Yan Nanfei subtly raised an eyebrow; she had discovered his weakness.

Once Da Ya is settled, Yan Nanfei will make sure he never smells her scent again in his lifetime!

"Sister, I'm so amazing, can I kiss you?" Tiger Owl whispered, his tender face flushed, his puppy-like eyes gazing longingly at Yan Nanfei.

Yan Nanfei's heart clenched suddenly. This tiger cub is so alluring!

"No way!" Yan Nanfei refused outright, not even glancing at the milky color.

She loves handsome men, but that doesn't mean she'll sleep with every handsome man she catches!

If that's the case, even if she lives to be a thousand years old, she still won't be able to date all the handsome men in the world!

“Alright, I can wait.” Tiger Owl spoke as familiarly as if he were an old friend he had known for decades, showing no awkwardness whatsoever when facing Yan Nanfei.

"As long as my sister has me in her heart, I believe she will kiss me within half an hour."

The tiger owl's fantasy seems a bit too much.

Why didn't he say half a minute later?

"Sister, does your silence mean you agree?" Hu Xiao seemed very eager. "Then why don't we kiss now? I can't wait!"

Yan Nanfei frowned deeply. This child really isn't very bright.

Why do you have to kiss everyone you meet?

"Calm down. Our relationship hasn't reached the point of kissing." Yan Nanfei wasn't a beast; she wouldn't just take any man in front of her.

The tiger owl's eyes instantly reddened, and it sniffed: "Alright, I'll wait half an hour."

Yan Nanfei: "?"

"What do you like about me?" Yan Nanfei wanted an answer.

"I love you even though you hit me, sister." The tiger owl was lost in memories: "From childhood to adulthood, only my mother ever hit me, but after she died, no one dared to hit me anymore. But you, sister, dared to! I fell in love with you right away!"

Yan Nanfei's expression was exactly like that of a speechless female bodhisattva..."

"So, your mother isn't hitting you anymore?" Yan Nanfei kindly advised, "Why don't you go home and let your mother give you a beating?"

Just stop bothering her!

The tiger owl shook its head, a bloodthirsty red glint flashing in its narrow phoenix eyes: "I killed her, so she can never hit me again."

His tone was light and airy, yet it carried endless hatred, as if he wanted to dig his mother out of her grave and kill her hundreds of times over…

Yan Nanfei: "..."

No, what is this?

She came to buy rice, how did she end up running into this lunatic?!

Yan Nanfei didn't dare to hit him again, and could only say tremblingly, "Why don't you go and have your head checked again?"

The tiger owl was caught up in the thrill of killing.

But when he heard Yan Nanfei show concern for him again, he immediately put on a sweet smile and said, "Okay, sister, I'll go right now!"

The tiger owl was as obedient as he left, without any hesitation.

In a flash, they disappeared through the doorway.

The wind that rose made the door sway back and forth.

"Stay longer, visit more clinics, don't rush back!" Yan Nanfei shouted towards the empty doorway.

"Okay, sister!" came the tiger owl's reply from afar.

Yan Nanfei ran to the window and saw the tiger owl disappear into the street.

How could she possibly let such a golden opportunity slip by?

I picked up my sleeping daughter and ran away!

If you don't leave now, you'll become the second one!

Yan Nanfei didn't want to die!

Know when to back down; life comes first!

If Yan Nanfei had martial arts skills, she wouldn't be afraid of the tiger owl, but the problem is she doesn't!

Besides, the tiger owl reacts so quickly, even if she wanted to play tricks, she probably wouldn't be able to escape his notice.

Yan Nanfei carried Daya and left Doufu Town, heading towards the surrounding villages.

Under a big tree, Yan Nanfei took out some Tiger Balm and sprayed it on her neck, hands, and clothes. She also sprayed Tiger Balm on Daya.

This medicated oil, both cooling and spicy, is perfect for counteracting the tiger owl's keen sense of smell.

Daya was woken up by the smell of Tiger Balm, and she didn't seem to like the smell.

"Auntie?" She opened her eyes in confusion, frowned her little eyebrows, covered her mouth with her hand, and said in a muffled voice, "What is this smell? It stinks."

"Da Ya, this scent will protect us from mosquito bites." Yan Nanfei sat under the tree with Da Ya in his arms, thought for a long time, and then asked her, "Da Ya, how about Auntie finds you a home?"

Family?

Daya looked up and met Yan Nanfei's gaze: "Is this Aunt's house?"

There was a hopeful look in her eyes.

Yan Nanfei shook his head: "It's not your aunt's house, it's that your aunt and you are helping each other find a home, so you can be their daughter, okay?"

Yan Nanfei's rejection extinguished the light in Da Ya's eyes.

But she was very sensible and didn't pester Yan Nanfei to go home with her.

"Will Auntie come to see me often in the future?" Daya asked, hugging her tightly.

Yan Nanfei smiled gently, stroking her soft hair: "Auntie is very busy, and may not be able to come to see you for a long time, but Auntie will think of Daya and will come to see you whenever she has time."

Yan Nanfei is currently focused on his career and very busy, so he probably won't have much time to visit Daya often.

So it's better for her to speak frankly than to tell a white lie and leave Daya with the unrealistic hope that they'll meet soon.

"Okay." Daya was very obedient; she understood. If Yan Nanfei found her a home, she wouldn't have to endure the wind and sun and go hungry anymore.

But would anyone actually want her?

Yan Nanfei patted her little head: "Mmm."

Yan Nanfei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll find you a good family. They won't bully you."

Yan Nanfei took Daya to two or three villages, but no one wanted to adopt the child.

Until the very end, there was only one family left in the village. Although their house was thatched, their front door and courtyard were kept clean and tidy.

Yan Nanfei, holding Daya's hand, called out, "Is anyone home?"

A short while later, a middle-aged woman wearing faded clothes came out with a simple smile on her face: "Someone's here, someone's here."

The middle-aged woman opened the door and let them in: "Who are you two?"

Yan Nanfei explained his purpose and recounted Daya's tragic past. The middle-aged woman's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She looked at Daya with heartache and said, "Sister, I'm willing to adopt this child, as long as she doesn't mind that I'm poor!"

"Where is your husband?" Yan Nanfei couldn't just listen to her; he wanted to see her husband's attitude.

The middle-aged woman said, "I am infertile, and no one wants to marry me, so you don't need to worry about the child being bullied if she stays with me. I will protect her."

Yan Nanfei nodded slightly, led Daya aside, and asked her, "Daya, do you think this aunt can be your mother?"

Daya's dark eyes shone brightly: "Yes, that's fine. This aunt looks a lot like my mother. I like her."

The middle-aged woman behind them naturally heard what Daya said, and a great weight was lifted from her heart.
