Part 3
Arriving at the familiar courtyard, Ning Xiao Miao asked his father to put him down, walking closely beside him.
His stomach was indeed hungry, so he opened the nutrient solution his father gave him.
Although it didn’t taste good, he would finish what his father gave him.
Twisting open the cap, the little guy looked down, his emerald eyes widening: S-So sweet and fragrant.
The little guy’s face flushed, looking at his father adoringly. He tasted it, and sure enough, it was sweet and fragrant.
Young Master Bai swallowed his saliva, touched the back of his neck, embarrassed to snatch food from the little guy, looking at the sky. Wuwuwu, so fragrant.
Ning Yunyi glanced at him, knowing he was craving, considering whether to give him a tube.
Young Master Bai’s wristband rang. Seeing it was Old Bai, he immediately answered.
City Lord Bai’s figure projected in front. Once stabilized, he looked closely and suddenly widened his eyes. “My old swan, Ah Cheng, how did you get so fat?”
Young Master Bai’s excited expression froze. He looked incredulous and angry from embarrassment. “You’re the one who’s fat! Your whole family is fat!”
How am I fat?
City Lord Bai gestured. “Still not fat? Ah Cheng, you’ve gained fully two sizes!” Heavens, I sent Ah Cheng there for treatment. Did my silly son eat my virtuous brother out of house and home?
Young Master Bai immediately covered his ears. Is this something I can listen to?
He hung up directly, earning City Lord Bai’s last sentence: “Unfilial son!”
Unable to contact Young Master Bai, City Lord Bai could only message Ning Yunyi.
Ning Yunyi explained he hadn’t been eaten out of house and home, and Young Master Bai was quite helpful here.
City Lord Bai was relieved and hung up, saying he still needed some time before coming to the First Star.
Ning Yunyi looked up, meeting Young Master Bai’s burning gaze. “What’s wrong?”
Young Master Bai pitifully sought validation. “Uncle, am I fat?”
Ning Yunyi hadn’t noticed at first, but seeing Young Master Bai every day, he really couldn’t compare. Finally, he simply fell silent.
Young Master Bai clutched his chest, kneeling on the ground dramatically, seeking comfort, only to find his uncle silently looking at the sky.
So, am I no longer my uncle’s favorite bunny?
Won’t you even coax me with a word?
Finally, Ning Xiao Miao stepped forward, handing over the half-tube of “nutrient solution.” “Cousin, don’t cry. Chubby bunnies are actually cuter.”
Young Master Bai choked, hugging the little kitten after a long while: Cousin, you really know how to comfort people.
It hurts even more.
Ning Yunyi let Young Master Bai look around to see what was needed everywhere, to have someone deliver it later.
When Big Brother Ning was found and Ning’s parents returned, they could move in directly.
He took Ning Xiao Miao and the big cat to the small building in the main courtyard.
The little cub was familiar with this place, having visited a few times, hopping while holding Ning Yunyi’s hand.
Ning Yunyi led him into the living room.
The big cat following behind flicked its tail gently, glancing at Ning Yunyi and Ning Xiao Miao, who was extremely familiar with this place, from time to time.
Ning Yunyi came in a hurry last time and had to check the attic, so he didn’t look around properly.
He saw a human-height vase in the living room, walked over, reached inside, and sure enough, felt a rattan ball.
This rattan ball wasn’t a bionic plant but a real ancient creature, so even though it was palm-sized, it was valuable.
It was what Ning’s father brought to play with him the last time the original body brought the little kitten over.
The little kitten later kicked it in, and after getting sleepy, Ning’s parents were anxious to coax him, so they forgot to take it out.
Seeing the familiar rattan ball, the little guy looked up, gazing at his father expectantly.
Ning Yunyi patted his head and put the rattan ball in his hand. “Go play with the big cat in the yard; don’t go far.”
The little guy nodded vigorously immediately, hugging the rattan ball and running out.
The big cat followed closely to protect him.
Ning Yunyi then looked upstairs, wanting to see if Ning Second Uncle’s family had returned.
He stepped up the stairs to the attic, lowered his eyes, but didn’t walk into the attic room. Instead, he went to a window at the end of the corridor.
Ning Yunyi stood at the window without looking back but said, “Sir, you’ve followed me all the way from the Ji family. Shouldn’t you show yourself?”
He hadn’t noticed the other party’s existence at first.
This person’s spiritual power was extremely high, and his concealment methods were the most formidable he had seen so far, actually evading his eyes and ears.
Until he stepped on the stairs to the attic just now, perhaps due to nervousness, the other party accidentally leaked a trace of spiritual power, which he happened to catch.
The spiritual power ball in Ning Yunyi’s space wasn’t low, but he couldn’t sense the opponent’s strength.
Unless the opponent’s spiritual power was above double-S.
The visitor showed no killing intent but followed closely. Coupled with Ji Peng’s matter, he guessed the identity of the person—it should be him who attacked Ji Peng.
The place where Ning Yunyi was standing was farthest from the front yard. If the opponent was an enemy, he could capture him while avoiding the little guy.
As his words fell, a figure soon appeared silently at the corner behind him.
This time, the opponent still didn’t leak any spiritual power but revealed footsteps.
Ning Yunyi turned around, facing the end of the corridor, looking at the shadow emerging from behind the stairs.
The opponent responded, so he should have a purpose and didn’t intend to hide.
Sure enough, the next moment, the person slowly walked out of the shadows.
Covered entirely in black clothes, with semi-long hair, the bangs covering most of his eyebrows and eyes.
Below the high nose bridge, everything was covered by a black cloth, obscuring his face. But meeting those eyes looking at him, Ning Yunyi’s originally indifferent expression froze.
Clearly hadn’t seen the face, and the other was dressed as an assassin.
But the moment the visitor appeared, a sense of familiarity hit instantly. Meeting those black eyes looking at him, his tightly pursed lips trembled subconsciously, a title flashing in his mind. He couldn’t help but murmur, “Big Brother…”
Only when he heard his own voice did Ning Yunyi startle back to reality.
The visitor’s body also trembled, suppressed emotions spreading. His originally restrained eyes slowly reddened, walking towards Ning Yunyi step by step.
Along the way, countless possibilities flashed through his mind. Especially when he heard that young man calling him uncle, Ning Zhanfeng was terrified, afraid that this person so familiar with his little nephew wasn’t his little brother, afraid it was someone his little brother entrusted before death, afraid that this person resembling his little brother received the nephew’s reliance because of the resemblance.
He was anxious, fearful, and afraid to take that step, afraid of getting a result he would regret for life.
But until this moment, he found he still couldn’t control himself, especially seeing him take out the rattan ball and walk towards the attic.
Until hearing this “Big Brother,” Ning Zhanfeng approached slowly at first, afraid of scaring his little brother, but walked faster and faster. Finally, taking three steps in two, he arrived in front, even developing a timidity near home, afraid the scene before him was just a dream.
Finally, he couldn’t help but hug the person tightly, his chest filled with uncontrollable excitement. “Little Brother!”
