Dong Chengling opened the door.

Click.

Dong Chengling was slightly startled, and saw that Ren Suo was still lying on the bed covered with the quilt, but he was holding a mobile phone in both hands, pointing the camera at her, making a crisp sound of taking pictures - it was obviously a mobile phone with an anti-theft camera.

Dong Chengling took two steps forward and gently took Ren Suo's phone. He found that he had opened the camera app. He had just taken a photo of Dong Chengling pushing the door open.

“…”

Noticing Dong Chengling's silence, Ren Suo, feeling guilty, pulled the quilt tighter and laughed dryly, then asked, "My snapshot is pretty good, isn't it?"

Dong Chengling looked at him and asked, "The reason why you didn't get up is because you were..."

"Yes, it was because I was playing with my phone." Ren Suo admitted very honestly, "Because when I got up just now, I still felt very sleepy."

"What does being sleepy have to do with you playing with your phone?"

"I'm fighting evil with evil." Ren Suo said seriously, "Sleeping is a desire, and playing with my phone is also a desire. When my desire to play with my phone overcomes my desire to sleep, I will naturally wake up."

What Ren Suo said made sense, and Dong Chengling was naturally convinced. She lowered her head to look at the phone screen again: "Then why did you take pictures of me?"

Ren Suo rolled his eyes and stammered, "Because... I think."

"What do you want?" Dong Chengling was slightly stunned.

"Well, I suddenly got excited and wanted to take a picture." After catching the topic, Ren Suo felt much more relaxed when talking: "My intuition as a photographer tells me that I will take a picture of a precious moment worth remembering. Although my photography skills are not very good, Cheng Ling, you are beautiful enough, it doesn't matter how I take the picture..."

"Really?" Dong Chengling stared at the phone screen and asked suddenly.

Ren Suo didn't know what she was asking, so he nodded repeatedly without asking any more questions: "Yes!"

“Do you like this photo?”

Although Ren Suo didn't see clearly how he took the photo, he was taking a photo of Dong Chengling just now, so there was no way he could deny it at this time: "Of course, especially Chengling, you matched the composition, light, environment, etc. in the photo very well, very naturally!"

Ren Suo was again using some random terms from photographers that he had seen - he actually knew a classmate who liked photography in college, but because that classmate's height (cm) and weight (catties) were exactly the same, even though that classmate bought a lot of lenses and his photo editing skills could even turn Bowser into Princess Bowser, he was still one of Ren Suo's good friends during college.

Well, because of the principle of birds of a feather flock together, Ren Suo basically only played with singles when he was in college. In this respect, Ren Suo can be said to have been smoothed over by society - he can now even chat and laugh with a winner in life like Zhao Huo.

While Ren Suo was talking, Dong Chengling's eyes never left the screen.

In the picture, Dong Chengling, wearing home clothes, opened the door. The morning sunlight fell from the window onto her slippers and illuminated her smooth calves. Her hair was casually tied into a ponytail and fell over her right shoulder, making her look like a very young woman. She looked into the camera with a calm smile on her face. Her beautiful, transparent big eyes twinkled and her lips were slightly open as if she was telling something.

It looks like a wife calling her husband to wake up.

'It matches the composition, light, environment, etc. very well in the photo, and it's very natural.'

Dong Chengling felt her cheeks were as hot as if they were pressed by a custard bun, and her breathing became slightly faster. She forced the cyclone to calm her emotions and said in a calm voice: "Since you like it, I will set this photo as the screen saver."

"Ah? Oh? Okay..." Ren Suo was stunned. He couldn't react to Dong Chengling's sudden change, but it wasn't a big deal, so he just went along with her.

Dong Chengling looked calm. He operated his phone for a while and then returned it to Ren Suo. He then left the bedroom and said, "Get up quickly. Breakfast won't taste good if it's cold."

“Hmm!” Ren Suo immediately reached out and pressed down the quilt—this guy started to get mad when he heard the word breakfast.

After Dong Chengling left, Ren Suo opened his phone and saw that Dong Chengling had set the photo he had just taken as the screen saver.

But the photos are really nice. Previously, Ren Suo's screen saver was forced by his sister to be her own photo, so it doesn't matter if he changes it to Dong Chengling's now.

"Yeah, it's a really nice shot." Ren Suo didn't expect that he could take such a good shot with just a casual shot.

He just wanted to distract Dong Chengling from paying attention to other details in the bedroom, so he pretended to play with his phone. However, after turning on the phone, he easily clicked on the camera and took a picture of Dong Chengling.

"Xiao Jiu is more beautiful! I want Xiao Jiu too!"

Ren Suo felt a weight on his back, and a pair of white and tender arms tightly wrapped around his neck, making it hard for him to breathe. He kept saying, "Xiao Jiu, come down!"

His neck relaxed, but soon a little head popped out of Ren Suo, and a pair of bright eyes on his cute face looked at Ren Suo: "Big brother, Xiao Jiu was not discovered by that big sister just now, isn't it amazing!?"

Xiaojiu is no longer the mature girl she was just now, but has turned into the image of a little girl when they first met. But she is a little different from that time - her fox ears and tail are hidden by Xiaojiu, and her hair and eyes are pure bright black, making her look like an ordinary little girl.

