Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 187 Bedtime Story

The two children waited anxiously until late at night, when they heard two hurried footsteps, which sounded like drumbeats, coming from far away and getting closer. A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Lan almost jumped up, and ran to the door like an arrow from a bow, opened the door, and welcomed the two dusty women into the room.

"Aunt Ahuan, Sister Aqi...you are back? Come and see Qiqi, she has been sleeping for two days..." Xiao Lan's face was full of anxiety and hope. He grabbed Lin Huan's hand tightly and pulled her to the bed, his palms full of sweat.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Xiaolan. Don't panic. Let me take a look at her." Lin Huan reached out his hand and gently touched Xiaolan's head, then sat down beside the bed, bent down and carefully checked the little zombie lying on the bed. Qiqi was not asleep at this time, still with his eyes wide open, his eyeballs rolling around. When he saw the green dragon sitting next to him, he struggled to sit up, hugged Lin Huan's waist tightly, and rubbed it gently.

"Ah Huan, you're back? Qiqi is sleepy... so sleepy." Qiqi's voice seemed to be soaked in tiredness. She curled up like a cute little kitten and lay in her arms. She squinted her eyes slightly, as if she could fall asleep at any time, but she tried hard to stay awake. Suddenly, something attracted her attention like a magnet. She had a blank expression on her face, but slowly stretched out her hand and groped forward carefully. However, in the eyes of the two little boys, there was nothing there. They only saw little Qiqi tremblingly stretching out her little hand and trying to stretch forward, as if she was chasing something.

"Well... I'm back. Qiqi is very sleepy... I know." Lin Huan gently leaned on the bed, and stroked Qiqi's head gently like coaxing a child. In Qiqi's vision, Longlong's green, soft tail swayed by her hand, waving at her and coaxing her to sleep. It was so soft and light, forming a sharp contrast with the big tail that heavily smashed the seal of her amber that day... She couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently. Sure enough, Longlong's big tail was as smooth as silk and as warm as spring sunshine. It felt really good...

"Qiqi, do you want to sleep?" Lin Huan said softly.

"Qiqi doesn't want to sleep and doesn't want to be sealed in amber. But Qiqi's eyelids are so heavy... so heavy." Qiqi's eyes were like a clear spring, a little confused. She hugged the big tail tightly, as if it was her last support, and rubbed it gently with attachment.

"So, Qiqi doesn't want to sleep, right?" Lin Huan asked patiently, looking at her seriously, paying attention to every movement and expression of the little zombie.

"But Qiqi is really sleepy. Qiqi needs to have a good sleep and save up enough energy... When Qiqi wakes up next time, Longlong will always be with her, right?"

This time, Lin Huan remained quiet and did not answer Qiqi's question. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the two bewildered little boys beside him. Such a result was undoubtedly a bit cruel for these two children who treasured their friends and valued this first pure friendship in their lives.

"Xiao Lan..." She spoke softly, but the next moment, she was interrupted by Xiao Lan's voice with a hint of tears.

“…It’s okay, Aunt Huan, Xiaolan understands… Xiaolan understands…” Lan Ze rubbed the corners of his eyes, and tried to raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, “I understand… Qiqi is just sleepy, just wants to sleep, it’s no big deal… This is great, Qiqi doesn’t have any frightening condition, Qiqi is just sleepy… This is great, Xiaolan is very happy, Xiaolan is finally relieved.”

"It's okay, Qiqi, you can sleep whenever you want and sleep as long as you want. But you must remember to wake up..." Xiao Lan was about to cry, but she still smiled widely, like a little sun wet by the raindrops, her smile was still so dazzling and bright.

"Xiao Lan will wait for Qi Qi to wake up... She will definitely wait. Even if she can't wait, it doesn't matter. Even if Qi Qi doesn't remember Xiao Lan, it doesn't matter. Xiao Lan will never forget Qi Qi. She will remember Qi Qi for the rest of her life!"

Lin Huan stared at the well-behaved and sensible child in front of her, and an indescribable sadness surged in her heart. Finally, she patted Xiao Lan's shoulder gently, her eyes full of love and tenderness, and motioned him to come closer. Then, she carefully reached out her hand, gently stroked Xiao Lan's head, and took him into her arms.

"Okay, good kid, just like you said... Qiqi is just sleepy and just wants to take a nap... Then we will accompany her and let her have a good sleep..." Lin Huan whispered softly, like a lullaby before bed, with unprecedented tenderness. "Qiqi, you have to be good too, have a good sleep, and when you wake up... you won't feel sleepy anymore. Longlong will always be by your side, and will always protect you in your dreams... So, don't be afraid."

Holding the two children, Lin Huan hummed a lullaby softly. Slowly, the two children closed their eyes and fell asleep peacefully in her arms. The other slightly older kid also slowly fell asleep in his sister's arms. As the night deepened, the whole room was immersed in tranquility. Only Longlong's big tail swayed from time to time, as if silently guarding the children's dreams in the room, bringing them peace of mind and a good sleep.
