Chapter 29
After coaxing Xiaotao, Ji Mingqing sent Wu Ciyong and the other two to the restaurant. After giving them an apology, he hurried back to the yard, wanting to talk to Xiaowan.
As a result, when Ji Mingqing returned, he found the gate locked. He walked into the yard, called Xiaowan's name, and searched the yard, even looking for her in every corner, but still could not find Xiaowan.
Ji Mingqing felt a huge sense of loss in his heart. He raised his hand and knocked his head, then sat down on the stool dejectedly.
If it was just a guess just now, now he is sure that Xiaowan is indeed angry with him. How could he sell Xiaowan's things so casually in a fit of anger?
Even if that thing was really given to Xiaowan by him, he no longer has the right to deal with these items after giving them to Xiaowan. He clearly hated adults doing this when he was a child, so how could he make the same mistake after becoming an adult!
Regret and guilt immediately flooded Ji Mingqing's heart. He still remembered that when he was a child, he had collected a set of instant noodle cards that he loved very much for a long time, but his father gave them directly to the neighbor's son.
At that time, Ji Mingqing cried and made a fuss, wanting to get the set of cards back, but ended up being slapped hard by his own father. He was also scolded for being ignorant and stingy, and was sure that he would never amount to anything in his life.
But that was originally his thing!
Ji Mingqing still remembers his anger and unwillingness at that time. Although he later had a fight with his next-door neighbor's son after arriving at school, snatched the set of cards back, and even had his parents called in.
But the moment he got the things back, Ji Mingqing felt a joy he had never felt before. At that time, he thought that when he grew up, he would never become such an adult.
But today he made the same mistake his father made.
The regret in his heart surged as his memories came back. He felt a mixture of regret and helplessness. He pushed open the door and wanted to go out to the yard to look for Xiaowan. But when he stood at the door, he didn't know which direction to go.
Only then did he realize that the only intersection between him and Xiaowan was here, and even if Xiaowan wanted to disappear, he couldn't stop her.
He didn't even know where Komaru would go.
Ji Mingqing clenched his fists, trying to suppress the panic in his heart. He randomly chose a direction and walked, gently calling Xiaowan's name as he walked.
After walking for a while, he saw something in the grass in front of him. When he walked closer, he found that it was the rocking car that was knocked away by Xiaowan.
Xiaowan didn't take the rocking car with her before leaving. It seemed that she was really angry. Ji Mingqing bent down and picked up the rocking car that was broken into two pieces on the ground.
Ji Mingqing sighed as he looked at the shattered rocking car. Most of it was covered in scratches, the supporting pole at the bottom was broken in two, and the bamboo piece that served as the spring inside was nowhere to be found.
He put the rocking car that was broken into two pieces back into the storage bag, then squatted down and straightened the flattened weeds one by one.
"Alas..." Looking at the weeds that couldn't stand up for a long time, Ji Mingqing lowered his head like them.
If only he could access the internet here, he would definitely go online and ask [What to do if he makes his kitten unhappy].
Thinking of this, Ji Mingqing shook his head. If it were true, he would never meet a clever kitten like Xiaowan in the place where he lived before.
After wandering aimlessly outside, Ji Mingqing returned to the courtyard. He thought for a moment, took out a pen and paper, and wrote an apology letter on the table. He then pressed it down with a stone to ensure that Xiaowan would see it immediately when he returned.
He even drew a "picture explanation version" out of concern for what would happen if Xiaowan didn't recognize human handwriting.
After doing all this, Ji Mingqing sat on the stool in a daze until there was a knock on the door.
"Boss Ji." Cui Ding's voice came from outside the door. Ji Mingqing quickly stood up and opened the door. "What's wrong?"
"It's Wu Ciyong. He wants to know what you just gave Xiaotao to eat. His son Dongdong also wants some."
"Oh, about this. Please wait for me for a moment. I'll put something down and I'll be there with you soon." Ji Mingqing turned around and ran quickly to the stone table. He placed a bowl of ice cream on the table as an apology. He was afraid that the ice cream would melt when Xiaowan came back, so he also placed a glass of iced plum drink.
After everything was set up, Ji Mingqing followed Cui Ding back to the restaurant.
Xiao Tao, who had stopped crying, jumped off the stool when she saw Ji Mingqing and hugged his thighs.
"It's so dangerous to jump down from such a high stool." Ji Mingqing said with a smile, and then touched Xiaotao's head.
After Xiaotao hugged Ji Mingqing's thigh, Dongdong was not to be outdone. He jumped off the stool and hugged Ji Mingqing's other leg.
Ji Mingqing was left in a state of confusion by the two men's actions. He quickly took out the ice cream from his storage bag and gave each of them a bowl.
