Chapter 88
The autumn sun is bright, but less scorching than the scorching sun. When it shines on people, it is so warm that it seems to melt them.
Xingnuo came out of the kindergarten carrying a small schoolbag, and jumped into his father's arms.
"Dad." Xingnuo tilted his little face up, hugged his father's legs, and rubbed them with intimacy and trust.
Shen Wen and the busy teacher Xiao Song greeted each other, picked up Xing Nuo, and rubbed his forehead with the tip of his nose.
"Did Xingnuo eat lunch obediently at kindergarten today?"
Xingnuo blinked her watery eyes, leaned on her father's shoulder, pretended to be busy looking around, and just didn't answer her father.
"Dad, can you please take the baby home earlier next time?"
Xingnuo looked at the kindergarten gradually going away, and tilted his little head towards his father with anticipation.
Chen Wen chuckled softly, his smile gentle, and pinched Xingnuo's little nose.
"Why didn't you eat your lunch properly and asked your dad to pick you up early?"
Xingnuo stopped talking this time, hid his little head in his father's arms, and muttered softly:
"If you don't take the baby home earlier, the baby will be angry."
Chen Wen ignored the little guy pretending to be angry, and walked slowly towards home while holding Xing Nuo, who was pouting like a pufferfish.
While taking the elevator, Xingnuo ran into his neighbor uncle who lived on the third floor.
My uncle looked like he hadn't slept for several days. His beard was unshaven, his expression was dazed, and his clothes were wrinkled.
Seeing Xingnuo, Uncle Qi Yao from the third floor wiped his face hard, sobered up a little, squatted down and pinched Xingnuo's little face.
“Isn’t this my little neighbor Xingnuo?”
Xingnuo avoided his uncle's calloused hands, hid his head behind his father, and glanced at Uncle Qi Yao with a slightly accusing look in his eyes.
Qi Yao liked to tease Xing Nuo very much. Every time he made the child so angry that his little white teeth were bared, he would laugh wildly.
"Okay, uncle brought you something."
This time, Qi Yao led a team to the neighboring city to resolve an emergency abnormal incident. He hadn't closed his eyes for several days and his abdomen was injured, with a large area of redness and swelling.
But he still brought a small gift for his little neighbor on his way back.
This is a very famous internet-famous cake shop in the next city. The small apple cakes there are very popular among children and girls.
When Qi Yao saw this bright red, round little apple on the roadside, he couldn't help but think of his little neighbor Xingnuo's sunburned face.
It is round and rosy, very well-behaved and cute.
Qi Yao queued up to buy one, planning to give it to his little neighbor when he got home.
Xingnuo saw the small apple-shaped cake in the transparent cake shell, and his little head popped out, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Little Apple."
Qi Yao greeted Shen Wen and handed him the apple cake.
"It's a small apple cake. The girls in line said it's sour and sweet, very suitable for children."
Shen Wen's face seemed gentle, but there was a sense of alienation in his eyes. He nodded slightly and accepted the kindness.
"Xingnuo thanks uncle."
Xingnuo raised his little face and thanked him obediently.
Qi Yao looked at Xingnuo's wet little eyes, and like a kitten, he stretched out his big hand and rubbed his head hard.
Under the angry eyes of his little neighbor Xingnuo, Qi Yao walked out of the elevator door with a smile.
After seeing Qi Yao leave, Chen Wen's slightly cold expression faded away, and he touched Xing Nuo who was covering his little head unhappily.
"Go back and eat some cake."
Xing Nuo nodded and snorted softly, "Uncle Qi is sometimes very bad, and sometimes very good."
Shen Wen's beautiful lips curled up and he said, "So is Uncle Qi a good guy or a bad guy?"
Xingnuo scratched his little face, looked at the little apple cake, and sighed softly.
“Then there should be more good places.”
Chen Wen cut a small half of the apple cake, placed it on a paper plate and handed it to Xing Nuo.
"Dad has to go downstairs to get something. Xingnuo eats the cake obediently and waits for Dad to come back."
Xing Nuo nodded, swung his short legs and sat on the sofa, and said softly:
"I'm sitting here, not moving around at all."
Shen Wen kissed Xing Nuo's forehead, locked the door, and took the elevator downstairs.
Xingnuo propped up his little face, tilted his head to look at the small cake on the paper plate, and poked it with a small fork.
The apple cake only looks like an apple, with normal cream and cake base inside.
