Chapter 126 Part 2 Aquaman Dad 15
As night fell, Zhuozhuo yawned, her eyes watery and hazy with sleep. Cheng Su and Wu Jingqiu put their worries aside and took her to find a place to set up camp.
Cheng Su was very active and proactive. He asked Wu Jingqiu to play with Zhuozhuo. He set up two large tents, built a fire, and started a barbecue and soup. Soon, everything was ready. He called out warmly, "Come and eat."
Zhuozhuo was incredibly supportive. For the first time, he left Wu Jingqiu and ran towards Cheng Su. He bit off a piece of meat from his hand and mumbled, "Delicious! Cheng Su is awesome!"
She also enthusiastically recommended it to Wu Jingqiu, "Auntie, the meat is delicious!"
Wu Jingqiu walked over and took in the delicious barbecue. She took a bite and found it tender and juicy. It was surprisingly delicious. She took a sip of the soup and found it was also delicious.
However, "Children's diets can't be too monotonous. Is this all you can do?"
I just heard Zhuozhuo say that Cheng Su was also barbecuing in the temple ruins. A good barbecuer can't raise a good child.
Suspecting he was being picked on, Cheng Su said good-naturedly, "There will be plenty more. I have a chef's license. It's just that we don't have the right vegetables and tools here right now, so I haven't made any vegetarian dishes. I'll make up for it when we get back to town. I'll definitely make sure Zhuozhuo has a balanced diet and won't give her the chance to be picky."
Zhuozhuo, who was eating meat with big mouthfuls, said: "Huh?"
Awooo Awooo swallowed the meat. Zhuozhuo keenly sensed the undercurrent hidden beneath the two men's kind smiles. He looked up at them and said childishly, "Stop arguing."
Wu Jingqiu smiled gently, "We won't quarrel, Zhuozhuo, don't worry."
Cheng Su tore off a piece of meat and stuffed it into Zhuo Zhuo's mouth. "Eat well and don't be distracted."
Zhuozhuo chewed the meat and snorted at Cheng Su. She'd been constantly busy these days, never completely at ease in her surroundings. Now, surrounded by the two people she knew best, and now fully fed and refreshed, fatigue and sleepiness began to set in. Her little head slowly drooped, resting on Cheng Su's shoulder and falling asleep.
As if the pause button had been pressed, Cheng Su and Wu Jingqiu were frozen in place, even the whistling wind was blocked, unable to disturb Zhuo Zhuo in the slightest.
After a while, Zhuozhuo fell asleep, his little body slumped down softly, pressed against Cheng Su's arms and chest.
Cheng Su's heart softened. He carefully placed Zhuo Zhuo in the tent. Just as he was about to tell Wu Jingqiu that there was a pond nearby where they could take a bath, he heard her cold and emotionless voice: "Have you been guessing about your identity?"
His heartbeat was a little rough, but he remained calm on the surface. "Hmm?"
"I'm guessing you came from another world, or you were just set up as a traveler, but are actually a native of the Western Fantasy Continent."
The smile on Cheng Su's face disappeared. He set up a soundproof barrier around Zhuo Zhuo and then said calmly, "What do you want to say?"
"I can tell you your origins as a reward for taking care of Zhuozhuo these past few days."
Cheng Su frowned, a flash of offended anger in his eyes, but it vanished when he saw Zhuozhuo. He said coldly, "Since you're Zhuozhuo's relative, I can be nice to you. But if you don't want to live in peace with me, I can still take Zhuozhuo away."
"Take? I'm afraid you're trying to trick Zhuozhuo into leaving." Wu Jingqiu sneered, "Zhuozhuo is smart. She'll find out about your deception sooner or later. How are you going to coax her then?"
Cheng Su, who had long experienced how difficult it was to coax Zhuo Zhuo, remained calm and composed. He uttered a few words coldly from his thin lips, "No need to coax her. I'll beg her."
“…”
Just now, I only got a glimpse of Cheng Su's shamelessness from Zhuozhuo's description, but now I heard it with my own ears.
Wu Jingqiu stopped arguing with him and asked, "Do you still want to know your origins?"
