Chapter 7: The Tsundere Little Queen, An Yalin

I did not tell him about Uncle Xu, as I knew no one would believe it. Before I left the house, I secretly greeted Uncle Xu, who nodded at me. He intended to stay by his daughter's side until the eve of the Night of Resurrection

Is this a time for gloating?

Uncle Xu rarely smiled: "Are you referring to her personality? She has been like this since childhood, indifferent to everything, keeping all her emotions locked away in her heart. You will suffer for it in the future."

Uncle Xu also sat by the bed, gently looking at Yalin; he just wanted to spend a little more time with her.

Well, I promised her deceased father

This child, sigh, although appearing very aloof on the surface, now seems to be gradually emerging from the shadow of their father's passing, yet who knows how many things are buried in their heart

"It was I who discovered you at the bottom of the cliff, and it was I who saved you. If it weren't for me, you would not have the opportunity to push me away now."

After a night of silence, the next day after breakfast, I took An Yalin and left my grandfather's house, preparing to return to school. After a night of calm, An Yalin's mood improved somewhat, at least she was no longer refusing to eat or drink.

"Look, that is the location where you fell off the cliff." I carried An Yalin to the mountain ring road and pointed to a section of the cliff valley.

I seem to have realized that what I just said was inappropriate, "Uh, I apologize."

"How are you so clever! However, since you know that I have gone through great hardships to save you, you should treat me a little better!" I helplessly carried An Yalin as I trudged along the rugged mountain path. Fortunately, although I am neither human nor ghost now, I possess great strength.

I picked up the clear porridge from the table and sat down in front of Yalin. "Your father entrusted you to me before he passed away. No matter what, I will take good care of you. Since I promised your father, I will not go back on my word. You have just woken up and are very weak, so please drink the porridge."

In the evening, I assisted my grandfather in preparing a table full of meat dishes. Thanks to my grandfather's reputation, I managed to coax An Yalin into drinking a few sips of chicken soup, which made my face flush with embarrassment.

"Forget it, it's not your fault that your intelligence is low," Yalin said淡淡地.

"Who asked you to take care of me?" Her tone was very cold

"Don't touch me, I don't know you." She frowned and pushed me away

My goodness, I even had two bowls of chicken soup this morning, such a small stomach capacity yet it is not small at all

I am not a little kid, I am 10 years old! Call me by my full name, An Yalin! An Yalin is showing signs of getting angry

When he brushed past me, every pore on my body opened in fright. Although I have seen quite a few ghosts, there is no way around it; just the mention of the word "ghost" sends chills down my spine

Nanjing, I have arrived

I am 20 years old, so what if I call you a little brat? In the future, I will also support you, which makes me somewhat like your father.

Her frail body trembled, and she was about to fall off the bed. I quickly stepped forward and caught her. I had not noticed it when I carried her back earlier, but there was a faint fragrance on Yalin, the scent of grass under the sunlight.

I went into the dense forest and took out a knife I found in Uncle Xu's car to sharpen a bamboo pole. The muscles in my arms tensed as I exerted myself, and with a powerful throw, the bamboo pole was easily shot over 400 meters away

Hiss, why do you have so many questions? Just squat down when I tell you to.

"Lie down inside." I said to An Yalin while holding the blanket.

Upon hearing my definitive answer, Yalin fell silent. She lowered her head slightly, her fine black hair obscuring her eyes. Although she did not cry or make a scene, I could feel her sadness; it was a wordless weeping

Thank you, An Yalin said with her lips pressed together, her tone lacking a bit of coldness, after all, I had saved her and also took care of her father's body

"Today has passed, and there are still 3 days left." Uncle Xu's tone was filled with reluctance; the separation between life and death is the farthest distance. Although An Yalin was right in front of him, he could not reach out to touch her.

"So you take your mother's surname," I nodded, "I can see that you are quite mature, so I won't say any comforting words. I have already buried your father's body"

She has stopped speaking, as if she has acquiesced.

Are you going to take her to school? It would be better to leave her in the care of your parents. Grandfather is worried that I won't have time to take care of An Yalin while attending school

I am an injured person, and when you rescued me, did you not carry me for several kilometers along the mountain path to the village

However, I cannot help but think that Yalin, when she grows up, will definitely embody the characteristics of a queen-like woman, it is simply the cultivation of a queen

My name is An Yalin, please call me by my full name, only my father can call me Yalin

"Don't stop, hurry up and go." An Yalin only glanced at me and hurriedly urged me to leave, seemingly not wanting to witness this sorrowful scene

She is quite peculiar, I said

"What are you doing?" she said in a flat tone, her mood low.

Where is my dad? Why are you wearing my dad's clothes?" Yalin suddenly realized something, her delicate brows tightly furrowed, displaying a look of deep concern.

On the way, I encountered a wandering spirit, but fortunately, it seemed to have no malicious intent to harm, so it did not pay any attention to me; perhaps it thought I could not see it

"Your whole family is effeminate." I reacted childishly and replied quietly.

