Qian Renxue was tickled and embarrassed by him, so he raised little Wooden Sword and poked him again.
Qian Xunji covered his chest again and fell on the bed.
"Ah--I was hit by another sword--"
Qian Renxue laughed even louder.
Bibi Dong turned over and opened his eyes drowsily.
I saw a big one and a small one making a fuss on the bed.
The older one held his chest and pretended to be dead, while the younger one held up Wooden Sword and giggled.
"You two, father and daughter... are up so late at night, what are you doing?"
Qian Xunji sat up from the bed with an innocent look on his face, "My daughter wants to play with me, what can I do?"
Bibi Dong looked at her daughter.
Qian Renxue is holding little Wooden Sword and looking at her.
"Okay, you guys keep playing, I'm going to sleep."
"Okay."
Qian Xunji picked up Qian Renxue and said, "Let's go play on the sofa. Don't disturb mom while she sleeps. There are many toys."
The next morning...
Bibi Dong opened his eyes and subconsciously touched his side - it was empty and cold.
Her heart tightened slightly, she pushed herself up and searched the room with her eyes.
Then, she froze.
On the other side of the room, on the large soft couch, two figures, one large and one small, were sleeping next to each other.
Qian Xunji was lying on his back, and Qian Renxue's little body lay on his chest, curled up into a ball, covered with a thin fleece blanket, and a few toys scattered on the floor.
Bibi Dong looked at this scene and raised the corners of his lips.
After she fell asleep last night, the father and daughter moved from the bed to the soft couch at some point, and played messily all over the floor.
She quietly got out of bed and walked to the soft couch.
Qian Xunji was sleeping deeply, his eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, without the majesty of the past at all.
After breakfast, the family of three went out.
A night of snow dyed the entire Spirit City a plain white.
There was a thick layer of ice on the roof, and strings of ice were hanging from the corners of the eaves.
On both sides of the street, the bare branches were covered with silver, and occasionally snow fell from the branches.
Fine snow is still floating in the sky, flying like catkins and goose feathers.
There were not many pedestrians, and occasionally a few people wrapped in thick cotton robes hurried past, leaving a series of footprints of different depths.
Children's laughter could be heard in the distance, it was the little dolls building a snowman on the street corner.
Qian Xunji held Qian Renxue, and a ray of golden Light Soul Power escaped from his palm and turned into a barrier, completely covering the daughter in his arms.
The cold wind was isolated from the outside, and the snowflakes fell on the barrier, melted instantly, and disappeared without a trace.
Qian Renxue nestled in his father's warm embrace, looking at the city curiously with his eyes open.
Everything feels familiar.
It's all how she remembers it.
But everything is very strange.
Because in my memory, these places have long since changed.
Most of those familiar faces are no longer here.
Bibi Dong was walking aside, turning his head to look at his daughter from time to time. When he saw her Big Eye looking around with her eyes open, she couldn't help but smile.
"Look at her, your eyes are almost full."
Qian Xunji lowered his head to look at his daughter in his arms, raising the corners of his lips, "It's new. She's only a few days old. It's the first time she's seen this colorful world."
Qian Renxue heard this and silently cursed in his heart: I am not new, I am just feeling emotional.
But she couldn't say anything, she could only continue to look around with her big eyes open.
Bibi Dong reached out and brushed the strands of hair from her daughter's forehead.
"Xiao Xue, doesn't it look good? This is Spirit City, it's our home."
"When you grow up, your mother will take you around every corner."
Qian Renxue looked at her gentle eyes and said softly "Hmm".
"She understood, and she said yes!"
Qian Xunji glanced at her helplessly, "How old is she, how can she possibly understand..."
"That's for sure, my daughter is so smart."
"That's my daughter too, okay."
"I know, but I've inherited my IQ."
Bibi Dong inserted his waist, "Are you saying I'm stupid?"
"I used to be very stupid and made wrong choices."
Bibi Dong is puzzled, "What choice?"
"Secret."
"You're so off-putting again, you're so annoying."
Qian Renxue Listening to his father's words, he thought to himself, "What does father mean by this? Are you kidding me?"
Just as the two were bickering, Bibi Dong saw an old man standing not far away carrying a straw target filled with candied haws.
"Looking for illness, it's sugar-coated haws."
"Want to eat?"
Bibi Dong nodded, then hesitated, "But I just finished eating..."
"Eat whatever you want." Qian Xunji said, holding Qian Renxue in his arms and walking towards the old man, "Boss, here are two skewers."
"Okay!"
The old man took off two bunches of candied haws with a smile and handed them over.
Qian Xunji took it and handed one of the bunches to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong took it and took a bite. The acidity of the hawthorn mixed with the sweetness of the sugar coating melted in the mouth.
"It's delicious. The last time I had it was at Coconut Grove City."
"Yes, I really miss it."
After finishing speaking, Qian Xunji lowered his head and looked at his daughter in his arms.
Qian Renxue is looking at the bunch of red candied haws.
Qian Xunji He brought the candied haws to his daughter's mouth.
"Here, take a lick and taste it."
Qian Renxue stuck out his little tongue and licked it.
The sweet and sour taste is richer and more distinct than any time I have eaten candied haws in my memory.
Babies' sense of taste is really too sensitive.
She took two more licks, still wanting more.
Qian Xunji looked at her greedy little look and laughed out loud.
"Like it? Dad will buy you a lot when you grow up."
Qian Renxue looked at him, and then she licked him twice more.
"She seems to like it."
"Well, it's up to you, you're also a glutton."
Bibi Dong glared at him and pretended to hit him, "What are you talking about?"
