Old Master Huo, who was being coldly stared at by Huo Qin, was speechless.
I just couldn't resist.
After finishing her meal, Chaochao went for a stroll in the small garden to digest her food. After greeting Huihui, who was trying hard to lose weight and control her diet, she went back into the house, took out a small piece of paper, and dialed the numbers on it one by one using her smartwatch.
The call was answered in less than three seconds.
Yu Ning's uncertain voice came from the other end:
"...chaochao?"
The little dumpling, who was originally planning to surprise me by asking "Guess who I am?", was greatly shocked, "Sister, how did you recognize me?"
She hasn't even said anything yet!
Yu Ning: "...Because I just gave you my phone number."
Moreover, only a few people have her contact information.
Having accepted this explanation, Chaochao clicked her tongue regretfully, deciding to skip the surprise segment. She then proceeded to inquire about Yu Ning's health from all angles until Yu Ning numbly reminded her, "I'm fine. I can run, jump, eat, and poop. If you ask me any more questions, I might just die."
Chaochao was so startled that she immediately stopped asking Yu Ning if her bottom was cold, because she remembered how her sister had been sitting on the floor for a long time that night.
Noticing the silence from the child opposite her, Yu Ning, who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, paused for a moment, removed the towel from her forehead, and added in a muffled voice, "Even if you ask, I won't hang up..."
Although the girl's hoarse voice was soft, it was still clearly heard by the sharp-eared Chaochao. It was as if Xiugou had been suddenly released from his restraints and immediately started chattering happily.
For every sentence she spoke, Yu Ning would patiently respond, and finally add a sharp and insightful comment at the end. For example, when Chaochao angrily talked about those who spread false rumors and comments behind her back, Yu Ning said that there was no need to care, because although they had mouths, they didn't necessarily have brains.
Chaochao was stunned for a moment, and finally touched her head with relief.
Thankfully, she always used her intelligence when she spoke.
We chatted for about ten minutes, mostly Chaochao talking, before finally hanging up reluctantly. Uncle Beard said that we shouldn't be too clingy after making up; we should maintain a sense of distance.
But my brothers haven't called in a long time!
System: ...Baby, have you forgotten your video?
After finishing her call with her sister, Chaochao immediately called Xie Jingcheng.
"Brother Jingcheng! Hehehe..."
In a great mood, Chaochao called out her name first, then couldn't help but start grinning like an idiot.
As Jiang Chi passed by the living room with a glass of water, he saw Chaochao lying on the sofa, her little feet bouncing on the floor. When she got excited, she would roll over or roll around like a round rolling pin from one end of the sofa to the other.
Jiang Chi: "..."
The young man's lips curled up quietly, and he tapped the table with his free hand, suddenly feeling a slight itch on his hand.
"...Brother Yu Ci, how is my little flower doing now? Oh no, I mean my little grass~"
At this moment, Chaochao had clearly changed her phone call partner. Yu Ci, on the other end, heard the little dumpling's clear, joyful voice and basically knew what must have happened today.
For example, Yu Ning and she made up.
...Or perhaps, I had a particularly delicious meal today.
Is something good happening today?
Yu Ci's gentle and clear voice came through.
This question has serious implications.
"Yes!!! But there were also unhappy moments... but there were even more happy moments!!!" Chaochao poured out her entire day's experiences like beans.
Jiang Chi, pretending to be passing by, casually picked up a small plush toy pendant from the coffee table and handed it to Chaochao, who was busy on the phone, and took it while chattering away.
Ten seconds later, Jiang Chi, who was passing by again carrying water, handed over a small bag of chocolate crisps, which Chaochao accepted without asking any questions.
Then Jiang Chi passed by a third and fourth time, handing over a sticky note and a small orange each time...
The little dumpling, who was on the phone, accepted everything without question.
After four or five rounds, Chaochao's small hands, which had limited capacity, could no longer hold the banana. When a guest who was returning for the nth time came on stage with a banana, Chaochao wanted to take it but found that she had no fingers left to use.
Then I simply peeled the banana and fed it into my mouth with a smooth and natural motion (￣～￣).
There's no room in my hands, so you can go to my mouth first, banana.
Jiang Chi: "..."
He sat leisurely on the other sofa, watching the little dumpling's phone conversations go from Yu Ning to Xie Jingcheng to Yu Ci and then to Pei Yushen.
The little dumpling is a constant, while the older brother comes and goes.
After telling Pei Yushen to get some rest and remember to cover Xiao Lü with a blanket, Chaochao finally ended this round of phone calls while humming a little tune.
She was about to tap the watch screen when she realized, strangely, that she couldn't lift a single finger. Puzzled, she looked down—
After blinking and standing there for three or four seconds, she leaned back in shock!
When did so many things grow on her hands?!
Jiang Chi, who had finally witnessed this moment, turned his head and let out a soft laugh, pressing his knuckles to his lips.
Yes, that's confirmed. People do tend to accept things from others when they're on the phone, even three-year-olds are no exception.
Jiang Chi slipped back upstairs without making a sound.
Only Chaochao, with her furrowed brows, remained motionless, a stone statue, seriously contemplating the possibility of chocolate chips, little oranges, and apple dolls growing on her hands.
Feeling guilty and hesitant, she put the things in her hands back into the bamboo basket on the coffee table... Could it be that she suddenly had a craving for food and kidnapped them?
The little dumpling, who had no recollection of what Jiang Chi had just done, had already begun to ponder certain metaphysical and supernatural forces.
The system almost became the "Mongolian ruler," but seeing Chaochao's puzzled, sneaky, and cunning expression, it immediately swallowed its words of "reporting Consort Jiang."
I'm sorry, Chaochao, but you're so funny.
Despite her upright character, Xiao Qi eventually followed in Jiang Chi's footsteps and happily began to enjoy the fun of teasing the child.
Even after washing up and the fragrant little dumpling climbed into bed and pulled the covers up, I was still thinking about where those things came from.
In the warm, soft light of the bedside lamp, a little dumpling lay upright, wide awake, its round eyes shining so brightly in the dim light that they seemed to gather all the light.
Huo Qin put down the documents and rubbed his temples.
"...What are you thinking about?"
"Daddy, do you think the Snail Fairy has come to our house?"
Huo Qin: "?"
Chaochao excitedly turned her head as if to say something, but her increasingly clear mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the neglected memories returned to her mind.
One of the young men who passed by repeatedly had a severely excessive level of [something].
Chaochao: "...?"
Where is her beloved Snail Fairy?
How did you turn into a boy?!
System: "...Baby, don't you care that the guy is your brother?"