"I'll check it myself."
"After searching for so long, have you found it?"
"I'll find out later."
Wu Jingqiu: “…”
Why is this male protagonist so difficult?
She let him continue to be stubborn and said bluntly, "You can imagine that if you are a time traveler, then the person who is thrown into the Earth's core fire to complete the rules does not have to be you. Any time traveler from a complete world can do it. If your time travel is just a setting, then you are the only candidate. This truth involves another world. No matter how you investigate here, you will not know the exact result."
Cheng Su looked at Wu Jingqiu coldly.
Wu Jingqiu said, "But I know. You are indeed a time traveler. More precisely, you are a time traveler from the same world as Zhuozhuo. Your initial calculations were correct. If Zhuozhuo had been burned by the Earth's core fire instead of you, you would have escaped your predetermined fate, and this world would not have collapsed due to incomplete rules."
Cheng Su subconsciously cast three more soundproofing barriers on Zhuo Zhuo. He stared at her for a while, confirming that the system in her head wasn't talking nonsense to her. Then he looked at Wu Jingqiu with a chill in his heart, "If you're worried about that, I swear I won't do it."
"I know."
Cheng Su: “…”
This woman is so infuriating.
Wu Jingqiu: "Since your awakening, you've been trying to break away from the original plot, partly because you don't want to die, and partly because you despise your own behavior in the book. Right?"
"That's not me." Cheng Su's eyes were full of disgust, so obvious that it made people wonder whether he was deliberately reacting to Wu Jingqiu's words or was expressing his true feelings.
"That's you. Strictly speaking, you in the book are a walking corpse without self-awareness, controlled by the world consciousness."
Wu Jingqiu mercilessly exposed his scars. "Your memory may not be complete yet. In fact, this world has restarted 998 times. This is the 999th time, and it is also the first time since your awakening. If I'm not mistaken, Angus in the original book was a native who traveled through time. When this world first evolved into reality, your soul happened to come here and became Angus."
That's why they resist the plot of self-sacrifice and are unwilling to throw themselves into the fire of the earth's core, resulting in repeated evolutionary failures.
9972, who was eavesdropping, was shocked. It couldn't understand what was going on with Cheng Su this time. Wu Jingqiu had only had contact with Cheng Su twice, so how could she have come to this conclusion? And this conclusion was surprisingly convincing.
Wu Jingqiu looked sympathetic. "I'll report this to my superiors, and someone will be assigned to take care of your repatriation and compensation. But for now, you'll have to stay here for a while. I'll be leaving soon, so I can only ask you to take care of Zhuozhuo."
Cheng Su stared at Wu Jingqiu with bloodshot eyes. Countless information flooded into his mind as she spoke. Hundreds of memories from previous reactivations were instantly restored, and his brain felt like it was about to explode. His expression was agonized and grim. He stumbled and lost his balance, subconsciously leaning against the soundproof barrier surrounding Zhuo Zhuo. But this heartless woman before him not only refused to comfort him, but also coldly said, "Stand away. Don't wake Zhuo Zhuo."
“…”
Cheng Su cast another soundproof barrier around Zhuo Zhuo and said viciously, "Who are you? Are you a staff member of the Space-Time Administration in the novel? You weren't gentle with the victim at all. I'm going to file a complaint against you."
"Whatever you want, my number is system 9972."
9972:[……]
Wu Jingqiu, you. It was Wu Jingqiu's lifesaver, and she actually stabbed it in the back.
Moreover, it had not yet said that it would end Wu Jingqiu's work in this world, but Wu Jingqiu had already decided to leave. It was so undignified as a superior.
Cheng Su was choked by Wu Jingqiu's indifferent attitude. He simply concentrated on digesting the flood of memories. When his head ached less, he asked coldly, "Where are you going? Zhuozhuo is still so young. You are her guardian. Leaving without permission is a crime of abandonment."
After she finished speaking, a trace of sadness appeared on Wu Jingqiu's face, but she quickly suppressed it and said calmly: "I am just a tool. Only Zhuozhuo treats me as a mother and an aunt."
