CHAPTER XXVIII

Shi'er ran all the way back to the cabin, still panting slightly, and when Lin Mu saw him hurriedly running back from outside, he asked him what was wrong. Shi'er shook her head and didn't answer.

After leaving that group, Shi'er found out that he didn't feel it, but at this time, he only felt that his nose and lips were hurting. He felt that something was wrong, and carefully poked his tongue into his front teeth, and then he was crying again. It turned out that the only remaining front tooth was a little loose after such a blow. Shi'er was extremely frustrated, and couldn't believe it, so she carefully took her tongue and pushed it again, and found that the tooth on her tongue was loosening even more, and it was almost falling off, so she was so frightened that she didn't dare to move again.

Lin Mu, who was on the side, saw that the expression on his little face was changing, and he felt strange in his heart, and asked again, "What are you doing?"

Picking up his drooping head, he replied, "Real person...... I...... My teeth ......" he said, with a weeping expression.

Lin Mu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. In the past month, the teeth in Shi'er's mouth have fallen out one by one, and sometimes his speech is a little leaky. As soon as Lin Mu looks interesting, he always likes to tease him. At this time, when he heard Shi'er say this, he couldn't help but smile and wave his hand to beckon him.

Shi'er obediently moved in his direction step by step, and raised his head to look at Lin Muyi. Lin Muyi lowered his voice and said softly: "Good, open your mouth and let me see." ”

Shi'er hesitated a little, but still opened her mouth obediently. Lin Mu looked at the front teeth that had been lost before, but he didn't see a new missing tooth, so he asked again, "Where is it? Which tooth has fallen out again?"

Shi'er tilted her head, opened her mouth wide to show Lin Mu, her speech was a little slurred, she pointed her finger at the remaining front tooth, and replied, "Here!

Lin Muyi gently brushed his fingers over the few teeth that were still alive in his upper row, touched the crumbling front teeth, and found that the tooth had almost fallen out, and only the root was still connected to the gums.

Lin Muyi pretended not to know, looked at it, and asked, "Where is it? Which one is it?"

Shi'er noticed his fingers brushing the loose front tooth, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, but he still didn't dare to move, remembering that he was sweating profusely: "There! That's it...... It is...... That front tooth that the real man just touched!"

Lin Muyi asked leisurely again, "Which one?"

Shi'er was so anxious that she didn't dare to shut her mouth, she just whispered, Lin Muyi was secretly funny, her heart was happy, her face was still silent, her fingers touched her teeth, and finally stopped on the loose front tooth and asked, "Is this it?"

Shi'er's heart was about to rise to her throat, and she was about to answer, it was that one, but she felt that Lin Mu's fingers were slightly forced, and Shi'er only felt a slight soreness, and that tooth had been broken off by Lin Muyi.

Shi'er's eyes widened in shock: "Real person, you...... You...... How can you ......"

Lin Mu looked indifferent: "It's going to fall anyway, if you are so careful, it will fall sooner or later." Why don't I help you? As he spoke, he put the tooth back into the palm of Shi'er's hand, "Well, give it back to you, your precious front teeth." ”

Shi'er was bullied miserably, her little face was flushed, but she dared not speak out against Lin Muyi, holding the poor front tooth in her hand and not knowing what to do.

Lin Muyi was in a very good mood, Shi'er couldn't help lowering his head, and complained in a low voice: "Real person...... Real people are too good ......"

Lin Muyi pretended not to hear, touched Shi'er's head, and said, "You just ran over in a hurry, what are you doing in a hurry?"

Shi'er looked frustrated, and replied, "I just saw the sunset over the sea on the deck, and I want to ask a real person to go out and watch it together." I ran in a hurry on the road and accidentally collided with someone, and my teeth ...... as a result."

Lin Muyi didn't care about what he said, just stared at Shi'er's mouth. Shi'er looked up and saw Lin Muyi's appearance of smiling but not smiling, and immediately closed his mouth tightly, not wanting to be seen that he was missing a front tooth in his mouth, and the aggrieved and completely unrebellious appearance made Lin Muyi laugh, rubbed his hair again, and led the reluctant Shi'er out of the room and into the cabin.