"I haven't started selling this yet. Originally, Xiaowan and I..." When Xiaowan's name was mentioned, Ji Mingqing became visibly disappointed again.
"Is Xiaowan the fairy beast of Boss Ji?" Wu Ciyong asked curiously.
Ji Mingqing was about to nod, but then shook his head vigorously, "No, Xiaowan is not my fairy beast, he is my good friend."
After hearing this, Wu Ciyong nodded thoughtfully, and Cui Ding, who was passing by, couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.
It is true that ignorance is bliss. Cui Ding was envious.
After waiting for a few days, Xiaowan still didn't come back. Ji Mingqing had no energy to do anything during these two days, and even when collecting money, he was not as happy as before.
That day, Xu Yihe passed by Ji Mingqing and mentioned that Ji Mingqing was muttering, "Is Xiaowan really not coming back?"
Xu Yihe, knowing the whole story, wanted to find a way to comfort them. However, the timing was extremely unfortunate. When the Lord slapped the rocking car into the sky, they all received an emergency summons from the border.
The Lord asked the two of them to stay here to protect Ji Mingqing, while he immediately went to the front line to fight with the vanguard troops of the Demon Realm.
The security of the border is beyond doubt, so the Lord has been at the border these past two days to quell riots and has no time to come back.
However, this should be top secret. Xu Yihe had no way to explain it to Ji Mingqing, so he could only say comfortingly: "Maybe Xiaowan will be busy these two days, and the immortal beasts will socialize with each other."
"Really?" After hearing Xu Yihe's words, Ji Mingqing felt relieved a lot, but when he was free, he still trotted to the yard, replaced the apology gifts prepared for Xiaowan, and then trotted back to the restaurant.
He had to make more than ten trips back and forth like this every day. After seeing this, Xu Yihe silently recorded it on the jade slip, preparing to show it to the Lord when he came back.
"Do you know where to buy paint?" Ji Mingqing asked Xu Yihe when the restaurant was empty. "I want to paint the wood."
"Yang...it's sold at the place where you bought the seeds last time." Xu Yihe answered subconsciously.
"So they're there." Ji Mingqing said, and then suddenly thought, "How did you know where I bought the seeds?"
Xu Yihe's heart tightened. He thought he had patched up a loophole, but he found that there was still negligence. Before he could come up with an excuse, Ji Mingqing came forward again and said with a hint of admiration: "Do you know the owner of that store? She can obviously be a soldier."
"We've only met a few times, so we're not that familiar." Xu Yihe hurried down the stairs. "She has some over there, and if I contact her, the bird next to her can even deliver the goods. I wonder if you need it."
"Yes, yes." Ji Mingqing quickly agreed.
Sure enough, not long after, Xu Yihe handed the lacquer that Xuan Feng had sent to Ji Mingqing. Ji Mingqing looked at the small tube-shaped object, which was no bigger than a lipstick, and asked curiously, "How much is in it?"
"There should be quite a few, and what color you want, just tell him before you use it."
Even though Ji Mingqing thought he had seen a lot, he still opened his eyes wide in surprise. "Is it so easy to use?"
"That's right, she won't lie to me." Yang Lingkong never tells lies, she only fights when they disagree with each other.
"Then I feel relieved." Ji Mingqing put the things away. The rocking car he gave to Xiaowan had been repaired. The wood had been connected and polished very smoothly. The springs inside were tied tighter and more resilient.
This time, Ji Mingqing bought paint and wanted to paint the car directly white and then draw patterns on it. He hoped that when Xiaowan came back, he would forgive him because of his hard work.
It would be even better if I could fall in love with this rocking car again!
—
At this moment on the battlefield, Bai Cangze was killing people in all directions. This should be the last vanguard of the Demon Realm. If these people were not defeated, there would be a steady stream of large troops following behind, and then the Immortal Realm would be in danger.
Even though the battle was difficult, Bai Cangze and his subordinates still won, even though they had to be restrained because they were in the territory of the fairyland. They could not make too much noise and had to control the attack range of the demons.
But this time they were victorious after all. After this war, the fairy world can at least feel comforted for a hundred years.
"My Lord, Palace Master Xu has something to report."
Bai Cangze waved his hand and asked his men to hand over all the messages from Xu Yihe.
Before leaving, he specifically asked Xu Yihe and Cui Ding to keep an eye on Fengxi Garden. If there was any sign of trouble, they would immediately take Ji Mingqing away. He must have something important to report since he sent a message at this time.
Bai Cangze took the jade slip with a serious look, opened the secret letter using a special method, and began to read it.
"...What the hell is this!" Bai Cangze couldn't help but curse.
"Xu Yihe is crazy, right? Ji Mingqing went back and forth between the restaurant and the courtyard twelve times a day. Is that worth reporting to me?"
Go back and deal with him!
