Midsummer Mermaid

Chapter 2 Magnolia Tree (02)
Master Mu looked at Mu Xia, "Xiao Xia, quickly say hello to uncle and aunt."

Mu Xia hopped up to them, lifted her skirt playfully and bowed, "Hello Uncle! Hello Aunt!"

"You're so good," Madam Ling stroked her head and pulled her into her arms.

Master Mu smiled lightly, "Don't look at her very obedient now, she can be a headache when she is naughty, if you cause any trouble, don't be soft-hearted and teach her well."

Mu Xia pouted.

"What trouble can a child cause if he is only seven years old? Besides, a lively child is especially loved," Madam Ling laughed. "She is only four years younger than our Xiao Yu, so she happens to be his companion. Xiao Yu, come here."

Mu Xia opened her eyes brightly, looking at the boy who was gradually approaching.

He is Ling Xuanyu.

She has shiny hair that reaches her neck, her eyes are as warm as sunshine, and the corners of her childish lips are even more curved. She looks like a gentle and humble little prince.

His skin is very white, so white that it seems to be transparent spring rain.

"This is Xiaoxia, she will live with us for a while in the future, you have to take good care of her."

"Mom, I see."

His voice is like the ray of sunshine in midsummer, warming the heart.

Madam Ling put Mu Xia down, gently pinched her pink face, and then looked at Ling Xuanyu.

"Xiaoyu, take Xiaoxia to play around."

Ling Xuanyu smiled, took Mu Xia's little hand and walked out of the living room.

The grown-ups stared at the two little figures from behind, seemingly fascinated, as if thinking about something in their hearts.

There was a slight smile on Master Ling's rigorous face.

"Youqing, what a joy it would be if they could get married when they grow up, then we will really be a family!"

"I will remember your words today, and I can't go back on my word!" Master Mu smiled, and the beard on the corner of his mouth trembled.

In the living room, there was warm laughter...

……

Ling Xuanyu led Mu Xia out of the living room and came to the swimming pool at home.

"Brother Yu, your swimming pool is so big! It's like an ocean!"

"Do you like the sea?"

"I like it! I like it the most!"

Mu Xia laughed, his eyes bent into crescents.

Ling Xuanyu held her hand tightly, "Hey, don't get too close, it will be troublesome if you fall."

"I'm good at swimming! Dad also said that I'm a free mermaid princess in the water!"

"Does Xiaoxia like swimming very much?"

"Ok!"

His eyes blinked slowly, "Can we swim together when you have time?"

"it is good!"

Ling Xuanyu smiled, and led her to the courtyard full of magnolias.

It's summer.

Pollen particles float in the air.

Pieces of white and tender petals flew down like feathers, brushed her eyelashes, and caressed her skirt.

Not far away, a boy stood by the window with his chin in his hands.

In his deep black eyes, he could not find the innocence that a child should have, only hostility.Under the dim light, the corners of his lips were as stiff as ice.

"Brother Yu," Mu Xia was startled, "Who is he?"

The warmth in Ling Xuanyu's eyes disappeared, but she still smiled, "Let's go, let's go to your room and have a look."

Mu Xia followed Ling Xuanyu's footsteps, but his eyes could not be separated from those black eyes, which were so black that they glowed with a dark purple light.In the days that followed, Mu
Xia finally knew that the child who often stood by the window was the second young master of the Ling family.

His name is Ling Xuansheng.

He doesn't like to talk, even if he speaks out, his tone is full of coldness, sarcasm, and disdain.
