After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 756

Chapter 756: What Demon? My Uncle is an Angel!
His kind reminder was wildly redundant.

Zhouzhou’s stamina being far beyond that of a typical child. Not to mention, even adults would struggle to keep up with her.

He felt as if he had been foolishly clever, now experiencing a sense of frustration without knowing how to articulate it. He was left feeling embarrassed and foolish.

Why was he wasting his time talking nonsense?

Xiang Chong came over, grinning widely. “Just because he’s not capable himself doesn’t mean others can’t be.”

With excitement in his voice, he looked at Zhouzhou and said, “Boss, how about a match between us?”

He grew up in the mountains, used to herding cattle and climbing up and down the mountains as if it were a daily routine. Even in the Fourth Bureau, his physical strength was exceptional, and his muscle was naturally developed.

But seeing Zhouzhou’s little legs running faster than him sparked a sense of competitive spirit in him.

“Let’s do it!” Zhouzhou was thrilled by the challenge. “Whoever wins gets to eat an extra big steamed bun!”

With that, she shot off, running even faster than before.

Xiang Chong’s eyes lit up, and he immediately chased after her.

The big and small figures darted around like the wind, coming and going quickly.

Skinny Monkey watched in astonishment, unable to suppress his surprise. He muttered, “I’ll be the referee.”

No one paid him any attention.

Zhouzhou and Xiang Chong had already disappeared from sight.

Cui Kun silently increased his pace, surpassing Skinny Monkey.

Skinny Monkey’s smile vanished instantly as he looked back nervously, seeing Lu Shi still several hundred meters behind. He sighed with relief, happy that he wasn’t the last one.

Lu Shi, being from the lab background, specialized in mechanical design and weapon making rather than physical strength. In comparison to those who excelled in combat, his physical prowess was negligible.

However, he remained calm, knowing he couldn’t compete, so he abandoned the idea of competing and maintained a steady pace at the back.

Zhouzhou passed him a few times, each time looking back and cheering him on.

After a few rounds, Lu Shi felt a bit embarrassed and, after a moment of hesitation, increased his speed.

“I’m done!” Zhouzhou finished the run and proudly put her hands on her chubby waist.

Xiang Chong caught up a few minutes later, panting and giving Zhouzhou a thumbs-up. “Not bad, Boss. As expected of you, so fast!”

Of course.

She wasn’t eating her meals for nothing!

“Uncle,” Zhouzhou ran up to Xi Mo and hugged his leg. “Can I have an extra big steamed bun later?”

Xi Mo patted her head. “Are you hungry?”

“Just a little,” Zhouzhou said, patting her stomach and looking at him with a pitiful expression.

Xi Mo’s heart melted instantly.

He turned to Xiang Chong and said, “Take Zhouzhou to eat.”

“Sure.” Xiang Chong nodded immediately, leading Zhouzhou towards the dining hall.

The training was intense, but the food was equally substantial, with bowls larger than usual.

Zhouzhou was stunned when she entered the dining hall.

She saw the nearest uncle shoveling rice and steamed buns into his mouth with gusto, the bowl so large that his face could almost fit inside it.

Zhouzhou suddenly felt her own appetite was not impressive at all.

She confidently pulled out her little golden token from her bag and strutted towards the kitchen.

“Uncle, fill my bowl!”

Her sweet voice stood out among the rough men, causing a sudden hush in the dining hall as everyone turned to look at her.

The chef looked at Zhouzhou, unable to see her face clearly due to the tall counter, but he could see a few strands of pigtails and a little figure.

He leaned out from the window and was immediately met with her soft, little face, breaking into a smile.

“Little girl, who are you coming with?”

Zhouzhou blinked. “My uncle.”

“Your uncle?” The chef pulled out a few candies from his pocket and handed them to Zhouzhou, curious. “Who is your uncle?”

It was strange that in this place where family matters were kept confidential, who could bring a child in? It must be some leader.

Just then, Zhouzhou said, “My uncle is Xi Mo!”

What? Captain Xi!

Instantly, everyone stopped and stared at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou was startled by their reaction and stood there confused, her chubby hands fidgeting.

Why did everyone look so surprised?

Is there a problem with her uncle being Xi Mo?

There was, of course, a huge problem.

The strong man Zhouzhou had seen earlier came over, holding a bowl of rice and curiously looking at Zhouzhou. He blurted out, “Devil Xi is your uncle? How could such a cold, thousand-year-old ice block produce such a soft and sweet little girl?”

Zhouzhou thought for a moment and replied seriously, “It’s because I wasn’t born from my uncle, but from my mom.”

“Uncle, why do you call my uncle Devil Xi?” Zhouzhou tilted her head, puzzled. “My uncle is so kind. He’s not a devil, he’s an angel.”

With that, even the chef’s mouth twitched.

If her uncle is an angel, he couldn’t image what a demon would be like!

The strong man looked at Zhouzhou, speechless.

Realizing something, he asked, “How did your uncle bring you here? This place isn’t suitable for children.”

Zhouzhou shook her head. “I’m not here to play; I’m here for training.”

“Huh?” The strong man was bewildered. “When did Devil Xi take on a children’s training camp?”

Nowadays, there are summer and winter camps where kids experience military life. But this didn’t seem like something Devil Xi would do.

He would have scared the kids away long before they had time to train.

Seeing his disbelief, Xiang Chong added, “It’s true, our boss is really amazing!”

He spoke with pride.

Others, however, were skeptical.

His boss? Could he possibly be talking about that little girl?

At that moment, Cui Kun walked in.

He had once been part of the military before being recruited by Zhao Xinghua to the Fourth Bureau. Many people here were his former comrades.

As Cui Kun entered, people greeted him.

Cui Kun nodded slightly and walked confidently up to Zhouzhou, respectfully saying, “Boss.”

What? He’s calling this little girl “Boss”?

Did they hear that right?

Moreover, isn’t Cui Kun now part of the Fourth Bureau? How did he end up back here?

Thinking about it, they recalled that the Commander had mentioned a few people would come to train with them.

Could these be the ones?

The strong man’s eyes darted as he looked at Zhouzhou.

Since her uncle had been so tough on them, it wasn’t unreasonable to seek some interest from her.

With a grin, he said, “Little girl, how about a match with us?”
