Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

Everyone has a gossipy heart. Su Qingchen is actually very curious about what is going on with Xiao Da Xia's big drama in recent years. The two children were so good before, why did they keep silent and not contact each other for two years?

"Why did you suddenly figure it out?" Su Qingchen asked while driving.

"What have you figured out?"

"Why did you come back so soon this time? And you came with me to pick up little Momo. You came back so early and didn't even think of hiding at your brother Mo Zhu's company until midnight?"

“I didn’t hide…”

"If a family doesn't have any grudges against each other, they generally can't go two years without seeing each other, unless one of them is deliberately avoiding each other."

"Stop at that convenience store for a moment. I want to buy some snacks." Xiao Daxia said, pointing to the convenience store in front.

"Tsk. You don't think a snack can solve any problem, do you..." Although Su Qingchen was a little disgusted, he still stopped the car.

Xiao Daxia went to buy a bag of snacks that little Momo used to like and got back in the car.

Su Qingchen glanced at him and said, "I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"what?"

"Little Momo stopped eating carrot-flavored things not long after you left. He likes strawberries now. I donated the two-meter carrot doll in his room and bought him a two-meter strawberry one instead. You've missed a lot, little brother."

"Oh... then I'll go change one." With that, Hero Xiao got out of the car and brought back a pack of strawberry-flavored biscuits.

"I think you can probably predict how he'll react. Although I'll help you, you have to work harder on your own."

"understood."

The scenery along the way has not changed much from two years ago, including the school gate. This is the second time that Hero Xiao has come to pick up little Momo, and his mood is completely different.

Su Qingchen and Xia Xiao both agreed that it would be better for Xia Xiao to stay in the car, so Xia Xiao did not get out.

There were more and more students at the school gate. Xiao Daxia saw little Momo through the car window. He was still thin, but had grown a lot taller. Su Qingchen walked towards the car with him, talking and laughing.

Before getting in the car, Su Qingchen said to Xiao Momo as if he was watching a good show, "I have prepared a surprise for you in the car."

Little Momo opened the car door with some anticipation, but when she saw the huge hero Xiao in the car, her smile instantly disappeared.

Hero Xiao smiled at Xiao Momo, and Xiao Momo slammed the door shut again.

Su Qingchen was waiting to clean up the mess, so he didn't get in the car.

"In front." Little Momo said to Su Qingchen with a stern face.

"Of course that's no problem."

Little Momo opened the passenger door and got in.

Everything went as expected, so Su Qingchen was not embarrassed at all. He just stared at Xiao Daxia through the rearview mirror while driving, asking him to speak.

"I bought you some snacks, strawberry flavored." Xiao Daxia said as he handed the snacks to the front.

Little Momo sat in his seat, holding his right arm with his left hand and his left arm with his right hand, hugging himself tightly, not moving or answering.

"Then I'll take it first and take it home to eat later." Hero Xiao has grown up and can finish his own sentences.

"I'm spending the New Year at home this time, celebrating your 18th birthday with you, and I've prepared the gifts." Hero Xiao talked about his itinerary.

Little Momo still didn't say anything.

"So what are your plans for these days at home?" Su Qingchen asked.

"Let me pick up little Momo. I'll go to Brother Mozhu's practice field during his class and pick him up after school."

This sentence successfully established a dialogue with Xiao Momo. Before Su Qingchen could speak, Xiao Momo said, "No need!"

"We used to have Brother Wenjin to help us, but now Brother Xiaochen is running the store alone and it's very tiring. He has to get up an hour earlier to pick you up in the morning. If I help him take you there, he can rest a little longer."

"Walk!" said little Momo.

"Little O, it's not safe to be alone. We're worried if you go alone. If you want to walk, I'll walk you."

Little Momo was silent for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Drop out!"

"What are you doing? Don't make things difficult for yourself by quarreling. If you are annoyed with him, you can let him go back to the army. Why do you have to drop out of school? If you drop out of school, you will see him every day, right? If you go to school, you can hide for a while." Su Qingchen said.

"Give it to me." This sentence was said to Su Qingchen.

"Send it away! Am I someone who can't get up? We don't need that one hour!" Su Qingchen said.

"I'm fine. I'll accompany you to see him off," said Hero Xiao.

"Is it okay?" Su Qingchen asked Xiao Momo.

"No!" Little Momo had no room for this.

"Then I'll drive my car and follow you." This was the last stubbornness of Hero Xiao.

"Is this okay?" Su Qingchen conveyed the message in person.

"Whatever!" Little Momo said.

