New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

It was late at night and the inn gradually became quiet. The window was open and a breeze blew into the room, causing the candlelight to flicker and making the man drinking at the table look a little unreal.

Xiaoyanzi looked at the man in front of her who said he would find a woman and be responsible for her, and a hint of approval flashed across her eyes. She felt that this man did not seem to be lying, because his eyes were blurry, but his expression did not seem fake.

Besides, as a man, there was no need for him to lie to a child like her.

Duanmu Qing was already a little drunk at this time. His previously handsome face was now dark and dirty because of the explosion in the kitchen and the long journey. Even though his cheeks were red from drinking, it was not visible because of his dark face.

"Bad uncle, drink less. Drinking will cause trouble."

Xiaoyanzi kindly reminded.

Duanmu Qing's drinking movements froze, he smacked his lips a few times, and finally chose to listen to her, put down the wine glass in his hand, turned around and scooped some egg drop soup to drink, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll drink less. And, little girl, don't call me bad uncle, it doesn't sound good."

Xiaoyanzi shrugged her shoulders and did not say anything in rebuttal. She just ate the food in the bowl silently until her stomach was a little full, then she put down her chopsticks.

Duanmu Qing ate a little and then stopped. He drank some soup and felt a little sober. He quickly asked someone to remove the food on the table and asked someone to get a bucket of hot water.

He let the little one wash first, but thinking of such a young three-year-old, he hesitated and asked her, "Can you wash by yourself?"

Xiaoyanzi was afraid that he would become beastly, so she hugged her small body and exclaimed, "I can do it, I can do it."

Duanmu Qing, who was treated like a beast, was speechless. He was worried and asked the waiter to find a cook to help the little girl wash up. Xiaoyanzi looked at the huge wooden barrel and hesitated for a long time, but finally accepted the help from the cook. She thought to herself, she would just pretend that she was in the palace and let Nanny Wu give her a bath.

After all, it is better to let this mother-in-law help you take a bath than to drown yourself.

Duanmu Qing tactfully walked outside the door and waited.

Just as he closed his eyes and rested, he felt someone bumped into his leg.

It was accompanied by a sound of "ouch" and "plop".

He opened his eyes and looked at the ground, and saw a boy of five or six years old, wearing a simple yet slightly luxurious robe, who fell on his butt because he didn't pay attention and bumped into his legs.

The little guy with a round head and a round face had a frown on his face and his cheeks were a little red because he hurt his butt. He felt embarrassed for bumping into someone and was also embarrassed for falling on his butt.

"Kid, are you okay?"

Duanmu Qing quickly reached out and prepared to pick up the little guy.

Unexpectedly, the little boy got up from the ground and bowed to him politely to apologize, "I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't mean it."

Seeing this little guy so well-behaved and cute, Duanmu Qing fell in love with him at first sight. This child has a round head and a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. Looking closely, he looks familiar, but he can't remember who he looks like.

"Qiqi, come in."

At this moment, a soft and gentle voice came from the next room. The tightly closed door opened a crack, and a woman in a pink and blue dress flashed by the door.

Duanmu Qing only had time to see the hem of the skirt pass by and couldn't see the other person's appearance at all. He didn't want to pay too much attention to it, so he just took a look when he heard the voice.

"Okay, mother."

The little boy called Qiqi first responded to his mother's words, and then politely greeted the dark-skinned uncle in front of him, "Uncle, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards his room.

Duanmu Qing watched him go into the next room, still thinking in his heart, this child is so well-behaved and sensible, and looks so much like an old friend, but he can't tell who he looks like.

After thinking about it, he really couldn't remember. At this time, the mother-in-law inside the house opened the door and let him in, so he walked into the house.

In the next room, a woman who had just finished bathing and changing clothes was sitting in front of the dressing table, gently combing her hair. When she saw her son coming back, she asked casually, "Who are you chatting with?"

After five-year-old Huo Yuqi entered the house, he smiled and went to his mother. He skillfully brought a small stool behind his mother, took the comb from his mother's hand and combed her hair. While combing, he spoke with a smile.

"I was in a hurry when I went out just now. I didn't pay attention to the road and bumped into an uncle next door. That uncle looked so strange. His hair and face were black. He looked like he had been blown up by something. It was so strange."

Hearing his son's description, Huo Chengyue smiled and said gently, "You, remember to look at the road when you walk, okay? If you bump into someone and they keep bullying you, it will be hard for us to explain why we are right, okay?"

Huo Yuqi nodded obediently, "I know, mother, I will pay attention next time."

Huo Chengyue reached out and held his son to sit on his lap. The five-year-old boy had grown quite tall because he ate well and slept well. His little face was round and chubby, and it felt really comfortable to touch. However, the longer he grew, the more he looked like that man...

Six years ago, she traveled through time from the modern era, most likely because of the necklace on her neck. This was a necklace she had worn since she was a child, and it was said to be a family heirloom of her Huo family.

When she came in, she had no memories and was drugged. She forced herself on the man and had a one-night stand with him. She accidentally activated the ring on the necklace and created a space.

In the second half of the night, the man fell asleep. She was so tired that she drank some spring water from the space. Her body recovered a little and she also remembered the memories of this body.

It turned out that she was the third daughter of a small family in the capital who was not valued.

He was tricked into coming to this small town outside the capital to the barren mountains near the Tianshan Snow Lotus to give to his father who favored his concubine over his wife.

Originally, Huo Chengyue's mother died of complications during childbirth, which caused her father to hate her and ignore her, allowing her stepmother and step-sister to bully her. Later, she was tricked into this small town and died unexpectedly. Then she came and unexpectedly had a baby.

She left at night. In order to avoid outsiders knowing that she had a baby out of wedlock and thus affecting her child, she simply stayed in that space for two years. She gave birth to little Qiqi there. Two years later, when Qiqi was old enough to remember, she brought him out. After that...

Huo Chengyue was too lazy to think about what happened in the past few years. Anyway, it was good that she couldn't see that man now, so that no one would come to snatch her son away.

"Qiqi, do you need your mother to give you a bath?"

Huo Chengyue smiled and pinched her son's chubby little face, asking gently.

"No, mother, I'll wash it myself."

The five-year-old Huo Yuqi had already been educated to have a strong sense of the importance of gender separation, and he blushed and refused his mother.

"Okay. Wash it yourself then."

Feeling a little regretful, Huo Yuqi got him a small basin and asked him to try to bathe himself. She went to the door to see if there was anything to eat.

At this time, Xiaoyanzi next door also walked directly to the door and closed the door for Duanmu Qing because of the issue of gender separation.

When she looked up, she saw a very pretty auntie. She couldn't help but greet her, "Hello, pretty auntie."
