Hong Xiaochen turned his head away in confusion.

"Yingying, what's wrong with you? You look unhappy..."

"..."

Lan Yuying's anger value increased by one, one, one, one, one...

"Hong Xiaochen! Have you slept enough? Have you slept enough?"

Lan Yuying looked at her husband with a smirk and couldn't help but said, "We agreed to brainstorm together and come up with a solution, but you just sat down and tilted your head and started to slack off!

I finally understand. My little Li was such a lively and active girl since she was young, but she became like this after being raised for so long. It was all because of you, a lazy father, that she led her astray!"

"Hey, Yingying, you said I was lazy, I admit it. But you said I led our daughter astray, tsk tsk, don't try to put the blame on me."

Hong Xiaochen crossed his legs and couldn't help but complain, "If you say that my daughter inherited my intelligence, optimism, and fearlessness of danger, that's pretty much it, but laziness is not something she inherited from her father.

But if I’m being lazy… Anyway, I, her father, have almost let go of Xiaoli since she was four years old. Since then, she has taken a development path that her father cannot understand.”

"Oh my, I think Xiaoli is doing pretty well now."

Qing Yiyi lowered her head and smiled: "She is so well-behaved and cute, and makes people feel kind just by looking at her."

"Wow, Yiyi, you still have the nerve to say that!"

Lan Yuying pretended to be angry and complained: "It's not your Xiaoyang who was led astray, so of course you think it's okay!"

“I don’t agree with that.”

Qing Yiyi chuckled and said, "Xiaoyang and Xiaoli are both my own children to me. They'll be cute no matter what they look like!"

"Ha, Yiyi, you sound so righteous, making me look like a vicious stepmother..."

Lan Yuying looked at the smiling Qing Yiyi, revealing half-moon eyes: "I remember which year it was, we were having dinner at home with Xiaoli, and Xiaoyang suddenly ran in with a panicked look on his face...

Yiyi, guess who is chasing Xiaoyang with a broom? "

"Ah this..."

Qing Yiyi's body froze, then she regained her composure in an instant, laughing awkwardly, "What? There's actually such a thing!

My Xiaoyang was actually bullied by others? Yuying, why didn’t you tell me earlier! "

Lan Yuying: "..."

Qing Yiyi: “…”

"Ahem, that..."

Qing Yiyi whispered, "The broom only looks scary. The fear on his face is 30% real and 70% acting. He's just pretending for his mother to see.

Like the time when I asked Xiaoyang not to forget the boiled water I had prepared before I left, but when I came back I found that the kettle was almost burnt through. That time when I chased him with a kitchen knife, the expression on his face was truly terrifying!"

"You still have the nerve to say..."

Lan Yuying rolled her eyes.

"The most cruel thing I did was to confiscate Xiaoli's books, but I couldn't bear to beat her..."

"As if I really hurt that kid. Isn't it because I'm tired of him lying at home all day and want him to go out?"

Qing Yiyi said faintly: "Boys should be lively and naughty, right? It's better to be annoying than to be pitied...

You know, Xiaoyang was always depressed in the first few years after he was born, which worried me to death. I don’t want him to go back to that state…”

"Oh, that's right. At that time, the child... huh?"

Lan Yuying raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Hong Xiaochen who was snoring with his mouth open. A black line crossed her forehead: "Hong! Xiao! Chen!"

"Oh, I think I heard someone mention Xiaoyang and Xiaoli?"

Heiyang pushed the door open and jumped into the room happily.

"Do you think of us that much? That much?"

"Ahaha, I seem to hear my mother's roar and my father's scream?"

Hongli followed closely with a grin and stuck her head out.

"How did Dad piss off Mom again? What happened?"

"I got up pretty early today."

Qing Yiyi looked up at her son and praised him, "Keep it up."

"hey-hey……"

Heiyang smiled sheepishly: "Actually, I didn't sleep all night..."

"Oh, that's okay."

Qing Yiyi's expression disappeared and she lowered her head again: "Have you eaten? If not, go to the kitchen and eat yourself."

"Eat, eat, we're eating outside, hehe!"

"You know how to enjoy..."

"Hey, where's my dad?"

"I haven't come back from the City Lord's Mansion yet."

"oh oh!"

"Good morning, Mom and Dad!"

Hongli waved to her parents, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and sighed: "Familiar, the taste of home!"

"Your mom just sprayed some insect repellent..."

Hong Xiaochen said faintly: "The smell hasn't dissipated yet."

"I was wondering why the taste of this restaurant is a bit too strong..."

Hongli shook her head and looked around with dead eyes: "Also, is there anything missing, such as a little red head..."

"Xiao Huo followed Mu Guang to the City Lord's Mansion."

