Chapter 16
Visiting the kindergarten for a whole morning exhausted all of Xingnuo's energy.
He slept for more than three hours during his nap, until the evening when the sky was covered with fiery clouds and the fiery red glow illuminated the sky. Only then did Xingnuo climb out of the bed in a daze.
The gauze curtains in the bedroom swayed in the breeze, and a refreshing fragrance came in through the crack in the door.
Xingnuo put on her little slippers and walked to the living room. She saw her father watering the flowers on the balcony, so she walked over and hugged his calves stickyly.
"Dad~"
Chen Wen chuckled, picked up the little sticky cake dumpling with one hand, and teased him that he was a little sleepyhead.
"Our little sleep god Xingnuo is awake! Just now a guest came to see you, and you were sleeping in your quilt!"
After saying this, Xingnuo couldn't help but feel shy. Her little face was reflected like a layer of fiery clouds, and the tips of her earlobes were flushed.
"No, I'm awake." Xingnuo hummed and whispered in defense.
Xingnuo's bright dark eyes turned left and right, and he turned his little head away and learned to change the subject.
"What kind of guest is this?"
Chen Wen put down the watering can, carried Zizi to the living room, and showed him the gift on the coffee table.
"He is your other brother, Chen Yan. This is the gift he brought you."
There were several unopened gift boxes on the coffee table. Considering that the recipients were children, the appearance of the boxes was thoughtfully made in the image of the most popular cartoon characters.
Xingnuo recognized it at once, pointed at the box with his eyes shining, and showed his little teeth: "Cat Man!"
"Go open the presents and see if you like them."
Chen Wen put the baby down and let him go over and open the present by himself.
It was the first time for Xingnuo to receive a gift. She excitedly turned around the coffee table twice, put her little hands on the table, put her face close to the gift box, and wowed for a long time.
Chen Yan is worthy of being a monster who can open a company in the human world. He knows how to grasp the psychology of children.
He gave Xingnuo a plush doll of Catman, a set of sunflower-shaped stationery, a pair of cartoon co-branded shoes, and of course, what Xingnuo liked the most -
A beautiful little wooden sword.
The small wooden sword was custom-made by a professional teacher, modeled after Xingnuo's favorite little knight's sword, but made to be more suitable for children.
Xingnuo opened the box and saw a small wooden sword lying quietly in the box. His eyes instantly widened and he exclaimed in disbelief.
He touched it gently with his little hand and found that it was a real little wooden sword. He turned around and quickly showed it to his father.
"Dad, little wooden sword!"
Xingnuo wanted to hold the box and lift it up for his father to see.
However, the box was a little heavy and Xingnuo couldn't lift it, so he had to tilt his little head back and tug at his father's clothes with his little hands.
Shen Wen bent down following Xing Nuo's strength, looked down at the small wooden sword given by Shen Yan, and couldn't help but chuckled and laughed again.
"You, my brother, are quite good at giving gifts."
All of these gifts hit Xingnuo's heart exactly.
Look how fascinated the little boy is, even little stars are starting to sparkle in his eyes.
Xingnuo responded to his father's words and nodded his little head vigorously. His hair, which was curled up after a sleep, swayed up and down, showing his owner's excitement.
"A little wooden sword for the cub?"
Xingnuoke liked this gift so much that he tilted his little head and confirmed with his father several times whether it was for him.
After confirmation, Xingnuo's eyes sparkled like a galaxy, his little face flushed with excitement, and he stepped forward and picked up the small wooden sword.
The small wooden sword looks of good quality, but in fact the wood used is very light, and a child of a few years old will not feel tired when holding it with one hand.
The carved patterns on it are simple in style, and the overall design is a simplified and smaller version of a knight's sword, with a black gem embedded in the hilt.
There is also a similar gem on the silver sword held by the little knight. It looks shiny and valuable.
The gem on Xingnuo's small wooden sword is even more mini and cute, and so simple that it looks like just a touch of black light embellishing it.
Holding the small wooden sword, Xingnuo ran around the room happily with his eyes shining.
Whatever he saw, he couldn't help but gesture with his small wooden sword.
When his brother came back from school, Xingnuo's excitement reached its peak. He circled around Shen Baizhou's legs like a little top, jumping around and holding up his sword for him to see.
"Brother, my little wooden sword!"
Shen Baizhou lowered his head and looked at the baby wrapped around his legs, one hand still pulling at his pants on his thigh, his steps forward were completely blocked.
Shen Baizhou simply stopped and reached out to pick up the little sticky cake.
"The little wooden sword is quite nice. Did you buy it this afternoon?"
Xingnuo had just run too fast and was slightly out of breath. He paused for a few seconds, exhaled, touched the sword with his little hand, and generously handed it to his brother to touch as well.
"Dad, another brother gave it to the kid."
Shen Baizhou, who was just touching the wooden sword, paused with his fingertips, and suddenly raised his head. His black hair spread out in front of his forehead, revealing a slightly fierce and indifferent look.
"Who?! Which brother?!"
Isn't Xingnuo the only brother? !
Chen Wen brought the peeled apples and took Xing Nuo over. He sat on the sofa and fed the apples to the baby, adding:
“It was sent by Shen Yan.”
Shen Baizhou immediately got angry, his eyes unconsciously revealed a little vertical pupil shape, and asked angrily:
"Chen Yan? What does he want to do?! Why did he give Xing Nuo a gift?"
