Chapter 2325: A Life of Impecunious Drifting (1)
It was no wonder that their uncle would always keep this pendant with him.
His uncle must be missing his grandma a lot, right?
Little Yichen glanced at his uncle and motherâs picture.
Looking at the incomparably bashful Gong Jie snuggling up to Yun Shishi, he suddenly remarked in disdain, âIâve never thought that uncle was also a kiddo when he was young, so short and small! Itâs hard to imagine what uncle ate while growing up to be this big now.â
âI also wanna know. It feels like heâs shorter than me when he was our age!â commented Youyou bitterly.
âNow, uncle is almost as tall as daddy! Daddy is 189cm tall,â said his older brother.
Their uncle heard their conversation and opened his eyes. He took off his sunglasses and glared at them unhappily. âWho said I was a kiddo? Iâve always been tall since I was young. Some boys werenât as tall as I was even though they were a few years older.â
He raised the pendant defiantly in front of his uncle and pointed at the kiddo snuggling to his sister in the picture. âEven if you were tall, you werenât taller than mommy!â
Gong Jie glanced at the photo he was pointing at before his face flushed in an instant. He coughed awkwardly, suddenly becoming shy!
Youyou was dumbfounded by his reaction. âUncle, why are you being all shy for no reason?!â
Little Yichen took a stab at the man, too. âItâs because he was smacked in the face with his lie! He claimed to be tall, but heâs obviously shorter than mommy in the picture!â
âThe short one there isnât me,â muttered the man.
âHa?â responded his younger nephew.
The older one widened his eyes in shock and caused a din. âIf thatâs not you, then who is it? Could that be my mommy?â
Gong Jie had a strange look on his face as he turned his face away submissively. He helplessly hummed in acknowledgment. âThe one with short hair is your mommy...â
Hearing this, the twinsâ mouths widened to an âOâ as looks of disbelief appeared on their faces.
âThen...â said Youyou dumbly.
âThe one with pigtails is you?!â Little Yichen finished his brotherâs question, clearly in disbelief.
The man closed his eyes and admitted unwillingly, âYes! Thatâs... Thatâs me!â
â!â
Youyou lay beside his uncle and imagined it out of curiosity.
In his head, Little Gong Jie secretly found a skirt from his sisterâs cupboard and wore it while checking himself out in the mirror. He then climbed onto his motherâs vanity table and clumsily put on lipstick, smearing it on his mouth recklessly.
Youyou had goosebumps in an instant.
Pervert!
No wonder.
It was no wonder he was not interested in women.
He was rendered speechless. âSo you, uncle, have transvestism since young!â
Little Yichen took another stab at his uncle. âPervert!â
Gong Jie commented innocently, âHmph! Howâs that possible?! Iâve never liked wearing skirts, but at that time, I didnât have a choice.â
...
In the photo, the one with the pigtails and smiling brightly was actually Gong Jie.
This photo was taken when they were seven years old. At that time, Mu Qingcheng always dressed him up as a girl.
This was not some coarse interest, though.
Speaking of this again brought back a series of bitter yet happy memories.
At that time, a pregnant Mu Qingcheng had left the Mu family without much cash on her.
She first escaped to a town near the capital before finding a job at a hair salon, scraping by with a meager living as she worked.
