Chapter 22: The Twenty-Second Mom
Xiao Xia Youjie swallowed all the Curse Jade in one gulp, his facial features wrinkled up because of the disgusting taste. He actually wanted to stop, throw the Curse Jade aside, and use the delicious-looking mango sago and chocolate cake to cover up the suffocating taste.
But even if I stop, the Curse Jade will still be there, and the taste in my mouth will not go away immediately. It is better to eat it all in one go, just like drinking Chinese medicine as my mother said, drink it all in one breath, and then eat candy.
"Hmm..." After the last Curse Jade went down his throat and merged into his body, Xiao Xia Youjie covered his mouth, wanting to vomit but unable to.
Bai Chuanmu quickly picked up the Yangzhi Ganlu and brought it to his mouth: "Xiaojie, you have worked hard, moisten your mouth quickly."
After smelling the rich fruity and milky aroma, Xiao Xia Youjie felt a little better. After drinking a bowl of mango sago, he found it cool and smooth, sweet but not greasy, and slightly sweet and sour. He could smell the flavor of coconut milk and sago fruit, but he couldn't taste what they were. However, it did not stop him from thinking it was delicious.
Although there was no way to make him completely forget the discomfort he felt when eating the Curse Jade, after all, there were so many Curse Jade that it would take him a long time to eat without stopping.
But I did feel more comfortable. After eating the Curse Jade, other things seemed to taste better.
Xiao Xia Youjie let out a long sigh after drinking the mango sago. Then he picked up the small fork and scooped a spoonful of chocolate cake and ate it happily: "Mmm~ It's delicious. Mom is right. Eating something sweet will make you feel full of energy! I think I can catch another 100 curse spirits and eat another 100 curse spirit jades without any problem."
He also scooped a spoonful of chocolate cake and fed it to Bai Chuanmu: "Mom, this is delicious, you try it, ah~"
After Bai Chuanmu ate it, he nodded and said, "It's really delicious."
"Mom, would you like another bite?" Xiao Xia Youjie scooped up another big spoonful.
"Great~" Baichuanmu responded with a smile.
Although the portion of chocolate cake is quite small, considering the appetite of children, after finishing this, they won’t be able to eat much later.
So she did not refuse Xiao Xia Youjie's feeding, and the mother and son happily shared a chocolate cake. Xiao Xia Youjie seemed very happy, probably because he could feed his mother, which in his eyes was also taking care of his mother.
"Oh, right," Baichuanmu almost forgot something very important, and now he could talk to Xiaoxia Youjie about it, "Xiaojie, it's best not to reveal the existence of the curse spirit in front of ordinary people."
"Well, I understand that sorcerers are heroes who secretly protect ordinary people, but," Xiao Xia Youjie pursed his lips and asked in confusion, "Wouldn't it be more helpful to protect them if we told them? For example... when they realize something is wrong, they can ask the sorcerer for help?"
Baichuan Mu held his chin with his hand, tilted his head slightly, and sighed softly. In fact, what Xiaoxia Youjie said made sense, but... In addition to various reasons, the rotten oranges in the upper echelons of the magic world are also a major obstacle. Aren't those guys the best at internal fighting? Xiaojie must be hidden. Even if he will face them one day, it is better to wait as late as possible, at least until he accumulates enough strength.
"Xiao Jie, your idea is good, but... it's hard to realize, because the enemies of a sorcerer are not just the curse spirits." Bai Chuanmu raised his hand to rub Xiao Xia Youjie's head, lowered his eyes, and the light in his eyes became solemn, "There are bad guys among sorcerers... Xiao Jie, not only can you not reveal the existence of curse spirits to ordinary people, but you must also not let others know that you can subdue curse spirits."
"Why...why?" Xiao Xia Youjie tilted his head, even more confused, "Didn't mom say that my talent is very special and powerful? Wouldn't they be happy to have a powerful companion?"
"That's the problem. Your talent is too special and too powerful." Bai Chuanmu said softly, "At least... at least until you have enough power, hide it first and don't let others know that you are a curse spirit operator."
