Chapter 117

Xiao Xuewei stared blankly at the girl's eyes, and in a trance, she seemed to see the beautiful and graceful lady again.

However, the lady's eyes were haggard and tired, as if they contained an indelible sorrow and melancholy, and only when she looked at her would she smile a little more.

But the pair of eyes in front of her were so innocent and lovely, carefree, and there was pure curiosity in the eyes when she looked at her.

"Madam? What do you mean?"

Xiao Lihua heard her murmurs, tilted her head, and asked with some confusion.

She felt that the strange young lady in front of her looked at her with a strange look, as if she was looking at someone else through her.

But...

this young lady is really cute and beautiful! Looking at her long ears hanging behind her head, looking at those soft and white fur, she wanted to touch them.

And she is a girl too!

The first time she met someone of the same sex who was about the same age as herself, Xiao Lihua naturally felt close to Xiao Xuewei, and her eyes curved with a smile.

Xiao Xuewei looked at her and felt that when she smiled, she looked more like the lady!

Suddenly she thought of something, and did not bother to answer Xiao Lihua's question. She turned her head and looked at Rong Heng next to her.

After looking at him carefully again, she finally understood where the familiar feeling she had when she first saw this boy came from.

Isn't this a replica of the Marshal?

Of course, it's not that their facial features are so similar, but that unique temperament, that righteous feeling.

Xiao Xuewei looked at Rong Heng, then at Xiao Lihua, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment.

Could they be the madam's lost children?

The Marshal of the Tes Empire is young and promising. He not only has a very high prestige, but is also deeply trusted by the emperor. However, this Marshal lost two children ten years ago.

Xiao Xuewei heard from the housekeeper that the two children were kidnapped. They thought it was kidnapping and extortion at first, but in the end they never received any letters from the kidnappers, so they could only conclude that it was the work of their enemies.

Even though the two children may have been in danger, they have never given up looking for them. However, in the vast universe, there are so many countries, so many planets and so many people. How easy is it to find two children? It was not

until his wife fell ill and could no longer travel in the universe and had to return home to recuperate that the husband adopted her, hoping that she could accompany his wife and make her happier.

I heard from the housekeeper that even so, Mr. Marshal has never given up collecting relevant clues, hoping to find the whereabouts of the two children one day.

Xiao Xuewei can understand their feelings. After all, she has just lost her father and mother who loved her the most.

Although she couldn't regard the lady as her real mother, their mutual understanding made their hearts close. They healed each other's wounds and their feelings gradually deepened.

Therefore, Xiao Xuewei felt so guilty when she accidentally injured the lady after going berserk, and she didn't complain when Mr. Yuanshuai sent her back to the orphanage.

She sincerely wished them good health and to find their children as soon as possible.

But now...

Xiao Xuewei's heart was beating like a drum, but after she calmed down a little, she realized something was wrong.

She looked at Rong Heng and Xiao Lihua, and her brows wrinkled slightly.

The age is wrong.

The lady's child was lost ten years ago. I heard that when she was kidnapped, the little daughter was not even a year old, so the lady's daughter must be at least ten years old this year.

However, no matter how Xiao Lihua looked, she only looked like four or five years old.

And her brother didn't look like a teenager.

Xiao Xuewei, who was originally excited and happy, gradually calmed down and was replaced by disappointment.

At this time, she also discovered the furry ears on Xiao Lihua and Rong Heng's heads. Then she remembered that Xiao Lujiao had told her that they were a pair of lion siblings, and she felt even more that she had made a mistake.

Because the lady is of ordinary blood, and the marshal, although he is also a powerful beast-blood warrior, he is not a lion.

The Tes Empire is famous for its avian beast-blood warriors, and the empire's marshal is a Saker Falcon, one of the ten most ferocious beasts. This is something Xiao Xuewei knew when she was in the Ashe Empire.

Such a powerful marshal, his child should not be of lion blood...

The constantly changing expressions on little Xuewei's face naturally attracted the attention of Rong Heng and his sister. They looked at each other, and then Rong Heng said, "Are you the new cub?"

His words brought little Xuewei back to her senses. She nodded quickly and tried to smile, "Yes, I'm the new number nine, my name is Xuewei."

Then she took out two candy boxes and handed them to them, "I brought gifts for you."

Rong Heng didn't want to take it at first, but when he saw the girl's eyes were slightly red and she looked pitiful, he finally took it.

"Thank you, I'm Rong Heng, you can call me Xiangyang." Then he introduced Xiao Lihua, and then looked at Xiao Xuewei, hesitantly said: "What happened to you just now? You seem to... know us?"

