Having finally escaped from Sisi's clutches, Si Jingxuan was sitting on the edge of the field counting ants when he heard the pitiful crying. He rushed over and saw Lin Muze sitting by the stream, holding Chu Chu and gently comforting her. Qi Huanhuan was standing beside them, gently patting Chu Chu's back to comfort her.
"Little Chuchu, let's not cry, okay? Crying makes you less cute~~~"
With tears welling in her eyes and her fair face streaked with golden beans, Chuchu looked at Qi Huanhuan. She raised her long, lotus-root-like arms and pointed downstream into the stream. "But the tadpoles are gone! Waaah~~~ Sister Huanhuan, the tadpoles are gone! They're lost! They can't find their mommy~~~"
Chuchu's soft little body nestled against Lin Muze, her little bottom sticking up, as she cried her heart out in his arms.
Lin Muze had just wiped away her tears when they started flowing again. Chu Chu pouted her red lips, her little voice trembling as she said, "Brother Muze, can you do me a small favor? Go and catch the tadpoles, let them play here with us for a while, and then we'll send them away after we find their mother, so they won't get lost~~~"
Lin Muze helped the little one to her feet and walked towards the mission's destination. He said to her, "Chuchu, don't cry. The tadpoles just went home. Actually, the tadpoles have already found their mother, which is why they refused Chuchu's kindness. They swam home downstream along the stream. The tadpoles have found their mother. Aren't you happy, Chuchu?"
"But~~~" Chu Chu frowned. She had clearly seen some tadpoles swimming from downstream. Did those tadpoles also like to come out and play?
Lin Muze added, "Chuchu, look, your pretty clothes are all wet. You need to ask Aunt Lan to take you to change quickly, or you'll get sick~~~"
"Aaaaaahh ...
When you're sick, you have to get a shot, and shots hurt a lot. Those staff members wearing masks aren't gentle at all, and I kept crying~~~
"Okay, Chuchu isn't sick. She's perfectly healthy, right?"
Hearing that she wasn't sick, Chu Chu breathed a long sigh of relief. She was so scared!
Why didn't you say that earlier?
It scared her so much that her heart was pounding so hard she felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.
Lin Muze gently rubbed Chu Chu's head. Her hair was almost dry, but he still couldn't help but remind her, "Chu Chu, you can't play in the stream anymore, okay?"
Chu Chu leaned on Lin Muze's shoulder, looking at Qi Huanhuan walking beside her, grinning to show her little white teeth, "Why? I had so much fun playing with Huanhuan-jie~~~"
“It’s not safe in the stream,” Lin Muze answered directly. “Chu Chu and Huan Huan are still young, and children shouldn’t play in streams or rivers.”
Can't children do that?
But the stream is so much fun, and the little tadpoles with their shiny black heads are so cute!
Chu Chu pouted, "What if Chu Chu wants to play now?"
Just as Chu Chu was feeling down, a disdainful voice chimed in, "If you want to play, just play in the fish tank. Catch a few tadpoles and put them in, and it'll become a stream."
With a rice stalk in his mouth, Xiu Kaijie jumped behind Lin Muze and saw Chu Chu's fair face being crushed and deformed. He made a big, ugly face with a "lè lè lè" sound.
