Chapter 98
Sister?
Zhi Yao had just finished getting dressed when she heard an extremely piercing voice outside. She didn't even bother putting on her shoes and rushed out immediately.
When she saw that the visitor was Ling Si, Zhi Yao was still a bit flustered.
She still couldn't accept the fact that she had a father and brothers.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
Pei Chiyao's deep voice snapped Zhi Yao out of her daze.
Before she could answer, the man stepped forward and scooped Zhi Yao into his arms, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat."
He asked Zhi Yao softly, completely ignoring Ling Si's presence.
Zhi Yao nodded, she was already starving. She didn't expect to sleep all the way until the next day when she woke up.
"Shall I carry you to brush your teeth?"
Zhi Yao nodded again, obediently holding onto Pei Chiyao's neck. Her exquisite features made her look like a BJD doll.
Ling Si stared in disbelief as the two completely ignored him, standing dazed at the doorway like a statue.
It wasn't until Zhi Yao had finished washing up and Pei Chiyao carried her out again that she finally remembered Ling Si was still there.
"Mr. Ling, do... do you need something?"
Mr. Ling?!
She actually called him Mr. Ling?!
Ling Si felt his heart shatter.
"Yao Yao, I'm your brother! Your real brother!" He looked at Pei Chiyao holding Zhi Yao and felt more and more upset and heartbroken.
It was all because of this Pei Chiyao! He had taken all of Zhi Yao's attention, causing her to ignore Ling Si completely!
He glared hatefully at Pei Chiyao.
Zhi Yao still had trouble accepting this fact, but her attention was drawn entirely to the ears on Ling Si's head.
They were a pair of rather large, fluffy ears.
Those ears were twice the size of Zhi Yao's ears, very large, with a ring of white fur around them. They looked very soft to the touch.
Zhi Yao's fingers instantly started itching.
She... she had never touched wolf ears before!
The Wolf Tribe was known to be a terrifying and ferocious family. Forget about touching their ears, Zhi Yao would be scared half to death just from hearing a wolf's howl in the past.
Ling Si immediately noticed Zhi Yao's gaze and got excited, hurriedly coming closer to her, "Yao Yao, do you want to touch my ears?"
Zhi Yao was honored, looking at Ling Si with slight surprise, "Can... can I?"
"Of course!"
Ling Si didn't bother being polite with Zhi Yao. Without another word, he took the young lady's hand and placed it on his head.
In that instant, Zhi Yao touched Ling Si's soft, fluffy ears.
They were so soft, bouncy, and slightly warm to the touch.
Zhi Yao couldn't help but keep petting them, "So nice to touch!"
Ling Si kept his head lowered, letting his sister freely ruffle and squeeze his head. He even quite enjoyed the treatment.
Originally, he had been a little fond of Zhi Yao, but he never expected that she would turn out to be his sister!
His real sister!
This was both too exciting and shocking for Ling Si!
That such a beautiful and adorable girl was actually his sister!
He really wanted to snatch Zhi Yao away from Pei Chiyao's embrace and hold her himself.
When shapeshifting into human form, members of the Wolf Tribe were usually tall and muscular.
Ling Jue himself was nearly two meters tall, and his sons were no less imposing. Even Zhi Yao's mother was over 1.7 meters, yet Zhi Yao was only around 1.6 or 1.7 meters, not considered short for a girl but a tiny little bundle in this family.
To Ling Si, Zhi Yao looked like a little kid.
Zhi Yao reluctantly withdrew her hand, "Thank you, I really love your ears."
Upon hearing this, Ling Si felt like he was floating on air.
He turned and ran out, leaning over the second-floor railing and shouting downstairs, "Hahaha! Yao Yao said she likes me! She doesn't like you guys!"
Zhi Yao: "?"
Wasn't she talking about his ears?!
And who was Ling Si yelling at?
Zhi Yao was shocked, and just then, her stomach let out a "gurgle" - she was hungry.
Not wanting Zhi Yao to starve, Pei Chiyao swallowed his annoyance and carried her downstairs.
As soon as they got downstairs, Zhi Yao was dumbstruck!
Looking across the dining room, she saw rows and rows of ears.
Zhi Yao was stunned!
And... they were all different colors! When one of the ears caught Zhi Yao's gaze, it even twitched.
That's when she realized these people looked a lot like Ling Si, with about 70-80% similarity in their facial features, just slightly different expressions.
She wasn't too familiar with them yet and would need to look closely to tell them apart.
Seeing Zhi Yao for the first time, the brothers seemed a bit nervous.
Taking advantage of having met Zhi Yao earlier, Ling Si went ahead with the introductions, "Yao Yao, this is your eldest brother - Ling Yi, this is your second brother - Ling Er, and this is your third brother - Ling San. As for me, I don't think I need an introduction."
These weren't their formal names, just for Zhi Yao's convenience in remembering. After all, this was how they addressed each other in the family.
Zhi Yao studied her brothers carefully.
Ling Yi looked like a white snow wolf, with pure white ears and golden eyes, resembling an arctic fox.
Ling San's color was quite special, with red ears the same shade as her mother's. Zhi Yao instantly felt a sense of familiarity towards him.
As for Ling Er...
The young lady tilted her head. His color was the same grayish-brown as Ling Si's, but his face... was extremely similar to her mother's. He appeared to be the one who resembled their mother the most among all the children.
He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with the chain dangling by his sideburns. Zhi Yao just noticed that he was even wearing a long robe from the Republican era?
She hadn't seen anyone wearing that style of clothing in a very long time.
There was a certain scholarly air about him that made him seem quite refined.
Zhi Yao's impression was spot on. Ling Er had always been Ling Jue's most beloved son because he resembled Zhi Yi the most.
But things were different now, with Zhi Yao and Zhi Yi both back by his side, Ling Er had recently fallen out of favor.
However, Ling Er didn't mind. His temperament was quite similar to Zhi Yi's - detached and indifferent to most things.
The three wolf brothers stood motionless, seemingly waiting for Zhi Yao to speak.
But Zhi Yao's gaze remained fixed on Ling San, never shifting away.
This immediately irked Ling Si, "Yao Yao, why do you keep looking at the second brother?"
He pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. Ling Si knew that Ling Er was considered the best-looking among them, but he didn't expect his sister to be so shallow as to care only about appearances.