"I think I recognized the wrong person, sorry..." Xiao Xuewei blinked hard, trying to suppress the sudden surge of bitterness in her heart.

Although she knew that this pair of lion siblings should not be the wife's children, looking at them, she felt as if she had seen the wife and the husband again, and the longing and guilt for the wife in her heart were immediately aroused.

Xiao Xuewei tried hard to smile and was ready to leave. She was not suitable for making friends in her current state.

However, Xiao Lihua stood up from the ground, looked up at her, and asked caringly: "Sister Xuewei, you seem very sad, are you okay?"

The little girl's voice was soft and tender, but extremely sincere.

Looking at her eyes that were extremely similar to her wife's, Xiao Xuewei felt as if she had seen her adoptive mother again, as if she saw her looking at her with earnest care, making her feel the warmth of the world again after losing her parents.

When she thought that she had hurt her, Xiao Xuewei couldn't hold back her tears.

"I'm sorry..."

She reached out and carefully hugged the girl in front of her, buried her face in her shoulder, and sobbed softly, "I didn't mean it... I'm sorry..."

Listening to Xiao Xuewei's choking cry, Xiao Lihua was confused. She raised her head and looked at her brother, but he was also confused like her. Xiao Lihua had to

look away. She thought for a while, stretched out her little hand and gently stroked the girl's hair, just like her brother did when she was sad and crying.

"It's okay, I'm here." Xiao Lihua comforted her softly.

Her words aroused Xiao Xuewei's emotions even more. Her tears kept falling, and she couldn't control them even if she wanted to.

Xiao Lihua also felt her sadness.

She recalled what Xiao Xuewei had just said and spoke again: "You just said that you recognized the wrong person... The person you recognized by mistake... Do you miss them very much?"

"Yeah..." Xiao Xuewei nodded with sobs.

Xiao Lihua was in a dilemma because she knew that she couldn't leave after coming to the nursery, and no one would come to see them.

She thought for a moment and said, "When we grow up, we will go to see them together."

"They won't want to see me again..." Xiao Xuewei said sadly.

Hearing this, Xiao Lihua breathed a sigh of relief.

After experiencing the "death" of so many robots, in her cognition, as long as they are still alive, there is hope, just like 4583, it is now back by her side.

"No." Xiao Lihua vowed, "You are so cute and beautiful, they will definitely want to see you again, don't worry."

Hearing her compliment, Xiao Xuewei blushed a little.

She wiped her tears, raised her head and looked at Xiao Lihua, looking at those familiar eyes, as if she was talking to her wife.

"Really?" she asked apprehensively.

"Of course it's true!" Xiao Lihua nodded vigorously, "I promise you!"

If they don't want to, then she can just tell them to want to! Although Su Su said that abilities cannot be used casually, this situation shouldn't be considered casual use, right?

With her affirmation, Xiao Xuewei's mood finally improved, and she burst into laughter.

The other cubs who were paying attention to the situation here couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Red Flame Tiger, who had stood up at some point, lay down again.

It looked over here, and seeing that it was fine, it couldn't help but hum, but just when it was about to close its eyes, it suddenly stopped.

The little fat chick, who had been sleeping in Xiao Xuewei's pocket, was finally awakened. Hearing Xiao Xuewei's cry, it flew out quickly.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

It circled Xiao Xuewei and called anxiously.

The cubs were immediately attracted by the call. Xiao Lihua also looked at the little fat chick and was immediately conquered by its chubby, cute and soft appearance.

"So cute!" The little girl said with surprise.

Xiao Lihua has no resistance to beautiful things.

"Sister Weiwei, what is this?" She snuggled up to Xiao Xuewei and said affectionately.

When the little fat chick flew out, Xiao Xuewei's face changed, but she also knew that it was no longer necessary to hide it now, and she could only pay more attention in the future.

However, after meeting for the first time, she felt that the cubs in the nursery were all very friendly. They should not hurt Jiujiu, right?

"This is Jiujiu, my good friend." Xiao Xuewei stretched out her hand, and the little tit flying in the air gently landed on her palm and chirped at her.

Feeling its worry, Xiao Xuewei did not have the heart to blame it for forgetting her instructions and flying out again.

"I'm fine, sorry to worry you." She gently stroked Jiujiu's little head with her fingers.

The little fat Jiujiu did not hide, and squinted his eyes and rubbed her fingertips. His well-behaved and clingy appearance was so cute.

"Is it called Jiujiu? Why is it so cute? I, I like it so much!" Xiao Lihua said with a smile and enthusiasm.

Hearing her praise about how cute she was, the little fat Jiu immediately straightened his chest with a proud look on his face.

