Chapter 18 You Are Not Almighty
"Zhizhi, what is that?"
The child lay by the window, looking curiously at the strings of broken beads outside.
It fell without stopping, bringing with it a noise that enveloped the sky and the earth, and when it reached the mid-air, a large amount of damp fog rose up.
The cat glanced outside and yawned loudly. "It's raining, meow. Doesn't it rain in your world?"
"rain?"
In this other world, not only the weather, but even the temperature down to the minute can be controlled by the Lord God. Therefore, Mian Li didn't need to bother understanding every single phenomenon.
"It's just... a weather condition. Just like the sun, it's all normal, meow." Zhizhi thought for a moment and emphasized, "I still prefer sunny days. Basking in the sun is the happiest thing, meow."
Taotao wasn't interested in their conversation. Ever since that brief escape, she hadn't thought of leaving home again. No matter how wonderful the outside world was, it had nothing to do with her.
Mian Li held her cheeks with her hands and tilted her head to study the rain.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Cancan had agreed with him that he would come to pick him up and take him home after the sun set.
But there is no sun on rainy days, when will Cancan come?
Zhizhi and Taotao couldn't answer, so the little god went to ask the only human.
Xiaohui held Him on her lap and played the voice message.
The computer made a sweet sound and said, "Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
Why did Cancan hide in the computer?
Mian Li was shocked. He flew around the cube back and forth, and even used his divine power to see through it, but he couldn't find the human hiding inside.
Xiaohui bent over with laughter, took out her mobile phone to take a picture of the scene and sent it to her temporary guardian.
Zhuo Can: ...
Then he added a line of helpless text: I finally understand why when I asked my mother questions as a child, she always told me that I would understand when I grew up - it was really impossible to explain to a little kid.

The rain didn't last long and it had stopped by the time Zhuo Can got off work.
Zhuo Can rode his newly bought electric scooter to pick up the children. Qi Rui just arrived home and picked up the car keys: "Let me take you home, it will rain soon. You can come and get your car when it's clear."
Zhuo Can rejected his kindness: "It's okay, it's not raining now, we can ride faster and get home."
It’s not that he doesn’t want to take a ride, but the little god wants to ride the donkey for a ride.
Zhuo Can looked at the weather forecast. There would be no rain for three hours, which was enough time for him to walk home. He would definitely make it in time.
Xiaohui was worried: "Did you bring your raincoat?"
Zhuo Can patted the basket: "It's inside."
The basket has been modified. Some things are placed on the lower layer, and little gods are placed on the upper layer.
When the sleeping ceremony arrived, the child flew over on a cloud, patted his head to extinguish the halo, and sat in the exclusive VIP seat.
Zhuo Can also stepped forward: "Goodbye, brother and sister."
Mianli waved to them.
The big and the small set off happily.
A few years ago, especially when he had just been admitted to university, Zhuo Can, like every other boy of the right age, had such a wonderful and pure fantasy of riding a bicycle on campus with his beloved girl on the front bar for a ride.
If the front bumper of the car violates traffic regulations, then the back seat is also fine.
If bringing people is also a violation, two bicycles are also fine.
Now I have a car, but I haven’t even seen the shadow of my beloved girl, but I have a little troublemaker in my car.
Not to mention that you can't hit or scold it, even if you hold it in your hands all day long, you're still afraid that it will fly away.
Zhuo Can quickly experienced the shock of becoming a father, accepted the addition of a little life in his life, learned how to be a good guardian, and was reluctant to marry off his daughter. The whole process took others more than ten or twenty years, but he only took ten days.
Time makes people grow old.
Spring evening may be the most beautiful time in a city, especially since Zhuo Can chose a small road without motor vehicles.
On both sides are small vendors selling strawberries, cotton candy, and flowers. The shouts are mixed with people's whispers, and the soft sunset hangs at the end of the street corner.
The child was light and strong, so even if he was carried in the basket at the front of the cart, there was no need to worry about his safety. Zhuo Can had specially modified the bed, making it soft and fluffy, and Mian Li leaned against it, peeking out of the basket.