What does it mean? Why give Xingnuo a gift in front of him, his real brother?
Shen Baizhou has always looked down on low-level monsters like Shen Yan who are inherently weak. They are as black as a garbage bag and he can crush them to death with just one finger!
As a monster that has been at the peak of strength since birth, Shen Baizhou's expression reveals a hint of disdain for other low-level monsters.
Shen Baizhou sat down with a cold expression, grabbed an apple, and bit off half of it.
"Anyway, Xingnuo is my brother!" Shen Baizhou emphasized with a serious face.
Shen Baizhou had killed countless horrible monsters, crawled out of the bloody monster pile, and even had a tentacle broken off, only then he had come to where he is today and become Xingnuo's brother.
Why did Shen Yan do that? !
"He also broke a tentacle?"
Shen Baizhou frowned and muttered to himself in confusion.
Shen Wen looked at the extremely troubled Shen Baizhou and couldn't help but sigh.
That's really stupid.
Chen Yan's gifts have been delivered to your doorstep, why do you think that could be the case?
Moreover, every gift hits the interest of Zizi, which shows that he really put in a lot of effort and that success or failure is determined by the details.
However, Shen Wen was in no mood to pay attention to Shen Baizhou. He hugged Xing Nuo, whose eyelids were almost glued together after a tiring day, to wash and sleep.
***
At night, everything is quiet.
Even the most ardent night owls fell into a deep sleep, the flashing neon lights were temporarily extinguished, and everything in the city returned to darkness.
In the afternoon, a row of yellow and black cordons were urgently set up in the suburbs of Rongcheng East District.
It was announced that the road was under maintenance and temporarily closed to traffic.
Chen Yan finished his company business in the early hours of the morning, closed his eyes and sat in the back seat of the car, and was driven to the suburban villa area by the driver.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of the car stopping suddenly.
The driver in the front seat turned pale and said with a stiff expression:
“Boss Shen, it seems… you hit something!”
There were few cars on the winding mountain road in the suburbs at night. Although the driver was driving quite fast, he was always paying attention to the road conditions and didn't see anything in front of him at all? !
Shen Yan in the back seat slowly opened his eyes, lowered the window, raised his eyes to glance outside, and then looked back indifferently.
"It's okay, just a small rock blocking the road, keep going."
Outside the car window, the little monster that was hit was trembling and hiding in the grass. Its strange-looking body tried to shrink and frantically reduce its presence.
Oh my god, it just ran out of the copy and wanted to swallow a few humans to replenish its energy. Who could have thought that its luck was so bad that it ran into Chen Yan, the black-hearted monster!
In all the infinite dungeons, Chen Yan's name is almost a household name among the little monsters.
None of the monsters he caught could escape 007's "working life".
Chen Yan never likes to directly and roughly devour the monster's energy. Instead, he reasonably offers you a contract and lets you work in the company in his copy.
Of course, you can also choose not to cooperate...
However, those monsters that refused to cooperate never saw the sun the next day in the dungeon.
The little monster finally escaped from the space rift between the two worlds, but must not be caught and must go into the dungeon to work for Chen Yan, the black-hearted monster!
It was glad that it had escaped the danger. Its stiff body had just relaxed when it turned its head and saw a team of human psychics staring at it hungrily.
Little Monster: “…”
That’s all for today.
The resident downstairs from Xingnuo's house, the neighbor on the third floor, was wearing camouflage pants and black leather boots. He stood among the crowd and sneered. He raised his hand and waved. The psychics swarmed up and surrounded the little monster.
After a hard battle with the monsters for an entire night, the battle on the outskirts of the city ended at dawn.
The resident on the third floor had an untidy beard and bloodshot eyes. He dragged himself back to his new home.
His mind was a little slow from not sleeping all night. He stood at the elevator entrance and was just about to smoke a cigarette to relax when the elevator door opened, revealing a blond father and son holding their crying baby.
The little boy who had just met his father had wet eyes, as if he was angry with his father. He did not hold his father's hand, but just held his schoolbag strap tightly with his little hands.
Xingnuo wiped her tears with her little hands, sobbed a few times, and raised her little head to look at her father with a hum.
Chen Wen still had that gentle but distant expression, and deliberately pretended not to look at him and moved his eyes to the side.
Xingnuo felt completely aggrieved now. He sobbed and shrugged his shoulders a few times. He stood in the elevator with his head down, refusing to go out.
"The kid doesn't want to go to...kindergarten."
You have to get up very early, and... Dad said he won’t go in with you today.
In this case, the smart kid won’t go!
The user on the third floor put his cigarette behind his ear and watched the kid sulking. He turned his face away and huddled in a corner of the elevator, looking sulky and thought it was quite amusing.
"Don't you want to go to school?" the resident on the third floor asked with a grin.
Seeing the kid throwing a tantrum, the neighbor on the third floor, whose tense nerves after fighting monsters all night, finally relaxed. His tired look instantly became refreshed, and his tone held a hint of mockery, suggesting that he was just looking for a good show.
Chen Wen rubbed his solar plexus with a headache, and sighed softly after hearing this.
"Didn't Xingnuo promise yesterday that he would go to kindergarten every day from now on?"
Xingnuo stood in the corner of the elevator with his back to his father, his little ears standing up straight, and he shook his little curly hair wildly when he heard the words.
"No!" He shouted in a very loud voice.
