Favorite Little Animal

Liu Chang'an returned the guitar to the singer.

"Dude, you're ruining my show! I don't even dare to sing anymore," the singer said excitedly. Anyone who dares to come out and perform live must have some hearing, right? Even without very professional equipment, this performance was top-notch.

"Has anyone sent any gifts?" Liu Chang'an's focus wasn't on the singing.

The singer glanced at it and exclaimed excitedly, "Thanks to my friends 'This Monk Is Still Young' and 'Rampaging Mouse' for the rocket!"

Liu Chang'an was quite satisfied. Although he didn't like watching live streams, he was doing his own, so it was only natural that people would support him. After all, his skill level was such that it was a rare treat.

"Come on, stop fooling around." An Nuan pulled Liu Chang'an away.

"Again!" the singer shouted.

Liu Chang'an and An Nuan left, and Liu Chang'an turned to look at An Nuan.

"Do you know why I played along with you so well just now?" An Nuan didn't want to admit it anymore. "I had my own reasons, so I pretended to admire you."

Liu Chang'an smiled.

"You know, that singer's live stream had a lot of viewers, which means he's very popular. And in a popular live stream, it's very easy for someone to recognize you and spread the gossip," An Nuan said smugly.

"Weren't you two chatting happily just now, without saying anything?" Liu Chang'an clicked his tongue in amazement, "Women."

"Hmph, you know too!" An Nuan wasn't surprised that Liu Chang'an guessed who she was targeting. "You've gained some fame online, and after recognizing you, Bai Hui pretended not to respond to your ambiguous relationship with him for a while, but this intelligent and beautiful girl utterly crushed, utterly destroyed, and utterly overwhelmed you!"

"Impressive, impressive." Liu Chang'an didn't dwell on these things; girls' minds are indeed naturally more complex.

"This is the way of the king, upholding righteousness, a natural justice. That's why, since ancient times, girls have fought tooth and nail for a title," An Nuan continued with a sigh. "Bai Hui's underhanded methods are useless."

"I thought you guys had let this go." Although the two of them had a brief exchange just now, they hadn't mentioned the original incident at all. I didn't expect that Bai Hui would be targeted as soon as she turned around.

"What happens between girls is a matter for the next fifty years."

"Then I'll go buy some rice noodles."

"I haven't had enough of my smugness yet, why are you changing the subject! Why are you buying rice noodles?"

"Keep being smug. I want rice noodles tonight."

"Then I'll have rice noodles too."

An Nuan followed Liu Chang'an back to his residential area and took the initiative to let go of Liu Chang'an's arm. She remembered that many people liked to look at her, and now her feelings were different, but she was still a little shy in front of the elderly.

Liu Chang'an bought a rooster, a hen, and extra-spicy chili peppers at the market.

"Girlfriend?"

"Xiao Liu's girlfriend is so pretty."

"The little girl is pretty."

The whispers made An Nuan blush with embarrassment, but also with excitement. It was the first time she had been watched like this as a girlfriend, and she felt like she had grown up.

"How did they know I was your girlfriend?" An Nuan asked Liu Chang'an in a low voice, feeling embarrassed.

"You look like a timid, submissive wife, can't you tell?"

"Ugh, I didn't!" An Nuan stomped her feet and saw Zhou Dongdong sitting under the sycamore tree in the distance. To get rid of her slightly embarrassed feeling, she ran over to tease Zhou Dongdong.

Today, Zhou Dongdong wore two ponytails with small airplane hair clips on top. This kind of hair accessory is quite rare, since few girls would like small airplanes; they would usually choose cute styles like Butterfly, flowers, or kittens.

Of course, the little airplanes are cute too.

"Zhou Dongdong, what book are you reading?" An Nuan greeted Zhou Dongdong as she walked.

"I'm eating," Zhou Dongdong said, reaching out to grab something from the pages of the book before putting it in her mouth.

An Nuan looked over in confusion and saw that Zhou Dongdong was looking at a illustrated cookbook.

"Is it delicious?" An Nuan couldn't help but smile.

"It's delicious, I'll give you some too." Zhou Dongdong's hand tugged at the book again, then opened it in front of An Nuan's mouth. "I'm giving you crayfish now, is it good?"

"Delicious." An Nuan nodded, smacked her lips, and looked like she was enjoying it.

"It's my turn to eat." Zhou Dongdong continued eating.

An Nuan smiled. Children are particularly good at getting lost in their own fantasies, just like playing house, acting out all sorts of things.

Liu Chang'an picked up the recipe book and flipped through it casually. "Zhou Dongdong, your mom told you to learn by looking at the pictures, right?"

Several books that are typical kindergarten children read are placed in front of Zhou Dongdong.

"I can learn by looking at pictures of food."

"Sister will teach you to read pictures and recognize words. This is an animal book." An Nuan opened the picture book. "Zhou Dongdong, what's your favorite animal?"

When she was with the little girl, An Nuan unconsciously used cute interjections.

My favorite animal is... a dog!

Why? Because dogs are man's best friend?

"Because dogs are cute and delicious!"

Although An Nuan also eats dog meat, Zhou Dongdong's answer...

"The chicks are cute and delicious!"

"The little pig is both cute and delicious!"

"Red pandas are so cute... Sister, have you ever eaten panda food?"

"You recognize all these little animals, so I won't teach you anymore. You can continue looking at the recipe." An Nuan had never seen such an overbearing child before, so she took the recipe back and handed it to Zhou Dongdong.

"What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you." Zhou Dongdong casually flipped to a page.

"I'll make Chang'an noodles for you tonight, so don't eat the book anymore. You'll be full soon."

Zhou Dongdong quickly put down the recipe and ran over to see Liu Chang'an preparing to kill the chicken.

"Can I start the fire?" Zhou Dongdong thought of the last time she ate goose with her brother Chang'an.

"No need to light the fire today, go and fill a bucket with water for me."

Zhou Dongdong ran off to work, and An Nuan quickly followed suit, saying, "I can help you kill the chicken."

"For you."

An Nuan blankly accepted the rooster that Liu Chang'an handed to her. He actually just gave it to her like that and then left!

Good heavens, even Zhou Dongdong goes easy on her. If I can't even kill a chicken, wouldn't I be a complete failure? An Nuan held the struggling rooster, looking utterly pathetic.

Liu Chang'an entered the room and put the bucket on the fire to heat it up. Zhou Dongdong could only twist the bucket and put it under the tap to let the water run.

After finishing this, Liu Chang'an pulled Zhou Dongdong out and handed her to An Nuan, took back the rooster, and waved his hand, "Take Zhou Dongdong to play for an hour."

An Nuan pouted, looking aggrieved, as if she was in the way. She had no choice but to take Zhou Dongdong's hand and leave first.
