Qi Heng played...

Chapter 153

Chapter 153

"don't want!"

Xizi held his hand, shook his head and said, "Father Xiong, please don't leave. I want you to stay."

Qi Heng was helpless.

From the moment he heard that he was leaving, Xizi showed his reluctance, and finally hugged his thighs and acted coquettishly because he didn't want him to leave.

Qi Heng, who has always been very tolerant of his cubs, is naturally more indulgent towards his own cubs. It is this indulgence that has led to his current dilemma of being unable to advance or retreat.

Well, the main reason why it was difficult to refuse was that he knew that he was an incompetent "father". Apart from online contact, he had never taken care of Xizi, which made the little guy very suspicious whether his existence was unloved.

In addition, Chu Xiu was not with the little bug cub most of the time. To round it off, although the little bug cub had his parents around him, it was almost the same as having no parents...no different from a left-behind child.

Xizi held his arm tightly, as if afraid that he would run away if he was not careful.

"Father Xiong said he likes both Zizi and Father Female! The book says that family members should be together!" Xizi said loudly with red eyes, and pouted with some grievance: "But, but Father Xiong doesn't want to stay..."

Qi Heng's mouth twitched, and he was extremely glad that Chu Xiu was not here, otherwise it would seem strange if someone heard these words.

"Wow, father, don't you want to be with us?" Xizai didn't get a reply and cried anxiously.

"Xiongfu, hiccup, don't you want the cub anymore... Xiongfu is a liar, wuwuwu..."

Qi Heng was left speechless by Xizi. He sighed, squatted down, wiped away the tears of the little bug with his fingertips, and said, "When did I say I didn't want a child?"

Xizi sobbed and said, "Then father Xiong, will you...stay?"

Qi Heng heard the cautious expectation in the words, and seeing the little boy crying so sadly, he agreed without thinking.

"good."

As soon as he agreed, he thought to himself, "Oh no! Why did I speak so quickly?"

"Really?! I knew Father Xiong wouldn't lie to me." Xizi burst into laughter, hugged him and rubbed his chest hard a few times, his tears all wet his clothes.

"Wait..." Qi Heng wanted to change his words.

However, before he could finish his words, he heard the insect cub cheer and jump out, shouting as he ran: "I'm going to tell the female father this good news--"

He stood up, feeling a bit of a headache: "This is troublesome."

Although I had expected that Xizi would be reluctant to let me go when he knew I was leaving, I didn't expect that he would be so reluctant to let me go and would cry and beg to keep me.

Qi Heng stood up: [A0, this is all your fault.]

The little bug boy is so young, his messy thoughts are definitely not his own, he probably heard them from others.

There are only a few people Xizi can come into contact with, and it only takes a moment to figure out who led him astray.

A0, who was named, didn't dare to show up, but he also didn't dare not to show up.

[Your Excellency, please listen to my explanation.]

As an artificial intelligence that is infinitely close to intelligent creatures, A0 very rationally analyzed that the current situation of the Lord is not very good.

[Well, you explain and I'll listen.]

"I have done everything according to your instructions. You asked me to take care of the little prince and meet all his needs..."

Qi Heng walked out and caught up with Xizai who had run away.

He had no concerns about leaving the newly hatched cubs behind.

The cub sleeps for a long time every day, and when it is awake, it is taken care of by the guards arranged by Chu Xiu. It is safe here and nothing will happen to it.

[I asked you to play with him. I didn't say anything nonsense. I can teach him.]

Xizai is a very smart cub. This can be seen from the fact that he was able to communicate with Qi Lan while he was still in the insect egg. After hatching, his growth rate is even more unimaginable.

Even though he had only been out of the insect egg for a few months, with the bonus of his learning talent, he was almost no different from a five or six-year-old child on Earth... and children of this age are curious about everything.

It would be fine if no one could answer his questions or he couldn't understand, but he had the guidance of the super artificial intelligence A0.

Therefore, Xizi understood a little bit of everything he should and shouldn't know, and used these to "embarrass" his male and female fathers.

That’s right, it’s Qi Heng and Chu Xiu.

**

Chu Zheng was cleaning up the aftermath of hatching next door. He collected the broken eggshells and put them aside, preparing to put the eggshells next to the insect cubs later.

In his time, the fragments of insect eggs would usually be glued together as a souvenir, but under today's conditions, they can be used as a snack for grinding teeth after teeth grow out, and at the same time, they can also supplement some missing trace elements.

Because there was only a wall and no door, I could vaguely hear voices coming from next door while I was cleaning.

At first Chu Xiu didn't pay much attention until he heard a sound that sounded like crying.

What's going on?

Everything would be fine as long as His Majesty was there, but the crying made him a little worried, so he hesitated about whether to go over and take a look.

Before he could make a decision, the voices on the other end of the spectrum faded, and then the sound of Xizi running and shouting came from outside.

"Female father, female father, male father said he will stay with us tonight."

Xizi jumped and ran to Chu Xiu, circling around him happily, and said cheerfully: "I will eat and sleep with you, Zizi. Ah, I want Xiong Dad to tell me a bedtime story today..."

"I want to hear the adventure story of the little butterfly."

Chu Xiu was stunned by this string of words. After finally extracting the key information, he was still in disbelief. He reached out and grabbed the little bug that was running around beside him, "Xizi, is what you just said true? Is your father going to stay the night?"

Xizi, who was grabbed by the collar, smiled and said, "Yes, father Xiong promised me."

"If you don't believe me, ask the male father." Xizi pointed to the door.

Qi Heng, who was standing at the door: ...

He shouldn't have followed me. What a jerk.

Qi Heng knew it was too late to hide now, Chu Xiu had already seen him.

...Well, I just mentioned that we need to change our overly awkward relationship. If I deny the brat now, I guess everything I said before will be useless.

Chu Xiu looked in the direction Xizi pointed, and subconsciously loosened his grip on Xizi's hand.

Xizi took advantage of the situation and ran towards Qi Heng.

When they arrived in front of Qi Heng, Xizi took his hand and walked towards Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu had noticed Xizi's actions, but at this moment his attention was entirely on Qi Heng. He asked hesitantly, "What did Xizi just say..."

"It's true." Qi Heng smiled, even if not now.

It's just one night's stay, it's not a big deal. Just think of it as spending time with the kid to make up for the lack of his father's love.

He had a good idea, but it was not so easy to actually do it.

That night.

After Chu Xiu finished cleaning up the eggshells, there was still some time before dinner, so Qi Heng and the others decided that one side would cook while the other would take care of the little bugs who were obviously overly excited.

Unsurprisingly, Qi Heng was entangled by the brat.

"Will the male father play hide-and-seek late?"

"Want to play?"

"Yeah, you can wait until your father hides before looking for him." Xizi said, covering his eyes with his hands and said, "I won't peek."

-----------------------

The author has something to say: Recently my heartbeat has been getting faster at night causing insomnia. Yesterday I thought about going to bed early to see if it would help, but it was of no use... I saw a doctor and he checked me out, he didn't say anything else but told me to get more rest, so I'll resume updating QAQ and hope I'll get better soon.