"Can it understand what I say?" Little Lihua was a little surprised.

"Well, Jiujiu is very smart," said Little Xuewei.

Then she found that Lu Jiao and Langze had also come over.

The little wolf cub stared at Jiujiu curiously, his big tail swaying behind him, obviously a little excited. He pointed at Jiujiu and said, "Is this a bird?"

Little Xuewei nodded, "Yes, Jiujiu is a tit."

"Bird..." Little Langze swallowed and murmured, "Birds can be eaten..."

As soon as he said this, he felt the surroundings quiet down, and everyone cast a condemning look at him, especially the two girls.

Xiao Xuewei just glared at him, but Xiao Lihua said directly: "Langze, you are bad!"

Langze blinked his eyes and looked at Xiao Lujiao with some confusion and grievance. Birds are indeed edible,

and he was not wrong... Xiao Lujiao sighed helplessly. Although the little friend was unreliable, he still had to teach him.

After all, Langze had a good heart, but he just couldn't speak.

"Jiujiu is Xuewei's good friend." He paused and said, "If a monster wanted to eat me and Xingxing, how would you feel?"

"Of course I would be very anxious and angry!" Xiao Langze said as a matter of course.

"Then do you understand Xuewei's mood now?" Xiao Bailu spread his hands.

This example is very vivid. Xiao Langze let out a light "ah", looked at Xiao Xuewei, and then looked at the little tit that flew to the girl's shoulder and looked at him angrily, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to eat your friend..." He said a little helplessly.

Xiao Xuewei has also experienced his carelessness, but in her opinion, it is better to say it out.

The cubs of Xiao Feichu who were caught in the welfare home before looked very friendly on the surface, but when Xiao Feichu relaxed his guard, his true colors were revealed.

Xiao Langze said whatever he thought and wrote his thoughts on his face. Although it sometimes makes people uncomfortable, it is better to get along with him this way.

Moreover, after saying it in front of everyone, Xiao Feichu's safety is actually more guaranteed.

Xiao Xuewei secretly glanced at the red flame tiger not far away, and she was vaguely worried.

She didn't have an opinion about Lielie, but she knew that cats like to catch birds. Although Lielie is a red flame tiger, he really looks like a big cat...

Xiao Xuewei thought about it and said seriously: "Yes, Jiujiu is my best friend. We grew up together. I already regard him as a relative."

"If something happens to him, I will be very sad."

She didn't say anything harsh, but her pitiful look made Xiao Langze feel guilty.

The most important thing is that she said the word "relatives".

For Xiao Langze, all his knowledge about relatives came from the lion brothers and sisters. He envied and yearned for such feelings. After Xiao Xuewei used this description, the boy's eyes changed.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt Jiujiu. Whoever wants to hurt it is against me!"

The boy patted his chest and assured.

In the green land not far from them, Xiao Zhengxing, who was hiding under the vines, had two small ears on his head.

He was just leaning out, as if attracted by something, but after Xiao Langze said this, the boy's body stiffened slightly.

The furry ears on his head moved slightly, and then Xiao Zhengxing shrank back.

However, the red flame tiger lying in the corner of the wall exhaled heavily from its nose, then closed its eyes without much interest, and continued to recite the mental formula silently.

In this way, Xiao Feijiu didn't need to hide anymore.

It jumped happily, flew around in the air, and soon played with Langze and Lujiao, not holding a grudge at all.

Seeing the little fat Jiujiu flying up the vines of the star chain fruit and playing among the leaves, Xiao Xuewei's mood also improved.

Maybe the knot in her heart was slightly untied, or maybe she hadn't been in contact with such nature for too long. In short, she felt better than when she just arrived yesterday.

And Xiao Lihua had already pulled her to sit down and was unpacking the gift she gave.

"Wow, this candy wrapper is so beautiful!"

Xiao Lihua felt that she was so happy today. Not only did she see the beautiful little sister and the cute Jiujiu, but she also received such a beautiful gift...

She was really so happy!

Rong Heng looked at his sister's smile, and his mood also improved. Although he was still surprised by Xiao Xuewei's performance just now, he did not ask the girl about her sorrow.

No matter what happened in the past, after coming to the brooding house, it was a new beginning.

After all, now that the brooding house has Su Su, everything is different from the past. Xiao Xuewei is very lucky to be able to come at this time.

Thinking of Su Su, Rong Heng thought of his mental formula.

Now he can recite half of it. The reason why the progress is so slow is not because his memory is really that bad.

It's because in the process of reciting, he always has some insights. When entering this state, it always takes some time to digest, which affects the progress.

