Chapter 72 Bullying a Child
Mu Yuan was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at Huo Min questioningly: "Who is he?"
At this time, the little boy had already jumped onto Huo Min's waist like a monkey.
The next second he grabbed her collar and pulled her out, feeling annoyed and helpless: "This is my cousin Guangguang."
It was the first time that Mu Yuan saw Huo Min's reaction like this.
Very strange.
Mu Yuan turned around and met Guangguang, who was held in the air but was smiling even more excitedly. His first impression of this child was: naughty.
She said in a clear voice, "Put him down first."
It's not a good idea to carry the child like this all the time.
Huo Min just put the person down.
Before he could even stand on his heels, he pointed the transformation device at her and said, "Female monster, tell me your name! Who are you?"
It was the first time in her life that Mu Yuan was called a female monster, and she choked.
Huo Min had already scolded him: "Shut up."
Guang Guang was unconvinced: "The mouth was born to be used, why should I shut up?! I won't!"
Huo Min's face suddenly darkened, and he was about to speak up to deal with him.
Mu Yuan beside him suddenly said, "The Ultraman clothes you are wearing are fake."
Guangguang was visibly stunned for a moment, then raised his chin in dissatisfaction: "This is not fake! This is what my father bought for me from abroad!"
Mu Yuan shook her head, emphasizing each word and raising her lips slightly: "Fake."
Guangguang still didn't believe it: "You're talking nonsense!"
Mu Yuan had an innocent face and made up a story that made sense: "I'm not talking nonsense. Then tell me, can you fly?"
Guangguang hesitated for a few seconds and pouted: "I can't!"
Mu Yuan spread her hands: "Look, I told you what you're wearing is fake, because other kids wearing the authentic ones can fly, but you can't, so what you're wearing is fake, I can tell at a glance!"
Huo Min, who witnessed the whole process, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Mu Yuan who was deceiving the children with an indulgent look.
The next second, Mu Yuan forcibly dragged him into the liar camp.
Mu Yuan: "If you don't believe me, ask your uncle. He has seen children wearing genuine Ultraman clothes flying in the sky."
Compared to Mu Yuan, Guangguang obviously trusts Huo Min more.
At this moment, he was staring at Huo Min with his eyes wide open, feeling both expectant and nervous.
As soon as Huo Min opened his thin lips, he received Mu Yuanran's warning gaze.
Immediately, he announced the most tragic result with a deadpan expression: "Yes, what you are wearing is fake."
Guangguang's mouth is so long that an egg can fit in it.
A naive and gullible five-year-old boy, at this moment, broke through the defense.
That's not enough.
Mu Yuan even held Huo Min's arm.
Caught off guard, Huo Min's black pupils froze when his arm touched her, and then narrowed, staring deeply at her who was approaching him.
Seeing her blatantly bullying a child: "Let's go! We won't talk to a kid wearing a fake Ultraman costume!"
Huo Min pursed his lips a little, barely suppressing his smile.
Before she could even pull him out half a meter, the already timid Mu Yuan raised her eyes and asked in a low voice, "If his parents blame me later, you have to help me explain."
After she finished speaking, fearing that he would regret it, she narrowed her eyes and warned: "You are an accomplice."
Huo Min couldn't help laughing and whispered, imitating her: "Are you scared now?"
Mu Yuan glared at him and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Didn't you hear him call me a female monster just now? How do I look like a female monster?! I was just giving him a little fight back."
Huo Min's dark eyes curved slightly: "No, you are prettier than the female monster."
As soon as he finished speaking, she nudged him lightly with her elbow.
Huo Min's smile deepened: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you, no one will dare to blame you."
Her original intention was just to drag everyone into this together and get criticized...
But the way he spoke made it sound as if she was desperately seeking his protection.
The artistic conception is different, and the context has become more ambiguous and sticky.
Mu Yuan loosened her grip on his hand as if it were burning, and averted her gaze with a palpitation: "You, go and look after him. It's not appropriate for a child to be alone by the river. It's very dangerous."
