Chapter 2761: Kiddo?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to the siheyuan.

Right when they walked into the siheyuan, they saw a little kid, which was the tree vine, playing with birds in the yard. Once the tree vine saw Gu Ning, he snorted and looked aggrieved.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Ning asked curiously. It was the first time that she had seen the tree vine so aggrieved and mad. Did someone bully him?

If so, only Shangguan Yang could do that.

She heard that Shangguan Yang enjoyed making fun of tree vine recently. Because they needed to work during the day, Lao Zhang, Stone, and tree vine were left in the house.

Although the tree vine was hundreds of years old, he lacked social experience and was as childish as a little kid. So it was fun to tease him.

The tree vine was often angered by Shangguan Yang, but he also hung out with Shangguan Yang for delicious food and entertainment.

He was completely a foodie now.

“You didn’t invite me to your birthday party. If I’m just a tree vine, I can accept that, but I can change myself into a kid now. I heard from Senior Shangguan that you prepared a lot of delicious food. I even told Senior Shangguan that I missed you.” The tree vine complained with displeasure.

Hearing that, Gu Ning understood why he was mad, so she explained. “I didn’t know about it. It was Shaoting’s idea. Why didn’t you blame your master for not taking you there?”

The tree vine opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say. He even panicked a little.

At this moment, Shangguan Yang walked out and rolled his eyes at the tree vine. “How could you complain about that? You secretly drank my alcohol the day before yesterday. You were completely drunk. You didn’t wake up until yesterday morning.”

Hearing that, Gu Ning was amused. “You’re a kid. How can you drink? And you were even drunk for so long!”

The tree vine lowered his head and didn’t dare to meet their eyes. He stammered and explained. “I-I just saw Senior Shangguan drink once in a while. I was curious about the taste. S-So I secretly tried a little…”

“A little? If you had only tried a little, how did you get so drunk? You finished the whole bottle!” Shangguan Yang said with displeasure. It was a bottle of quality alcohol, but the tree vine wasted it.

If the tree vine could taste the quality of drinks, Shangguan Yang would be willing to share it with him, but the tree vine couldn’t tell the difference!

The tree vine lowered his head, but still pouted.

“Oh, I plan to return to Kunlun Mountain tomorrow. There is nothing special to deal with. I just want to pay a visit,” said Shangguan Yang. There was nothing serious, but he missed it after being gone for so long.

“Sure, but I need to go back to our military base tomorrow. I can’t go with you,” said Leng Shaoting.

“I don’t need you to go with me. I’m not a kid,” said Shangguan Yang. He understood that Leng Shaoting wasn’t worried about his safety, but was afraid that he would be lonely if he went there by himself.

In that case, Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning said nothing further. Gu Ning had her own business to deal with so she had no time to go with Shangguan Yang.

After staying there for a while, the tree vine walked towards Gu Ning and said, “Master, can you take me to eat roasted lamb kebab?”

He rounded his doe eyes and begged Gu Ning. It seemed his mouth was watering.

When the tree vine hung out with Shangguan Yang the other day, he had a few sticks of roasted lamb kebab and couldn’t forget it.

“Let’s go!” Gu Ning didn’t have the heart to say no to such an adorable kid.

“Oh, master, you’re the best!” The tree vine jumped in happiness. Shangguan Yang rolled his eyes again, but he immediately said to Gu Ning, “Please bring twenty sticks back for me.”

The tree vine became a foodie under Shangguan Yang’s influence. In fact, he didn’t have much interest in food, but he gradually fell in love with it after eating a lot with Shangguan Yang.

“Are twenty sticks enough?” asked Gu Ning. She thought it was barely enough for Shangguan Yang. After all, Shangguan Yang could eat four times as much as her.

“Well!” Shangguan Yang understood what Gu Ning was implying and felt slightly embarrassed.

“Senior Shangguan, didn’t you eat forty sticks last time? Why do you only want twenty sticks this time? Is it enough?” The tree vine added.

Shangguan Yang gave him a glare, but the tree vine felt that he hadn’t said anything wrong. He was only afraid that twenty sticks weren’t enough to fill Shangguan Yang’s stomach.

“Then forty sticks please.” Shangguan Yang said to Gu Ning.

“I’ll just buy more and we can have it together,” said Gu Ning. Then she took the tree vine out. Leng Shaoting, however, stayed with Shangguan Yang in the siheyuan.

“Where did you eat last time?” Gu Ning asked the tree vine when they walked out of the siheyuan.

“It’s not far away from here. Go straight in this direction, then turn left. We’ll soon see it,” said the tree vine, pointing in to the left.

Without delay, they set off.

When they walked by the park, they suddenly heard a kid’s voice. “Hi, Brother Teng!”

Upon hearing that voice, Gu Ning turned to look at the kid. A little girl, who was about three years old, ran towards them, or the tree vine to be specific.

However, the tree vine was displeased to see the girl. It seemed that he disliked her.

“Master, be quick, I don’t want to see that little kiddo,” said the tree vine. He pulled the corner of Gu Ning’s clothing, then walked quickly.

Because Leng Shaoting told him that males had to keep an appropriate distance from females, he didn’t dare to pull Gu Ning’s hand.

Gu Ning didn’t care much about that. Although the tree vine was hundreds of years old, he was just a kid.

Shangguan Yang often took him for a walk in this park, so they made friends with many people, especially females. Nearly every female, whether they were old or young, was attracted by the tree vine. They surrounded him every time he showed up, which bothered the tree vine.

Afterwards, the tree vine refused to come here with Shangguan Yang, but he sometimes still gave in for the delicious food. Actually, it was funny in Shangguan Yang’s eyes when he was almost driven crazy by the bunch of females.

“Ha-ha.” Gu Ning snorted with laughter.

A kiddo? Wasn’t he a kiddo too? How could he say the girl was a kiddo?

Alright, although he had the look of a child now, he actually wasn’t a kid.

“Hey, Brother Teng, wait for me!” The little girl almost cried in anxiety when the tree vine ran away from her.

Seeing that, the little girl’s grandfather immediately ran after her when she ran towards the gate of the park.
