Chapter 934: Gu Pansheng's Grace [Extras: Protagonist's Edition]
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Shixu had finished cooking.
Looking at the bowl of inviting Yang Chun noodles, my appetite was instantly piqued, and I picked up the chopsticks and started devouring it.
Jiang Shixu not only cooked the noodles deliciously but also fried the egg inside perfectly round.
Like a little sun.
Seeing me eat so happily, Jiang Shixu also smiled along.
While slurping down the refreshing noodles, I gave him a thumbs up.
"Uncle, your cooking is the best."
Jiang Shixu's eyes curved with a smile.
"Actually, it's my sister's Yang Chun noodles that are the best."
Sister?
Then that would be mom.
Annoying.
I've grown up this much and never tasted mom's cooking!
After comforting me, Jiang Shixu also served himself a bowl.
"What did Jiang Cheng do to scare you just now? You were so frightened?"
I nonchalantly raised my chopsticks.
"Uncle Jiang Cheng is so annoying. I just told him I wanted mom to give me a little sister, and he threatened me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shixu's hand paused as he picked up the noodles.
Although there was not much change in his expression, I could clearly feel something shifting in his eyes.
My heart began to feel uncertain again.
Could it be that Jiang Shixu doesn't want a niece either?
Sure enough, the next second, Jiang Shixu placed his egg into my bowl.
Though he was smiling, I felt there was something odd in his words—
"Good Panpan, if you want someone to play with, Uncle can always play with you. If you really think a sister is cute, I can bring Xiao Chu over to play with you, but don't say things like asking my sister to have another child."
His tone was calm, just like usual.
But I could hear a stronger sense of threat than from Jiang Cheng.
The Yang Chun noodles in my mouth became less appetizing.
Just as I was searching for an excuse to change the subject, the doorbell rang.
Before Uncle could get up to open the door, it was already opened.
The voice came in even before the person did.
"Jiang Shixu, my mom is asking you to come to our place for dinner tonight."
"Oh, this little guy is here too, is big sister not coming back today?"
The silhouette against the light gradually became clear, and I saw who it was.
It was my fourth uncle, Jiang Bufan.
I dislike him as much as I do Jiang Yan.
Not just because of his roguish demeanor.
But also because he looks too much like Jiang Yan.
He's clearly in high school, yet he wears his school uniform sloppily.
His hair is clipped into a buzz cut, making him look even more unapproachable.
He always likes to have a lollipop in his mouth.
It's only in front of my mom that this guy pretends to be well-behaved.
Now, he doesn't even bother to pretend.
Jiang Bufan walked up and pinched my face with his cold hands.
"Haven't seen you in a day, and you've gotten chubbier again. True to your bread nature."
I whimpered in pain, and Jiang Shixu swatted his hand away.
"Don't pinch the kid randomly like that."
Jiang Bufan shrugged indifferently, "I'm just playing around. Didn't you guys always like to pinch me when I was little?"
"That was Jiang Cheng."
"I wouldn't dare pinch him, let alone big sister, so I can only pinch this little one."
Saying that, Jiang Bufan bent down, grinning mischievously.
"Call me uncle, and I'll reward you with candy."
I defiantly stood on the stool.
"Jiang Bufan, I'm no longer a three-year-old. You can't trick me."
"Hey, this kid, why do you keep calling me by my name?" He laughed, "Try calling me that in front of your mom next time?"
Me: "....."
Knowing I wouldn't dare, Jiang Bufan laughed heartily.
"Big sister truly is the big sister, no kid in the world she can't handle."
Forget it, Jiang Bufan is even more childish than I am.
The plan to get a sister is useless with him!
And so, I ended up at Jiang Bufan's house again.
Though called Jiang Bufan's house, it should actually be Grandma's house.
Grandma, Great Aunt, and Great Grandpa all live together there.
Hearing this confuses many people.
I was confused at first too.
The family is just too huge.
The Jiang Family is now one of the most prominent families in the Capital, often receiving various visitors.
It wasn't until last year that I finally managed to recognize everyone.
Great Grandma's house is the best.
Seeing me come, Grandma immediately ran to hold me in her arms and gave me a big kiss.
"Good Panpan, why are you here, let Grandma have a good look at you."
Great Grandpa came out, supporting himself with a cane.
Even though most of his hair is white, he's still full of energy, and his voice is robust.
"This little rascal was just here yesterday, where's your mom? Why are you here alone?"
I heard from others that when he was younger, Great Grandpa favored boys over girls and didn't like Mom.
But somehow, as he got older, he's now more dependent on Mom.
If he doesn't see her for a day, he gets anxious.
Grandma affectionately spent some time with me before asking a servant to take me upstairs to play.
I know Grandma is very busy.
After all, managing such a large fashion brand and collaborating with international partners, how could there not be much to do?
The house they live in is still the old dwelling.
But when Mom got married, it was renovated by Dad.
It became even more grand.
I took the elevator to the third floor and went straight to my exclusive toy room to play.
This place is akin to a small amusement park.
After playing for a while, I felt bored, so I started running along the corridor.
At the end, I found the study with its light still on.
The maid gestured for silence.
"Little young master, young master is inside reading."
I responded with an "oh" and was about to leave, but a voice came from the study.
"Let him come in."
At the first glance when the door opened, I saw my little uncle inside.
He was leaning by the window, flipping through the book in his hand, his expression serious.
Though he looks nearly identical to Jiang Bufan, his aura is completely different.
Jiang Bufan is roguish.
Little uncle appears refined and cool, like the moon by the window.
My youngest uncle is a genius, having already secured a recommendation to Hua University just starting high school.
Looking at the English book in little uncle's hand that I couldn't understand, I quietly climbed onto the sofa.
Perhaps noticing my hesitation, Jiang Buchen turned a page and spoke.
"Go ahead, what is it?"
In this family, little uncle is without a doubt the smartest.
See, without even looking at me, he knows I have something to say to him.
"Little uncle." I eagerly went up to him, "Do you have a way for my mom to have a little sister for me?"
In front of little uncle, I don't need to pretend.
He knows everything anyway.
Might as well be direct.
With a "pop," Jiang Buchen closed the book, glancing at me with a faint smile.
"Why do you want a sister?"
