Chapter 0 [Modern Extra] Chi Li Special
There was a flash of surprise in Chi Li's eyes. He didn't expect that Jiang Jiu had such a personality when she was a child. She was completely different from her when she grew up.
Grown-up ginger wine...
Everything she does shows a serious tendency towards self-destruction. As long as she has to sacrifice herself first, she will basically not choose other options.
The little thing is obviously so afraid of pain and death.
Chi Li closed his eyes, and all he saw was Jiang Jiu voluntarily giving up his soul and body, and turning into smoke in the air.
"Big brother? What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Jiangjiu was particularly sensitive to people's emotions. She could sense the aura of sadness surrounding Chi Li, and immediately looked at Chi Li with worry.
"Brother, it's okay. Although you can't find your home for the time being, you can't go hungry. I'll take you to find something to eat."
Chi Li touched Xiao Jiangjiu's head, and his mind was filled with the thought of compensating her more.
Xiao Jiangjiu glanced at his stomach anxiously and was about to refuse, but his stomach suddenly started to growl.
“…”
Xiao Jiangjiu's face turned red on the spot. He frantically held down his unruly belly and lowered his head in embarrassment.
"It seems that he has been hungry for a long time."
When Chi Li smiled from the bottom of his heart, he looked as beautiful as the most gorgeous rose blooming in summer, making people unable to take their eyes off him.
Jiang Jiu has been obsessed with looks since childhood, so naturally little Jiang Jiu could not escape Chi Li's beauty attack.
She stared at Chi Li in a daze, her face turning even redder, and she didn't know whether it was out of shyness, embarrassment, or both.
...
Sitting at the dining table in the bright living room, Xiao Jiangjiu looked around curiously, but sat obediently on the chair. He didn't touch here and look there like a naughty child, but waited obediently for Chi Li to bring out breakfast from the kitchen.
"Do you like this?"
Chi Li remembered that Jiang Jiu liked to eat Chinese breakfast, such as fried dough sticks, buns, and soy milk, but today it was a small size of Jiang Jiu. In order to make her nutritionally complete, he quietly replaced the soy milk with milk.
"!like!"
Xiao Jiangjiu stared at the food with sparkling eyes, his saliva almost dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"Then eat more."
Chi Li pulled out a chair and sat next to little Jiang Jiu, watching her eat with a smile. Today, the other light bulbs were not at home, and Jiang Jiu turned into a young version. He was really lucky.
"Big brother, don't you want to eat?"
Xiao Jiang was eating the bun noisily, when he suddenly looked down at the bun in his hand, then looked at Chi Li, his eyes filled with guilt, and he tilted his head and asked Chi Li.
"Big brother doesn't eat."
Chi Li's narrow eyes were full of smiles.
He had known that Jiang Jiu cared about other people's feelings, but he didn't expect that she had such a personality when she was a child.
In fact, in this family, except for Jiang Jiu, no one else needs to eat to maintain energy. On weekdays, others just occasionally taste the food on Earth to understand what Jiang Jiu likes.
After all, Jiang Jiu is just an immortal now, and he is no different from ordinary people in other aspects.
"Big brother's house is so nice."
Xiao Jiangjiu looked envious.
"You will have it later."
Chi Li did not directly point out their relationship, nor did he say that this was Jiang Jiu's home. Instead, he smiled and encouraged little Jiang Jiu.
She is a child now, and all she needs is happiness. I don’t want to add any troubles to her.
"Really?! Then Mom won't have to work so hard, and she'll definitely smile at me more in the future."
Xiao Jiangjiu's face was full of surprise, as if he could imagine how happy his future life would be.
"Isn't Mom smiling at you now?"
Chi Li asked.
"No, Mom rarely smiles since Dad left. She also said that every time she sees me, she thinks of Dad..."
Jiang Jiu shook her head, her tone so calm that it didn't seem like she was talking about her unfortunate family background. She had already accepted this fact a long time ago.
Chi Li's heart, which had been healed by the ginger wine, sank suddenly, the smile on his face faded, his throat seemed to be choked by something, and his heart ached.
Jiang Jiu never told them about the past. So this is what it was like?
Chi Li remained silent, but Xiao Jiang Jiu seemed to open up and began to talk about her troubles.
"My mother had a hard time raising me alone. I really hope I can help her and not cause her any more trouble."
"It's just that I was too stupid and messed up. I asked my mother to apologize to the bad boy who bullied me. I can't do anything right."
Xiao Jiangjiu swallowed the last bite of the bun, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he spoke to Chi Li in a crisp voice.
"I'm full, thank you, big brother."
Chi Li looked at the obviously cheerful and fearless little Jiang Jiu in front of him, and remembered Jiang Jiu's extremely serious social anxiety symptoms in the past, and the whole fox became even quieter.
He couldn't imagine what she had experienced during her growing up period to become like that.
"Do you want to play a game?"
Chi Li suddenly asked.
He knew that Jiang Jiu loved playing games the most, and the little Jiang Jiu now would not refuse this temptation. He just hoped that she could be happier.
"I don't want to play anymore. Mom will be unhappy if she finds out."
Xiao Jiangjiu was obviously tempted, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and refused.
“…”
Chi Li had never coaxed a child before, so he truly felt what it meant to be in a difficult situation.
He had never felt so difficult even when he was resisting divine punishment.
In the end, Chi Li could only use his trump card. She remembered that Jiang Jiu was a complete plush lover, and she was afraid that the only way to coax this little guy in front of her was...
The next second, soft and elastic fox ears emerged from Chi Li's head, and a big white fluffy tail stretched out from behind to Xiao Jiangjiu.
When Xiao Jiangjiu saw this miraculous change, his mouth suddenly opened wide with a look of shock on his face.
"You, you, you! Big brother, you are not a human!"
Xiao Jiangjiu pointed at Chi Li's fox ears and shouted loudly.
"?"
Chi Li paused in his movement to get closer to comfort the child. Although what the little thing said was true, it still sounded weird.
"Yes, I am a fox. This is our little secret. You must keep it a secret for me."
Chi Li placed his slender fingers on his thin lips, made a 'hush' gesture, and then spoke mysteriously to Xiao Jiangjiu.
The best way to build a friendship with a child is to share a unique little secret with her.
"oh!"
Xiao Jiangjiu was surprised at first, then nodded very vigorously, almost shaking his head off.
"It's okay, big brother! The little fox is very cute, everyone will like you very much!"
Little Jiangjiu has wanted to have a cat since she was a child, but unfortunately her mother is already exhausted from raising her. If she makes such a request again, it will only make her mother very sad.
She still remembers that the kitten she picked up and brought home disappeared from her home the next day.
She didn't dare ask her mother, so she had to look for it secretly by herself.
It’s a pity that I didn’t find it in the end.
"Well, it's enough that you like me."
Chi Li placed Xiao Jiang Jiu's hand on his cheek, and his voice was as warm as the sun in spring.
Sunlight shines through the glass windows onto the living room floor, reflecting two figures, one large and one small, as if two people had made a very important agreement.
