Chapter 10: Daddy's First Growth
When I went back, it was just before three o'clock in the morning.
I don't know if Chen Ye was unsteady on his feet because of vertigo, and touched the coffee table at his feet, which caused a few noises to be heard in the bedroom not far away.
"Chen Xi?" Chen Ye subconsciously took two steps forward, put his right hand on the bedroom doorknob, and pressed it gently, and at this time, he saw the black and red blood spots that had dried up on his cuffs, shook his head with a smile, let go of his hand, picked up two pieces of clothing from the messy sofa on the side, and turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
Standing under the shower, Chen Ye and the little unicorn bear at the door of the bathroom looked at each other.
"That...... Can you turn around. Looking at the little unicorn bear lying motionless on the ground due to vertigo, Chen Ye's old face turned red for no reason.
The moment he lifted the switch, feeling the temperature of the water sprayed on his body on the shower, Chen Ye had a feeling that he had not felt for a long time.
Although it was only more than two hours for this world that he was familiar with, for himself, it was real, and he had survived a long month alone in that world.
"That kind of dense-toothed fish is always dangling by the river, and taking a bath is a problem, and it seems that next time I have to bring a big pot over, not only to scoop water, but also to put it on the fire to boil water." Chen Ye thought silently, I don't know when Chen Ye began to like the habit of naming all kinds of new things in that world.
To be precise, it can't be regarded as liking, but as the first human in that world, in the long run, it is impossible to point to the fish and call the stupid fish and the flower to the flower in the future.
It only took about ten minutes to take a shower, and while Chen Ye dried his hair with a towel, he silently calculated the time to go back, during which he had nine hours to prepare and find the souls of his comrades. Correspondingly, the world will pass for five months, and Chen Ye is not worried that there will be herbivores that will eat the food he has worked so hard to grow.
For any creature with a modicum of intelligence, it is an instinct that goes deep into the bone marrow.
For food that has never been seen or eaten, unless you are hungry, you will not try it at all. And the matter of excessive hunger, in that place where the land is extremely fertile, Chen Ye is not worried about this kind of thing happening.
When Chen Ye changed his clothes and opened the bathroom door.
A small, cute figure appeared in front of him.
"Huh?" Chen Ye looked at the cute little face that seemed to be able to pinch out water, and exclaimed gently.
"Uncle...... Why haven't you slept......" Chen Xi blinked his big eyes and looked at Chen Ye curiously.
Uncle......
Well, Chen Ye temporarily accepted this title, although legally speaking, this is already his adopted daughter, but he also knows that this little girl, who is five years old and has the ability to think independently, can't call out a more affectionate title for a while.
"Why didn't you sleep?" Chen Ye looked at the little girl's clear eyes, not as if she had just woken up, squatted down, and asked softly.
"I can't sleep...... As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw my uncle and aunt, and there were many, many fires, and ...... I also saw a lot of uncles like you falling into the fire......" Chen Xi said, his voice getting lower and lower.
Chen Ye was slightly stunned, looking at the little girl in front of him who was only thigh-high, his innocent eyes drooped a little at this time.
Although I don't know what Xiaolan said to her, she obviously doesn't understand very much, why her uncle and aunt, who have only known her for more than a month, suddenly can't see her, and the young uncle who was still holding her yesterday, she can't see it, and all she is left with is a sea of fire in her memory.
"Uncle...... You say awkward, isn't it a broom star...... I heard the teacher in the orphanage say that we are all broom stars, and broom stars will bring bad luck to the people around us, and everyone around us will be unlucky, and leave them one by one......" Chen Xi lowered his head, and his little hand pulling the corner of his clothes turned slightly red.
"......" Chen Ye pursed his lips, he didn't know how to explain this to this little girl for a while, he also grew up in an orphanage, he knew that in the orphanage, not all teachers lead by example, on the contrary, there will be some irresponsible, even scumbag who sprinkles their stinky temper on children.
Obviously, a certain teacher said something similar to Xixi.
Chen Ye squatted down, wanting to get closer, but he had to kneel on the ground with one leg, meet the eye level of the girl in front of him, stretch out his arms, and take Xixi into his arms.
"When my uncle was a child, he also grew up in an orphanage." Chen Ye said softly.
