Today, Cyndia woke up earlier than usual. This time, without her sister's reminder, she obediently ran to wash her face and brush her teeth. She also combed her hair. She ran to the balcony and poured some water on Liliana's head, who was photosynthesizing. Then, she ran to the door and gave a bone biscuit to the fox girl who had just come out to bask in the sun for fifteen minutes. Then, she climbed up a tree in the courtyard and said good morning to the crow couple. Then, she went to look for the little crow who was leading a dozen mini Medivh in the courtyard to find grass seeds to eat. Then, she gave those little guys a bunch of green leaves. Then, she ran back to the living room and said goodbye to everyone in the living room. I watched from the side until the end. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore.
"I say … I'm asking you to go home, not to let you die. Is there a need to make the atmosphere so tragic?"
Cyndia's expression was like that of Mrs. Xiangzi. From the side, it was as if she had just left the filming crew of Camel Xiangzi. "Uncle, do you know how terrible my mom's cooking is? My mom sent me a message just now. She said that she cooked a whole table of food for me to welcome her daughter back … "
I silently looked at Sandora, then my gaze returned to Cyndia. "Little girl, you're still too inexperienced. You haven't seen true fear in this world … Sandora, calm down! I didn't say anything! That was just your imagination! Anveena, hurry up and hide your wok. Stop Sandora from going to the kitchen … Wait! Sandora, what are you doing! Let go of the rice cooker! If you have any problems, come at Liliana! "
Cyndia's "Mrs. Xiangzi" expression disappeared. She looked at the family with a joyful expression. "Yeah, Uncle's house is lively every day. I'll go home and tell Dad about what happened here. Then, he won't nag me and Jiadi for drawing doors on the wall every day."
I turned to look out the window. It was a sunny day today. The little crow was leading her Splits in foraging for food in the yard. A group of mini Medivh that was only ten centimeters tall was hopping around in the bushes, looking for edible grass seeds and tender sprouts. A mini Medivh that was separated from the group jumped onto the windowsill. She raised her inseparable eggshell and was collecting dew from the pot of flowers on the windowsill. However, there was no dew at this time, so the little one looked a little disappointed. The older sister smiled and used a teaspoon to drip a few drops of tea into the little one's eggshell. The mini Crow Goddess instantly became happy. With the eggshell on her head, she went to find her sisters, leaving behind a string of excited chirps.
In the living room, a translucent jelly creature was sitting on the sofa by the window, swaying lazily. This Slime that was defined as both a toy and a pet should be the most leisurely creature in the family. It basked in the sun while observing the people passing by curiously. It would transform into someone in the family at any time to increase its presence. This kind of camouflage should be a conditioned reflex action, because I couldn't see that this Slime had any intelligence. I observed for a while and realized that this Slime's stomach was filled with a mess of things, including Shallow Shallow's Rubik's Cube, the older sister's comb, Little Bubble's toys, and even a small princess shoe that was as small as a toy. This should belong to one of the dolls. This elemental creature known as the Arcane Colloid Creature didn't have high-level intelligence, but it still had animal-level thinking abilities. It also had many strange hobbies, such as collecting things that were thrown everywhere and putting them all in its stomach. I have to say that this is a good habit, because it can go almost anywhere and find discarded items from any nook and cranny. Ever since this slime named Kiroo came to our home, we have been able to find forgotten trinkets in its stomach every day.
Still having a headache from accidentally dropping a coin into the seam of the bed? Still sad from the postcard that was filled with memories that you forgot somewhere? Don't worry, hurry up and raise a Slime! — — Speaking of which, why did I suddenly think of this?
Little Bubble was sitting next to this Slime, constantly trying to communicate with it. After many unsuccessful attempts, the little girl took out a straw and stuck it into the Slime's body, seemingly intending to drink some water. I wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Little Bubble's face was blackened by the crackling arcane sparks, and she ran back with a sullen face. I smiled helplessly and carried her to the bathroom to wash her face.
