Seeing that it was finally time to get off work, Bai Li, who had played the role of a ticket inspector, did not delay for too long. He said goodbye to Hong Xia and the others, and left with the little socially anxious kid.
Come to think of it, this was the first time he sent Yili home since they started dating.
I didn't take the opportunity to do anything strange. I just held hands, hugged her under the street light, and finally kissed the little socially anxious boy on the cheek.
These interactions were just enough, but they still made the girl look satisfied, like a furry pink hamster.
Lovely pinch.
I said goodbye to my reluctant social anxiety, and it was exactly ten o'clock in the evening.
Because it took nearly two hours to get here by tram, in order to save time, Bai Li did not continue to take the tram on the way back to avoid keeping his two younger sisters at home waiting for a long time.
Three minutes later.
"I am back."
After changing his shoes in the entrance hall, he walked into the living room as usual.
——Then, he was hit by a green headbutt.
"Welcome back! Brother!"
Metis raised its big, sparkling eyes, reminiscent of a kitten or puppy welcoming its owner home, and it wouldn't be surprising if it stuck out its tongue and licked his face the next second.
Looking at that delicate face that was exactly the same as Xiao Mu's, Bai Li would always imagine the person making such passionate gestures as Xiao Mu, and he couldn't help feeling a strange sense of contrast in his heart.
Although I don't hate it, thinking of this, he rubbed Xiao Mo's head casually, making the girl look as satisfied as a cat.
"...Brother, welcome home." Wakaba Mu, who had changed into a nightgown, followed closely behind. Compared to Metis, her personality was more introverted. Although she was also very happy to see her brother, she only smiled faintly.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Bai Li did not ignore the well-behaved Xiao Mu. He took two steps forward and helped her smooth out her messy hair. "Sorry, I came back a little late today."
"That's fine with me."
Ruoye Mu shook his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Brother, are you going on a date?"
Bai Li nodded slightly and did not deny it.
"What does dating mean?" Metis interrupted with some curiosity. She was born too recently and was indeed lacking in common sense.
Bai Li didn't think much about it. With the mentality of an old father educating his daughter, he explained to her, "When close people agree to meet and do things that can promote their relationship, it's called a date."
"That……"
Metis opened her big, twinkling eyes with an innocent look.
"Can I date my brother too? I want to be close to him!"
Chapter 223 Metis's Thousand-Layered Routine
Date me?
Baili smiled slightly.
He didn't mean to take it seriously, thinking it was just a child's joke - considering Metis was not even a month old, she was indeed an ignorant child.
"Dating is something that can only be done by people of the opposite sex who like each other. Do you understand, Xiao Mo?"
Metis simply shook her head and looked at him with confusion.
"But, I'm a girl, my brother is a boy, and I like him very much... Could it be that my brother doesn't like me?"
"People of the opposite sex who like each other", since the condition of "opposite sex" has been met, the only problem that arises is "liking each other".
A girl's face is like a rainy day in June, changing at any time.
Although Metis was just a newborn baby, he had learned this talent by himself. His little mouth pouted and tears came out, as if saying, "If you say you don't like it, I'll cry for you to see."
"...Of course I like Xiao Mo and Xiao Mu very much, but this kind of liking is different from the liking between opposite sexes."
Bai Li coughed. How to educate his adolescent daughter about the knowledge between the sexes should be the most troublesome problem for every old father.
Usually this kind of work is done by the mother, but now there is obviously no woman in the family who is suitable to be a "mother". He can't ask Mori Minami to do it, right?
Even if he really had such a plan, he would not be able to make it in time. The famous actress often flew around the world and it was not certain whether she was in Neon at this moment.
"What's the difference?"
Metis tilted her head, half-knelt on the sofa, her petite body leaning forward slightly, looking like a good student eager to learn.
"There are many characteristics of love between opposite sexes, such as - seeing the other person makes you feel better, you will try your best to make them happy, you don't want to see them get hurt, and most importantly, you want to be with them forever."
Baili's view on love is relatively simple, which basically conforms to the public's definition of the feeling of "liking".
"So... will my brother's mood get worse when he sees me?"
Metis felt a little lost, like a small eggplant - a cucumber - hit by frost.