Hong Xiaochen yawned: "I guess not yet..."

"Grandpa, hurry up! Little Fire smells Mommy and Daddy!"

The voice from outside interrupted Hong Xiaochen's words.

"Is it true that they can get up at this time?"

Hei Muguang's tone was a little surprised.

"It can't be wrong!"

Xiao Huo let go of Grandpa's hand and ran towards the house. As he ran, he turned his head and urged with a smile: "Grandpa, hurry up! Xiao Huo wants to be the first... Oops!"

Xiaohuo's body shook violently and he felt like he had hit something, but there was clearly nothing there in his perception!

"Run slower. If you hurt an ordinary person, Heiyang Hongli will be in trouble..."

Lazy straightened the little fire that had crashed into his arms, lowered his head and whispered: "We meet again, the happy little fire crane cub."

"Ah?"

Xiao Huo looked up at the girl who suddenly appeared with a puzzled look on his face, and asked uncertainly: "You are... Has Xiao Huo seen you before?

Um...big sister? Aunt? Auntie? Or some other elder?"

"It's me..."

Sloth smiled in a friendly manner, then with a flick of his body, he transformed back into the appearance of a little sloth.

"Remember, we met before?"

"Ah! It's you! The one who made everyone in the city sleep late..."

Xiaohuo was surprised and happy. He stretched out his hand, held the sloth's hand and ran a few steps. Then he jumped and flew with the sloth to an apricot tree in the yard. He turned into a little flamingo and stood on the branch side by side with the little sloth.

"I heard from my parents that they would find a suitable way to send you away. Haven't you left yet?"

"Well, change of plans."

Just listening to Lazy's voice made one feel sleepy. Her voice didn't sound like a math teacher's, and she didn't say anything profound or difficult to understand, but she could play the same role.

"Heiyang Hongli took me in. They said I could live here."

"Wow! Really?!"

Xiao Huo's eyes lit up: "Are you going to live with us in Five Colors City?

Then why don’t you live in the same room with Xiaohuo? That way, Xiaohuo can chat with you when he can’t sleep!

Well, Xiaohuo can give you half of the bed, a very soft and warm big bed!"

"Uh, that's not necessary..."

Laziness smiled and rejected Xiaohuo's kindness. She leaned over to look into the house and asked curiously, "Can't we sleep anywhere, whether it's the desert, the mountains, the forests, or the sea of ​​clouds?

Why do humans want to lock themselves in a big box? "

"Because it can protect us from wind and rain!"

"Is this so..."

Lazy nodded and turned to look at Xiaohuo.

“What about you? You are not afraid of wind, rain or cold, so why do you want to sleep in the house?

Isn't it more comfortable to sleep in a tree? The air is fresh, the weather is nice, and you can embrace nature..."

"Hmm, I don't quite understand..."

Xiaohuo showed an expression of confusion.

"Xiaohuo has lived in the house since he was born. His family is there!"

"That's it..."

The sloth nodded. "I don't know where my family is, and I have no feelings for them..."

"Oh, you don't have to be related by blood to be family!"

Xiao Huo waved his wings, pointed at himself, then pointed in the direction of the house, and said happily: "Xiao Huo, Mom, and Dad, there is no blood relationship between any two of us three, but we are the closest family!"

"Ah, right!"

Xiao Huo peeked around, covered the little sloth with his wings, and whispered, "But you can't live with your parents. Xiao Huo tells you, your parents are now, um...

How did you say that word? Xiao Huo remembered that grandma said, "Oh, yes, they are in the period of passionate love, and we can't disturb them!"

“What is the honeymoon period?”

The sloth asked curiously, "It's not in our racial heritage..."

"Alas, the inheritance of a race is just for fun! Our ancestors only tell you, ah, reproduce, reproduce--"

Xiaohuo rolled his eyes and acted in a weird tone.

"But there is no mention of emotions in the inheritance! Friendship! Family! Love!

They won't include any emotions in their inheritance, maybe they think it's useless? Or do they want their descendants to experience it for themselves? Xiaohuo doesn't understand. "

After a pause, Xiaohuo made a funny face.

“But Xiao Huo knows that when boys and girls are in the passionate love phase, their feelings are, hehehe…”

"Hey hey hey?"

The sloth looked confused. "What does that mean?"

"Ahem, no, it's meaningless!"

Xiao Huo laughed and said, "They are in the period of passionate love, so it's best not to disturb them casually, hahaha."

"That's it..."

The sloth nodded thoughtfully and took note of what Little Fire had taught him. Although the other party was young, he obviously understood the way of life in the human world better than he did.

"How long will their honeymoon period last?"

"This little fire doesn't know..."

Xiaohuo smiled like a cat stealing fish.
