Chapter 18: Conversation with Master
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Eldest Senior Brother doted on this little junior sister of his very much. Perhaps it was because she was at the age where she could be his daughter. Although he was a bachelor, he also liked children very much.
He was the eldest and regarded his junior brothers and sisters as his younger siblings. Only Xing Jiuan made him feel that he was taking care of a daughter.
She was just too young.
When Xing Jiuan first arrived here, she was only three years old. At that time, Eldest Senior Brother was already nineteen years old.
He was sixteen years older than Xing Jiuan.
He went to bring some fruits and snacks over and placed them in front of her. “Senior Brother will prepare a bowl of noodles for you. Eat some of these first to fill your stomach.”
The youngest junior brother looked at Xing Jiuan in surprise as he witnessed this scene.
When he came here, he had met quite a few senior brothers and sisters, but none of them could make Eldest Senior Brother treat them so politely.
It was as if he was taking care of a child.
Xing Jiuan took an orange and peeled it to eat.
She sat in her seat, closest to the Master.
Master was in his fifties and his hair was a little white. He looked like a kind old man.
“Jiuan, come with me.” His voice was a little stern. Xing Jiuan did not understand why, but she followed obediently.
Senior Sister had gone to cook ginger soup while Eldest Senior Brother went to cook some noodles. After the two of them had also left, only Little Junior Brother was left in the room.
For some reason, he suddenly recalled a moment when his master was sitting in the yard and playing chess with him. Master had suddenly said, “It’s a robbery.”
He did not understand at that time and asked about it, but Master did not answer.
Looking at it now, he felt that those words had something to do with Little Senior Sister.
…
“Master…” Xing Jiuan had just opened her mouth when the Master spoke.
“Jiuan, have you not been living well recently?”
Xing Jiuan did not speak as she lowered her head in silence.
“Actually, some things may not be just what you see.
“Maybe life isn’t as… unbearable as you think.”
Xing Jiuan looked over.
She was very smart. Extremely smart. Hearing the Master say this, she thought of an unimaginable outcome…
“Master…”
“Jiuan, listen to me.
“All kinds of tribulations are just part of the process of your growth.
“Also, Master will never abandon you…” He touched Xing Jiuan’s hair. “You should know that.”
Xing Jiuan pursed her lips. “Master, did you name me Xing Se because my life back then was too hard?”
“Nonsense.” Master pretended to be dissatisfied.
“I named you Xing Se because… if your name was bitter, your life would be sweet.
“Jiuan, there are all kinds of things in the world. If there is reincarnation, there will naturally be karma. Your karma has already ended. Suffering will no longer torment you.
“Xing Jiuan, you are free now, so continue to be willful. I will be your shield forever.”
Xing Jiuan’s face was a little cold. “Master clearly wants to snatch even chocolates from me, yet you say that you would protect me.”
“I’ll give it to you, I’ll give it to you. Eat it, eat it. When you feel uncomfortable after eating them, you won’t cry anymore.” Master took out a large handful of chocolates from his pocket. It was obvious that he had prepared them beforehand.
Xing Jiuan liked to eat chocolates, but she couldn’t really eat a lot of them. It was fine if she ate a few, but if she ate too much, her stomach would feel uncomfortable. Since she was young, her chocolate intake had been controlled and restricted. She could only eat one or two times a month, and it was an especially small piece.
Looking at the chocolates in front of her, she chose the smallest piece.
