Chapter 109 - 『Until The Sun Rises From The Horizon』

"Shishu!"

Small legs ran towards to where the redhead is. It took a while, but Cale is very patient when it comes to Jin Ling.

"Did you ran away from your father again?"

Jin Ling huffs, making Cale look at him in amusement.

"It's not running away when A-die doesn't know, Shishu!"

Cale doesn't know whether he should be proud of his nephew or laugh at his mischief.

"It seems that you're taking a lot of my traits, A-Ling." He says before starting to walk towards the kitchen room while carrying Jin Ling.

"Of course! Shishu is my whole favorite person in the world!"

Cale could feel his heart swell in fondness, the affection he have for this child is immeasurable.

"Your father would cry to me once he learns what you just said."

Jin Ling tilts his head childishly, as if he was mocking his uncle.

"Well, when did Shishu told all the secrets between us to A-die?"

Bullseye.

"...You are one manipulative kid."

Jin Ling smiles brightly, taking what Cale had just said a compliment.

"I learned from the best, Shishu!"

As the sun hid behind the clouds and offered a fleeting shade, Jin Ling continued to talk to his uncle while Cale simply indulged his nephew.

It's been a while since he felt at peace like this.

"Ah right, your birthday is coming. What gift do you want, A-Ling?"

Jin Ling visibly perked up at the redhead's words, as if he was waiting for it his whole life.

"Lotus pork rib soup!"

The redhead chuckles for a while, finding his answer a bit too similar with Jiang Cheng.

"Good thing I cooked that first. What else?"

Jin Ling hummed, thinking hard.

"Oh! Can we eat with A-niang and shishu and Wei Ying-shishu?"

Cale huffs, "We already do that every week...well, what's wrong in visiting again? What else, A-Ling?"

The child in his arms pondered so hard that there's already a crease between his eyebrows.

"That's all!"

My, what a humble kid he is.

"Are you sure you don't want anything else? Toys? Candies?"

Jin Ling couldn't help but scratch his head. What is the use of more toys when he could barely play with all he had in his room?

"Grandma will punish us both if we eat another sweet food for the week, Shishu."

When he mentioned Madam Yu, Cale couldn't help but shiver in fear. Right, they did that once and Cale's arms almost fell off on their own with how long he raised them.

"Right, let's cross that out from the list."

When they arrived, the wafting smell of a soup and a pie mingled in the air, making both Cale and Jin Ling's stomach growl in unison.

The two looked at each other in the eyes before they laughed.

"Let's head out fast, shall we?"

Jin Ling nodded enthusiastically, "Mm!"
