Chapter 136
It was snowing outside the window. Xingnuo was wearing a brown bear coat and a furry hat on his head. A few strands of curly blonde hair stubbornly stuck out from inside the hat.
He moved a small round stool and sat down, looking at the falling snowflakes outside, holding his snow-white cheeks, in a quiet daze.
Chen Wen made some scented tea and brought it over, along with two small cookies, then walked over and tapped Xingnuo on the head.
"What are you daydreaming about? Aren't we supposed to do the winter vacation homework assigned by the teacher today?"
Xingnuo officially started its winter vacation these two days.
He liked sitting at the desk and competing with Shen Baizhou in homework. The winner would have to tear off a favorite sticker for the other.
Xingnuo won many times and almost took away all the stickers in Shen Baizhou's hand.
Shen Baizhou has been unconvinced these past two days, thinking that if they want to compete, they should compete on the same things, and he will also write first-grade questions, so he will definitely win!
Unfortunately, Shen Yan glanced at him coldly and said "It's not shameful", which dispelled Shen Baizhou's childish idea.
Xingnuo shook his little head, holding his face and speaking:
"Dad, I had a very long and scary dream."
Shen Wen squatted down, rubbed his head, and comforted him softly: “Dreams are all fake.”
Xingnuo pursed her lips and was silent for a long time before saying:
"In the dream, I had two fathers and lived a happy life. But at the end of the dream, our house was bombed and my eldest father died to protect me and my father."
Surprise appeared in Shen Wen's eyes, and he wondered if the props were useless?
Xingnuo still remembers the copy he experienced this time?
Fortunately, the little guy was young and thought that everything he experienced in these copies was just a dream.
"But this is just a dream. You don't have a big dad, but you have a dad and a brother to accompany you. Isn't this good too?"
Xingnuo nodded and hummed obediently.
"Yes, Dad and brother are also very good."
But Xingnuo was still a little disappointed. When doing today's winter vacation homework, he would be dazed from time to time and made mistakes in several steps.
He looked at the math problem he had written incorrectly, sighed, and closed the homework book and put it aside.
Chen Wen has been learning how to make soup recently. After saying goodbye to Xing Nuo who was sitting at the desk, he went out to buy groceries with his grandmother downstairs.
Qi Yao saw Shen Wen went to the vegetable market and hurried upstairs to try to find out the news.
Xing Nuo let Uncle Qi Yao in, and saw Shen Baizhou still writing furiously in the study. He closed the study door for his brother, put on his plush slippers, and busily poured hot water and brought a fruit plate for Uncle Qi Yao.
Acting like a little master, Xing Nuo sat beside the sofa and said obediently:
"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. Uncle, have some water."
Qi Yao took a sip of boiling water and almost scalded himself to death, but he was still so moved that he wanted to reach out and pinch the little guy's face.
"Your father always has a cold face and won't even let me in. After all, we have been neighbors for so many years!"
Chen Wen refused Qi Yao entry every time. The only time Qi Yao entered was when he sensed the energy fluctuations and forced his way in.
Thinking about how he was treated, Qi Yao shed a tear of bitterness for himself.
Putting down the teacup, Qi Yao placed the small cake he bought on the table and told Xing Nuo:
"This cake tastes better when it's cold. It's said to be the happiest ice cream flavor in winter. Wait for your dad to come back and tell him."
Xingnuo said yes, then tilted his head and asked:
"Uncle Qi Yao, are you still here to ask me about whether I have a mother?"
Qi Yao felt a little embarrassed, but the energy fluctuations from the players that had appeared in Xingnuo's house were the most powerful ones Qi Yao had ever encountered.
If possible, the Minister of the Special Department still hopes that Qi Yao can contact this player.
"Yes, Xingnuo, aren't you really curious about who your mother is? Or how you were born?"
Xingnuo scratched his little chin and shook his head.
“I’m not very curious, and Uncle Qi Yao, I really don’t have a mother.”
At most there will be only two fathers.
Qi Yao let out a long sigh and glanced around Xingnuo's house. He didn't feel the familiar powerful energy, so he could only sigh and leave.
Xingnuo knew who Uncle Qi Yao was looking for, the transparent monster brother who was always elusive.
Speaking of which, this monster hasn't come to see Xingnuo for nearly half a month.
In the past, the other party would appear once every half a month at most, calling Xingnuo in a hoarse voice, asking him to watch his step or wear more clothes.
Xingnuo counted the days on his fingers and waited until he took off his thick winter clothes and put on cool short-sleeved summer clothes, but the monster still didn't appear.
Wen Xingxue's points ranking on the central city's player rankings also plummeted.
He hasn't appeared in the past six months, and no one has heard any news about him. All the players are saying that Xingxue is dead.
The lease of the suburban courtyard had expired, and when the staff from the central city came to take the house away, as soon as they opened the door, they were greeted by the pale and gloomy Wen Xingxue.
The atmosphere was even more terrifying than facing a monster head-on. The staff members were so frightened that their hearts trembled. After screaming, they took two steps back to look at him.
"Are you still going to rent this house?!"
The staff member shouted with a trembling voice and hid behind the door to watch him.
Wen Xingxue hummed, his voice as hoarse as a broken gong, and nodded.
"rent."
In the convenience store at the school gate.
Xingnuo was standing on tiptoe looking at the ice cream in the freezer. He smacked his lips greedily and looked up at the boss.
