Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Xiao Yunlong looked at Wu Chengyue confusedly and asked, “Eh? I mean…if you don’t want our help, why did you bring so many people?”Wu Yueling raised her head to give him a glance, then climbed onto Wu Chengyue’s lap.
People said that daughters were their fathers’ previous life’s lovers. Seeing the clingy Wu Yueling, Xiao Yunlong totally believed in it.
Wu Yuecheng held his daughter and gave a faint smile as he said, “Are you dumb? I said I’m going to find the zombie king, but we’ll still be collecting supplies. We haven’t touched that area yet, because there were too many zombies. If we find that zombie king and kill it, we’ll be able to bag ourselves all the supplies stored in its territory. If we can’t find it, our main job will still be collecting supplies.
Meng Yue rolled her eyes, then said to Xiao Yunlong, “I wonder how your brain works…But never mind! I think all the nutrition you absorbed has been put into your muscles, and your brain is undernourished.”
After saying that, she turned back to check the situation on the road.
“Um…Yue, you can just say that I’m silly, I won’t mind. But undernourished brain? Can you make it simpler?” Xiao Yunlong said. Meng Yue rolled her eyes while Wu Chengyue gave a bigger smile.
Wu Yueling widely opened her s.h.i.+ny black eyes as she looked at them. Xiao Yunlong touched her little nose and asked, “Do you understand your Aunt Yue’s words? She said that my brain is undernourished. She’s simply saying that I’m silly. Silly, do you understand silly? Ling Ling, do you understand?”
Wu Chengyue rubbed his daughter’s hair as he chuckled and said to her, “Don’t talk to him. His silliness is contagious.”
Hearing that, Wu Yueling immediately curled her limbs to keep a distance from Xiao Yunlong. Seeing that, Xiao Yunlong was a little unhappy. “Eh? Eh? Why am I contagious? How am I silly? I surely know what your father is up to, how can I not?”
While speaking, he tried to play with Wu Yueling. However, the latter refused to respond to him, turning her face away.
At that moment, Xiao Yunlong saw something in her pocket that looked like a gra.s.s. So, he reached out a hand toward it.
“Ling Ling, what’s this?” While speaking, he grabbed the dry gra.s.s and pulled that thing out of Wu Yueling’s pocket, as she wasn’t looking at him. After that, he found that it was a gra.s.s dragonfly, dried and dark-brown in color, but exquisitely made.
Feeing that something was pulled out of her pocket, Wu Yueling immediately turned back and saw that Xiao Yunlong was holding her gra.s.s dragonfly and looking at it.
She pounced on him and reached out her arms to try and take it back. She had forgotten about the contagious thing, and only wanted to take her toy back.
However, Xiao Yunlong was an adult, so how could she possibly win against him? He raised his hand and threw the gra.s.s dragonfly up, then caught it with the other hand.
“Ling Ling, tell your G.o.dfather, where did you get this? I don’t remember making you this.” Xiao Yunlong reached the gra.s.s dragonfly to his left side to keep Wu Yueling from touching it.
Wu Chengyue was also looking at the gra.s.s dragonfly curiously. He didn’t realize that his daughter had it either. Meng Yue turned around to look at it too. She found the gra.s.s dragonfly rather cute, just a little dry and dark-colored.
“Eh? It’s quite delicate!” While speaking, she took it over from Xiao Yunlong’s hand and put it on her own palm.
Wu Yueling spent a while fighting Xiao Yunlong but failed to get her precious little toy back. Now, as the gra.s.s dragonfly ended up in Meng Yue’s hand, she suddenly realized that she wouldn’t get it back soon enough.
So, she pulled a long face and pouted, then angrily sat back between Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong.
“Eh? Ling Ling? Are you angry?” Wu Chengyue looked at her with surprise. He found that within these couple of seconds, the expressions on his daughter’s face had been changing vividly.
Xiao Yunlong was observing her too. “I think she is,” he said with his eyes glowing. “Haven’t you noticed that ever since she came back, she has been showing many of her feelings on her face? That’s a good thing.” In fact, all three of them had noticed that long ago. Wu Yueling was less afraid of people than before. At least, she wouldn’t try to hide once she saw Xiao Yunlong as she used to.
Moreover, she was much friendlier to Xiao Licheng too, who was driving the car.
At that moment, a tiny gra.s.s grew out of Meng Yue’s palm. The gra.s.s glowed faintly and leaned against the gra.s.s dragonfly.
“Ling Ling, look,” Meng Yue smiled to Wu Yueling and said. While she was speaking, a light greenness was slowly sent into the dried gra.s.s dragonfly from the tiny gra.s.s. Soon, the gra.s.s dragonfly turned green and lively again, as though made from fresh gra.s.s blades.
Seeing that, Wu Yueling paused in surprise. She fixed her eyes on the gra.s.s dragonfly, even forgetting that she was angry. Meng Yue then handed her the dragonfly; judging by her reaction just now, she must be treasuring that little toy greatly.
“Can you tell Dad who made you this pretty gra.s.s dragonfly?” Wu Chengyue smilingly asked Wu Yueling as she carefully took the dragonfly over.
Wu Yueling glanced at him, but didn’t answer his question. She ignored the others and put the gra.s.s dragonfly back into her pocket, then covered her pocket with a hand. After that, she moved to the other side of Wu Chengyue, to get further away from Xiao Yunlong.
In addition to that, she pushed Wu Chengyue to the middle of the backseat.
Seeing this, both Wu Chengyue and Xiao Yunlong felt a little speechless. Meng Yue looked at them with a grin and said, “Our Ling Ling has grown up. Don’t you bully her, or when she wants to take her revenge, you’ll end up dead.”
Wu Chengyue smiled and rubbed Wu Yueling’s head while pulling her closer to him. Xiao Yunlong looked at her and continued asking, “Where did the little girl get the gra.s.s dragonfly from? It looked days old, and it’s dried.”
Meng Yue shook her head and replied, “I didn’t make it. I don’t know how to make small things like that. And, there’s nothing strange in that gra.s.s dragonfly. I’ve checked that it’s clean.”
Xiao Yunlong immediately turned to Wu Chengyue, who smilingly asked him, “Why are you looking at me? Have you ever seen me making little things like that?”
“Who gave it to her then?” Xiao Yunlong murmured confusedly.Wu Yueling hadn’t spent time with any other people but the three of them since she came back, so where did she get that little toy from?
Xiao Yunlong was still confused, while Wu Chengyue thought of a possibility. Judging by the gra.s.s dragonfly’s condition, Ling Ling should have obtained it before returning to the base. It was just that she had been hiding it well, such that even her father didn’t find it.
