Chapter 388 The Coward's Black Moonlight Witch 19
He Baifeng shook his head and sighed.
She carried the luggage in one hand and held Shen Xinran tightly with the other, "Alright, stop making trouble. We know you don't welcome us, so we'll just go back."
Wang Yaling hurriedly dissuaded her, "Mom, have breakfast before you leave."
He Baifeng shook her head and said calmly, "No, you and your family can eat it."
After saying that, he strode towards the door.
She walked with determination and did not look back.
When they arrived at the station, He Baifeng looked at Shen Xinran. She reached out and touched Shen Xinran's face, and asked with concern: "Does it still hurt?"
Shen Xinran nodded, and she threw herself directly into He Baifeng's arms, choking and saying, "I don't like them, I hate them."
He Baifeng originally wanted to say: They are your parents.
But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
She touched Shen Xinran's head and soothed him in her hoarse but firm voice: "Don't be afraid, grandma is here, and she will protect you."
Shen Xinran continued, "Grandma, let's not come here anymore."
He Baifeng patted Shen Xinran's back gently and sighed, "Okay, I won't come again."
Chu Bojian raised her head from her schoolbag and glanced at Shen Xinran. She suddenly realized that the reason she held back her tears was not because she was strong, but because she had not found someone who could support her.
The bus arrived at the station, He Baifeng bought a ticket and got on, while Shen Xinran sat in the window seat.
On the way back, Chu Bojian kept looking at Shen Xinran. She leaned her head against the window, staring at the scenery outside without saying a word.
This made Chu Bojian sigh in his heart. It seemed that Silly Girl still remembered what happened just now.
Just when Chu Bojian thought that Silly Girl would be sad for a long time because of this incident, Shen Xinran recovered fully as soon as she got home.
She went straight to the chicken coop and counted the chicks, "One, two, three... eight."
Then he looked at He Baifeng with surprise and shouted with a smile: "Grandma, there are eight chicks in total, not one is missing."
Chu Bojian: “…”
Well, he was overthinking it. This silly girl didn't care about that family at all.
He Baifeng nodded and said, "Then you can take some corn kernels to feed the chickens."
Shen Xinran ran into the main room like a gust of wind and grabbed a handful of corn kernels from the cabinet where grain was stored.
While feeding the chicks, she said, "Little chicks, you need to eat more and grow up quickly so that I can eat your chicken legs."
Chu Bojian, who witnessed all this, asked: "You raise chickens for food?"
Shen Xinran nodded, "What else? Could it be good-looking?"
Chu Bojian really wanted to ask: Then why did you raise me?
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back because he felt that this silly girl could not say anything good.
As expected, Shen Xinran looked back at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandma said that cat meat is not tasty, so I won't eat you."
Chu Bojian felt helpless. "So if cat meat tastes good, you're going to eat me?"
But Shen Xinran's attention was already focused on the chicks. "Braised chicken legs, if you don't eat them, the corn kernels will be snatched away by the other chicks!"
Chu Bojian: “…”
Naming a cat "Light Bulb" is outrageous enough, but you also named a chicken "Red Braised Chicken Leg"? Did you ask the chicken for its opinion?
Well, this also proves that you really don't want to eat him.
Suddenly, Chu Bojian remembered something. He looked at Shen Xinran. If he remembered correctly, his backup name was Ludan!
Shen Xinran noticed the scorching gaze of the light bulb and suddenly felt a little guilty. She turned around and faced the light bulb with her back.
After He Baifeng came back from the city, she held a ritual almost every day, which became a part of her daily life.
At noon that day, Shen Xinran had just finished his nap when he saw the table in the main hall filled with various instruments and materials for rituals, and He Baifeng was carefully arranging them.
Shen Xinran rubbed his eyes, his voice still hoarse from just waking up, "Grandma, you're back."
He Baifeng raised her head and said with a smile, "There's some egg cake in the cupboard. If you're hungry, eat a piece of it first. Grandma has to go out for a while and won't be back until tonight."
Shen Xinran frowned, "But didn't you just perform a ritual this morning?"
He Baifeng smiled and replied, "Two families are visiting grandma today."
Shen Xinran took He Baifeng's arm and said in a coquettish tone: "You haven't played with me for a long time!"
He Baifeng patted Shen Xinran's head gently and said with a smile: "Grandma, you have to work hard to make money and buy a beautiful dress for Niuniu."
Shen Xinran grumbled, her voice carrying a hint of childish stubbornness, "I don't have to wear a pretty dress."
He Baifeng stared into Shen Xinran's eyes, her eyes filled with deep love, "But grandma wants to give our Niuniu the best."
Shen Xinran finally nodded, "Okay, but you have to come back early today, I will miss you."
Shen Xinran stood in the yard, watching He Baifeng's figure gradually go away until it disappeared at the corner of the village entrance.
She turned and went back to the main room, where there were a few talisman papers on the table. He Baifeng knew that she liked painting and left them for her.
Shen Xinran picked up the brush and began to draw talismans with great concentration, but after just two drawings, the brush began to become disobedient, the tip of the brush spread out, and it was difficult to draw lines that satisfied her.
She put down her brush helplessly, walked into the yard, sat quietly, her eyes blank.
Chu Bojian observed Shen Xinran from the side, watching her change from concentrating on drawing talismans to counting ants, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: How boring this must be.
He suddenly shouted to Shen Xinran: "If you feel bored, I will teach you how to play cards!"
Shen Xinran's eyes lit up instantly, and she answered excitedly, "Okay."
But soon, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, "But there are no cards at home."
Chu Bojian smiled easily, "It's okay, I know where it is."
Chen Xinran asked curiously, "Where?"
Chu Bojian wanted to say that he had cards at home, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that he was now a cat, so he had to change his words: "Chu Bojian has cards at home."
Shen Xinran frowned and asked doubtfully: "But how do you know?"
Chu Bojian was stunned for a moment and began to think of reasons quickly.
Fortunately, Shen Xinran had already helped him find the answer: "You didn't see it when you ran out earlier, did you?"
Chu Bojian nodded immediately and continued, "Yes, I saw some cards at his house before."
Shen Xinran stood up, dusted herself off, and walked towards Chu Bojian's yard, while Chu Bojian the cat followed behind her.
The Chu family's courtyard door was ajar and not locked. She pushed it gently and the door creaked open.
"Chu Bojian?" Shen Xinran called out in the yard, but no one answered.
She crossed the yard and came to Chu Bojian's room, only to see him lying on the bed with his eyes closed and breathing steadily, looking like he was fast asleep.
