The cute little boy at the door froze eerily. It took him a long while before he remembered to retract the leg that was still hanging in mid - air.
Only then did he realize what was going on. He quickly covered his eyes with his hands and peeked through his fingers. After making sure that his stupid master, who was nestled in the arms of the big dragon, was looking rosy - cheeked and in perfect condition at the moment, he turned around and tried to run away.
"Sorry, I went to the wrong place. I'll leave right away. Sorry, sorry!" This time he was quite polite, and the "aggressive" look from before was gone.
Come on, if he didn't leave now, when would he? Wait for Su Yuan, that cold - hearted guy, to "accidentally" do something again?!
However, he hadn't even run two steps with his short legs when he was grabbed by the back of his overalls and lifted up.
The moment Zhao Zhao saw this kid, her brain started spinning at full speed. This suddenly - appeared kid, along with the familiar address and lines... Could it be...
Having a hunch in her mind, Zhao Zhao quickly wriggled out of Su Yuan's arms. She grabbed the kid and looked him up and down. Her grip was no joke.
"Are you Taotie?" Zhao Zhao asked, "You've transformed? But why are you so small? This doesn't make sense. According to the records, you should be thousands of years old. What's going on? You don't look like your brother at all..."
Chatty Zhao Zhao just kept babbling like a machine gun.
However, Taotie at this moment didn't want to answer her questions at all. He just felt that it was so embarrassing to be grabbed by a little kid like this, even if that kid was his nominal master.
"What are you doing?! What are you doing? Put this young master down right now!" Poor Taotie, being the shortest at this moment, kicked the air frantically with his short legs and shouted desperately for Zhao Zhao to let him go.
Not denying was equivalent to an indirect admission. Zhao Zhao stared at this little thing in surprise, her eyes wide open.
"It really is you?!" She put Taotie on the ground and held his little shoulders to take a closer look.
Have to say, the old Dragon King's genes were really good. Even though Taotie was known as a fierce beast, his human - form was just too cute!
He was so tiny, with round eyes, fair and tender skin, and a little baby - fat on his face. Paired with the overalls that someone had dressed him in, he was just incredibly cute.
Zhao Zhao felt like her heart had been hit hard. She adored this spiritual pet so much that she immediately hugged him tightly.
"Taotie, you're so cute!"
Maybe it was the innate ability of women. Zhao Zhao's maternal love exploded. She pinched Taotie's chubby little face and stroked his head from time to time. Her eyes sparkled like stars.
She was happy, but Taotie, nestled in her arms and meeting Su Yuan's gaze, was scared to death. He felt as if he was in the middle of a freezing winter, so cold that he wanted to die on the spot.
Why was this stupid master so oblivious! Why didn't she go and comfort her sexually frustrated husband? What was she doing squatting in front of him?
No, this couldn't go on. If it did, his life would be in danger!
Taotie adjusted his expression and put on a serious little face. He whispered in Zhao Zhao's ear, "Stupid master, don't you want to go and check on Lord Yinglong? He doesn't look well."
Zhao Zhao was stunned for a moment and subconsciously let go of Taotie. She looked at Su Yuan. She thought that when Taotie said Su Yuan didn't look well, it meant he was injured or something.
She then thought of the topic she and Su Yuan had been discussing before Taotie showed up. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She quickly walked over and squatted in front of Su Yuan, asking, "What's wrong with you? Are you really injured? Where does it hurt?"
Seeing that he had finally successfully diverted the stupid master's attention, Taotie didn't say a word. He shot out like a cannonball and disappeared in a flash, leaving this place of right and wrong.
When he reached the door, he patted his chest to calm himself down. Then he slowly took out the Little Genius phone watch that Chu Ming had bought for him and dialed his brother's number clumsily. "Hey, bro, what's your boss's temper like? He doesn't just kill demons randomly, does he?"
"?" Chu Ming's head was full of question marks. He had a bad feeling. "What did you do?"
Taotie: "It's nothing much. It's just that I might... slightly, accidentally, inadvertently... have disturbed Lord Longzun's pleasure?"
However, Chu Ming, whose EQ had always been negative, could never understand the hidden meaning in his little brother's words. He thought that the boss couldn't have any special pleasure. He carelessly comforted Taotie and then turned into a little fanboy of Su Yuan. He listed a whole bunch of Su Yuan's good qualities for his little brother. Taotie just hung up the phone.
Taotie held his Little Genius phone watch. He was such a tiny thing and quietly walked to the wall and squatted down.
He might as well just stay in his own little world.
While Taotie was busy being in his own world, on the other side in the villa, Su Yuan was covering his chest and shamelessly lying to the little girl.
He had been completely ignored by Zhao Zhao just now, and he was so jealous that his teeth ached. But now seeing her so worried, he felt better.
"It's nothing. It's just that my chest suddenly hurt for a moment." Su Yuan was an excellent actor. Even the micro - expression of frowning and enduring pain was vividly portrayed.
Sure enough, Zhao Zhao was deceived. She reached out and touched his chest, asking anxiously, "Then what should we do? Should I use my inner energy to help you recover? Or... Or do you need to take some medicine? I'll go and find it for you!"
Saying that, she was about to run out to find her little cloth bag. Su Yuan couldn't let her go. He tightened his grip and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly.
"No, it's not that serious. Just let me hug you and lean on you for a while, and I'll be fine." As he said, he rested his head on Zhao Zhao's shoulder and slowly closed his eyes.
Zhao Zhao asked worriedly, "It'll be okay just by leaning for a while?"
Su Yuan said very definitely, "Yes, just lean for a while and I'll be okay."
He said it so confidently and hugged her so naturally, as if in an instant he had thrown all his previous self - restraint into the clouds.
Sure enough, whether it was a dragon or a human, once that threshold was crossed, no amount of actions seemed out of place.
While hugging Zhao Zhao, Su Yuan was still making excuses for himself in his mind. He had only said that he would wait for Zhao Zhao to grow up and let her make a choice, but he never said that he would just wait idly.
Lord Longzun had convinced himself. Now he hugged Zhao Zhao with even less psychological pressure.
They just hugged quietly for a long time. Zhao Zhao, nestled in Su Yuan's arms, was almost asleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and turned to ask Su Yuan, "How much longer are we going to hug? Are you better?"
Su Yuan finally let go of her. "Then stop hugging. Should I go and make you something to eat?"
"Um..." Taotie poked his head in from outside the door. "Although I really don't want to interrupt you two, but Zhao Zhao, your cousin is awake and is making a fuss looking for you. Do you want to go back and check?"
Taotie finished this long paragraph at double - speed and then quickly disappeared at the door.
This time he should be right, right? He had waited until they let go before speaking.
