After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Chapter 239 Elder Uncle Tells a Story

"Huh?"

Two voices exclaimed simultaneously, but unfortunately, Xi Mo could only hear Zhouzhou's voice.

There was a hint of understanding in Qin Lie's eyes, just as he had expected.

However, Zhouzhou didn't guess it right. Her mouth hung open, her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him.

She never expected this answer.

After a while, her little brain finally started working, and a strange expression appeared on her face. After a while, she asked, "But Sharp Tongue Uncle said that Mom was an orphan. Did you make a mistake, uncle?"

She knew what an orphan was. She was an orphan when she was on the mountain before, but not anymore after coming down.

Xi Mo shook his head. "There is no mistake."

As he said that, he took out a document. "This is a DNA test report. Your mother is indeed my sister."

Zhouzhou took the document, but the words on it made her dizzy. She shook her head and handed it directly to Qin Lie.

Qin Lie took it, and An Ya quickly floated over.

She never expected to be involved in this gossip as well.

Just now, she had imagined a lot of possibilities, like grudges, jealousy due to love, peculiar preferences, but she didn't think in this direction at all.

When she was alive, she was an orphan, and now that she was a lonely soul, it was the first time she learned that she had family. An Ya didn't know what expression to make.

On the examination report, it clearly stated that they were confirmed to be siblings.

Seeing them standing still, Zhouzhou became anxious. She tugged on Qin Lie's clothes and looked at him expectantly. When she saw him nod, she was shocked once again.

So, Mom is really Gentle Uncle's sister.

No, it should be Elder Uncle.

Zhouzhou ran to Xi Mo's side and called out crisply, "Elder Uncle!"

Looking at the little girl, Xi Mo's heart softened. He glanced at Qin Lie and noticed that when he was looking at the document, he shifted slightly to the side, as if someone else was also looking at it.

He narrowed his eyes, touched Zhouzhou's head gently, and calmly said, "Zhouzhou, shouldn't we invite another guest to show up?"

He knew.

Zhouzhou smiled foolishly, scratched her head, and immediately took out a stick of incense from her bag and lit it. "Elder Uncle, it's not a guest, it's my mom."

Xi Yan had been watching Ye Lingfeng at the door and didn't let him in. Seeing that he was behaving, he walked into the room. As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw a transparent figure in the living room, and looking down, there was no shadow!

He instantly froze in place and let out a loud cry, "Ah!"

There's a ghost!!!

Xi Mo nodded, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "What else do you want to know?"

Zhouzhou was also puzzled by his question. He had made it quite clear, but it felt like something was missing.

It was like when Sharp Tongue Uncle told her about the process of her mother falling in love, he talked for hours.

Uncle Xi Yan burst into laughter, "Are you really expecting elder brother to tell a story?"

He was the terminator of topics, sparing with words. Today, he had already spoken the most he had in his entire life.

Listening to him tell a story, maybe in the next lifetime.

Hearing this, Zhouzhou looked over and asked expectantly, "Then, Younger Uncle, can you tell a story?"

Xi Yan arrogantly tousled his hair, raised his chin, and said, "Of course."

Zhouzhou's eyes lit up, and she tried to move towards him with her small stool. However, to her surprise, a pair of large hands held her arms before she could reach him.

Her legs were left dangling, and by the time she reacted, she was already sitting on Xi Mo's lap.

Xi Mo sat upright, his handsome face showing little expression. He looked down at Zhouzhou with focused eyes and said, "You can ask anything you want to know."

If she asked, he would answer.

No need to seek answers from others.

Understanding his meaning, Zhouzhou blinked her eyes, then suddenly grinned, revealing a small gap in her teeth. She stretched her arms and hugged him, pouncing into his embrace. Her soft little body pressed against his chest and rubbed against it.

His heart trembled when her chest collided with his. Xi Mo's eyes flickered, it was the first time he had held a child, and though it felt unfamiliar, the warmth spread from his heart to his entire body.

Zhouzhou really liked Xi Mo, and she was well-behaved at the moment. She wriggled out of his embrace and adjusted her sitting position. Then she held his hand and placed it on her chubby waist, directing him, "Uncle, you have to hold me like this, be careful not to drop me. Dad always holds me like this."

The little girl earnestly taught him how to hold her, and the scene appeared somewhat comical.

Qin Lie couldn't help but flash a smile in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

On the other hand, Xi Mo took it seriously. After holding her properly, he asked, "Like this?"

"Yes!" Zhouzhou gave him a thumbs-up. "Elder Uncle is really smart."

Pfft—

Xi Yan burst into laughter again, but before he could say anything, Xi Mo's cold gaze shifted towards him. His expression was devoid of emotion, his eyes sharp. There was no trace of the gentleness he had when facing the little girl.

Xi Yan instantly straightened his back, no longer daring to laugh.

Xi Mo withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou was also looking at him, rubbing her chin as she pondered. Then, with a crisp voice, she said, "Elder Uncle, tell us how you discovered that my mom is actually your sister."

Saying that, she took out a bag of melon seeds from her bag and gave him a meaningful glance.

She was ready, it was time to begin.