"Did you hear that? It's up to you, we have no right to interfere!" Su Qingchen said.

"understood."

When I got home, Mo Zhu had already prepared dinner.

"Come back together?" Mo Zhu was a little surprised to see the three of them coming back together.

"In theory, yes." Su Qingchen said.

Mo Zhu looked at Xiao Momo's sour face, hugged him and said, "Go wash your hands and come to eat quickly."

"Ah."

Little Momo went back to the room first.

"Find a way yourself." Mo Zhu said to Xia Xiao.

"Got it." Then he put the snacks he bought for little Momo into the snack cabinet.

"I'll go to your company tomorrow?" said Xiao Daxia.

"What? Are you having a seizure again?"

"No, I only go when Momo goes to school. I'm home when he's home."

"That's more like it, that's fine. If I don't have the equipment you need, let me know and I'll get it for you."

They waited for a while but little Momo didn't come down.

"I'll go see him." Su Qingchen said.

"I'll go too." Hero Xiao stood up.

"You'd better sit down. Where do you get the confidence that he will open the door for you?"

Hero Xiao curled his lips and sat down again.

Su Qingchen knocked on the door, and little Momo opened it without delay.

"What are you doing? Why don't you go downstairs to eat?"

"I'm not hungry..." Little Momo sat down on his big strawberry and lay down.

"What do you mean you're not hungry? I asked you if you were hungry as soon as I left the school gate, and you said you were hungry."

Little Momo felt like he was being tricked again and turned his head to the side.

"What did I teach you in the car? You can't treat yourself badly no matter what the problem is. Are you going to starve yourself just because he's back? What a silly child, you should have eaten his share too and let him starve."

“I can’t eat it…” Little Momo felt a little useless.

"I'm just saying that. You have to be determined to win. Why are you hiding? This house is yours, and that dining table is yours too. Just because he comes back, you don't want them anymore?"

"Hate."

"I know he's annoying. I slapped him the moment he came into the room!"

"Slap, him?" Little Momo's eyes were full of shock.

"Yeah, that slap was loud, that's what he deserved. He made you angry after all. If that doesn't work, go slap him later. Make him apologize, and keep slapping him until you calm down."

Little Momo never thought that Su Qingchen could describe such a bloody scene. To him, Su Qingchen had always been a fair, fragrant and good-tempered Omega.

Little Momo hadn't recovered from the shock yet, so Su Qingchen asked seriously, "Can you do it? If you can't do it, I'll help you. You just watch from the side."

"……Need not."

"Then think about how you can calm down? If you want the moon, I'll ask him to find a way."

"No need."

"No need to. We've been mad at him all this time. He brought this upon himself. But we have to eat. You didn't eat well when he wasn't home much at first, and now that he's back you're not eating either. Are you trying to make me feel bad? Well, if you don't want to eat, I won't eat either. Let those two Mo guys eat by themselves, and I'll keep you company."

Little Momo sat up from the big strawberry and pulled Su Qingchen's hand: "Eat."

Seeing Su Qingchen and Xiao Momo coming down the stairs, Mo Zhu and Xiao Daxia both retracted their necks that were stretched out two miles away.

When they walked to the dining table, Xiao Momo didn't sit down and said to Su Qingchen, "I'll follow you."

"Oh, you! Sit over there!" Su Qingchen said to Xia Xiao.

"Ah? Oh." Hero Xiao thought for a moment, then stood up and sat next to Mo Zhu.

Little Momo took her seat only after Su Qingchen sat down opposite Xiao Daxia.

"Okay, everyone's here! As for the procedure, we must first welcome Hero Xiao home. This heartless bastard only returned home on the 702nd day after attending the military academy. I hold a grudge against him and just wrote it down in my notebook. Then, let's raise a glass. Little Momo, don't raise your glass and don't drink with him!"

"Yeah." Little Momo had to agree with this.

The remaining three people each took a drink and drank it.

"I'm telling you, can you please stop sending us money? Save more for yourself." Su Qingchen said.

"I saved some of it and gave you some."

"You know it's just a little bit. Your brother Mo Zhu and I don't need it. Just save it for yourself."

"It's just a token of my appreciation. Other students send money to their families."

"Other students may have families in need, but for our family, you can judge for yourself...Instead of sending money, you might as well come back more often when you have time."

"understood."

"I heard that you always take extra credits in school. You don't have to work so hard, okay?" Mo Zhu said.

"I figured since I'm already in school, I might as well learn as much as I can."

"Oh, you don't suffer any loss." Su Qingchen teased.