“…”
Cheng Su suddenly understood. Zhuozhuo had been living alone for too long, so she had Wu Jingqiu. Now that Zhuozhuo had someone to take care of her, it was time for her to leave. Perhaps because of sympathy for one's own kind, Cheng Su felt a little guilty towards Wu Jingqiu, but a simple "I'm sorry" was too useless. He said solemnly, "I won't let Zhuozhuo forget you. I will often mention you to her."
Wu Jingqiu: "Even if you don't say it, Zhuozhuo will never forget me."
Cheng Su: “…”
Her kindness is taken for granted. Who will take care of this woman?
After staring at each other in silence for a moment, Cheng Su couldn't help but ask, "When are you leaving? Let me be clear, I personally strongly disagree with leaving without saying goodbye. Adults can't ignore a child's feelings or underestimate her wisdom just because she is young..."
"Of course I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. I always say goodbye to Zhuozhuo seriously!" Realizing that she had exposed information in her impulse, Wu Jingqiu glared at Cheng Su and said, "Get out. I want to sleep with Zhuozhuo."
Finally seeing this woman, whose emotional stability rivaled that of a robot, break down, Cheng Su felt a sense of relief, his head aching no longer. He hummed a little tune as he left the tent. He paused, taking in the night breeze for a moment, and spoke through the cloth, "Thank you for trusting me."
He would not betray her trust.
"roll."
Cheng Su: “…”
So fierce. Just get out.
The stars shifted, and the sun rose. Zhuozhuo woke up to the sound of birdsong. She hummed, turned over, and arched her little butt into the quilt. Without even opening her eyes, she began to hum: "Cheng Su, Auntie——"
"Here I come."
Wu Jingqiu opened the curtain and came in, bringing not only the fragrance of flowers and dew in the morning, but also the aroma of fish soup that domineeringly penetrated into the burning nose. The little guy suddenly arched his head from under the quilt, looking out with bright eyes, "Smells good! It's delicious~"
"Cheng Su is cooking. There are fish and shrimps. Zhuo Zhuo is getting up now, so it's just right for us to eat."
Wu Jingqiu understood Zhuozhuo's habits. He would stay in bed for a while when he got up early, but he would also stay in bed when he had enough motivation to get up.
Sure enough, Zhuozhuo was eager to drink the fish soup and eat the prawns. Without Wu Jingqiu's help, he climbed up from the quilt and jumped out. When he passed by Wu Jingqiu, she hugged him and quickly changed him into new clothes.
"Thank you, Auntie~"
Zhuozhuo's voice was soft and sweet, almost melting Wu Jingqiu's heart. She did not put Zhuozhuo down, but carried her out of the tent and washed her face, hands and mouth by the pool.
Zhuozhuo forgot everything else when he saw the water. He stretched out his hands and paddled, splashing water everywhere. Wu Jingqiu wanted to carry her away, but her feet seemed to have taken root there, growing there, and she refused to leave. Suddenly, a small, bluish-brown fish swam through Zhuozhuo's fingers. The smooth, sticky touch of its scales startled her.
"fish!"
Zhuozhuo opened his eyes wide, kicked his legs, stuck out his butt, and lay directly on the ground, with half of his body hanging in the air, and his little face pressed against the surface of the pond to watch the fish.
But the little fish had already swam away, and he couldn't see it anymore. Zhuozhuo didn't give up, and crawled to the side, changing his position and continued to look.
Wu Jingqiu watched helplessly as the little girl, who had just changed into new clothes and washed clean, turned into a dirty little monkey in an instant. After a moment of silence, she grabbed her and said calmly, "Zhuozhuo, we agreed to wash our faces and then have dinner. Let's come see Xiaoyu after dinner, okay?"
"not good--"
Zhuozhuo twisted his little body to escape from Wu Jingqiu's hands, jumping and laughing as he ran along the pond. After running for a while, he lay down to see if there were any small fish. He soon became so dirty that his whole body was dirty that you couldn't even tell what color his clothes were.