For a little god who has lived in a tower all year round, the real world is interesting everywhere.
Other children were either standing on the pedals or sitting in the back seat, but Mianli was in the basket, and he was obviously proud of the envious looks from other children.
After riding for a while, I met some people who were taking their puppies out. They were in the same position as Mianli.
The dogs tilted their heads to look at the child, feeling as if something was wrong, and started barking wildly.
Zhuo Can was startled and almost couldn't grab the handlebars.
Mian Li was not afraid at all. His eyes were as big as copper bells, and he bared his teeth and claws and shouted "Wow!" He went back, looking ferocious enough.
The grinning dog over there immediately drooped its ears and let out a timid whimper.
Mianli raised his head and smiled triumphantly, "Lili, you're awesome!"
Zhuo Can looked at the boy's face from the opposite perspective and found it funny. Fighting with the puppy was quite in line with the nature of a child.
"Yes, yes, Kamisama is the best."
Mianli got a satisfactory answer and calmed down for a while before asking again, "Cancan, are you my breeder?"
Zhuo Can laughed: "Why do you ask?"
"It's on TV."
"What TV?"
"Animal World."
"Uh...never mind. I can be your breeder."
"Is it better to be a servant or a breeder?"
"——breeder, of course it's a breeder."
"Oh. So you're Lili's keeper."
Zhuo Can looked at Mian Li who was shaking his head in front of him and chuckled. Children are so easy to fool.
Win back a game.
They gradually drove away from the noisy commercial area.
*
As we all know, weather forecasts are not accurate.
When I was ten minutes away from home, it started to rain heavily without any warning.
Zhuo Can came prepared. He stopped the car, picked up the child, turned over the basket, and looked for the raincoat in one go.
But the piece of plastic he had seen earlier wasn't a raincoat, but just an ordinary plastic bag. He stuffed it in without thinking much, and even confidently told Xiaohui that he had brought a raincoat before leaving.
Damn, I was careless.
Zhuo Can unbuttoned his coat and tucked the child underneath, trying to block as much rain as possible. However, Mian Li was experiencing rain directly for the first time, and it was so strange that he didn't want to hide at all. He twisted his body, trying to stick his head out to catch some more.
Zhuo Can was in a state of panic: "Kamisama, stop... No, can you stop the rain?"
In the world of Mianli, calling the wind and rain is just a matter of waving your hands. It is easy and controlling the weather is not a problem.
He raised his hand, then frowned after a moment: "It doesn't obey etiquette."
Well, it seems that even gods cannot enforce laws across jurisdictions.
Zhuo Can sighed: "It turns out that you are not omnipotent."
"Um?"
"——But I absolutely cannot leave you." Zhuo Can immediately added in a flattering manner.
Zhuo Can felt a little regretful. If he had ridden faster, he could have reached his home. If he had ridden slower and was still in the commercial district, he could at least have entered a store to take shelter.
Now there is no village in front and no shop behind, with only bare trees and high-pole lights on both sides. There is nowhere to escape.
It was no problem for Zhuo Can to get caught in the rain. Given his bad luck, he had encountered this situation countless times since he was a child. The worst that could happen was that he could rush home, take a hot bath and drink some ginger soup.
But Mianli is still a child. Even if he is a god, his immunity is not that strong, and he will be in trouble if he catches a cold or fever.
(Can God get sick? Zhuo Can wasn't sure.)
He once again tucked the child's stubbornly outstretched arms back under his clothes, wrapped the little curly-haired boy tightly, and held him in his arms, trying to keep Mianli from getting wet in the rain as little as possible.
But the clothes are not waterproof after all, and sooner or later both of them will be soaked. This is not a solution.
A bus stop was vaguely visible in the rain, and Zhuo Can rode over quickly.
The platform is not big, and the rain shelter is also very narrow, not even wide enough to accommodate two adults sitting side by side. The billboards at the back are not airtight, and there are gaps between each billboard, allowing wind and rain to rush in.
