Chapter Ch51 - 100 000 whys (Part 1)

Lin Mumu bit onto the potato chips, and the mood inside the car was inexplicably relaxed. As the curious baby that she is, Lin Mumu pulled Yun Ting and started the 100 000 whys mode.

LMM “Yun Ting, where is this?”

YT “Hainan Island.”

LMM “Yun Ting, where are we going?”

YT “Beijing.”

LMM “Where is Beijing?”

YT “Beijing is the capital of China.”

LMM “How big is Beijing? How long until we get there?”

“Yun Ting, how old are you?”

“Yun Ting, when is your birthday?”

“Yun Ting, what’s your favorite color?”

“Yun Ting, how did you meet my master?”

“Yun Ting, which army unit are you from? What rank are you? ”

“Yun Ting, was your training very hard? Did you ever cry? ”

” Yun Ting, …… ”

When Yun Ting faces such an unrestricted Lin Mumu, the first thing to do in order to confront her is being patient and answering all her questions.

Lin Mumu was naturally lively and spontaneous, being curious and having many questions was very normal.

However, Yun Ting, who has always been at the army in the capital, was a man of few words. Where was he ever heard someone spouting this much nonsense? Where was he ever confronted to such a scene?

Yun Ting’s thoughts floated to 5 years ago. At that time, this little girl wasn’t that tall, her body and limbs were still pretty short, but she was just as lively and talkative, spouting out streams of questions from her little mouth. When he was asked until he got annoyed, she would give him a silver bell-like laugh, cutely mocking him as a Lu Renjia who didn’t understand anything.

At that time, she called him Lu Renjia, and he called her Xiao Mutou (little blockhead).

(TL note: I think you guys understand by now how the misunderstanding works. When she asked for his name, he answered “Luren Jia” meaning passerby/stranger. But from then on, she kept calling him “Lu Renjia” as if it was a name. I didn’t put it in the previous chapter, but when he calls her little blockhead/slow-witted, in the raws, it’s actually “Xiao Mutou” a play of words on her name “Lin Mumu” or “Xiao Mu”. They were basically calling each other by nicknames.)

Although Lin Mumu’s questions were eccentric, Yun Ting patiently answered them one by one, without getting impatient.

Lin Mumu kept asking questions and getting answers until she got tired and finally fell asleep while still holding the bag of potato chip.

A tiny dimple hung on the face of the fallen asleep Lin Mumu, and while bending her head to the side for a more comfortable position, she unconsciously leaned against Yun Ting’s shoulder.
