Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

After hearing Cheng Yan's question, young Villette spoke.

"This is Fontaine." The voice was childish, but the tone was extremely serious and old-fashioned, like an old man.

Cheng Yan was amused by his expression and tone, and bent down to rub his chubby cheek.

"Why are you so cute? Can you tell me where Fontaine is?"

He should have felt uneasy after suddenly arriving in an unfamiliar place, but when Cheng Yan saw the little man in front of him, he couldn't help but be affected by his calmness that didn't belong to his age, and he immediately forgot about his current situation.

Villette's cheek was being rubbed, and she looked up at the person in front of her uncomfortably.

"Fontaine is Fontaine, and don't rub my face."

The chubby little face was tense and he spoke in a seemingly unhappy tone.

Cheng Yan smiled even more happily. Not only did he not let go, but he also used both hands to rub the cheek which felt so good.

Seeing that the little man in front of him was about to be angered into a puffer fish, Cheng Yan loosened his hand, turned his wrist, and an exquisite metal box appeared.

Holding the box and shaking it, a tinkling sound was heard.

Cheng Yan said with his eyes bent, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have rubbed your face. I'll use this box of candy to apologize to you. Little friend, please don't be angry with me."

Villette did not take the box of candy. Her little face remained stern, her lips pursed, and she looked unhappy.

But she didn't say anything directly. She just looked at Cheng Yan with her gray-blue eyes, revealing a bit of grievance.

Cheng Yan's heart was almost melted by the cuteness, and she frantically took things out of her arms. Wood carvings, miniature mechanisms, and all kinds of exquisite and small gadgets soon filled up the area around Villette's feet.

"Ancestor, please don't be angry. I'll apologize to you, okay?"

The man in front of him had an extremely sincere look in his eyes, and Villette's pursed lips relaxed slightly, his soft lips slightly opening.

"I'm not angry, I just can't let anyone touch my face, it would... Gurgle~"

The rumbling sound came very suddenly, and surprise was revealed in the gray-blue eyes. Villette covered her stomach and trotted away from Cheng Yan.

But Cheng Yan reached out and pulled her back, and the smile that could not be concealed between his eyebrows made Villette blush.

"Let go! You didn't hear anything!"

The man who had always been as calm as an old man now showed some childish nature.

Cheng Yan couldn't help laughing, he coughed to stop laughing, and said to comfort her, "I didn't hear anything in the first place, I just wanted to ask you, I'm hungry, do you want to eat something with me?"

"I don't... ugh!"

Just as Villette was about to refuse, a candy was stuffed into her mouth. The sweet taste immediately spread from the tip of her tongue, mixed with a fresh fruity aroma. She began to saliva and had to close her mouth to feel the taste of the candy.

Cheng Yan rubbed his head and said, "Okay, let's go find something..."

[Ding——The target has left the strategy scene and is being teleported——]

Cheng Yan: “Ah?”

Holding Villette's soft little hand, his body suddenly felt numb as if he had received an electric shock. The sound of the system in his mind was piercingly loud. Cheng Yan felt a dull pain in his head and felt dizzy.

……

"Ugh..." My stomach was churning and I felt like vomiting as if I was on a roller coaster.

Cheng Yan supported himself on the ground and dry-heaved twice, exhaling a few mouthfuls of air. He was really hungry. There was nothing in his stomach, and he was still waiting to take the child to eat. He hadn't figured out what the system meant by "teleport" suddenly.

[Ding——The target is back to the strategy site, the teleportation function has been used, the score is -1000, and the current score is 3874]

Cheng Yan:!!!

"System, are you crazy?! How many points did you deduct from me?"

[The teleportation function is charged on a per-use basis, and each time consumes 1000 points]

"No, I didn't take the initiative to use this function. Do I have to pay for the points?"

The system stopped making any sound and just silently typed a line of small words in front of Cheng Yan.

[The final right of interpretation of the products sold in the system store belongs to the system]

"You're going too far! You might as well send it back to me. That's 1000 points! Do you know how long it took me to save up that much?"

[Host, we can't stay there any longer. Now is not the right time.]

"Then how did I get there? Couldn't you have waited for me to treat the kid to dinner? His stomach is growling."

Cheng Yan crossed his arms in displeasure. Let it be passed back, but he had already asked to treat the child to a meal, and then suddenly he disappeared. Isn't this breaking his promise?

[This is an accident. Host, don't worry about it. The trial has already begun. Let's focus on the target, Zandik.]

The system remained silent after it finished speaking, and ignored Cheng Yan's numerous questions.

……

Fontaine, Villette looked at the suddenly empty beach in front of her, and the person who had just stood in front of her seemed like an illusion.

But... the gray-blue eyes trembled slightly and fell on the exquisite metal box on the beach. Villette reached out to pick it up and shook it gently. The sound of the candies colliding was crisp and pleasant.

Open the lid and you'll see colorful, sweet-smelling candies.

Holding the box tightly, Villette pursed her soft lips.

It wasn't an illusion, there was someone appearing in front of me just now.

The man in black who said he would take me out to eat.

But he suddenly disappeared before his eyes.

That Villette blinked slowly, her gaze directed towards the bottomless water ahead.

He hated being rubbed on the face, and hated being lied to even more, so he hated the person who disappeared without a word...

As I took a step to leave the beach, the sugar jar in my arms made a slight sound.

Villette couldn't help but recall the sweet taste in her mouth just now. It was wonderful and addictive.

I looked around to make sure no one was around, then quietly opened the candy jar, picked up a candy and put it in my mouth again. My eyes narrowed unconsciously, and the sweet taste made me feel very satisfied.

He could be forgiven temporarily, little Narviette thought, for the sake of the box of candy.
