Chapter 100 - A New Friend

Yu Dong heard Yu Mai and started pondering about how exactly sue should answer him, she didn't want Yu Mai to develop a master and slave outlook. If he truly began to consider himself as Lang Ru's master it will only hinder their future friendship. And being someone's purchased slave there was nothing great about that either. 

As she was someone from the modern world she had no thoughts such as keeping Lang Ru, this young girl who will have countless opportunities at home.  She would definitely send her to school and let her do whatever she wanted because that was what was expected of her, as an honest officer and human. 

If she told Yu Mai that she bought Lang Ru and her family, it will soon become an obstruction in Lang Ru's future, after all, who would like to have such a past? 

Thus, Yu Dong rubbed Yu Mai's head loving the silky feel of his baby hair which has gotten even softer ever since Yu Mai started washing from the water of the well where she instilled her spiritual energy " she is your friend, once she gets well Ruru will play with you. Do you like your new friend ?"

A child's mind was just this big and Yu Mai was even more innocent as he could only understand half of the things with his slow wit, so he didn't even ask or much less think about from where Ruru came from or from where did Yu Dong bring her. Instead, his eyes suddenly brightened and he immediately launched himself at Yu Dong's thigh, pulling her pants with an expression so innocent and bright that Yu Dong couldn't even tell him for pulling her pants " my... My f..friend? She will be my friend? Mai, Mai never had any friends... Sister, she will really play with me? She... She won't dislike Mai?"

Yu Mai was slow but his EQ was really good, he understood that something was wrong with him and that was why the children didn't like to play with him. It's not like he wasn't willing to make friends with them but the village kids wouldn't play with him! They would always bully him and even pushed him on the ground making his clothes dirty!

Yu Mai didn't like those kids but if his sister brought him a friend, he would treat her really well! 

Yu Dong who was holding little bun in one hand and tugging her pants from the other felt her heart ache. She knew that though Yu Mai acted like he didn't mind playing alone like he was completely alright without a single friend in the village while the other kids were friends with no less than ten kids. Her brother was just afraid of being called names or getting bullied so he would always stay at home, though she and her husband tried to play with him as much as they could - they could never fill the gap as grown-up adults. 

With Lang Ru here Yu Mai might be able to show more of his activeness and personality. 

" she would " before Yu Dong could answer Yu Mai that Lang Ru was would definitely play with him, Zhu Qian spoke up making everyone look at him.

With so many eyes looking at him Zhu Qian flushed a little still continued to speak what he was trying to say "  my daughter doesn't have friends either, she would really like making a new friend with little ma- Mai"  though Zhu Qian wanted to call Yu Mai, little master but he was interrupted by Yu Dong who furiously shook her head at him which made him to change his wording mid-sentence. 

Yu Mai didn't notice anything wrong with Zhu Qian or his words nor did he realise that the way Zhu Qian called his name midway was a bit clumsy- he was just too happy to have a friend of his own. If Ruru had no friend as well then she was just like him! Together they will become best friends! 

Yu Dong noticed that Yu Mai was happy, so she pinched his cheeks. Little bun who realised that his mother's attention was not on him, pouted feeling unhappy as he uttered a small, whining noise. His mother left him alone for more than two hours, didn't even come to feed him and he had to eat that lumpy rice and vegetable soup that his fathers cooked. 

He didn't even like vegetables! Why should he eat it? Vegetable soup wasn't even soup it was just boiled water with not one bit of flavouring! At least his mother made that icky soup taste delicious but his fathers just one word  - Ewww! 

Only little bun knew how he swallowed that unpalatable rice. So not tasty! 

He waited for two meals for his mother's delicious food and what he got was lumpy rice! and mashed potatoes! Mashed potatoes??? For him? With no salt? Really? Do his fathers not know that he ate only fine food which had the perfect balance of condiments?  months of deliciousness and then you go around and feed him this?

And now, that his mother was back she wasn't even paying attention to him! His stomach was almost grumbling like an angry cat and she was teasing his uncle who ate meat! That's right, don't think he didn't see it, he saw it! He saw his uncle sneaking in the kitchen, climbing the platform and taking out some of the dried meat before he gobbled it all up. 

Bunbun gets vegetables, little uncle gets meat? Was there no justice in this world! 

Because little bun often ate meals made from the spiritual water, his intelligence was far more developed than his peers. At his age, a baby could hardly string one rational thought but Little bun could string many, he could even distinguish, who was his biological father and who were his other fathers. He was really smart! Even though his words weren't clear and he couldn't speak what he was thinking he was still smarter! 

Little bun puffed his cheeks like a little pufferfish and then smacked Yu Dong on her cheek. He was in her arms yet his mommy was spreading her love around? How unfaithful!
