Chapter 2805: We are a family now.

Patting his shoulder, she continued,””That’s right. There are good and bad people in this world, but you have to keep a normal heart. When you meet bad people, just treat it as if you haven’t done enough merit. Continue to cultivate. When you meet good people, you must continue to pass on your kindness with a grateful heart.”
Cheng Ningyuan listened quietly. For the first time, he actually smiled at her, like a flower in full bloom in the summer.
PEI GE was a little dazed. This child, from yesterday until now, had always had a cold and icy face or a sorrowful expression. She did not expect him to smile at her like this.
“Ning Yuan, are you smiling at me?” Feeling a little overwhelmed, she widened her eyes and pointed at her chest to confirm.
Cheng Ningyuan smiled again and nodded.””Hmm, I still don’t know your name. Can I call you sister? Didn’t you just … Just say that I look like your little brother?”
His eyes were clearly a little shy as he said this, and he did not dare to meet her eyes.
This was the first time she heard someone call her ‘sister’, and this meant that she was not alone in this world.
She laughed heartily and immediately replied,””Ning Yuan, remember, my name is Pei Pei. It’s the word ‘PEI’ with the ‘Fei’ at the top and the ‘Yi’ at the bottom. From now on, you can call me sister. No matter where we are, we are a family. ”
Cheng Ningyuan was very obedient. He smiled and immediately shouted,””Sister!”
She could not help but reach out to hug him again.””Hey!”
Seeing that PEI GE had not come out for a long time, Wen Xin, who was standing outside, could not help but shout,””Sister Pei Pei, how are you doing inside? Do you need my help? Why don’t I …”
Hearing Wen Xin’s voice outside the door, PEI GE replied,””Wenxin, we’ll be out soon. Please wait a little longer!”
Then, enduring her swollen foot, she let go of Cheng Ningyuan, gently helped him up, and said,””Well, Ning Yuan, get up first. From today on, we’ll be siblings. Additionally, the ceremony was completed under the witness of the old host …”
As she spoke, she turned to look at the old host and continued devoutly,”‘I, PEI GE, swear to the old Abbot, the temple’s God, and the heavens that I’ll take good care of you in this life. Now …”
She turned around and looked at Cheng Ningyuan again,””What we need to do now is to help the old host with his funeral. After that, we will go back and discuss with Shen Feng how you are going to return to China with us.”
Cheng Ningyuan also looked at the old host’s peaceful expression and nodded at her.
With Cheng Ningyuan’s help, the two bowed deeply to the old man once more and left the room.
Wenxin immediately exclaimed and walked to the door to hold her hand.””Aiya, sister Pei Pei, you guys are finally out!”
PEI GE smiled.”Wenxin, don’t worry. We’re all fine.”
Wen Xin’s eyes involuntarily shifted to Cheng Ningyuan as she listened to PEI GE. At this time, Cheng ning had shed the strange hostility from yesterday. Under the bright sunshine of the early morning, he looked like a lively and handsome young man. The faint elegance of a temple disciple exuded from between his brows, which fascinated Wen Xin for a moment.
PEI GE shrugged her shoulders and said,””Wenxin, if you keep staring at my brother like this, I’m afraid your eyeballs are going to fall out!”
Cheng Ningyuan was indeed a little embarrassed by her staring. He lowered his head and looked at the courtyard.
Wen Xin immediately came back to her senses and explained,””Oh, I’m not … I just think …”
Suddenly, she realized why Pei GE had called this man her ‘little brother’!
She widened her eyes and pointed at the man beside her.””Sister Pei Pei, did you just call him your … Younger brother?”
She nodded with a smile.
Wen Xin was confused and murmured,””This …” She then looked at Cheng Ningyuan with wide eyes, but the latter avoided her gaze again. She then looked at PEI GE, stunned speechless.
Seeing how adorable Wenxin was, PEI GE held her hand and briefly explained what had happened in the room.
As expected, after she finished speaking, Wen Xin immediately covered her mouth with both hands and pointed to the room where the old Abbot was in. She stepped back in fear and said,””Ah … You mean … Inside …”
PEI GE knew that Wen Xin would not be able to accept this, so she quickly consoled her,””Don’t be afraid, Wenxin. Contact the villagers at the foot of the mountain and ask them to help with the old Abbot’s funeral. Remember to pay more for the hard work. As we’re in a hurry to tell Shen Feng about returning to China, we asked the villagers to send you the address of the old Abbot’s burial place. You can keep it safe and we’ll come back to burn incense for the old Abbot when we return to Japan. ”
She spoke methodically. Wen Xin suppressed her fear and nodded, but her legs were still as heavy as lead.
PEI GE patted Wen Xin’s shoulder and said,””Don’t be afraid. The old host is a good person. You’ve met her once. He will continue to protect you in heaven!”
Wen Xin nodded heavily at her words. That’s right. Birth, aging, illness, and death are all normal things in life, not to mention an old host who has already fulfilled his merits.
“Wenxin, you can do it!” After giving herself a psychological hint, she immediately regained her composure and jogged into the room. She immediately picked up her phone and made a call.
Cheng Ningyuan looked at Wen Xin’s busy figure and asked,””Sister, do I need to do anything?”
She held his hand and said,””I don’t need you to do anything for me. Do you want to say goodbye to the old host and then pack your luggage? We’ll wait for the chauffeur to arrive and then head back to the county. My husband, who is also … Your brother-in-law, Shen Feng, should be back from overseas soon. I’ll ask him to help us prepare for our return. ”
Cheng Ningyuan nodded and looked up at the sky in the yard with a frown. The sun was already a little glaring.
After putting down his luggage and getting ready to get into the car, Cheng Ningyuan suddenly stopped and quickly ran out of the car, running to the old host’s courtyard.
Wen Xin thought that Cheng Ningyuan did not want to leave again and almost chased after him to ask, but PEI GE, who knew him too well, held her back and said,””It’s fine, Wenxin. Let him go. We’ll wait in the car.”
Wen Xin nodded her head doubtfully. After a while, Cheng Ningyuan walked out of the house again and got into the car as if nothing had happened.
