Chapter 18 Huhu to my brother
"Brother, are you in pain?"
Nangong Jue was slightly stunned.
He was just talking casually, but he didn't expect this little idiot to take it seriously.
Nangong Jue said calmly, "It doesn't hurt."
"It really doesn't hurt?"
Seeing that Nangong Jue's attitude towards her had improved a little, the little girl became even bolder. She moved her short legs to slowly approach, suddenly pulled up Nangong Jue's palm and spread it open, frowning, "But brother, there's blood here."
Sure enough, under the dim light, the scarlet cut on the boy's fair palm was very eye-catching.
Nangong Jue frowned slightly.
If the little idiot hadn't told him, he wouldn't have noticed he was injured.
Now that I look at it, I feel the wound is a bit painful.
"It's okay." Nangong Jue said indifferently, pretending to withdraw his hand.
But the little guy's warm little claws held his fingers tightly, refusing to let him retract them.
“?” Nangong Jue was puzzled.
What is this little idiot going to do?
Xiao Taozhi looked at his wound seriously and said, "Brother, don't move. Zhizhi will blow on it and it will stop hurting~"
Huhu?
What is it?
Just as he was wondering, he saw Tao Zhi's furry little head slowly move closer to Nangong Jue's palm, pouting his little mouth and blowing gently.
A warm current suddenly rushed through the palm of his hand, and Nangong Jue felt as if a feather was scratching him, making him feel a little itchy.
"Brother, are you feeling better?" Tao Zhi raised her delicate little face and asked with concern.
Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, but she was caught off guard by a pair of clear and bright deer eyes.
Nangong Jue was slightly startled.
A strange emotion suddenly crossed my heart.
He suddenly felt that this little guy was stupid, and...
Very cute.
……etc!
Cute? Why would he think this little idiot is cute?! Did he eat the wrong meal today?!
Nangong Jue quickly suppressed those inappropriate thoughts, suddenly pulled his hands back and hid them behind his back, saying indifferently: "Don't touch me!"
"Oh." Little Taozhi retracted her hand obediently, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Nangong Jue's hand behind his back, "Brother, go and take care of the wound!"
Nangong Jue, with a serious face like a little adult, said coldly: "It's none of your business."
"Little Dumpling, where are you?"
Nangong Yao's shouts came from not far away.
Xiao Taozhi hurriedly said goodbye to Nangong Jue: "Brother, Zhizhi is leaving first! You have to take care of yourself~"
After saying that, he continued to climb up slowly with his short legs.
Looking at the clumsy back of the little dumpling, a hint of disdainful sneer escaped the corner of the boy's mouth.
You little idiot, you have to use your hands and feet to even climb the stairs. Just take care of yourself first and don’t fall down again.
Next time, he won't care about her.
Just as he was about to leave, Nangong Jue accidentally glanced down and saw a cartoon brooch lying on the ground.
A small pink peach blossom.
That little idiot must have dropped it accidentally.
He bent down to pick it up and put it in his pocket.
"Auntie Yaoyao, what's wrong?" Little Taozhi was running out of breath, and her originally fair and tender face turned red, just like a red apple.
"Where did you go just now?" Nangong Yao wondered.
She searched for a long time but couldn't find the little guy.
Little Taozhi patted his chest, took a deep breath and said, "Zhizhi was climbing the stairs just now and almost fell down..."
"Falling? Where did you fall? Let me see." Nangong Yao anxiously pulled Xiao Taozhi to look left and right, fearing that she would get bumped or hurt.
If the little guy got hurt, not to mention whether Lu Ting would come back to settle the score with her, her old man would also keep talking about her for days.
The little guy is now a piece of flesh and blood in the old man's heart.
"Aunt Yaoyao, Zhizhi is fine." Little Taozhi scratched his head embarrassedly, "When Zhizhi fell, Brother Jue caught me."
Nangong Yao's expression was slightly tense: "Nangong Jue?"
"Yeah." Xiao Taozhi nodded.
Since her mother's death, Nangong Yao has always been distant from her younger brother.
Nangong Yao suddenly became curious: "Xiao Taozhi, why do you call me Auntie but call Nangong Jue Brother?"
They are only about ten years apart in age, so why is this kid calling them two generations apart?
"Well," Xiao Taozhi chewed her fingers and thought for a moment, then answered honestly, "Because my aunt looks like my aunt, and my brother looks like my brother!"
The moral code and the hierarchy of relatives are still too complicated for the little girl, and she doesn't quite understand them.
Forget it, I won’t bother with the kid.
Thinking of the important matter, Nangong Yao took Xiao Taozhi into her room. In the middle of the dim and spacious room was a video monitor.
Nangong Yao tapped the optical magnetic ring a few times, and a blue light suddenly flew towards the monitor.
Suddenly, a whole figure appeared in the room.
It’s daddy!
"Daddy!"
Little Taozhi excitedly rushed towards Lu Ting, and her little paws couldn't wait to hug the man's thighs, but she missed.
The little girl was very stubborn and tried to grab the portrait several times, but every time her hands touched the man, they would pass through his body and she couldn't grab anything.
"Daddy..." Little Taozhi was anxious, and her soft and cute voice was tinged with a hint of crying.
What's going on?
Why can’t she touch her daddy?!
Nangong Yao dragged the little girl aside and patiently explained, "This isn't Lu Ting's real body. It's just an image of him. That's why you can't touch him."
"But what you're seeing now is Lu Ting in another location. He can also see your holographic image there. You can talk to him."
Xiao Taozhi didn't understand most of the first half, but she seemed to understand the last sentence.
The little girl sniffed, staggered to Lu Ting's image, and tentatively called out, "Daddy?"
"Um."
Xiao Taozhi recognized the low, hoarse and steady voice at once.
It must be dad!
The little guy was so excited that his two eyes, as big as grapes, were full of joy. Even the bare peach branches above his head seemed to be more energetic.
Nangong Yao tactfully left the father and daughter alone to talk: "You guys chat, I'll go out for a while."
Little Taozhi happily recounted her day to Lu Ting: "Daddy, Uncle Huahua had a fight with the dog today. Zhizhi was a good boy and didn't get in on the fight... Zhizhi had a lot of delicious food at Grandpa Nangong's house today! There were prawns, meat, cakes... That cake was so delicious, Zhizhi even saved a piece for Daddy, hehe..."
Lu Ting listened patiently on the other side, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
But as she was talking, the little girl's voice suddenly lowered, and she lowered her head, "Daddy..."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Little Taozhi's chubby little fingers kept twisting, and after a long while she finally whimpered with a heavy nasal voice: "Zhizhi misses you..."
"I miss you so much..."