Unexpectedly, his rough fingertips rubbed her forearm, extended down, and grasped her wrist.
Mu Yuan raised her eyes in surprise.
I gave him a deep and faint smile: "It's not suitable for adults either."
Mu Yuan's eyes flickered like a swaying candle flame.
Get on the return sightseeing bus.
Guangguang was already wilted and collapsed on the car seat like a pile of mud, with a look of despair and hopelessness.
Until we reached the entrance to the dining area.
Seeing Zhao Keqiong who had just come out to see if they had returned, Guangguang started to howl in grievance and rushed forward like a suckling pig escaping from a coil: "Woo! Cousin!"
Zhao Keqiong hurriedly caught him: "Oh, what happened to our little devil?"
When Mu Yuan saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
As soon as he got off the car, he hid behind Huo Min, half-hidden and half-exposed.
Seeing this, Huo Min said with a smile, "What are you afraid of?"
Mu Yuan felt as ashamed now as she had lied so naturally just now.
There is no need to argue with children.
But she still said stubbornly: "I'm not afraid."
Huo Min curled his lips: "Then don't hide behind me."
Mu Yuan: ...
Biting her lip, she reminded him again, "You're also an accomplice!"
Huo Min laughed.
Guang Guang howled and pointed in their direction: "She said my Ultraman costume is fake!"
Zhao Keqiong looked in the direction of his finger in confusion and met Huo Min's indifferent expression.
His cold face showed a carefree expression, as if he was too lazy to explain: "It is indeed fake."
Zhao Keqiong immediately scolded silently.
The lip movements probably mean: You are crazy, bullying children!
Mu Yuan saw it clearly: ...
Having your mouth faster than your brain is not necessarily a good thing.
Zhao Keqiong was still busy comforting Guangguang.
Huo Min interrupted her: "Xi Tao is not here?"
Zhao Keqiong tilted her chin towards the restaurant and gestured, "I received a call from a patient right after arriving. I'm still inside providing psychological counseling."
Sensing the gaze, Huo Min glanced sideways.
Mu Yuan's almond-shaped eyes lit up with curiosity.
His eyes curved slightly as he explained, "Zhao Xitao is my uncle's son, Guangguang's father."
Mu Yuan understood and discovered something, wondering: "Isn't Guangguang's mother here?"
Just now, Guangguang came to see them alone, and there was no other adult around him. It was a bit strange for someone of his age to be without an adult.
Huo Min lowered his eyes, and his gaze on her inexplicably deepened: "Divorced."
Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned again to Guangguang, who had been comforted by Zhao Keqiong and gradually calmed down.
The guilt in my heart reached its peak.
She pinched her lower lip nervously, her eyes filled with anxiety: "Did I go too far just now?"
"Don't worry, he's still young and will forget everything after a good sleep." Huo Min pursed his lips and chuckled, comforting him in a gentle voice.
Mu Yuan was speechless, this was his cousin.
Zhao Keqiong touched his bald head and shouted to Mu Yuan with a smile: "Yuanyuan, I just saw the fish you caught. It's so big! You are really amazing."
When her name was called, Mu Yuan had no choice but to take a step to the side and completely get away from Huo Min's back.
She glanced at Guangguang who was glaring at her and said awkwardly: "Haha... I'm lucky today, thank you, Mom."
Zhao Keqiong lowered her head again to coax the child: "There will be big fish to eat later."
Guangguang snorted and pushed Zhao Keqiong's hand away: "I hate eating fish! I want to catch grasshoppers!"
Mu Yuan was worried that she wouldn't have the chance to apologize, but when she heard the word 'catch grasshoppers', her almond-shaped eyes lit up: "I'll catch grasshoppers first!"
Huo Min, who was standing beside him, said in a deep voice, "No."
Mu Yuan looked at him in surprise, and saw that his expression was particularly serious, as if she was about to get into trouble.
She was puzzled. He was just catching grasshoppers, so why did he look like that?
