Hmph~
Children get angry for all sorts of reasons, and Pei Gu, with his expressionless face, simply doesn't know how to coax people.
Unlike Gu Tingxiao, who is a domineering CEO in public but an invincible good father in front of Xiao Anman; nor like Helian Min, whose appearance is extremely deceptive and whose voice is pleasant, only needing to read a story to Xiao Anman when necessary.
So when it comes to coaxing children, Pei Gu really is one of those people who are at a loss.
If An'an were the kind of child who would be frightened by him, it would be easier to handle, but right now, in her eyes, Pei Gu is just an ordinary older brother.
So Little Mushroom An'an showed no intention of changing her expression back to normal at this moment.
Pei Gu stood and watched for a while. He wasn't good at handling this kind of thing, so when he realized that even if he tried to coax the person, he might not be able to make them feel better, he decisively abandoned this plan, which was not feasible for him.
Well, it's fine to just let her stay there.
I thought that An'an, who had turned into a little mushroom, would stay quietly in place. But when Pei Gu rolled up his trousers and went to the beach, the little mushroom activated its automatic location tracking system and came over.
Lifting the little dumpling, who was already soaking wet from jumping into the water, Pei Gu looked completely helpless: "What do you want?"
"Fish~"
Pointing to the sea, Xiao Anman had already switched back from the self-isolating mode of the little mushroom.
"Can't."
Pei Gu has his own judgment about dangerous matters, and he certainly wouldn't agree to let Xiao Anman do such a thing.
An'an's excited expression, which was originally about wanting to catch fish, quickly fell after Pei Gu refused.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but this little bundle of joy seems much more lively than when we first met...
Pei Gu looked at the little dumpling whose eyes were already welling up with tears, on the verge of crying, and felt a bit of a headache.
"It's dangerous here. You're just a child, you shouldn't come here."
His explanation was so methodical and logical, it would be strange if a child could understand it, given his own reasoning.
"Waaaaah~"
Well, upon hearing him say that, Xiao Anman's tears, which had been welling up in her eyes, quickly fell.
Her crying wasn't annoying, but it made people feel sorry for the child, wondering how anyone could let such a cute little dumpling suffer.
Now things have gotten complicated. Even Pei Gu, who was usually as principled as a mountain, has started to hesitate.
They even started to wonder if they had raised their voices a little.
Or perhaps I spoke in the wrong way, otherwise why would she be crying so sadly?
"...Then you should stay on the shore and not run into deeper water."
The little dumpling was crying so hard that Pei Gu simply couldn't resist.
With his permission, the little dumpling's face immediately brightened up.
Wow, that's quite a speed at which they changed their tune.
Because Pei Gu was worried about her, he tied a rope around her wrist.
The dragon cub, who had lost his memory but become more cheerful, found the game very fun, so he didn't refuse Pei Gu.
While sitting in front of the wooden house at night, roasting fish over a fire, Xiao Anman imitated Pei Gu, turning the wooden sticks while watching the heat.
Xiao An might not know much about the right heat for flipping the food, but she does know what looks like when it's delicious.
The firelight illuminated her small face, making her look vibrant and full of boundless energy.
Pei Gu kept a safe distance between her and the fire while his thoughts drifted away.
The base was destroyed, more than half of the soldiers were killed or wounded, Xuan Yin betrayed them, and they ended up here, with a little dumpling who seemed to remember nothing. The situation is really not good.
However, the little girl's family must be very worried.
Take Gu Tingxiao for example. Last time, with such a huge operation, if I hadn't sent the people back, Gu Tingxiao would probably have turned that city upside down.
But getting back is a problem now... Tomorrow, let's explore further out around this island. Since there's a house like this by the sea, it means this place isn't truly uninhabited. As long as there are people, there are ways to get in and out...
"Okay~"
As the aroma of the fish wafted through the air, Xiao Anman immediately realized that the fish was ready to eat.
"Um."
Pei Gu took the fish off the pole, put it on a plate, and then picked out the fish bones for Xiao Anman before giving it to her.
Perhaps it was because the fish she grilled herself smelled especially good, but Xiao Anman's face was beaming with the happy joy of a foodie, which made Pei Gu's expression relax as well.
On the deserted island, only a few wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys. 'Su Xixi,' who had drained all of Xiao Anman's power, felt that she was now worse off than dead.
Why did it turn out like this? Why?
It was the same abandoned chemical plant. Skinny Monkey and his companions had long since disappeared. 'Su Xixi' was in such a state that she could no longer walk outside.
To ordinary people, her current appearance is quite terrifying.
The skin was ulcerated, and the body emitted a foul, fishy odor from the inside out.
These things made her look less like a dragon and more like a dead fish, repulsive from afar.
The physical and mental torment she had been enduring these past few days was becoming increasingly unbearable for 'Su Xixi'. She curled up in a corner of the chemical plant, and her memory returned to the day she had knocked down those two clueless men.
Everything went very smoothly at first; she could even feel her damaged power being repaired...
