Chapter 610: 611, Pengpeng is a little cutie (first update)

Chu Xiu kept saying that she was her own sister.

And it made sense.

But if things were really as Chu Xiu said, and they were indeed siblings,

then wouldn’t that mean that Chu Liyan and Zhao Yan were not her biological parents?

Or could it be that Chu Xiu was the child they had secretly given birth to? Had they anticipated this day would come and thus hidden the child away upon birth?

The information was overwhelming.

Chu Jin suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Sister, believe me, we really are siblings," Chu Xiu continued.

Because of his extreme agitation, the scabs on his wounds had torn open again, and blood was emerging steadily.

But he, as if oblivious to the pain, tugged at the corner of Chu Jin’s clothes, looking at her with an eager gaze.

Chu Jin quickly picked up some gauze from the table to stop his bleeding, "Don’t talk for now, focus on healing. We can talk about this after your wounds heal."

Out of nowhere, a brother appeared, and his identity was wrapped in mystery.

Chu Jin was having a hard time digesting it all.

"Okay," Chu Xiu nodded, no longer speaking.

Chu Xiu knew that Chu Jin wouldn’t send him away immediately.

How could he prove to her that he really was her brother?

The family had fallen.

Some clan members had died, others were wounded. It had been so tough to finally find his sister, but she didn’t believe that he was her brother.

The sorcerer had once said that the sister with the Bloodline of Fire Bathing was the hope of the Chu family.

The sister would definitely be able to rejuvenate the Chu family.

He had to recover quickly and convince his sister.

Then they could return together and restore the family’s glory!

Just then, a servant came in carrying a bowl of chicken soup, "Miss."

Chu Jin took the chicken soup and looked at Chu Xiu, "Do you need me to feed you?"

For some reason, Chu Jin always found it hard to be harsh when facing this pale-faced youth.

She would unconsciously treat him well.

Even her tone of voice was several degrees gentler than usual.

"Sister, no need, I can drink it myself," Chu Xiu took the chicken soup and gulped it down.

In less than fifteen seconds.

The bowl of chicken soup was empty.

"Still hungry?" Chu Jin asked with a smile.

"Hungry," Chu Xiu replied cautiously, "Sister, may I have another bowl?"

"Of course," Chu Jin nodded gently, turning to the servant with a light smile, "Aunt Fu, could you please bring another bowl of chicken soup and prepare some dishes to bring over?"

"Of course, Miss," Aunt Fu replied as she turned to leave.

After Aunt Fu left, Chu Jin looked at Chu Xiu and said in a gentle tone, "You’ll stay here for the time being. If you need anything, just tell the servants at home, don’t be polite."

Chu Xiu nodded, "Okay, Sister, I got it."

"You should rest now, I’ll be off," she said and then turned to leave.

"Sister, take care," Chu Xiu called after her retreating figure.

He could feel it; his sister was beginning to accept him.

Two hours later.

Chu Jin arrived at the guest room holding a paper bag.

Chu Xiu wasn’t sleeping; he was leaning against the headboard, reading a book.

The sunlight streamed through the window, casting a soft halo around the youth, creating a warm and especially pleasing scene.

"Jin, I must say," Zi murmured from the Purple Thunder space, "this newfound brother of yours does look quite a bit like you."

From a side view.

They did indeed resemble each other.

He even had that unbothered demeanor very similar to Jin’s.

"Sis, you’ve come." When Chu Jin walked in, Chu Xiu quickly set aside the book she was holding and looked up at Chu Jin.

"I’ve brought you two sets of clothes to change into." Chu Jin placed the paper bag on the nightstand by the bed.

"Thank you, Sister." Chu Xiu politely thanked her.

It felt so good to have a sister.

In the past, it was always just me.

This was the first time my sister bought clothes for me, I must hurry up, take a bath, and put them on.

Chu Xiu thought to herself, feeling delighted.

After delivering the clothes, Chu Jin left the guest room.

At the same time, Chu Xiu, hugging the clothes Chu Jin bought for him, limped into the washroom.

What Chu Xiu didn’t know was that when Chu Jin left his room, she quietly snatched a strand of his hair.

Actually, Chu Jin also really wanted to know if Chu Xiu was truly blood-related to her.

After leaving the villa, Chu Jin headed in the direction of the hospital.

She wasn’t in a hurry and called Mr. Mo while walking to tell him about what happened last night, of course, including the encounter with Chu Xiu.

However, she downplayed the danger of last night.

She emphasized telling Mr. Mo about Chu Xiu.

"A brother?" Mo Zhixuan’s voice sounded somewhat surprised, "What’s his name?"

He knew Chu Jin wasn’t an unreasonable person.

If she called him her brother, then this matter was almost certainly true.

"His name is Chu Xiu," Chu Jin continued, "as in the ’Xiu’ from the tapestry of heaven and earth." Her tone sounded subdued, but it actually concealed a flutter of excitement; one could feel she was very satisfied with this brother.

Although, she still wasn’t sure whether he really was her brother or not.

"Chu Xiu? That does have a sibling ring to it. By the way, how old is the kid this year?" Mo Zhixuan’s voice remained calm and still pleasing to the ear.