It was evening, and dinner was served to the passengers on board. There are more than a dozen tables in the main cabin, and some people sit in twos and threes, but most of them choose not to eat in the bedroom.

As soon as the two of them entered the hall, they heard a crisp voice on the side: "Hey, hey, little boy, little boy!

Shi'er turned his head to look, but saw that the little girl named Qing'er who he almost bumped into earlier was happily waving at him, smiling like a flower, and there was still the tower-like Ah Luan sitting beside him, but the beautiful woman was not seen.

Lin Muyi also saw the girl and frowned slightly. Seeing that she seemed to be waving her hand to Shi'er, as if she knew him, she looked down at Shi'er inquiringly.

Shi'er didn't expect to see the girl again so soon, and he didn't expect the other party to look so familiar with him, and explained to Lin Muyi in a low voice: "I almost bumped into her on the deck just now." ”

Lin Mu nodded, and saw that the girl was still waving her hand at Shi'er and beckoning Shi'er over, so he touched Shi'er's head and said, "Go over and talk to her." ”

Shi'er answered, followed Lin Muyi to the table, and sat down next to Na Qing'er.

Qing'er saw Shi'er sitting over, and squinted even more, first smiled sweetly at him, and then hired Tingting to salute Lin Mu and his party.

Lin Muyi couldn't help frowning even deeper.

The girl looked no more than ten years old, brightly dressed, extremely beautiful, very cute when she smiled, and there was a faint purple aura on her body, faintly revealing a sense of luxury and grace.

Lin Muyi is not proficient in the art of looking at qi, but he has cultivated in the golden pill period, and he can also know a little bit about the qi of mortals who have not cultivated. He looked at the girl called Qing'er and gave him a salute, and the purple qi on his head slowly coiled, and it was faintly condensed into a dragon shape, Lin Muyi's brows furrowed even tighter.

He saluted back, and Na Qing'er didn't say much, and several people sat down again. Xiao Er brought Lin Mu's meal to the two of them after a while, but Qing'er and Na Luan had already eaten almost enough.

Na Qing'er seemed to be very interested in Shi'er, and she was talking to Shi'er vigorously.

Shi'er has never played with children of the same age when he is so old, he was always bullied in Mingtaimen before, and then Lin Mu passed him on the sword and was never bullied again, but those children began to be a little afraid of him from when they began to dare to talk to him. In this way, this Qing'er is the first peer to talk to the same age as Qiqi.

In addition, Qing'er has a handsome face, always smiles and welcomes people, and is very enthusiastic about Shi'er, and Shi'er has long had a good impression of her. It's just that he is missing a tooth in his mouth, and he is afraid that people will see him, so he keeps his mouth tight, and only occasionally responds to one or two sounds, and his face is tense. Young people are always like this, maybe when they grow up, when they look back, they will think that changing teeth is just a common thing, but at that time, it was a big deal, and I always didn't want people to see that they had missing teeth in their mouths and were leaking wind when they spoke.

Shi'er was silent, only took a small spoon and drank the porridge gently, and didn't talk much, but Na Qing'er had a very good temper and didn't mind, so she only talked to Shi'er vigorously.

"Little boy, my name is Qing'er, what about you, what's your name?"

Shi'er looked up and secretly looked at Lin Muyi, and found that Lin Muyi looked deaf, staring at the stuffy gourd Aluan with the iron tower opposite, no one spoke, only eating quietly, and did not pay attention to him, and his eyes did not glance at him. looked at Qing'er again, and saw her big apricot eyes looking at him brightly, blinking, and couldn't bear to refuse, so she replied in a low voice: "My name is Shi'er." ”

Qing'er laughed again when she heard this: "So your name is Shi'er!" said her voice lowered slightly, and her expression became mysterious, "I've already seen it, there are only two of us children on this boat!" Her eyes rolled and she asked again, "How old are you?"