Cough, Yang Yun, my daughter has a somewhat aloof temperament due to the lack of maternal affection since childhood. In the future, as you spend more time with her, you will become accustomed to it

I certainly refuse to compromise; she is already 10 years old, and her weight is not insignificant

You old bastard, I wanted to explode on the spot and deal with this 10-year-old little queen, but considering that Uncle Xu was still watching, I decided to behave myself instead

The sun gradually rose, and I held in my arms a bank card worth 10 million, carrying my little queen Anyalin on my back, accompanied by the ghost Uncle Xu, as we boarded the bus heading to Nanjing City

"On what basis? Don't you have legs? The distance to hitch a ride on the Ring Mountain Road is 6 kilometers. Do you want me to exhaust myself?"

Grandma, I have been crying and calling for my parents by your bedside for a long time, yet you ignore me. Grandpa casually said a few words, and you immediately started drinking some soup!

"Tell me the truth, did my father die?" Yalin's demeanor was as cold as frost, her gaze fixed directly on my eyes

What the hell, are today's children so hard to deceive? And the tone, it sounds so cold. Damn it, I am your savior, and I ended up with a tsundere beast. This is just ridiculous.

Although I am young, it does not mean I am foolish. I remember when my father's car fell off the cliff; at the moment of the fall, he held me in his arms. My father was in grave danger then.

I disregarded An Yalin's objections and pushed her onto the bed

I hunted 6 pheasants and a wild boar in the dense forest, bringing them back to nourish Yalin and grandfather. I do not know if it is because I am "full," but I no longer feel the impulse at the sight of blood

While waiting for the bus, I felt a slight dampness on my back, perhaps it was Anyalin's tears, as the scene evoked emotions that I could no longer suppress

Aren't you supposed to sleep on the floor? An Yalin said irritably

Perhaps only when I can confront the Ghost King alone will I be able to enter the tomb, but what exactly is the Ghost King? It's so frustrating

Uncle Xu awkwardly said on the side

Uncle Xu, how much longer do you have?

As soon as I crouched down, An Yalin suddenly jumped onto my back, saying, "The path is difficult to walk, carry me down the mountain."

"Damn it, show me how you sleep on the floor. This is a mountain village, and the floor is made of mud. Do you think this is your luxurious home?" I said irritably, as the children of wealthy families are indeed spoiled.

"Crouch down," An Yalin suddenly said to me as we left the village

Upon returning home, I inquired with my grandfather about the matter of the cemetery. My grandfather was unaware, but my intuition suggested that he seemed to be concealing something from me

Damn it, for the sake of Uncle Xu and the sum of 10 million, I will endure it. Moreover, Uncle Xu is still in my shadow; if I were to mistreat An Yalin in front of him, I can’t guarantee what Uncle Xu might do.

Anya Lin is feeling down and has no appetite

Uncle Xu spoke to me, and no one else could hear it except for me

This is your father's last wish before he passed away. Do you want your father to die with regrets?

Well, yes, you are right, I won't say much more. I nodded and stepped aside; this child is very strong and seems not to need my comfort

I have placed the porridge on the bedside table; feel free to eat it when you are hungry. I will go out for a walk. I understand that she needs some space to be alone and quiet.

It increased by 100 meters compared to the early morning, which seems to be due to the consumption of human blood. Human blood not only altered my appearance but also enhanced my strength

"Xiaoyun, will you take that poor child with you in the future?" I encountered the grandfather who was feeding the chickens outside the door

Could it be that this little queen has a preference for older men? No, it is more accurate to say she has a preference for grandfathers

Little brat, move a bit, you occupy such a large space with just a little bit of yourself

I feel that her mind is very mature, and when she spoke about this matter, she did not reveal any feelings of sadness

"Go sleep on the ground." She haughtily tossed out these 4 words before turning around and leaving

There are only two beds at grandpa's house; he sleeps on one, leaving you with the one you are lying on. I will sleep with you.

When it comes to "home," An Yalin suddenly fell silent; her father had passed away, and that home no longer held any meaning.

Entering the inner room, An Yalin was still quietly lying on the bed, her eyes blankly staring at the skylight. The porridge on the bedside table had not been touched. I exchanged a glance with Uncle Xu, and we both sighed.

I suddenly found it quite challenging; other people's children are so adorable and well-behaved. Yalin is just too cold, isn't she? Goodness, is this really a child? I even doubt that her intelligence and emotional quotient could outshine mine by 18 streets.

You old man, I was quite displeased at that time. Previously, being a bit unattractive meant being a loser, and now that I've become handsome, they call me a sissy. Being a man is so exhausting

What are you doing

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I wanted to further investigate the cemetery where the burial would take place. However, there was an invisible mysterious force at the edge of the cemetery that prevented my entry. After trying for a long time and calling out for a long time, no one responded to me, so I had no choice but to leave in disappointment

I have my own plans; I have decided to keep An Yalin by my side to take care of her. She evokes an inexplicable sense of pity in me, despite her aloof personality

Well, since you have already made your decision, then do as you wish. Grandfather does not insist.

An Yalin tightly clasped my neck with both hands

"This child will be fine in a few days," Uncle Xu said, patting me on the shoulder, as if to suggest that I should pay a little more attention.

"Well, your father is going on a business trip and won't be back for a long time." This is how it is portrayed on television

I feel the warmth on my back, and my heart is filled with tenderness

Cough, cough, his father gave me a lot of money, enough to support her, and I can rent a room off-campus. Moreover, the university coursework is not too demanding

I ignored her and got into bed holding the blanket
