Mo Dao Zu Shi: Together |Zhuiling| ?

Chapter- 14

Then he went towards the stone table where still the kettle filled woth hot green tea was kept. He poured tea into two cups.

JiangCheng came and sat on one of the chair. He took the cup that was just now served by JinLing. He sipped the tea, and as soon as he sipped the tea he spit it out. He felt his tongue was gonna burn.

JinLing took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea from the table while saying, "Be careful. This tea was brought just a moment ago."

JiangCheng ofcousre felt embarassed because he wasn't even able to handel a bit of hight temperature. This was for sure a shocking matter, but what was more shocking was actually JinLing. He ofcousre felt that JinLing was acting unusually different.

He couldn't help but think is this nephew of his was possessed by some spirit.

He flatly asked, "Who are you?"

JinLing, "..."

Not getting anything in response his suspicious grew even more. He was going to activate zidian to test if his suspiciousneds was true or not. On the other hand, JinLing was totally speechless. He only wanted to be good to this lonely jiujiu of his.

He said, "What? You don't know who I am?!"

JiangCheng pointed at the tea cup and said, "Because real JinLing would never pour tea into a cup."

"..."

This time JinLing really was utterly speechless. What does he expect of him?! For a moment he didn't knew whether to laugh or to cry.

But then he came to an undestanding that his jiujiu has been so lonely for more than a decade. If someone is being nice to him, he would for sure feel uneasy.

By thinking this, JinLing's heart only felt heavy. Hus Jiujiu has always sacrifised for him, but he, the arrogant brat, had never even said thanks to his guardian.

JinLing softly said, "Jiujiu I only wanted to be nice to you."

JiangCheng's eyes involunteerly widened.

JinLing said, "You're always so alone." He looked up at JiangCheng and continied, "I wanted to make your loneliness go away."

JiangCheng muttered to himself, "This little kid. When did he became so...?"

When did he became so observant. So thoughtful. Also, when did he learnt to say those cringy words?! But those words somehow made JiangCheng's heart warm. Only by a bit, but it still did.

JiangCheng again sipped tea, and forcefully swallowed that  hot drink. He only said, "Okay."

JinLing calmly sipped his tea and said, "Don't you think loneliness can be only put away by family?"

JiangCheng, "..."

JinLing continued, "Family can be of father, mother, sister, brother, uncle. Many people can be a person's family. A friend can also be a family. It isn't that to be someone's family, they have to related to blood. Its the bond between them, how much they care for each other, and how much can they sacrifise."

Hearing upto this, JiangCheng's face was only turning pale. He really doubted if this person sitting before him was really his nephew.

JinLing noticed his expression and coughed and said in little loud tone, "Jiujiu! Its me! A-Ling! Whats with that look on you face?!"

JiangCheng looked at him with a complicated gaze, then said, "If you're really JinLing. Then how are able to say such things?"

Ofcousre, JiangCheng knew since his childhood only him and former Sect Leader Jin, Jin GuangYao had raised him. He had never expericiend something called father and mother in family.

JinLing's eyelashed quivered and he couldn't help but think of that person. Gentle eyes, soft skin, so gentle but still so firm. Upon thinking of him, JinLing's cheeks unintentionally turned pink.

JinLing said, "I was kid back then. Now, as the responsibility has come upto me, I've realised many things. And you too are... one of them."

JiangCheng was totally taken aback. Seriously, he couldn't handel so much of this kind of things. He hurriedly gulped down the tea without caring of its temperature.

He then said, "Okay okay." Then he took out a card from his inner robe. JinLing accepted it and saw it was a golden invitation card for the food festival in Yunmeng for mid-autum festival.

Ofcourse, the food festival in Yunmeng was very famous. It had been organized during recent years and was alreafy popular, because if the food served there. Many Sects from world wide visited, including all the prominent sects.

JinLing said, "I'll be coming by myself for the festival."

JiangCheng: "Alone?"

JinLing: "So what?"

JiangCheng, "..."

After thinking JinLing thought he was a bit inappropriate. He corrected, "I'll be alone. If other people from my Sect wants to visit, they can also go by themselve."

"Oh"
