Chapter 730: Chapter 729 The Eagle Catches the Chick_1 Chapter 730: Chapter 729 The Eagle Catches the Chick_1 “Little Wang, do you have something to say to me?” Wei Qin leaned lazily against the back of his chair, the leaves above gently swaying in the summer breeze. The sun filtered through the sparse foliage, casting dappled light on Wei Qin’s fair and handsome face. With his eyes half-closed, he exuded an air of serene, solitary detachment from the worldly affairs.

Little Wang sighed softly in his heart. He always had such insight into others’ feelings.

“Wei Qin, should we meet up with Major General Huo? He never fulfilled his promise of treating you after you helped him last time!” Little Wang knew that when Wei Qin was with Huo Beijiang, he felt genuinely relaxed.

That’s why he was willing to do so.

Mentioning Huo Beijiang, a hint of a smile appeared on Wei Qin’s face, “That guy! Ever since we were kids, all he’s done is lie to me. He’s made so many promises, none of which came to fruition.” He even promised to take him to climb the Great Wall when they were kids!

But he packed his bags and left the very night they made that plan.

It frustrated him. For a period of time, he even thought that Huo Beijiang was intentionally avoiding taking him to the Great Wall by running away!

Little Wang: “…”

Who would have thought Major General Huo, who appears all dignified, righteous, and charismatic, would turn out to be a compulsive liar.

Clearly that was very disappointing.

“Then why did you agree to give him the permit! I knew it, you shouldn’t have.” Little Wang grumbled indignantly. He felt that Wei Qin had been tricked by Major General Huo, and felt wronged for him.

“I don’t mind being lied to by him!” Wei Qin carelessly replied.

Little Wang now felt even more sympathy for Wei Qin. It was too pitiful. He had no childhood playmates, and despite knowing he was being tricked, remained willing to be fooled. If Major General Huo wasn’t a grown man, Little Wang would suspect Wei Qin harbored feelings for him.

“What’s with that look in your eyes?” Wei Qin asked without looking up, watching kids on a small plaza playing a game of Eagle and Chicks.

“Nothing, nothing at all! I didn’t have a particular look.” Little Wang quickly shook his head, forgetting Wei Qin’s acute sensitivity.

“Oh! Isn’t that eagle-esque young maiden Major General Huo’s niece?” Little Wang pointed at the girl on the plaza, playing the role of the eagle, and exclaimed. “Her hobbies seem a bit special, different from most girls.”

“Even her name sounds like a boy’s.”

Wei Qin looked at the slender figure with her back to him and pondered for a moment but couldn’t recall. It seemed he had been alone for too long.

“Beijiang’s niece?” he remembered at last, “Is it Fu Yiming’s daughter?”

“Exactly! She’s been living in the Huo family ever since her mother passed away.”

“When did her mother pass away?”

“Three years ago. They say she died of an illness.”

As the two were conversing, Fu Xinwu was heroically capturing all the chicks on the plaza, reducing a crowd of bear kids to tears.

“Sister Xinwu, you are bullying! We won’t play with you anymore.”

“Exactly! We won’t play with you.”

“You’re too mean.”

“There’s no such powerful eagle.”

Fu Xinwu looked innocent, “It’s not that I’m invincible, it’s that you chickens are too weak.”

The little boy playing the mother hen looked aggrieved, his eyes red, staring at Fu Xinwu, the look on his face saying, “How could you be such an eagle?”

“That seems to make sense!” The bear kids thought for a moment and appeared to agree.

“See! I was right, wasn’t I?” Fu Xinwu chuckled to herself, “If I were to play the mother hen, who could catch you?”

“Then why aren’t you the mother hen, Sister Xinwu?”
