"Don't talk nonsense. Wanwan believes in Brother He Yong. He has the ability!"
Now it was Baili Wanwan's turn to protect He Yong behind her. She was furious and wanted to argue with Wan Qiusui, but it was getting late and the other children were also eager to go home.
They had no choice but to go back first.
Baili Wanwan secretly made up her mind to teach this person a lesson during the competition!
The next day.
For the first time, Baili Wanwan didn't need anyone to wake her up; she got up on her own.
Even though she tried to get up early, Lin Yang'er was nowhere to be found.
Yawning, she pushed open the door, and a gust of cool wind rushed in, making Baili Wanwan much more awake.
Sure enough, in this place near the mountains and the sea, the morning wind always carried a bit of chill, but it felt very refreshing.
"Why are you up, fairy sister?"
Lin Yang'er was helping Zhang Xiu in the courtyard, starting a fire and cooking rice.
Back when they were in the Lin family mansion, Lin Yang'er did all the dirty and tiring work, including servant tasks like starting fires and cooking.
Therefore, Lin Yang'er had already cultivated these skills.
She skillfully pinched out a piece of firewood, quickly lit the dry grass, and then took out a tube-shaped piece of wood, blowing air into the fire continuously.
Soon, a raging fire broke out.
Baili Wanwan rested her chin on her hand and squatted down to watch.
"Sister Yang'er is so amazing." She clapped her hands and took a deep breath, but her expression quickly froze on her face.
Baili Wanwan rolled her eyes and suddenly coughed heavily, "This is really choking me to death!"
Baili Wanwan felt like she needed to cough up her entire lungs.
Lin Yang'er, who was standing to the side, couldn't care less about continuing to cook. She kept stroking Baili Wanwan's back and asked with concern, "Fairy sister, are you alright? This is all my fault. If I hadn't reminded you, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
She was filled with self-reproach, but she was helpless.
Zhang Xiu had already realized what was happening and brought over a bowl of water, making Baili Wanwan drink it all in one gulp.
The cough finally stopped after a long while.
"I never imagined that so many delicious foods would require so much effort to make. It seems that Wanwan needs to learn to be more frugal in the future!"
Baili Wanwan said with a confident look, "It's just eating less, it won't make me lose any weight, Wanwan can definitely do it."
At this point, Baili Wanwan became even more confident.
The villagers tell everyone that she has gained a lot of weight recently. Although being fatter is auspicious, she is slower at swimming in the sea, and sometimes when she wags her tail, she loses control of her direction.
Thinking of this, Baili Wanwan felt even more frustrated.
She looked up at Zhang Xiu, her face full of anticipation.
"How about Auntie teaches Wanwan to cook? Wanwan is sure she can make delicious dishes. After all, Wanwan is quite capable. Then Wanwan will understand how hard it is to get food and will be able to save some money."
Baili Wanwan was right, which pleased Zhang Xiu greatly.
But then she mentioned, "But what should we do if Wanwan can't get up in the morning?"
Zhang Xiu was speechless for a moment, his face darkening. But when he thought of how adorable Baili Wanwan was, he couldn't bring himself to complain.
"Fine, fine, as long as you behave well, your aunt will make sure you're well-fed from now on."
This was exactly what she wanted. Baili Wanwan jumped onto Zhang Xiu, hugged her neck, and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Wanwan knows it, Auntie is the best to Wanwan!"
After a long and winding journey, the meal took a very long time to prepare, and the rest of the family members gradually woke up.
Wan Yuekui looked like he hadn't woken up yet. His eyes were blurry, and he stumbled, almost falling over.
Fortunately, he managed to grab onto a large tree nearby.
I breathed a sigh of relief and was now fully awake.
"It's strange, but I haven't been sleeping well these past few days. In the middle of the night, I keep feeling like there are shadowy figures moving outside the window, but in that half-asleep state, I can't tell if it's real or not..."
At this point, Wan Yuekui ran up to Baili Wanwan and asked mysteriously, "Wanwan, have you ever heard of ghosts?"
Baili Wanwan was taken aback.
She once saw a book in the study called Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.
The cover had some kind of incomprehensible drawing, but it was inexplicably attractive, so she carefully opened it to take a look.
The descriptions inside are mostly of spirits and monsters, and they are all ghosts that cannot be touched or seen.
She shook her head and nodded repeatedly.
"Of course I've heard of it, but it's not scary. People only become ghosts after they die, and good people remain good ghosts, only bad people..."
Biting her lip, Baili Wanwan's mind raced as she said, "But aren't all those bad ghosts destined for the deepest hell?"
She imitated the adults and patted Wan Yuekui.
“Brother Kui, you believe in Wanwan, those ghosts won’t hurt you. So you don’t need to be so timid.”
Unexpectedly, Baili Wanwan had such a thorough understanding of this matter. But what shocked Wan Yuekui even more was that he was actually looked down upon by Baili Wanwan.
That won't do!
“Of course I’m not afraid of ghosts. I was just worried you might be scared. I originally wanted to explain it to you, but I didn’t expect you to understand so clearly. I’m very pleased.”
Wan Suizhou had already taken his seat, and upon hearing Wan Yuekui's words, anger inevitably welled up within him.
How could there be ghosts and monsters in this world?
He was about to reprimand Baili Wanwan for being so engrossed in these absurd ideas, but then he remembered her identity and decided against it.
Since mermaids exist, it's not impossible that ghosts also exist.
"Why aren't you all eating yet? It's almost time for private school."
Everyone obediently kept quiet and sat down.
Baili Wanwan had a good appetite, and with many pastries on the table today, she was overjoyed. She kept shoveling rice into her mouth, and finally put the sweet pastries into the rice and mashed them with her hands. This way of eating amazed everyone.
He looks like someone who doesn't care about appearances.
Wan Suizhou has always been very particular about his conduct and dealings with others, and over the years, his family members have followed suit.
Even though they lived in a village, they still maintained certain etiquette and customs. But unexpectedly, these customs were broken by Baili Wanwan.
Shaking his head helplessly, Wan Suizhou ultimately said nothing.
Perhaps mermaids are inherently bold and unrestrained.
"Wanwan is full. Go tidy up first, and then wait for everyone to go to the private school together."
Baili Wanwan secretly put some itching powder in the bundle of books; it was given to her by Lan Xuerong.
They say this is the magic bullet for punishing a human being!
Baili Wanwan didn't understand any of this. She just felt that if others used this, they would only feel itchy all over, and there was no danger to their lives, but it could still serve as a form of punishment.
If Wan Qiuhui really tried to use any tricks on her, she could still use the itching powder to teach him a lesson!
