Free Web NovelChapter 410: Chapter 202: Four Years (Part 2)
Xu Na didn’t finish her words before receiving a terrifying glare from her brother. Xu Lei was obviously a doting elder brother, and his sister hadn’t graduated from Xilena Academy yet, not even come of age. What was she thinking—getting married and having kids? The thought of a man replacing his place in his sister’s heart made sour bubbles pop up one after another... frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Every brother with a sister complex is like a little angel who fell to earth with broken wings in a past life, completely untouchable.
"It’s getting late; it’s time to gather and board the plane." Lucy glanced at the time on the smart brain, her voice slightly heavy.
"Mm, you guys should hurry along then, don’t miss the time." Seeing their expressions of reluctance and hesitation, Su Jiameng couldn’t help but smile slightly and say, "If there’s anything left unsaid, once the warship reaches a stable cruising state and the network is restored, we can meet again on the virtual network? There’s really no need for such expressions now; I’m worried I won’t be able to control my tears."
They were taken aback, realizing there was some truth to this, and couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Xu Na was quick to respond, looking at Su Jiameng with great interest and very expectantly saying, "In fact, after knowing Xiao Meng for so long, it seems we’ve never seen you cry..."
Su Jiameng: "..." Why are these guys looking at me with such eager eyes? Can we still be happy as friends?
Watching K3 and the others go through security, their silhouettes gradually disappearing, unable to hide the feeling of loss in her heart. Although they could meet on the virtual network, it was still virtual. And here on Qiming Star, these people were no longer present...
"Miss Su?" Just as she was thinking that, a pleasant man’s voice came from behind, the tone rich and slightly serious.
"Oh, Mr. Su, are you boarding to leave as well?" Su Jiameng turned around, and sure enough, saw Su Yanjing carrying a large black backpack. Judging by the hang of the straps, it seemed rather heavy. Standing behind Su Yanjing was Su Lu, in the same attire... By the way, it seems Su Lu applied to skip a grade half a year ago, and now is graduating alongside Su Yanjing.
"Yes, heading to Xilena." Su Yanjing’s hands were initially tucked in his pockets, but while speaking with Su Jiameng, he took out two exquisite doll necklaces, "For the two children, hoping they can be as outstanding as Miss Su."
Su Jiameng was momentarily stunned before she smiled lightly. Over the past year, she had met Su Yanjing a few times, and his attitude was peculiar but always kept a safe, non-offensive distance. When meeting the children, he would gift them DIY dolls, sometimes life-sized, other times delicate necklace dolls or small pendants.
Watching Su Yanjing personally put the necklaces on the children, Su Jiameng appropriately thanked him, and the two little rascals politely said thank you. The two little ones had an innate excellent memory; although Su Yanjing had only appeared a few times, they remembered this gentle uncle who liked gifting dolls. Moreover, they had even used a small box specifically for placing the dolls...
"Do your best, uncle looks forward to you becoming my juniors..." Su Yanjing, though normally reticent, would often break this habit when encountering Su Jiameng’s family, much to Su Lu’s accustomed indifference.
After Su Yanjing gifted them, Su Lu also retrieved his own gift hanging from his backpack, "The uncle earlier has already said what I wanted to say. I’m giving you these, hoping you grow up to become the upright little men you’re meant to be."
He patted Huaifeng’s head, the smile on his face bearing a senior’s hope for the younger generation. Due to Su Yanjing’s influence and Su Jiameng’s involvement, Su Lu never ceased his attention on the two children. Upon learning that the two were naturally talented in bone and muscle, he even considered grooming them in Ancient Martial Arts, but since Su Jiameng had her own plans, Su Lu didn’t force the issue.
The gifts he gave were naturally not simple; these were two Tang Blades forged by the same swordsmith. Although not as extraordinary as the "Shengping" held by his senior sister, they were far superior to the ones sold on the market, definitely substantial. freewebnøvel.com
"Thank you, uncle." How could the two kids hold real Tang Blades? The weight of these two blades, influenced by the material and craftsmanship, reached over twenty pounds, far too heavy for them.
Hearing the term "uncle," Su Lu’s eyes smiled with pride. Su Yanjing was his grandnephew, and the two little ones called him "uncle," so they called him "uncle" too... It seemed to make him feel much younger. Yet, the somewhat dim Su Lu overlooked one fact: while indeed being addressed as young, he’s also become his grandnephew’s peer now, hasn’t he been taken advantage of!
Seeing them off, Su Jiameng took the two rascals home. Perhaps it was psychological, but she felt that Qiming Star seemed especially desolate. Hugging the two rascals tight to drive away the chill with their warmth.
"There are no everlasting feasts under heaven; they have their own lives, and this is merely the start of their journey... Since when did I become so sentimental?" Once she recovered, she laughed lightly and rubbed her forehead. K3 and the others were just leaving Qiming Star, after all; they were still alive, so being sentimental like this seemed somewhat superficial.
At this moment, the arms dealer contacted Su Jiameng, interrupting her thoughts. As with previous transactions, the process went smoothly, and the trade volume was substantial. What’s more, there was something that delighted her greatly; after this transaction, her Experience Points barely passed the Level Six threshold!
Opening the upgrade gift package, she found a badge lying quietly inside, engraved with special patterns, and Su Jiameng smiled lightly.
K3 and those guys were striving for their future, she couldn’t fall behind!
She gripped the badge tightly, "Let’s strive together! To live, and witness the arrival of a future perhaps brimming with light and happiness..." (To be continued.
