"Don't wait for him, Dad will take you out to play."
Hearing Zai Zai's words, Shen Yulou quickened his pace and moved faster through the forest.
A beautiful little butterfly landed on the baby's nose at some point, and the little guy clapped his hands as he looked at the butterfly.
"Hey, where did it go?"
Running to an unknown place, with a dense bamboo forest to the left and no road at all, Shen Yulou quickly ran to the right.
Looking back, Chi Yuan was floating behind him like a ghost, maintaining a fixed distance.
Seeing this, Shen Yulou gave up struggling and stopped in place, waiting for Chi Yuan to approach.
"Why did you stop running, little one? Keep running!"
Chi Yuan placed his hands on his lower abdomen, his leisurely movements resembling a stroll in his own backyard.
"I'm not running anymore."
No matter how I run, I can't shake you off.
He carried the baby and led Chi Yuan forward, and as they walked, they arrived at the Miao River.
After crossing the Miao River, you'll reach the High Priest's residence. Shen Yulou stared at the stones at his feet, lost in thought.
Upon seeing this, Chi Yuan quickly crouched down, and Shen Yulou subconsciously took a few steps back.
"what?"
"Let me help you take off your shoes and socks to cross the river."
He pointed to the water splashing out of the stream, then continued to reach out and grab Shen Yulou's feet.
"Who said I was going to cross the river? I'm not."
"I want to ride on Aling's boat, I want to hear him tell stories."
Shen Yulou pointed to the small boat swaying on the blue waves in the distance, and A Ling's singing voice still echoed in the mist.
Are you sure you want to try vertical water rafting?
"What should I do if my baby chokes on water? What if he/she gets completely soaked? What if he/she catches a cold?"
Chi Yuan stood up and pointed to the baby in his arms. The little one was looking down and reaching out his hand to touch Shui Shui.
"Don't worry about him, little one. I will take good care of him."
Shen Yulou took out a Gu jar from his pocket and waved it in front of Chi Yuan.
"And what about you? I'd be heartbroken if you got soaked to the bone."
Chi Yuan remained squatting on the ground, looking up at him, his fingers resting in the stream, letting the delicate water flow over his fingertips.
"I'll feel bad if you get soaked to the bone, but it's okay, we can feel sorry for each other."
Shen Meiren squatted down and looked at him with a smile. Seeing this, Zai Zai quickly stretched out his foot, wanting to touch the water.
Iced! Cool!
The little one was imagining the feeling of putting his feet in the water, but before that could happen, his dads stood up.
"ah……"
The little guy's sigh of regret, which he seemed to have picked up from somewhere, surprised both Shen Yulou and Chi Yuan.
"Even a little baby like you has her own worries."
Who says babies don't have their own worries? Babies have tiny heads, but they have plenty of worries too.
"Let the dads guess what's bothering their babies..."
Shen Yulou patted the baby's back.
"Is there not enough sparkly food? Is there not enough delicious food? Is my tummy still hungry...?"
I talked to the little one about all sorts of things, and after each sentence, the little one would say "Mmm" in a sweet, childish voice.
"Our precious baby has so many worries."
The little dumpling lifted its foot and kissed Shen Yulou's face.
As they chatted and laughed, A-Ling noticed them; the small boat was slowly approaching them.
“ghob njex ndeud, nongx ndeud (boatman, boatman)”
Shen Yulou stood on tiptoe and waved loudly in the direction of the small boat.
Have you ever been on Aling's boat before?
Chi Yuan's eyes were full of doting when he saw Shen Yulou's excited expression.
"No, it's my first time, so I'm very excited."
"Have you ever been on A-Ling's boat? Do you know A-Ling's love story?"
Upon realizing Chi Yuan's identity, Shen Yulou jumped up and down excitedly.
The high priest might know everything that's happening in the entire Miao region.
The alluring high priestess slightly raised her chin, grasped Shen Yulou's arm, and smiled without saying a word.
Judging from this, they definitely know.
Shen Meiren jumped even more energetically.
"Tell me, and I promise I won't tell anyone else."
