reduced to a mere layer of grayish-brown skin by the wind.The corpse was covered in a grayish-brown hue, its facial features grotesquely distorted and contorted as if it had endured unimaginable tortu...A few moments later.
A somewhat helpless voice suddenly came from the path.
"You were just so angry about that dog a moment ago, and now you're all smiles after just one bowl of sweet rice balls"
Wu Xie lowered his head slightly, watching Wu Ling who was happily eating bowl of sweet wine rice balls, cheeks puffed out. He chuckled and poked Wu Ling’s face playfully:
"After eating so much before, how can you still eat all of this"
Wu Ling's skin, fair and thin, was indented by his fingertip, forming a shallow dimple.
With his cheeks puffed out, he looked strangely cute.
Wu Ling's cheek, which had been pricked, felt a little itchy, so she scratched it casually.
He looked up at his older brother, his words muffled because he had something in his mouth, but his tone was firm and resolute.
"Dude, I just took a tumble and it was awful! So embarrassing. I need to heal my wounded little heart with some delicious food, don't I"
Besides, haven't you heard that a person's stomach can be divided into two parts One part is for meals and the other for snacks. I just ate a lot of meals, but the snack part is still empty. It's edible, and besides, I chased that dog for half a day just now, so the food I ate has already been digested.
Wu Xie listened to this little glutton's words, a smile in his eyes.
He subtly suppressed the corners of his mouth that were constantly rising, reached out and patted Wu Ling's small belly, raised an eyebrow and asked:
"Really That fast of digestion Are you sure it's not just a little glutton looking for an excuse to snack"
"Not at all."
Wu Ling heard this and shook her head, giving off an expression of "I didn't, I don't have, don't talk nonsense."
His childish appearance made Wu Xie chuckle lightly, but inside his heart, he let out a sigh of relief.
He reached out and adjusted Wu Lingzheng's hat, which had tilted slightly because of his head shaking. His voice was laced with a hint of indulgence as he said:
"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding anymore. However, although these wine-filled dumplings are delicious, they're not easy to digest, and you just had intense exercise. Let's just have two more bites and then stop, okay Otherwise, you might get a stomachache."
"Sounds good."
Wu Ling also knew that he had definitely eaten a bit too much tonight. Although he was truly stuffed, he didn't disagree with Wu Xie's words.
After he had eaten two more bowls of glutinous rice balls, although he still wanted to eat them, he obediently handed the remaining half bowl of glutinous rice balls to Wu Xie: "Brother."
"Be good."
Wu Xie stroked his head and took the half bowl of yuanzi. Then, he handed him a small monkey lantern that he was holding.
Wu Ling chewed on the soft glutinous rice balls in her mouth, and reached out to take the small red lantern from the little monkey.
This little monkey lantern was painted by a pretty young lady on that pedestrian street before it met that silly dog.
While that young lady was drawing, Wu Ling, who never stayed still for a minute, actually watched her finish the drawing.
When Wu Xie saw that he liked it, he bought it.
That young lady's hands are very skilled. The monkey painted on the lantern is a cute and domineering chibi version of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, riding the clouds and mist. Wu Ling loves it very much.
He swayed the lantern in his hand, bouncing and watching Wu Xie's shadow. Wu Xie was calmly holding the remaining half bowl of wine-filled glutinous rice balls and slowly eating them. The mischievous young man hopped over and playfully stepped on Wu Xie’s shadow before smiling and asking:
"Big brother, when are we going to get home We've been traveling for ages, it's almost dawn."
"Turn around the corner ahead and you'll be at the apartment complex. What's wrong Tired Or is your leg hurting"
Wu Xie tossed the empty disposable bowl into the roadside trash can, then grabbed Wu Ling, who was bouncing around excitedly, his voice laced with a touch of worry:
"Just finished eating, don't move around, forgot how to fall"
"That was an accident, who knew the shoelace would come undone all of a sudden."
Wu Ling said this, but when she was pulled, she didn't struggle. She just bumped her head against Wu Xie's arm.
However, this time he didn't quite get the force right and hit a little too hard.
Wu Xiadou was fine, but Wu Ling directly knocked out her teeth and gritted her teeth.
He touched his slightly bruised nose, feeling a bit down: "How come I seem to be falling and bumping myself everywhere these two days"
He frowned and muttered to himself:
"I'm not tired, I'm just sleepy."
Wu wore a large cat doll over her shoulder, but she still walked effortlessly forward.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on his face. He patted Wu Ling's small belly and said in a teasing tone:
"I'm sleepy right after eating, who's little piglet is this"
"Your house's song."
Wu Ling curled her lips, disapproving of her older brother calling her "Little Pig."
His act of revenge was to practically press his entire body weight down onto his older brother.
For such childish behavior, Wu Xieji didn't even budge a step. He simply held the man's back with one hand, like holding a piglet, and walked forward slowly and leisurely.
Wu Xi glanced at the shadow of the street lamp in front of her, as if she had thought of something, her eyes flashed.
He lowered his head and asked Wu Ling, who was nestled in his arms and almost asleep:
"By the way, Xiaoling, I haven't asked you yet, how did you find me and Uncle San"
Wu Ling blinked her eyes, her big eyes rolling around as she let out a "haha" and said, "This Positioning"
"Where are we"
Wu Xie, upon hearing this, raised an eyebrow, as if puzzled.
