Chapter 39 Qinglin

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu, along with their father and three elders, sent off the guests who came to watch the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony. Before leaving, Ya Fei secretly flirted with Xiao Yan, which made Xiao Yan blush and his heart beat again.

Sister Ya Fei, what a fairy

Xiao Yan shook his head lightly to calm his mind. At this moment, a familiar, carefree voice came into his ears.

"Xiao Yanzi! Second sister misses you so much!"

As the voice came, Xiao Yan was hugged tightly by a strong arm, and a hand kept rubbing his hair, and Xiao Yan also showed a happy smile on his face.

"Second sister, long time no see~"

"Ah~I haven't seen you for a year, you have grown a lot~" The voice said so, turning Xiao Yan around and looking at him directly opposite, "You look much more handsome~I will definitely find a beautiful wife in the future!"

Xiao Yan looked at the bold woman with a grin in front of him, and a little tenderness slowly appeared in his eyes

Xiao Li, Xiao Yan's second sister, is a handsome short-haired woman who is carefree and bold, and has a personality that is more like a man than a woman.

"Sister Xiao Li, long time no see."

Xiao Yu, who was standing by, also greeted Xiao Li softly, and Xiao Li responded with a smile.

"Oh~ Xiao Yu'er, I haven't seen you for a year, and you are more beautiful~" Then Xiao Li pulled Xiao Yan to face Xiao Yu with a smile, "How is it? How about my little Yanzi? Are you interested in being his wife?"

"Uh"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu both showed embarrassment on their faces, and Xiao Yu blushed and waved her hands repeatedly.

"Sister Xiao Li, don't make fun of me."

"Haha~ It's just a joke, don't take it seriously~"

Xiao Li laughed boldly, but didn't notice that Xiao Yu's eyes, which had just revealed a little joy, were covered with a layer of deep loneliness.

At this time, Xiao Yan looked behind Xiao Li, and another long-haired woman who looked a little similar to Xiao Li, but with a more elegant and gentle gesture, slowly walked over.

Xiao Yan's eldest sister, Xiao Jing.

"Sister."

Xiao Yan called softly, and Xiao Jing looked at her beloved brother in front of her, and her eyes also exuded a tenderness that was almost like motherly love.

"Long time no see, Yan'er."

Since Xiao Yan's mother passed away, Xiao Jing and Xiao Li, the two sisters, really treated Xiao Yan as a rare treasure, and did not let Xiao Yan suffer any grievances, and wanted to do their best to make up for the lack of maternal love in Xiao Yan.

And in fact, the two did it.

During the period when Xiao Yan's mother passed away, it was because of the two's constant care and care that Xiao Yan was able to get out of the pain of losing his mother in a short time.

The two are undoubtedly extremely important family members to Xiao Yan.

Then Xiao Jing looked at Xiao Zhan and smiled softly.

"Father, how are you doing lately?"

"Hahaha~ Very good, I feel better after you come back~"

Xiao Zhan laughed, looking at the two daughters he hadn't seen for a year, the warmth that belongs to family surged in his heart.

"You must be tired after coming back from a long distance. I have asked someone to clean the room. Go back and rest first, and prepare for the New Year tomorrow!"

"Yeah."

Xiao Yu nodded lightly. Xiao Zhan was right. He really rushed back day and night these days, fearing that he would miss the New Year, which is extremely important to the Xiao family.

At this time, Xiao Yan leaned slightly and looked behind Xiao Yu with a puzzled look.

"Sister, who is that behind?"

"Ah, I'm so happy to go home, I forgot to introduce it."

Xiao Yu reacted and gently pushed the petite thing behind him to the side, so that Xiao Yan could see the other person's appearance clearly.

It was a little girl who looked quite timid, with long green hair, green pupils, and a delicate oval face, with a hint of immaturity on her face.

Although she was just a little girl, her figure was quite plump.

Although it was not obvious from her appearance, for some reason, Xiao Yan always felt like he was facing a [snake] when looking at her.

"This child is called Qinglin, and she is a child adopted by our mercenary group." Xiao Yu introduced her to everyone, and looked at Qinglin with a little pity, "This child's life experience is a bit complicated. I really don't feel comfortable leaving her alone in the mercenary group, so I brought her back together." "Is that so."

Xiao Yan nodded in understanding, came to Qinglin and slowly squatted down, smiled and stretched out his hand to her, and whispered in a very gentle and kind tone.

"Hello~ Qinglin, my name is Xiao Yan, I am Xiao Jing and Xiao Li's younger brother, please teach me~"

Looking at Xiao Yan squatting in front of him and introducing himself in a gentle voice, Qinglin was slightly stunned. After a long time, he timidly stretched out his hand and gently shook it with Xiao Yan.

"Hello"

"Well~ Let's get along well these days~"

Xiao Yan gently held Qinglin's small hand and shook it up and down slightly.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan caught a glimpse of something and his eyes suddenly stagnated.

And Qinglin also reacted instantly, and immediately took his little hand back from Xiao Yan's hand, turned around and hid behind Xiao Jing. After a while, he slowly showed his little head, with a few tears in his eyes, and apologized in a mosquito-like voice.

"I'm sorry. Qinglin didn't mean to scare you on purpose"

Qinglin kept apologizing to Xiao Yan, and he looked like he was about to cry in the next second.

Xiao Yu didn't know what happened just now. After seeing Qing Lin's expression, he felt distressed. He pressed Xiao Yan's shoulder, who was still squatting on the ground, and said unhappily.

"Xiao Yan, what did you do just now?"

"Ah, how should I put it?" Xiao Yan scratched his hair awkwardly, looking at Qing Lin with tears in his eyes, "It seems that I am dazzled"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Xiao Yan was saying at all.

At this moment, Xiao Jin spoke.

"No, Yan'er, you are not dazzled."

"Huh?"

Xiao Yan frowned and looked up at his elder sister in confusion.

And Xiao Jin looked down at Qing Lin and said.

"Qing Lin, show everyone."

"Huh?!"

Hearing Xiao Jin's words, Qing Lin was suddenly startled and looked up at Xiao Jin with tears in his eyes.

"Captain Xiao Jin."

Qing Lin murmured, as if praying for something.

Xiao Jing smiled slightly, and gently stroked Qinglin's head.

"Don't worry, no one will hate you."

"."

Hearing what Xiao Jing said, Qinglin was silent for a long time, and finally bit his lips lightly, and as if he had made up his mind, he stretched one arm forward, and with the other hand lifted the cuffs that tightly wrapped his arm.

Then Xiao Yan and others saw that the skin on Qinglin's wrist was completely different from that of humans, and more like snake scales.

What is this? !

Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu were both surprised, and so was Xiao Zhan.

"You also know, right? The current location of our mercenary group intersects with the territory of the snake people."

Xiao Jing gently stroked Qinglin's head and slowly told Qinglin's life experience.

"This child is the offspring of humans and snake people."
