1042 Demanding Childhood

In fact, compared to Kong Qing, Lin Jiansheng liked the name Lin Changkong more.

Although Kong Qing and Ah Kong were of the same soul, Kong Qing’s long life was too lonely and tragic.

Lin Jiansheng felt that the two words Kong Qing brought bad luck.

Therefore, he hoped that Ah Kong would choose the name Lin Changkong. He hoped that Ah Kong could be like an eagle and fight in the sky.

However, Ah Kong chose the name Kong Qing himself, so it could be considered fate.

“Alright, let’s call you Lin Kongqing.” This was what the child wanted. Since he wanted to be his treasure, Lin Jiansheng let him be.

Seeing that Lin Jiansheng had agreed, Ah Kong was overjoyed.

He still couldn’t believe it. With the intention of seeking confirmation, he raised his head and looked at Lin Jiansheng eagerly as he asked again, “Uncle Lin, are you sure you want to adopt me?” Recalling the discussions about him in town, Ah Kong tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart as he bit his lip and told Lin Jiansheng, “My mother died when I was born. They said that I’m an illegitimate child and that I might be a jinx. Uncle Lin, if I’m a jinx, do you still want to be my father?”

Ah Kong almost said—

“I’m afraid I’ll jinx you.”

Lin Jiansheng chuckled and smacked Ah Kong’s little head as he said, “My father died early, and my mother also died from illness when I was young. According to your logic, I might be a jinx too. As father and son, neither of us can jinx the other!”

Ah Kong finally grinned. “Hehe.” As he smiled happily, his mouth opened and his eyes curved.

Lin Jiansheng stroked Ah Kong’s soft hair gently as he marveled, “Ah Kong, you have no idea how happy I was to reunite with you.” Ah Kong was the biggest surprise the Cang Lang Continent had given Lin Jiansheng. He had made the right choice by coming on this ascension trip.

Ah Kong also said sincerely, “I’m very happy to meet you.”

“Alright, let’s get up first. When Mr. Zhang comes back later, we’ll talk to him about this properly.” Although Mr. Zhang didn’t adopt Ah Kong, he gave Ah Kong a bed and a warm blanket. He even cooked for Ah Kong every day.

His actions were fulfilling the role of a father. He was even more responsible than most fathers.

Hence, Lin Jiansheng decided to discuss the matter of adopting Ah Kong with Mr. Zhang.

From Mr. Zhang’s att.i.tude regarding Ah Kong, it wouldn’t be easy to bring Ah Kong out of town.

At the thought of this, Lin Jiansheng felt troubled.

How could he convince Mr. Zhang?

Ah Kong still didn’t know about the emnity between Mr. Zhang and his mother. He purely thought that Mr. Zhang had adopted him because he was a kind person. He didn’t know Lin Jiansheng’s worries and said innocently, “Mr. Zhang will definitely agree. I have been causing him trouble, so if I leave, he will definitely agree.”

Lin Jiansheng looked at Ah Kong hesitantly. He wanted to tell him about the relations.h.i.+p between his mother, Qingya, and Mr. Zhang. However, considering that Ah Kong was still too young, so even if he said it, Ah Kong wouldn’t understand, Lin Jiansheng stopped himself.

At that moment, the door outside the living room suddenly sounded.

Lin Jiansheng and Ah Kong were sleeping on the small bed in the living room. When they heard the door open, the two of them turned around and saw Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang was holding a bag of handmade noodles and a handful of vegetables. As he stood at the entrance, he glanced at Ah Kong and Lin Jiansheng and said, “Hurry up and get up to eat noodles.” Then, he carried the things downstairs.

As soon as he left, Yu Huang, Sheng Xiao, He Zhiqiu, and the others walked out of the guest room.

Although He Zhiqiu had been in the room just now, he heard Lin Jiansheng and Ah Kong’s conversation. He Zhiqiu walked to the bed and said to Lin Jiansheng, “Brother Lin, if you want to take Ah Kong away, I don’t think Mr. Zhang will agree.” Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that although Mr. Zhang seemed to be very cold to Ah Kong, he was actually raising him as his own son.

Lin Jiansheng had just ascended to the Cang Lang Continent, so how could Mr. Zhang be at ease with handing Ah Kong to him?

Lin Jiansheng sighed and said, “I will fight for it.”

“I hope your wish will be fulfilled.”

He Zhiqiu had yet to complete the a.s.sessment, so he could still go to the canteen to free breakfast.

Seeing that He Zhiqiu was about to leave, Mr. Zhang said, “Why are you leaving? Stay here and eat with us.”

Thus, He Zhiqiu stayed.

The dining room on the first floor was a little small. Usually, only Mr. Zhang and Ah Kong would eat in the dining room. With the sudden addition of four adults, the dining room was instantly crowded. Everyone stood in the dining room with a big bowl as they ate the noodles.

Even Yu Huang was holding a bowl.

Mr. Zhang’s culinary skills were not bad. The noodles looked bland, but it had been carefully brewed in bone soup. The vegetables were fresh, while the poached egg was crispy and delicious. The egg yolk was half-ripe. It flowed slightly, but it didn’t spread.

Sheng Xiao liked spicy food. Usually, he would only have an appet.i.te after eating a spoonful of red spicy oil. However, he finished the entire bowl of noodles this morning without even leaving any soup left.

After dinner, Ah Kong went to wash the dishes.

Yu Huang said, “Let me do it.”

Sheng Xiao reached out to take everyone’s bowls first and said, “Let me do it.”

They were all living under someone else’s roof, so they should work. However, Sheng Xiao was idle, so he wouldn’t let Yu Huang wash the dishes.

Yu Huang didn’t argue with Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao went to wash the dishes. After He Zhiqiu looked at the time, he said to Mr. Zhang, “Mr. Zhang, thank you for taking me in last night. The noodles are delicious too. The entrance of the base should be open now, so I’ll take my leave.”

Mr. Zhang nodded. “Yes, go ahead.”

Yu Huang stopped He Zhiqiu and said, “Mr. He, I’ll go with you.”

He Zhiqiu was a little surprised. “Little girl, you’re also interested in medicinal herbs?”

Yu Huang smiled and said, “I have nothing to do, so I want to go to your herb garden to broaden my horizons.” Then, Yu Huang asked Sheng Xiao, who was was.h.i.+ng the dishes in the kitchen, “Brother Xiao, are you coming with me or do you have other plans?”

Sheng Xiao replied without turning around, “I’m going to watch Donor’s battle.”

“Alright, I’ll leave with Mr. He.”

After Yu Huang and He Zhiqiu left together, only Ah Kong and Lin Jiansheng were left in the dining room. Ah Kong said to Mr. Zhang, “Mr. Zhang, I’m going to Mr. Philand’s place to get breakfast.” The bosses of the town’s base all ordered breakfast from Philand. Ah Kong had to go to the beef restaurant every morning to get noodles and send them to the bosses of every base.

Mr. Zhang nodded. “Go ahead.”

Ah Kong waved goodbye to Lin Jiansheng again before running out of the blanket base.
