The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 33 (Patreon)

Chapter 33

The little girl wore a princess headband with soft black hair cascading smoothly around her neck. Her large eyes held a curious expression as she asked, "Are you a child of this family?"

"Ling Chunann silently exclaimed in her mind, 'So adorable! But why is she so tall?'"

098 interjected, "Host, she's the standard height for children her age." Implying, of course, that Ling Chunann was too short.

Xiao Yuanlang, adopted by the Xiao family three years ago, had just turned eleven. Despite being only a few months older than Ling Chunann, the latter had to look up at her.

Seeing Ling Chunann remain silent and just stare at her, Xiao Yuanlang took a few steps forward, crouched beside her, and didn't hide her affectionate expression. "Hello, I'm Xiao Yuanlang. I'm eleven this year. What's your name?"

Ling Chunann blinked, "I..."

"Darling, why don't you call Daddy when you wake up?" Duan Chengyuan's voice came from the stairs.

Ling Chunann turned and saw Duan Chengyuan coming upstairs. She was then lifted off the ground by him, and she kissed his neck with both hands around his neck, "Want to find Daddy."

Duan Chengyuan melted, his face unable to hide the smile, even the look at the little girl next to him softened.

However, the moment Duan Chengyuan looked over, Xiao Yuanlang was startled and took two steps back.

"Linyin, it's time to go home," a voice came from downstairs.

Xiao Yuanlang felt like she had received a pardon, "Goodbye, Uncle, goodbye, little brother!"

"Why did she run away?" Ling Chunann asked, watching the little girl stumbling away.

"Maybe she was in a hurry to get home," Duan Chengyuan explained, carrying Ling Chunann back to the room. "Are you hungry, darling?"

Ling Chunann immediately dismissed the little girl from her mind.

For a long time after that, Ling Chunann didn't see Xiao Yuanlang again until one day when she went downstairs and saw the little girl sitting properly at the dining table.

Seeing Ling Chunann, the girl waved excitedly, "Little brother!"

"Why add 'little' in front if she just calls me 'brother'?" Ling Chunann was somewhat dissatisfied with this address.

098 commented, "Because you are indeed quite small."

"..." Ling Chunann decided to ignore her and slowly walked to her seat, waiting for Duan Chengyuan to come back.

Seemingly oblivious to Ling Chunann's coldness, Xiao Yuanlang, with a smiling face, approached her, "My mom and dad have something to do, so they sent me to Uncle's house for a few days. Little brother, are you Uncle's child? I saw you calling him Dad last time."

"Little brother, what's your name?"

"Duan Yuanlang." Ling Chunann wasn't quite satisfied with her addressing him as 'little brother.'

"Our names are similar, Yuanlang little brother." Happy to find this commonality, Xiao Yuanlang continued, "What grade are you in now?"

"I don't go to school. I have a private tutor," Ling Chunann answered, then turned to Xiao Yuanlang, "Is school fun?"

"There are many friends in school. I love going to school the most." The little girl then began to chatter about her schoolmates and various interesting incidents at school.

When Duan Chengyuan entered the dining room, he saw his precious one looking fascinated. He couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache, reached out to lift Ling Chunann, "Darling, do you want to go to school?"

Ling Chunann moved to sit obediently on the man's thigh, "I want to be with Daddy."

The little girl, left on the side, looked at her terrifying uncle with a smile on her face. Her little brother was amazing!

In the following days, Xiao Yuanlang followed Ling Chunann like a little tail. She even discovered the height measurement device that Ling Chunann had thrown in the corner of the guest room. After measuring herself and realizing she grew three centimeters, she excitedly found Ling Chunann, "Yuanlang little brother, I've grown taller by three centimeters!"

Ling Chunann: "..."

098: "..."

This little girl knows how to hit where it hurts. Not only that, but she also tried to persuade Ling Chunann to measure his height. Ling Chunann, being small and weak, especially with the attribute of being delicate and fragile, couldn't escape the girl's grip.

"098, she's bullying me." Ling Chunann complained as the little girl dragged her away. "I'm going to tell Daddy!"

For this suddenly childish host, 098 was surprisingly speechless.

As if hearing Ling Chunann's call, Duan Chengyuan happened to come out of the study. His gaze fell on the intertwined hands of the two, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yuanlang instinctively let go of Ling Chunann's hand, her face turning pale with fear. Clearly frightened to the extreme, under Duan Chengyuan's gaze, she couldn't help but step back and ended up crying.

Ling Chunann suddenly spoke, "Daddy, I want to measure my height. Sister will take me."

The man, who was cold just now, instantly softened. He bent down, picked up Ling Chunann from the ground, and blinked at the little girl behind him, who suddenly burst into tears.

"Baby, what are you looking at?" The man's tone was a bit sour. "Does baby like the sister and not Daddy?"

"No, I like Daddy the most."

Watching the man's eyebrows and eyes light up instantly, Ling Chunann couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. After so many years, he still enjoys this move.

"Baby, look, have you grown taller?" Carefully placing the child in front of the height measurer, Duan Chengyuan's voice was somewhat cheerful. "You've grown one centimeter!"