Wu Jingqiu's eyelids twitched. Knowing that Zhuozhuo was in high spirits, she simply stopped trying to persuade him. "Then let's have some fun in the water and then go eat. But because you didn't keep your word, the food is cold. You can't refuse to eat it later. Baby, let me remind you, fish soup and shrimp will be very fishy when they get cold."
"Zhuozhuo is not afraid of fishy smell."
Okay.
Wu Jingqiu rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs and ran with Zhuozhuo to look at the fish, but of course they didn't see a single fish.
Perhaps they heard the noise, the fish in the water all hid.
Zhuozhuo showed a frustrated but unyielding expression. Just when Wu Jingqiu thought she was going to stand up and move to another place, she plunged into the pool of water. "Zhuozhuo——!"
Wu Jingqiu was startled and jumped in immediately. She dived into the water hurriedly and looked around, but saw a golden fish tail flipping out of the water, and a chubby little hand grabbed her hand and brought her to the surface.
Zhuozhuo's little face also showed up, and he raised his fish tail in front of Wu Jingqiu, saying as if presenting a treasure: "Look! It's so big and beautiful!"
She swallowed and carefully held back the word "delicious" because she had never tasted a mermaid's tail.
Wu Jingqiu was about to sternly criticize Zhuozhuo's dangerous behavior, but when she saw the golden fish tail, she knew the little guy was not messing around. She scratched Zhuozhuo's nose and said helplessly, "You."
Caring for a little one with extraordinary abilities can be a real test for one's heart.
The fish tail was exposed, and Zhuozhuo was having fun in the pond. He dived into the deep, chased fish and shrimps, and grabbed some water plants and stones to give to Wu Jingqiu. He didn't care about eating at all.
Cheng Su, hearing the little one's barbell-like laughter, came over and spotted Wu Jingqiu sitting by the pool. She was soaking wet, the fabric clinging to her body, revealing her beautiful curves. For some reason, Cheng Su, who had regained his memories of the Sea King and had decided upon awakening to shun women, felt his heart skip a beat. He looked away, as if struck by lightning, and found Zhuo Zhuo in the pool.
"It's time to eat."
Zhuozhuo ignored it.
Cheng Su was not surprised at all. He stood calmly by the pond and said, "Zhuozhuo, I got up before dawn to cook. I feel so sad when you don't eat it."
Zhuozhuo finally looked over and said softly, "It's okay. Zhuozhuo will play with it first, and then eat it cold. Zhuozhuo is not afraid of fishy things."
Cheng Su nodded calmly, "Okay, take your time."
He wasn't worried at all. The little girl had never eaten cold fish soup and shrimp before, so she wasn't afraid. She would know how to be afraid after she tried it herself, and she would definitely not do it again next time.
The pool wasn't big, and Zhuozhuo quickly had enough fun jumping up and down. She fixed her eyes on the rushing waterfall, swam over, and tentatively reached out her little hand.
The water hit my hands and hurt.
But Zhuozhuo became even more curious. She raised her little hands and tried to grab the water and climb up.
I gave up after trying it once, and then tried to climb up by grabbing the rocks, but failed quickly as well.
Zhuozhuo looked at the waterfall and the steep cliff, then turned and swam towards the shore.
Wu Jingqiu couldn't help but ask, "Are you done playing?"
Master Cheng took the initiative to speak, "Not necessarily."
The two watched Zhuozhuo. After she reached the shore, her fish tail transformed into legs. The next second, a pair of large red wings emerged from her back and spread out. With two flaps, she flew steadily to the cliff with Zhuozhuo.
I have to say, Zhuozhuo adapts to various new limbs at an astonishing speed.
The two parents looked calm, but they were so proud that they wanted to show off to the whole world.
The little guy stood on the edge of the waterfall, folded his wings and looked down, his bright eyes full of eagerness to try.
Cheng Su and Wu Jingqiu: "...No!"
They understood Zhuozhuo's intention at the same time and spoke out to stop him. One ran over quickly and the other threw out a magic shield.
Zhuozhuo cheered and jumped down. Before he reached the waterfall, he was wrapped tightly in the magic shield and rolled all the way down into Wu Jingqiu's arms.
