Chapter 140: No escape

“What’s your name? My name is Mo Feng. I’m ten years old. Before asking someone else’s name, you should declare your own first. I know the rules.”

“…Liu Yusheng, sixteen years old.” Liu Yusheng was in between tears and laughter. Why was this half grown boy here?

“Oh,” the boy nodded. “You’re a few years older than me. I should call you Sister Liu. No, I have to call you Aunt Liu.”

If he dared to call her sister, his uncle might chop him up. He was a younger generation, right?

“…” Liu Yusheng decided that she didn’t want to talk to this little kid.

How could she be an aunt?

“Where do you live? I’m living here, but both my parents are dead, so I usually live alone.”

“Who are the people in your family? Are they treating you well? There’s no one left in my family, just an uncle, and he doesn’t care much about me.”

“Do you have any brothers or sisters? Will they take you out to play? It would be lonely if they don’t. Like me, I never had anyone to play with.”

Every time the boy asked a question, he would automatically share his current status on the issue. It was probably a firm adherence to his so-called “rules”.

At first, Liu Yusheng just sat there and listened to the boy’s monologue on the windowsill, but as she listened, she felt a little pity for him.

He seemed to be very talkative, because no one usually talked to him.

And if he could enter the guest house without being stopped, he must belong to this house.

“Why aren’t you answering me? That’s rude, you know? How can you do this when I’ve shared to you everything I have!” The boy frowned in annoyance.

Liu Yusheng poured two cups of water and walked to the window sill. She handed one to the teenager and drank one herself.

“You must be thirsty after talking for so long. Drink a mouthful of water to moisten your throat.”

“…” The boy took the cup of water and drank it all. His throat felt indeed much more comfortable.

“Do you want to know about my family?” Leaning against the window sill and looking across the window from the boy, Liu Yusheng smiled, “There’s too much to say and it probably won’t be finished for three days and three nights. Are you sure you want to listen?”

“Of course I do! You talk, I listen.”

“Okay, I’ll start then. Have you ever heard of Xinghua Village? A beautiful place where the people are extremely nice, hardworking, simple, and kind. It is also where the winery that is famous for its Xinghua fruit wine is…”

The young woman’s voice was very clear, and her speech was neither fast nor slow, with a kind of soft tail tone, which was pleasant to the ears.

The boy listened and became fascinated.

The next moment, the clear and gentle tone of the young girl’s voice filled the guest house, as well as the occasional scream of the boy.

“Whoa! Your grandfather is so old yet still climbs trees to pick fruit?”

“Gee, your grandmother is too powerful. She can keep hitting people with a broom!”

“How could your father be so stupid as to throw the farming tools to your second uncle so he could hug you?”
