Some Words

"Yes, that's right... I... I have everyone now, I still have everyone..." Xie Xie's gaze suddenly regained some expression.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing, I'm not sure if I should say it," Wu Yang Jin suddenly asked.

"It's alright, Yang Jin, go ahead and tell me. But before you do, I really want to thank you!" Xie Xie suddenly hugged Wu Yang Jin.

"Yes, your recovery is what we wanted most today," Wu Yang Jin said, patting Xie Xie.

"Then Yang Jin... what do you want to say?" Xie Xie asked.

"Yeah, it's nothing. I suddenly felt there was no need to say anything, since you've recovered now," Wu Yang Jin replied.

"Yes, it's okay, I understand. Thank you, and thank you everyone!" Xie Xie suddenly said.

At that moment, Gu Yue suddenly kicked Xie Xie.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Xie Xie suddenly said, sounding a little unhappy.

"Xie Xie, I need to apologize for arguing with you before," Gu Yue suddenly said.

"Hey? What are you doing... I'm known for my money-grubbing, but you're not..."

"Oh dear, why are you making such a fuss? Don't take it to heart, you're just a little kid," Gu Yue said again.

"What little brat? You're a little brat girl!" Xie Xie said again.

"Tch, don't bother arguing with someone who's crying," Gu Yue said, turning her head.

"Hey you!"

"However... if anything happens to you, you must tell us. We're friends, we're all in this together, and we won't leave you out! Besides, as friends, we all want everyone to be well," Gu Yue concluded.

"Gu Yue, you... well, thank you." Xie Xie said suddenly with some emotion.

"It's alright," Gu Yue replied.

Uncle Li listened to the whole story and felt somewhat gratified.

"Thank you, children," Uncle Li said, seizing the opportunity.

"Uncle Li!" Xie Xie called out.

"Yes, Xie Xie, child... I'm very happy to see you like this," Uncle Li Uncle Li said.

"Okay, Uncle Li, could you please bring ten more servings?" Xie Xie said.

Um?

"Huh? You kids can still keep eating?" Uncle Li asked in surprise.

"Yeah, and it seems like Wulin wasn't full to begin with," Xie Xie said.

"Haha, alright, Uncle Li will cook enough for you today!" Uncle Li said, getting enthusiastic again.

After that, Uncle Li went back to making the Braised Jarred Beef.

"Phew, Xie Xie, it's so good that you've recovered! I... cough cough cough!" Tang Wu Lin said.

"Finish eating before you talk!" Xie Xie quickly patted Tang Wu Lin and said.

"The result was very good; she has finally regained her energy," Hu Meier said.

"Yes, the result is good," Wu Yang Jin said.

After a while, Tang Wu Lin finally recovered.

"But Xie Xie, you are still very lucky," Wu Yang Jin suddenly said.

"Yang Jin ..." Tang Wu Lin suddenly realized something.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Xie Xie said, reverting to his usual demeanor.

"Never mind, I won't say anything more," Wu Yang Jin said.

"No!" Xie Xie suddenly said again, but after saying that, he realized something was wrong when he saw Tang Wu Lin's expression as he looked at Wu Yang Jin.

"Well, it's nothing. It's just that I don't even have parents. It's not that I haven't met them, it's that I don't have any. Although you might find that strange," Wu Yang Jin said frankly.

"Huh?"

"Of course, I'm not lying to you. I've never experienced fatherly love as solid as a mountain or motherly love." Wu Yang Jin said.

"Yang Jin, I was wrong!" Xie Xie suddenly said.

"What's the big deal? After all, Xie Xie, you've been so honest with us, so it's only right that I be honest too," he said.

Hearing this, Hu Meier thought back to when she asked him the question, he had acted just as calmly as he does now.

"Yang Jin ..." Gu Yue said with some concern.

Looking at Wu Yang Jin like this, there were some things he didn't understand.

If it were him back then, although he would be the same as he is now, this is the first time he has heard Wu Yang Jin mention this point.

"I'm fine, but thankfully Wulin's parents, Uncle Tang Zi Ran and Aunt Lang Yue, have taken good care of me," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Although I haven't experienced it myself, I... sigh! However, there is someone who has filled a void. It's one of my younger sisters," Wu Yang Jin said suddenly, sounding somewhat happy.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's emotions underwent a subtle change.

"Her name is Na'er," Wu Yang Jin said.

Hearing this, Gu Yue's heart trembled once again. Although she had been certain for a long time, sometimes things would happen like today, making her confirm them again.

"So what kind of girl is she?" Gu Yue asked.

"Haha, well, we're both orphans, I guess. At first, I thought my situation was a bit better than hers, since she was almost kidnapped. Besides, I kind of found her; her feet were ice cold..." Wu Yang Jin said.

Then, Wu Yang Jin briefly recounted the events that led to his encounter and the process of adopting Na'er.

"However, she's not exactly my biological sister, since we're related by blood. But she's the most important person to me, so naturally, the bond between us is very strong," Wu Yang Jin continued.

"And her?" Xie Xie asked.

"She's gone. She left a note saying she'd found her family and needed to go back. I was definitely happy for her but also a little sad. But I know Na'er must have her own reasons, and we will meet again," Wu Yang Jin replied.

"So, actually, I miss her a lot too. Sigh, but there's nothing I can do. I can't let this get me down. I know I have to keep trying until one day I believe we'll meet again," Wu Yang Jin said in the end.

"Yang Jin, don't worry! I'll help you, brother. If you need anything in the future, or if it's related to your sister, I'll help you in any way I can! And we both believe that you will meet her again!" Xie Xie said.

"Yes, that's what I think too," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Yang Jin, then you..." Hu Meier asked hesitantly.

"It's alright, Meier. After all these months, don't you know me yet?" Wu Yang Jin said.

"Okay, I understand," Hu Meier said.

However, what Hu Meier was thinking was that it was not just a few months. She had known Wu Yang Jin for a long time, and there was no such thing as a younger sister back then.

Afterwards, the group continued to eat a lot, and after this experience, the distance between them was almost completely eliminated.

After everyone left, Uncle Li looked on with a gratified expression, but when he saw the dozens of earthenware pots on the table, he couldn't help but marvel at how much these kids could eat.

Although, most of it was eaten by that child named Tang Wu Lin.
