Chapter 33 Night talk(1/2)
As a corner of the package was slowly opened, Feng Ranzhou couldn't help but squint his eyes.
He first saw the golden corner, and then the corner gradually expanded, revealing the whole thing - it was actually a candy man made in the shape of a fox, and the surface was also covered with a layer of translucent candy paper. The whole fox was lifelike and very agile.
His expression changed, and his eyes softened a lot: "For me?"
When this little kid goes out, you actually think of bringing him candy?
Does it have such good intentions?
When Xie Wanyou saw the candy man, he managed to hold back his laughter: "This is the fox that Xiaobai specially asked the stall owner to make. He took it all the way and was reluctant to eat it, just to show you."
Feng Ranzhou let out a low "Yeah", thinking that this little kid still had some conscience, his mood somehow became quite good.
This rare good mood lasted until Xiaobai completely opened the last corner of the package.
Feng Ranzhi's eyes moved up, and when he saw the cat's head stepping on the fox's head, the whole fox's face suddenly smelled bad: "..."
"Pfft-hahahaha!" Xie Wanyou finally couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed wildly.
Feng Ranzhou knew that this kid didn't have any good intentions, and his fox ears stood up: "Thank you, Xiaobai!"
Xiaobai tilted his head innocently: "What's wrong, Uncle Fox? Doesn't the Uncle Fox painted by the stall owner's grandfather look good?"
Xie Wanyou suppressed a smile and revealed the truth: "You know why Xiaobai endured not eating all the way? It's just to get it back to piss you off."
Feng Ranchu slapped her with his tail without looking back: "Aiding the evildoer."
He looked sideways at the candy man: "Since I was also drawn, it means I have a share in it."
He stretched out his paw and slapped it on the ground, and the candy man split into two parts. The break happened to be where the cat's head stepped on the fox's head.
Feng Ranzhou pulled over the fox part: "Mine."
Pushing the part of the cat's head towards the stupid Xiaobai: "Yours."
Feng Ranzhou bit the fox's head into pieces with a click, and said grimly: "Eat it, after eating the candy, Uncle Fox will eat the child."
Xie Xiaobai: "..."
The little thing was quite good at watching, and when he saw that Uncle Fox was irritated, he looked left and right, picked up his piece of candy, and jumped behind his mother's legs, trying hard to ball up himself and reduce his presence.
Xie Wanyou poked a small ball of stuffed hair squatting at his feet: "Now you know you are afraid?"
Xie Xiaobai admitted his mistake as quickly as his mother: "Uncle Fox, I'm sorry!"
Feng Ranzhou: "Come to me and say it."
Xie Xiaobai slowly moved back to Feng Ranzhou.
Feng Ran looked at the dejected little thing and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Xiaobai covered his paws with his tail, lowered his head and said wiltedly: "You shouldn't deliberately show off the dried fish to Uncle Fox."
"What else?"
"You shouldn't deliberately show off the candy man who stepped on Uncle Fox's head."
Xie Wanyou couldn't help it and chuckled.
"..." Feng Ranzhou took a deep breath and slapped her with his tail: "You try to laugh again?"
Seeing the stormy tone in his tone, Xie Wanyou coughed, quickly suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "By the way, Xiaobai actually didn't really bring you nothing."
"Yeah!" Xie Xiaobai nodded eagerly, went to scoop up the package again, then ran back with a white windmill in his mouth, placed it in front of Feng Ranzhou, raised his head and said in a childish voice: "Uncle Fox, here is this for you."
"……windmill?"
Why are both mother and son so good at taking out unexpected things from the package?
Feng Ranzhou fiddled with the windmill with his paw, and the seven-color wind-mysterious leaves could rotate automatically without any wind. He poked them like this and started spinning all of a sudden.
Feng Ranzhou sneered: "I'm not a child, why are you giving me this?"
Xie Xiaobai squatted down and looked at him with big gray-blue eyes: "There is a windmill to accompany Uncle Fox, so that Uncle Fox won't feel scared when he sleeps alone at night."
Feng Ranzhou was silent for a while and then said: "It's ridiculous...I won't be afraid to take it away."
Xie Xiaobai shook his head seriously: "My mother said that Uncle Fox likes to talk duplicity. Duplicity means saying he doesn't want it, but actually he really wants it in his heart. So Uncle Fox must like windmills very much, right?"
Feng Ranzhou's sharp, dagger-like gaze immediately shot towards Xie Wanyou.
Xie Wanyou: "..." Zai, why did you even sell your own mother? They are friendly forces!
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Xie Wanyou picked up the idiot Zaizai and ran away: "It's getting late, so we won't disturb you. You can go to bed quickly."
Xie Xiaobai lay on Xie Wanyou's shoulder, and did not forget to shout to Feng Ranzhou: "Uncle Fox, the windmill is here for you, please don't eat children at night."
The door was closed, but the white windmill was still spinning.
