-91- Love, it's something easy to recognize

In the second-floor living room of Zoran's store, Linwin and Kai'Sa sat together, facing the now calmer old Zoran.

Zoran served two bowls of instant noodles and placed them on the table. Linwin didn't eat; he wasn't hungry. On the other hand, Kai'Sa, who had eaten a lot at Jayce's place earlier, eagerly slurped the noodles.

"Eat up, huh? Ya brat, why aren't you eating?" Zoran looked at Linwin, who was staring at him, got up, and gave a forceful pat on Linwin's head. Then he exclaimed, "It's late, what else do you want to eat? Just make do with the noodles. Eating noodles is a delightful thing, you know?"

"I'm not hungry, and I think you have something on your mind," Linwin pushed away the noodles. 

Beside him, Kai'Sa's eyes immediately lit up. 

However, she remembered what Linwin had told her – to speak less. So she continued eating her own noodles, occasionally glancing at Linwin's untouched bowl. 

One bowl of noodles, how much is it? 

With this small bowl, Kai'Sa could eat ten! She's a super-eater! As for Linwin, he had noticed that the old man's gaze had been strange since earlier, observing Kai'Sa from head to toe with a puzzled yet appreciative expression. What's the matter with old Zoran?

By the way, Kai'Sa's purple skin, in old Zoran's eyes, wasn't a big deal. Although her skin was purple and looked like a layer of armor, she was, after all, a girl—a very beautiful girl. In the ghostly place of Zaun, where people have mechanical hands, mechanical arms, mechanical legs, and even bodies entirely replaced by machinery, leaving only the brain, peculiar things are quite common. Due to constant pollution from waste gas and sewage, some children even appear as monsters from birth. Therefore, Zoran didn't mind Kai'Sa's purple skin.

Linwin pulled Zoran aside and whispered, "Her name is Kai'Sa, and I brought her from Shurima. Her situation is quite special. She's alone, so she'll be staying with us from now on."

Old Zoran nodded, watching Kai'Sa eating noodles. The more he looked, the more he liked her. Being able to eat is a blessing.

As if reminded of something, Zoran coughed, signaling Kai'Sa to continue eating. Then, he grabbed Linwin and pulled him aside near the stairs. In a hushed tone, Zoran asked, "What are you implying now?"

"What do you mean by 'implying'?" Linwin was momentarily puzzled, tilting his head in confusion.

Zoran first glanced at Kai'Sa, who was eating in front of him, and then said to Linwin, "Except for those two girls who used to follow you around, this is the first time you've brought a girl home."

"Is she...?"

"Is she what?"

Zoran chuckled and raised his eyebrows.

Linwin, looking at the lecherous Zoran, was speechless.

He understood what Zoran meant, but Kai'Sa didn't.

"Come on, tell me, is it? If so, I need to get prepared," Zoran insisted.

"What are you thinking? I'm just friends with her. It's not like... Do you mean you want to prepare a dowry or something?" Linwin looked at Zoran in disbelief.

Zoran smacked his lips, "You're already in your twenties, and you're doing such dangerous things. If anything happens to you, who will take care of me in my old age? So, prepare to bring a little Linwin back for me."

"You've got to be kidding me!" Linwin stared at Zoran in disbelief. "If there were a little Linwin, and I was gone, you think he'd take care of you for how many years?"

"That's fine, I'll take care of him. So, when are you bringing me a little Linwin?" Zoran opened his mouth, saying it seriously.

Linwin was left speechless, thinking, "You, old man!"

Living a good life makes people unstable, huh?

Linwin felt extremely helpless, looking at Zoran, and said, "Hold on, I heard the meaning in your words earlier. Kai'Sa, let's put that aside for now. I'm curious if you used to look at Vi and Powder the same way."

Linwin suddenly realized that Zoran was acting strange.

"What else? I didn't let you interact with Vander or play with his kids. But you kept going to his tavern. Wasn't it because of those two girls?" Zoran initially said it disdainfully but then chuckled, saying, "But you have a good eye, brat. Those two girls are now exceptionally beautiful, especially the younger one. In the past, she had a bit of buck teeth, but now she has grown to be quite beautiful."

"Buck teeth? Are you talking about Powder?"

Talking about Powder's childhood, she indeed had some protruding teeth during her tooth replacement phase. She had a habit of licking, causing her teeth to grow unevenly. After Linwin scolded her a few times, she became more obedient.

Once she got her permanent teeth, they became straight.

Powder wasn't a buck-toothed girl at all!

How adorable! Who cares about buck teeth?

"Anyway, don't overthink it. She and I are just friends," Linwin insisted. Zoran still wanted to say something, but Linwin had already returned.

When Linwin returned, he noticed his bowl was empty, with some soup left. He looked at Kai'Sa, who was using her arm to shield her bowl, trying to prevent Linwin from seeing.

Even so, Linwin saw it—Kai'Sa's now filled bowl.

"You..."

Kai'Sa immediately said, "Didn't you say you weren't eating?"

"When did I say I'm not eating?"

"I saw you leave."

"Forget it. Eat, eat." Linwin sighed and sat down next to her.

This was the reality of having money. Otherwise, he really couldn't afford it. Kai'Sa was just too good at eating.

Being able to eat was not the only issue; the problem was she enjoyed eating.

After Kai'Sa finished two bowls of noodles and went to brush her teeth with the toothpaste and toothbrush Linwin gave her, Zoran also came out of his room.

"The bed is made." Zoran, holding a cup of tea, sat in front of Linwin.

"Is it a soft bed?"

"When are you going to sleep in that thing again?"

"It's not me; it's her."

"I don't have that kind of thing here, but adding some extra padding should be soft enough."

"Is the bed big enough?"

"What do you mean? Do you want to sleep with her?"

Linwin was speechless. "No, Zoran, what's wrong with you now?" Linwin looked at the disrespectful old man and said, "It's her who wants to sleep in a big and soft bed because she has never slept in one before. So, I promised to let her sleep in a good, big bed. Understand?"

"Understood."

Zoran nodded and then said, "Big enough, it's a bed that's a meter and a half wide, quite big, right?"

Linwin nodded. "Got it."

In the midst of the conversation, Linwin asked, "By the way, where does Powder live now?"

"That girl is living in the middle layer of the city," Zoran replied after taking a sip of tea. Then he added, "By the way, brat, what are your plans?"

"What plans?"

"Powder and Vi, I can tell, the younger one is easily jealous."

"They're both my sisters, Zoran."

Linwin was genuinely annoyed.

He didn't want to continue the conversation with Zoran.

Seeing Linwin heading towards his room, Zoran clicked his tongue.

Then he muttered, "I don't know about the older one, but the younger one doesn't see you as a real brother, you brat, you might be in for it tomorrow."

After guiding Kai'Sa to her dedicated room, Zoran finally returned to his own room.

Sitting on the bed, Zoran grinned.

His son was back.

And he brought a beautiful girl, albeit a bit peculiar. Zoran could accept that.

But... thinking about what would happen to Linwin tomorrow, Zoran couldn't help but chuckle.

Love, it's something easy to recognize.

The girl with blue hair likes him.

Yes, Powder likes Linwin.
