Her behavior was a bit strange.
His dark eyes held an extraordinary sincerity.
Without any hidden agenda.
Huo Cheng's heart softened for no apparent reason.
Hand her the oil paper package.
Those were meat buns bought at a state-run restaurant.
I had originally planned to make lunch, but I gave it to this young comrade who had just come down from the mountain.
Yingyue looked at the plump, white steamed buns, which were even bigger than the bowls she used to eat from.
She couldn't wait to stuff the big fish into Huo Cheng's arms.
I took the meat bun and took a bite.
Just one bite, and she closed her eyes in bliss.
"Mmm, it's delicious."
Thankfully, she no longer has her furry ears and tail, otherwise, those ears and tail would definitely be exposed from behind, swaying back and forth.
She was thoroughly enjoying the meat bun.
Huo Yan, standing to the side, was dumbfounded.
He stared at his brother in shock.
It felt like I'd seen a ghost.
No, it's even more exaggerated than seeing a ghost.
How could anyone dare to stuff such a fishy-smelling fish directly into his brother's arms?
Also, doesn't his brother usually not be able to accept even a wrinkle in his clothes?
Why did you let that silly girl put the fish on him?
Isn't he a meticulous person?
Aren't you worried about it getting dirty?
Huo Yan's eyes widened, his mind filled with a million questions.
But nobody cared about him.
In an attempt to gain attention, he forcibly shifted his gaze back to Yingyue.
"You've never had a meat bun before, silly girl. In state-run restaurants, it's a real treat that costs three cents plus an ounce of meat coupons."
Something this expensive must taste delicious!
"Huo Yan..."
Huo Cheng glanced sideways at his younger brother behind him, his eyes seemingly telling him that he was talking too much.
"Go and see Grandma."
The brothers came to the countryside today to visit their grandmother.
Today is my maternal grandmother's birthday.
The old lady wanted to come to this forest to collect herbs, and Huo Yan insisted on pushing Huo Cheng out to take a look, hoping to relax a bit.
Huo Cheng's leg injury from last year has lasted a full year now. In this year, although he hasn't said anything or complained, he has become more and more silent each day.
The Huo family saw all of this.
Huo Yan would take his brother out whenever he had free time.
Most of the time, you will be rejected.
Today was an accident.
Unexpectedly, my unexpected outing led me to an even more unexpected encounter with a lesbian.
Huo Yan responded with an "oh," still somewhat uneasy.
She whispered in Huo Cheng's ear, "Brother, she seems a little strange. Is something wrong?"
"Huo Yan!"
Huo Cheng's tone was displeased.
Huo Yan immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He forgot that although his older brother was only seven years older than him, he was actually a complete old-fashioned person.
He would absolutely not allow the Huo family to behave disrespectfully.
"I'm leaving, I'm going to see my grandma."
"I'll come pick you up in a bit."
There is a path in the woods that the villagers usually use. Although it is not very smooth, it is possible to push a wheelchair through it slowly.
Huo Yan left, still feeling uneasy.
Yingyue was eating her meat bun intently, her cheeks bulging out like some kind of small animal foraging for food.
It looks somewhat cute, and at the same time, it makes people feel close to it.
Huo Cheng didn't know why.
The man, who hadn't smiled since injuring his leg, now had a slight, faint curve at the corner of his lips.
After finishing a meat bun, Yingyue was no longer hungry.
Only then did she have time to look at Huo Cheng in his wheelchair.
Don't you eat fish?
She looked at Huo Cheng with curiosity.
Before Huo Cheng could speak, she saw her own teeth marks on the fish.
Although Pixiu believed that being able to eat what she had eaten would bring good luck.
However, I learned from the original owner's memories that humans seem to consider this to be impolite behavior.
She thought for a moment and then took the fish back.
"I'll go catch one that you've never eaten before."
The little Pixiu became a human on its third day.
We know we should reciprocate!
Huo Cheng stopped her, preventing her from splashing around in the river any further.
"Need not."
"I don't like eating fish."
"I see?"
There was a hint of regret in Yingyue's voice.
Fish is so delicious!
Why don't humans like to eat it?
Yingyue couldn't understand it.
However, she wouldn't force someone to give her something they didn't like.
She stood there, pondering what else she could give Huo Cheng.
Her auspicious omen?
How should I deliver it?
Yingyue thought about it seriously.
After thinking for a while, I came up with a solution.
Make more opportunities to connect with him and bring him good luck.
At this moment, Huo Cheng had no idea that the little girl beside him was a mythical beast that had lived for thousands of years.
He suggested that they go and report it to the police now.
Yingyue nodded, picked up her fish and the large meat bun she had never eaten before.
Huo Cheng held onto the wheels of the wheelchair with both hands and slowly turned it.
We slowly made our way forward along the not-so-smooth forest path.
Yingyue, who was walking to the side, looked at it and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Wait a moment."
She stuffed the meat bun back to Huo Cheng, then pulled down a vine from the side and tied the fish tightly to her back.
Then he used both hands to push the wheelchair.
Is this correct?
She pushed her wheelchair and asked Huo Cheng curiously.
Huo Cheng lowered his hand from the wheelchair wheelchair, revealing a somewhat thin hand with distinct knuckles and slightly bluish discoloration.
He lowered his eyes, met Yingyue's gaze, and softly hummed in agreement.
