Morning Star

The five of them played the game for two hours and it was already past five in the afternoon.

The game is exciting and will cause more or less emotional excitement.

Mo Xinglan coughed a few times as soon as he put down his phone. Chujiu quickly stood up and poured him a glass of warm water.

I finally felt better after drinking some water.

Not long after, the parents of both families finally came back carrying large and small bags.

Put everything on the table and start cooking dinner.

The two fathers were the chefs for dinner, and the two mothers were responsible for helping out.

Chujiu, who had just put down his phone and was sitting on the sofa, was looking at the dishes that Yang Wanqing had just bought and were putting on the table.

He stood up and walked over curiously.

"Chicken wings." Her eyes lit up as she thought of something, "Hey, mom, are you going to make fried chicken wings?"

"..." Yang Wanqing raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at her.

She would only call her like that when she wanted something or when she got into trouble.

"All you think about is eating." She nodded her head.

Chujiu touched his head and said with a cheeky smile: "Food is the first necessity of the people."

Yang Wanqing shook her head and walked towards the kitchen with the bag of vegetables.

The adults are responsible for cooking, while the children each have their own things to do.

Xiao Xiao taught Chu Wenxuan this modern knowledge. Chu Shi received a call and went out, saying to tell him when the meal was ready.

Mo Xinglan got up and went back to his room to rest, and Chujiu naturally followed him.

As it was getting dark, Chu Shi, who had just gone out, was called back by Chu Chengyu.

The four elders placed the food on the table, and several children also sat down one after another.

The family was having a lively meal at the dinner table.

Xiao Xiao's matter was discussed during lunch, and Chu Jiu's matter was also mentioned to some extent.

It’s just that the story between her and Mo Xinglan was quite long, so she couldn’t say much at the moment.

Yang Wanqing and others asked to listen again, and asked Chujiu to tell it in detail from beginning to end.

Chujiu was telling stories to a few people while eating the dishes.

Of course, she omitted all the things about Mo Xinglan wanting to kill her or treating her badly before, and also emphasized the good things Mo Xinglan did for her.

Drinking is inevitable when the family eats together.

Mo Xinglan was injured and couldn't drink, but everyone else drank more or less.

Chujiu took a sip from the wine glass and sighed, "The wine at home tastes different."

"You can also taste wine." Yang Wan gave her a clear look.

She was unwilling to accept it: "Why can't I do it?"

As soon as I finished speaking, my head felt heavy, and then a pleasant voice came: "Drink less."

After the two previous incidents when she got drunk, he was a little scared.

Chujiu pursed his lips: "Oh."

……

“…Hiccup…So, we entered the Misty Realm, hiccup…”

Chujiu supported the table with one hand and held the wine glass with the other, muttering with empty eyes.

Mo Xinglan sighed and grabbed the half-full glass of wine in her hand: "Don't drink it."

"Hmm?" She squinted her eyes and looked at him sideways, as if she didn't understand what he was saying.

She looked at the wine glass he was holding, took a few seconds to react, and then exerted force to snatch the glass away.

She smiled at him, moved closer and pulled a strand of hair from behind his ear with her other hand: "My little beauty, hehe..."

"..." Mo Xinglan lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and stared at her without saying a word.

The others switched their looks between Mo Xinglan and hers as if they were enjoying themselves.

Mo Xinglan was silent for a moment and reached out to grab the cup from her hand: "You are drunk, stop drinking and be obedient."

But Chujiu couldn't do as he wished, he held the wine glass tightly and refused to let go.

She pouted and glared at him: "Be good, little beauty...hiccup, don't steal your sister's things."

He also touched his head with his hand.

Mo Xinglan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. He grabbed the disobedient hand and said, "You're getting bolder, huh?"

"..."

Staring at the pair of dark eyes, Chujiu was obviously stunned for a moment. He gave him the wine glass in his hand, lowered his head aggrievedly, and his eyes immediately filled with tears.

"Woo... the little beauty is so fierce..."

"..."

Mo Xinglan sighed and put the wine glass on the table. He held her face and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers: "Be good, don't cry."

The onlookers felt a little choked in their throats and were shocked, as if they had discovered a new world.

Before Chujiu, in their minds, she was not at all delicate, and she would never be as aggrieved as she is now.

In their minds, Chujiu's personality was similar to Yang Wanqing's, that is, she had a bad temper and whoever provoked her would suffer. Now it seemed that he really had to score points.

Look at how pitiful he looks now.

"Hiccup... I won't cry. The little beauty will not be angry. Hiccup, you can't... be mean to me." She spoke stutteringly, with two tears in her eyes, looking aggrieved.

