Chapter 137 Going Home



The audience was thoroughly entertained.

This is my last night in Hongyao Village.

After dinner, everyone held hands and danced in a circle.

The lights are flashing.

Upbeat pop music.

"La~la la~la~~"

Chaochao held Jiang Chi's hand in one hand and Teng Yi's hand in the other, singing along with everyone in fits and starts. Her feet were constantly on the ground, and she was almost swung around like a human pendulum.

Seeing the little dumpling's pitiful state, the audience kept chanting "Save the child!" while laughing and saving screenshots.

After the last game ended, Chaochao and her friends parted ways, and she leaned on Jiang Chi's shoulder as they returned to their little shack.

"Brother, are we leaving tomorrow?"

I ask every morning.

"Hmm." Jiang Chi nodded, then raised an eyebrow and teased, "What, reluctant to part with it?"

Chaochao looked up at the still empty spider web and sighed, "I still can't wait for the little spider to come back."

Jiang Chi: "..."

This kid is strange.

Before going to bed, Chaochao would talk on the phone with his father, grandfather, and brothers as usual.

Just as the call with Huo Qin was about to end, the little dumpling excitedly announced, "Daddy, I have a surprise for you tomorrow!"

Daddy probably doesn't know she's coming back!

Jiang Chi, who was standing silently to the side: ...Have you forgotten that you're live streaming, my silly little sister?

On the other end of the phone, the man calmly said, "Okay."

Looking at the little dumpling clutching the watch and grinning foolishly, Jiang Chi thought—

How could my uncle not know when the variety show ended?

The production company will definitely report it immediately.

That's just a silly kid.

After Chaochao finished her last phone call, Jiang Chi finally asked, "Who are those two older brothers?"

Chaochao looked up in confusion: "You mean Brother Jingcheng and Brother Yuci?"

Jiang Chi replied expressionlessly, "Hmm."

Chaochao thought seriously for a second, then raised her hand with a smile: "She's Chaochao's best friend!"

Hey buddy, looks about the same age as Leo.

Jiang Chi's brows relaxed, and he felt relieved.

After the light bulb went out, Chaochao was so excited about going home tomorrow that she couldn't fall asleep for a while.

The little dumpling rolled over, tugged at Jiang Chi's clothes, and said softly, "Brother, tell me a story."

Jiang Chi was a little sleepy. He yawned and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

Chaochao immediately opened her big, expectant eyes and looked at him, her eyes shining like the hot tungsten filament inside a light bulb.

"In an ordinary little town, there lived a little girl who sold missiles."

Chaochao blinked in confusion and corrected him, "Brother, she's the little match girl."

The one she had heard of was written by someone called Uncle Andersen.

"Yeah, pretty much."

Jiang Chi covered Chaochao's eyes with his fingers; the bright light from the device was keeping him awake.

"Not a single missile was sold today. It's winter, and the little girl is very cold..."

"It got so cold at night that she remembered her grandmother."

"So she ignited a missile."

"That night, everyone in the village saw her grandmother..."

Chaochao: "?"

It sounds similar to her words, but not quite.

Recalling the story her brother had just told, Chaochao asked in a soft but expectant voice, "If I light a missile, can I see Grandma too?"

Jiang Chi, who was almost asleep: "Then your brother can go see Grandma..."

After speaking, Jiang Chi fell into a deep sleep.

The little dumpling was left behind, propping its head up in deep thought.

system:"……"

Antoine's fairy tales are indeed for ruthless people.

The third day in Hongyao Village.

The recording of the first episode of "Liang Beibei" is about to end.

After the guests finished breakfast, they prepared to leave. Xiao Qing held Chao Chao's hand reluctantly and said, "Chao Chao, I will miss you so much!"

After only two days of getting to know each other, Chaochao quickly became the most popular child among the kids, and was instantly overshadowed by the older children.

"I wish I could turn a week into a day! Why does time seem to drag on so slowly!"

"Chao Chao, see you next time."

"Chaochao, you must never run off with a dog again."

Chaochao, finally finding a gap in the group of children, managed to say with difficulty, "I'll miss you all too!"

Xiaoqing felt increasingly reluctant to part with Chaochao, and turned to Peng Peng, asking, "Dad, can I take Chaochao with me?"

Peng Peng: "...What do you think?"

He's not a human trafficker, you know.

"I think it's a good idea."

Peng Peng sighed: "...Do you think Chaochao's family agrees?"

Xiao Qing: "What if?"

"No." Jiang Chi coldly refused, and Xiao Qing pouted and didn't mention it again.

Chaochao's older brother is so fierce!

Jiang Chi raised an eyebrow when he saw the undisguised resentment on the little girl's face.

I'm saving your lives, and you're still not satisfied?

When Chaochao finally broke free from her older siblings' enthusiastic embrace, Leo glanced at Jiang Chi and whispered in her ear:

"Chaochao, never eat your brother's cooking, especially his scrambled eggs."

The last time he ate that plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, he had to drink a glass of juice to cover up the taste.

Leo still feels lingering fear when he thinks about the taste.

Jiang Chi: "...I heard everything!"

Leo gave an embarrassed smile and quickly ran away.

Chaochao comforted the depressed Jiang Chi, "Brother, it's delicious!"

She tried hard to think, but the child's vocabulary was too limited, so she finally gave a fair assessment: "It tastes like an egg!"
