"But if you thank me for begging me to come out, I will give you the pure gold building in the treasure!"

Zhu Zhixin paused for a moment before speaking, "Actually, whether the wishing vases exist or not has no impact on the Kingdom of Bribri, because my father told me that our ancestors found these vases 2000 years ago. If you want those two wishing vases, perhaps my father can help you."

Chapter 254 Misae's Special Concern

After walking for about half an hour, the two finally saw the tree trunk where the wallpaper room was located. Inside, Xiaoxin was humming a tuneless children's song with lyrics he made up himself: "Ayu, Ayu, come back quickly, let's play games together~"

Lin Yu pushed open the door to the wallpaper room, and the noise in the living room stopped instantly. Xiao Xin, holding a game controller, turned to look at the door. When he saw Zhu Zhixin, his eyes widened instantly, and the controller in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

Wow! You look exactly like me! Just like me in the mirror! Even your hair is the same!

Zhu Zhixin was also stunned, looking at Xiaoxin who looked exactly like him. He subconsciously hid behind Lin Yu, only revealing half of his timid face, his eyes full of curiosity and a little bit of fear, not knowing how to react.

"Shin-chan! Don't be rude! You're scaring people!" Misae quickly pulled Shin-chan back to stop him from rushing over, and then gave Shin-chan a gentle smile, as if she were treating him as her own child.

"Come in and sit down. It's hot outside. Auntie will pour you a glass of hot juice that's just out of the fridge to cool you down!"

Lin Yu pulled Zhu Zhixin in front of him and gave a brief explanation to Misae and Hiroshi.

"This is Prince Suke no Shin from the Kingdom of Bribri. I discovered he was imprisoned by the White Snake Gang while I was scouting. They were the same people who tried to kidnap Shin-chan before..."

Lin Yu briefly explained what had happened to Nohara Shinnosuke and his family. After listening to Lin Yu's explanation, everyone showed extra concern for Shinnosuke.

Hiroshi walked over and nodded to Sukenori, his face bearing a gentle smile that showed no sign of unfamiliarity. "Welcome, Sukenori. You must be hungry, right? I'll heat up some rice balls for you, and there's also chicken soup that Misae made. It tastes really good, you'll see once you try it!"

Misae turned around and went into the kitchen. She took out a bottle of imported orange juice from the refrigerator. The orange juice was orange in a transparent glass bottle with foreign words printed on it, which looked very high-end.

She poured the orange juice into a ceramic cup with a bear pattern on it, which was slightly cool to the touch. Then, she carefully inserted a pink cartoon straw and handed it to Shin. "Here, have some orange juice to hydrate. It's very sweet and delicious, give it a try!"

Zhu Zhixin held the cup with both hands and gently touched the inside of the cup with his fingertips. The cool orange juice inside felt nice and soothing, which relaxed his tense shoulders a little.

He took a small sip of the orange juice, the sweetness spreading in his mouth with a hint of orange fragrance, not cloying at all. He couldn't help but smile at Misae, his eyes crinkling into a gentle smile as warm as the sunshine after the rain. "Auntie, the orange juice is very sweet, thank you!"

Misae was amused by his well-behaved appearance and reached out to pat his head. Her fingers felt comfortable touching his soft hair. "I'm glad you like it. If you need more, just tell Auntie. There's plenty in the fridge, so you can have as much as you want!"

She turned and glared at Shin-chan, who was trying to grab the straw from the side. Her tone was a little stern but also a little indulgent. "You drink plain water! You secretly drank two glasses of orange juice yesterday, so you're not allowed to drink any more today!"

Shin-chan pouted but didn't argue, only snorted unwillingly. Then he went around to Shin-chan's side, stood on tiptoe to look at the cup in his hand, his eyes full of envy but he didn't dare to snatch it again. "Shin-chan, have you ever seen a juice cup shaped like an elephant? The straw is a long trunk and you can suck up the juice to the bottom of the cup. It's so much fun! My mom bought me one last time, but unfortunately I finished it."

