Eyes Watching from the Shadows

"Uncle Gao! Uncle Gao! Sister is calling you."

Gao Huabin wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up, a bit dazed as he looked at the little girl in front of him. He was only twenty-four, and Su Yijia was twenty, so why was he an "uncle" while she was a "sister"? Did that mean Su Yijia and Qin Kaize were considered a different generation too?

"Yaya, you should call me Brother Gao, okay?" Gao Huabin bent down, trying to coax her.

"No! You're Uncle Gao." Yaya held tightly to the Big White Rabbit candy in her hand, firmly insisting. Sister had said he was Uncle Gao, so he would always be Uncle Gao.

Gao Huabin wanted to say more, but his rugged face paired with his awkward attempts at coaxing made him look like a big bad wolf trying to deceive Little Red Riding Hood. Seeing him get closer, Yaya's face showed a hint of fear. She immediately turned and ran to her little friends.