Xingnuo squatted in front of the coffee table and took a sip of the sweet cream. His little curly hair curled up happily and swayed on the top of his head.
He used a fork to score two lines on the cake and muttered:
"This is for dad, and this is for brother."
The eldest brother Chen Yan did not live with them and was always in the company. Sometimes he would only show up once every few days. Xingnuo was afraid that the cake would go bad, so she did not save any for him.
After drawing the line, Xingnuo poked his own piece attentively with a small fork, with sweet cream in his mouth and twinkling little stars in his eyes.
Xingnuo was enjoying the cake happily when he suddenly heard someone calling him in the air.
"Who is it?"
Xingnuo's little eyes were full of vigilance. He stood up with a small fork in his hand, with a stain of cream at the corner of his mouth.
Wen Xingxue, who could not touch Xingnuo or reveal her figure in the air, stood beside the coffee table, looking down at Xingnuo, whose whole body seemed to exude the sweet scent of cakes.
"It's me... That's right, you probably don't remember me now."
Every time they came out of the copy, Chen Wen and the others would always use props to erase Xingnuo's memory.
There was a hint of fatigue in Wen Xingxue's eyes at this moment.
He had just come out of a copy, his body covered in blood, his clothes torn, and his already pale face looked even more gloomy and pale.
The knife in his hand was still dripping blood. Wen Xingxue wiped the blood clean with his sleeve, fearing that the dripping sound would scare Xingnuo.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Wen Xingxue looked at Xingnuo, who had grown a lot taller. The sinister look in his eyes slowly dissipated, as if the winter snow had melted, leaving only a little indelible warmth.
"Is Xingnuo eating cake? You seem to like eating sweet things."
Just like the cloud bread before, the little guy had been thinking about it for a long time in the copy.
Xingnuo opened his mouth slightly, his eyes were blank, and he tilted his head to look left and right.
"Who are you? Are you a monster?"
Wen Xingxue supported her chin and watched the little guy spinning in circles, but still couldn't find the source of the sound, and couldn't help laughing.
"I'm not a monster. If I had to, I might be your father."
When these words were spoken, Xingnuo, who was looking for monsters on the spot, was so scared that his eyes widened.
"No way! My dad has long blond hair and is very gentle!"
Xingnuo held up the small fork in his hand, his face tense, and said seriously:
"Don't try to fool me. I'm already a senior kid. I won't be fooled!"
The six-year-old Xingnuo has improved a lot. He speaks clearly and logically and can no longer be fooled easily.
Wen Xingxue spent more than a year on a high-difficulty copy and missed Xingnuo's growth.
Seeing Xingnuo, who had grown so much taller from three heads to five heads tall, Wen Xingxue inexplicably felt a moment of loneliness and relief.
"I won't lie. After all, blood relationship is a very magical thing."
The first time Wen Xingxue saw Xingnuo in the castle, she thought this little thing was very cute.
A small ball, with fever and red cheeks, running around in the corridor in a daze.
This was the first time that Wen Xingxue was soft-hearted. Even though she knew that Xingnuo was Shen Wen's son, she still used the advanced healing spray to treat the little guy.
Sometimes when she was injured, Wen Xingxue might not even use spray to treat herself.
When she saw the clown doll again, even though it was so ugly that it was unbearable to look at, Wen Xingxue still thought it was cute.
Wen Xingxue went through so many complicated copies, and only tested Chen Wen once, and then he traced back to the truth.
This feeling is really wonderful. Even though there is no evidence at all, Wen Xingxue is extremely sure.
Xingnuo must be related to me by blood!
Wen Xingxue stretched out her hand in the air, touched the little guy's angry face, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
"Too bad you have another dad."
Why did it have to be this damn thing called Chen Wen?
When Wen Xingxue thought of Chen Wen's dazzling golden long hair and his cold eyes that seemed to be looking at a dead object, she felt inexplicably itchy.
Having killed herself so many times, Wen Xingxue wished she could also let Chen Wen taste what death felt like.
Wen Xingxue took a deep breath and thought to himself that he would wait until he finished those monster copies.
When the time comes, he will kill Chen Wen and take Xing Nuo away from here.
The prop time was almost up, and before leaving, Wen Xingxue reached out and gently wiped the cream from the corner of Xingnuo's mouth.
"Little one, I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you next time."