"Hey, idiot, did you see my shoes?" Just as I settled Little Bubble down, Little Lamp fluttered down from the second floor, wearing one shoe on one foot and a white cotton sock on the other. "Where are the new shoes that I bought from the SD section two days ago?"
I pointed to the side of the window. "Ask Xi Zhi Lang for them. Who told you to casually throw things around? They were probably treated as junk."
The little puppet angrily looked for Xi Zhi Lang to settle the score. A moment later, a series of crackling arcane sparks and Little Lamp's sharp curses came from the side of the window. Then, the unlucky puppet returned victoriously, half of its body was black, and it had an afro on its head. It was holding the new shoes that it had just snatched back. "Idiot, help me bathe and comb my hair!"
I: "… When will you remember how to communicate with that jelly?"
"None of your business!"
It was like this every day. Every morning was as lively and interesting as ever. Though there were always a lot of things to worry about, and a lot of depressing things to deal with, life had to go on. Who was I supposed to put on a long face for? With these interesting fellows around, life was a daily routine, and everything else was just to let nature take its course. Sometimes I really do think that way. Although I knew that if Sandora heard what I said, she would inevitably complain about it. But once I relaxed, I couldn't help but fall into the mental state of a middle-aged retired worker.
I carried the black puppet to bathe her. This was quite fast. After all, bathing a puppet that wasn't afraid of choking water or the glare of the shampoo would save you a lot of trouble. Soak her in the water, then lather her whole body and wipe her with a towel. I personally felt that this process was as difficult as washing dishes. However, I definitely couldn't let Little Lamp know about this. Otherwise, she would bite me and hang on my head for an entire day. She might even refuse to eat in between. After the little fellow was cleaned up, I placed her under a special dryer to be warmed by the warm air. This dryer was one of my ingenious inventions. It was pieced together by three dryers. The bottom of the dryer was a grid removed from the oven. It was specially used to blow dry the puppets. To use it, I placed the puppet on the grid and turned on the warm air for five minutes. The puppets liked the wind speed of the middle range. As for the motivation for inventing this thing … It was because it was extremely difficult to wipe the body of a puppet with ball joints and a keyhole with a towel. So, I invented this thing. At least with her, Little Lamp no longer had an excuse that the towel fibers would get stuck in the keyhole and refuse to take a bath. Anyone who had raised a child would know how difficult it was to coax a child into a bathtub.
At first, the puppet strongly protested against being placed under the dryer. She thought it was an insult to her rights as a puppet. But after two times, she couldn't help herself. Now, even if someone didn't hold her down, she would still crawl under the hot air. "The feeling of 40 to 50 degrees Celsius of warm, dry air blowing into the keyhole." That was how she described how the dryer made her feel.
It was really an incomprehensible feeling … I felt like I had raised a bunch of strange fellows.
When I took out the clean puppet, I realized that there were two more people in the living room. I even knew them. One was God Father and the other … was Icetis's father!
Uncle Kvainn, long time no see. Are you here today to bring this unlucky girl back to get rid of a pest for the people?
"Yo, I'm here to bring my daughter home." God Father saw me and immediately waved his hand enthusiastically. Cyndia had already turned into a black cat and was rolling around comfortably in his arms. Heh heh, it was really … really an unconventional scene of family happiness. "Sora is really rushing her. She isn't used to Cyndia being out for so long."
Cyndia, who was in her black cat form, raised her paw and patted her father's chin. She muttered, "Meow … Err, no, Mom is just worrying for nothing. She will spoil me sooner or later and turn me into a brat, just like Xiaoxue."
Do you think that you aren't bratty enough now?