Rong Heng glanced at the Red Flame Tiger under the corner, and a raging fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

He knew that Ran Lie also got a mental formula from Su Su, which might be different from his, but they were both practicing under Su Su's instruction.

This made Rong Heng unable to help but compete with Ran Lie.

No matter how calm his personality was, he was just a child under nine years old, and Ran Lie and he had always been opponents, and even had a "grudge".

Under this premise, he was even more unwilling to lose to Ran Lie.

So Rong Heng did not interfere with the social interaction of the two girls. After seeing them talking and laughing, he called out the base's intelligent computer again and continued his studies.

Xiao Lihua opened a candy, put it in her mouth with great care, and was immediately captured by the wonderful taste.

"It's delicious! Eating it will make you feel better."

Looking at the unwrapped candy wrapper, her mood became even better.

Seeing that it was just an ordinary candy, Xiao Xuewei felt a little sad.

Seeing that Xiao Lihua's hair was messed up by the wind, she said, "Can I comb your hair for you?"

"Okay!" Xiao Lihua agreed without thinking, and then said, "But I don't have a comb."

"Don't worry, I have one."

Xiao Xuewei reached into the paper bag and took out a comb from the space button.

The comb was not big, but the shape was very unique. It was pink and white, inlaid with large and small pearls, and sparkled in the sun.

Xiao Lihua was stunned.

The pretty bunny girl had already taken this super nice comb and started combing her hair. The teeth of the comb were very soft, and it was not painful to comb her scalp, but also very comfortable.

Xiao Lihua couldn't help but close her eyes.

"Sister Weiwei, you are so nice." The girl lay softly in Xiao Xuewei's arms, and her baby voice was very sweet.

Xiao Xuewei stroked her furry ears and felt her heart soften.

"Xiao Lihua, how old are you this year? How long have you been in the nursery?" She chatted with the little girl.

"I'm five years old this year, and I've been in the nursery... for more than four years."

Xiao Lihua had never played with girls of the same age, and it felt particularly interesting to talk to Xiao Xuewei.

However, Xiao Xuewei was slightly stunned when she heard her words.

She asked tentatively, "Have you always lived here?"

"Yes!" Xiao Lihua nodded, "Did you see that big tiger? He's older than us and has been here longer, like seven or eight years."

Older than her...

When she felt Xiao Xuewei stop combing her hair, she couldn't help but look up and saw that the girl's eyes were red again.

"Sister Weiwei, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Lihua was puzzled.

"Nothing."

Xiao Xuewei took a deep breath. She just felt that she was too happy in the past. Compared with Xiao Lihua, she really had too much...

Although Xiao Lihua was not the lost child of the lady, Xiao Xuewei had decided that from today on, she would take care of Xiao Lihua as her own sister.

She continued to comb Xiao Lihua's hair, and then braided a more complicated hairstyle for her.

When Xiao Lihua happily ran to the pool, she saw the result through the water and instantly fell in love with it.

She ran back again, blushing and said, "Sister Weiwei, your hair is so beautiful! Better than..."

Xiao Lihua paused, secretly glanced at her brother, and then whispered in Xiao Xuewei's ear, "It's better than my brother's."

Xiao Xuewei couldn't help laughing, "Because I learned it before."

Although she learned it when she was playing house with dolls, but... Xiao Lihua is much cuter than the doll, and she can smile sweetly, which makes her feel particularly accomplished.

"I want to learn it, too. I'll do it for you when I learn it, okay?" Xiao Lihua said, "We both want to be beautiful."

"Yeah, okay!"

At this time, Xiao Xuewei took out another pair of hairpins from the space button. When she saw the hairpins, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

The hairpins were given to her by her wife. It was the first time they went out shopping. She bought them in the store and wore them almost every day.

After being sent back to the orphanage, she put them away because she was sad every time she saw them.

She pinned one of the hairpins on the side of Xiao Lihua's hair, and then said, "This hairpin is for you."

Xiao Lihua touched the hairpin, and then looked at the one that Xiao Xuewei pinned on her head. She felt that this new little sister was like a treasure chest, and she could always find something beautiful.

"But I don't have anything beautiful to give you..." Xiao Lihua said distressedly. Her red flower hairpin had already been given to Su Su.

Besides, that hairpin was not as beautiful as the one Xiao Xuewei gave her.

"Brother said that we have to exchange it for an equal value, so I can't accept it." Xiao Lihua took the hairpin down reluctantly.

If it was candy, she could give her delicious barbecue and fruit as a return gift in the future, but such a beautiful hairpin... she really had nothing to exchange.

Xiao Xuewei just stared at her blankly.

Is this a coincidence? She couldn't help but think, because... the principle of equal exchange is also what Mr. always talks about.