Seeing that she was mysterious, Shi'er unconsciously lowered her voice, and her little head also came together with her: "I...... I'm eight years old. ”

Qing'er smiled: "I'm ten years old!

Shi'er blushed, peeked at Lin Muyi again, and found that he didn't seem to notice the small movements in their corners at all, so he nodded and replied, "Well, Sister Qing'er." ”

Qing'er smiled even sweeter: "Brother Shi'er!"

As she spoke, she showed a sad look again: "Does Brother Shi'er not like me?

Shi'er was afraid that she would be upset, so she hurriedly waved her hand: "No, how could I not like you...... It's just that...... It's just ......," he said, the quieter his voice became, "I ...... I lost my tooth, I'm afraid you'll laugh at me. As he spoke, he was a little stunned, and his face was a little hot.

Qing'er laughed: "What is this? How could I laugh at you?"

She looked again, Shi'er carefully opened her mouth, revealing a missing tooth, Qing'er looked at it, disagreed, looked like a person who had come over, patted Shi'er's head, and swore and said: "What is this? When I changed my teeth back then, it was even more powerful than this! Slowly new teeth will grow out!"

"Cough!" Lin Muyi listened to the two of them talking clearly beside him, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and immediately coughed lightly to cover up the past, and then looked at the stern-faced man sitting opposite, his face twitched a little, obviously he couldn't help but laugh at the children's words of these two little ones.

The two little ones raised their heads, looked at Lin Muyi, and saw that he was still eating quietly, and did not look at them, so they came together again and muttered.

"It's normal to change your teeth! Everyone does, who will laugh at you?" Qing'er continued to whisper.

Real people will. Shi'er answered silently in her heart, but she didn't say it.

But hearing Qing'er say this, he felt as if the stone that had been pressing in his heart had been put down. He had never had friends of the same age before, and he circled around Lin Mu every day. Lin Muyi has some bad intentions that are not humane to outsiders, he always likes to tease him, making him sweet and distressed, and he is always teased by Lin Muyi. Now that Qing'er is talking like this, Shi'er actually has a feeling of sharing her little secret with others, and she always feels that there are people who are experiencing the same thing as herself, and she instantly likes Qing'er even more.

went back and forth like this, the heads of the two got closer and closer, and the conversation gradually increased, and the two chatted warmly.

"Then can I go to play with you in the future?" the two chatted happily, Qing'er asked with interest, and frowned as she spoke, but she frowned and looked very good, "There are only two of us children on this boat, and no one else plays with me." ”

Hearing her say this, Shi'er also wanted to be able to play with this friend she had just made every day, and couldn't help but look at Lin Muyi, Qing'er found his gaze, also looked over, and asked pitifully: "Sir, can I go to play with Shi'er's brother in the future?"

The two little ones were muttering there, and Lin Muyi actually heard them clearly. Seeing her come to ask at this time, Lin Muyi put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at her delicate little face like flower petals, but felt that the dragon-shaped purple qi on her body was a little dazzling. I didn't want to be involved with their group more, but when I saw Shi'er also looking at him, there was a faint look of expectation in his eyes, and he couldn't say anything if he refused.

Thinking about it, Shi'er has never gotten along with his peers, and it is rare to meet a child who is about the same age as him, and the two talk so energetically, it is naturally inseparable.

He lowered his eyes and said lightly: "As long as Shi'er is willing." ”

Shi'er was stunned, and before she could speak, Qing'er was already cheering: "Great, Brother Shi'er!"

Shi'er was still a little stunned, but at this time, she saw a maid come over and say something to Ah Luan, Ah Luan stretched out her hand to stop Qing'er, and said, "Miss, Madam called you back." ”

Qing'er couldn't help pursing her lips, but she still got up obediently, and bowed to Lin Mu again, then reluctantly got up and left, and whispered in Shi'er's ear before leaving: "I'll go and play with you when I go back!"

Shi'er felt that her ears were itchy, but she didn't hate it, and nodded with a blushing face.

Lin Mu didn't say anything when he saw it in his eyes, but his brows furrowed even tighter.