Feng Ranzhi glanced at the ground. The female Bixiao disciple slipped away so fast that she even forgot to take the package with her.
Xie Wanyou didn't think about this until he slipped back into his yard.
"Forget it, let's get it tomorrow." Xie Wanyou really didn't have the courage to face Feng Ranzhou today.
Xie Wanyou sighed and held her eldest son in her arms: "Xiao Bai, why did you tell Uncle Fox what your mother whispered to you?"
Xie Xiaobai lay on Xie Wanyou's knees with his paws paralyzed, wagging his tail in confusion: "Mother, can't you tell Uncle Fox this?"
"Yes," Xie Wanyou nodded, pinched Xiaobai's pink paw pads and said, "This is a whisper between Xiaobai and her mother. Uncle Fox cannot hear it - otherwise Uncle Fox will be shy."
Xie Xiaobai tilted his head in confusion: "But why is Uncle Fox so shy?"
Xie Wanyou gave it an analogy: "For example, Xiaobai has a secret that he doesn't want others to know. What secret is it... Let's say it's the secret of Xiaobai's smelly feet."
Xie Xiaobai nodded and waited curiously for his mother to continue.
Xie Wanyou said: "As a result, others discovered the secret and told others. Now, everyone knew that Xiaobai's feet smelled bad. They even asked Xiaobai why his feet smelled bad and whether he didn't wash them often.
…”
"How will Xiaobai feel at this time?"
Xie Xiaobai imagined it for a moment, then started to tilt his ears back: "Yes...I'm sorry. Xiaobai seems to understand how Uncle Fox feels."
Xie Wanyou nodded: "Uncle Fox definitely doesn't want others to know that he is duplicitous, so we just have to think about it ourselves and we can't expose him."
Xie Xiaobai nodded vigorously: "Mother, Xiaobai understands!"
After it finished speaking, it smelled its feet hesitantly and asked uncertainly: "But mother... are Xiaobai's feet really smelly?"
Xie Wanyou couldn't help laughing when he saw that Zaizai believed it was true: "It doesn't stink, it doesn't stink, it's just an assumption."
Xie Xiaobai raised his hind legs and sniffed again and again. Although he didn't smell anything, he was still a little unconfident and embarrassed to ask his mother to help him smell it.
What if he really has stinky feet?
Xie Xiaobai was very torn, and finally put down his feet and made a decision: "Mother, Xiaobai wants to wash his feet."
Xie Wanyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could this silly boy take it seriously?
Zaizai has a sensitive mind, and she was careless this time. Xie Wanyou secretly learned his lesson and should not compare this kind of thing next time.
After washing the little thing's four paws one by one, Xiaobai lay down on his own little pillow with satisfaction.
Xie Wanyou sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over, kissed its little paws, and said softly: "No matter what Xiaobai looks like, mother will always like Xiaobai."
Hearing his mother say that he would always like it, Xie Xiaobai couldn't help but twitch the tip of his tail, and kept making happy purring sounds in his throat.
Xie Wanyou scratched its open belly. Xie Xiaobai felt itchy and couldn't help laughing, and hugged Xie Wanyou's hand with all four paws.
It licked the back of Xie Wanyou's hand and suddenly whispered: "Xiaobai will always like the current mother."
Xie Wanyou was stunned.
Xiaobai had already let go of her hand, and as if he was shy, he slipped under the quilt, leaving only the tip of his white tail hanging out of the quilt, swaying happily.
Xie Wanyou smiled and poked the tip of his tail, feeling lost in thought for a moment.
She always felt that Xiaobai was still young and didn't understand anything.
But does it really understand nothing?
…
…
With something on his mind, Xie Wanyou seemed a little absent-minded when he went to change Feng Ranzhou's dressing the next morning.
Feng Ranzhou initially didn't want to pay attention to her, but it wasn't until Xie Wanyou gave him the medicine once and wanted to take it a second time that he couldn't bear it anymore: "Are you so guilty?"
Xie Wanyou suddenly came back to his senses and put away the medicine bottle as if nothing had happened: "What is a guilty conscience? A guilty conscience cannot be a guilty conscience."
Feng Ranzhou said coldly: "Then what are you thinking about?"
"Oh... I plan to go to Fufeng Pavilion today to sell elixirs. It's my first time, so I'm inevitably a little nervous." Xie Wanyou casually made an excuse and started wrapping gauze around him.
Feng Ranzhou sneered: "I'm just selling a pill, but it makes you worry like this? Disciple Bixiao, that's all."
What's the matter with just being worried, as for being so disdainful?
When Xie Wanyou heard his tone, she wanted to quarrel with him. She glanced at him and said deliberately: "You care about me so much that you can detect it in time even if I am distracted...have you been secretly paying attention to me?"
How could Feng Ranzhou listen to this? His expression immediately changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That's ridiculous! Who is paying attention to you!"
