Early in the morning on the third day, when Niannian finished her morning routine and came downstairs, she got a big surprise.
Whom did she see?
It was her second senior brother!
"Second brother!!"
Little Yuanzi first rubbed her eyes in disbelief. After making sure it wasn't an illusion, she directly turned into a little cannonball and pounced into her second senior brother's arms.
Her voice unconsciously rose several octaves, which showed her overjoyed mood at the moment.
Yu Sheng, who was still sound asleep upstairs like a dead dog, was woken up by this cry.
Half - asleep, he thought Niannian was calling him. He quickly got out of bed, dressed in a hurry and rushed downstairs.
But when he got downstairs, he saw Little Yuanzi snuggling in the arms of a handsome man, wiggling her little bottom and smiling brightly.
There was a stranger in the house all of a sudden, so Yu Sheng looked at him warily.
He sized up the man carefully.
The man was bald, with bold and deep - set facial features, a strong build and a kind of wild beauty.
But his dressing was a bit strange.
Although he was wearing a Taoist robe, he had Buddhist beads hanging on his body and hands. There were even incense scars on his bald head.
Was he a Taoist priest or a novice monk?
Yu Sheng was completely confused.
Seeing Niannian being so intimate with him, Yu Sheng gradually relaxed his vigilance.
But then, Niannian's next words made the alarm bells ring in his mind again.
"Second brother, why did you come? Niannian misses you so much! Are you here to take me back to the Taoist temple?"
These three sentences completely broke Yu Sheng, the real elder brother.
What?
This was the flirtatious man on the phone yesterday!
What?
He wanted to take Niannian back to the Taoist temple!
No, never!
Niannian was his family's baby!
How could he let this strange uncle take her away casually!
Little Yuanzi was just happily cuddling in her second senior brother's arms and acting coquettishly when she suddenly felt herself lifted into the air.
She reached out her little hands in confusion, trying to grab her second senior brother.
Yu Sheng, who had picked up Niannian, was just like the evil mother - in - law who was determined to break up a loving couple.
"Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
Yu Sheng held Yuanzi tightly and didn't let her down, for fear that once he let go, his baby sister would be taken away.
The man sitting on the sofa, who looked neither like a monk nor a Taoist priest, smiled indifferently. He stood up and was two heads taller than Yu Sheng.
The sense of oppression came over, and Yu Sheng unconsciously took a few steps back.
"Zhang Zicheng, Niannian's second senior brother. You don't have to look at me like I'm a thief. Your father invited me in respectfully. I didn't climb in through the window."
"Who would believe you? If my dad invited you, where is he?"
Yu Sheng craned his neck and looked around for a long time but didn't find his father. He firmly didn't believe Zhang Zicheng's words.
Little Yuanzi was still wriggling her body, trying to break free from Yu Sheng's arms.
It was obvious that she really wanted to be in her second brother's arms.
Just as Niannian was thinking about whether to bite Yu Sheng to break free, Yu Shanhe finally came downstairs.
It turned out that he had just gone to the study and hadn't gone out at all.
"Yu Sheng, let go of your sister!"
As soon as Yu Shanhe came down, he saw his daughter being held in his son's arms, looking very uncomfortable.
Her little face was flushed red, looking so pitiful.
He quickly scolded his son.
Seeing that his father was really at home, Yu Sheng looked down at Little Yuanzi and silently put her down.
Finally free from restraint, the first thing Niannian did after landing was to run to Zhang Zicheng and hug his thick thigh tightly, refusing to let go.
She glared at Yu Sheng angrily, with a look of grievance in her little eyes.
Yu Shanhe also glared at Yu Sheng angrily. Then he turned around, straightened his expression and showed a kind smile. "Master Zhang, this is my son."
So...
The three adults and Little Yuanzi finally sat down calmly to talk.
Coincidentally, after Yu Shanhe knew that his family had been schemed against, he inquired everywhere and wanted to find a master of similar ability to help find out the mastermind behind it.
After going through many connections, he actually invited Niannian's second senior brother.
Before Little Yuanzi showed up, Yu Shanhe didn't know that Zhang Zicheng was his daughter's senior brother.
He just sighed that the world was really small and things were really coincidental.
"I really didn't expect that I would invite you. But don't worry, the promised reward will be given in full."
Yu Shanhe sighed about how difficult it was, but he wasn't a person who liked to take advantage, especially not from his daughter.
"It's not a coincidence. A few days ago, Niannian said she met someone whose fate had been stolen. I got interested. When someone came to me, I guessed this matter was probably related to Niannian. Otherwise, I wouldn't take on such a troublesome job. The reward is not necessary. I'm not short of that money."
Zhang Zicheng held the little bun in one arm and stroked Niannian's soft hair, feeling satisfied.
He declined the reward offered by Yu Shanhe.
Come on, he was a single man. The money he earned was either given to his master or spent on his junior sister.
If he took Yu Shanhe's money, he would still give it to Niannian in the end.
They were all family. Why bother with such a hassle?
"But senior brother, I've already lifted the curse on second brother."
Little Yuanzi blinked in confusion.
She understood.
Her second senior brother came because of the curse on Yu Sheng.
But the curse had already been lifted by her. What else did her second senior brother want to do?
Could it be that she had really regressed a lot recently?
Did she still need her senior brother to do it again to completely solve the problem?
As soon as Zhang Zicheng saw his junior sister's expression, he knew what was going on in her little head.
What children were most proud of was their skills.
They never hesitated to praise her on the mountain.
So he definitely couldn't let the little one doubt herself like this.
"Don't think blindly. You've done a great job."
The praised little Yuanzi immediately felt better.
Yeah!
Her senior brother said she was great.
Sure enough, she was still the most amazing.
"Dad, we have Niannian at home. Why did you invite a master back? Besides, look at his dressing. He has Buddhist beads and a Taoist robe. He might be a half - baked quack!"
Yu Sheng still had his usual sharp tongue.
He was muttering in his heart.
Why was Niannian angry when he said he wanted to find someone else to solve the problem yesterday?
But today, when his father invited a master, Niannian was so happy?
The whole family was double - standard. He was so pitiful!
As soon as he said this, Yu Shanhe slapped his son on the head.
"What are you talking about! Apologize to Niannian's senior brother right away!"
Niannian also glared at him. Her cute and fierce look was extremely adorable.
"If you keep talking like that about my senior brother, I'll never talk to you again!"
Only Zhang Zicheng, the one being questioned, remained calm.
He even raised his hands in a Buddhist salute and recited a Buddhist incantation. "Amitabha, Infinite Heavenly Venerable. I practice both Taoism and Buddhism. Do you have any objections?"
Yu Sheng, who was being targeted by the whole family: ...
He was about to cry, okay?!
