"Xiulan, ask whatever you want; today your grandfather will complete every wish of yours!" grandfather An looked at his granddaughter as he said that and other two people too nodded their head at grandfather An.
They were all looking so satisfied after easting like a pig that Xiulan wanted to ask if they hadn't eaten anything from the last century.
In mere 10 minutes she saw the face of jungle pigs and was even sure if that her crafty grandpa and gentle appearance senior brother had no qualms of leaving their image behind for food.
She can ask the world from them right now.
Xiulan smiled and asked "was the food nice?"
The three nodded at her and started praising her again.
"Xiuxiu, it was worth every treasure in the world. You can even open a restaurant and we three will even invest in you!" Grandfather An suddenly had moneygrubber eyes while the other two just licked their lips as they remembered the taste of those extremely perfect dishes.
Xiulan smiled and said ���I don't need anything. You all go rest while I will go to younger brother to give him his food."
Grandfather Chu nodded at her and told the housekeeper to help her carry the food.
The housekeeper nodded and helped Xiulan carry the food trays to the sickly grandson's room.
Chu Weicheng, was the sickly young child who was ill from birth.
Xiulan looked over at him and asked system if he can diagnose the child since she thinks that the child has no problem but was rather poisoned. The system replied in the most weird way.
It said 'HOST, YOUR LEVEL IS TOO LOW TO ORDER ME AROUND YET. KEEP YOUR ORDERS TO YOURSELF!'
What a disgraceful system.
Xiulan made simple porridge for him and added a little rose tear pill in the porridge to purify his qi. The child doesn't even have much meat on him. So poor.
She set the tray in front of him and took a spoon to feed him.
She fed him a bite of porridge with some vegetable when the child widened his eyes at her and shouted "grandfather!!"
Xiulan shocked from the shout moved but even her movements were slower than weicheng as he grabbed the porridge from her hand and ate it with gusto.
He smiled for the first time in front of her as his pale skin flushed with pink and his lips turned pink as well. He looked much better than the sickly face he had before.
"So tasty, so nice. It feels so good!" The child shouted as his grandfather entered.
"Grandfather, I feel so good. This is the best food!" He shouted to his grandfather who ran to him with tears shinning in his eyes.
The child spoke so many words to him, if it was before he wouldn't even raise his head while eating. He looked so energetic for the first time.
Grandfather Chu looked at him and caressed his head while watching him eat.
"Grandfather, I want more! I want to eat more!" Chu weicheng shouted excitedly and Xiulan watching him smile so much was delighted to see the pair looking at her expectantly and ran to get another tray when she felt a little warm in her heart.
She saw the relationship that had so many feelings and wondered when she will feel such things. She was new to the feelings because in her previous life all she did was training to kill the murderers of her parents and worked till her bones break and slept only when she couldn't even move. Even then, no one was there to encourage her, praise her or care for her; not that she expected from anyone.
Xiulan smiled at weicheng as he ate another bowl of porridge and ran towards her from his bed and said "elder sister, make more for me tomorrow, please?"
His words sounded the sweetest to Xiulan as a little ache rested in her chest. She smiled widely but then smirked thinking something.
"Ah, my shoulder ache from making so much food. Will younger brother help me make some food next time, then maybe I can think of making tomorrow too..."
"I'll make whatever you will say elder sister, this brother of yours will help you in making every food!" As if to prove his words he even thumped his chest and looked at her with greedy eyes. Of course, the greed was all for food.
Xiulan nodded her head and smiled while pinching the little guy's cheeks.
Grandfather Chu smiled looking at them and a little tear passed his eyes as he noticed his grandchild playing around with Xiulan. How long has it been since he last saw this child smile this wide?
