Chapter 23

Lu Zheng looked at the little head peeking out from the crack of the door. Other than that pair of clear eyes, her other facial features could not match his memories at all.

Her skin color was not as fair as he remembered, her lips were not as full and ruddy as he remembered, and even her hair was not as black and shiny as he remembered.

However, he recognized her with a single glance. It was Xin’er, whom he had been dreaming of for so many years.

Lu Zheng was glad that he had come at the right time. His Xin’er had not been sold by her hateful gambler father to pay off her gambling debts. He still had time to bring her away. His Xin’er did not have to go through so many trials and tribulations in his previous life.

“Xin…”

“Uncle, who are you looking for?”

The two of them spoke almost at the same time.

Lu Zheng’s words were stuck in his throat. He was so shocked by the word ‘uncle’ that he could not speak.

Gu Xin was thinking about the vegetable plot in her heart. She felt that the uncle in front of her was strange and wanted to close the door. “Xin? Uncle, our family name is not Xin. You are looking for the wrong person!”

After she said that, without waiting for anyone to react, she closed the door with a bang and fastened it.

Lu Zheng watched his little head disappear and the word ‘uncle’ swirled in his mind.

Was he that old?

He was not even 16 this year. He was only five years older than Gu Xin. How could he afford to be called uncle?

In the past, when Xin’er was with him, she would call him Lu Lang with admiration. He could still remember that gentle voice clearly even after he had reincarnated.

Reincarnated? He had changed from Lu Lang to an uncle?

Lu Zheng could not help but laugh. He took a step forward and raised his hand to knock on the door again. Before his hand even touched the door, he stopped again.

His hand touched the stubble on the side of his mouth. That’s right, he realized that he had really returned to his youth. He rushed here without stopping and did not have time to deal with himself.

Xin’er did not know him yet, but it did not matter. As long as Xin’er was still at the Mountain Fork Village, he would just wait by the side.

When her gambler father wanted to sell her, he would directly buy her away.

In this life, he had to protect his Xin’er no matter what.

Lu Zheng put down his hand and turned around. His depressed mood instantly brightened.

He only needed to send someone to keep an eye on the Gu family and not let his Xin’er be taken away by others.

He had already arrived here before Xin’er was sold.

He remembered that Xin’er had told him about the years when she was sold.

Fortunately, he had caught up.

For now, he would stay at his grandfather’s house in town. In any case, the Lu family would not care about him for the next few months. He could still find time to do other things. The main purpose of his return to his youth was his Xin’er.

…

Gu Xin squatted in the vegetable garden and looked at the few dishes that were growing well. For a moment, she did not know what to do!

Her mind was filled with thoughts of how the vegetables had grown well. She had completely forgotten about the strange uncle just now.

She spread her hands and the jade fish appeared. “Little Fish, Little Fish, tell me, why did the vegetables in the vegetable garden grow well overnight? It wasn’t like this yesterday.”

“Little Fish, Little Fish, tell me, is there something strange in our house that allowed the vegetables in the vegetable field to grow up overnight?”

“Little Fish, Little Fish…”

“Xin Xin, what are you doing squatting there?”

At this moment, Cai Xiaolian came out. She had initially heard the knock on the door and wanted to get up to take a look. However, the moment she came out, she saw this heartbreaking little girl talking to herself in front of the vegetable field.

Gu Xin finally found a backbone. She stood up and said, “Mother, look, the vegetables in the plot!”
