Kisses Make Me Grow Taller

Chapter 107.2 Little Secret (2)

“?!!!” Mu Chongyan and the others were completely shocked.

“Dad rescued him?!!!”

“That’s right. During the war, a lot of people had died. At that time, Mu Fenglan was only a colonel and he had fallen into the enemy’s traps. He had nearly taken his last breath but Qingshu….went behind my back and rescued him.” Luo Ersi looked at Xia Qingshu, holding a bit of complaint in his eyes, “At that time, your dad had to take half a month of rest to heal his injuries while Mu Fenglan only took 10 days. His injuries were even lighter than your dad’s so you can see how much Qingshu had protected him at that time.”

“The reason why I rescued him was because he was my subordinate.” Xia Qingshu felt a little helpless, feeling like Luo Ersi was hinting at something.

“Th-Then what about He Erya?!” Dross couldn’t help but raise his voice.

“As for He Erya…at that time, she actually also joined the campaign but her main duty was taking care of the soldiers in the rear.” Thinking about the events related to He Erya, Luo Ersi couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed, “But, one time, she followed the team to the front line for treatment and the trap Mu Fenglan fell in was close by. After Qingshu rescued Mu Fenglan out, he handed him directly to He Erya.”

“So Mu Fenglan thought He Erya saved him?!”

“It’s not that simple…” Xia Qingshu sighed and shook his head, “Once Mu Fenglan woke up, He Erya had been taking care of him and their feelings for each other deepened. Then, one day, He Erya suddenly came to find me and said that she liked Mu Fenglan too much, so in order to let Mu Fenglan like her a little more, she told him out of impulse that she was the one who rescued me and begged me not to tell the truth.”

Bai Rong frowned. Thinking in Mu Chongyan’s perspective, it did seem to be quite ‘reasonable’. Moreover, at that time, Mu Fenglan already fancied He Erya. Under such circumstances, even if something did seem out of place, such as why the enemy force would suddenly retract half of their force, it would probably disrupt his confirmation bias, so instead, he chose to think that an unpredictable outcome of the battlefield, had led to this opportunity of love between them…

Needless to say, they were speechless….

Bai Rong suddenly felt that Mu Fenglan was like the lead in those idol dramas. Upon encountering the female lead, they would lose their rationality and morals.

Yes. That’s right. Bai Rong had already grown up and realized that his idol dramas were too childish. As a mature tough man, he couldn’t watch those things any longer.

However, seeing Mu Fenglan’s appearance, looking quite ‘touched by his own actions’, this arrogant man with no morals in front of love, was truly amusing yet also pitiful….

“…..” Mu Chongyan, Dross and Margot turned silent. This matter was indeed out of their expectations.

“So…” In the end, Mu Chongyan spoke up, “Are you going to let Mu Fenglan know of this matter?”

When the other people heard this, they all furrowed their brows.

Bai Rong looked up at Mu Chongyan and also felt a bit tangled.

“For now, let’s leave it like this.” Xia Qingshu shook his head, exhaustion visible on his face. How could he have known that the person he rescued would now become a big obstacle today.

However, he was also to blame.

It was not because he was narcissistic but because he certainly couldn’t afford to provoke the trouble that was Mu Fenglan.

“Then let’s not talk about it. In any case, he’s going to be imprisoned for a year.” Luo Ersi hugged Xia Qingshu and eased the furrow in between his brows, “If you’re tired, go and rest for a while, alright?”

“!” Xia Qingshu hurriedly pulled Luo Ersi’s arms off him, embarrassment flashing across his face. He looked at his kids and seeing that they didn’t have any weird expressions, he silently let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s alright. I’m not tired.”

“How could you not be tired?” Luo Ersi held Xia Qingshu’s hand, “Didn’t you float in space for a month?”

“That’s nothing. I used to drive mechs and continuously battle for three months.”

“But…” Suddenly remembering that his wife not only recovered his aptitude but had broken through SSS, Luo Ersi who had only just reached SS level after taking the vod drug suddenly couldn’t say anything.

