Ban Xia: Come Home, My Child

Because the little girl could only see events that would happen in the future and knew nothing of what had occurred in the past, she couldn't even understand why Gu Fadian was her brother.

However, she clearly remembered Qin Xiu saying: "Anyway, she’s not ours. If she dies, she dies."

So she said, "I think maybe I’m not Mother Qin Xiu's biological daughter. I’m Big Brother Dian Dian’s younger sister!"

Gu Fadian was stunned. Just then, a flurry of footsteps approached. "They're here, they're here!" Two underlings ran in, clutching packs of fruit milk.

Gu Fadian poked straws into an entire pack of milk and handed them over. "Drink up."

Ban Xia hesitated. If Qin Xiu ever bought fruit milk, she would only give it to Xiao Long. Her mother said such things were expensive and only meant for sons; daughters didn't deserve them.

But her brother was letting her drink a whole pack at once?

Naturally, Ban Xia listened to her brother. Moreover, she was very thirsty. She took the milk and began to drink eagerly.

The taste of milk, the sweetness, and an intense, nameless fragrance—it was sweet, refreshing, and rich. Ban Xia couldn't help but gulp it down. In the blink of an eye, the bottle was empty.

Oh no, she had drunk it too fast. Would her brother be unhappy?

After all, back at home, if she ate even a little bit more, her mother would roll her eyes and call her a fool who only knew how to eat.

But her brother wasn't angry at all. He gestured with both hands, signaling, "Drink, keep drinking."

So Ban Xia drank another bottle, gulping it down until it was finished.

Looking up, she saw three boys crouching in front of her, their lips curved into smiles like... three little crescent moons.

Her brother was the most handsome of them all. His skin was fair, and his eyes were as steady as an adult's, giving Ban Xia an inexplicable sense of security.

Seeing her stop, the crescent moon on her brother's lips vanished. "Why did you stop drinking?"

"I'm full... *hic*..." Ban Xia couldn't help but let out a small burp.

Suddenly, her brother became very serious and fierce. Ban Xia thought he was angry.

But then he spread his arms and raised an eyebrow. "See? Children are easy to raise. Isn't she full now?"

"Big Brother Fa is the best!"

"Big Brother Fa is mighty!" The two underlings flattered him incessantly.

Gu Fadian said solemnly, "She still needs clothes."

"Big Brother is absolutely right," the three sycophants immediately chimed in.

The shirt she wore must have been Qin Xiu's old one—it was far too large. The pants were likely Xiao Long's—too small. This little girl still needed a set of new clothes.

Despite being 1.72 meters tall, Gu Fadian was only fourteen years old, still a child himself.

Yet, he truly believed he could raise a child on his own.

At that moment, he was already preparing to go out and buy clothes for Ban Xia.
