"Why are you being so coy? Wasn't this bought for me?" She had already seen the general outline; it looked like a pink inflatable toy.
Huo Yeshuo lowered his head, looking somewhat embarrassed, and hesitated for a long time before finally pulling the string in his hand to the front.
Lin Zhenzhen looked closely and was surprised to find that she had guessed correctly; it really was a pink inflatable toy pig.
Its oval body, bulging like a large watermelon, has eyes, a nose, a mouth, and a small, curved tail resembling a watermelon stem, has been hastily dotted on it.
When it moves, the paper pieces that act as its four legs swing wildly in the wind, looking just like a short-legged dwarf pig hopping along with tiny steps.
Lin Zhenzhen paused for two seconds: "Where did you find such an ugly thing?"
Huo Yeshuo's expression suddenly changed: "You have to accept it even if it's ugly."
Lin Zhenzhen was extremely reluctant, but in the end she still took the white thread from his hand: "Even if I'm a pig, in your heart I wouldn't be such an ugly pig, would I?"
Huo Yeshuo said very quietly, "It's not you, it's me."
"What?"
“I said, you’re treating this…doll as me. Since you’re leading…pig, that proves you’re not a pig. I take back what I just said.”
"Huh?" Lin Zhenzhen was stunned for two seconds, then burst into a deafening laugh.
"What? So, the thinking of elementary school students is contagious within a one-meter radius? Buying one will make you young again in ten minutes? With a brain circuit as peculiar as yours, I can't understand it unless I have an IQ of 180!"
Huo Yeshuo's ears were already red with embarrassment, and now he was even more furious. He stepped forward and covered Lin Zhenzhen's mouth: "Stop laughing!"
Lin Zhenzhen stared wide-eyed, letting him do as he pleased, but her lips, resting against his palm, kept opening and closing, like soft flower petals gently brushing against her skin.
After a while, he realized what she had been muttering to herself.
"Pig, pig pig..."
Huo Yeshuo abruptly withdrew his hand and took two steps back.
"Can you please stop giving people random nicknames?"
Lin Zhenzhen feigned a frown: "Huh? You don't like me calling you that?"
Huo Yeshuo's expression was complicated: "I don't like it."
At the same time, the system in his mind's eye suddenly appeared, crouching in a corner with its own shadow, and said plaintively: "Host, you've changed. You have other pigs outside. I'm no longer your only cute baby."
【？】
Lin Zhenzhen nodded and looked at Huo Yeshuo, saying, "I also think I shouldn't call you a pig."
Lin Zhenzhen pulled him to a small stall and said, "You should look like this."
After saying that, she quickly grabbed a yellow cat headband and swiftly placed it on Huo Yeshuo's head.
Huo Yeshuo: ?!
......!!
After only a moment of surprise, Huo Yeshuo quickly ripped the cat headband off his head.
The speed was so fast that Lin Zhenzhen didn't even have time to swipe open the camera on her phone.
"Ling Zhen!" Huo Yeshuo gritted his teeth.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhenzhen muttered, feeling wronged. "There's no tiger picture here, so it's okay to use a cat instead, right?"
"tiger?"
"Hmm! Didn't you say I'd play dumb to fool the enemy? If I'm the pig, then who's the tiger?" Lin Zhenzhen seemed to be seriously discussing this with him. "Isn't it you?"
"......"
Huo Yeshuo's expression instantly became quite interesting.
Lin Zhenzhen pretended not to understand and lowered her head to lick the candy she was holding, but her lips were stuck together by the fine sugar strands. She could only bite instead of licking, and opened her mouth, pulling at it forcefully without any regard for her image.
But this thing has a magical power that makes people feel more pathetic the harder they try.
"Mmm." Lin Zhenzhen looked up at the person opposite her and mumbled, "Help me break it."
Soon after, Huo Yeshuo's fingers were wrapped in layers of sugar threads, just like when they were attacked by a spider demon in a spider cave.
Lin Zhenzhen suddenly smiled happily again, her eyes curving into crescents, and even the dimples on her cheeks were stretched out, like scars left by a happy shooting star.
Huo Yeshuo blankly touched his two fingers together; the sugar strands were sticky and made a "da ba da ba" sound.
Lin Zhenzhen laughed even harder, and tears even welled up in the corners of her eyes.
......
Huo Yeshuo knew it was stupid, but he couldn't help but wiggle his fingers again, like a crab waving its pincers.
Once Lin Zhenzhen's laughter subsided, she straightened up and looked at him with her wet eyes.
"Huo Yeshuo, you are so good to me."
"..." Huo Yeshuo's heart raced a little, but he couldn't help but ask, "You're only realizing this now?"
Does being good to her mean you have to go through stupidity with her?
Huo Yeshuo suddenly felt that all the effort he had put in before had gone to waste.
"No, I've always known." Lin Zhenzhen's eyes seemed to be shining. "You've been so good to me, I'll never forget you."
Although the words were well-intentioned, Huo Yeshuo disliked the tone in which Lin Zhenzhen said them; the deliberate emphasis made it sound like a farewell.
"Pah, pah, pah," Huo Yeshuo spat three times in his mind, his expression serious: "Since you know I'm good, you should always be grateful."
Lin Zhenzhen blinked: "I'm grateful, I'm very thankful to you."
"Don't just say it, show it with your actions."
“(?′?`?)”
Never mind, let's talk about it next time.
