Chapter 103: Chapter 101: Brother, Can You Take Me Out?

Yun Qiuce was surprised to see who it was. With a smile, he greeted the boy:

"Yun Zhao, you’re back?"

Yun Zhao nodded indifferently, "Yeah, Uncle, you’re still as leisurely as ever."

Yun Qiuce had a friendly demeanor, especially towards his second nephew, familiar with his teenage rebellious nature. He wasn’t angry and replied with a chuckle:

"Aren’t you the same, it’s summer break now, everyone is free."

"That’s true, if you hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten it’s been years since you graduated."

With this sarcastic comment, Yun Zhao pulled his suitcase and continued inside.

Oh, Second Cousin.

On the drive back, Yun Qi listened to Yun Qiuce chatter about the family’s situation.

He mentioned it before, Second Cousin Yun Zhao.

When talking about Yun Zhao, he tutted a couple of times, obviously a headache for the elders.

Yun Qi had seen many rebellious ones in the Capital City, feeling that Second Cousin was actually okay.

At most, just not fond of interacting with people.

Yun Zhao had just returned home, making idle small talk with the Old Master and Old Madam in the living room.

Old Master: "Now that you’re back, focus on calming down. After summer break, it’s your second year of university. Time waits for no one, you’re quite the student. Start planning what you want to do in the future."

Yun Zhao listened lazily, tapping his fingers idly on the water cup.

Among the Yun Family’s generation, he was the brightest scholar; he started school and entered university early, always had excellent grades.

"Have you met Qi? Your third uncle’s daughter, she hasn’t been back long. This child loves to run and play, disappears in a flash. I’ll have someone call her back..." Old Mrs. Yun smiled kindly. Having resolved past issues, she seemed much more spirited.

She doted on Yun Qi immensely.

"No need." Yun Zhao impatiently furrowed his brows, "I just saw her in the yard."

"Oh, isn’t she adorable? Kids at this age are the most fun, and our Qi isn’t a rascal. Some kids are disliked even by dogs; our Qi is loved even by dogs..."

Old Mrs. Yun, speaking of her precious granddaughter, beamed with joy, even her wrinkles seemed to stretch blissfully like intricately carved chrysanthemums.

Yun Zhao let out a discreet scoff, lazily placing the water cup on the table, his lips curled with a hint of disdain.

The Old Master gently held the Old Madam’s hand, signaling her to say no more.

Yun Zhao had a chilly disposition, his relationship with his own sister Yun Ying was just average, let alone with a little cousin he’d barely interacted with.

The Old Master maintained a peaceful mindset, not insisting the cousins must be close, just hoping the family could maintain a harmonious front living together.

On the table lay a dish of washed red grapes, a top-tier variety, enticingly red and tender, making one’s mouth water.

Yun Zhao leaned forward, wanting to pick a grape or two.

Suddenly, Yun Qi fluttered back like a little butterfly.

Not knowing what she played outside, kids at this age were lively and full of vigor, having just washed her face and hands, her little face was still rosy, emitting warmth all over, coupled with her white, plump cheeks, resembling a freshly baked teacup cake.

"Where did you play to sweat so much?" the Old Madam teased, her eyes filled with fondness.

Yun Qi’s forehead was smooth, panting heavily from her run back, her breath warm.

"Didn’t go anywhere, just raced with Xiao Hua in the yard, it couldn’t outpace me."

The Old Master and Old Madam exchanged glances and laughed.

Their granddaughter was serious when ghost hunting, like an Immortal descending. In everyday life, she resembled an ordinary child, also fond of playing with cats and dogs, unable to stay still all day long.

"It’s so hot."

Eyeing the red grapes on the table, Yun Qi’s eyes sparkled.

The table was rather high, and the fruit platter was in front of Yun Zhao. Yun Qi stood on tiptoe, reaching out to grab the platter.

Her fingertips touched the edge, and the platter spun wobbly on the table.

Causing the Old Master and Old Madam to laugh, finding their granddaughter increasingly adorable.

"Don’t laugh, I’ll grow taller tomorrow."

Pouting her crimson lips in complaint, she still managed to grab the platter, pulling it towards her, then plucked a few grapes, popping them into her mouth.

Biting hard, the overflowing sweet juice made the little child happily squint her eyes.

"So sweet, it’s bubbling in my heart."

Suddenly sensing an unfriendly gaze beside her, Yun Qi looked dazedly at Yun Zhao.

The handsome boy opposite showed displeasure, slightly pursing his lips, his gaze lingered longer on the grapes in Yun Qi’s hand, before impatiently retracting.

Yun Qi realized, hurriedly tiptoed again, pushing the fruit platter towards Yun Zhao.

"Brother, have some, it’s super sweet..."

Before finishing, Yun Zhao disdainfully stood up, dragging the chair with a loud sound.

Old Mrs. Yun frowned "tsk," feeling that’s inappropriate for a child.

Yun Zhao responded flatly, "I have a cleanliness quirk, Grandma, you know that."

He found anything others touched revolting.

Seeing her handsome brother going upstairs, Yun Qi blinked her eyes, displaying some confusion.

The old couple feared this might hurt Qi’s self-esteem, quickly reassured:

"Your brother’s just like that, it’s not that he doesn’t like Qi."

"Yeah, yeah, he’s like that with everyone."

Yun Qi chewed the grape in her mouth, gulped it down, "Then he’s quite pitiful, getting angry at everything he sees."

Yun Zhao was going upstairs when he heard the childish voice from downstairs, frowning irritably.

Was she complaining to grandparents?

Who’s pitiful? What’s cute about kids? Not a single kid in the world is cute, they’re full of lies, oblivious to right and wrong.

***

Yun Zhao hadn’t been home recently because during his university break, he joined a social research project by his college, just returned today.

The project went quite smoothly, he performed excellently, leaving a deep impression on his college professors.

Recalling his teachers’ approving gazes, a smile appeared on his face.

Back in his room, he started unpacking his suitcase, taking out a group photo, placing it on the bookshelf.

It was a group photo of all the members involved in this survey.

This time, they went to a rural area for research, although conditions were tough, they gained a lot, marking an enjoyable and unforgettable memory.

Thinking about it, his fingers gently touched the photo, each face on it young and tender, squinting from the sun, tired but everyone was smiling brightly, as if forever holding eager anticipation for life.

Maybe that’s what university life is about.

Positioning the photo properly, Yun Zhao turned around to organize other luggage.

Behind him, a person’s head in the photo eerily turned 90 degrees, parallel to their neck, as if someone had twisted it.

As Yun Zhao turned back, that person’s head returned to normal, eerily winking at him.

Having finished unpacking, Yun Zhao took his phone, contacting someone, then opened the door and walked out.

Unexpectedly, a little dumpling sat on the ground outside the door.

"Ouch!" The little dumpling looked up, enduring the pain from her fall, her big eyes shimmering, dimples adorning her cute face.

"Brother, could you take me with you when you go out?"
