Chapter 2: The Little One Is a Boy!

An Luo tore off a tissue and gently dabbed the little fellow's tears.

Suddenly, the phone on the ground buzzed. An Luo picked it up and saw the screen display:

The streamer you follow is about to go live!

Countdown 9 minutes 56 seconds…

An Luo's expression sharpened.

Does this mean Yu'an will be sent back in nine minutes!

"Drink some water first!"

An Luo quickly ushered the little fellow to sit down, poured a cup of warm water, then dashed into the kitchen, took out the heated milk, and also brought out a bag of toast bread.

"Eat some of this to take the edge off your hunger."

After that, she rummaged through cabinets looking for things.

She couldn't fight a wild boar, but the Old Madam had heatstroke—she could drink some Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, and there was also cold compress…

An Luo took a small bottle of mineral water frozen rock-hard from the freezer compartment of the Bing Xiang, and also found two bottles of medicated oil.

She dug out a small chest bag and stuffed everything inside in one go.

She tucked two Milk Candies into the gaps.

Thinking of that little girl wrestling with the wild boar, An Luo ran back to the kitchen and took out the Tiao Gu Dao.

When she returned to the Ke Ting, she saw a certain little fellow holding a cup of water in both hands, eyeing the milk and bread longingly, swallowing his saliva, his face full of yearning.

She sighed helplessly.

"Why aren't you eating?"

Yu'an stood up and bowed again, striking quite the pose of a little grown-up.

"Many thanks to Fairy Sister for bestowing food and water, but I wish to bring them back to share with Great-Grandmother, Grandmother, and my aunts."

The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, until finally he lowered his head in shame.

Would Fairy Sister think him ungrateful?

An Luo crouched down and said softly, "You can bring them back, but that doesn't stop you from eating now."

As she spoke, she popped a Milk Candy into the little fellow's mouth.

The rich milky fragrance and sweet taste instantly won over Xiao Yu'an's taste buds.

An Luo took out her usual Fan Bu Gou Dai for grocery shopping, and stuffed five or six steamed buns inside, along with two plump, juicy big apples.

If she weren't afraid those officials would snatch them, and afraid Yu'an couldn't carry them either, she would definitely have packed more.

"This little bag has medicine in it—you must keep it on your person at all times, understand?"

As she spoke, An Luo helped Yu'an sling the chest bag across his body, hidden beneath his wide, reddish-brown clothes.

In the remaining two minutes, An Luo helped Yu'an treat the wound on his hand, and explained the dosage and usage of the medicine.

Xiao Yu'an munched on bread while listening earnestly.

The countdown ended, a flash of white light, and along with the Zhu Bo start-up notification sound from An Luo's phone, Yu'an appeared once more in the Live Stream Room.

An Luo looked around, feeling a little dazed. If not for the two-thirds-empty milk on the table and the bits of dirt on the floor, everything that had just happened would have seemed like a dream.

With trembling hands, she sent the Live Stream Room's Jie Lian to the dorm group chat.

Xiang Wu Zhuo Dang Ma Luo: Sisters, I've encountered a paranormal event!

Xiang Wu Zhuo Dang Ma Luo:!!!

Qu Fu Liu Zi:???

Qu Fu Liu Zi: Luoluo, are you okay? What live stream room? I can't even click into it!

An Luo:???

Can't watch it?

To verify her suspicion, An Luo sent the link again.

On the other side, having returned to the Mi Lin, Yu'an looked around and called out softly.

"Fairy Sister?"

Hearing the voice, An Luo hurriedly typed out a line of text.

【Yu'an, try speaking to me in your heart.】

Yu'an nodded and silently said in his heart:

【Thank you, Fairy Sister!】

An Luo indeed saw this sentence in the private message section.

This feature is great!

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.

"Watch out!"

"It's Grandmother's voice!"

Yu'an followed the direction of the sound and ran toward it on his little legs.

He saw Wu Xiaowei using his blade to block the wild boar's tusks, while Cheng Qiuluo supported Meng Shi to one side.

"Grandmother! Little Aunt!"

Hearing this voice, the two were greatly shocked.

"How did you come back?!"

Perhaps sensing that these grown-ups were not easy to deal with, the wild boar turned its head, tusks forward, and charged at Yu'an.

Yu'an stumbled back two steps in fright, tripped on thorns, and fell on his bottom.

Watching helplessly as the wild boar closed in, An Luo's fingers were a blur on the screen.

【Quick, open the medicated oil and splash it into the wild boar's eyes!】

Yu'an hurriedly fished out a small green bottle from his bosom and fumbled to unscrew it.

When the boar was one meter away, he hurled it over; it happened to strike the boar's snout, and the splashing medicated oil flew into its eyes. The boar shrieked in agony, shaking its head wildly and rolling on the ground.

Cheng Qiuluo seized the chance and rushed over; Yu'an quickly handed her the Tiao Gu Dao.

