"The moon is crescent, the mother laughs, and the children who don't come home lose their heads."
"The sun is shining, the sun is shining early, and Mr. Rabbit is running around."
A little girl wearing a red puffy princess dress was sitting on the sofa humming nursery rhymes.
The delicate lambskin boots clicked on the wooden floor to the tune of nursery rhymes.
The girl has a delicate appearance, like a doll, with big eyes taking up half of her face.
At this moment, she was blinking and looking at Xi Yu and the four people sitting opposite her.
After a long time, she raised her finger and pointed at Xi Yu, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved, revealing a sweet smile.
"You will be dad from now on."
"..."
The girl laughed twice and pointed at Gu Qiao again.
"You are the big sister!"
"Then you are the second sister! You are the little brother!"
Qin He and Li Shu on both sides of the sofa were not spared.
"how about you?"
"Me?" The girl smiled happily, pointing at Xi Yu and then at herself.
"You are the father, then of course I am the mother!"
With a "click", the lambskin boots fell to the ground, and the little girl happily ran around the living room holding the rabbit doll in her arms.
The sound of boots on the floor was constant.
After a long time, he slowly stopped in front of everyone and announced:
"The time has come, so now, mommy is going to start cooking!"
Xi Yu glanced at the girl who was standing taller than she was sitting, and then looked at the height of the open kitchen not far away.
I endured it, but I couldn’t hold it back.
Looking at Xi Yu who suddenly stood up, the little girl was full of doubts:
"Why did Dad stand up?"
"Because I have to cook."
Xi Yu said calmly with a cold face, and then walked towards the kitchen.
Gu Qiao secretly thought something was wrong and reached out to grab it, but missed it.
He had long heard that Xi Yu had his own way in ghost stories, but he never cared.
After all, he is a master, there is always something special.
But this is so special!
When I first entered the ghost story, even before the rules were announced, I started rushing to help this doll, who didn’t know whether it was a human or a ghost, cook.
Is this cooking?
What is the difference between this and committing suicide? !
Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Qiao saw the girl's face darken and she ran in front of Xi Yu, blocking her steps.
"No! You are the father! Mom has to do the cooking!"
The girl stared, looking very angry.
His already big eyes seemed like they were about to fall out of their sockets.
Xi Yu looked into these eyes for a few seconds and then waved her hands and returned to the sofa.
"Be careful, the rules haven't been announced yet."
Gu Qiao secretly poked Xi Yu's lower back as a reminder.
"It has been announced."
"..."
Gu Qiao was not a fool, and his face darkened two degrees after being reminded.
"Okay, now, the eldest sister and the second sister should cook together with mom!"
The girl said, clapping her hands happily.
Gu Qiao and Qin He looked at each other and followed the girl to the kitchen.
For a while, only Xi Yu and two people were left in the living room.
"Long time no see." Li Shu took the lead in saying hello.
"You too, did you see it?"
"Pay attention."
As if they were playing a charade, the two of them turned their attention back to the open kitchen in the distance.
The three of them really seemed like a family.
The girl stepped on a small stool and stood in front of the pot, while Gu and Qiao helped with the cooking.
The hour hand pointed to 19:30, and the girl jumped to the restaurant carrying a huge pot.
The pot looked half as big as her, but it seemed weightless in her hand.
"It's time to eat!——"
The little girl sat at the table and watched with joy as Xi Yu and the other four sat down.
The pot lid is opened.
Tomato Beef Brisket Soup.
The thick fragrance floats in the air, which is mouth-watering.
If you ignore the floating finger, Xi Yu will consider tasting it.
"Why don't you eat it? Do you not like this, or do you not want to eat what mom makes?"
The girl's tone was calm, but the corners of her mouth twitched, and her neck made a "click" sound when she twisted it, as if it would fall off her neck in the next second.
"If you don't like eating this, don't do it again."
Four eyes shot towards Xi Yu.
The girl's neck no longer twisted, and the corners of her mouth no longer twitched. She smiled, her eyebrows arched, and she looked like a cute child again.
"Listen to dad and don't do this anymore."
"Now, I have to help the children with their homework, and you should clean up the room."
"...Okay, then everyone must work hard."
It was obvious that she disliked this aspect very much, but she didn't say anything. She squeezed out a stiff smile from the corner of her mouth and went to the kitchen with a pot of soup.
The house is very large, a typical two-story villa.
The first floor was the living room and kitchen. Apart from that, Xi Yu didn't see a study-like room.
Letting out tour guide 04 to lead the way, the four of them easily entered the study room on the second floor.
After closing the door, Qin He relaxed and collapsed on the chair in the room.
"What's going on now? Playing house with this kid?"
"Probably, not violating the character setting should be the rules of this weird story."
As Li Shu spoke, he looked at the bookshelf in the room, taking out books and flipping through them.
There was only one desk in the room, so Xi Yu quickly pulled out the drawer and placed all the contents on the table.
Gu Qiao's interest was aroused. He put down the book in his hand and moved closer to inspect the debris on the table.
Lighters, half-smoked cigarettes, messy magazines and scratched lottery tickets.
There are all kinds of things, but none of them are valuable.
"Dong dong dong——"
There was a knock on the door of the room, and the next second, the girl's head slid into the room along the crack of the door.
"What are dad and the kids doing?"
"Work and study."
Xi Yu swept all the debris on the table into the drawer with an expressionless expression.
"That's it."
The girl was a little disappointed, but then she smiled again:
"Well, would you like some after-dinner refreshments?"
As he spoke, a plate of delicate cakes accompanied by a few glasses of brown juice came through the crack of the door.
A head on top and a plate of food on the bottom.
Looks funny and weird.
"No," Xi Yu raised her hand to refuse: "Mom, please don't come in again. It will disturb our work. You should go to skin care now and then go to bed."
"Okay, you guys are busy, I'm going to bed."
The girl looked very lonely and was about to close the door and leave when she was stopped by Xi Yu again.
"I was given the keys to the children's rooms and as a father I felt it was my duty to watch them return to their rooms after teaching them their studies."
"But, their room is right next to ours."
The girl pouted, very unhappy.
"knew."
"So where's the key?"
Like an unreasonable bandit, Xi Yu chased after him and got the key, then urged Gu Qiao to close the door of the room.
"The children must get enough sleep, and dad must remember to send the children back to their rooms before nine o'clock."
The girl's voice drifted in from outside the door.
Xi Yu didn't reply, and waited for a long time before the sound of boots hitting the floor could be heard outside the door.
As the voice faded away, Li Shu opened his palms and unfolded the note found in the book pages in front of everyone.
