Chapter 890: Hold Back Your Tears!
"But I... but I..." Big Guy hesitated to speak, not knowing what to say next.
Master Fong reached out, patted Big Guy, who was as tall as he was, and turned to ask Xiao Wen, "Do you know his name?"
Xiao Wen was taken aback, surprised that Master Fong suddenly asked her such a question. Was he trusting what she just said?
This man was quite interesting.
Xiao Wen quickly smiled and said, "His name is Ling Nan, with the character for sharp, and the character for golden nan wood..."
Oh, so his name is Ling Nan.
Master Fong turned his gaze to Ling Nan's face, and his cold, stern features gradually softened as he gently said, "You have a name. Did you hear that? Your surname is Ling, and your name is Ling Nan. You are not to be called Big Guy anymore, that's a name I gave you temporarily. From now on, you are Ling Nan."
"Ling Nan, is that my name?" Ling Nan repeated.
"Yes." Master Fong nodded, "Let me ask you, do you dislike these two?"
"I don't dislike them." Ling Nan answered quickly, without a hint of hesitation.
Gu Qiaoqiao's smile deepened.
"Then how do you feel about these two? Tell the Master."
"How do I feel?" Ling Nan smiled earnestly, thought for a moment, and honestly replied, "It feels a bit like they're my sisters."
"Hm, that's right, because you're relatives, connected by blood. Of course, you'd feel that way. Go with them. They've been looking for you so diligently."
"But... Master... I can't bear to part from you..."
Saying this, Ling Nan's tears began to fall.
It seemed he truly couldn't bear to part from Master Fong.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao felt like she was breaking up a family like some kind of bully...
Master Fong punched Ling Nan lightly in the chest, laughing as he said, "Silly boy, when those thugs beat you up, I didn't see a single tear. Why let them fall now? Hold them back for me!"
"Yes, Master!" Ling Nan immediately straightened his back and wiped the tears from his face.
Master Fong continued, "Where you're staying isn't far from here. If you miss me, you can come anytime."
Xiao Wen quickly chimed in, "Yes, Xiao Nan, if you miss Master, you can come to Lijing Ho to see him, and Master can also visit you at Gu Garden. Even if you were worlds apart, it's just a step away..."
"Really, Master?" Ling Nan asked, somewhat incredulously.
Master Fong nodded, "Yes, it's true."
Ling Nan turned and looked at the two people.
Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen smiled gently at him.
Ling Nan's brow gradually relaxed, realizing that he had family, and two such beautiful sisters at that. It felt wonderful.
His emotions shifted so quickly, truly a naive and inexperienced child, likely due to spending so much time in the deep mountains, rarely encountering worldly people.
Master Fong had many tasks to attend to and didn't want to delay talking to Ling Nan for too long. Although they had developed a bond over more than a month, he was happy Ling Nan found his family.
Having a family is different from not having one.
He knew that.
"Ling Nan, I'll pack your belongings tonight. You can come pick them up when you have time."
"Okay, Master, I'll remember." Ling Nan said in a low voice.
His expression improved a lot because picking up his belongings meant he could see Master again.
Although there weren't many belongings, they were all bought by Master Fong.
