Even though it was the second time that he came to the supreme Houston’s house, Ji Feng was still shocked by its magnificence. But this time, Ji Feng met the whole Houston family.
In the evening, Ji Feng and Moore took Moore’s special sonic car to the entrance of Houston’s villa at the highest cloud layer. As soon as Ji Feng stepped off the car, he saw three figures of different heights looking over. After seeing Moore, they trotted towards them with their short legs.
Running at the forefront was a little boy with black hair and black eyes. He resembled a pink jade. His big eyes were bright and black, very cute. He was only five or six years old. Behind him were two delicate Gers with brown hair and brown eyes. But the tall one in the middle, with obvious shyness and curiosity on his face, was the person Ji Feng had seen last time. It was Marshal Houston’s youngest son, Gal Houston, the little Brother-in-Law who blushed the first time he saw Ji Feng.
As for the last one, who looked slightly immature, was dragged over by Gal and had a sullen expression on their face. His gaze did not fall on Ji Feng and them, but twisted to the side unnaturally, showing that he was dragged over against his will.
Ji Feng found that Moore, who had always been icy around him, showed obvious relief between his eyebrows after seeing the incoming people. His eyes even showed a bit of pampering that he hadn’t noticed.
“Second Brother, Second Brother-in-Law.” Gal greeted a little embarrassment and grabbed the little nephew, who was jumping forward.
On the contrary, the one with a reluctant face was not so shy, generously greeting Ji Feng and Moore, “Uncle Moore, Uncle.”
Moore hummed, but Gal bent over and whispered to the little one, who was not as tall as Ji Feng’s knees, “Hurry up and greet them, just like how I taught you just now.”
Since he was too close and Ji Feng was too tall, the little guy looked up at Ji Feng with difficulty. A pair of big black and bright eyes kept looking all over, as if Ji Feng was some bizarre thing. As a result, because the angle of his tilt was too large, he inadvertently fell a step backwards. Ji Feng and Moore reached out to him at the same time, but he was caught by Gal, who held him from the back.
“Shameful.” The immature Ger quietly criticized his younger brother.
Ji Feng laughed out loud. The little guy didn’t care. As soon as he stood firm, he broke free of Gal’s grip. He pounced on Ji Feng, or to be exact, on Ji Feng’s calf, and then hugged him as if hugging a big tree, holding him tightly.

“Hehe, my uncle is so tall, taller than Father.”
Ji Feng bent over, tucking his hands under both armpits of the little guy, and lifted the person up. The little guy, who was being carried on Ji Feng’s chest, stretched out two short arms without fear of life. The arms hung itself around Ji Feng’s neck.
The action seemed as if it was well-practiced. The other two were dumbfounded, even Moore was so surprised that he couldn’t speak. His heart was full of sour bubbles. It was obviously his nephew, whom Moore had watched as he grew older. Why did he rush into the arms of other men in a blink of an eye? The little guy had never been so intimate to his biological uncle before.
Moore glanced at the little guy faintly, “This is my Elder Brother’s child, Kerry, who will be 6 years old soon.” After speaking, he looked at the 12-13 years old Ger, “This is Ella, 13 years old. He’s also a child of Elder Brother.” When it came to Gal, he unconsciously became indifferent and concise, “Gal, you’ve seen him before.”
“What a really lovely child.” Ji Feng smiled and scraped Little Kerry’s little nose. Little Kerry immediately shook his head to avoid it and his short tiny arms hurriedly hugged Ji Feng’s big hand, “HAHA Uncle, itchy~”
This image made Moore’s heart involuntarily release a weird feeling again. That indescribable feeling; ticklish, unexplainable, heart-throbbing.
Ji Feng suddenly turned his head to look at Moore with a slight upset look, “You should’ve told me to bring some gifts.” Ji Feng liked a cute child like him a lot.
Moore glanced at him. That glance made Ji Feng feel a little inexplicable. He then turned his head, only to see that Moore was carrying a big bag in his hand. Under the shining gaze of Little Kerry, Moore first took out a big box. Judging from the cover, it was a popular children flying car toy.
Before Moore could speak, Little Kerry opened his arms and hugged the toy in his arms, disregarding that the toy was taller than him. But he did not forget to show gratitude, “Thank you Uncle Moore.”
Moore hooked his lips. You’re thanking me, but still holding someone else’s neck?
Moore then took out another exquisite big box. The calm eyes of Ella lit up in an instant, because it was a model of a Lopa Star SSS-Class super-suspended battleship. It was his favorite. Ji Feng understood in his heart that it seemed that this Ger would grow up like his uncle and become an excellent Mecha fighter.
“Thank you Uncle Moore.” It was clear to see that he liked the gift very much.
Just when Ji Feng noticed Gal’s visibly dimmed eyes, Moore handed over a beautifully packaged gift bag. The expression on Moore’s face was indifferent, but even so, Gal’s eyes glowed as he looked at Moore while carefully taking the gift. “Thank you Second Brother.”
It was Gal’s favorite cake and it was from the store he liked. It was the flavor he liked. Sure enough, Second Brother was only indifferent on the surface, but in fact he was still good to him.
Facing Gal’s touched expression, Moore was obviously feeling a little unnatural, so he said stiffly, “Not going in yet?”
Ji Feng’s heart moved slightly. But he had a new understanding of Moore. He was clearly a kind and attentive child, why must he pretend to be unreasonable?
“Kerry?” Moore was a little uncomfortable by Ji Feng’s meaningful gaze, so he simply stared at the little nephew in Ji Feng’s arms. His eyes were expressing: You are still not coming down and walking by yourself?