"If Xi Xi is a broom star, then so is my uncle." Chen Ye gently rubbed his hair with his right hand, "Do you know, there are countless stars in the sky, and every star shines brightly, and together they constitute this beautiful sky." ”
"Legend has it that if people make a wish on the stars, even the biggest dreams will come true." Chen Ye's tone was low and firm, as if with magic power, so that the shyness in his arms raised his head to look at the "big man" in front of him, at this time in her eyes, Chen Ye was a little different from other adults, compared to other adults who were full of education, Chen Ye who squatted down was as tall as herself, and her gentle tone was like an acquaintance, which made her listen carefully.
"And the broom star, it's no different from other stars, it's just just the right thing to be named."
"Maybe the person who named this star is called a broom?" Chen Ye leaned back and looked at his little daughter seriously.
"Huh? It's so ugly to call a broom! Said disgustedly.
"So, ah, the teacher is actually saying that the students are as beautiful, bright, and shining as the stars in the sky." Chen Ye looked at Xi Xi, who was listening carefully, and showed a smile, he knew that the child's previous cognition made her not easily believe the remarks she opposed later, and she might even rebel. Rather than this, it is better to simply follow her and interpret the three words "broom star" into a beautiful symbol in such a way.
"Is that uncle going to make a wish to Xixi? It's a star! Your wish will definitely come true! Chen Xi's eyes widened, his eyelashes fluttered, and he said excitedly to Chen Ye.
"Haha, that uncle is going to make a good wish!" Chen Ye also learned to be excited and said.
"Hmm...... Just make a wish, let Xi Xi always be happy, healthy, happy! If...... Plus, it's even better to be a part of my family! Uncle has always wanted such a lovely daughter. ”
"Balabala! Well...... The stars hear your wishes! Your wish will definitely come true! He shook his fists and learned to do magic on TV.
"That'...... Uncle just said, uncle is also a star, and he has to make a wish! ”
"Okay." Chen Ye smiled softly.
"Hmm...... Hmm......" Chen Xi pouted, thinking hard.
"That's right! When Xi Xi and his uncle passed by the store yesterday, they saw a super large and oversized bear, the kind that can sleep in their arms, and Xi Xi also wants one! Chen Xi said excitedly.
Hearing this, Chen Ye's eyelids jumped, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard "Knock!" from inside the closed bathroom door! "Boom!" sounds.
"Ahh Chen Xi was obviously startled, but then, his eyes widened again, and he looked at Chen Ye in disbelief. "Uncle! The wish has come true! My wish to my uncle has come true! Has the bear been delivered by courier? ”
Chen Ye looked at the happy Chen Xi and opened his mouth wide, he especially wanted to say now that it was impossible for the courier to deliver to the door late at night, let alone come out of the bathroom.
But...... He couldn't bear it.
Chen Ye gently opened the bathroom door a crack to prevent the "dog" from hurting people, and slowly opened it.
Seeing that the "dog" did not show a danger signal, but was cute and shaking, Chen Ye relieved himself, picked up the little unicorn bear, and hugged it in front of Xixi.
"Yes, my awkward wish was heard...... Chen Ye said helplessly.
"Yikes!" Chen Xi excitedly stretched out his hand and touched the white short horn on the head of the "dog". "What a pretty bear! It will also move! ”
At this scene, Chen Ye was tense up, as if his heart was beating fast and he was about to jump out of his throat.
Seeing the little unicorn bear, he didn't react, but opened his mouth and whined affectionately a few times, Chen Ye's heart, which mentioned his throat, finally fell.
Presumably because I fed the "dog" to eat cooked food this month.
Chen Ye thought so.
After saying a few words to Chen Xi that the bear can only be held when he is there, Chen Ye sent the still excited Xi Xi to the bed in the bedroom and covered it with a quilt.
Chen Xi is also unprecedented, pestering Chen Ye to tell a bedtime story.
Chen Ye turned on his mobile phone, searched for a short fairy tale of "Little Bear Crossing the Bridge" on the Internet, and began to tell it: "One day, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the little bear takes advantage of this good time to go out for an outing......"
As he spoke, his tone began to become colorful, full of emotion, which also made Chen Ye sigh in surprise, it turned out that he still had the potential to be a daddy......
The story is not long, and by the end of the last sentence, the sound of regular breathing has been heard in my ears.
Chen Ye reached out and tucked the corner of the quilt, and tiptoed out of the door.
The mobile phone screen suddenly lit up, showing a line of text, Chen Ye knew that this message was sent by Xiao Lan.
"Thank you, Chen Ye."
