Chapter 319 – Stop Making Us Worry (2)

Their gaze seemed to be saying that they would not admit that they were wrong because in their opinion, they were doing the right thing.

Even if time were to repeat once more, the three of them knew that they would repeat the same thing as before.

Bang!

"You\'re not allowed to do anything so reckless again in the future!" Old Master Nan slammed his hand on the table. He felt that he was growing old too fast when he saw the faces of his grandchildren.

They were all openly going against him but there was nothing that he could do to stop them. All he could do was to reprimand them when the matter was over because his heart wouldn\'t be able to take it having his grandchildren betting with their lives on the line like that.

If they didn\'t send message that they were going back safely, Old Master Nan knew that he would have summon a storm here.

"Yes, Grandfather."

The three of them were saying yes, but their expression clearly told Old Master Nan that they would definitely repeat the same thing if such thing were to happen again. At this thought, Old Master Nan really wanted to smack them on their head one by one, but found himself unable to do so.

"Tomorrow, you\'ll increase your training by two times until that start."

"Yes, Grandfather."

"You can go back and have some rest."

Dismissing the children, Old Master Nan held his head and leaned on the chair. His old body really couldn\'t handle him waking up and took an all-nighter like this. If this was in the past, he would still be able to run around and shout loudly even if he were to stay awake for three days and three nights.

But now, just one night already caused his old body to grow tired.

Old Master Nan clearly understood it very well. Time had finally caught up with him and it was impossible for him to stand at the forefront to protect his grandchildren anymore. They would grow up and leave him.

"Hou Lin."

"Master."

"Do you think that I\'m already so old that my grandchildren have to do everything by themselves?" Old Master Nan laughed faintly. It was clear that he was still thinking about the fact that the three children were the one who had to worry about him and not the other way around.

He felt a bit vexed.

If only… if only this old body of his was still able to move as he wished, he would have never allowed his grandchildren to be the one to stand at the forefront.

They were all still children for the Heaven sake!

Hou Lin struggled to find the correct word to answer. "Master, the children are starting to grow up."

"Do you grow up when you\'re 10 years old?"

Hou Lin had no answer to that.

Old Master Nan shook his head and looked at the sky. He closed his eyes as a drop of tear fell from the corner of his right eyes. If only it was possible, he would wish for them to have a slightly normal childhood and not grow up this early.

It was still fine for the Feng brothers because the fault lies on Feng Qian Shao who only served as an idol for his children for them to chase. Besides, the reason why Feng Ao Kuai was mature was because his older brother was so childish yet he had become a commander.

It was a bit… unsettling.

But Nan Luo and Nan Hua… Seeing the solemn expression on their faces would shake his heart from time to time.

"I wish that they can still be a little kid for a little longer." Old Master Nan smiled bitterly. "I want them to run to me while yelling and ask for me to carry them up."

He had visited Nan Shu Cheng many years ago when the twins were still around 2 to 3 years old. The two of them were so cute back then as they ran to him and hugged his legs, one at the left and one at the right.

They would ask him to give them some sweet because their mother forbid them from eating too much. He would sneak a little bit of sugar candy for the two of them and watched the kids ate it together.

The sight was something that warmed his heart greatly.

Unfortunately, it was a scene that would not be able to repeat itself.

The image of Nan Luo\'s crying face and his desperate cries appeared before Old Master Nan\'s eyes. He would never be able to forget that scene in his entire life.

The morning was very quiet.

With everyone sleeping, only Nan Si Qiao was awake. She hurried over to Nan Hua\'s room after she heard about what had happened. Looking at the girl\'s face as she was sleeping, she couldn\'t help but feel even more worried. Her hand moved to brush over Nan Hua\'s hair.

"Madam Feng, Miss is tired."

"I know." Nan Si Qiao looked at Nan Hua then sighed deeply. Her voice was nearly inaudible. "You little lass, when will you stop making us worry so much?"

She turned around and whispered to Xiao Yun, "Prepare porridge when it\'s near afternoon. When Hua\'er wake up, warm it up again to make sure that it would be good for her. Also, prepare some easy to eat food…."

Xiao Yun was Nan Hua\'s maidservant and usually would not receive order from anyone but Nan Hua. But since Nan Hua was sleeping and Nan Si Qiao was genuinely worried, Xiao Yun naturally took note.

Nan Si Qiao gave order in extremely low voices as they walked out of the room in order to avoid waking her up.

After the two of them left, the room resumed its tranquility.

Nan Hua slowly opened her eyes. Her dark obsidian eyes were staring at the ceiling in front of her as the words her senior sister left her echoed in her ear.

\'You\'re not alone.\'
