Ai Zi squatted down, her face becoming even gentler, her voice even softer: "Tuan Tuan, didn't you promise Mommy?"
Tuantuan tilted her head and carefully examined Ai Zi, making Ai Zi feel uncomfortable all over.
Tuantuan took a step back, looking at her with some panic: "Mom, don't you love Tuantuan anymore? You're so mean."
Ai Zi's lips twitched, then she smiled even more brightly and gently: "Is Mommy fierce? Mommy has been smiling the whole time, how could I be fierce? Tuantuan, you are my precious daughter, how could I bear to be fierce to you?"
Tuantuan pointed to her own feet, then to Aizi's feet, and looked up at her: "Are you really my mother? Then why aren't you worried when you see your baby isn't wearing shoes?"
Ai Zi: "..."
The little bundle of milk stood in the moonlight, wearing pajamas and barefoot.
The smile vanished from her fair, delicate face, making her look like a homeless child.
"Don't all mothers love their children?"
Ai Zi: "..."
She smiled and walked towards Tuantuan, squatted down in front of her, and said with a loving expression, "Of course I love my own child."
Tuantuan shoved Aizi away, her grape-like eyes full of disdain: "But you're not Tuantuan's mother! Of all people to impersonate, why did you dare to impersonate my mother!"
Tuantuan's realization left even Xiaomei somewhat bewildered.
Did the little one already know that this woman was pretending to be her mother?
So that's why you deliberately cooperated with the performance?
Actually, deep down, Tuantuan still longs for her mother...
Those brief few minutes were probably because Tuantuan wanted to experience what it's like to have a mother...
Xiao Mei quickly moved in front of Tuan Tuan, sizing up the woman impersonating Ai Zi.
"How dare you deceive my little one! I'll tear you to pieces!"
Once recognized, "Ai Zi" simply stopped pretending and revealed her true colors.
It was a disfigured face, completely unrecognizable, with blood dripping down its face, a sight that made one's scalp crawl.
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. I've been playing along with your act for so long, and you still had to expose me. You brat, you've ruined my plans!"
She failed to complete her plan and would surely be punished by Ai Xin when she returned. She was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent it. Now was the perfect time to kill the child, devour the ugly monster's yin energy, and strengthen herself.
The disfigured ghost stretched out its long arm and swung it towards Tuantuan.
Xiao Mei grabbed her arm and yanked hard, breaking the ghost's arm.
Taking this opportunity, Tuantuan stuck a talisman on the ghost's arm.
ah!
The ghostly thing let out a shrill scream, and its arm could not be restored.
Just as the ghost was about to escape, Xiao Mei blocked its path.
Even a three-and-a-half-year-old child is not someone you can easily deceive! Especially when it comes to a child's feelings!
Xiao Mei caught the ghost and gave it several large bags.
The ghostly thing howled as it was beaten, and Xiao Mei swallowed the yin energy from its body in one gulp.
As the yin energy dissipated, the ghostly thing stared wide-eyed, dying with its eyes wide open, its soul scattered and its spirit gone.
[Why are your eyes so wide open? Just because you have eyes doesn't mean you're any better than someone else.] Xiao Mei swallowed the ghost in one gulp and wiped her mouth.
Tuantuan stood on the ground, watching the ghostly thing disappear, and cried uncontrollably.
"Xiao Mei, it smells like its mother."
After Tuantuan returned to the Yang family, Yang Jinchuan showed her everything related to Ai Zi: Ai Zi's clothes, paintings, and belongings.
Even when Tuantuan was hugging her mother's clothes, she could smell Ai Zi's unique scent.
It smelled so much like the scent she had tonight; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so lost in thought.
She only cooperated with the ghostly thing's act if she wanted her mother to hug her.
Fleeting happiness is built on shards of glass.
This joy is bittersweet.
Xiao Mei stood beside Tuan Tuan, staying by her side the whole time.
"Little one, let's go back."
Tuantuan nodded, and Xiaomei picked her up and led her away from the woods.
at the same time.
A black candle in front of Ai Xin suddenly went out.
Ai Xin opened her eyes and uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Ai Xin couldn't believe it: "It actually failed?!"
She used Ai Zi's residual aura and placed it on the ghost to attract Tuan Tuan's attention.
This was one of her few trump cards, and she was so confident that it would succeed, but it failed.
Isn't Tuantuan just a three-and-a-half-year-old baby? Does she have three heads and six arms?
Ai Xin was unwilling to give up; she wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible.
**
Tuantuan returned home, took a hot shower, changed into her pajamas, and quietly opened Yang Jinchuan's bedroom door.
The little girl climbed onto the bed, and Yang Jinchuan, hearing the noise, turned on the bedside lamp.
When I opened my eyes, I met the little girl's timid, grape-like eyes.
The little girl showed her tiny teeth and asked in a childish voice, "Daddy, can Tuantuan sleep with you?"
Having lost her mother, Tuantuan is afraid of losing her father as well, and she wants to sleep with him.
Yang Jinchuan could not have gotten what he wanted.
He pulled back the covers and hugged his precious daughter, saying, "Of course, Tuantuan can sleep with Daddy."
Tuantuan was wearing socks, and Yang Jinchuan instinctively wanted to help her take them off.
"Tuantuan, why are you sleeping with your socks on? Let Daddy take them off for you."
Tuantuan quickly pulled her little feet back, afraid that Yang Jinchuan would discover the scars on her feet, which would give her away.
Tuantuan didn't want her father to worry, so she changed the subject.
"Dad, Tuantuan misses Mom."
The little girl's voice was hoarse as she leaned against her father, looking somewhat fearful and uneasy.
