Chapter 12: Yun Yang Has Grown Up
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Yun Xi sent Zhou Lin and his cheap nephew away, she brought her younger brother, Yun Yang, to the back mountain to pick wild fruits.
Along the way, her right eyelid kept twitching wildly as if something was going to happen again.
It was summer now, and many trees that could bear wild fruits had grown on the land that had not been completely regularized. However, the fruits on the trees did not receive any good nutrients due to the harsh growth conditions. As a result, the fruits were small, astringent, and very unpleasant to the taste.
Yun Xi had already climbed over a few trees, and the fruits on the trees were very difficult to swallow. She was fine with it, but she took pity on her younger brother as she looked at his eager gaze under the tree.
In her previous life, due to her aunt’s strength and her mother’s weakness, it had always been her family who worked the most but received the fewest dividends. During the New Year, her eldest aunt’s son, Yun Lang, ate big red apples every day. Yun Yang could only keep swallowing his saliva while watching Yun Lang eat. Then, he returned to his room and took out a sour hawthorn berry to satisfy his craving.
!!
At that time, Yun Xi was angry with herself for being incapable of bringing good things to Yun Yang. Now that she had the [s.p.a.ce] in her hands, she definitely would not let the tragedy of her past life happen again.
“Sister, did you pick any fruits?”
“Yes, I did. The fruits on this tree are big. Wait for me to pick one for you to eat.”
While they were talking, Yun Xi took out an apple from the [s.p.a.ce] and waved at Yun Yang under the tree.
“Yang Yang, catch it.”
Yun Xi threw the apple, which fell into Yun Yang’s arms.
The young man had been waiting under the tree. His face was already red from the sun, and it was even brighter than the apple in his arms.
Looking at her younger brother, Yun Xi felt warm in her heart.
In her previous life, she had a close relationship with her younger brother. The only person who had advised her not to trust Yun Lian was her younger brother. However, she did not listen to his advice back then and blamed him instead. How stupid of her.
In this life, she had to protect her younger brother.
The sun was getting brighter. The two of them seemed full. They then went home together. The atmosphere on the way home was exceptionally warm.
When her younger brother finished eating the last ‘wild’ mulberry, a sentence escaped his dark and cute lips. What he said made Yun Xi view him in a new light.
“Sister, I feel that you’ve changed.”
“Oh. How am I different?”
Yun Xi had never expected that a nine-year-old child would say such a thing.
Children were all very spiritual, especially since Yun Yang had grown up in this kind of environment. He was very good at observing people’s emotions.
“You used to be very quiet. When you felt aggrieved, you would only swallow your feelings. But now, you’ll counter and never let anyone take advantage of you.
“Furthermore, the way you look at Brother Zhou Mo has also changed.”
Yun Xi had not expected that Yun Yang would actually observe her so carefully. Ever since she had been reborn, she had been observing everyone in the family except for her younger brother. This was probably a sense of trust that came from the bottom of her heart.
“Yang Yang, you seem to have grown up!”
“Sister, I actually know that the trees here can’t produce delicious apples and mulberries. Otherwise, they would have been plucked by others long ago.”
It turned out that Yun Yang knew everything. It turned out that he had always been using his own methods to protect her…
This did not only happen after he had grown up. He had started doing so a long time ago…
Yun Xi found it heartwarming.
“However, I like your current self. No matter what happens, I’ll always stand by your side. When I grow up, I’ll always protect you.”
Yun Xi rubbed Yun Yang’s head. It turned out that she was not alone.
Yun Yang smiled shyly, revealing two cute canine teeth.
As the two of them chatted and laughed, they walked to the door of their house.
The door was not closed. Yun Xi heard Yun Lian asking for the interspatial emerald ring. How dare Yun Lian ask for it shamelessly.
She used to think that Yun Lian was shameless, but she did not expect her to be so thick-skinned.
She should expose her sister’s hypocritical face.
“Sister, I’m afraid you can’t take this ring!”
