Chapter 307
The Queen shrugged innocently, indicating that she hadn't taught him that.
She reached out and patted Xiaoguang's head, asking, "Why did you suddenly say something like that?"
"My second sister has lost the enthusiasm she once had for me, her adorable little sister. Sigh, Mom, I've lived my whole life on thin ice. Do you think I can win back her heart?"
"..."
The little thing is small, but it's quite talkative.
Just as Losweiser was pondering how to answer Xiaoguang, she heard Mu En say,
"Xiao Guang, don't think too much. Mu En will always love you."
"Really, Second Sister?"
"Real!"
"Second sister, give me a hug~"
Xiao Guang jumped off the stone bench, opened his little arms, and rushed into his second sister's arms.
The two sisters snuggled close together, their little tails sticking out and intertwining.
The couple watched this scene from opposite sides, unsure whether to keep quiet or say something to praise the deep sisterly bond.
While they were still in a daze, Leon saw Xiao Guang secretly give him an "OK" sign.
The next second, the old father realized—
The plan to divert Mu En's attention was all devised by Lady Aurorla!
Leon smiled inwardly, then looked up at Losweiser.
The Queen also received Xiao Guang's coded message, and naturally had a gratified smile on her face.
"Second sister, will you really always love Xiaoguang?" the Little Pink Hair asked.
Mu En nodded seriously, "Yes."
"Really, really?"
"It really will."
"Really, really, really—"
Before the words were finished, a sound came from the doorway:
"Mu En, Xiao Guang, I'm back!"
"Sister, I'm here!"
Little Moon transformed into a 100-meter sprinter and dashed towards the door.
Xiao Guang was left standing there, bewildered.
"At least finish what you were saying, Second Sister..."
Leon walked over to Xiaoguang and patted her head. "Try to understand your second sister. Everyone in the world knows she's a sister-obsessed sister."
Xiao Guang shrugged. "It's okay, anyway, I managed to stall until my older sister came back. Daddy, my mission is accomplished!"
Leon chuckled, bent down and picked up Xiao Guang, "Let's go pick up your older sister."
"Uh-huh."
The three of them stepped out of the pavilion and headed towards the entrance.
As they got closer, they discovered that Noa was accompanied by another girl.
Leon narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the Dragon Race girl. She was a bit taller Noa and had a gentle and lovely appearance. She must be Noa's classmate.
Mu En's tail, which had been held high after hearing Noa's voice, drooped when it saw the girl.
She slowed her pace and walked up to Noa and the girl.
Leon, holding Xiao Guang, stood behind Mu En with Losweiser.
"Noa, who is this...?" Leon asked.
"Hello, Uncle. My name is Helena. I'm Noa's classmate and I'm nine years old."
Uncle, Uncle...
Upon hearing this title, Leon's eye twitched slightly.
Even though he's already a father, it's normal for a child to call him "uncle."
But General Leon was only twenty-four years old, and yet his daughter's classmate was calling him "uncle"...
Alas, time waits for no one!
"Hello, Auntie." Helena greeted Losweiser politely.
The Dragon Queen was over two hundred years old, so she didn't react as strongly to being called "aunt" as Leon did. She smiled and nodded, "Hello, Helena."
This child is not shy, but she is not the kind of person who is overly familiar with others without knowing how to behave. She knows how to maintain appropriate boundaries when meeting someone for the first time and handles it very well.
"She probably doesn't come from an ordinary noble family, "Losweiser thought.
"Daddy Mom, is it okay if Helena stays with us this weekend?" Noa asked.
"Of course." Losweiser nodded.
It's perfectly fine if my daughter's classmates come to visit.
In fact, Losweiser was very happy that Noa was able to make friends at school that she could bring home as guests.
My eldest daughter was more mature than her peers from a young age and thought more deeply. She always pushed herself so hard, and over time, she began to show signs of becoming introverted and withdrawn.
It's a good thing for Noa to make friends at this stage.
After all, she can't always rely on her father and two younger sisters to relieve the pressure and troubles in her life. She needs some normal social interaction and to make some friends of her own.
"Thank you, Auntie~" Helena bowed slightly in thanks.
Immediately, her gaze fell on Mu En and Xiao Guang. "Noa, are they the sisters you often mention?"
"Um."
Noa walked over to Mu En and took her little hand. "Her name is Mu En, and she's my twin sister. The one my Daddy is holding is called Aurorla, and her nickname is Xiao Guang."