Ling Chunann, who originally didn't bother to pay attention, suddenly lifted her head at the words, eyes widening as she stared at the numbers on the screen. For a while, she couldn't believe it, "098, what's going on?"

098, equally astonished, replied, "I-I don't know, maybe the measuring device is broken?" But this was clearly impossible; the device was the latest intelligent instrument specially selected by Duan Chengyuan for Ling Chunann and couldn't have malfunctioned so quickly.

In other words, Ling Chunann did grow taller!

"Darling, are you upset?" Duan Chengyuan's voice carried a smile, "Although it's just one centimeter, baby will grow even taller in the future."

"Happy," Ling Chunann hugged Duan Chengyuan's neck, kissed him on the face, "I want to tell my sister!"

"..."

Watching the little one leaving and running out, Duan Chengyuan's face darkened instantly.

The next day, the Xiao couple came to take Xiao Yuanlang away. For over four years afterward, Ling Chunann did not see her again. However, Ling Chunann was genuinely growing taller every day. Though slower than most teenagers, he finally shook off the appearance of a small bean sprout.

With the increase in height, his only regret was not being able to be carried by Duan Chengyuan anytime, anywhere.

"Dad, I want to go to school." Ling Chunann pushed open the study door and said to the man at the desk.

"Hmm?" Duan Chengyuan looked up. Over the past few years, the man's appearance had matured, and his aura had become even more formidable, but it softened only in front of Ling Chunann, "Why does baby want to go to school?"

Ling Chunann took a few steps forward, walked to the man, skillfully climbed into his arms, and sat down, wrapping his arms around his neck, "You're busy every day, and I'm bored at home alone."

"What about Uncle Chi Feng?"

"He's not fun either." Ling Chunann rubbed against the man's chest and said again, "Dad, I want to go to school!"

After ten years of being a silly dad, the man finally couldn't bear to refuse his precious one's request. He swiftly arranged the enrollment procedures according to Ling Chunann's request.

"Why middle school?" Ling Chunann looked at the admission notice; he clearly said he was going to high school.

"Baby is too small; you'll be bullied in high school. Dad will worry." Duan Chengyuan said so.

"I'm sixteen." Ling Chunann was about to continue arguing when he suddenly heard a muffled laugh beside him. He glared sideways, "No laughing!"

Chi Feng quickly covered his mouth, "Sorry, Young Master, cough, I have something to do, I'll leave first." After saying that, he quickly turned and left.

Actually, it's not his fault for laughing. It's just that Ling Chunann's current appearance, saying he's twelve wouldn't raise suspicions. If you say sixteen, it's just too unbelievable.

In the end, Ling Chunann was reluctantly escorted to school by Duan Chengyuan. The principal and teachers lined up at the school gate, respectfully welcoming them in.

"Master Duan, rest assured, we will take good care of Young Master Duan." The principal was eager to please the new school director.

After giving some simple instructions to them, Duan Chengyuan turned to look at Ling Chunann, who had no expression, with some expectation in his eyes, "If baby doesn't like school, come back with Dad."

Knowing the man was serious, Ling Chunann shook his head and said, "I really like it here."

Seeing off the reluctant man, Ling Chunann followed the teacher into the classroom. The teacher clapped his hands, and the students who were studying seriously all raised their heads. "Classmates, this is our new classmate, named Duan Yuanlang. Let's get along well in the future."

Ling Chunann timely showed a smile to everyone, "Hello, I'm Duan Yuanlang."

His eyes were large, and when he smiled, he had two shallow dimples on his face, corresponding to two small tiger teeth, making him look especially cute.

"So cute," a girl in the class couldn't help but exclaim softly.

This was the third year of junior high school, and most of the boys and girls had gone through a growth spurt. Ling Chunann, this elementary school student, was even shorter than the shortest girl in the class by several centimeters. No wonder everyone found him cute rather than handsome.

Ling Chunann was assigned to the front of the classroom. Next to him was a handsome and arrogant young man who seemed to look down on everyone. When Ling Chunann looked at him, the young man snorted and turned his head.

"What's your name?" Pretending not to notice the young man's coldness, Ling Chunann asked.

The young man suddenly turned back, a fierce expression on his face, "What's it to you?"

Ling Chunann seemed to be frightened, blinked his eyes, then looked somewhat at a loss at the new book spread out on the desk, "Uh, sorry."

"Yuan Chengyue."

At this moment, the young man's dry voice sounded in Ling Chunann's ear. Ling Chunann turned to look at him, smiled broadly, "Hello, I'm Duan Yuanlang."

Yuan Chengyue's gaze paused on Ling Chunann's face, then snorted again, turned his head directly, and leaned on the desk.

"Host, his ears turned red." 098 pointed out.

"This Young Master Yuan from the Yuan family isn't as hateful as in the plot." Ling Chunann said, "He's really cute."

Looking at the host who was staring at the male supporting role in a daze, 098 couldn't help but feel a little worried. Was the host going to fall for someone else? The silly dad would be heartbroken.

Seemingly aware of Ling Chunann's gaze, Yuan Chengyue raised his head with impatience, "What are you looking at?"
