The youth immediately froze there.
Gu Nuo’er did not notice anything.
The child stuck out her b.u.t.t and rummaged around in the corner for a long time.
She finally took out a broken sword wrapped in red cloth.
“Duanduan, so you’re here. I almost forgot about you!”
Gu Nuo’er turned around and realized that Ye Siming was sitting behind her. His expression was dark and his eyes were filled with slight resentment.
The child blinked in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
Ye Siming felt that he couldn’t explain it to her.
He simply raised her eyebrows and raised his chin. “What’s that?”
Gu Nuo’er smiled cutely and removed the red cloth.
“Tadah! Look!”
Ye Siming frowned slightly. “A broken sword?”
Gu Nuo’er handed the broken sword to Ye Siming.
The child said proudly, “Don’t underestimate it. Previously, it went to the battlefield with my grandfather many times and witnessed my grandfather’s grand achievements.
“If it were a human, it would probably be conferred the t.i.tle of a general too. Elder Brother Siming, what do you think of this sword?”
Ye Siming reached out to take it and sized it up quietly.
The sword was snapped very cleanly. Basically, more than half of the sword’s edge was gone.
However, the blood on it was mottled. It was not difficult to tell what kind of amazing weapon it was on the battlefield back then.
Ye Siming flicked the sword.
A crisp, deep, and cold sword clink could be heard.
“What a treasured sword.” Ye Siming’s thin lips moved slightly.
Gu Nuo’er could see admiration in his eyes.
Ye Siming said calmly, “After so many years, even though half of the sword is damaged, it can still make such a buzzing sound.”
As he spoke, Ye Siming felt the weak aura of this sword echoing.
The youth suddenly raised his sword in front of him and drew a beautiful arc.
Gu Nuo’er only saw white light rustling as if the aura of this sword back then was reproduced.
The child immediately applauded, a smile broke out on her fair face.
“I knew that Elder Brother Siming would definitely be the most suitable to be its owner!”
Ye Siming was stunned. “You want to give it to me? But you said that it’s your grandfather’s sword.”
Gu Nuo’er smiled sweetly. “That’s right, but my grandfather doesn’t fight anymore. He still has many sharp treasured swords by his side.
“I like this broken sword very much. I want to find a new owner for it. Elder Brother Siming, you’re very suitable.”
Ye Siming didn’t mind that this sword was broken.
To him, he didn’t need a weapon to kill.
To him, having a sword was nothing more than having a more suitable accessory.
However, the things Gu Nuo’er gave him were different.
He carefully touched the sword again.
After a moment, the youth said in a pleasant voice, “Thank you. I like it very much.”
Gu Nuo’er immediately smiled even happier. “Elder Brother Siming, let’s give it a name together.”
“What should we call it? Duanduan? Little Duan?”
Ye Siming shook his head. “They don’t sound good.”
The child rested her chin on her hand, her big eyes watery. “Then what good idea do you have?”
Ye Siming pondered for a moment.
He looked up and stared at Gu Nuo’er. “I once came across an idiom in a book—overnight?promise
“It means that the promise that is kept overnight will definitely be fulfilled.
“Can I call it Ye Nuo?”
When Ye Siming asked this, he looked at Gu Nuo’er extremely seriously.
There was a hint of antic.i.p.ation in his eyes.
Gu Nuo’er widened her watery eyes and praised him in admiration.
“Elder Brother Siming, you’ve studied a lot. You’re really amazing!”
“Ye Nuo, this name sounds really nice. Then this sword will be called Ye Nuo!”
The child poked the sword with her soft finger and giggled.
She didn’t notice the charming smile on the youth’s face at all.
