Chapter 20: A Motherless Baby
"Then ask it, it's not okay to follow it, it's useless to guess here. Ji Ao reminded beside him.
"Okay, I'll ask it next time," replied with some hesitation, and he picked up his coat as he spoke, "Let's go, it's time." ”
“…… Hey, you want me to accompany you to work, I've been with you for seven days!" Ji Ao shouted.
"But I only have one friend of yours, and if you don't accompany me, who will accompany me. ”
"Please, don't stop me, I'll go find those robbers now, and eat them at once, or I'm going crazy!"
"Let's look for it tomorrow, work first today. ”
“…… Hey, help, I don't want to go...... Jin Hotaru, let's break up......"
Jin Hotaru hid in the shadow of the tree, watched Yan'er fly over excitedly, and hurriedly followed.
Although he knew in his heart that it was very bad to be revered by such ghosts, he also rejected Ji Ao's proposal at that time, but when he asked Yan'er where he was going these days, Yan'er only dropped the word "to play", he finally had to make this decision.
"I'm sorry, I'm late. Yan'er didn't doubt that anyone would follow her, so she hurriedly flew into a deserted park, still nagging.
"I'm sorry?" Jin Ying's eyes widened in disbelief, would Yan'er also say these three words to others?
"What are we going to play today?" he looked closely, and saw a small white nine-tailed fox standing on a swing frame to greet Yan'er.
"That'...... Let's go boating!"
"I want to go bowling again. ”
"Row first!"
"Play first!"
"That'...... We...... Guess the fist decides!"
"Rock, scissors, paper!"
"I won!"
"You're slow, foolish!"
"You're a liar!"
"It's you!"
"Ping Pong!"
"Let's go steal some chickens to eat. ”
Yan'er and the nine-tailed fox scuffled together, leaving a cloud of dust, and when Jin Hotaru nervously tried to go out to fight, their fight had stopped, and they actually sat on the ground together and giggled.
"The roast chicken I ate last time tasted good, how about we go for fried chicken this time?" suggested the nine-tailed fox.
"I'm tired of eating chicken all the time, why don't you catch a monster and eat it!" Yan'er wanted to change her taste.
"Have you seen any delicious youkai lately?" Yan'er is most concerned about eating.
"I still want to eat chicken. The nine-tailed fox blurted out that the fox's favorite chicken is indeed true.
"Well, I'm not hungry anyway. Yan'er made a concession generously, and Yan'er made a plan, "However, after eating, we will go rowing first." ”
"Then go play. ”
"And swing, right?"
"Then go play console ......"
"And then ......"
They ran away as they planned.
Jin Ying looked at them and smiled, it turned out that Yan'er had just made a friend.
Yan'er has always been dependent on the golden firefly, from the mountains and forests to the city, it has always been lonely, and the other monsters are just afraid when they see it, and no one dares to be friends with it. Although Jin Ying herself is withdrawn, at least she has Ji Ao's friend, but Yan'er has none. It always plays alone, has fun alone, and although it usually looks very proud and looks down on other monsters, it actually wants to have a friend, a playmate, right?
This must be the nine-tailed fox that Ji Ao saw, it is really bold enough, and it is not afraid of flames. It's because it's an innocent and innocent child, so I don't know how to be afraid, right? It seems that Yan'er has made a good friend.
Taking advantage of Yan'er's lack of notice, the golden firefly quietly slipped away, leaving Yan'er to play with her friends.
Yan'er and the little fox sat side by side on the stone bench in the park, each holding a fried chicken to eat, although Yan'er said that he was not hungry, but he eliminated his own one, and squinted his eyes to look at the little fox's one. It noticed that the little fox was not eating at all, but was staring blankly ahead.
"You don't want to eat? "Flame, who has the virtue of frugality, immediately snatched away his fried chicken.
The little fox didn't even fight with it, but still stared blankly ahead.
"What are you looking at?" Yan'er asked vaguely as she ate.
In the children's section of the park, a child was playing on a slide, and as he slipped down, a woman next to him stretched out her hand and nervously protected him, and when he slipped underneath, the woman picked him up and put him on top so that he could slide again.
"Mommy, hehe, mommy......" the child smiled happily and waved at her on the slide.
"It's just two humans, what's there to see!" Flame muttered.
"Yan'er, what does your mother look like?" the little fox asked suddenly.
"I don't know, it threw me when I was an egg. Yan'er continued to eat fried chicken.
"I've never seen any other Vermilion Birds, and I've heard that they all live in the Kunlun Realm. Yan'er had no interest in the topic at all.
"But it's your mother, after all, you don't want to know who it is, what does it look like?"
"No, it was the shadow that hatched me, I just know the shadow. ”
This is the habit of their Suzaku birds, which is that when they hatch out of the eggshell, they accept the aura of whichever one they receive as their parents.
"How can mom let someone else replace you! Mommy is, mom is ......" the little fox cried out a little excitedly, and it suddenly couldn't find the right words, "Mom just loves you more than anyone else, takes care of you, teaches you, and is willing to do everything for you, only Mom, why don't you care at all!"
"But it didn't treat me well like that, but abandoned me!" Yan'er didn't understand why it was so excited, she still didn't understand, "And these shadows you said have been done for me, why do I need that ruthless and unrighteous mother?"
"Really? Now we're both the same, kids without a mother's love...... A child without a mother is like a root grass...... "The little fox lowered his head sadly.
"Mom, I don't want that kind of thing, Shadow is so much better than a 'mother', by the way, didn't he just follow me? When did he disappear?" Yan'er thought to herself as she gulped down the fried chicken, "It's weird, and he disappeared without saying anything about me." ”
It didn't notice that the little fox beside it was holding its knees and weeping profusely......
Yan'er threw down the fried chicken bones and looked around.
Yan'er, who rarely came home, was eating the meal that Jin Hotaru had cooked for him, and suddenly asked him, "Hotaru, do you know what Mother is?"
"Mom?" Jin Ying frowned and thought, he was a man who didn't even have a gender, and the role of parents was just a noun for him, "It's the mother, the child, the female ......"
"But that's not what it says...... Yan'er sighed as she recalled the little fox's words, "but forget it, Hotaru, like me, doesn't have a mother, so I definitely don't understand." ”
“…… Yan'er, are you looking for your mother?" Jin Ying asked worriedly, she really couldn't replace her biological parents, and Yan'er finally began to think about it.
"I don't want it!" Yan'er desperately stretched her neck to swallow a large piece of meat, and it quickly explained, "It was the little fox who mentioned his mother yesterday, and then he cried, and I just wanted to know what my mother was." ”
"Who is the little fox?" asked Jin Hotaru deliberately.
"Didn't you follow me yesterday? Didn't you see it? It's my friend. Yan'er proudly announced.
Jin Ying opened her mouth in embarrassment, not knowing what to say, and Ji Ao, who was originally lying on the side and pretending to be asleep, laughed without any scruples.