"No mask, don't pick me up, no no no—"
Zhuozhuo smashed the magic shield and fell out of Wu Jingqiu's arms like a loach. She was dizzy and staggered, but she still had to go back to the cliff for another unprotected bungee jump.
Wu Jingqiu tried to stop her, but found she couldn't. The little girl's golden light of merit was simply invincible, and attached to her palm, no one could do anything to her.
A cat head floated out, explaining, "Zhuozhuo has been repressed in this world for so long. Now that you're by her side, she's having a blast. But I suggest you stop her. The water's force is so strong, it'll definitely hurt her. And if she's hurt, you'll be the ones feeling the pain."
Wu Jingqiu was almost carried up by Zhuozhuo by the legs just now. She smiled and asked, "How can we stop it?"
The cat head immediately looked at Cheng Su, "Come on, why don't you? You don't leave a good impression on Zhuo Zhuo anyway. It doesn't matter what you want to do. We can comfort Zhuo Zhuo."
"...Are you speaking human language?"
[I am not human.]
“…”
Cheng Su finally agreed. He pulled out a dark object from the shallow water grass and said loudly, "Zhuozhuo, look what this is."
"Wait and see." Zhuozhuo was in a hurry to fly and didn't even look back, just said perfunctorily.
"This is a leech. It will burrow into the human body and suck blood. If it's not caught in time, it can suck a person to death. The body of a dead person is full of small leeches, especially in the stomach and brain... Zhuozhuo, let me help check you out. You've been playing here for so long, maybe there are leeches burrowing into you, crawling under your skin, picking out the best blood to drink..."
“Ahhhh!”
Cheng Su was very talented at telling stories, and Zhuo Zhuo was horrified by what he said. He was so frightened that he folded his wings and ran to Cheng Su screaming, jumping up and down anxiously, "Cheng Su, look! Are there any leeches on Zhuo Zhuo's body?"
She raised her arms and saw the leech in Cheng Su's hand. She screamed even louder, turned around and ran to Wu Jingqiu, throwing herself into her arms.
"Wuwuwu, scorching, no leeches."
I was so anxious that I almost cried.
Wu Jingqiu quickly hugged the poor little thing and comforted him, "There are no leeches. Cheng Su is just trying to scare you. Zhuo Zhuo, don't be afraid."
But Zhuozhuo was really scared. He looked at Cheng Su with tears in his eyes and asked pitifully, "Really?"
Cheng Su didn't expect the little girl to be so scared. He quickly threw the leech away, but she screamed again, "Don't be in the water! Don't be in the water! Don't be in the water!"
"Okay, okay."
Cheng Su picked up the leech and threw it into the woods across the street. "Don't be afraid, Zhuozhuo. I threw it far away. It's not in the water. This leech can't survive."
He took two steps forward and heard Zhuo Zhuo's deafening scream, "Go! Cheng Su, get out of here!!!"
Cheng Su was stunned, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He subconsciously took three steps back and said in a steady voice, "I'm leaving, I'm leaving. Zhuozhuo, don't worry. I'm leaving."
However, Zhuo Zhuo's screams did not stop, anxious and panicked, avoiding them as if they were a flood or a beast. Cheng Su was worried that she would hurt her voice, so he took several steps back, away from the pool and waterfall, and looked at this side from a distance.
Seeing Zhuo Zhuo stamping his feet in anger, he shouted impatiently at him: "Ah——!"
Cheng Su didn't care about being sad and hurried to comfort her, "I'll walk away. Zhuozhuo, please stop crying. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have used ants or other things to scare Zhuozhuo. I'm leaving, I'm leaving..."
He turned and ran, listening to Zhuozhuo's excited shouts behind him, feeling regretful, worried, and anxious. What's wrong with Wu Jingqiu? Why don't you hurry up and calm Zhuozhu down? Children have fragile vocal cords, and yelling like that will definitely hurt them. It hurts so much...
The sound of whistling wind came from behind his head. Cheng Su turned his head away reflexively and saw a wet shoe that was burning.
Cheng Su: “…”
Heartache, heartbreak, panic...
