112 Luo Fan Arrives
Gu Qianqian, who was preparing for her middle school exams, had come first in the test, and she was very happy about it.
It was Wednesday, and although it was early May, the sunlight was exceptionally warm. She walked towards home with a spring in her step.
These past few days, her sister had been the one cooking, and although there were no extravagant dishes, the food was surprisingly delicious.
She had always thought that her mother was the best.
Yet she had never imagined that her sister was even better than her mother.
Walking the road with a smile on her lips, Gu Qianqian suddenly heard a voice from behind, “Little girl, little girl…”
...
Turning her head, she saw a young man with a tall figure about a dozen steps away, smiling at her with peach blossom eyes.
Then, the young man walked towards Gu Qianqian.
He asked with a smile, “Little girl, can I ask you about someone?”
“Uncle, who are you looking for?” asked Gu Qianqian curiously.
Luo Fan, trying hard to emit kindness and a smile to the little girl, felt his mouth twitch—was he really that old?
But he quickly asked, “I want to know where Gu Qiaoqiao’s house is?”
Gu Qianqian blinked and blurted out, “What do you want with my sister?”
Sister?
The smile on Luo Fan’s face deepened, “So you must be Gu Qiaoqiao’s sister, right?”
“I already mentioned the word ‘sister,’ and you’re still asking…” Gu Qianqian found this man quite amusing, but she politely responded, “Yes, I am her sister.”
“That’s great.” Luo Fan’s expression was one of joy, “I’m a friend of your sister and brother-in-law in Imperial Capital. My name is Luo Fan.”
“Hello, Luo Fan Uncle.”
Oh, so he was a friend of her sister and brother-in-law, Gu Qianqian hurriedly greeted him.
Luo Fan looked at the bright-eyed, vivacious young girl before him, tugged at the corner of his mouth and corrected, “Little girl, your sister and brother-in-law call me Luo Fan Bro, isn’t it a bit much for you to call me Uncle Luo Fan…?”
Yeah, it seemed like a mix-up.
Gu Qianqian stuck out her tongue and quickly said, “Luo Fan Bro, my house is not far ahead, I’ll take you…”
“Alright, thank you, little girl.” Luo Fan followed Gu Qianqian as they walked forward, asking as they went, “What’s your name?”
“Gu Qianqian.”
“Which ‘Qian’ is it?”
“The one with the grass radical on top and the ‘west’ of the cardinal directions beneath…”
“Do you have a younger brother too?”
“Yes, my brother’s name is Gu Zishu, by now he probably has already run to the front door of the house…”
“…”
The tall and the short, the young and the younger, chatted away happily.
“Qianqian, in the future, don’t casually reveal such information to strangers.”
Luo Fan had learned quite a bit of information along the way, but he also felt that little Qianqian was too naive.
Gu Qianqian looked up in surprise, “Why?”
“Because in this world, there are not only good people but also bad people,” Luo Fan said with a serious expression.
Even though he was serious, there was still a hint of a smile in his eyes.
“My sister already told me, I know that,” said Gu Qianqian nonchalantly.
“Then why did you just tell me so much?”
“A lot?”
“Quite a bit.”
“But everyone in the village knows this.”
Alright, Luo Fan fell silent.
“Hehe…” Gu Qianqian laughed, “I know you’re a good person.”
“Oh?” Luo Fan raised an eyebrow, seemingly skeptical.
“Because your name is Luo Fan, my great uncle might even sell the vegetables from his greenhouse to your family’s hotel in the future. My uncle said that your family’s hotel is very beautiful, and the food is extremely delicious…”
Oh, that’s the reason.
Luo Fan nodded, that was actually true.
His family’s dishes were also top-notch in the provincial city.
“Hmm, maybe your sister can take you there sometime in the future,” he said.
