Chapter 2470 Side Story; Nameless Nie 3
“Ling Miao, why’s your surname Ling?”
Nameless Nie curiously stared at the girl.
“Why is your surname Nie?” the girl retorted.
“My dad’s surname is Nie,” Nameless Nie replied.
“But isn’t your father’s surname Ling?” Ling Miao glanced at him.
“Eh, my dad’s situation is a bit special… You can take it as I took my mom’s surname.” Nameless Nie’s expression was a bit awkward.
“I also took my mom’s surname. Is there a problem?” Ling Miao said detachedly.
“What I meant was… where did your dad go?” Nameless Nie was blunt.
Ling Miao pondered over it for a moment and didn’t evade the question. “My dad abandoned my mom and me and ran off with another woman.”
“Huh?”
Nameless Nie was astonished. “I thought your dad died, your mom was a widow, and you were an orphan…”
Ling Miao: “…”
“However, Great Aunt Ling is so pretty! Why would your dad run off with another woman? Could it be that woman is prettier than Great Aunt Ling?” Nameless Nie inquired nosily.
“If you don’t know how to talk, you’re best off staying quiet.” Ling Miao furrowed her brows.
“Fine fine fine, I won’t talk… Oh right, when I came, I saw a small ferris wheel in town. Let’s go out and play a bit,” Nameless Nie suggested with a grin.
Ling Miao shook her head. “My mom doesn’t allow me to go out and play.”
“Great Aunt Ling doesn’t allow you to go out and play?” Nameless Nie was shocked. “Isn’t that smothering our true nature? That’s unforgivably wicked!”
“And I’m not that interested,” Ling Miao continued.
Nameless Nie pursed his lips. “How could you not be interested… I’m telling you—it’s because you haven’t tried. Come, I’ll take you.”
Nameless Nie grasped Ling Miao’s hand and tried to move.
However, two seconds later, a “plop” was heard. Nameless Nie suddenly lost balance and was thrown to the ground by Ling Miao.
“AHHH!” Nameless Nie fell on the ground with a wail.
“Are you okay…”
A shadow of worry flickered through Ling Miao’s eyes when she heard how awful Nameless Nie was howling. She didn’t use any force.
“How could I be okay? I’m going to tell Great Aunt Ling that you actually hit me!” Nameless Nie was full of grievances.
“Where does it hurt?” Ling Miao gently knelt down, her bright eyes examining Nameless Nie.
“My head! There’s a giant bump! Feel it!” Nameless Nie snorted from his spot on the ground.
Ling Miao softly touched Nameless Nie’s head and said, “It’ll be fine… It’ll go away soon.”
“What do you mean fine? I’m telling you—I was going easy on you earlier and suppressing my instincts or else you’d definitely be seriously injured right now. You might even be dead…” Nameless Nie grumbled grumpily.
Ling Miao had no choice but to nod. “Alright, I’ll apologize to you. I won’t hit you next time. If you still aren’t happy with that, you can also hit me once.”
“Who wants to hit you? I have no interest in hitting you,” Nameless Nie responded.
“Then… what do you want?” Ling Miao asked.
Nameless Nie dusted off his bum and stood up, grasping Ling Miao’s hand again. “Let’s go on the ferris wheel…”
He’d just finished speaking when he lost his balance again and was knocked to the ground by Ling Miao instinctively.
“You… you liar! Didn’t you say… you wouldn’t hit me again?! Why did you hit me again? Is it because you think I can’t beat you?!” Nameless Nie furiously stared at Ling Miao, his eyes wide open.
Ling Miao was quiet for a moment before answering, “It was instinct.”