Before Cheng Su could finish his mental journey, Wu Jingqiu's angry voice came, "Why are you running? Come back and wash your hands!"
Zhuozhuo, who was so anxious that he was babbling, finally heard what he wanted to say and repeated it very forcefully: "Wash your hands! Chengsu, wash your hands!!!"
Cheng Su immediately walked towards the pond, "Okay, okay, I heard it, I need to wash my hands, Zhuozhuo, stop talking..."
He suddenly realized that Zhuozhuo had been yelling so excitedly just to get him to wash his hands. Unfortunately, he had retreated too quickly, getting further and further away from the pool. Zhuozhuo was so anxious that he couldn't say anything clear, and his yelling became meaningless.
The more he retreated, the more she screamed.
Cheng Su was at a loss for words. He washed his hands as quickly as possible and even held them up for Zhuo Zhuo to confirm. At her request, he washed them several more times, and finally calmed her down.
"Baby, does your throat hurt?"
Cheng Su walked over and asked, squatting down to touch her burning throat, wanting her to open her mouth and look at her vocal cords.
Zhuozhuo leaned in Wu Jingqiu's arms, slowly opened his mouth, and said to 9972 in a sobbing voice: "Zhuozhuo's mouth is on fire, it hurts so much..."
It hurts so much that I shiver.
[Don't be afraid, baby, it can be cured with a small light ball.]
Zhuozhuo immediately rubbed out two small balls of light and threw them into his mouth.
“…”
[……]
The small light ball had no substance. It did not choke its little owner, nor did it explode its little owner. Instead, it repaired the little owner's damaged and hot vocal cords.
Zhuozhuo instantly lost the uncomfortable feeling and began to look at Cheng Su with an accusing look.
Without her saying anything, Cheng Su was the first to raise his hands in surrender. "I know, I'm stupid. Not only did I not understand Zhuozhuo's meaning, but I also didn't pay enough attention to hygiene. I didn't even remember to wash my hands after touching something dirty. Zhuozhuo, please forgive me, okay?"
"Woo." Zhuozhuo's attention was instantly drawn back, and she whimpered aggrievedly, "Are there leeches on Zhuozhuo's body?" She twisted her little body and raised her little hands, looking conflicted and embarrassed, as if she wanted to touch herself but didn't dare. She looked pitiful.
Cheng Su was originally very distressed, but seeing this scene, he put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, suppressing his laughter before saying, "No. I just remembered that this is an ordinary leech, which dares not suck the blood of a magician. Zhuo Zhuo is so powerful, there must be no leeches on his body."
However, the little guy was not comforted, "Really?"
"real."
Cheng Su's answer was firm and decisive, but his own credibility was obviously insufficient. Zhuozhuo looked at Wu Jingqiu, "Auntie..."
"Really not." Wu Jingqiu raised her arm and turned it over and over for Zhuozhuo to see. "Auntie has also been playing here for a long time, and not a single leech came to suck blood. Zhuozhuo is even more powerful than Auntie, so no leech would come to you."
But Zhuozhuo was still worried, "What if a leech's brain is broken? It will insist on sucking."
Wu Jingqiu suppressed a laugh. "It's okay if it's broken. A blade of grass can't break a stone. Zhuozhuo is the stone, and the leech is the grass. You don't have to be afraid of Zhuozhuo. Even if it wants to suck your blood, it can't."
This was quite plausible, and Zhuozhuo believed it, breaking free from her frightened state. However, after this ordeal, she no longer had any interest in playing around, and listlessly followed Cheng Su and Wu Jingqiu to dinner.
The fish soup and prawns had indeed become cold. Zhuozhuo took a bite without any precautions. The cold and fishy smell rushed into her head. She shuddered and almost vomited, but Cheng Su, who was standing by, covered her mouth.
"Zhuozhuo, have you forgotten what you just said? You said you wanted to eat something cold, and you weren't afraid of the fishy smell."
Zhuozhuo remembered, but she really didn't want to eat. She looked at Cheng Su eagerly, and when he didn't seem to be moved, she looked at Wu Jingqiu eagerly.