He had to ask the aviation department to study the flying airship that broke out of the barren planet and then head there to hone his aptitude!!

“Alright. Dearie and I are going to deal with the people in the airship. Don’t follow us.” Xia Qingshu smiled. “Can you let those people follow us back to the city center of planet Sheng Ya, please?”

“Of course.” Luo Ersi decisively nodded. He wanted to get people to research the technology used in the airship and create more high speed airships.

“Alright. Then we’ll be going over first. We’ll return in a while.” Xia Qingshu waved his hand and departed together with Mu Chongyan and Bai Rong, walking towards their aircraft.

Brother!” Seeing Bai Rong come back, Kuku quickly rushed towards him with an anxious look, “Brother, are you fine?!”

He heard that mother-in-laws generally would make a lot of small moves in order to establish their authority as well as test the character of the daughter. His brother was so silly and sweet, he would probably turn soft at the first pinch!

“I’m fine.” Bai Rong rubbed Kuku’s head with a smile, “What did you think was going to happen?”

“….” Kuku silently looked at Xia Qingshu who was smiling at him and his face turned red, feeling embarrassment creep up, “It’s nothing. It’s nothing…”

Uncle Xia was such a good person, he wouldn’t let anyone bully his brother right…

“Is Kuku worried that we’ll bully Rongrong?” Xia Qingshu deliberately teased Kuku.

“Nono!” Kuku quickly shook his head and exclaimed.

“Don’t worry. We won’t bully your brother. Rongrong is such a good boy we only want to dote on him.” Xia Qingshu looked at Kuku and said, “Why don’t Kuku come together with us, alright?”

“Ahh….” Kuku blinked, his cheeks turning red, “This doesn’t seem to be too appropriate…”

Following brother to his marital home felt a bit weird….

“There’s nothing that isn’t appropriate. We’re family.” Xia Qingshu turned to Bai Rong, “Doesn’t Rongrong think so too?”

“Yeah.” Bai Rong thought for a moment and nodded. How could he leave his younger brother alone here like a little white cabbage without a brother to dote on him?

“What’s up?” Mu Chongyan walked towards the group of people, having just finished settling his matters.

“It’s nothing. I was just telling Kuku to go over with us.” Xia Qingshu chuckled, “Has dearie finished preparations?”

“Yup. Let’s head back.”

The group of people walked out the airship and coincidentally met Er Luosi, Dross and Margot who were walking towards them.

Xia Qingshu, “Why did you come over?”

“….” Er Luosi decisively threw Dross and Margot under the bus, “Biggest dearie and second dearie wanted to come over and there was nothing I could do. The kids want to stick to you…”

Pft…Biggest dearie and second dearie?

Kuku burst into a chuckle on the inside but quickly pursed his lips on the surface, struggling to hold the smile back.

Ahahahaha, were the nicknames of Mu Chongyan’s family members all this amusing?

Keenly sensing Kuku’s reactions, Mu Chongyan shot daggers at him before turning his head. He discovered that his eldest sister and second brother were completely at ease, not feeling the slightest bit awkward at all.

Mu Chongyan: “…..”

Was it only him who thought this nickname didn’t sound right?

As if seeing through My Choingyan’s thoughts, Margot silently slowed down her footsteps and walked towards the spot beside Mu Chongyan.

Pressing down her voice, she said, “Third brother, big sister will let you in on a secret regarding how dad made our nicknames.”

“?!!” Mu Chongyan, Bai Rong and Kuku’s ears perked up.

A hint of unease flashed across Xia Qingshu’s eyes and he quickened his footsteps.

Luo Ersi smilingly chased after him.

“What secret?” Mu Chongyan also pressed down his voice.

“It’s that….” Margot chuckled mysteriously, “In the beginning, dad and father used straw-drawing to decide their names and nicknames.”

“Straw-drawing?”

“That’s right.” Margot nodded, a twinkle visible in her eyes, “Dad drew the nicknames thrice, what else do we have to be dissatisfied about?”