"Thirteen," Chu Jin kicked a small stone on the side of the road as she spoke, "and I’m on my way to the hospital with his hair right now."

There was a pause on the other end before he asked, "Going for a DNA test?"

"Yes," Chu Jin nodded.

"Alright, then I’ll wait for your result."

The two talked all the way until just before hanging up, when Chu Jin asked, "When will you be coming back?"

Throughout these many days, Chu Jin had never asked this question during their calls.

For a moment, Mr. Mo felt surprisingly flattered.

He first chuckled softly, then asked, "What, miss me?"

"Don’t flatter yourself, I just asked casually," Chu Jin’s face burned with embarrassment, "I won’t talk to you anymore, I’m hanging up first!"

Without waiting for Mr. Mo to say anything, she hung up the phone.

Even after the call ended, her heart was still pounding.

On the other end, Mr. Mo saw the disconnected call and chuckled helplessly.

Chu Jin arrived at the bus stop.

Just then, the bus was arriving, and she was just about to step on when she heard a sweet, childlike voice behind her.

"Jin, Jin..."

Chu Jin’s eyebrows lifted joyously as she turned around and saw the little girl trotting towards her with her plump little legs, panting heavily.

"Woof woof woof!"

Following the little girl was a giant dog.

Blackie the big dog ran with his big ears flopping comically, looking utterly endearing.

Having not seen the little girl for several months since their last farewell at Lawless City, Chu Jin’s eyes brimmed with joy that threatened to spill over.

"Pengpeng! Bao Bao!" Chu Jin squatted down, opened her arms, and welcomed the little girl’s embrace.

Just as the little girl was about to rush into Chu Jin’s arms,

Bao Bao sped up, darting past the little girl like an arrow shot from a bow, directly burrowing into Chu Jin’s embrace and started to lick her face wildly.

Wagging its tail and shaking its head.

"Stinky Bao Bao, how many times have I told you, you’re not allowed to kiss Jin’s face!" The little girl was tugging at Bao Bao’s tail, pulling hard to get it off.

"Woof woof woof!" Although Bao Bao was reluctant, it was still pulled away by the little girl.

The little girl was wearing a pink, fuzzy onesie today, with a hat on her head, the hat’s two fox ears drooping down, matching her adorably lethal features, cuteness overload.

Isn’t she just adorable?

Looking at her, Chu Jin felt the maternal glow deep in her heart being ignited.

How is such an adorable child not hers?

The little girl blinked her glistening big eyes, "Jin, what are you looking at?"

"Looking at how cute you’ve grown," Chu Jin reached out and pinched the little girl’s chubby cheeks, "Pengpeng, how did you grow up to be like this?"

The little girl looped her arms around Chu Jin’s neck and kissed her on the face, then said, "Jin, with that in mind, don’t you want to take Pengpeng home with you?"

Take home?

Chu Jin was amused by these uninhibited words and laughed, "Pengpeng, the word ’take’ is only used for objects, you’re not using it right."

The little girl blinked her big eyes, her expression innocent as she said, "But I heard Daddy say that. He pointed at an uncle and said very angrily," the little girl imitated Mo Qianjue’s usual demeanor, pointed at Bao Bao, and said fiercely, "You’re really no good!"

Being scolded for no reason, Bao Bao whimpered a bit aggrieved.

It’s not an object!

Phooey!

It is an object!

Oh, my...

The little owner’s words had Bao Bao all confused, so is it an object or not?

Bao Bao whined a few more times in distress.

Chu Jin was amused by her again.

"Your daddy hasn’t graduated from kindergarten yet, we shouldn’t learn from him," Chu Jin reached out and lightly scraped the little girl’s nose.

"Okay," the little girl nodded, then continued to ask, "Jin, with that in mind, would you like to lead Pengpeng home?"

Well, the term should now be right.

"Want to, of course I do," Chu Jin played along, nodding her head, "But would Pengpeng like to be led home by me?"

"Jin, actually I’m easy to lead, and it comes with a buy one, get one free offer," the little girl batted her innocent large eyes and started baiting Chu Jin.

The sticker packs had said.

From ancient times true love proved elusive, yet cunning plans capture hearts with ease.

Well, as long as she tried hard, she was certain she could trap Jin into taking her home.

Chu Jin couldn’t help but laugh, "What, you’re going to throw in a dowry with yourself too?"

The little girl nodded earnestly, "Yes, yes, I’ll come with a dowry of a daddy, and even a Soul Resurrection Grass. Jin, Daddy said that as long as you marry him, he will give you the Soul Resurrection Grass."

Chu Jin squatted down, eye-level with the little girl, looked at her earnestly, and said, "No way, Jin already has a fiancé now. One must be faithful and steadfast, not abandon in disorder after starting something. Otherwise, one would get struck by lightning."

"Jin, I don’t want you to be struck by lightning." The little girl, frightened, clung tightly to Chu Jin’s neck. After a little while, she quietly lifted her head and added, "Jin, actually, there’s no need to worry even if you’re engaged. You can break off the engagement."

