Chapter 966: SAYING HELLO TO GRANDPALUO YAN felt the corner of his lips twitched when he heard what Bai Ye said. The expression on the kid's face was so shocked and so serious that one would think that what he's saying was the truth.          

But it's cute. So, Luo Yan decided to play along.     

"Yes, I'm from the future. I switched places with the current Yan Yan. The present me is currently living in the future," he explained in a serious tone. Then he added with a pitiful expression. "I'm sorry that you can no longer meet him."     

Bai Ye's face crumpled in devastation. Then his big eyes started to water as if he would cry at any second. "How could that be?"      

Luo Yan scratched his cheek. Did he go too far?     

A loud laugh suddenly echoed in the living room.     

"Xiao Ye, how can you believe that?"      

Luo Yan looked ahead and saw Bai Ze walking towards them. The other's hair was like a bird's nest, showing that he just woke up. He stood beside Bai Ye and ruffled the other's hair.     

"Stupid Xiao Ye."     

Bai Ye's tears that seemed to fall at any second disappeared like a burst bubble. He glared at his older brother and then turned to their mother.      

"Mom, look, Brother is calling me a bad name!"     

Sun Xiulan was already planning to scold her eldest son before her youngest thought to complain. So, she quickly said with narrowed eyes;     

"Ah Ze, no bad words, remember?"     

Bai Ze pouted but didn't say anything more.      

"Mom, you should ground Brother," Bai Ye said in a very righteous tone.      

Bai Ze looked down at his younger brother and ruffled the other's hair more violently. "Hey, you brat. Don't push your luck too much."     

"This is child abuse. I will sue you, Brother!"     

Bai Ze only looked at his brother as if the other had a problem in his brain. He sighed and turn to their mother. "Mom, shouldn't we not give Xiao Ye access to the internet? Look at what it's doing to his poor brain."     

"You're calling me stupid again!"     

"Hey, you're the one who said that, not me," Bai Ze responded, raising both hands as if in surrender. "And also, you're the one who believed Xiao Yan's nonsense just now. So..."     

"W-what nonsense? Are you saying that Yan Yan is a liar?"     

"He's not. He's just teasing you and you believe it, hook, line, and sinker," Bai Ze said with a smirk.     

Bai Ye blinked his eyes and then looked back and forth between his brother and Yan Yan. When he saw the slightly guilty look on the latter's face, his eyes trembled and he shouted;     

"Brother and Yan Yan are both- both... poopyheads!"     

Then he ran up the stairs. The only thing missing was a river of tears and it would look like some scene in a cartoon.     

"Poofyheads... pfft! Did you hear that kid Xiao Yan--"         

  Bai Ze stopped whatever he was about to say because of the disapproving gaze his mother gave him.      

"I'm really considering grounding you, Ah Ze."     

Bai Ze only looked away guiltily.     

"I'm sorry, Aunt Xiulan. I'm also at fault. Should I go and comfort Xiao Ye?" Luo Yan said, taking his aunt's attention away from Bai Ze.     

His aunt turned to him, and her disapproving expression quickly changed back to her usual gentle look. It reminded him of that red head mom from Harry Potter who would always scold the red head friend of Harry but would always be gentle with the latter.      

"No, I'll take care of it. You and Xiao Jin should go to the back garden. Your grandpa is waiting for you there." She turned to Bai Ze and said sternly, "And you, we're not finished yet."     

Then she went upstairs to follow Bai Ye.     

Bai Ze groaned. "How come I'm the only one scolded when Xiao Yan was also at fault?"     

Luo Yan gave a sideway glance to his older cousin. "Because I'm only teasing while Brother Ze was the one who made Xiao Ye cry."     

"Yes, yes, it was all my fault," Bai Ze said with a pout.     

"Is this skit already over?" Luo Jin asked in a dry tone. "If it is, then Yan and I should go and greet Grandpa."     

Before Bai Ze could react to Luo Jin's comment, the other had already pulled Luo Yan towards the direction of the back garden.      

He looked at the back of the two and almost shouted, 'am I the most unloved member of this family?'.     

-----     

The two brothers arrived at the back garden and immediately saw their grandfather sitting in a wheelchair while looking at the flowers in the garden. His personal caregiver was standing behind him with an umbrella hanging on his arms. Probably so he would be ready just in case it snowed.     

Luo Yan ran ahead. He greeted the nurse first before giving his grandfather a tight hug and a quick peck on the forehead.     

"Hello, Grandpa," he said with a smile.     

Bai Zhen turned to him with a blank look. But soon, his foggy eyes were slowly filled with brilliance. Until Luo Yan could perfectly see his image in those eyes.     

His grandfather smiled and reached out for his hand. Luo Yan quickly accepted it.     

"Hua-er, you're finally here."     

Luo Yan smiled sadly. He somehow had already expected that his grandfather would mistake him again for his deceased mother. But he also thought that it wouldn't be the case now, since he had grown a lot the last time they had seen each other.      

Despite his face still being pretty, it was now leaning more towards masculine instead of feminine. But his resemblance to his mother probably outweighed all that in his grandfather's mind.     

"Yes, Grandpa, I'm here," Luo Yan said, not bothering to correct the other. "Ah Jin is also here."     

Luo Jin greeted their grandfather, but the other only returned a blank stare. Luo Jin was already used to this kind of reaction by now. It still stung quite a bit. But he understood that it's just how it was. Feeling bad about it wouldn't help anyone, much less their grandfather.
