Chapter 712 - Mother’s Smell

Chapter 712: Mother’s Smell

Ling Sheng secretly despised her Fifth Uncle in her heart. She was angry. Not only had he snatched her food, but she had deliberately saved the mutton balls for last. If she had known that he would come, she would have started with them.
Besides, she had gone from calling her Sister Yu to calling her Aunt Yu. Their seniority was one generation away.
Lu Yubai had initially come to see her and apologize on behalf of Huo Ci. Since Ling Sheng was here, he could not talk things out. After snatching the barbeque and eating it, he walked away. When he reached the door, he pointed at Ling Sheng and reminded her, “Watch your Aunt Yu carefully. I’ll take care of your… granduncle.”
After saying that, he felt a lingering fear and nearly fainted. I almost said your ‘father’.
Thankfully, he’d reacted quickly and changed his mind.
Nangong Lengyu could clearly sense that he was referring to another form of address but had changed it at the last minute. She frowned with a puzzled look, feeling odd.
“Thank you, Fifth Uncle.” Ling Sheng ran over to put the trash bag in his hand and smiled at him. “Help me throw it away.”
Otherwise, there would be no way to sleep in a room full of smells.
Lu Yubai left.
Ling Sheng wanted to open a folding bed so that she could sleep.
“Sheng Sheng, sleep with me!” Nangong Lengyu stopped her and smiled. “The bed is quite big. Since the two of us are so skinny, we can sleep together.”
Ling Sheng blinked her big eyes, her heart jumping with joy. She asked carefully, “Can I really?”
Nangong Lengyu looked at the usually cheerful girl. When she asked her this question, she seemed a little uncertain. She nodded. “Yes.”
Ling Sheng did not get the folding bed. She took off her coat directly and did not change. She was only wearing a pair of giraffe pajamas.
Nangong Lengyu felt even more touched as her eyes moistened. Why was the young girl so adorable? She must have run to the hospital before she could change out of her pajamas.
It was not like Ling Sheng had not slept in the same bed with a girl before. When she had been performing on “Everyone’s Magical Power Emergence”, she had slept with Sister Yu and Sister Su Yi. However, she had never felt this way before. She was a little agitated, nervous, and expectant.
Nangong Lengyu felt her body stiffen as she asked gently, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid of me?”
Ling Sheng shook her head and took a deep breath, smelling her fragrance. It was warm and fragrant. She reached out to hug her waist quietly and looked up at her softly. “Aunt… Yu, you smell like my mother.”
Her smell gave off warm feelings. It was fragrant, soft, delightful, and peaceful, as though she was lying in her mother’s embrace.
When she heard this, Nangong Lengyu’s eyes welled up instantly. Her eyes reddened as she pursed her lips. If Little Star was still alive, would she be like her?
“Auntie Yu?” Ling Sheng changed her mind quickly. Upon feeling her body tremble, she looked at her nervously. “Does it hurt again?”
Nangong Lengyu shook her head, her heart aching terribly. When she met her eyes, her voice was hoarse. “I was just wondering if Little Star would stick by my side if she was your age.”
She did not want to mention Little Star in front of her, but every time she saw her, she could not help but think about her.
If Little Star had still been alive, what would she have been like?
Would she have been obedient?
Or would she have been rebellious?
Usually, she did not dare think about this topic, but she could not help but think about it now.
“Yes.” Ling Sheng nodded firmly and looked at her seriously. “Sister Yu, you would have been the best mother in the world. Little Star would also have been the most sensible daughter.”
