Chapter 328 - 326

Alright, when it came down to it, the whole family had a hand in this.

Yun Jiao was small, but her appetite wasn’t, and she ate a lot.

None of them had fed her that much, but then again, every single one of them had fed her.

"Are you silly!"

Shen Yunlian poked Yun Jiao on the forehead, exasperated.

"You eat whatever anyone gives you, and now you’re too full for dinner."

Yun Linhe chuckled. "Oh, dear. Someone’s not going to grow very tall. You can’t get bigger if you don’t eat your meals, you know."

Yun Jiao’s little face fell. "This is all your fault."

Her indignant little expression was so self-righteous it made everyone laugh in exasperation.

"Just look at you."

Wang Mei rolled her eyes, annoyed.

Yun Jiao really was too full to eat another bite, so she could only watch everyone else with puppy-dog eyes.

She looked just like a pathetic little puppy.

After dinner, just as Yun Xiaowu and the others were about to take Yun Jiao out for a walk to help her digest, guests arrived.

It was Uncle Wang Jianlin, his son Wang Yi, and Gu Chen, a boy with dyed-blue hair who was swaggering around with a guitar on his back.

Gu Chen was dressed in a studded leather jacket and pants, a pair of oversized sunglasses perched on his face. Even his walk was an arrogant swagger, as if he was too cool to acknowledge anyone he knew.

To the older generation, his getup was a complete eyesore, making him the very picture of a rebellious teenager.

But in the eyes of the local kids, he looked incredibly cool.

And sure enough, by teasing cats and dogs all the way there, he had attracted a small crowd of kids who followed him.

"Hey, little Yun Jiao! Big bro is here to see you. Aren’t you surprised?"

Gu Chen spread his arms, about to give Yun Jiao a hug.

Yun Xiaowu quickly ran over, shielding Yun Jiao behind him.

"What do you think you’re doing? You’re not her brother. Let me tell you, our Jiaojiao only has us for brothers."

Gu Chen said, "Hey, your eighth brother is my grandpa’s apprentice. With a connection like that, it’s not wrong for me to call her little sister, right?"

"Since we’re basically related, what’s the big deal if I give her a hug?"

Yun Xiaowu said, "Your outfit might be cool..."

Before Gu Chen could get happy, he heard Yun Xiaowu continue, "...but you don’t look like a good person. You look like a kidnapper trying to snatch my sister."

Yun Jiao’s other brothers nodded in agreement.

"BWAHAHAHA..."

The boisterous laughter came from Wang Yi.

"That’s what you get for being such a show-off."

The look on Gu Chen’s face was a sight to behold.

"What are you talking about? Have you ever seen a kidnapper as handsome as me? Besides, this is called fashion. It’s trendy. Don’t you get it, you little hick?"

Yun Jiao found their bickering a bit boring.

"Fifth Brother, I’m going to the beach."

Yun Xiaowu said, "Wait, I’ll go with you."

Naturally, Wang Yi and Gu Chen weren’t going to miss this opportunity, and they hurried to follow.

Wang Jianlin had also come because he’d heard about the recent events in their village. This was good news for him; the better Bailong Village did, the better it was for his work performance.

He just hadn’t expected Yun Jiao to be the source of it all.

Wang Yi had found out his dad was visiting Yun Jiao’s family and had pestered him to come along.

The group arrived at the beach and went beachcombing for a while.

That’s right—for Gu Chen and Wang Yi, this was just for fun.

It was a thrill to find things in the sand.

After that, Yun Jiao took them to the area of the sea where she summoned the killer whales.

When Yun Jiao began to sing, Gu Chen was so stunned he just kept muttering, "Holy shit..."

His sunglasses even slid down his nose.

Especially when, in response to her song, the killer whales came rushing in from the far-off ocean.

As the melody changed, they began to leap rhythmically from the water. The sight was so stunning it made Gu Chen’s scalp tingle.

’At that moment, he truly felt that his little band was just messing around in bars. This scene right here was true art!’

’His stage was just a corner in a bar, while Yun Jiao’s stage was the entire ocean, the whole world itself!’

Wang Yi was just as stunned.

He had seen the killer whales and taken photos before, but he had never witnessed a scene like this.

Even if he had seen it before, seeing it again would still make his scalp tingle and goosebumps rise all over his body.

It filled a person with an inexplicable passion and excitement.

It made them want to scream, but they found they couldn’t make a sound. All they could do was widen their eyes and desperately try to burn the scene into their memory.

Once the killer whales and a few dolphins had gathered, Yun Jiao stopped singing.

*Phew...*

It was as if Gu Chen only then remembered he had to breathe.

"Hey, can that camera of yours record video?"

Wang Yi shot him a glare. "This is a camera, not a camcorder!"

Gu Chen said, "This won’t do. I’m going to pester my dad to buy me a good camcorder when I get back. I’ll regret not recording that for the rest of my life!"

Wang Yi couldn’t help but agree.

He felt the same regret. He had taken photos, but a still picture could never capture the same stunning impact.

"Hey, kid! A photo with a killer whale! Let’s start with ten bucks’ worth!"

The whole reason Gu Chen had come was to get a picture with a killer whale.

"Can you swim?"

Yun Xiaoqi asked with a grin, pocketing the money.

Gu Chen said, "Of course. Yours truly happens to be an excellent swimmer."

"Alright. Fifth Brother, go take our client to find a killer whale."

"Heh, you’re a real smooth operator."

Wang Yi said, "I want to go too!"

He had also been practicing his swimming like crazy after his last visit, all for a chance to get up close with the killer whales.

He also handed over ten bucks.

Yun Xiaoqi was grinning from ear to ear. ’Two big-shot clients! That’s twenty bucks in the bank already today!’

Of course, for Gu Chen and Wang Yi, the money was well worth it.

It wasn’t until they were truly up close with the killer whales that they realized just how massive the animals were.

Of course, they didn’t dare climb onto a killer whale’s back yet. At first, they could only watch stiffly from a short distance, keeping near the smaller killer whales or the dolphins.

But killer whales are relatively sociable marine animals. In the eyes of a killer whale, humans are like fun little toys.

While Gu Chen and Wang Yi were hesitant to get too close, the carefree and reckless killer whales had no such qualms.

One zipped over to the humans in a flash and gave them a nudge with its head.

They seemed delighted to watch the humans scramble to regain their balance.

However, thanks to Yun Jiao’s training, the killer whales didn’t dare to play too rough, afraid they might break their little toys.

Thanks to the killer whales’ enthusiasm, both Wang Yi and Gu Chen soon relaxed and started to play with them.

After the two had played for a while, Yun Jiao took out a ball.

She blew her whistle a few times.

"The ocean ball game is about to start! You guys, hurry and get back on shore!"

Yun Xiaowu yelled at the top of his lungs.

The moment they heard the whistle, the killer whales that had been playing with Gu Chen and Wang Yi instantly abandoned their new toys, flicked their tails, and swam toward Yun Jiao.

Soon, Yun Jiao was standing on a high reef, holding a soccer ball, with a circle of killer whales and dolphins surrounding her.

"The teams are the same as last time. When I yell ’start,’ you all go for the ball. Whichever team gets the ball back to me first wins."

Meanwhile, Gu Chen and Wang Yi, now back on shore, saw that many of the village kids had gathered around, and they were curious about what was going on.

Yun Xiaowu explained to them, "Just watch. Jiaojiao is having the killer whales and dolphins play soccer. It’s awesome—way more exciting than watching the kids from our school play."
