Chapter 87: Coaxing to Sleep

He tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion, and shook his long dark green hair. The water droplets on his hair splashed everywhere, and a few drops even flew into his own eyes. He hurriedly rubbed them with his hands, but ended up rubbing his eyes red.

"Is it tasty?"

Qing Yan continued to ask, and licked his lips with his tongue, as if imagining whether this thing called "dirty" was delicious.

Xia Yueke was so angry that her face turned red, and she said loudly:

"You can't eat dirty food! It just means your thoughts are bad and inappropriate! Why don't you understand?"

Qing Yan was frightened by Xia Yueke's roar and shrank his neck. He said aggrievedly:

"Yue, no, don't yell, I, I don't understand, why, can't, mate?"

As he spoke, he scratched his head, making his hair even more messy. It looked like a bird's nest on his head. A few strands of hair stood up and trembled with his movements.

Qian Jingyao listened at the side and couldn't help laughing. He patted Qingyan's head and said:

"Qingyan, you can't say such things so casually. Yue will be unhappy. Besides, this kind of thing can only be done when Yue grows up and is willing to do so."

Qing Yan nodded, not quite understanding. "Oh, Yue, you're not happy. I won't say anything more. So, Yue, when will you grow up?"

As he spoke, he squatted down, picked up a small branch from the ground, and began to scribble on the mud, his eyes secretly glancing at Xia Yueke from time to time.

He drew a crooked picture of Xia Yueke and a big smiley face next to it, as if trying to please her.

Xia Yueke stamped her feet and said, "Hmph, don't worry about when I grow up. Anyway, don't mention this again in the future!"

Qing Yan waved his hands quickly, "Okay, okay, I won't mention it anymore. Yue, don't be angry."

After saying that, he tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up. He picked up a strangely shaped stone from the ground, handed it to Xia Yueke and said:

"Yue, this is for you. It looks good. Don't be angry."

He rubbed the stone on his clothes to remove the dirt, revealing the beautiful patterns on the stone, and then looked at Xia Yueke with anticipation.

Seeing that Xia Yuke didn't answer, he got a little anxious and circled around Xia Yuke twice, muttering:

"Yue, take it, it's beautiful, don't be angry anymore."

As he spoke, he raised the stone in front of Xia Yueke and shook it, and accidentally hit his nose. He cried out in pain and squatted down, covering his nose. His silly look was really hilarious.

Xia Yueke chuckled, and her expression just now could no longer be maintained.

"Hahahaha... Qingyan, your nose is so red. If you weren't so handsome, you would look like a clown!"

Qing Yan raised her head, tears still glistening in her eyes, and said with a look of grievance:

"Yue, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to show you this stone. It's really beautiful, just like you."

Xia Yue was even more ridiculous:

"You're just talking nonsense. How can a stone look like me? Am I a stone?"

Qing Yan waved his hands hastily and stood up, but he didn't pay attention to the stone under his feet and almost fell down again. After finally stabilizing himself, he stammered:

"No... no, Yue, you are much more beautiful than the stone. This stone... the stone... it... it is in my heart, as bright as the stars, but you are brighter than the stars!"

Xia Yueke walked over and poked Qingyan's forehead:

"Your mind is really confused. So, tell me, why does this stone look like a star?"

Qingyan scratched his head, raised the stone to the sun, and said with sparkling eyes:

"Look, there are so many sparkling things inside it, just like stars."

"When I saw it, I thought of you smiling and the light in your eyes, and I wanted to give it to you."

Xia Yueke looked at him, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "You guys, although you are a little silly, you are quite thoughtful."

Qing Yan smiled foolishly: "Hehe, Yue, as long as you like it, then you won't be angry with me?"

Xia Yueke deliberately frowned:

"Hmph, let's see how you perform!"

Xia Yueke said this and handed the small animal skin in his hand to the two of them.

Qing Yan hurriedly took the animal skin and rubbed it carelessly, saying as he did so: "Hehe, I knew it, Yue, is the best!"

It was raining heavily outside, and the dense rain threads formed a thick rain curtain, mercilessly lashing the earth.

However, the cave was warm and cozy, completely different from the stormy world outside.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from the cave entrance.

"A-choo..."

Xia Yueke sneezed without warning, and her small nose instantly turned red, looking adorable.

She sniffed, tears welling up in her eyes, with a hint of grievance.

Qian Jingyao frowned, his face full of worry.

He quickly walked to Xia Yueke's side and picked her up. He gently put Xia Yueke on the bed covered with animal skins and said as he wrapped her in animal skins:

"Keke, please put on more animal skins. The temperature has dropped suddenly. I'd be heartbroken if you got sick."

His eyes were full of concern, and his hands were extremely gentle as he carefully tucked in the edges of the animal hide.

Qing Yan quickly lowered the animal skin curtain to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.

But Xia Yueke was not happy after hearing Qian Jingyao's words. She shook her head and her braids danced with it.

She muttered:

"Yaoyao, I don't want to lie in bed, I want to play!"

As she spoke, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Qian Jingyao pitifully.

Qian Jingyao gently pinched her cheek and said with a smile:

"My dear Coco, that won't do. If you get sick, you'll feel even worse at night! How about this, let me tell you a story?"

Xia Yueke's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay! I want to hear an interesting story."

Qian Jingyao sat on the edge of the bed, hugged Xia Yueke in his arms, and began to speak:

"Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit. He was very naughty. One day, he was playing in the forest and saw a beautiful puddle. He wanted to jump into it. But the puddle was so deep that the little rabbit could hardly get out."

Xia Yueke twitched her lips, thinking that this was all a lie to children, but seeing Qian Jingyao trying so hard to make her happy, she could only say very flatteringly:

"And what happened next? Was it rescued?"

Qian Jingyao scratched her nose:

"Then, its good friend Little Bear came. Little Bear was very strong and pulled the little rabbit out in no time."

At this time, Qingyan walked in from the cave entrance.

"What are you guys doing here? Take me with you!"

Xia Yueke rolled her eyes at him and said, "We are telling a story, don't interrupt."

Qing Yan came over and said, "I want to listen too. I want to listen too."
