Feeding three overgrown babies

"Did he permit it? "

Wang Li Jie was startled by these two sneaky bros of his who were listening to their conversation stealthily. But, he managed to put on a gloomy facade quickly, sighed and shook his head, beginning a drama.

It was actually not that Li Qing Yuan and Yu Haoran were naive or gullible. Since they started eavesdropping, this bro looked disappointed as he said "But.. father", or "Yes, father." So they thought his father had rejected and made him come back home right in this month.

They were trying to find some words to cheer up their pal when Wang Li Jie broke his act and said with smug satisfaction, "Of course, he allowed it. Have you ever heard of that there is something this Wang Li Jie can't do?"

He was laughing with self-satisfaction when his two cousins glowered at him furiously.

"Umm..., where's sis Chu Hua?" He needed to change the topics immediately, or else there was a high chance that he would get beaten by these two fuming cousins of his.

"Take a guess. Mama Yu is making money for her children." Yu Haoran answered gleefully, not realizing he was just trapped in his cousin's little trick. Making money? Now his curiosity was really aroused as he looked left and right from their table. At the moment, they were at a little restaurant of the capital.

Having a rare day off from training today, these four came out since dawn roaming around the capital, purchasing all unnecessary minor things here and there, and successfully being run out of majority of their monthly allowances, thus why right now they were stuck at this little restaurant.

Nonetheless, Yu Chu Hua who was three years older than her three cousins promised to definitely treat them a lunch at the most luxurious restaurant of the capital today, although not a single coin was left in her little pouch.

" Just look at the noisiest place in the restaurant," Li Qing Yuan uttered inclining his chin towards a certain direction.

"Ah..... Sis Yu is eating spicy food again! " Wang Li Jie exclaimed with concern staring at the table where five or more people were gathering. They looked decent and noble even in their modest and simple attires and were pretty eye-catching in such a little shabby restaurant.

By chance, Yu Chu Hua happened to see her old acquaintances passing by this little restaurant while Wang Li Jie was busy being a mischievous son. She was racking her brain to make big money in a short period so that she could feed her three big babies by the time those acquaintances came into her sight. A brilliant idea instantly popped out in her naughty brain.

She went greeting them and exchanged some pleasantries for a while, not long after triumphantly dragging them into this little restaurant saying it was her treat shamelessly. Her friends were genuinely delighted to meet her again and followed, not realizing they were bound to be poor preys to fill her little pouch today.

And, soon after, that so-called reunion party was somehow turned into a spicy-food-eating-competition by this expert, thus the current situation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can announced the results, you can see clearly who's the winner by now, right?" There came their dear mother's voice and the eyes of these three babies sparkled with hope.

"What an unlucky day! I lost half of my pocket money."

"Need to learn from my mistakes, never challenge this young lady in eating spicy dishes."

"Chu Hua, because of you I'm practically broke now."

Complainings and whines filled the little restaurant, attracting many gazes from other customers.

"Ah.. Mama Yu is the best!" Yu Haoran praised his sister already imagining himself sitting in the most luxurious restaurant and eating several luscious dishes to his heart's content.

"Mmm" Li Qing Yuan also nodded and approved unusually. His poor tummy was rumbling with hunger right now as these average dishes of the shabby place didn't meet his taste and had not even eaten one bite for lunch. He just wished they could move off quickly and run to some high-class restaurant.

"Hope she won't made us eat spicy food this time" Wang Li Jie muttered worriedly, now that he recalled about it, that hellish spicy taste from last time still felt like lingering over his tongue. Just like this time, she guaranteed them a treat and give them hope only to make them feel like crying after they knew what she ordered was a whole table of various spicy dishes.

"Little kids, missing your mommy?" Suddenly this spine-chilling tone came out from behind startling the trio. They were occupied with their own thoughts that they didn't even realize when their cousin's little reunion party was over.

"Come on, move your butts kids. It's time for lunch. Mommy got money," Yu Chu Hua waved her now bulging pouch in front of her three overgrown babies.

Li Qing Yuan who was practically preparing to dash, nudged Yu Haoran on his calves in a hurry.

"Arghh... Qing Yuan, are you scheming to break my leg?"

Li Qing Yuan who was just aware of his cousin's current situation opened his mouth to say "Sorry" only to replace it with "You deserved it" after thinking of how this half-crippled cousin of his would drag their time.

If it was before, Yu Haoran would cursed at his cousin in response, but pitying his poor legs, he could just shut his mouth and scowled.

The story behind his injured leg was like this. Two months ago, after he got wounded in his chest by the dying demon king, it took nearly one month to recover even with his high cultivation. His father, sect leader Yu, who was wishing he could murder demon king by himself for injuring his precious son, asked a question by the end of that month.Why did demon king just wounded his son among the four?

Yu Haoran slipped his tongue and uttered the truth and said that he only cursed the demon king, completely forgetting that his father had been reprimanding him recently about his vulgar language. Poor Yu Haoran was given more than hundred lashes and literally became a cripple for the next whole month.

Only by this month, he could walk again. By then, his father also said that he deserved it. Now that his cousin was repeating those words again, evoking his bad memories, Yu Haoran was feeling weepy but as a man, suppressed the urge and just snuffled a bit.

Wang Li Jie prodded Li Qing Yuan in the arm and gave a silent look to go pacify Haoran. Li Qing Yuan was also apologetic and soothingly asked, "Do you need a hand?"

Yu Haoran simply shook his head quietly and struggled to stand up.

"Have your injuries recovered?"

Yu Haoran nodded and answered softly this time.

"Pretty much."

Now that Yu Haoran was behaving this way, Li Qing Yuan felt even more guilty. He supported Haoran from beside even though the boy was refusing repeatedly to be aided.

At last, they could get out of this little restaurant and head for the most luxurious restaurant of the capital introduced by their mommy Yu Chu Hua.

The four talked about every random little things with various topics to distract themselves from their poor rumbling tummies. After a while, the restaurant came into their view, tantalising and delicious dishes were just a step away from them when someone called out "Miss Chu Hua?" and stopped them in their tracks.

Disadvantages of having too many friends!

Yu Chu Hua turned around and found that a familiar handsome man was looking at her with delighted eyes.

"So, it's really you, Miss Chu Hua."

And the three witnessed their cousin who was behaving like a mature mother earlier, now turned into a coquettish girl.

"I really can't understand this version of sis."

Li Qing Yuan murmured as his eyes could not take it anymore and turned to look at anywhere his vision was free from this cousin.

"Yeah, everytime she sees a handsome man, she would behave like this." Wang Li Jie followed suit, heaving a sigh for his poor tummy.

"Haha, yep. Not even the great demon king was spared. She was blushing like crazy in front of him by then, a weird lady."

Yu Haoran conformed again which the other two nodded and approved. And like this, their mommy Yu Chu Hua was given the title of a "weird lady" by her three big babies.

They were having quite long pleasantries. Mama Yu would occasionally glanced at her cousins and gestured them to wait one more second from time to time. Seem like this evil gentleman was a talkative one and would not let their cousin go easily. And they were right. Only after they waited like eternity, these two said goodbye to these hungry babies' delight.
