The wind howled, and the khaki rock steps stretched into threads in Zheng Yuan's eyes. An emergency stop left a footprint on the hard steps, and Zheng Yuan let out a long breath.
"Coming!"
Standing on his feet and looking at the top of the mountain, Zheng Yuan seemed to see Xiaomei sulking, Melk sitting boldly, Boqizi hanging upside down on the wooden pole, and Yiyi being pulled by Xiaomei. When he thought of this, Zheng Yuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. .
...
"Tap tap tap!"
Solid and steady footsteps sounded behind him, and the big tail held in his hand trembled twice, followed by the roar of a hundred million and the low roar of Bochiko.
"I'm home!"
"I'm back."
The familiar voice of questions and answers made Xiaomei almost unable to help but look up. Her face buried in her arms was filled with joy, and the corners of her mouth rose. But then she felt a sense of grievance, and tears filled her eyes and wet her sleeves.
"Who is this little awkward person? Where is my lovely sister Xiaomei?"
A familiar voice rang in her ears, Xiaomei chuckled, and then turned away from Zheng Yuan.
Looking at the big lump in front of him without looking at himself, Zheng Yuan felt dizzy. Who did he learn from this awkwardness?
"Hmph!<(`^´)>"
A low hum came through, looking at Xiaomei and Zheng Yuan who didn't want to show their head.
"Ha ha."
Looking at the two people in front of him, Melk couldn't help but laugh. Although the laughter was very small, with the help of the loudspeaker, it was still clearly transmitted to Xiaomei's ears, so Xiaomei shrank tighter.
"You little brat, how dare you not look at me!"
Anger arose in his heart and evil grew in his courage. Zheng Yuan stretched out his sinful hands to Xiaomei's armpits, then clamped them and picked up Xiaomei with her back to him.
Xiaomei, who was waiting for Zheng Yuan to comfort her, changed her vision before she could figure out the situation. Her field of vision became broader, and her hands were held up very steadily.
Looking at Melk, who was innocently spreading his hands in front of him, Xiaomei was confused for a while. Yiyi didn't have hands, and Boqizi's hands were obviously bigger than this. So whose hands did they belong to?
Before he could find out the answer, his eyes turned again, and the face that he had been thinking about suddenly appeared in front of him.
The eyes were slightly bent, the red pupils were full of smiles, and the corners of the mouth were raised with the joy and laziness of returning to the comfort zone.
"Hmph! Don't think that I..."
Just when Xiaomei turned her head and squinted to say something, her eyes moved down and saw Zheng Yuan's intact hands, and then she fell silent.
"I've wanted to do this for a long time."
Dragging Xiaomei with both hands, he lifted her up high. His dream in his previous life was to have a daughter and lift her up every day. Then he never even touched a girl's hand. Unexpectedly, this wish came true unexpectedly today.
"Brother, your hands, hands..."
Xiaomei spoke incoherently, turning to look at Melk, wanting to ask for proof.
"Why do you think I haven't come back for more than a year? I told you I would give you a surprise."
Changing Xiaomei's position, holding her like a child, holding the back of her head, Zheng Yuan spoke softly.
"I'm just... unhappy... that it took me so long to come back!"
Xiaomei spoke intermittently with tears in her eyes, and gently hit Zheng Yuan's back with her hand.
"Okay, don't cry anymore. I'll prepare delicious food for you tonight, okay?"
Zheng Yuan said softly.
"I'm here, no grabbing."
...
"Ouch! (Boss, you don't even take me with you! You smell so exciting!)"
One hundred million moved up and down in a room that was too small for him, but didn't touch a single thing.
"You will be bored if you stay with me. I'm basically learning acupuncture there, and I won't leave the door without taking another step!"
Touching Yiyi's slightly warm nose, Zheng Yuan said helplessly.
"Ouch! (Sister Xiaomei is not happy after you leave. She pulls my hair every day. You can see that I'm even bald!)"
Yiyi growled softly and turned around to show Zheng Yuan its butt. Sure enough, there was a small area with sparse hair, a bit like the head of a middle-aged man who was about to go bald.
"One hundred million!"
Xiaomei came out of nowhere, wearing an apron, with a little rice flour on her hands, and kicked Qiuyi with a red face.
"Ouch! (Boss, look!)"
With a wail, Yiyi let out a wail that had never been reached before his body was penetrated by fangs. It was all emotion and no acting skills.
"You! (* ̄m ̄)"
Xiaomei was so angry that she stretched out her hand and pinched the 100 million, with white hair on one hand.
"Ouch! (It hurts so much, boss, save me!)"
One hundred million continued to play with treasures and fool around with Xiaomei. Zheng Yuan watched with a smile, and a slight smell of paste came unknowingly.
"......ah!"
Xiaomei stopped plucking 100 million's hair, froze for a second, then screamed, abandoned 100 million and ran back to the kitchen.
"(๑ŐдŐ)b"
"d(ŐдŐ๑)"
Looking at each other, Zheng Yuan looked at Yiyi speechlessly.
"You must have smelled it. You eat the paste."
Lifting 100 Million's big ears, Zheng Yuan said helplessly.
"QAQ!"
...
"Xiaomei's cooking skills have improved, it tastes so good!"
Looking at the dishes with a system evaluation completion score of 69%, Zheng Yuan admired that the main dishes of ordinary five-star gourmet restaurants are usually of this level.
"Xiaomei usually practices cooking skills besides forging knives. Xiaomei is a genius!"
Melk took a big bite of seafood fried rice and squinted his eyes in admiration.
"Ouch!"
Eating a little mushy fried rice, 100 million looked sad.
Boqizi, who was sitting aside, glanced at 100 million, then patted 100 million on the back, and poured half of his fried rice to 100 million under the confused look of 100 million.
"Ouch! QAQ"
A hundred million people were moved to tears, and rubbed their heads hard against Pochizi.
"Hahaha."
Under the warm yellow light, Zheng Yuan held Melk's shoulders and leaned forward and laughed, while Xiao Mei also covered her mouth and smiled.
...
The second day.
Climbing up from the warm bed, he scratched his blown hair and stared blankly at the sun outside the window.
"Hmm~"
Stretching out comfortably, Zheng Yuan moved his muscles and bones, and there was a crackling sound all over his body.
"Next...it's time to get down to business!"
The confused eyes suddenly became firm and sharp as a knife.
"But let's have breakfast first!"
With his nose twitching, Zheng Yuan smelled the strong aroma wafting from downstairs. It was a mixture of shrimp dumplings, barbecued pork buns and siu mai. It should be a special semi-finished convenience ingredient sold by IGO. It is simple, convenient and delicious to make, which aroused Zheng Yuan's greed. .
"I'm hungry. I'm hungry."
I ran downstairs without even having time to put on my shirt.
"Ah! Get me dressed!"
Xiaomei's scream echoed through the sky.
"The kid is still shy."
Zheng Yuan teased with a smile, then took a snow-white barbecued pork bun from the huge steamer that was still steaming and ate it, one bite at a time.
"Hmph! (*≧m≦*)"
"Children in the rebellious stage are really difficult to deal with."
Zheng Yuan muttered.
