The Rebirth of Han Yuxi

and said, “You were very clever at home.
How come you be silly when you are out?” Even he would be considered muddle-headed if he just stayed motionless while looking at her sister being pinched by a male.

 

Yuxi then finally reacted.
She shivered and hurriedly hugged Han Jianye.
How could she not be afraid? It was said that tens of thousands of people had died in Yun Qing’s hands and that pair of blood-stained hands had just pinched her face.
At that thought, she could not stop shivering.

 

Seeing this scene, Yun Qing touched his face and asked Jiang Hongfu, “Biaodi, am I that scary?”

 

Jiang Hongfu helplessly answered, “Isn’t it scary when you suddenly act like this?”

 

Yun Qing felt that Yuxi’s courage was too small.
He just pinched her face and already scared her this bad.
She was such a wimpy kid.
However, he did frighten her, thus he needed to apologise.
He untied Flowing Clouds Baifu Yupei from his waist and handed it to Han Jianye.
He said, “This is my fault.
It won’t happen again next time.
This is my compensation to my Biaomei.” He just thought that Yuxi was very cute, so he wanted to pinch her cheeks.
Unexpectedly, his act frightened her.

 

Han Jianye did not take the yupei and said discontentedly, “Don’t make such jokes next time.” Yun Qing’s action was too careless.
He should have known that a girl’s face was not something he could easily pinch.
Luckily, Yuxi was still a kid, otherwise, her reputation would have been destroyed by his actions.

 

Jiang Hongfu looked at Han Jianye and immediately explained, “Don’t get him wrong, Ye Biaoge.
My Biaoge has always regretted that my aunt didn’t give him a sister! Therefore, seeing Xi Biaomei, who is fair and plump, has made him act a little beyond his normal limit.“

Jiang Hongfu’s words made Yuxi suddenly felt embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the Murderous Devil was fond of fair and plump girls very much, which made her became disillusionment for a moment.

 

Han Jianye said, “I hope there will be no next time.”

 

“Not anymore,” Yun Qing replied wryly.

 

After apologising, the two cousins left.
Once they left, Han Jianye patted Yuxi’s head and jokingly scolded her, “Why were you so useless? He just pinched your face and you already scared like this.“

 

Yuxi muttered, “He was terrible!” At least, she didn’t faint from fright, which was already very good, okay?

 

The two were talking when Han Jianming came out from inside the store.

 

Han Jianming learned of the incident and said with a smile, “Through the generations, the Yun always have sons in their family, and never once give birth to a daughter, so all of them have been wishing for a daughter.” He was aware of this problem in Yun Qing's family.
However, he knew that Yun Qing was a measured person, so he was not that angry with the incident.

 

Yuxi asked curiously, “Wasn’t Jiang Hongfu’s biological mother a daughter of the Yun family?” This was inconsistent with what Han Jianming had said!

 

Han Jianming smiled and shook his head.
“Jiang Hongfu’s biological mother was not General Yun’s biological daughter, but his adopted daughter.
However, he treated her like his biological daughter.”

 

Yuxi didn’t expect it was such a thing.

 

Han Jianye however, was not very interested in these kinds of things and said, “Si Meimei, aren’t you going to buy books? There are many kinds of books here, so, you can choose them yourself.“

Yuxi listened to his words and started searching for the books she wanted to buy.
After searching for a long time, she could not find the medical book she wanted.
How came there were no medical books being sell in such a large bookstore?

 

Seeing Yuxi’s disappointed face, Han Jianming smiled and asked, “What books do you want to buy?” At first glance, he could see that she had not selected any book.

 

Yuxi shook her head and said, “Nothing.” There were some things she could tell Er Ge, but not her Dage.
Although Er Ge was usually careless, he was very loyal and would never tell others once he promised not to.

 

Han Jianming saw that Yuxi did not say or demand anything, so, he just smiled and said, “Other book stores in the capital are closed at this time.
This book store is the only one that does not close all year round.
If you don’t find the books you like here, I’ll bring you to Songyun Pavilion the next time you have a holiday.
There, you should be able to find the books you want.“ Songyun Pavilion was the largest bookstore in the capital.
The books it sold were all-inclusive and it had everything.
Only now, since it was Lantern Festival day, the store had been closed for business.

 

Yuxi smiled so big till her teeth were shown, “Okay.”

 

After the three had dinner, it was already dark.
Outside the restaurant, Yuxi saw lanterns of various colours hanging on the street.
It was such beautiful scenery.

 

Chinese Riddle Lantern

Han Jianming had attended the festival several times, so he was quite familiar with it.
He took them to the place where lanterns were sold.
The Lantern Festival had a special feature.
As long as you guessed correctly the riddle on the lantern, you could take it away without paying.

 

They found a stall selling lanterns.
Chances in answering the riddles also had their limits.
Everyone could only guess twice.
If one answered wrongly on both chances, then one would have no more chances.
Han Jianming answered two riddles and only got one right.
As for Han Jianye, when he saw one of them did so well, he only became a spectator.

 

Yuxi wanted to give it a try.
She looked at the tall lanterns carefully and swept pass the most beautiful ones because their riddles were the hardest to be answered.
She looked at the other lanterns for a little while, then pointed at a lantern with little rabbits painted on it, and said, “The answer to that riddle is a mystery within a mystery.”

 

The owner of the stall looked at Yuxi with great interest, “This little girl is so clever.” After that, he took down the lantern and handed it to Yuxi.

 

This little rabbits lantern was actually not very fine in workmanship, but Yuxi still liked it.
After all, she only got it with what she had learned.
