I'm so obsessed with the little group of rascals that's gathered in the La clan villa as of LN16. At the start, we had former orphans Sifan, Wufan, and Liufan with a sort of miniature three musketeers dynamic, and Sanfan is overseeing them as a diligent and loyal servant (who might be a little insane, or at least unhealthily obsessed with Lahan and adversarial with Yao, but otherwise normal). And then the young Kan Junjie joins the gang in LN13 solely due to a name mixup with Lahan's Brother, but LN16 shows us he's been getting along with the kids. Then finally in LN16, Zhizi joins the party following the cursed jar incident! After Yao nurses her to health and Zhizi gets to be her vibrant young self again, Sanfan notes that Sifan and the kids play with her all the time. So now we got a group of five wonderful kids in the La clan villa having fun in between their duties.
And on top of all of that, both Kan Junjie and Zhizi are attached to Lahan's Brother, so in my mind, Lahan's Brother is like an honorary dad/nanny to this group of rascals. Him in addition to Sanfan, who was even making arrangements for Zhizi's education. And even though the kids all look at Yao and En'en a little oddly, the two girls at least try to have good relations with them, so there's two more that's slightly attached to the party (even if they gotta go soon).
I really hope we get to see more of the La clan kids, the atmosphere of the La clan villa in LN16 was so warm and comedic (also love the part where Lakan gathers everyone in the house plus a bunch of randos to save Maomao, too). Such a small part of the volume, relatively speaking, but I love it dearly 💚
