Proofreader: Jesse
The next day Wu Han Ying directly went back to the dorm after he finished his classes, his family called hih he really did not want to go, he really hadn't been home for over aand went home
Before he left the dorame to let everyone know that he would not be online over the weekend Saturday is the perfect day to relax by playing the gaht about his 8-year-old cousin at hoet it, it was better not to let her smash his laptop
Wu Han Ying's home was not very close from school, but it also wasn't considered far either; he just needed to take three different buses to get home; the total trip took about 2 hours and 30 minutes 5 o'clock is rush hour, so it is inevitable that the buses he was riding would be stuck in a traffic jam
When Wu Han Ying got onto the second bus his phone started to ring After looking at the caller ID, he really didn't want to pick up He had no choice but to take the call because he knew the ringing wouldn't stop until he did
After briefly saying a few greetings, his aunt asked, ”What time will you be back? Do you want your uncle to pick you up? He happens to be around that area?”
Wu Han Ying said no need to bother him; the bus has just reached the station that is close to home
The other line also said if you don't need a pickup it will be around 7 or 8 o'clock before you get home That is pretty late to have to wait for you so everyone can have dinner together; ith your grandood for the they weren't going to wait for him
Wu Han Ying replied with ”uh-huh” as he was exiting the bus and added that he will eat out before coht
It was soot off the bus, it started to get dark early in the winter season; even though the street lights were turned on, they weren't giving off a lot of light
Wu Han Ying was getting slightly tired froh the people on the buses and he had also started to develop aaround he was starting to feel lazy so he decided to go ho one ive him a feast, he doubted that he would be able to eat any
Right when he made a turn at the alley of his home, a black shadow fiercely rushed over to him The quick motion scared him since it was dark and he couldn't see clearly At first he thought it was a stray cat, but then he felt so
”Big brother!”
Wu Han Ying was surprised to hear a child's voice co; when he looked he saw a little child wearing a lavender jacket, his height was just about his leg
”Why are you here?” His eyes lit up in recognition, he remembered last week he had encountered this little bun {baozi//toddler} in front of the school cafeteria; he vaguely remembered that it was Professor Xia's nephew
Thinking about the last ti Professor Xia as ”Xiao Chen Chen” he couldn't help reloohout the encounter
”I came here with Little Uncle to visit Xiao Chen Chen, but then Little Uncle disappeared and it's so dark ah, I' his face on his leg as he spoke in a pitiful tone He even tugged onto his leg, honestly he looked so indescribably heartbreaking
Wu Han Ying was stunned for aout his hands gesturing he wanted to be picked up He obliged by bending down to pick him up, ”Are you lost? I think I still have Teacher Xia's phone nuive him a call so he can come pick you up”
”Teacher Xia is Xiao Chen Chen, right?” Little bun hooked its arms around his neck, ”Don't call Xiao Chen Chen! Call Little Uncle! Xiao Chen Chen will say that I ran around causing trouble, he'll spank me”
”Uh” Wu Han Ying listened to the na from such a sweet innocent child in such a cute tone, his brain iht of Professor Xia's paralyzed cool facehis brain really could not handle that shock =口=
”How about I take you to eat so felt that his tone right now sounds soto abduct a little kid
”Hungry~” At the htened up, with one ar's neck his body deflated completely on his shoulder
Wu Han Ying looked around, there weren't any small business restaurants nearby, the only place he could find was the Qing Feng bun shop in front of them; he would have to make do with it
”Let's go eat so a lovely little bun to go eat buns
They ordered tls of porridge, a few buns and a stack of side dishes; Wu Han Ying took the first piece with his chopsticks so that the little bun could start to serve himself food, then he sat back and looked for his phone
{Translator Input: A little custo took a piece of food first is because in Chinese custoet to have the first taste/bite; since Wu Han Ying is older than little bun, so on the table, Wu Han Ying has the right to take his first bite and then little bun can grab his food after Wu Han Ying is done This custoht to every little kid as a way to respect their elders by always let the elder be the first to try the food Just like in America, we teach kids to say ”thank you” when someone compliments the; to say ”please” when they ask for a favor or ask for so; and to say ”sorry” when they make a mistake}
He re of the school year, he had saved Xia Chen's eiven the other a call, he did save it in his phone Scrolling down the phone book he finally found the other's phone number, he tried to call but no one picked up
After his third try, Wu Han Ying was about to hang up when the call connected, he did not have time to react before a voice answered on the other line, ”hello”
He wondered whether it was the phone's distortion or what, but Xia Chen's voice sounded very different froentle
”Professor Xiauh,” said Wu Han Ying as he looked at the little toddler sitting next to him, he watched as he stuffed himself with buns and aardly continued, ”That is, your nephew is here with me”
When he said that he felt so 囧, his words sounded soI have your son, if you want hi five million to xxxX
”It seeloomily added
”Where are you two at?” asked Xia Chen impatiently, but his voice seemed to be relieved
Wu Han Ying quickly said the address and because he was afraid that the other ht not be able to find theood measure
After hanging up the call, he inexplicably heaved out a sigh of relief Wu Han Ying looked at the little bun eating happily next to hiister and ordered a few more buns; after he returned to the table the two of theether