"Little Aunt, the knife!"

Taking the knife, Cheng Qiuluo leaped up and landed on the boar's back. With a *puchi*, the blade in her hand plunged into the boar's neck.

What a fine blade!

She marveled inwardly.

The boar crashed to the ground, and the few of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Xiaowei slumped to the ground, gasping for breath in great gulps.

Beyond the screen, the taut string in An Luo's mind also loosened.

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

Suddenly, her phone rang—an incoming call. Seeing the caller ID, An Luo's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, she's really late this time!

"Boss, how come you watch the Zhu Bo every day? Who exactly is in that Live Stream Room? There's clearly nothing there at all. When are you planning to come?"

Hearing Lin Lin's listless voice on the other end, An Luo threw on a sun-protection jacket and ran outside.

"I'll be right there."

Well, she had sent it to the wrong group just now.

But this also confirmed her guess—indeed, only she could see Zaituan's Live Stream Room.

An Luo hurriedly changed her clothes, sent a bullet comment, and headed out.

【Yu'an, Elder Sister has to go handle things now. Don't tell anyone about what just happened, and stay safe.】

On the other side, hearing this voice, Yu'an nodded heavily.

【Don't worry, Fairy Sister, I won't say anything. I'll definitely take good care of myself and my family!】

"What happened?"

Seeing this inexplicable gesture, Meng Shi asked in confusion.

Yu'an covered her little mouth and shook her head frantically, her big eyes darting around.

"N-nothing."

Meng Shi raised an eyebrow slightly. Looks like the little one has a secret, but she didn't press the matter.

"Alright."

In any case, the Pomo would get it out of her eventually.

Thinking of Cheng Old Madam, Meng Shi's face showed worry.

She wondered how her Pomo was doing—please, please don't let anything have happened to her.

"Wu Xiaowei!"

A few Jiedai arrived late, in no great hurry.

"Are you alright?"

"Heavens! What a huge boar!"

"Wu Xiaowei, what fine skill!"

The few Jiedai looked at the boar and beamed.

They were already calculating which parts to eat and how.

Hearing these flattering words, Wu Xiaowei's face showed embarrassment.

Could he possibly say that right now his hands and feet were weak, and that just now he hadn't even been as brave as a mere Yao Tou?

"Eh? That knife looks pretty good!"

One of the Jiedai noticed the Tiao Gu Dao in Cheng Qiuluo's hand.

Cheng Qiuluo gripped the knife tightly, watching him warily.

Wu Xiaowei walked over.

"This knife—there's no way I'm letting you people hold it."

Yu'an couldn't hold back and loudly objected.

"But this was given to me by an immor… kind person!"

This exclamation drew the attention of the others. One Jiedai spotted the canvas bag in Yu'an's arms, and his eyes lit up.

"Oh! I didn't notice before, but this little girl here has gotten quite a few good things!"

Hearing this, Yu'an turned and burrowed into her Grandmother's embrace, clutching the canvas bag tighter.

Thinking of that small green bottle, Wu Xiaowei narrowed his eyes slightly, then pointed at the Jiedai and cursed them with a laugh.

"Enough! Every last one of you is sly as a monkey—when we were fighting the boar just now, not a single shadow of you was to be seen, but now that it's time to divide the meat, you run faster than rabbits!"

After that, he waved his hand.

"Quickly carry the pig back, clean it up properly, light the fire, and let's have a good meal!"

Then he looked at the three members of the Cheng Family.

"Considering you contributed the fine blade and deserve credit for slaying the boar, that bag of things—you may keep it yourselves!"

Arriving at the Bian Li Dian, An Luo had just opened the Live Stream Room when she heard this line.

She immediately rolled her eyes.

What a thick skin!

Yu'an glared at Colonel Wu, her little face flushed red, almost crying from anger, clutching her tiny fists and opening her mouth to say something, but Meng Shi covered her mouth.

"Mmph…"

All of these were given to me by Fairy Sister!

They were all mine to begin with!

This Colonel Wu is really…

Too much!

Meng Shi held the squirming little body tightly with one arm and firmly covered Yu'an's mouth with the other.

Now was not the time to argue with the Jiedai; if things escalated, the things in Yu'an's arms might not be safe either!

【Yu'an, don't be angry, it's just a sword, right? And that one was already old, I'll give you a few new ones later, Elder Sister!】

Hearing Fairy Sister's gentle voice, Yu'an pouted her little lips and hugged the canvas bag without speaking.

Feeling a sudden chill on her chest, Yu'an whipped her head around and shouted.

"Go back quickly, save Grandmother!"

Cheng Qiuluo and Lady Da hurried to run out of the Lin Zi.

On the other side, An Luo tapped open Yu'an's profile page and saw the bio read:

4 years old.

Male!

An Luo:!!!

So this little one was a boy dressed as a girl!
