Chapter 242: A Pool Of Grievance
Nan Yuanman sprawled in the car seat with her round little belly sticking out, nodding upon hearing this: “Right.”
“He has very heavy yin energy on him, just like when Sixth Brother went to the hospital for an adventure before and came back marinated in yin energy. Strangely, he has no ghost energy on him, and his own fortune hasn’t been affected at all.”
Nan Yuanman recalled Zhou Baiyu’s facial physiognomy that she had just seen: “His facial physiognomy doesn’t look like that of some great villain either, but… looking at him feels just like looking at a paper figure.”
“Paper figure?”
“Yeah, Sixth Brother, don’t you think his smile looks just like the face of the paper figures I usually draw, all fake and measured?” While saying this, Nan Yuanman used her two chubby little hands to pull up the corners of her mouth, speaking unclearly:
“Just like this, hehe.”
Feng Jingcheng looked over and saw a little dumpling with a forced smile. He couldn’t help but chuckle, reaching out to rub her head: “Perfection, you are just too adorable.”
Nan Yuanman grinned foolishly: “I think I’m very adorable too.”
“If you put it that way, I really hadn’t noticed before. I just thought this guy was pretty impressive for keeping that smile all the time… cough cough, amazing, doesn’t even feel tired.”
Feng Jingcheng touched his chin, recalling Zhou Baiyu’s every move in the restaurant just now. He did feel that the smile on that person’s face was too deliberate and too fake.
“And I don’t like the way he looks at me either.” Nan Yuanman lazily flipped herself over and muttered softly: “The way he looks at me is just like the way I usually look at cake.”
Although that look only existed for a brief moment, Nan Yuanman still caught it.
Feng Jingcheng didn’t hear Nan Yuanman’s later mutter, but that didn’t stop him from nodding in agreement: “I don’t like him either. I really don’t know what Xie Shuyao sees in that man.”
Nan Yuanman didn’t know about this. She was just a five-year-old baby, and adults’ romances were still too far away from her.
While the two siblings were talking, the car slowly drove into a villa district in Shangjing and arrived at Zhou Baiyu’s home.
As soon as Nan Yuanman got out of the car, she saw a particularly familiar figure at the villa doorway.
Zhou Wenxuan’s eyes were full of surprise as he waved vigorously at Nan Yuanman, then rushed over like a little cannonball: “Wow wow wow! Sister Yuanman! I thought the person Little Uncle mentioned was just someone with the same name! I didn’t expect it to really be you!”
He pouted aggrievedly: “This morning I even had Mom call your father to ask if you were free. He said you were busy, and I thought we couldn’t play together today!”
Nan Yuanman was somewhat speechless: “…” Mosquito Brother was a bit too persistent.
Zhou Baiyu was somewhat surprised: “Wenxuan, you know Miss Nan?”
“Of course I know her! We’re good friends! Right?” Zhou Wenxuan proudly raised his little chin, looking at Nan Yuanman expectantly.
Looking at Zhou Wenxuan’s clear and innocent eyes, Nan Yuanman moved her mouth but ultimately didn’t say the words of refusal to hurt him, quickly changing the subject: “I want to play in the water. Take me to play in the water?”
Zhou Wenxuan nodded excitedly in an instant: “Great great! Let me tell you, my little uncle’s swimming pool is super big, and the water inside is warm…”
He eagerly grabbed Nan Yuanman and ran.
Xie Shuyao chuckled: “Kids are still kids after all. As soon as there’s something fun, they forget everything else.”
Zhou Baiyu smiled lightly: “Yeah, children are the purest and cleanest creatures in the world.”
He looked at Feng Jingcheng, who was watching Nan Yuanman’s receding figure with a worried face: “Young Master Feng, want to head to the swimming pool to relax?”
Feng Jingcheng nodded readily: “Sure, let’s go.”
Xie Shuyao yawned lazily: “I just ate my fill, so I won’t swim. I’ll go to the swimming pool side to watch those two little ones. You guys go change clothes.”
Zhou Baiyu: “Okay, sorry to trouble you, Yao Yao.”
Xie Shuyao smiled and kissed his cheek, then stepped forward to follow the two little ones who were chattering ahead.
Nan Yuanman of course hadn’t forgotten why she came to Zhou Baiyu’s house, but, but…
Swimming pool!
A swimming pool as big as a countryside pond!
She had never seen one!
Actually, there was also a swimming pool in Feng Family Manor, but among the Feng family members, only Feng Jingcheng had free time, and he was a landlubber who didn’t like playing in water. After the pool was cleaned and disinfected, it hadn’t been used many times.
Nan Yuanman was young, and Feng Congqian wasn’t comfortable letting her go to such a dangerous place like the swimming pool alone, so he forgot to tell her…
And so, the little country girl who had never seen a swimming pool was attracted by Zhou Wenxuan’s description, and in a daze followed him to the huge swimming pool he described.
Looking at the square swimming pool in front of her, as big as a basketball court, the first thing Nan Yuanman saw wasn’t the crystal-clear water, but a full pool of thick ghost energy and grievance.
Nan Yuanman stopped in front of the swimming pool, her steamed bun face showing a hint of shock.
Zhou Wenxuan mistakenly thought she was stunned by the swimming pool and couldn’t help but proudly raise his chin: “See, I didn’t lie to you, right? The water in this swimming pool is drawn from a famous hot spring, and it’s warm. It’s very cozy to soak in during winter!”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but squat by the swimming pool and reach out to play with the water.
Just as his hand was about to touch the water in the swimming pool, Nan Yuanman couldn’t help but grab his shoulders and pull him back a bit: “Don’t touch.”
Zhou Wenxuan looked at her bewilderedly: “Huh? Why not? The water is clean.”
So much ghost energy and grievance—how was it clean?
Nan Yuanman anxiously scratched her buttocks. She couldn’t just tell Zhou Wenxuan directly, so after holding back for a while, she retorted: “How is it clean? Anyway, anyway, you’re not allowed to touch it. If you touch it, then don’t come near me anymore!”
The baffled Zhou Wenxuan felt somewhat aggrieved. He recalled the scene last night outside the club when he met Nan Yuanman, and couldn’t help but pout and ask her: “Sister Yuanman, do you dislike me too?”
Nan Yuanman: “Why would I dislike you?”
Zhou Wenxuan fiddled with his hand, lowering his head and saying softly: “Because I’m dumb.”
The Zhou family children all called him a fool and didn’t want to play with him. They would even come over to push him and bully him when they saw him playing alone.
Luckily, there was a brother who chased away those bad kids for him and played building blocks with him. Otherwise, he would be heartbroken to death.
Now, he had finally met a child who didn’t look at him with that stupid gaze, and Zhou Wenxuan really wanted to be good friends with Nan Yuanman.
But… she seemed to really dislike him.
Xie Shuyao walked in and saw the two little ones who seemed to be arguing, so she hurried over and asked: “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Before Zhou Wenxuan could speak, a sharp baby cry sounded in Xie Shuyao’s ear, making her stumble and her body uncontrollably fall toward the swimming pool.