Daddy had said, even if you’re married, you can still get a divorce.

What’s this about being struck by lightning?

Jin is just trying to fool her—innocent and adorable Bao Bao.

She knows much more!

She’s not that easily fooled!

This kind of ghost story is good enough to deceive a three-year-old child...

"Pengpeng, it’s wrong to steal someone’s heart like that," Chu Jin pinched the little girl’s cheek.

"Jin, my daddy is beloved by everyone he meets, even birds stand still to admire him. He’s definitely much handsomer than your fiancé! And, my daddy also has an adorable baby that is the strongest and cutest in the universe. Jin, won’t you really consider my daddy?"

While the little girl was praising Mo Qianjue, she also incidentally complimented herself.

So it seems, self-love is genetic.

Moreover, as the little girl said the words "the strongest and cutest in the universe..." Bao Bao also lifted its dog head, bulging its eyes, and looked dazedly at Chu Jin as if it was saying:

"There’s also an invincibly adorable Bao Bao!"

"Really not considering it," Chu Jin looked at the little girl and shook her head seriously.

Since it was an impossible matter, she would not give the little loli any false guidance.

Hearing this, the little loli instantly drooped her head, a look of regret on her face as she said, "Jin, you’re really going to lose out on this deal! I’ve heard that your fiancé is both old and ugly, totally not worthy of you. Jin, with you being such a delicate rose, do you really want to stick yourself into a pile of stinky cow dung?"

"Pfft!"

Chu Jin was immediately amused by the little loli’s comment.

Stinky cow dung!?

She actually called Mr. Mo a pile of stinky cow dung!

What would Mr. Mo’s reaction be if he heard this?

Would he be so angry that he’d want to hit someone?

Zi touched her chin and clicked her tongue, "Truly the fearlessness of a calf that’s not afraid of tigers!" To dare call Mr. Mo stinky cow dung, was her courage as big as the sky?

"Jin, what are you laughing at?" The little loli scratched her head in confusion.

Chu Jin, holding back laughter, continued, "Actually, Jin’s fiancé is... quite handsome, and I’ll introduce you to him when I get the chance."

"I don’t want to," the little loli haughtily lifted her cute little head, "my daddy’s rival is my rival. I don’t want to get to know my rival!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little loli added, "Jin, you’re just comforting yourself. Grandpa Mo is old and ugly for sure, not worthy of you at all. My daddy, on the other hand, is young and handsome... Aren’t you going to reconsider? Once this village passes, you won’t find this shop again."

The little loli came this time to be responsible for enticing Jin back home.

Therefore, she wouldn’t pass up any opportunity to praise her daddy.

Even her daddy had said so, that Jin’s fiancé was both old and ugly, old enough to be her grandfather.

Such a person, how could he be worthy of Jin, who was young, beautiful, the darling of all, blooming wherever seen, and making birds pause in their flight?

The beautiful Jin and the equally beautiful daddy were a perfect match!

"Grandpa Mo?" Chu Jin continued to laugh, "You can say that around me, but you definitely can’t call him that when you see your Grandpa Mo."

"Jin, could it be that you’ve been ’Ghost-covered Eyes’?" The little loli waved her hand in front of Chu Jin’s face.

Otherwise, why would Jin willingly marry that old and ugly Grandpa Mo, instead of her daddy?

Her daddy was someone whom lots of aunties would queue up to marry!

Jin truly must not know just how sought after her daddy was.

But it’s fine, as daddy said, Jin really wanted that Soul Resurrection Grass from their house, and with the Soul Grass in hand, she was sure Jin would definitely become her mommy...

The little loli dreamt beautifully about it.

If Jin became her mommy, she’d definitely wake up from her dreams laughing.

The little loli continued to think to herself, smiling foolishly, her drool almost flowing out.

"What’s with the silly smile?" Chu Jin pinched the little loli’s nose, shattering her beautiful dream.

"Nothing, nothing," the little loli hurriedly returned to her senses, then continued, "Jin, where are you heading to?"

Chu Jin casually replied, "To the hospital."

The little loli immediately stood on her tiptoes, gazing at Chu Jin with her sparkling eyes narrowed into slits, "Then can I go with you? You’ll definitely be bored if you go alone, and my daddy gave me two days off. I want to go with you for fun."

"Sure," Chu Jin held the little loli’s hand, "then let’s go."

An adult and a child, hand in hand, walked forward.

A large black dog followed behind, ensuring their safety.

As they were about to reach the hospital door, Chu Jin stopped by a nearby flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers, since she was going to the hospital, she might as well pay Zhao Yan a visit.

Since pets weren’t allowed in the hospital, Blackie was left waiting outside.

Blackie looked adorable and simple.

It attracted quite a few children to pet it.

Since both Chu Jin and the little loli had exceptionally astonishing appearances.

It was almost otherworldly.

Through their entire journey, they attracted the gaze and turning heads of many people.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

"Don’t you think that little girl looks somewhat familiar?"

"I also feel like she looks familiar."

Someone even took out their phone to compare on the screen.

The heroically virtuous woman on the screen was clearly the same person as this little girl in front of them.