"Hello, Little Mu'en ~"
Helena reached out her hand, wanting to shake hands with Mu En.
Mu En's large eyes trembled slightly.
Looking at the girl her sister had brought home, her memory was pulled back to the day she sent her sister back to school.
At the classroom door, Noa was led into the classroom by a girl named Helena, who was holding her arm.
Lost in thought, Mu En forgot to greet them.
Noa gently squeezed her little hand before she realized what was happening.
"Ah! Ah... Hello, my name is Mu En, which means 'moon'."
Mu En grasped Helena's outstretched hand, unconsciously applying a slight pressure.
Hiding in his father's arms, Xiao Guang watched this scene and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Wow, looks like this weekend is going to be fun.
Last month, everyone cast a lot of votes and gave a lot of tips. Thank you all for your support.
I'll continue to add the extra chapters this month, oh my gosh~
"I hope our dinner suits your taste, Helena."
The Leon family of five and today's little guests sat around the dinner table.
Dinner was very lavish, with several extra dishes added on top of the original dishes to welcome Noa home, as a way of expressing their enthusiasm for Helena.
Helena was also very polite, using honorifics in every sentence, and her demeanor was dignified and proper, making her seem sincere and generous.
It's truly amazing that someone so young has such social skills.
While they were in the courtyard earlier, Losweiser had already sensed that Helena might not come from an ordinary noble family.
But she didn't ask Helena which tribe she came from or what social class her parents belonged to.
After all, it's my daughter's first time bringing her classmates home for the weekend, so the main focus should be on being warm and hospitable, without discussing anything else.
"Actually, I've always envied Noa. Mom not only has wonderful Daddy, but also two adorable younger sisters."
Helena said, "Because I come from a cocoon family, I was conceived by my Mom alone, so I don't have any brothers or sisters. I grew up alone, and sometimes it was quite lonely."
Most traditional Dragon Race come from cocoon families, consisting of only Daddy or only Mom.
There may be siblings, but most of them are only related in a superficial way.
Biological sisters like Losweiser and Ischa are very rare.
The fact that the two little ones can become friends with Noa suggests that they must have some similarities in some way, such as how they view 'family' or 'relatives'.
Leon and Losweiser knew very well how much Noa valued her family;
If Helena also values family as much as Noa, then as a dragon born from a cocoon, she would indeed envy Noa's large family of five.
Who wouldn't want an inseparable playmate during their childhood?
"It's okay, Helena. If you like a lively atmosphere, you can come to my house anytime," Noa said.
"Really, Noa?"
"Yes, really."
"That's great! Thank you, Noa-chan!"
Helena turned to the side, put her arm around Noa's shoulder, and gently nuzzled her face.
Because Helena is a few years older than Noa, she is also much taller Noa, so when they hug each other like this, it looks like the older sister is hugging the younger sister.
Judging from Noa's reaction, she didn't seem to mind Helena's closeness with her.
You know, Noa, this stubborn little mule, doesn't usually like physical contact with others.
When she first met Leon, she even said that Leon couldn't touch her without her permission.
Leon and Losweiser exchanged a glance, probably guessing why their daughter had accepted Helena's hug.
Firstly, since Helena is a friend that Noa can bring home as a guest, it means that their relationship must be quite good, so there's nothing wrong with hugging her.
Secondly, it is related to Noa herself.
She was much more mature than normal baby dragons, and had been taking care of Mu En ever since she was old enough to understand things.
After Xiaoguang was born, she took care of him the most.
In addition, the recent crisis involving the spatial rift, those difficult six months also helped Noa grow a lot.
However, untimely growth often leads to mental fatigue and burnout.
Noa rarely opens up to others, and even Leon and Losweiser don't really understand their daughter's inner world.
This is a very subtle phenomenon in families; even when facing their closest relatives, people sometimes won't express their worries and troubles.
But Helena is different.
She is Noa's friend, someone with whom she can maintain a close relationship outside of family.
At the same time, she is a few years older Noa, so she can definitely act as Noa's older sister.
Even if this meaning was never explicitly mentioned between them, the objective facts were there, and Noa would subconsciously want to get some emotional value from Helena as a 'sister'.
Nestling in Helena's arms would allow her to relax her tense nerves for a while.
This is the importance of friends.
The couple vaguely guessed this, and then both showed a relieved smile.
They exchanged glances and decided to discuss their eldest daughter's friend's matter properly after dinner.
Right now, cooking is the most important thing!
