But after all, he's a good friend, and I can't just stand by and watch him flirt with danger on the verge of getting beaten up.
So, while giving him two mutated bird eggs the size of chicken eggs, he lectured him in an adult tone:
"Youyou, stealing is wrong!"
Youyou happily accepted the bird egg from Zhao Xiaoxiu, saying, "Thank you, Xiaoxiu."
Then he added, "But we just stole the child of the mutated bird."
Zhao Xiaoxiu shook her head. "It's different. These are all gifts from nature, so it's not stealing. Anyway, you can't steal your mother's gun; that's too dangerous."
"No, it won't." Focusing on the word 'dangerous,' Youyou immediately added, "I know how to use a laser gun. Mom taught me, and I can teach you too. Xiaoxiu, do you want to learn?"
"No way!" We must nip my friend's idea of stealing a gun in the bud!
Zhao Xiaoxiu brandished the twin swords at her waist. "I'm practicing my swordsmanship. When my master has time, I'm going to go hunting in the mountains with her."
"Wow, I want to go too! Zhao Xiaoxiu, can your master take me with him?" Youyou asked expectantly.
Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled: "No. Your mother would absolutely not allow it."
"Okay..." Youyou lowered her head in frustration, but when she saw the two bird eggs in her hands, she immediately cheered up again.
"Are you hungry? Should I ask Dad to roast some bird eggs for us?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked with a chuckle.
Youyou nodded hurriedly, saying she was hungry even though she wasn't, and wanted to taste what the mutated bird egg tasted like.
The two then boarded the hoverboard and had Sister Monkey lead them home.
Youyou took a piece of chocolate out of her pocket, tore open the simple transparent plastic packaging, broke it into two pieces, and handed one piece to Zhao Xiaoxiu.
"Do you know what this is?" Youyou looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu expectantly.
Zhao Xiaoxiu guessed, "Chocolate? But the adults all say it can't be produced anymore because the cocoa trees in Region C can no longer bear cocoa fruit."
Youyou didn't know about the cocoa tree. He explained, "My dad asked someone to bring this to me from the island. My mom said it tastes just like chocolate and is very delicious. Xiaoxiu, you should try it."
Monkey Sister turned her head, her eyes wide open, brighter than light bulbs.
Youyou glanced at it hesitantly, then sadly divided the piece in her hand into two smaller pieces and handed the smaller piece to it.
Sister Monkey shook her head, stretched out her monkey paw, and pointed to the big piece.
"Xiaoxiu~" Youyou was about to cry. He had never seen a monkey snatching a child's snacks! He had already shared half with it, but it still wanted more.
Zhao Xiaoxiu found his pitiful look adorable and couldn't help but laugh. After laughing for a while, she broke off a large piece from her hand and gave it to Sister Monkey along with Youyou's small piece.
"That's fair now. We each get one serving, and the portions are the same. Sister Monkey, you should thank Youyou; he shared this." Zhao Xiaoxiu said with a smile.
Youyou looked at her with admiration: "Xiaoxiu, you're like an adult." He never thought of dividing it into three equal parts.
The monkey sister expressed her gratitude very directly. She grabbed the collar of the newborn cub with her paws, puckered her mouth, and gave it a big bite on the forehead.
Youyou's eyes widened, looking terrified. It took her a long time to calm down before she quietly took advantage of Monkey Sister's inattention and quickly raised her sleeve to wipe the drool off her forehead.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was amused by his reaction, eating chocolate while enjoying Youyou's disgusted yet helpless expression.
The children returned home, while the adults moved to the pavilion to sit, drink water, and chat.
Yang Mei and her assistant were mainly talking about the origins of the green wall, and occasionally asking Zhao Gang and Zhao Xiaoxiu about their lifestyle habits and hobbies.
Want to talk about your own cubs?
Then Zhao Gang won't be sleepy anymore!
The seemingly taciturn and aloof man suddenly opened up, speaking rapidly and excitedly, leaving Yang Mei stunned.
"dad!"
"Mother!"
When the children returned, Zhao Gang, who was excitedly talking about how his daughter could eat two large bowls of meat soup in one meal, immediately stopped talking, stood up and went to greet them.
Yang Mei frowned slightly as she looked at her son, who was covered in weeds and debris and whose clothes were in disarray.
"Mom, look!" The child ran happily towards her, holding up two big bird eggs in his hand and said, "Xiaoxiu gave them to me. Uncle Zhao will bake them for us later."
Zhao Xiaoxiu stuffed the last piece of chocolate she had deliberately saved into her father's mouth and told him, "It's sweet and delicious."
Dad loves sweets and can only eat sweets, so Zhao Xiaoxiu never forgets to save a portion for him whenever there are sweets available.
Otherwise, Dad would be too pitiful, having nothing to eat.
The chocolate melted in his mouth; he had no idea how much sugar had been added, but it was so sweet that Zhao Gang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Zhao Xiaoxiu sensed the excitement, giggled, and held up the two mutated weasels and two bird eggs, asking her father to cook them for her.
Zhao Gang smiled and took the bird eggs, along with the two bird eggs that Youyou had offered him in a flattering manner, and quickly prepared them in the kitchen.
Youyou said enviously, "Xiaoxiu, your dad is so amazing! He can even cook! My mom can't cook at all; she can only make me instant noodles."
"Cough cough!" Yang Mei coughed twice, and Youyou shrank his neck and gave his mother a guilty smile.
Yang Mei called him to her side, took off her shoes, and examined the wound on his foot.
Zhao Xiaoxiu also leaned over with concern and asked, "Aunt Yang, will Youyou's foot be the same as normal in the future?"
Yang Mei nodded: "Yes, the wound has healed so much that it's almost invisible. When he grows up, his foot will be the same as everyone else's."
Zhao Xiaoxiu looked at Youyou's feet after she took off her socks; there was a healed scar on the side of her little toe.
Apart from that, there is absolutely no difference between their feet and those of other people.
Youyou didn't want his friends to see his feet, making him seem fragile. Before his mother had even finished checking, he immediately put his socks and shoes back on.
Yang Mei respected the little man's pride, but she couldn't help but smile.
After letting go of her son, Yang Mei tentatively asked Zhao Xiaoxiu if she could take a vine from the wall with her.
“Two chocolates.” Zhao Xiaoxiu held up two fingers.
Yang Mei readily agreed, saying that there was chocolate on the cart, and immediately asked her assistant to fetch it, also bringing over the tools for packing the vines.
Zhao Xiaoxiu personally cut off a branch of the Green Fairy vine and helped put it into a transparent special bag.
Youyou explained to her that these bags are made of special fiber crystals that have an inhibitory effect on mutated plants, so even the most powerful plants can't escape.
Zhao Xiaoxiu said she had learned something, took the two chocolates Yang Mei handed her, ran to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and put them in the small shelf on the side of the refrigerator.
"dad."
Zhao Gang turned around and saw his little one pointing to the refrigerator, reminding him that she had already put his chocolate inside.
"Daddy, don't forget!" the little boy reminded him again as he ran out.
Zhao Gang nodded, stared at the refrigerator for a long time, and then went back to his work.