Zhu Zhixin shook his head, his eyes full of curiosity, his little head tilted, looking very cute. "I've never seen anything like it. What does an elephant-shaped juice look like? Is the straw really a long trunk?"

"Of course it's true! I'll go find it for you!" Shin-chan excitedly grabbed Suke-chan's hand and ran towards the refrigerator, shouting back, "Yu! Are there any more elephant straws in the refrigerator? I want to show Suke-chan!"

Lin Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes, look for it in the small compartment on the refrigerator door."

Guangzhi leaned closer to Lin Yu and whispered with a hint of curiosity and anticipation, "Lin Yu, are all the White Snake Gang members really tied up? They won't run away, will they? And that snake wine you mentioned... can it really strengthen the body? I've heard people say that snake wine can cure rheumatism and also nourish the body, I wonder if it's true."

"They're all tied to the big tree at the cave entrance with iron chains, they can't run away. I checked them over, they're very secure," Lin Yu said. Then, remembering that Guangzhi always complained about his back, he added, "Snake wine can indeed strengthen the body, but it's not brewed yet, we have to wait a month before we can drink it. I'll save some for you then."

"Oh, that's great! I'll be waiting!" Hiroshi smiled, his eyes crinkling, and stroked his chin with anticipation. "When we get back, I'll drink a little bit every day, and maybe my back won't hurt anymore. Then I can take Shin-chan to the park!"

"Hiroshi! Come help wash the vegetables! We're going to make a good meal for Sukenoki today!" Misae's voice came from the kitchen, urging him on.

Hiroshi let out a wail, his expectant expression instantly turning into helplessness, but he still reluctantly walked over, muttering, "You have to call me to wash vegetables? Can't you wash them yourself...? I wanted to talk to Lin Yu about snake wine..."

Lin Yu watched this scene and a smile appeared on his lips. The lively atmosphere of the Nohara family always made the tense atmosphere more relaxed.

Shin-chan has found an elephant straw in the refrigerator. It's a white plastic straw with the tip bent into the shape of an elephant's trunk, and it's very cute.

He filled a straw with tap water, inserted it into the straw, and handed it to Zhu Zhixin. "Try it! This long nose can suck up to the bottom of the cup, it's so much fun! I'll teach you how to use it!"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Zhixin took the cup and, as Xiaoxin had instructed, put the straw in his mouth and took a sip of water. The water flowed down his "long nose" into his mouth, feeling cool and refreshing.

He couldn't help but laugh, his eyes curving into crescent shapes, completely forgetting his previous fear.

"How was it? Was it fun?" Shin-chan proudly put his hands on his hips like a little teacher, and then pulled Shin-chan to play Super Mario.

Shinnosuke Nohara handed him the game controller. "Try this! See that square with the question mark? Hit it with your head! Mushrooms will appear; eat them and you'll grow bigger!"

Shoji Shin's fingers were a little stiff as he held the small controller. He slowly guided the character forward and gently pressed the jump button when he encountered a question mark block. Unexpectedly, he bumped into a giant mushroom! The character instantly grew taller and successfully jumped over the ditch in front of him. The words "Level Up" popped up on the screen.

"Wow! You're amazing! You're so good on your first time! You're much better than Dad!" Shin-chan leaned over, his eyes wide with admiration, and said, "Hit it again! Hit it again! I want to see you smash stars out of the sky!"

Lin Yu watched the two of them having a great time with a smile on his face. He turned around and went into his room, intending to take a shower before coming out to eat with them.

Lin Yu had just finished washing up when he smelled the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen. Misae, wearing a beige apron, was bringing the last plate of tamagoyaki to the table.

The golden tamagoyaki has slightly curled edges and a faint sheen on its surface, and is sprinkled with a small amount of bonito flakes, swaying gently in the breeze.