"The reason we adopted you is, first of all, that we are confident that we can provide you with a life without worries about food and clothing. You all don't have to be so sensible, okay?" Su Qingchen said again.

"I see. I don't find it hard either."

"It's easy to be embarrassed if children don't tell the truth. He broke his leg in the first year of cross-country training, and broke his hand in the second year of tactical training. Do you think I don't know?" Mo Zhu said while eating.

"What?! When? Why didn't you say it?" Su Qingchen exploded.

Little Momo also put down his chopsticks and listened quietly with his head down.

"This... this... it's normal to get hurt. I'm all healed."

"Oh, the child has grown up. He doesn't tell his family about anything. That's what happens when people get older. No one cares about them."

"No, I'm not worried about you guys. It's not a serious injury."

"Even if it's not a serious injury, you still have to tell your family. Besides, who told you that a broken limb isn't a serious injury?"

"There's a hospital in school that can treat you..."

"Who has a family member who is sick and has to go to the hospital to treat it alone? Oh, I know, your brother Wen Jin, he was in the hospital alone to treat his fracture. What kind of people are his family members? Are they the same as us?" Su Qingchen was really angry.

"Then... uh... next time I'll call you..."

"Drop out of school!" Su Qingchen said.

"Huh?" Everyone at the table was stunned.

Even little Momo opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Qingchen.

"What? Is there any reason why I have to go to this military academy? I've been there for two years and have broken bones twice. What kind of injuries do you plan to get in the next two years?"

Mo Zhu and Xiao Daxia's minds were racing, thinking about how to respond.

"Change major? Study civil service?" said Mo Zhu.

"Ah?" Hero Xiao didn't expect Mo Zhu to say that.

Little Momo couldn't help it and forced a smile.

When Xiao Daxia saw Xiao Momo laughing, he laughed too, and then Xiao Momo stopped laughing.

"I've adapted to it now. I'll be more careful next time. Besides, all the civil service positions are occupied by Omegas. It would be too embarrassing for me to go..."

"Then, give me another chance?" Mo Zhu asked Su Qingchen.

Seeing that Su Qingchen didn't say anything, Mo Zhu started to make amends again: "It's not easy for a child to persist for two years. I heard that he even made some achievements this semester."

"Achieve meritorious service?" Su Qingchen asked.

"Oh, it's not a very professional meritorious service..." Hero Xiao was a little embarrassed.

"Since you have made great contributions, you must be a professional. Tell me about it." Su Qingchen became interested.

"That was at most a good deed... I just found two little Os who had escaped from a child labor camp during a joint training session, and then I blocked the child labor camp. Plus, some of the children I rescued were orphans of martyrs, and I was still a trainee after all, so even if I did a meritorious service, it was more of an encouragement..."

"You are so awesome?" Su Qingchen said with some pride.

"It's not so bad, haha..." After all, I have seen many cases of desperate fights with terrorists or enemy forces in the military academy. In theory, things like child labor camps are not the army's responsibility to deal with. Xiao Daxia felt that the achievement he had made was a bit like picking up a bargain.

"Why didn't you tell your family?" Mo Zhu asked.

"It's not a big deal... Hey..."

"Then why didn't you tell us?" Su Qingchen asked Mo Zhu.

"After all, we should at least talk about the child in front of him..."

"Brother Mo Zhu, why do you know all this?"

"I am the director of your school."

"Ah?" This time it was Hero Xiao's turn to be kept in the dark.

"What? It's a tradition in our family not to tell each other when something happens." Su Qingchen said.

"So...does the school know about our relationship?" asked Hero Xiao.

"You probably don't know. I didn't tell you."

"Then you always ask the school about me, but the school doesn't know?"

"Who asked about you? Important matters like the students' injuries and meritorious service are reported every month."

"oh oh……"

"If you have anything else to say, tell us everything now." Su Qingchen said.

"Nothing more, is that it..." Hero Xiao tried to end this part of the conversation.

"Think about it again." Mo Zhu said.

"What else did they report to the school board?"

"About internship at the front line." Mo Zhu suggested.

"Oh... I went to the Yuecheng war zone last year, ahem, and interned for a month." Hero Xiao felt guilty.

"What?!" Sure enough, Su Qingchen was furious again.

"Who told you that going to the battlefield is called internship?"

"We're not completely on the front lines... We're mainly learning..."

"Your role in this is to send your own child to the battlefield?" Su Qingchen looked at Mo Zhu seriously.

"Their group did not go to the front line. I also arranged a separate escort team."

Hero Xiao suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, as his fate was determined by God and not by himself.