The little hair on Xingnuo's head stood up alertly. He turned around and looked in the direction of Wen Xingxue who was slowly disappearing in the air, and raised his little fork defensively.
"Ha! I'm not afraid of you!"
Facing a ball of air, Xingnuo held up a small fork, clenched his fists, and threw a set of punches.
"I'm awesome! I'm not even the last in running!"
Being fifth from the bottom is also something to be proud of!
Xingnuo fought around for a while, then thought of something and ran back to the bedroom to take out his small wooden sword.
After getting into position, Xingnuo let out a huh, raised the small wooden sword and poked at the air.
When Xingnuo found that the monster had stopped making any sound, he snorted and put away the small wooden sword.
"I beat the bad guy away!"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xingnuo was about to put the small wooden sword back into the bedroom when he heard the voice of his uncle on the third floor outside the door.
"Xingnuo? Are you at home?"
For the sake of the small cake Uncle Qi Yao gave her, Xing Nuo ran over and answered while standing at the door.
"Uncle Qi, I'm at home."
Qi Yao's heart tightened when he heard this, and he knocked on the door and said:
"Open the door for uncle!"
When Qi Yao returned home to take a shower, he felt a powerful energy fluctuation coming from upstairs.
This energy was very strange, and different from the previous abnormal monsters. The overwhelming pressure made Qi Yao stunned for a moment, then he put on his clothes and pants and ran upstairs.
Xingnuo scratched his little face and was about to say that his daddy wouldn't let him open the door for other people.
Chen Wen, who happened to be out, came back with something in his hand. He walked to the door at an unhurried pace and looked at Qi Yao who was standing at the door of his house.
"Mr. Qi? What are you doing at my doorstep?"
Chen Wen opened the door and caught Xing Nuo who rushed over. When he looked up, he saw Qi Yao had rushed in first, frowning and looking around for something.
"This is weird! Why is it gone again?!"
Qi Yao walked around the living room, feeling the dissipating wave energy, and was surprised.
Why does this energy look so much like human superpowers?
As the captain of the superpower team, Qi Yao is very familiar with the fluctuations of superpowers.
But the question is, how could there be fluctuations in supernatural powers in Xingnuo's home?
Qi Yao's gaze inevitably fell on Xing Nuo, who was holding a small wooden sword and chattering to his father about how powerful he was.
Could it be that...
But there has never been a precedent of a child awakening superpowers before!
"... I just raised my sword and drove the monster away!"
Xingnuo raised his face, with a little pride on his rosy cheeks.
Chen Wen praised Xing Nuo as usual, touched his head, and glanced at Qi Yao who was standing in the living room in deep thought.
"Mr. Qi, what are you doing in my living room?"
Qi Yao was awakened by Shen Wen's cold words. He said "oh" and quickly came back to his senses.
"Well, let me take a look at the layout of your house, haha, the decoration is really nice, this small coffee table looks very suitable for Xingnuo."
Qi Yao made up an excuse, scratched his head, walked to the door, and couldn't help but test Xingnuo.
"Xingnuo, have you felt that your appetite has increased recently, or that small flames or water droplets suddenly appeared on your fingertips?"
The most common natural elemental powers and body enhancement powers have the typical characteristics of an increased appetite and physical fitness far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Xingnuo heard Uncle Qi's words, glanced at his father, and hurriedly said:
"I eat a lot at noon every day!"
Chen Wen thought of the list of students who didn't eat well that the teacher sent in the group, and Xingnuo was on the list every time, and he couldn't help but sneer.
"Then why were the spareribs given to other children at noon today?"
Xingnuo hung his head for a moment, not daring to say anything. He hummed twice and then whispered:
"The meat is greasy and not tasty."
Shen Wen sighed with a headache, turned his head and glanced at Qi Yao with a cold expression.
"If anyone can make Xingnuo's appetite increase, I will praise him as a miracle doctor."
Qi Yao frowned and asked again, not giving up:
"Really? Or has Xingnuo discovered anything strange recently?"
Xingnuo ran back to the small coffee table, glanced at his father secretly, and shook his head slightly.
“No.”
No matter what kind of strange youkai or monster it is, it will be driven away by the powerful Xingnuo!
Qi Yao touched his chin and couldn't help showing some confusion on his face.
But seeing that Chen Wen looked worried, he could only laugh it off and leave for the time being.
After returning home, Qi Yao lay on the bed thinking over and over again, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