He didn’t expect that Little Kerry would hold the big flying car in his hand and tightly clinging to Ji Feng’s neck in the other, refusing to let go. His gesture obviously meant that he was unwilling to come down. ‘Ah, my uncle’s hug is so comfortable and this height is really so very super cool!’
“I’ll carry him.” Ji Feng smiled. Obviously, the cute little guy pleased him.
Ji Feng immediately reached out and held the big box, which was taller than the little guy. He shifted Little Kerry and held him with one hand, “Can Uncle help you hold it?”
Probably anyone’s tone would subconsciously become warm when talking to a child. Ji Feng was no exception.
It was the first time that Moore had heard Ji Feng’s gentle voice ever since meeting this person. The pampering tone made people’s hearts tremble involuntarily. The handsome face was leaking some indescribable gleams of light at this moment. The tone of his self-proclaimed ‘Uncle’ was as if this was the truth.
Ji Feng held Little Kerry all the way through the door. Since he had prior experience, Ji Feng was not too surprised this time. But he raised his eyebrows while looking at the scene in the house.
The first thing that caught his eye was naturally Marshal Wip, who was the most difficult to ignore in the living room. Rolt was the next, who frowned and looked at him. Next to Rolt was a friendly Su Qi, whom Ji Feng had met at the wedding of Rad Nelson. He was also the father of Kerry and Ella.
To Ji Feng’s surprise, the other male owner of the house was also there. That was Tolan Nelson, Marshal Wip Houston’s current partner.
Ji Feng had previously chanced upon his profile on the Star Network. As the youngest child of the previous Imperial King, Tolan had been adored since he was a child, but this had not affected him into becoming an excellent Ger. In addition, he had a distinguished status. He was also once Lopa Star’s most popular Male God. But what really made him sensational on the entire Lopa Star, was when he was 22 years old, he married Marshal Wip Houston, who was more than 20 years older than him.
It must be known that at that time, Marshal Wip had just lost his partner for only two months. Before that, Marshal Wip and his partner had a deep and righteous relationship. They were famous for being the model husbands of Lopa Star. Furthermore, Marshal Wip had two children at that time, and Tolan was only a few years older than Rolt.
Although Marshal Wip was a supreme being, it made people sigh when he married Tolan just after losing his partner. Ji Feng felt that this might have something to do with the conflict between Moore and his father. After all, Moore was already a child who was able to remember things at that time.
Without waiting for Ji Feng to move, Little Kerry in his arms struggled to get down. Ji Feng could only bend down and place him on the floor, then handed Little Kerry the tall box, “Hold it properly.”
“Thank you, Uncle.” After the little guy thanked Ji Feng politely, he hugged the big box and ran to his father, Su Qi. He whispered to his father’s ear, showing off that it was Uncle Moore’s gift.
Ella followed the rules well, as he sat next to his father. Gal also sat next to Tolan. It could be seen that this was a family with very strict upbringing. It was obvious that everyone was afraid of Marshal Wip. Even this little under-6-years-old kid dared not to disturb Grandpa.
For a moment, several pairs of eyes were concentrated on Ji Feng. Moore was unnaturally trying to signal Ji Feng to sit aside, but before he could convey the meaning, Marshal Wip smiled at Ji Feng and patted the empty sofa next to him, “Xiao Ji, come and sit.”
Moore’s heart tightened. Even Rolt looked at his father with some worry. The others looked at Ji Feng nervously, but in fact Marshal Wip just beckoned to his Son-in-Law with a Father-in-Law gesture. Or at least Ji Feng felt so and he didn’t feel the pressure at all.
So under everyone’s astonished eyes, Ji Feng walked over quickly, and then sat down beside Marshal Wip.
Marshal Wip’s deep eyes had always been on Ji Feng, especially Ji Feng’s expression and demeanor. It was not an exaggeration to say that even an Admiral with great military merits standing in front of him would be nervous. But this ordinary person, just like the first time he came, did not have the slightest formality on his face that a normal person should have. Marshal Wip could even feel that his body was completely relaxed and his expression was so natural, that Marshal Wip thought he was meeting with an old friend.
Really, how interesting.
“Want to drink tea?” Marshal Wip smiled and handed a cup of tea to Ji Feng.
Ji Feng reached out, took it, and politely said, “Thank you.”
At that moment, not to mention the sluggish Rolt, even Moore convulsed. You are really making yourself at home, aren’t you? Don’t you see that is only a cup of tea in this entire room? It was just made by Tolan for Marshal Wip.
In fact, Ji Feng found it a little awkward after receiving the tea. It was not because the expressions of the group of people were odd, but he discovered that he was the only one holding the tea. Then he suddenly remembered that in this world, tea was a very precious and rare luxurious good that even the capable and powerful couldn’t afford to drink. This was a little embarrassing.
Embarrassment was embarrassment, but one couldn’t return it after one picked it up, right? Besides, tea was originally the most basic thing for hospitality. Tea could be found just about anywhere in his original world and even people who were disciples could drink a bowl of crude tea. So it was no wonder that he didn’t think of it for a while.
So in order to alleviate the embarrassment, Ji Feng slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of elegance and enjoyment.
Everyone: ……Speechless.
The author has something to say:
Ji Feng: He handed it to me, I am very innocent.
Rolt: Hehe
Moore, Ella: ……
Gal, Kerry: Second Brother-in-Law (Uncle) is amazing! Starry eyes!
