Chapter 117: Fu Mingyu Goes To Yun Jiao’s Home
Fu Mingyu watched the interaction between the siblings from the side, and a feeling called envy suddenly arose in his heart.
He also had a younger brother, but he was a half-brother.
That brother was only a year younger than him, and they never got along. He even often teased him and framed him for any bad things he did.
Fu Mingyu lowered his eyes and thought, that’s not a brother, that’s an enemy.
As he was thinking, Yun Jiao and Yun Xiaojiu both came up to him, very close.
“Really, why don’t you have any expression on your face?”
Apparently, Yun Jiao had told Yun Xiaojiu about the strange phenomenon she had discovered on Fu Mingyu’s face.
“Did you have no expression when human traffickers captured you and held a knife to your neck?”
Fu Mingyu shook his head, he didn’t know, he couldn’t see his own face.
So… he didn’t know if he had no expression on his face.
Fu Mingyu touched his face: “Is it strange?”
Yun Xiaojiu stroked his chin: “It’s a bit strange.”
“No wonder.”
His childish voice carried a calmness and indifference that did not belong to his age.
“My dad doesn’t like me either.”
“Dad? You mean your father?”
Fu Mingyu nodded.
“Ah? That’s impossible, what kind of father doesn’t like his son.”
He couldn’t imagine it.
His father liked his brothers very much, and Jiaojiao too.
“He said I was a monster.”
That’s very pitiful.
At this moment, Yun Xiaojiu felt deep sympathy for the boy in front of him.
Not only was he disliked by his own father, but he was also called a monster. What kind of terrible father was that?
The siblings studied his face for a long time, even tickling him.
The emotional changes on his face were very small.
But not non-existent.
When tickled, he still pursed his lips and frowned.
His reactions were just different from normal people.
Yun Xiaojiu patted his shoulder: “It’s okay brother, we don’t dislike you.”
Yun Jiao nodded from the side: “You are good-looking, and not having expressions doesn’t matter.”
Being praised so directly, Fu Mingyu’s ears turned slightly red, but his expression remained unchanged.
“Then what about your grandpa? Aren’t you worried about coming here alone? Which hospital are you at? We can take you back.”
Fu Mingyu said: “The military hospital on the island.”
Yun Xiaojiu’s eyes widened: “Ah, I know, isn’t that where soldiers live?”
His tone was a little excited: “You’re at a military hospital, tell me quickly, are the navy very majestic? My eldest brother and second brother are also going to join the army, they’ve already passed the physical examination.”
Fu Mingyu: “Joining the army is very tiring.”
There was a lot of training every day.
“What of it.”
Yun Xiaojiu and Yun Jiao didn’t care.
Yun Jiao: “Dad and the others going out to sea fishing is also very tiring.”
Yun Xiaojiu: “Working in the mountains is also very tiring.”
“Joining the army is glorious, just wait, when my eldest and second brothers join the army, our entire village will be so envious of us.”
Fu Mingyu looked at Yun Jiao: “Do you like soldiers too?”
Yun Jiao tilted her head and thought: “I like them?”
Influenced by the times, she said: “Everyone likes them.”
Fu Mingyu nodded.
“Do you want to come to our house to play first? I’ll tell you, we went to Grandma’s house the other day and caught a huge wild boar…”
Yun Jiao unceremoniously handed the small bucket to Fu Mingyu to hold, and she picked up the tabby cat.
“This is Boss, you have to call him Boss.”
Fu Mingyu and the tabby cat stared at each other for a moment.
The tabby cat disdainfully twitched its whiskers and turned its face away.
Fu Mingyu: “It doesn’t like me.”
Yun Xiaojiu chattered: “If you call it Boss, it will like you. Boss is a very individual tabby cat. It can catch wild chickens and wild rabbits, and fish too.”
Fu Mingyu said expressionlessly: “Boss.”
The tabby cat twitched its ears and whiskers, but didn’t make a sound.
Yun Jiao pinched its paw: “He’s already calling you Boss, meow.”
The tabby cat then reluctantly meowed.
At this moment, although Fu Mingyu’s face still didn’t show much expression, he seemed to have softened considerably.
They returned home, and Yun Jiao and Yun Xiaojiu each took one of Fu Mingyu’s hands and ran into the house.
“Granny, Grandpa…”
“Dad, Mom, Eldest Brother, Second Brother…”
They called out to everyone in the family one by one, but only Granny Yun, Shen Yunlian, Yun Xiaowu, and Yun Liuliu were at home.
“Jiaojiao, little sister!”
Yun Xiaowu, with a very dark face, rushed over and hugged Yun Jiao, spinning her around.
His eyes were bright.
Yun Jiao pushed his face open with her little hands: “Fifth Brother, you’re dirty.”
His face, hands, and body were all a little black.
Yun Xiaowu chuckled: “I was watching the fire over there, it was smoky.”
No wonder he was dirty.
“Who is he?”
Yun Xiaowu and the others, just like Yun Xiaojiu, asked the same question.
And they circled Fu Mingyu, sizing him up.
They didn’t recognize him; he was a good-looking child, and his sister had brought him back.
The brothers immediately became vigilant.
Could this be a wild brother that Jiaojiao was looking for?
“Jiaojiao, you…”
Yun Jiao quickly replied: “I wasn’t looking for a brother outside, I only have you nine brothers and my cousin.”
Yun Xiaowu and the others were satisfied.
Their Jiaojiao was so obedient and good-looking, there were countless boys in the village who wanted to be her brother.
“Jiaojiao brought a guest back?”
Granny Yun wiped her hands on her apron: “Oh, what a good-looking young man. Come in and sit.”
Fu Mingyu followed Yun Jiao into the house.
Surrounded by so many people, he sat very properly on the small stool.
The clothes he was wearing were also very clean and neat. His little face had snow-white skin, and he looked like a handsome little immortal child.
He slightly observed the Yun family’s home.
The house was still made of adobe, and the ground was tamped earth. There were no tiles, not even a cement floor, and it was not very level.
But it was cleaned very thoroughly.
Because there were so many people, the entire space felt cramped.
The table was made of wood and was very old. One of the table legs was broken, and a stone was used to prop it up.
The table was also wiped very clean.
It was a very dilapidated house, but it was evident that the people living there had kept this small space tidy and clean.
There were some decorations in some places.
For example, strings of shells hung on the window, and small wood carvings were placed on the table.
This was a very warm home.
It was different from the large, luxurious, yet cold home he used to live in, where he felt like a transient visitor.
“Are you hungry? Do you want a rice ball?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
When Granny Yun spoke, all the children except Fu Mingyu responded enthusiastically.
“Granny, I want soy sauce rice balls, with extra soy sauce.”
“Got it, got it.”
Rice balls were actually just small balls of rice shaped like eggs.
Even though it was just rice, eating it this way seemed extraordinarily delicious.