The red dress she was wearing turned into a simple white skirt, and her thin legs in white tights looked very cute. Because she became smaller, Ren Suo was able to stuff her into the quilt without being discovered by Dong Chengling.

Now that they were finally safe, Ren Suo breathed a sigh of relief and held Xiao Jiu down to prevent her from moving - this little brat was so strong and clingy that Ren Suo's body couldn't handle it.

"Xiao Jiu, you..." Ren Suo sorted out his thoughts and decided to start from the first question: "Why did you become so big just now?"

"Big?" Xiao Jiu tilted his head, "What's big?"

“That is…” Ren Suo lifted his hand to Xu Wu’s chest, and suddenly felt that this gesture was not right, so he said directly: “It means becoming as tall as my brother.”

"Because it's convenient to become like that!" Xiaojiu sat on the edge of the bed, with his thin legs dangling in the air: "Xiaojiu runs very slowly, but after he gets bigger, he can run very fast!"

Ren Suo was right. Xiao Jiu's short legs would of course run slower than his long legs. "But... why did you become like that?"

"What does it look like?"

"That's what you'll look like when you grow up." Ren Suo didn't know what to say, so he coaxed: "Well, I mean Xiaojiu looks really good when she grows up. I want to know if you have any tricks to grow bigger. Tell me, big brother. Big brother also wants to be beautiful."

Xiao Jiu giggled with joy: "No, Xiao Jiu just wanted to become bigger so that it would be easier to run, and then he became like that, there is no trick!"

Then she hugged Ren Suo affectionately and said, "But big brother is also very beautiful!"

Kids nowadays are honest, but it’s a pity that you used the wrong word.

However, it seems that the reason why Xiaojiu turned into the Immortal Palace Nine-tailed Fox after she grew up was probably influenced by her subconscious mind. After all, the Immortal Palace Nine-tailed Fox is her mature form.

Ren Suo said: "So you can control the enlargement just now?"

"Yeah." Xiao Jiu nodded: "But Xiao Jiu can't fold his tail and ears when he grows bigger... Big brother, do you like me more when I grow bigger?"

Looking at Xiaojiu's sparkling eyes, Ren Suo, who has twelve years of experience in taking care of children (his sister is no longer a child after she turns twelve), of course shook his head and said, "No, I like Xiaojiu the most now."

"Hehe (#^.^#)" Xiao Jiu crawled into Ren Suo's arms, rubbing his little head against him: "I like big brother the most too!"

Well, although he hadn't coaxed a child for ten years, Ren Suo felt that his skills had not been wasted, so he asked the second question: "Xiao Jiu, how did you find me?"

Xiao Jiu looked up at him and said, "After Big Brother accepts Xiao Jiu's gift, Xiao Jiu can find Big Brother easily!"

Gift? Ren Suo recalled that when he and Xiao Jiu formed a bond yesterday, Xiao Jiu seemed to have sent him a beam of energy... So, could it also be used as a GPS locator?

Ren Suo continued to ask: "Then why did you come to see me, Xiaojiu?"

"I'm here to play with you!" Xiao Jiu said seriously, "Big brother, I've done what we agreed to do, you have to take responsibility!"

"What, what agreement?" Ren Suo had heard Xiao Jiu mention the agreement several times, but he had no memory of it.

Xiao Jiu pouted and said, "Big sister once said that as long as I put away my tail and ears, I can find her!"

Um?

Ren Suo vaguely recalled that when he was playing "Midnight Walker", he met the little nine-tailed fox in New York, and it seemed that the female food god did say these words to the little nine-tailed fox.

"Xiao Jiu can't find big sister now. Big sister's cup is in big brother's hand. Big brother, you also said that you would keep the promise." Xiao Jiu's face was puffed up: "Xiao Jiu was afraid that I couldn't keep the promise, so I put on my clothes completely and put my tail and ears away before coming to find big brother!"

Ren Suo blinked, thinking that Xiao Jiu suddenly left yesterday and then suddenly appeared again in the morning because she felt that she failed to keep her promise and came to find the people from the Fairy Palace without putting away her tail and ears. That's why she suddenly said goodbye to Ren Suo yesterday, and spent a whole night to completely integrate the "treasure" and was able to perfectly maintain her human form for a long time before coming to find Ren Suo.

Hiding the tail and ears, changing hair color and clothes should be the abilities of that treasure.

"Big brother, you won't go back on your word, will you?" Xiao Jiu looked at Ren Suo with tearful eyes.

Although Ren Suo felt that he could barely resist Xiao Jiu's passive charm, he was the one who made the promise in the first place - it was naturally impossible for him to ask the Goddess of Food to repeat the promise now, as she was still in Peacock Country collecting the energy of desire.

Moreover, seeing Xiao Jiu who had gone through so many dangers to come all the way from New York, Ren Suo was not a heartless and straight man, so he naturally took the blame and said, "Of course not, I will abide by the agreement!"

"Great!" Xiao Jiu cheered, with a sly look in his eyes: "From now on, I can be with big brother forever!"

"Hmm?" Ren Suo asked cautiously, "Aren't I playing with you?"

"No, Big Sister said that as long as I hide my tail and ears, she will support me for the rest of my life." Xiao Jiu looked at Ren Suo pitifully and said, "Big Brother, you won't abandon Xiao Jiu, will you?"

Did I say this in the game?
