The little dumpling thought that only it could hear itself swallowing, but Gu Tingxiao and Helian Min had both noticed it.
However, when Gu Tingxiao looked at Xiao Anman with a questioning gaze, Xiao Anman did not ask for food.
Instead, it touched its smooth forehead with its little paws.
"Ugh, it itches."
"Where? Daddy will help you."
The ever-helpful Mr. Gu meticulously scratched her forehead.
"Thank you, Daddy, it doesn't itch anymore~"
The little incident passed quickly, and after the strange itching on her forehead subsided, Xiao Anman resumed listening attentively to the story.
The story was a bit long, and by the time Helian Min finished telling it, Xiao Anman's eyelids were already starting to droop.
"An'an, is it time to sleep?"
Gu Tingxiao lowered his voice and put Xiao Anman's exposed little hand back inside.
"Okay, time for bed."
When she's sleepy, her sweet, childlike voice sounds especially soft and adorable.
It was time to go out. Gu Tingxiao stood up and said softly, "Goodnight, An'an."
But Helian Min, who had put down the storybook, did not leave.
Gu Tingxiao felt slightly strange. Helian Min was not a clingy person, so she wouldn't stay here and refuse to leave.
Helian Min raised her hand and touched Xiao Anman's forehead, gently stroking it.
What's the meaning?
Gu Tingxiao stepped forward to look at the place Helian Min was touching.
Two round, antenna-like things appeared on Xiao Anman's forehead, which had been smooth just moments before, after Helian Min removed her hand.
It is still semi-transparent.
Although I had already guessed that Xiao Anman was not an ordinary human, seeing this scene with my own eyes was still quite shocking.
Xiao Anman had already fallen asleep instantly, completely unaware of the two translucent tentacles that had appeared on her forehead.
The two translucent tentacles are still growing.
Under the watchful eyes of Helian Min and Gu Tingxiao, the two translucent horns quickly took shape.
It appears to be a pair of deer antlers.
However, the antlers were small and cute, and seemed fragile and easily broken, making Gu Tingxiao and Helian Min hesitant to touch them.
The fact that they weren't human babies was unbelievable, but after a brief moment of surprise, Helian Min and Gu Tingxiao were clearly charmed by the two new little horns that had sprouted on Xiao Anman.
Because these corners can move.
Xiao An was breathing very lightly, and would occasionally move slightly.
It's like jelly, with a bouncy and chewy texture.
But new problems soon arose.
Will An An and her partner always be like this?
How will she go out in the future? We can't just keep her in the attic like Rapunzel.
Although both Helian Min and Gu Tingxiao have the ability, who raises children like this nowadays?
Mr. Gu, the elderly father, was stumped.
Helian Min's eyes were probing as she tried to press the skin next to Xiao Anman's corner.
It felt no different from a normal forehead; it was as if a pair of horns had simply grown out of nowhere.
These two tender little horns are harmless to both others and An An herself.
"itch……"
Xiao Anman, who was already asleep, mumbled something with her eyes closed.
The little hand placed next to her face found the dragon horns on its own.
The protruding dragon horns were not warm to the touch; they felt icy cold.
Xiao Anman felt something was strange while she was sleeping.
What is this?
Touching the base of the dragon horns, the little claws tried to pry them open.
The elderly father, Gu Tingxiao, and his newly appointed elder brother, Helian Min, watched with trepidation.
Because these dragon horns looked so delicate and fragile, and Xiao Anman was fast asleep and didn't seem to realize what was happening...
Just as Gu Tingxiao and Helian Min were getting further and further away from their thoughts, Xiao Anman felt that she had no way to break off this cold, foreign object.
Hmph, what a joke.
Xiao Anman patted the dragon's horns and muttered under her breath, "How annoying..."
Then, the newly grown dragon horns disappeared in a pitiful state because their sleeping master disliked them.
It undergoes a process of change when it grows, but it disappears in the blink of an eye.
It was like magic.
Gu Tingxiao and Helian Min stayed by the side for a long time, but after the dragon horn disappeared, no further changes occurred to Xiao Anman.
The two people who had been watching over Xiao An for most of the night finally left.
In the corridor, a man with deep-set eyes and a chiseled face said in a deep voice, "This is the first time."
This was the first unusual change that Xiao Anman had shown him.
This also serves as a reminder to Helian Min of the secrecy surrounding this matter.
"So it might not be the last time."
This was the first time this had ever happened to them.
But aside from their worries about Xiao Anman, they all knew that if this change in Xiao Anman were shown to anyone other than them, and if it were exposed by someone with ulterior motives, then there would be an overwhelming flood of reports and suspicions, strange looks from the world, and the pursuit of those seeking the exotic...
It's very possible that Xiao Anman will become a research subject that laboratories will fight over...
All sorts of terrible and unpleasant ideas raced through Gu Tingxiao and Helian Min's minds.
What do you think that is?
When Gu Tingxiao thought of Xiao Anman's two trembling, translucent horns on her forehead, the first thing that came to mind was deer antlers.
But if you say that Xiao Anman's true form is deer antlers, then something seems off.
Helian Min remained silent for a moment, and then an answer suddenly came to mind.
Dragon horns.
Although it didn't match up perfectly, this was the only answer in Helian Min's mind at that moment.
