Chapter 289 Setting Off Again
The time they could spend playing with their new friends was actually limited to a month. After that month, they would have to go back to their own homes and could no longer play together every day like they did now.
The limited time suddenly became a countdown, and every day of play was one less day available. Mao Mao cherished it immensely and wished she could accompany Su Fei to class every day.
Her studies progressed rapidly, which made her brothers very unhappy.
One morning, after Mao Mao finished breakfast, she wiped her mouth, climbed off the chair, and was about to run outside with her short legs when Lou Hongjian took a long stride and blocked her way.
"elder brother?"
Lou Hongjian crossed his arms and interrogated her, "Mao Mao, why have you been only going to play with Xiao Sufei lately? You don't care about us older brothers anymore."
"hold head high?"
"Tell me, how many days has it been since you last played with us?" Lou Hongjian counted on his fingers: "I went to see Sophie yesterday, I went to see Sophie the day before yesterday, and the day before that, she came to see you. Three days!" Lou Hongjian held up three fingers and waved them in front of her: "We haven't gone out together for three whole days!"
Mao Mao blinked her big, dark eyes and looked at him innocently.
Although Mao Mao often goes to play with Sophie, it doesn't mean she's forgotten her brothers!
After all, Miss Bailey didn't welcome Sophie when she had music lessons.
Mao Mao often goes on adventures with her brothers, and the four of them have almost covered the entire mountain. She has also collected many souvenirs, including beautiful stones, pretty fallen leaves, and several kinds of insects, and has taken many photos on the mountain.
But that's hardly enough!
Lou Hongjian squatted down, hugged his younger sister in his arms, and rubbed her cheek hard, deforming her soft breasts.
"Mao Mao, you can't be biased," Lou Hongjian said. "You've been playing with Su Fei for three days, shouldn't you at least play with us for three days too?"
Even so, he still felt it was a bit too little.
After all, Sophie is all alone, while she has three brothers!
Even if his second brother stayed in Haicheng, with one less competitor, he would still have very little time to himself. After all, his family still included his grandmother, father, five mothers, and a cat.
Mao Mao tried to burrow into his arms, but couldn't break free. She looked pleadingly at her other brothers, "Help me..."
Lou Fengju leaned back in his chair with a relaxed air: "I think Ah Hong is right too."
"..."
Lou Yansui chimed in, "That's right, Mao Mao, you still call your second brother every day to tell him what you've been doing and what you've been playing here, but you haven't gone out to play with us for three days."
“But…” Mao Mao said sadly, “Sophie said that after summer vacation, she will go home and Mao Mao will not be able to see her anymore.”
"That's why you need to create more wonderful memories, otherwise, it will be too boring to look back on them later!" Lou Hongjian said exaggeratedly, "I heard that you go to class with Su Fei every day, Mao Mao, this is summer vacation, who goes to class during summer vacation?!"
Mao Mao listened, completely bewildered.
Lou Hongjian swept away like a tornado, and when he returned, his hands were full of things. He hung her small shoulder bag on his body, which contained Mao Mao's beloved harmonica, put a straw hat on her head, and carried a water bottle on her back. This was her usual attire for going on adventures.
"Mao Mao, don't you want to sleep in the cave again?"
Mao Mao's eyes lit up instantly.
That's right!
Mao Mao even made a promise with Sophie that they would sleep in the cave again!
She immediately perked up, borrowed the cat from the old lady of the building, put a collar on it, put a leash on it, and went out with a proud and imposing air.
"Sophie—"
Miss Bailey opened the door again.
Mao Mao raised her little head and said loudly, "Auntie Bailey, I'm taking Sophie to sleep in the cave! We promised!"
Miss Bailey: "..."
An hour later.
The two families, fully armed, gathered in the center of the two villas.
The second time I stayed in a cave, I brought the same equipment.
Mao Mao walked the cat, and Sophie walked the dog.
A cat and a dog met. The big white cat hissed loudly and stretched out its sharp claws towards the golden retriever. Mao Mao pounced on the big white cat and pinned it down, while Sophie opened her arms to shield her big dog.
"Kitty, no." Mao Mao stroked the long fur on the back of the big white cat and said comfortingly, "You can't bully the puppy."
"Meow—"
"Mao Mao, do you really not want Daddy to play with you?" Lou Dashuai asked somewhat reluctantly, "Daddy has time too, and you haven't played with Daddy for many days!"
Moreover, today is a great opportunity.
Mr. Langdon was too busy with work to accompany Sophie out. Miss Bailey accompanied her instead.
Without that foreign devil around, and not having to worry about anyone taking his daughter away, Lou Dashuai was overjoyed and had made many plans to play with his daughter. However, when he went out, Mao Mao refused to go.
Mao Mao shook her head, her little face resolute: "No, I don't want Daddy."
Sophie also shook her head: "No."
Lou Dashuai's heart was broken.
He wanted to say a few more words to try and change Mao Mao's mind, but Old Madam Lou spoke first: "Since Mao Mao says it's not okay, then you shouldn't go."
"Yes," the first wife also advised him, "Mao Mao certainly wouldn't refuse you for no reason. You should stay home these next few days."
With no other option, Commander Lou had to give up.
After all, Mao Mao is their family's lucky star. If Mao Mao says no, there might be some danger involved.
But he was still wondering: Mao Mao never says no for no reason. What kind of danger is it? Everyone else is fine, but he's the only one who will get into trouble?!
Xia Xiaoxiang was also muttering to herself.
Why do I have to go?
She didn't want to sleep in a cave.
It's cold, and the ground is hard. Why would someone choose to suffer like this when they have a perfectly good house at home?
Mao Mao stuffed her little hand into her mother's palm and said excitedly, "Mother, let's go."
Xia Xiaoxiang: "Hey, here I come, slow down."
Fortunately, there were others who were even less able to adapt than her.
Xia Xiaoxiang looked at Miss Bailey walking beside her and gave her a friendly smile.
Miss Bailey forced a smile at her, as if to say hello. Her lips quickly fell back down, even lower than before.
Exploration?! Living in a cave?!
This is really not the behavior of a lady!
But this morning, the two little girls looked at her with bright, pleading eyes, and they also had Mr. Langdon's instructions. Miss Bailey hurriedly finished arranging things at home and had no choice but to come along.
Mao Mao, holding the big white cat's hand, waved her little paw and led the way: "Let's go!"
Sophie waved her little hand and said, "Let's go!"
"Meow—"
"Woof woof woof!"
