Jiang Chi: "..."
Xie Jingcheng, Yu Ci, Pei Yushen, and Yu Ning: "..."
Huo Qin glanced at Jiang Chi, his voice like shattered ice falling onto a plate.
"Don't you have a mouth?"
"Thank you, Zu... Chaochao, the temperature is about right, leave it to me." Jiang Chi politely moved the little head that was almost kissing her to the side, and with his other hand, he picked up a meatball and put it into her bowl.
Then, the little head that had been moved away seamlessly took over eating the meatball in her bowl.
System: Well done, what a clever substitution!
"Ouch, it's so hot!"
Immediately, Chaochao's indistinct cries came from the bowl.
"..." Jiang Chi, feeling truly in the wrong under everyone's glares, softened his voice, "I'll help you—"
"Hot, whew—not hot, not hot, whew—"
He paused, then leaned down to look at the rim of the bowl and saw that even though the little dumpling's mouth was burned, it still pursed its lips and blew air, "whoosh, hah," and swallowed the meatball in the blink of an eye.
We can't wait any longer.
We don't need him at all.
Jiang Chi began to think about where the problem lay.
After finishing her steaming hot meatballs, Chaochao lifted her head from the bowl, fanning her mouth with her little hands, and turned to look at Jiang Chi curiously: "Hehe, what did your father-in-law say?"
The sweet, childlike voice had turned into a lisp.
When her brother asked her in confusion if she had just spoken, a small question mark appeared on Chaochao's rosy face.
Did she mishear?
With her tongue feeling numb, she didn't have time to think. She turned her head and targeted the milk next to her, picked up the cup, and gulped it down in one go: "Ha—"
The satisfied little dumpling squinted its eyes and breathed out a sigh of relief.
I want more!
Aunt Ning, understanding the unspoken message, came over and poured milk into the empty glass.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
While holding the cup, Chaochao suddenly noticed a small piece of meat that had slipped through the net in the bowl. Her eyes immediately sharpened, and she picked up her chopsticks and shoveled it into her mouth.
However, it seems that the movement was too forceful, and the bowl was pushed forward and slid, directly knocking over the freshly filled milk cup.
Yu Ning tried to reach out to support him, but it was too late.
Whoosh—!
The milky white liquid was poured onto the table.
Yu Ning's heart skipped a beat. She saw a shadow moving in the corner of her vision. She quickly turned to the side and stretched out her slender arm to block Chao Chao in a defensive posture.
But there was no harsh reprimand as I had imagined.
There was even someone who was faster than her just now.
Are you alright?
Almost the instant the milk spilled, Huo Qin had already taken a long stride and appeared behind them, expertly grabbing Chao Chao to prevent her from getting wet from the milk dripping from the table.
When Chaochao realized what was happening, her hands and feet were already dangling in mid-air. She looked around blankly, and when she saw the slowly flowing and spreading pool of milk, she anxiously reached out Erkang's hand!
No, no! I haven't even had a sip yet!
Jiang Chi quickly held the cup upright, while also preventing Chaochao from reluctantly peering down: "Hey, don't lick those."
Seeing that Huo Qin had brought up Chaochao more quickly than anyone else, Yu Ci paused almost imperceptibly as he stood up.
He had already left his seat, but now, carrying a towel, he strode quickly from the kitchen and calmly said:
"I'll handle this."
Hearing the commotion, Aunt Ning rushed over and said, "Xiao Yu, leave it to me. You don't need to do anything."
Yu Ci slightly turned her body to avoid her hand, and smiled gently to comfort her: "It's okay, it'll be over soon."
Xie Jingcheng, who got up at almost the same time as Yu Ci, noticed him enter the kitchen. He turned around, opened the refrigerator, and poured a fresh glass of milk for the little dumpling.
Despite his limited mobility, Pei Yushen sat at the table and continued to slowly and deliberately put Chaochao's favorite shrimp into her bowl.
The scene appeared chaotic, but everyone was doing their own thing.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Yu Ning snapped out of it and pulled out a tissue to help wipe up the milk splattered on the table.
Chaochao felt like she was riding an elevator in an amusement park, rising and falling. In front of her was a bowl of steaming food, and beside her was a freshly refilled bottle of milk. Her dad, older brother, and older sister were all sitting calmly in their seats.
The team's emergency response was so rapid that the person involved began to doubt whether there was something wrong with their memory.
What should I do? It seems like her ears and brain aren't working properly anymore!
The little dumpling, faced with a choice between shock and a desire for food, chose—
He ate rice with a shocked expression.
Her round cheeks bulged as her mind raced, thinking, "Strange, strange, so strange."
Even after Yu Ning landed, her rapidly beating heart showed no signs of calming down. She rubbed her burning fingertips together and smiled silently to herself.
It seems that with each day I stay, I love this world a little more.
She can't go on like this without earning a billion, otherwise she'll be too reluctant to give it up.
030 still doesn't know what this wicked host's plan is. She wanted to speak up and mock her for overestimating herself, but when she thought of the heartbreaking things that had happened to her, she kept quiet and shrank back.
...
After dinner, they all accompanied Chaochao for a walk in the garden to digest their food. It was originally Xie Jingcheng who suggested it, and Yu Ci followed suit and suggested joining in. Later, for some reason, the group grew bigger and bigger, and even Jiang Chi, who was too lazy to move after eating, joined in the fun.
Huo Qin leaned back on the sofa, processing the documents he had brought back from the company.
Chaochao put on a little yellow duck fisherman's hat, led the tall and handsome men and beautiful women behind her, and waved to Huo Qin in a childish voice: "Daddy, I'm taking my older brothers and sisters out. You stay at home and be good."
Huo Qin paused in his fingers as he flipped through the documents: "...Hmm."
You're just walking around your own garden, aren't you?
As a result, other homeowners passing by the Huo family's residence in the villa area would notice a peculiar phenomenon.
Behind the tall walls, colorful animal balloons, with "wise" smiles, floated and drifted around the house, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Today, Chaochao, who receives all the blessings, chose a puppy-shaped balloon and happily hummed a little tune as she walked at the front.
Yu Ci led the little rabbit balloon, Pei Yushen led the little tiger, Jiang Chi chose the little sheep first, Yu Ning took the little bee, and Chaochao's favorite Peppa Pig Consort was solemnly handed over to Xie Jingcheng.
The handsome guy with a cold face looked at the pig's head he despised the most: "..."
He frowned and turned his head away, preferring to ignore it.
After a couple of seconds, he frowned and turned back, forcing himself to suppress his discomfort as he stared at the pig's head with a gloomy expression.
Oh well, you'll get used to it after a while.