Seeing her like this, Mo Xinglan couldn't bear to be mean to her. Besides, when had he ever been mean to her?

"Okay." But he still agreed to her.

She then grinned and leaned against him contentedly, but her hands were not idle, playing with his hair.

Mo Xinglan was afraid that she would fall, so he had to hold her up with one hand.

You can eat in peace now.

Chujiu was drunk, so no one was telling the story. Everyone was enjoying the story, but it suddenly stopped. What should we do? Chu Wenxuan didn't know the details of what happened in Piaomiao Domain.

So naturally Mo Xinglan had to continue what Chujiu hadn't finished saying.

Mo Xinglan is not a talkative person, so when he speaks, he always gives brief summaries. He mainly talks about the ninth day of the first lunar month.

He seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, and there was no emotion in his voice, so naturally his voice did not feel as vivid as Chujiu's.

Chujiu leaned on his shoulder and played with his hair, looking up at him from time to time.

She stared at the black headband tied around his hair for a long time, and a voice in her head kept telling her...

Pull it off, pull the hairband off...

Then the boy who was telling the story expressionlessly let his high ponytail fall down. Three thousand black hairs fell down like a black waterfall, draping over his body.

"I found Jiu'er didn't leave, so I turned around..."

He paused, and the action of pouring water into the cup froze in place.

It was the first time that Yang Wanqing and the others saw him with his hair down. They were stunned for a moment and didn't say anything for a while.

Everyone sighed in their hearts, no wonder Chujiu called him a little beauty. Isn't she a beauty when her hair is down?

Chu Chengyu, Yang Wanqing and Chu Shisan, who had seen Bai Yue'er, were even more shocked.

He really looks like his mother.

Mo Xinglan was stunned for a few seconds, put down the teapot, and looked at her softly with his eyes sideways: "What's wrong?"

And then he undid his tied hair.

Chujiu proudly pulled the hairband that she had ripped off his head and giggled at him: "Little beauty, you look so pretty."

Mo Xinglan sighed helplessly and stretched out his hand to her: "Give me the hairband."

"No." She pouted and stood up staggeringly, holding the headband high.

She swayed a few times, which frightened Mo Xinglan so much that his heart trembled. He reflexively reached out to hold her waist: "Be careful!"

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her stand firm, but he didn't dare to let go.

Instead of grabbing it, he looked up at her and said, "Give it to me."

She shook her head, but kept her hand raised.

I just want to go against him. Looking down at him, the smugness on his face has not yet disappeared.

Spiritual energy condensed in his hands, and the headband turned into powder.

She laughed even more proudly: "Haha, let's see how you can snatch it!"

She even jumped twice for joy.

Mo Xinglan was only concerned about her not falling, and didn't care what happened to her hairband.

"Don't jump." He frowned in displeasure, "What if you fall?"

She let him help her sit back on the chair, giggling foolishly: "No way, I'm standing firmly, eh, hehe..."

After she finished speaking, she swept her eyes across everyone's faces, ignoring the eyes that were looking at her. Instead, she fixed her gaze on Yang Wanqing who was also looking at her with a smile.

He leaned towards her and shouted foolishly, "Mom, Mom..."

Chujiu and Chushi rarely called her like this, usually they only called her one word. Suddenly hearing her call like this, Yang Wanqing's expression paused slightly, but she subconsciously reached out to catch Chujiu falling towards her.

Mo Xinglan, who was on the other side of Chujiu, was also afraid that she would fall, so he quickly reached out, but when he was halfway there, she had already been caught by Yang Wanqing. His hand stopped in mid-air, and he looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.

After a few seconds, he lowered his eyes and slowly withdrew his hand.

Chujiu, who was unaware of the situation, leaned on Yang Wanqing and looked up at her: "Mom..."

"Hey, Mom is here." Yang Wanqing's voice was unusually gentle, and her eyes were full of doting.

Even his eyes were a little red.

"Mom...I missed you so much." She rubbed her head against him.

Yang Wanqing paused and sniffed, then gently stroked her shoulder with the hand that was holding her: "Mom misses you, too."

"Yeah, I know...Mom, I miss Dad too...I miss Chu Xiaoshi...I want to go home..." Her voice was small and soft, but it was particularly noticeable in this quiet restaurant.

Everyone at the table was infected by her emotions.

Among them, Xiao Xuerong and Xiao Chen were the most touched. They both subconsciously looked at Xiao Xiao who was standing beside them.

At this time, Xiao Xiao was looking up at them with tears in her eyes.
