Chapter 638: Make Mother Fall in love with Someone Else!
“Xiao Letong, I’m warning you again. There are a lot of tourists now. You can’t wander around by yourself.” In the Xiao family, Xiao Lingyu lectured her son very seriously. “It’s too dangerous!”
Xiao Letong raised his head and was about to defend himself when Xiao Lingyu interrupted him. “Don’t say that you’re a genius who is clever and intelligent. No one can abduct you.
“Let me tell you. No matter how talented you are, you can’t change the fact that you’re still a little bun. So, you can either follow me obediently or you can follow your grandparents obediently.”
Little bun, Xiao Letong, “…”
“Also, let me make it clear again. If I find out that you’ve run off on your own again…” Xiao Lingyu sneered, “Be prepared to have red buttocks!”
Xiao Letong’s little body trembled to see the sinister smile on his mother’s face.
He shook his head violently like a rattle-drum and promised his mother, “No, no, Mommy. I promise I won’t run away alone anymore.”
“That’s more like it!” Then Xiao Lingyu asked suspiciously, “Will you really do that?”
Xiao Letong had a helpless expression as he asked, “Mommy, can’t you trust your son? Do I have to swear?”
Xiao Lingyu, “…”
The corner of her mouth twitched.
Just who was this child like? Was Tianhao like this when he was young? That was impossible. He wasn’t like her either. She heard from her mother that she was a well-behaved child.
Could this be cross-generational inheritance? Was Xiao Tong like Gong Tianhao’s father?
Xiao Lingyu wasn’t sure anymore.
Xiao Letong then said like an adult, “Then, Mommy, tell me. What do you want me to do before you can trust me?”
Xiao Lingyu rubbed her chin and said with a smile, “How about this? You can just follow me around always.”
Xiao Letong was instantly dumbfounded. “What?” How could he sneak away if he was always stuck to his mother?
Xiao Letong looked at his mother’s half-smile and felt a little defeated. Then, he said in a bargaining tone, “Mom, I’ll follow Uncle Xiaohui, okay?” It was easier to run away from Uncle Xiaohui. It was most boring following the adults.
“No!” Xiao Lingyu vetoed. “The moment your Uncle Xiaohui turns his eyes away from you, you’ll run away again? Do you want your Uncle Xiaohui to abandon the visitors to go find you?
Xiao Letong, “…”
“Therefore, you’d stay by my side these days. Otherwise, I’d send you back to your room to practice calligraphy.” Xiao Lingyu said seriously, “Xiao Ling has been alone in the space these few days and is a little lonely. I think he’d like to practice calligraphy with you. Yes, this is a good idea!”
Xiao Letong, “…”
Then, he didn’t even have the chance to resist and was directly thrown into his room by his mother to practice calligraphy with Xiao Ling.
Under Xiao Letong’s request, he had gained a separate room in the house. He said that he was already a grown-up and needed his own private space.
The Xiao family did not have any objections.
They directly arranged a children’s room for him. The room was in blue tones because it was a boy’s room. There was a small children’s bed. The walls were painted with big trees, plants, and a giraffe. The floor was covered with all kinds of colorful foam. At the same time, there was a small blue desk in the room.
“Little Master, why do I have to practice calligraphy with you?” Xiao Ling, who looked like a three-year-old, wrinkled his small face into a bun.
Almost two years had passed, and Xiao Ling still looked the same as before. He did not look taller, but he had become thinner. He needed the energy to grow, but there was none to find in this world. Besides, Xiao Letong had exhausted his energy in the farming space. He had slimmed down a lot.
Xiao Lingyu did not dare to let Xiao Ling out because Xiao Ling didn’t age. She would only secretly let him out to play with Xiao Letong. But most of the time, he would accompany Xiao Letong to practice calligraphy. Xiao Ling didn’t like to practice calligraphy. But that was the thing he was told to do every time he was let out.
Xiao Letong held a small brush and looked at the big characters on the table. He said helplessly, “I don’t want to do this either, but you know how strict mom is. The moment I want to sneak away to play, she’d have me practice calligraphy.”