Zhuo Can faced the billboard and wrapped the child in his clothes, trying to protect him from the attack as little as possible.
The human was already soaked. The temperature was already low on spring nights, and the icy rain made him shiver with cold.
Fortunately, Kami-chan is worthy of being Kami-chan. Even in such harsh conditions, her body is still warm.
It is really enviable for humans
Zhuo Can felt heartbroken on all sides, but the only thing that felt warm was his arms.
Mian Li himself didn't feel very cold, but he felt damp and uncomfortable. He reached out his little hand and touched Zhuo Can's face, startled by the coldness: "Can Can, are you cold?"
Zhuo Can's teeth chattered: "Not bad."
Mianli seemed to understand that he did this for himself. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up.
The little fairy twisted and turned to get out from under the clothes, the halo on his wrist appeared, and then he patted his head.
As the power shifted, a small circle of angel halo suddenly lit up, illuminating a small dark area.
Zhuo Chan stared at Him without blinking, waiting for Kamisama to perform a miracle.
Light golden spots of light surrounded the wrist, forming a barrier that immediately blocked out the wind and rain, preventing them from getting through.
Mian Li tried to open his small palms and covered Zhuo Can's face, and the barrier moved near him. The rain that had been unable to be wiped away before was now completely blocked out from the light.
Even though the little god's hands were too small and the effective area was limited, he could still breathe smoothly.
"Wow, Kami-chan, this is too..."
Zhuo Can was so amazed that he was speechless.
Mianli proudly shook the halo above his head: "Lili is omnipotent!"
The child was still upset about not being able to adjust the weather just now because he said, "You are not omnipotent."
Zhuo Can pinched His cheeks, his heart melting.
This is so cute.
Zhuo Can has had a really rough time recently.
First, his life took a 180-degree turn and he got a promotion and a raise, which was unlike him in terms of luck;
Then today, by chance, it rained heavily;
Now there is an energy-saving little sun drying him.
Everything started with the arrival of the Mian Li.
Ever since the fairy came to visit him as a child, his originally ordinary life has been brought into a completely different color.
I used to think that I had only bad luck in my life, but now it seems that I actually have some good luck as well.
Zhuo Can thought.
It went from monotonous misfortune to bad luck followed by good luck, and then good luck followed by bad luck. It still looks miserable, but I don't think so.
Because of you, I have this luck.
*
Their rainy road is lined with abandoned factories and is usually deserted, with only buses passing by every hour.
Then Zhuo Can saw a push notification on his phone, which had only 5% battery left: "Sorry to inform you that due to bad weather, this section of the bus route has been temporarily cancelled. We hope that the public will understand."
On the other side, the taxi app was still waiting in a queue of 45/60. Zhuo Can was very sure that his phone would succumb and shut down before he even got in line.
It seems like I'm more unlucky.
Just as Zhuo Can finished thinking this, a private car that was not very clear, but looked very expensive, drove over.
He was blinded by the glare until the car turned off its high beams and slowly drove into the bus bay.
Zhuo Can's first reaction was whether Qi Rui came to save him, and then he saw the car body that even Xiao Fu's friends could not afford.
Then what are you doing here?
Zhuo Can shuddered. Could it be that he saw Mian Li's halo? His eyesight couldn't be so good in the rain, could it?
Except to Qi Rui and Xiao Hui, whom he trusts the most, Mian Li's identity is still a secret, especially not to strangers.
He quickly wrapped the sleeping bag in his clothes again and whispered to Him, "Turn off the lights."
Mianli didn't know what was going on. He was unusually obedient. He turned off the power barrier and looked around with his eyes open under his clothes.
The car stopped next to them and the window slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome face that looked a little familiar yet not so familiar.
"Zhuo... Can, Director Zhuo... is that you?"
The man asked uncertainly.
Zhuo Can's brain froze for a while before he reacted.
Isn’t this the new CEO of their company?
Lu...Lu...What's that?
The author has something to say:
The little fairy is the golden finger of Chanchan