Last night, when Cyndia said that she wanted to go home, I received news from the Protoss that they would send someone to pick her up today. I didn't expect that it would be God Father and Icetis's father. I thought that there would at least be a large group of Protoss envoys and diplomatic groups. I thought to myself that no matter what, I would have to host a state banquet in the morning. As expected of the Protoss of the Star Field. They couldn't be arranged according to common sense. God Father's actions were probably similar to an uncle returning home from work to pick up his daughter who was entrusted to be taken care of by his neighbor. I was f * cking overthinking things.
"To be honest, this girl must have caused quite a bit of trouble, right?" God Father chuckled as he scratched Cyndia's chin. He looked like he was playing with a cat. If you didn't say it out loud, no one would be able to connect the little black cat in his arms with the word "daughter". One of the biggest similarities between God Father and me was that we both raised many strange creatures around us.
"No, to be honest, Cyndia is really well-behaved." I thought about it and made the most honest judgment. "I'm not being polite. Cyndia is really well-behaved. It would be great if my group of children were half as easy to manage as Cyndia."
God Father laughed heartily. The little black cat in his arms rolled around in excitement. It wasn't easy for a master like Cyndia to receive the evaluation of a well-behaved child. It seemed that the living environment really did determine everything. What if she was with a child outside of our family?
"Someone else's child." Xiaoxue had half a piece of dried salted fish in her mouth as she floated by with a face full of resentment. Her words made me sigh. I never thought that I would become the cause of the "someone else's child effect".
"Uncle, long time no see." I saw that God Father was busy playing with his daughter and didn't have time to pay attention to me. Thus, I went over to Uncle Kouyin. This flashy uncle who always dressed up like a vampire noble in a Demon Hunter movie was currently looking at his daughter. Icetis was sitting opposite him with her legs crossed as she tore into a vacuum-packed chicken drumstick. There was a strange silence between the father and daughter. My voice finally broke the silence between the two. Uncle Kouyin smiled and turned to greet me. "Ah, Chen, long time … Has it really been a long time?"
I laughed dryly. "You took it for real for a really long time."
"This brat only has this much potential." God Father's voice came from afar. He was obviously referring to Uncle Kouyin who was sitting upright with a solemn expression. "Ever since Icetis came back, he has become even worse than before. The moment he heard that there was a mission here, he would immediately jump out because he misses his daughter. But look at how depressed he is when we meet, he can't even speak …"
Uncle Kouyin's face was covered in cold sweat but he didn't dare to refute God Father's teasing. I suddenly had a ridiculous feeling as I listened on the side. You said that the seniority around you is messed up!
Uncle Kouyin is Icetis's father, so I call him Uncle. God Father is the creator of all Gods, so he is Uncle Kouyin's living ancestor. I am a Void Creature from the same generation as God Father, so I call God Father Second Brother. Cyndia is God Father's daughter, so she calls me Uncle. Cyndia is Icetis's childhood friend, so they are sisters. Based on this, Icetis should call me Uncle and I should call her Icetis … I reckon that I can call her whatever I want. In this huge mess, the most amazing thing is that when you pick out every single one of them, it actually makes sense!
Ever since I got to know this bunch of fellows, I have been walking on the edge of ethical issues every day.
Uncle Kouyin came to see his daughter, but he didn't know what to say after meeting her. Icetis is also very close to her father, but this female hooligan isn't the type to roll around in her parents' embrace and act coquettishly. That's why the two of them are here, just like a pair of father and daughter who are at odds with each other. However, it isn't up to me to worry, the two of them will probably be like this for the rest of their lives. Just as I was about to turn around and leave, the little doll flew over and hugged my head, shaking it vigorously, "Idiot, idiot! Did you see my hair clip? "
Just as I was about to suggest that she go to Xizhio's place to take a look, I heard Uncle Kouyin's cheerful voice from behind, "Aiya, isn't this Little Lamp? Come, come, come, come sit with grandpa for a while …"
I was speechless, "…" Icetis was speechless.
The little doll was speechless, "… Who is this uncle?" The little doll was quick to forget things that she doesn't care about. At this moment, she had already forgotten about Uncle Kouyin whom she had met a few times.