Xiao Xia Youjie blinked his eyes, his brows slightly twisted, as if he was thinking about the hidden meaning behind his mother's words. Although he didn't fully understand what his mother meant, he nodded and said, "Well, I will, mom, don't worry, I won't let others know that I am a curse spirit operator."
"Hehe~ As expected, our little Jie is smart and obedient, what a good boy."
"But, Mom...if that's the case, will I be unable to use the curse spirit?"
This is also a problem. Xiao Xia Youjie cannot not use his own power just to hide. If he does that, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Baichuanmu thought for a moment and said, "Not really. You can disguise yourself as a Shikigami user. If you are seen by other sorcerers, just say they are your Shikigami... But you'd better not run into other sorcerers, otherwise it might cause some trouble."
"Hmm..." Xiao Xia Youjie nodded sullenly, as if he was worried about this.
Baichuanmu chuckled and said, "Okay, Xiaojie, don't worry. Spellcasters are very rare and it's not easy to run into one."
Xiao Xia Youjie then nodded and blinked, but still did not ask the question he wanted to ask because he was worried that his mother would be sad.
Why did my mother hide herself? She couldn't let others know that she was a cursed spirit operator.
A special and powerful talent...but not everyone wants a powerful companion, because they will be afraid of them...just like they are afraid of their father.
Xiao Xia Youjie nodded thoughtfully. Is that so? That's why mom always emphasizes that dad is not a sorcerer. Is there such a factor?
Fortunately, Xiao Xia Youjie didn’t say what was in his mind, otherwise Bai Chuanmu would have filled the screen with question marks again.
Xiaojie, Xiaojie, you are better than Xiayou Jie.
Bai Chuanmu didn't think about it and didn't understand Xiao Xia Youjie's complicated look. At this time, the dish was served, and the delicious food she had been thinking about was finally here!
There was one adult and one child dining together, and they couldn't eat much food, but Bai Chuanmu wanted to eat this and that, and she overestimated her appetite a little, thinking she could finish all the food she ordered.
Earlier, Komori Midoriya had warned, "Xiao Mu, you may not be able to finish ordering so much."
"I can finish it!" Baichuan was full of confidence, but seeing that Komori Midoriya didn't seem to trust her very much, she could only add helplessly, "Don't worry, I will pack up the food if I can't finish it, so it won't be wasted."
Now that the food has been served, Bai Chuanmu suddenly realized that he seemed to have ordered too much without realizing it. Hmm... Bai Chuanmu still felt that he could finish it!
The silly beauty is inexplicably confident when it comes to showing off her fandom.
The first thing to come up was the garlic crayfish. The crayfish was not very big, but it was handled very cleanly, the meat was tender and delicious, and paired with the rich garlic sauce, Bai Chuanmu wanted to eat it with the shell.
She preferred spicy crayfish, but Xiao Xia Youjie couldn't eat spicy food, so he chose crayfish with garlic.
Eating garlic has many benefits for the body, such as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, lowering blood sugar, etc. However, Bai Chuanmu doesn’t like the taste of garlic very much, but she particularly likes garlic paste.
Xiao Xia Youjie was also overwhelmed by the fragrance. He didn't recognize what the white rice-like thing was at first, and was a little surprised when he heard that it was garlic.
Xiao Xia Youjie was not skilled enough in peeling shrimps and was very slow. Bai Chuanmu wanted to give him some shrimps, but he refused. It seemed that he thought they tasted better when he himself had them.
Before we had finished half of the garlic crayfish, another dish arrived: sweet and sour pork ribs. Each piece of pork ribs was covered with sauce, and was bright red and juicy.
Xiao Xia Youjie was eating crayfish with gloves on, when he saw another one coming up which smelled sweet. He couldn't help but reach out to grab it, then he got burned and let out an "ow".
Bai Chuanmu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Xiao Xia Youjie looked at Bai Chuanmu and made a "hmm" sound, seeming a little aggrieved. This sound was like a kitten acting coquettishly.
She picked up a piece of pork ribs and blew on it. When it was not so hot anymore, she put it in Xiao Xia Youjie's bowl: "Eat slowly, little cat."
