that it was just a combination of three bases: spicy, tomato, and seafood.
Ye Qingxi: ...It really is quite a trio.
"You two eat these two," Qin Yuan said, pointing to the seafood and tomato hot pot.
Ye Qingxi looked at the spicy hot pot that had been turned closer to Qin Yuan.
He wants to eat spicy hot pot.
“I can eat spicy food,” Ye Qingxi told him.
"This pot is very spicy," Qin Yuan said worriedly.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi felt that this was the only problem with the child's health; eating spicy food was particularly inconvenient for him.
Qin Yuan saw him purse his lips, ponder for a moment, and then ask the waiter for two bowls of water.
"Okay, if you want to eat the spicy hot pot, just rinse it in plain water until it's not so spicy before you eat it."
“Xiao Cheng too,” Qin Yuan said, looking at her nephew.
"Oh." Qin Cheng has recently developed a liking for tomato hot pot, so he doesn't really care about spicy hot pot.
Ye Qingxi, on the other hand, was very happy. "Thank you, Uncle."
"Don't be shy, what would you like to eat?"
He handed over the menu.
Qin Cheng and Ye Qingxi huddled together, heads close together, and ordered several dishes before handing the menu back to him.
Qin Yuan then ordered snacks, ice cream, and drinks for them and handed the menu to the waiter.
In no time, the table was filled with bowls and plates of all sizes.
Qin Yuan helped them cook the vegetables in the pot and chatted with them.
As Ye Qingxi listened to him speak, she thought he had a very good temper. No matter what Qin Cheng said, he would listen patiently and give his own response after listening.
"So, it turns out that the donut and the marshmallow still remember each other," Qin Cheng concluded.
Qin Yuan smiled and scooped up the cooked beef, handing it to him and Ye Qingxi. "That's great. They were brothers who grew up together for two months. Maybe they even missed each other after they were separated."
Qin Cheng propped his head up with his hand. "That's true."
When he was at home, he would think of Ye Qingxi.
What is his younger brother doing now?
Thinking of this, Qin Cheng turned to look at Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi felt his gaze and paused in her eating of beef. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at him?
He turned to look at Qin Cheng, "Brother, why aren't you eating?"
Qin Cheng noticed that he had sesame sauce all over his mouth from eating beef, so he picked up a tissue and gently wiped it off for him.
Ye Qingxi: !!
Ye Qingxi quickly replied, "I can do it myself."
"It's nothing." Qin Cheng didn't care at all; in fact, he was quite willing. "I'm your older brother, so I'll take care of you."
As he spoke, he continued to wipe Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi: ...But your uncle is here!
Aren't you embarrassed?
As it turned out, Qin Cheng wasn't embarrassed at all.
After wiping it, I also wiped the table for him and asked the waiter for an apron for him.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi looked at Qin Yuan awkwardly, only to see Qin Yuan smiling.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
No, you're happy about this?
What are you so happy about?
Ye Qingxi didn't understand, so she could only laugh along with him.
"Xiao Xi, is there anything else you'd like to eat? I'll get it for you," Qin Yuan said gently.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Just as Ye Qingxi was about to say that he could pick it up himself, she heard Qin Cheng say from the side, "He likes to eat shrimp. He also ordered shrimp balls, sweet potatoes, purple sweet potato balls, and sausage."
Qin Yuan understood, "Xiao Xi likes sweets."
He said, "No wonder she looks so sweet."
Qin Cheng nodded and boasted, "My younger brother is super sweet."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ? What's with that arrogant tone of yours?
Doesn't your little brother look sweet now?!
