Chapter 2373: Chapter 2377: Lofty Ambitions and the Great Qin Empire
"Little Brother!" he waved enthusiastically at Qin Junye. "Come and have some soup! The mushroom soup my mom made is really delicious!"
The bodyguard walked up to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, saluting them, "Young Master, Young Madam."
He stepped aside.
Qin Junye curiously sized up Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, "Young Master? Young Madam? Are you filming a TV drama?"
Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but laugh.
When she first heard these titles, she also found them surprising. But in the century-old noble families, these terms were passed down through generations, forming a customary tradition. It’s how they address each other in high society. After getting used to it, she felt it was just a form of address, nothing special regardless of what they called each other.
"We’re not filming a TV drama!" Xiao Shumiao explained, "We’re not actors, we’re a family here on vacation. My mom used to live here too. Mom says this is her hometown, she missed it, so we came back to visit with her."
Qin Junye looked at him, "Little Brother, how old are you? How did you get so pretty? Prettier than the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen."
He pointed at Xiao Shumiao’s eyes, "How are your eyes so dark and bright? Like gemstones! Do you eat a lot of pig liver?"
"I don’t eat a lot of pig liver," Xiao Shumiao wondered, "Do you like eating pig liver, Little Brother?"
"I don’t like it, but my grandpa often makes me eat it," Qin Junye said, "Grandpa says eating more pig liver is good for the eyes."
Xiao Shumiao said, "My mom says eating more carrots is good for the eyes, but I don’t like eating carrots."
"I don’t like carrots either," Qin Junye said, "Only rabbits love carrots."
Ye Xingbei: "..."
Listening to this kid talk, he’s just an ordinary child!
This kid, killing a wild boar?
"Right, right, only rabbits love carrots!" Xiao Shumiao nodded excitedly, feeling like he found a kindred spirit, "Little Brother, my favorite dish is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, what’s your favorite food?"
"I love everything except carrots," Qin Junye said, "Little Brother, can you stop calling me Little Brother?"
Xiao Shumiao asked, "Why?"
Qin Junye said, "You should call me Big Brother, I’m already grown up."
Ye Xingbei: "..."
Another kid who thinks he’s grown up!
"Are you as old as Brother Xiaoyue?" Xiao Shumiao held Lingyue’s hand, "Brother Xiaoyue is eight years old this year, how about you?"
Qin Junye hesitated for a moment, then answered honestly, "I’m eight too."
Xiao Shumiao asked, "When is your birthday?"
Qin Junye pressed his lips together, "I don’t know... but when Grandpa found me, it was the last month of the lunar year, so he says my birthday is in the last lunar month."
"A birthday in the last month is pretty late," Xiao Shumiao said, "Little Brother, you’re younger than Brother Xiaoyue! Brother Xiaoyue is the Big Brother; you’re the Little Brother!"
Qin Junye looked at Lingyue, "You call him Brother Xiaoyue?"
"Yes," Xiao Shumiao said, "His name is Lingyue, Ling as in Lingyun’s ambition, Yue as in surpassing, Little Brother, you can also call him Brother Xiaoyue!"
"Then you call me Brother Xiaoye," Qin Junye said, "My name is Qin Junye, Qin as in Great Qin Dynasty, Jun as in gentleman, Ye as in night. Because my grandpa found me at night, he hopes I’ll grow up to be an upright man, so he named me Junye."
