Chapter 188
"Insomnia is a disease and must be treated."

"The elderly should... pay more attention to their bodies."

"Instead of insomnia all night, it's better to go all night."

During dinner, Li Xinxi brought up this topic very seriously.

As soon as the words fell, the old man who was only joking during the day trembled all over his body.

"Master, what's the matter with you?" The girl in the yellow skirt asked with concern.

"No, it's nothing. This person is old, but he is particularly prone to sleepiness."

"Little guy, then you guys talk first, and I'll go to bed first."

The bad old man looked up in fright and uncertainty, and his figure was still trembling slightly when he left.

"Pfft, it seems that the uncle is quite afraid of today's injection."

Li Xinxi, who was full, did not move, but lazily chatted with Chen Mu about what she saw today.

"That's right, after all, the uncle is getting old too, old man, sometimes he is just like a child."

While packing up the dishes, Chen Mu used his peripheral vision to search for traces of a certain light yellow mischievous ghost.

"Why haven't you seen Doupi all day today? It stands to reason that it should have come out by this point."

The dog-headed boy moved his gaze to the little kitten nest in the corner, which was also empty, and the sight in front of him couldn't help frowning.

"How about Xixi, you should clean up the bowls and chopsticks first, and I'll go find Doubi."

"You have changed, Gouzi. In the past... You never would have left things like tidying up and washing dishes to me."

Hearing this, Li Xinxi pursed her lips very naturally, and her cleaning movements were quite sloppy.

"Then why don't we clean up together, and the dishes will be washed later." Chen Mu looked at Li Xinxi beside him, dumbfounded.

When the little squirrel is sulking, his cheeks will fluctuate with his mood, which is quite playful and cute.

"It's more or less the same." The angry expression on Li Xinxi's face subsided a little: "Where does the bean curd usually go?"

"Anyway, it won't be in the kitchen. My uncle and I have very strict control over this little guy's diet."

At this time, Chen Mu, who was holding a lot of bowls and chopsticks, turned his head and glanced at the petite girl who followed obediently.

"Then where should I find it?" Li Xinxi watched quietly as Chen Mu stacked the dishes into stacks.

"I don't know either." Chen Mu washed his hands, and skillfully grabbed the palm of the girl next to him.

The little squirrel didn't move around, and let the five green and white fingers be washed clean under a stream of thin water.

It wasn't until the crevices of the nails were washed away that Chen Mu was finally willing to pull Li Xinxi's palm away from it.

"Xixi, you took a lot of oil today, but it took you so long to wash your hands."

"Then why don't you use hand sanitizer?" Li Xinxi, who was being held by her little hand, looked a little shy and at a loss.

"If you use too much hand sanitizer, it will hurt your hands." Chen Mu turned Li Xinxi's palm over.

"It's fine to use it yourself, I don't want to give up your hands."

The dog-headed boy's eyes shifted to the fine palm prints on the palm of the girl in yellow skirt, but he quickly moved away in an instant.

"I think, I might know where Doupi is hiding."

As soon as the words were finished, the boy turned around and led the girl out of the room without a moment's hesitation.

"You dog, why are you running so fast all of a sudden?"

Behind him, Li Xinxi's eyes flickered, and it seemed that there was a little bit of curiosity lurking.

"look up--"

Chen Mu pointed to the nearby roof, and even Li Xinxi's eyes moved to the night sky.

"Xixi, what did you see?" Chen Mu's tone was full of uncontrollable excitement as if he had discovered something suddenly.

"Is it bean curd? But I didn't see it, I only saw the stars." Li Xinxi also raised her little head very high.

"There are many differences between the blue star and the red star, but only this starry sky is similar."

"Since the past, I have often looked at the stars at night. They twinkle and twinkle, and they will be very beautiful."

"Xixi, what color are the stars?" Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The colors of the stars are mostly yellow and white." Li Xinxi raised her fingers blankly, as if she was seriously thinking about the meaning of Chen Mu's question.

"Of course, there are also some stars that are light blue, such as these two stars on our roof." Chen Mu turned Li Xinxi's little head beside him a little.

The eyes of the two looked at the two light blue stars on the roof in front of them, which were shining faintly in the dim night.

"Silly dog, those aren't stars, those are the eyes of this little mischievous Doupi." Li Xinxi giggled for a moment, then met Chen Mu's eyes again.

"What should I do? Shall I call Doupi down?"

"Come on, I don't think I can shout it, this little guy is quite clever." Chen Mu helped his forehead helplessly: "Fortunately, it was only on the roof and didn't run out of the house."

"Doupi - come down quickly -", the girl in the yellow skirt shouted for a very long time.

"Meow--", a slightly weak meow came in response.

Doupi, who was originally lying on the flat roof, changed into a more comfortable posture, looking lazily at the distant night sky.

"Doupi said that it doesn't want to come down, it is looking at the stars, unless we go up." Chen Mu sighed softly when he heard the words.

"The two little guys in the family are quite noisy, and it's not worrying to be here every day."

"Then, Gouzi, why don't we just ignore Doupi and wait for it to come down."

Li Xinxi looked up at the flat roof in front of her, and then shifted her gaze to the ladder in the corner of the courtyard that had been leaning on for a long time.

"I am worried that if I go up, the ladder will not be able to withstand it, and it feels quite dangerous."

"That's not the case, after all, it is often used. It's just that I don't bother to care about this little guy."

"Meow meow meow—" Just as the voice fell, another meow came from the roof, this time the voice was obviously much louder.

The dog-headed boy standing in front of the house was silent for three seconds, and when he spoke again, his tone of voice was completely different from before.

"No, I must catch the little guy Doupi today, otherwise it will turn the world upside down if it goes on like this."

Chen Mu hummed and moved the ladder over, completely ignoring Li Xinxi's strange eyes.

"Goofy, why did you suddenly..." Li Xinxi stopped talking, but looked at Chen Mu who was about to climb up the escalator, and changed his words.

"Mumu, just now Doupi. What does it mean by its meowing?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Mu looked at Doupi on the roof angrily, and his words were full of gnashing of teeth.

"Xixi, please help me hold up the ladder, I...I have to go up and skin this little guy today."

"Hey." Li Xinxi, who was watching from the bottom of the ladder, was puzzled when she saw Chen Mu climb up the escalator quite proficiently.

"Gouzi, what did Doupi mean just now? As for... As for this?"

Sensing the rare angry expression in Chen Mu's tone, Li Xinxi, whose eyes were all focused on the roof of the flat-roofed first floor, asked again.

"Doupi just said..."

"If you have the guts, come up—."
