She's sleeping; we'll talk to her when she wakes up.
Pei Yushen responded with lip-reading, causing the boy opposite him to silently narrow his eyes.
Xie Jingcheng really had no choice.
If Pei Yushen doesn't give it to him, he can't just take it by force, lest he wake up the sleeping Chaochao.
Wang Jie suddenly spoke up: "Everyone..."
The car body experienced another small bump.
It woke up Chaochao, who had fallen asleep.
She shook her head, sat up straight, and asked sleepily:
"...Are we home yet?"
"Sorry, sorry, we haven't arrived yet. We just went over another speed bump."
If last time was a great deal of regret, then this time Wang Jie felt an immense sense of apology. She almost banged her head on the steering wheel, her face filled with deep self-reproach and shame.
"So, Ha-hu... we haven't arrived yet, we haven't arrived yet..."
Upon hearing that they weren't home yet, Chaochao yawned widely, her eyes half-closed, and then weakly drifted back to sleep. Her little head tilted to one side, and by sheer coincidence, she collapsed right between Pei Yushen and Xie Jingcheng—
With her head resting on Xie Jingcheng's lap and her feet draped over Pei Yushen's body, she closed her eyes and fell fast asleep in a second.
Pei Yushen and Xie Jingcheng: "..."
It perfectly solved the problem of uneven distribution.
Both of them paused for a second, and then withdrew their hands.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Yu Ning kept watching the team-fighting battle between the two behind her through the rearview mirror. Her fair cheeks puffed out slightly, and she turned her gaze away from the window in frustration.
What's so interesting about it? She's sitting here; even if the drums were beaten to announce the arrival of the emperor, the news wouldn't reach her.
But less than three seconds later, his gaze unconsciously returned to the sleeping little dumpling in the rearview mirror, and then to the two who seemed to have reached a consensus and paused their confrontation.
Especially Xie Jingcheng.
Yu Ning let out a very low hum.
He changed his mind at the last minute and got off the bus to change seats, that's probably why.
As the car slowly came to a stop in front of the Huo family's house, the sleepy little dumpling lying between the two of them seemed to have a magical connection. She opened her bright almond-shaped eyes with a "whoosh," showing no signs of sleepiness, and quickly got up and clung to the car window.
"We've arrived!!!"
The little dumpling's excited and clear voice suddenly rang out at the villa's entrance. Gray, who was doing body-shaping and fitness training in the garden, instantly rushed into the front yard, half flying and half running.
Just as Xie Jingcheng opened the car door, Chaochao, in a moment of urgency, jumped out of the car like an arrow, so fast that Xie Jingcheng couldn't even catch her. "..."
"We're back! All our older brothers and sisters are here!!"
Upon landing, Chaochao was startled, then took off running straight into the villa gate. Passing by a gray magpie diligently exercising, she didn't forget to offer heartfelt praise and encouragement as she raced along.
"Wow, Grey, you've lost weight! That's amazing!"
A grey magpie flapping its wings vigorously in the air:
"Chirp—"
The chubby bird had a nonchalant air about it, seemingly unconcerned about its achievements, but in reality, its rear end, under the feathers at the tip of its tail, was already taut with effort.
Seeing Chaochao rush into the house and disappear, Huihui, clinging to her last breath, finally deflated like a punctured balloon and plummeted straight to the ground.
Having successfully put on a show for Chaochao, the gray magpie calmly glanced at the few people still standing silently staring at the villa entrance, then haughtily chirped and swayed its hips as it walked back to the garden.
Yes, a bird walks.
Everyone: "…………"
Xie Jingcheng, Pei Yushen, and the others were already used to the dramatic nature of Chaochao's beloved pet, the gray magpie. Apart from a slight twitch at the corner of its mouth, they didn't show any other obvious reaction.
Yu Ning, who was visiting for the first time, stood by the car door, looking at the scene with a slightly bewildered expression.
Why did I feel like I was being looked down upon by that bird just now?
wrong!
The main point shouldn't be whether this fat bird is too conspicuous or not.
Or is it that she's not used to the fact that animals can actually become spirits here after the founding of the People's Republic of China?
Yu Ning's wide eyes were filled with confusion, surprise, and a little unease. Her fingers, which were gripping the car door, curled up involuntarily until Wang Jie reminded her, at which point she seemed to snap out of her daze.
The Huo family's security personnel took out a folding wheelchair from the trunk. This time, no assistance was needed. Pei Yushen got out of the car and went straight to the wheelchair.
Once he sat down again, the boy's tense knuckles finally relaxed a little.
Where no one could see, her slender legs trembled uncontrollably beneath her black trousers.
Today's frequent and intense walking was definitely overloaded.
but.
Pei Yu finally let out a breath of the pent-up frustration that had been stuck in his chest for so long.
He still wanted them to know that he could do what he couldn't do before, he could do in the future.
Seeing him walk and sit down, Xie Jingcheng raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, then nodded to him lightly, "Congratulations."
Pei Yushen responded calmly.
My gaze inadvertently swept across the car window, and I paused when I saw the reflection on the glass.
Yu Ci stood behind the crowd, leaning his body so that his movements were not visible.
But in the reflection of the car window, Pei Yushen clearly saw him casually dust off his left sleeve with his brows furrowed.
That was the side he had been in contact with in the car.
Pei Yushen had heard that Yu Ci was a germaphobe.
He didn't feel annoyed by being disliked; Pei Yushen's heart was only slightly disturbed, and even a faint trace of joy rose up.
Aren't all the people present problematic?
Seemingly sensing that she was being watched, Yu Ci raised her eyes and met Pei Yushen's gaze through the car window as he was about to turn away.