Xiao Ling frowned and said with puzzlement, “But why do you always want to sneak out and play alone?”
Xiao Letong said, “Do you think I want to? Everyone in this village is too busy to play with me.
“As for those snot-nosed kids, forget it. They are too unhygienic. When I see them covered in dirt, I feel nauseous. How can I play with them?”
After all, he was an old child who had lived for thousands of years. Although he tried his best to act his age, it was hard sometimes.
Xiao Ling held the brush in his hand. He sat in front of the table and scribbled across the words on the paper.
Xiao Ling looked at the brush in his hand and frowned. “I already know how to write with a brush. Why do I still need to practice?” His calligraphy was actually at a master’s level.
Xiao Letong also frowned. “It’s the same for me, okay? I’ve been writing for thousands of years. But now, I still have to practice.”
Xiao Ling thought for a moment and said, “Little Master, why don’t you directly tell master the truth? When she finds out everything, she will be relieved to let you go out to play alone.”
When Xiao Letong heard this, he looked at Xiao Ling with a complicated expression. He shook his head and said, “No.”
Xiao Ling asked in confusion, “Why?”
“You don’t understand!” Xiao Letong did not answer Xiao Ling but continued to write seriously.
Xiao Ling did not understand human emotions at all.
Ever since he knew that his mother was a person who had been reborn and saw everything that she had done, he understood that his mother really wanted to make up for the debt she owed him in her previous life. She wanted to repay the love she owed him in her previous life with double the amount.
As for him, he had never received any love from his parents in his two lives. He wanted to enjoy himself in this life. Therefore, he followed the order of human growth and enjoyed the joy of family.
Xiao Ling was a space spirit that didn’t understand these things. Xiao Ling didn’t spend too much time being conflicted about this.
As he listened to the lively scene outside, he blinked his eyes and said longingly, “There seems to be a lot of people outside. I really want to go and take a look!”
Xiao Letong stopped writing. He looked carefully at Xiao Ling and saw the hopeful expression on his face. He thought for a moment and said, “Xiao Ling, bear with it. After a while, I’ll think of a way to let you go out and play!”
Xiao Ling’s eyes immediately lit up, and he said happily, “Yes, okay!”
He trusted Xiao Letong. Ever since their first meeting and Xiao Letong showed him his true ability, Xiao Ling had always obeyed Xiao Letong. Normally, it looked like Xiao Letong liked to order Xiao Ling around, but in fact, Xiao Letong cared about Xiao Ling like a brother too.
The two kids chatted for a while and went back to practicing. They had to write a hundred words, and they were all different. It went from simple to complex!
However, neither of them was a real child. They had no problem writing these words. Regardless, they still had a child’s physique. After writing a hundred words, their hands still hurt.
Halfway through writing, the two put down their brushes, shook their little arms, and began to chat again.
Suddenly, Xiao Letong asked Xiao Ling, “Xiao Ling, I want to find another husband for my mom. What do you think?”
“…” Xiao Ling said speechlessly, “Little Master, have you forgotten that you already have a father?”
Xiao Letong supported his chin and said, “That father has been unconscious for two years already.”
“The male master’s head has suffered such a serious injury. Even if the spiritual spring water is used, it will still take some time,” Xiao Ling explained, “According to the time, the male master is about to wake up.”
“So what?” Xiao Letong said, “He might not remember mom when he wakes up. If he forgets her, I’ll find another husband for mom.”
Xiao Ling, “…” why does little master want to be someone else’s stepson?
Xiao Letong said, “If Gong Tianhao wakes up and doesn’t remember my mother and me, then how sad would mom be?”
He paused for a moment before saying again, “So, to prevent that from happening, the best way is to make mom fall in love with someone else. When mom falls in love with another man, even if Gong Tianhao loses his memory and doesn’t remember mom at all, it doesn’t matter.
“Yes, I think this is a good idea!”
“…” Xiao Ling was silent for a moment before he asked, “Little Master, aren’t you afraid that master will kill you?”
Even if master didn’t beat him, the male master would definitely beat him to death after he woke up…
Xiao Letong, “…” It’s not going to be that serious!