Wu Jingqiu couldn't stand the look, but she knew she had to teach her a lesson, so she simply covered her eyes and said, "Baby, eat it. The longer you wait, the colder it gets and the less delicious it will be."
Zhuo Zhuo: “…Woo woo woo.”
She struggled to swallow but refused to do so. Cheng Su was worried she would choke, so he had to let go of her hand and let her spit it out. However, he said harshly, "If you don't eat it, you will starve. I haven't made any other food."
Zhuozhuo didn't believe it, but Cheng Su and Wu Jingqiu started eating their own portions tacitly, as if they couldn't taste the fishy smell. They finished it quickly, and then looked at her in unison, silently urging her.
shining:"……"
She'd been very active this morning, and now her stomach was aching with hunger. It growled and growled, and she yelled at Zhuozhu to eat quickly. Zhuozhuo looked at the fish soup and prawns with a look of deep resentment. After a long while, she finally raised her hand.
The small ball of light enveloped the dishes.
heating.
The multifunctional white light was very effective. The fish soup soon began to boil, and the prawns began to steam. The aroma rose with the steam, penetrated my nose, and made my stomach growl louder than thunder.
Zhuozhuo swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth to eat.
"Wait! It's hot."
Cheng Su and Wu Jingqiu watched Zhuozhuo's operation and finally gave up. They walked over and squatted beside her, one peeling shrimp for her on the left and the other feeding her fish soup on the right.
Zhuozhuo ate contentedly, looking at the two of them with sparkling eyes, and said, "Chengsu, Auntie, you're stupid. Zhuozhuo is smart!"
I couldn't think of such a simple solution.
The two were amused, "Yes, Zhuozhuo is so smart."
After the meal, Cheng Su went to wash the pots and dishes. Wu Jingqiu carried Zhuo Zhuo to a rock and said gently, "Zhuo Zhuo, do you like the food Cheng Su cooked?"
"like!"
"Do you like Cheng Su?"
Zhuozhuo glanced at Cheng Su's busy back, nodded, and whispered, "I like it. Auntie, don't tell Cheng Su, I don't want him to be proud."
Wu Jingqiu smiled, "Auntie won't tell Cheng Su." Then she hesitated and asked, "Baby, if I let you live with Cheng Su, would you be willing?"
Zhuozhuo realized something and looked at Wu Jingqiu silently. Just when Wu Jingqiu was trying to change the subject and leave a few days later, she said, "Auntie is leaving."
Wu Jingqiu's heart skipped a beat, and she said with difficulty, "Yes. Zhuozhuo, I couldn't stay with you for too long anyway. I'm so sorry..."
The soft little body fell into his arms, and Wu Jingqiu hugged it subconsciously.
Zhuozhuo said like a little adult, "Auntie, I'm not sorry. I'll go do my own thing. Zhuozhuo is awesome. I beat the bad guys away. Cheng Su cooks delicious food. I hope Zhuozhuo grows up well. Auntie, don't worry about Zhuozhuo. I'll think of him. Zhuozhuo will miss me so much."
Wu Jingqiu's tears streamed down her face. She tilted her head back, not daring to let Zhuozhuo see. Her voice choked with sobs, "Auntie will. Auntie will miss Zhuozhuo very, very much. Zhuozhuo, you have to take good care of yourself. No one can bully you, and no one can make you unhappy. Remember?"
"Remember~"
Zhuozhuo suddenly stood on tiptoe, looked at Wu Jingqiu's tearful face, stretched out his little hand to wipe away her tears, "Don't cry, we will meet again."
9972 felt both distressed and relieved. Zhuozhuo was really sensible in this world. If it were in the past, she would have been crying out of breath by now.
Cheng Su listened to the conversation and thought to himself, "What a great kid!" Wu Jingqiu, a grown-up, was shameless in needing a child's help. But when he thought about how Zhuozhuo would say goodbye to him and coax him in the same way after completing her mission, he was overcome with sadness, tears streaming down his face.
Can't stand the sensational moments, random scanning and distraction 9972: [……]
Why are you crying? When did Cheng Su become so sentimental?