"Hmm."
Wu Ling casually nodded. Seeing Wu Xie's confusion, he took out his phone from his pocket, waved it in front of him, and recalled the memories in his mind. He widened his round eyes and said:
"You forgot I was sick before, remember I hadn't gone to Germany yet. My second uncle found an old Chinese medicine practitioner for me in Huangshan."
"Because the treatment took a while, I ended up staying in Huangshan. It's all mountainous roads there, and you were worried I'd get lost, so you set up a location tracker on my phone."
"You said back then that no matter where I was, as long as I had my phone, you could find me anytime. I remember it clearly."
At this point, a cunning glint appeared in Wu Ling's eyes, and she said with pride:
"When I was in Hangzhou, that's when I thought of this. I wanted to see if your location sharing was on or off."
"So you were still on, and I found you following the location, hehehe, am I smart"
After finishing, Wu Lingyang tilted her head, with a look of "praise me, praise me quickly".
Wu Xie heard this and also remembered a few years ago when this phone's function first came out, he begged his second uncle to buy him two.
At that time, he thought to himself that he could only go up the mountain with his second uncle to accompany his younger brother during summer and winter vacations.
If he had this cell phone, wouldn't he be able to just secretly follow his brother's location on Sundays when he missed him
However, his plan had not yet been put into action when his younger brother suddenly fell ill.
With his organs severely failing, the old Chinese medicine practitioner from Huangshan had reached a point of no return. He was forced to seek treatment in Germany.
As time went on, Wu Xiaodeng forgot about this matter.
...but I didn't expect that...
He lowered his head slightly, his deep eyes fixed on the phone in his younger brother's hand, and chuckled softly:
"I thought you wouldn't use this phone anymore, but I see it's still in use."
Wu Ling's mouth twitched upwards slightly upon hearing this.
He rested his head on Wu Xie's shoulder, tilting his head to look at him, and let out a snort of laughter, saying:
"Hey bro, you're talking about me You haven't changed your phone in all these years either! I found one that's perfect for you."
Wu Xie's eyes flashed, and she tilted her head to look at him, a smile in her eyes as she nodded and said, "Yes, you found me."
Wu Ling's eyes were smiling, the corners of her lips curving upward: "Aha, I found you."
In their conversation, words flowing back and forth, they couldn't tell what phrase had sparked it, but the same goofy smile lit up both their faces.
All the words in the world cannot compare to the embrace and unrestrained laughter of a reunion after a long separation.
"Bro, hurry up and leave! Otherwise, it'll be dawn soon. I'm almost wide awake."
"Good."
Stars dotted the dark sky, a crescent moon hung high in the air, and a gentle breeze blew through the quiet flowerbed, bringing with it a refreshing scent of flowers.
In front of a two-story villa in Mingxing Garden, Wushan District, Hangzhou.
Wu Ling's eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at the massive villa before her, spanning nearly a few hundred square meters. The drowsiness that had been weighing her down vanished instantly, replaced by shock.
"Holy crap!"
He turned his head to look at Wu Xie beside him, swallowed nervously, and asked in disbelief:
"Dude, are you sure we didn't take a wrong turn"
Wu Xie looked at him with a smile, listening to his almost repeated question for the third time, he still patiently answered:
"No, I'm sure this is the right place."
Wu Ling, hearing this answer, her antennae perked up, and she immediately covered her chest with one hand, dramatically inhaling a large gasp of air.
“Sitting up in shock while dying, it's me the dirt dog When did you become successful, bro”
Wu slightly tilted his head, a smile in his eyes. He looked at his younger brother under the soft streetlight, watching this mischievous little rascal's antics. His voice was gentle as he chuckled:
"It's underdeveloped, this was given to me by my second uncle not long ago. I just moved here recently too."
"Was this given to you by your uncle"
Wu Ling, upon hearing this, displayed a surprised expression on her face and exclaimed in astonishment:
"Wow, when did my second uncle become so generous"
When it comes to this topic, Wu Xie's face also showed a hint of doubt.
When Second Uncle first gave him this house, the look of shock on his face was no less than the expression Little Ling has now.
Even then, he foolishly asked, "Uncle Two, are you still mentally sound"
The result...Needless to say, he got beaten up.
Wu Xie thought of this, and suddenly felt his buttocks still aching faintly.
He thought of his second uncle's face, ashen with anger, and trembled involuntarily. He coughed uncontrollably:
"Alright, alright, let's save this topic for later. Let's go inside and talk."
As he spoke, Wu Xie pulled out his key and opened the door.
The moment the door creaked open, several strands of soft light eagerly spilled out from the crack.
Wu frowned, looking at the lights in the room, muttering to herself as if speaking to no one:
"Hmm Did I forget to turn off the lights"
Wu Ling was blinded by the light inside and narrowed his eyes. He heard Wu Xie's voice, but couldn't make out what he was saying.
After his eyes had adjusted to the light, he rubbed his somewhat sour and gritty eyes and asked:
"What's up, bro"ed, she tilted her head to see her younger brother curiously watching the thing in her hand."Damn it."He lowered his head, meeting the gaze of his younger brother's clear eyes. For a moment, an inexpl...
