Chapter 46 - Old Uncle or Eldest Uncle?

It was evening already, and the sunset outside the window was radiant as ever. Clouds layered on top of each other, rolling out in a gorgeous shade of reddish orange. The afterglow from the setting sun reflected on Shi Sui's face through the speckled shadows of the window, dotting it in layers of light.

It revealed an unexpected tenderness.

Xiang Yi inexplicably remembered the first time she saw Shi Sui.

On the banquet of her sixteenth birthday, he had entered from outside alongside Xiang Feng. His suit jacket was slung across his arms, and at his arrival, the noisy family living room had gone silent for an instant. The crowd seemed bewitched as they unconsciously followed his movements with their eyes.

At that time, it was the youngest and most frivolous point of his life. At the age of twenty-three, he had won the titles of film emperor and TV emperor at the same time. One look from him was enough to stun all living beings.

The reason he had become her white moonlight was a shallow one as well.

When she was walking upstairs in her dress, Shi Sui had promptly put his suit jacket on her without a sound.

Xiang Yi still remembered the only phrase she had said to him:

"Thank you, big brother."

Before Shi Sui had any time to react, he was interrupted by Xiang Feng. "Little Xiang Yi, you've messed up your formalities! You should call him uncle!"

The memory came to an abrupt halt.

Xiang Yi's cherry lips trembled, but she couldn't spit out the two simple syllables anymore.

She was no longer the naive little girl from back then, and her feelings for Shi Sui weren't like those belonging to men and women.

She coughed. "Senior Shi, perhaps… you've heard of aunty fans?"

Shi Sui raised his eyebrows, suddenly feeling something bad was about to come.

"To be honest, I see you as…" Xiang Yi couldn't utter the words 'baby' and switched to another euphemism. She lifted her wittle tiger and said, "Like a kitty."

The little white cat, whose meal had been interrupted, had a cute but fierce expression.

'I've already said Tong Tong is not a cat meow!'

Shi Sui chuckled lightly, leaning over to rub the head on the little cat. "Kitty? Sounds pretty cute to me."

Right at this moment, Xiang Feng had carelessly barged in and whimpered, "Little Xiang Yi, is there any food? I'm so hungry… Heh? Shi Sui, why are you still here?"

Shi Sui: "I want to see the cat."

"What's there to see? It's just a cat… So ugly too…" Xiang Feng muttered to himself.

Xiang Yi covered Tong Tong's soft cat ears and spoke seriously, "Can't hear you, can't hear you, our wittle tiger can't hear anything!"

"You gave him a name?"

"Mhmm. I want to raise it." Xiang Yi suddenly remembered something and turned her gaze toward Shi Sui. "Senior, I'm going to raise him, okay?"

Xiang Feng: "Aiyah, why call him senior? Call him uncle! He's the same generation as me!"

For the first time in his life, Shi Sui had the intense d.e.s.i.r.e to make someone shut up.

Xiang Feng: "Wait no, he's older than me. You should call him bobo, or maybe even eldest uncle?"

Shi Sui: "..."

A certain film emperor was expressionless as he violently crossed off Xiang Feng's name on the notebook in his heart.