"……of course not."
"Does that mean I'll feel better?"
The little girl who was extremely depressed just now suddenly raised her head, and her pair of golden eyes were so bright that they seemed to be glowing.
Bai Li was silent for two seconds, then nodded subtly.
"Yes."
Metis pressed on, "So, when my brother sees me, will he want to make me happy? Will he want me to be hurt?"
The answers to these two questions are also very obvious. He can't just say "no" or "yes".
Moreover, deep down in his heart, he really hoped that Xiao Mo and Xiao Mu could be happy every day, and was willing to protect them from harm from the outside world.
"So... one last question!"
The light in Metis's eyes grew brighter and brighter. She stretched out two slender white index fingers, crossed them and placed them on her chest. She said seriously, "Brother, will you get tired of me in the future and plan to separate from me?"
This is a very skillful question, which contains the girl's little tricks.
She didn't ask, "Brother, do you want to be with me forever?", but asked, "Will you get tired of me?"
Facing those sparkling eyes, the graceful girl is like a proud matcha-colored Scottish Fold cat. She won't let others touch her even when they tempt her with dried fish, but only reveals her soft and white belly to you.
Who can answer "bored"?
This time, Bai Li's silence lasted even longer, so long that it seemed as if he had grown old white hair.
But Metis was not impatient at all. She just looked at him eagerly, expecting an answer.
Do not know why.
Xiao Mu didn't stop it as usual, but just sat quietly aside with her head down, making it impossible to see her expression.
After a long silence, Bai Li shook his head slightly.
"If you and Xiaomu are willing... you can stay here forever."
He doesn't like lying, especially to people close to him.
"So, brother really still likes me... well, and Xiaomu, right?"
The girl in the green dinosaur pajamas finally broke into a big laugh, and the tail behind her swayed with her movements, making people want to grab it.
But her words left Bai Li with no room for rebuttal.
Is this right?
He always felt that he seemed to be confused, but because he was not good at speaking, he didn't know how to explain it for a while.
His biggest weakness is his poor tongue, but it’s not really a weakness.
If it were an outsider, he could just use the attitude of "I'm too lazy to reason with you, you don't deserve to listen", use an iron fist to correct the other party's ideas that are inconsistent with his own, and reach a cognitive consensus. This trick is said to be effective every time.
But when dealing with close people, it is difficult to use classical mechanics.
Fortunately, in the past three lives, the number of people close to him was very small, and in his previous life, he could only count them on one hand.
Only the Master would always take advantage of this weakness and induce him to sign many unequal treaties.
For example, she asked me to wash her feet, and she called it "letting the disciple show filial piety."
...It is obvious that she has long been free from dust and dirt, and her bare feet always maintain food-grade safety even without shoes.
After all, it's just to torment him on purpose, right?
Metis now makes Baili feel a headache for the first time in a long time.
It just so happened that Xiao Mu, who was on the edge of ob just now, raised his head at this moment, gently biting his cherry pink lips, with hope in his eyes.
"Brother...is this true?"
"Of course it's true, but... never mind."
He sighed and finally gave up his defense.
After all, the little girl was just looking for an excuse to act coquettishly with her brother. Why did we have to make such a clear distinction?
"Great!"
Metis cheered, hugged his arms tightly, and her big eyes twinkled like stars. "Date! Date! Date!"
Ruoye Mu hesitated for a moment, then hugged his other arm and whispered, "I want to go out and play with my brother."
As soon as the thought of giving up arises, the world becomes wide in an instant.
Moreover, since he started dating three girlfriends at the same time, his energy on his sisters has indeed been dispersed a lot, so it is only right that he spends time with them.
Bai Li nodded, "Okay, is there anywhere you want to go?"
"amusement park!"
"Aquarium!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, but their contents were completely different.
Metis was stunned for a moment, but soon her eyes widened: "Xiao Mu, what are you talking about!"
This is a rare opportunity. Shouldn't I ride the Ferris wheel at the amusement park with my brother?!
They can have a full ten minutes of alone time at the top. For a girl, ten minutes is enough to move a giant tortoise to tears!
In comparison, what is the fun of the oceanarium?
