Scolded by its master, the little tree man completely wilted, and with a look of grievance, he lowered his vines, entangled with each other, and made a weak and pitiful "chi chi chi" sound.
[Master, Zhizhi knows she was wrong... But, but he looks like you, your younger brother, and your older brother. Zhizhi can recognize him. He is one of our family!
Zhizhi gave him the tenderest leaves on her hands, not the dirty ones on her feet...it was really good stuff!]
Lu Nange's heart softened when he saw Zhizhi's aggrieved look.
Although I knew it was well-intentioned, I still reiterated: "Zhizhi, even if it's someone from our family, or something you think is good, you still have to get my approval first. Don't you understand?"
Zhizhi nodded her wavy hair and responded obediently: "Chirp, chirp, chirp..."
[Okay, Master, Zhizhi will remember this and ask you first next time.]
Sang Xu, who was standing aside, watched his niece earnestly "reasoning" with the little tree man, while the little tree man nodded and chirped in response, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Nannan, can you...can you communicate with this mutant plant?" He had never heard of such an ability before.
Lu Nange nodded slightly, his tone slightly softer than usual: "Yes, uncle. They are my companions."
She pointed at Zhizhi, then at the macaw leisurely preening its feathers on a pickup truck not far away: "This is Zhizhi, and that's Gangzi."
Sang Xu turned his gaze to the parrot and repeated subconsciously: "It...Gangzi?"
The macaw immediately raised its head and clucked twice: "Ga...Gangzi! Gangzi!" It looked quite proud.
Sang Xu: "This name... is quite concise. Yeah, simple and straightforward, and easy to remember!"
Lu Xici carefully observed Sang Xu, confirming that he felt no discomfort after taking the leaves: "Uncle, Zhizhi feeds you leaves. As long as the consumer has no ill will towards Nannan, it will be of great benefit to the body and can nourish the body."
Sang Xu grasped the key point and pressed the issue, "If it's harmless and very good for your health, then what if... it's malicious?"
Lu Xici continued in a tone that was a mixture of joking and seriousness: "It'll be a horrible death. Specifically... it'll probably be like a 'bang,' like it explodes from the inside, shattering to pieces, with no hope of rescue."
Sang Xu's eyes lit up and he blurted out, "What a good thing!"
Thinking of how Lu Xici had just stared at him with an inquiring look, he couldn't help but laugh angrily and raised his hand as if to hit him on the head.
"You little brat, you were staring at me just now. Could it be that you suspect that I, your uncle, have ill intentions towards your daughter?"
Lu Xici leaned back to avoid it: "I was just observing subconsciously..."
"...Do you think I believe your nonsense?" Sang Xu glared at him unhappily, then turned to Lu Nange.
"Nannan, then... do all the leaves on Zhizhi have this effect?"
Lu Nange shook his head. "Uncle, only the leaves that grow on certain branches have this effect. They're few in number and grow very slowly..."
Upon hearing this, the excitement on Sang Xu's face dimmed and turned into a sigh: "What a pity, people's hearts are unpredictable... If there were enough people, Nannan could have her own team and wouldn't have to worry about backstabbing..."
Lu Xici: "Uncle, we have our own partners and family... We will introduce them to you later."
Sang Xu nodded and then shook his head: "I can't stay here for long. Originally, this procurement mission was originally planned by another captain of our base who came here this morning to negotiate.
I saw your names on the flyer, so I managed to get this opportunity and temporarily switched over! ...I'll introduce your friends to my uncle later."