Little Xia Youjie chuckled, grabbed the ribs and ate them in small bites, and listened to his mother's advice to eat slowly.
Bai Chuanmu quietly took off her gloves, picked up her phone and took a picture of the little cat. Before the little cat noticed, she put the phone away.
Hehehe~ The dark history of Geto Summer Oil when he was a child +1
Wait, how can it be called a dark history? Look how cute this little cat is!
Bai Chuanmu thought so and couldn't help but took out her cell phone again to take a look. Her eyes narrowed with smile. Hehe, her baby is so cute.
But her little action was still discovered by the sharp-eyed Xiao Xia Youjie who had just finished eating a piece of pork ribs!
He asked curiously, "Mom, what are you looking at?"
This cannot be shown to Xiao Xia Youjie. She plans to collect a bunch of such photos and give them to Xiao Xia Youjie when he grows up. It cannot be exposed now!
So she hastily moved her phone away and blinked innocently at Xiao Xia Youjie: "Mom didn't see anything~"
Xiao Xia Youjie pursed his lips, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself, thinking to himself: Mom, you could hide it a little better.
"Mom, let me see it~" Xiao Xia Youjie said coquettishly.
Baichuanmu picked up another piece of pork ribs for Xiaoxia Youjie with his other hand, trying to divert his attention: "Xiaojie, don't you like this? Then eat more!"
"Hmm!" Xiao Xia Youjie started eating the ribs again, as if he had completely forgotten what he was curious about just now.
Baichuanmu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had distracted Xiaojie's attention. It turned out that children were easy to fool. Otherwise, the gift she gave to the future Geto Xiayou would lack a "surprise".
Wait, why are there quotation marks? How can this not be a surprise!
However, what Baichuanmu didn't know was that Xiaoxia Youjie was so curious that he secretly took a look at the contents of her mobile phone screen.
It turned out to be my photo. It turns out that my mom really likes mine! I really like my mom’s photo too!
Xiao Xia Youjie felt sweet in his heart, and was so happy that he felt he could have three more bowls of rice!
"Mom, I want some more ribs! And rice too! I think I can have three more bowls!"
"Okay~"
The mother and son had a tacit understanding and both overestimated their appetite.
Although we finished eating the garlic crayfish and sweet and sour pork ribs, there were still a lot of leftovers such as stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, barbecued pork and roast duck, and stir-fried broccoli and carrots, which we packed up and took home.
Baichuanmu took Xiaoxia Youjie by the hand and walked towards home. They had walked this road countless times, but it felt a little different from the past.
Xiao Xia Youjie was jumping and humming a song. Bai Chuanmu listened for a while and felt that the melody sounded familiar, as if Xiao Xia Youjie had hummed it yesterday.
"Xiao Jie, what song are you humming?"
"I just hummed it randomly. Did I make it up myself?"
"It sounds great. Does Xiaojie have a talent as a composer?"
"Hey, it's okay~"
“Does this song have a name?”
"Well... not yet. I want to call it... 'Happy with Mom'?" Xiao Xia Youjie tilted his head and looked at Bai Chuanmu, swinging the takeaway box in his hand.
Bai Chuanmu also took the packed food in her hands. She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Why not call it 'Three More Bowls'? Didn't Xiaojie say he could show off three more bowls? But he only ate half a bowl, but I, mom, showed off one and a half bowls."
"Hmph, Auntie Xiaosen said that mom ordered too many dishes, but mom said she finished them." Xiao Xia Youjie snorted.
"Oh, hahaha, you kid..." Baichuanmu laughed and pinched Xiao Xia Youjie's face, "You are worthy of being mom's Xiaojie~ You are so cute!"
"Um, but... Mom," Xiao Xia Youjie pursed his lips, looked at Baichuanmu and said seriously, "The teacher in the kindergarten said that you can't eat too much! Otherwise, you will have a stomachache! Did you remember it?"
"Well... Mom will set a good example in the future."
Bai Chuanmu also pursed her lips. It seemed like she had "led the child astray" today?
"Mom is awesome! Mom is also a good kid...a good adult! A good mom!"
Baichuanmu: =. =?
Something feels weird...
Baby...as long as you are happy.
