"Auntie," he said, his eyes sparkling.
Seeing that look, Zhilin raised one eyebrow and replied,
"What is it, you smelly brat?"
"I already took a bath you're the smelly one, Auntie," he said with a proud smile.
Zhilin looked at the child with a disgusted expression, lifting one brow.
"Don't you have any friends? Why do you always come to my shop? Is it because this auntie is beautiful?" Zhilin smiled, showing off her appearance.
The child looked Zhilin up and down, shivering at what he heard.
"Yeah… I don't have any friends…" he said sadly.
"The kids in this city are so dirty, Auntie. They play in the sewers, roll around in the sand, even play with poop," he said with a pout.
Zhilin looked at him in confusion "Smelly brat, how old are you?"
The child raised all ten of his fingers.
"Ten"
"Ten?"
"Yeah"
Zhilin crossed her arms.
"Where's your youthful spirit? At your age, you should be out exploring the world, getting dirty like that it strengthens your immune system."
The child tilted his head.
"Hmmm… but Mom and Uncle said dirt causes diseases. And I've already explored almost every planet, Auntie. This is my 30th planet."
"Hah?" Zhilin heard that and thought, 'WTF, 30?! This smelly brat is basically born with a golden spoon shit!'
Zhilin started sweating, trying to recall their past encounters.
'Did I say something hurtful to this kid? Ugh… I can't remember. My memory is like a fish…'
"Auntie?" he asked, confused.
"Yeah?! Smelly brat, what's your name?"
"Auntie, you're asking my name?" he said excitedly.
"Yeah," she replied with a smile.
With sparkling eyes, he said,
"Finally! After ten meetings, you're asking my name. My name is Pi Zhi Yuan don't call me smelly brat anymore."
"Ooo… Pi Zhi Yuan… Pi, huh?"
"Yeah. It's a good name, right?" he said proudly.
"Are you—" Zhilin shook her head.
"Hm?" Zhi Yuan looked at Zhilin.