"Dad! Why are you acting like this again?! " Icetis finally couldn't keep silent and roared at her father. However, the latter didn't care about his daughter's outburst and just chuckled as he reached out to the little doll, "Come, let grandpa hug you. Look at your appearance, look at your eyes, look at your hair, look at your wings, look at your expression, you are really the same as my little girl, just that you are a little smaller … This child nearly hit the wall when she flew down, she hasn't gone to flying training yet, right?"
As he said that, the little doll finally remembered who the uncle in front of her was. She shuddered and hung onto my back, only her head popping out, "I remember, it is that crazy uncle!"
I calmly took two steps back and smiled dryly at Kouyin, "My daughter hasn't been able to get married for a long time and finally got so depressed that she started to hallucinate."
The moment I said that, two people were provoked. One was Kouyin whose daughter hadn't been able to get married for a long time, he immediately squatted at the side and drew circles. The other was Icetis who hadn't been able to get married for a long time. She grinned at me and provocatively hooked her finger, "If I call you, do you dare to answer?"
I wasn't going to fall for it. I turned around and walked away. Icetis's flustered and exasperated voice came from behind me … However, if I stopped now, it would really be over. With Icetis's moral integrity, she would dare to drag her father to beat me up …
At this moment, breakfast was already prepared. My sister came out to greet everyone to eat. There were two unexpected guests at home today, but there was no need to worry about the food. After all, ever since Sandora came to this house, we had been preparing every meal according to the canteen's quota. Father chuckled as he carried Cyndia and sat down. His expression showed that he was determined to eat until he died here. I suddenly thought of something, "Right, Cyndia said just now that her mother has prepared a table full of food. She's waiting for the two of you to go back to eat …"
"Yeah." Father nodded heavily, "Sola told me to hurry back after picking up my daughter. However, since you have already prepared the food here, right? Come, Cyndia, hurry up and eat until you're stuffed! "
I was speechless, "…" Dare I ask, are you really Father?
"If you're really stuffed here, will you still be able to eat when you go back?" Icetis didn't hold back her words and even dared to tease Father. Of course, Father didn't mind. As he moved the food on his plate, he agreed, "My goal is to eat less when I go back. Besides, since Emperor Schilling invited me with great hospitality, it's not unreasonable for me to bring my daughter to stay for a meal, right? Sola will understand."
Everyone at the table was dumbfounded. Then, they all nodded in realization. At this moment, Father even threw me a sad look and muttered softly, "I'm just trying to satisfy my cravings …"
"…" At this moment, I really wanted to use Sandora's culinary skills. I was certain that if I did it once, the number of people coming to my house for a meal would be reduced by at least two-thirds.
Father was here to bring his daughter home. Thus, he got up to leave after finishing his meal. Uncle Khuyin was busy with one thing during the meal: trying to get close to the little doll and feed her. I reckoned that he more or less saw a shadow of Icetis in the little doll when she was still relatively obedient, which was why he was so enthusiastic. The little doll had been dodging and blocking the entire meal. When this' perverted uncle 'finally prepared to leave, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Child, let me tell you, it's not that I'm impatient, but you're really not young anymore …" When Father opened up the teleportation door, Uncle Khuyin pulled Icetis over for the last time. He whispered so softly that everyone in the living room could hear him. "You can't continue to be crazy like this …"
Icetis had already been going crazy for a long time. At this moment, she raised her hand and pointed at me without saying a word. "Alright, alright. I've discussed it with this idiot. No one wants me anymore, he wants me! Are you satisfied now? "
I was stunned. "When are we going to …"
Before I could finish my sentence, Icetis glared at me fiercely. The meaning behind her gaze was: If you dare to spout nonsense, I'm going to beat you up — — Thus, I immediately shut up. Uncle Khuyin seemed to have thought of something. He seemed to feel that he had gotten a satisfactory answer. Thus, he turned around and left happily.
… This stressful morning was over.