The sun outside was still scorching hot. The boss's forehead was covered with sweat. He licked his popsicle to cool down and fanned himself.
"Little boy, stop looking. My store's source of goods is the factory under your brother's company. He has told me not to sell you ice cream."
The last time Xingnuo bought ice cream at a convenience store outside the school, he ate two by himself. When he got home, he started to have stomachaches and had to receive intravenous drips for several days.
Chen Yan's business had recently expanded to the food processing industry, and he became a supplier to these small shops and supermarkets. He then called all the bosses and asked them to keep an eye on Xingnuo and not let him eat too much cold food.
Xingnuo held a dollar in his hand, wrinkled his face, pursed his lips unhappily, and said sullenly after a long while:
"I have money. I can buy one for one dollar."
The boss sighed and looked around. There was no one outside and the children who had finished school had all run home with their schoolbags. He rummaged through the freezer and picked out a very small piece of crushed ice for him.
"Hurry, hurry, take it and eat it, but don't let your brother see it when you get home."
Xingnuo put a dollar on the counter, happily took the popsicle, and went out while biting it happily.
The afternoon air was hot and distorted.
Xingnuo was walking on the road with his schoolbag on his back, licking the crushed ice reluctantly. It was almost melted before he had taken two bites.
Xingnuo cried out twice, watching the popsicle juice dripping down, found a trash can to catch it, squatted in front of it and quickly ate the remaining popsicle juice.
He was eating happily when a voice suddenly came from the air:
"Why are you so pathetic? Have you been picking up food from the trash can for a few months?"
Xingnuo was startled. The familiar voice made him stunned for a moment. His hand loosened and the popsicle fell completely into the trash can.
Xingnuo widened his eyes, not knowing for a moment whether he should mourn the popsicle he had bought with great difficulty, or be surprised by the appearance of the monster.
The monster's voice continued to sound, and its aura seemed to surround Xingnuo, as if hugging him.
"Long time no see, Xingnuo."
When Xingnuo heard these words, he felt a sore nose for some reason.
"What took you so long to come see me? I thought... you were dead."
Xingnuo couldn't help but cry a little, and looked up to ask the monster who was nowhere to be found.
Wen Xingxue looked at the little guy's red eyes, the crystal tears were about to fall, and she felt very distressed.
"Something happened to me and it took me a long time to recover. I came to see you as soon as I was sober."
Wen Xingxue wanted to pick up Xingnuo, but the props had too many restrictions, and he could only float around Xingnuo like a ghost.
Xingnuo lowered his little head and remained silent for a long time. He wiped his eyes and hummed.
"I forgive you, Dad."
Wen Xingxue was still thinking about what props she could use to hug Xingnuo for a short while, when she suddenly heard these two words and was stunned.
The huge joy overwhelmed Wen Xingxue's head, and his tense and cold brows relaxed, making him feel at a loss for a moment.
After standing there in a daze for more than ten seconds, Wen Xingxue reacted and nodded.
"Thank you Xingnuo, it's Dad who didn't do well enough."
It was different from the instance in which Xingnuo always sweetly called "Big Daddy". At that time, Xingnuo had a memory error and thought Wen Xingxue was the father he had lived with for many years.
Now that the little guy no longer has those false memories, he still calls him dad. Wen Xingxue seems to have an identity and is no longer a father without a name or status.
"very nice."
Wen Xingxue almost had a lump in his throat. For all these years, he had never cried despite the extreme pain brought by death, but the word "Dad" almost made him cry.
Xingnuo sensed Wen Xingxue's confusion, covered her lips and smiled twice, saying sweetly:
"Dad, can you buy me a cream ice cream?"
Cream ice cream is the most expensive and delicious thing in the eyes of children!
The last time Xingnuo ate ice cream and was hospitalized for infusion was because he ate too much of this cream ice cream.
Wen Xingxue, who was sitting in front of him, nodded decisively and said:
"Let's go! Buy the large portion!"
Xing Nuo turned around excitedly, hid in the corner of the convenience store, and pointed at the freezer outside.
"It's right there, Dad, you go buy it, I can't go."
If the boss recognizes him, he will definitely complain to my brother!
Wen Xingxue was picking out various props in the mall and finally found a psychedelic prop.
He used this prop to add a false memory to the boss, put the money in his pocket before entering the horror world on the counter, and took away an ice cream.
Wen Xingxue turned around and gave the ice cream to Xingnuo, telling him to eat less.
"This ice cream is too cold. You have a weak stomach so you can't eat too much."
Xingnuo said okay, holding the cream ice cream and walking home, biting it happily.
"It's delicious, Dad, don't you need to eat?"
The more Wen Xingxue heard the word "Dad", the more comfortable she felt. Her ears softened immediately and she nodded.
"Eat, but if I want to take things from this world, I need to pay something. I'll buy bread from the mall over there."
Xingnuo nodded, as if he had some understanding of Wen Xingxue's world.
"Have you finished the pear jelly I gave you last time? Let me buy you some more. Your throat is even hoarser. You must not have drunk it properly."
Wen Xingxue was about to say that she hadn't finished the drink and was reluctant to drink it, but when she heard Xingnuo say that he would buy her more, she immediately changed her tone:
"Okay, I will definitely remember to drink it well next time."
Wen Xingxue was so moved that the old father's heart softened.