The dark wood dining table was already set with five sets of bowls and chopsticks. In the center was a pot of steaming miso soup, and next to it were crispy fried chicken pieces, cucumber salad, and a bowl of pickled radish. Every dish was steaming hot and looked incredibly delicious.

Shoji sat next to Shin-chan, his hands neatly placed on his knees, his eyes curiously fixed on the fried chicken nuggets on the table.

He changed his dirty clothes into a light blue short-sleeved shirt with a slightly loose collar that revealed a small section of his fair neck. His soft hair clung to his forehead, making him look more shy than usual.

As soon as Misae sat down, she picked up the serving chopsticks and placed the largest piece of fried chicken steadily into Suke's bowl. Her voice was so gentle it could melt your heart, "Suke, try the fried chicken Auntie made. It's freshly fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so delicious!"

Zhu Zhixin looked up, his eyes sparkling, and whispered, "Thank you, Aunt Misae!" before carefully picking up a piece of fried chicken with his chopsticks.

He first took a small bite, the crispy skin making a soft "crunch" sound in his mouth, and the tender chicken inside was juicy with a hint of saltiness.

His eyes lit up and he took another big bite, not noticing the oil on his lips, just squinting his eyes in satisfaction, just like a kitten that had just eaten candy.

Shin-chan, sitting opposite, felt a little uneasy watching this scene.

He secretly reached out with his chopsticks to pick up the tamagoyaki on the plate, but as soon as he touched the edge, Misae's chopsticks slapped it away.

Misae's voice rose a little at once, "Shin-chan, you've already eaten a lot, so let your little brother have the last piece!"

Shin-chan pulled his hand back, pouting at Misae with dissatisfaction. "Shin-chan is taller than me, he's not my younger brother!" As he spoke, he deliberately puffed out his chest, wanting Misae to see who was taller. As a result, he almost slipped off his chair because he puffed out too much, which made everyone burst out laughing.

Misae smiled, picked up another piece of cucumber salad with her chopsticks and put it into Suke's bowl, carefully removing the chili peppers from the cucumber. "Suke doesn't like spicy food, right? Auntie removed the chili peppers. Eating more vegetables is good for your health!"

Zhu Zhixin nodded obediently and ate the cucumber, occasionally glancing up at Xiaoxin with a slightly embarrassed and apologetic look in his eyes.

Seeing how kind his mother was to Susumu Shin, Shin seemed to understand something and loudly said to Misae, "Mom, Susumu Shin is still a child. Don't you dare try anything with him!"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu froze in mid-air as he was about to put the food in his mouth.

Shin looked at Shin with a puzzled expression. Hiroshi took a sip of orange-flavored juice and almost spat it out, coughing incessantly as he choked.

Misae's face instantly turned tomato red, and several veins popped out on her forehead. She slammed down her chopsticks and smacked Shin-chan on the head. "Shin-chan! What nonsense are you spouting! How could I have feelings for a child? What kind of rubbish is in your head all day long!"

Shin-chan, wincing in pain from the beating, clutched his head and huddled behind a chair, muttering, "That's how it is..." His voice wasn't loud, but it was still clearly audible in the quiet room.

Misae was about to scold him again, but when she saw Shinichi looking at her nervously, she suppressed her anger. She just glared at Shinichi and then turned to Shinichi with a gentle smile. "Shinichi, don't mind him. He deserves a beating. Eat up. If you're not full, Auntie will give you more."

Hiroshi finally stopped coughing. He wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth and looked at Sukenoki Shin with his tone as gentle as possible, "Sukenoki Shin, do you know where you live? If you do, we'll take you home together tomorrow, okay?" As he spoke, he took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket and handed it to Sukenoki Shin, hoping to make him relax.

Zhu Zhixin took the fruit candy, held it in his hand, and gently rubbed the candy wrapper with his fingers.

He lowered his head, his long eyelashes casting a small shadow under his eyelids, his voice a little low, "I'm sorry, I've never left the palace since I was born except for this time." When Guangzhi saw his appearance, he quickly waved his hand and his tone softened even more, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay if you don't know, anyway you can stay here for now, and it's not too late to leave after you find your way home."

Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly said, "It's okay, Shin-chan, I'll definitely help you find your home!" Shin-chan, who was standing next to him, also chimed in, "That's right, Yu is amazing, he'll definitely help you find your home!" Hearing everyone's comforting words, Shin-chan smiled again.

Zhu Zhixin paused and then added, "By the way, after I was kidnapped, my personal guards are definitely looking for me now, especially Lulu. She's really good at it. When we used to play hide-and-seek in the palace, she was always the first to find me!"

"That's wonderful!" Hiroshi exclaimed immediately upon hearing the news. As he spoke, he accidentally bumped the juice glass next to him, and the orange juice spilled out, splashing onto his gray pants and leaving a large wet stain.

After spilling juice on his pants, Hiroshi panicked and quickly grabbed a tissue from the table, wiping his pants haphazardly while muttering, "Oops, look at my clumsy hands!"

Shin-chan couldn't help but laugh when he saw his dad's disheveled appearance. "Sorry, Shin-chan, my dad's been a little slow on the uptake. I hope you'll forgive him." He said it so seriously, as if Hiroshi really was stupid.

Hiroshi stopped wiping his pants upon hearing this, turned around and glared at Shin-chan, then slapped him on the butt. "You brat, who are you calling stupid? Who cleaned up your mess last time you put salt in your coffee thinking it was sugar?"

Shin-chan jumped up after being hit, clutching his bottom and hiding behind Lin Yu. He didn't forget to turn back and make a face, saying, "That was because I didn't mean to. Dad often wears his socks inside out too!"

Hiroshi was so angry his face turned red, and he was about to hit her again when Misae stopped him: "Alright, alright, we're eating, stop fooling around, or you'll scare Kosuke."

Zhu Zhixin sat to the side, staring blankly at the family bickering in front of him with a hint of envy in his eyes. When he was in the palace, he was only surrounded by guards and maids. Few people had ever joked with him like this or played pranks on him.

Lin Yu noticed his expression and quickly broke the silence, "Don't worry about it, they're just joking around, they're always like this." As he spoke, he reached out and patted Shuzhi's head, his fingers touching his soft hair and feeling its warmth. "From now on, if there's anything you want to eat or play with, you can tell me, and I can almost always conjure it up!"

Zhu Zhixin looked up, his eyes filled with surprise, and asked Lin Yu, "Really? Anything is fine?"

"Really!" Lin Yu smiled and nodded, his eyes very serious. "Anything I can do, I can do."

Chapter 255 Searching for Lulu, the Captain of the Royal Guard

After hesitating for a moment, Suketo Shin said, "Can I have a Mario toy now?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his little hand and made a small Mario gesture, "You know, the one with the red hat and blue overalls, the one from the video game!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu noticed that a Mario toy had appeared out of his empty hands without him even realizing it.

The red hat had a white "M" on it, and the blue overalls were brand new. His round belly made him look adorable.

He handed the toy to Zhu Zhixin and said with a smile, "Of course!"

Zhu Zhixin happily took the toy and hugged it tightly in his arms.

He looked down at Mario's face, and a wide smile slowly spread across his face, making him look incredibly cute. "Thank you, Brother Lin Yu! I love it so much!"

"Ayu, I want a Mario toy too!"

Xiao Xin suddenly popped out from behind Lin Yu, "You must have more, hurry up and give me one!"

Lin Yu smiled and patted Shin-chan's head, then conjured up another Mario toy. He handed the toy to Shin-chan, saying, "Of course you can, but Shin-chan has to be good."

Shin-chan took the toy, immediately held it above his head, and imitated Mario, hopping and skipping around the table while shouting, "Mario's here!"

This caused everyone to burst into laughter. "I've always been the most 'obedient' kid," Shin-chan said, stopping and putting his hands on his hips with a smug look on his face.
