Chapter 596 The Little One Raised by the Ghost King 5
Shouyi sat on the stone steps, holding a half-eaten piece of osmanthus cake in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the staggering little figure in the yard.
Miaomiao was holding onto a low stool in the corner of the yard, sticking out her little butt, trying to reach a fallen leaf on the ground.
She tried to grab the fallen leaves with her little hands, but instead of catching any, she sat down on the ground. But she didn't cry, she just blinked blankly and crawled happily to another place.
It can be said that he is a baby with a very good temper.
"Strange..." Shouyi stroked his beard and frowned slightly, "Logically, a ten-month-old child should be able to call for help by now."
He Xuan leaned against the pillar, and without even raising his eyelids, he said coldly, "If it doesn't happen, then it doesn't happen. What's there to worry about?"
Shouyi glanced at him and deliberately raised his voice: "Miaomiao, come here, call me grandpa!"
When he heard his name, the little guy immediately raised his head and looked at Shouyi with his big round eyes.
She tilted her head, as if thinking about something important, and then—
"Snapped!"
The little hand mercilessly slapped Shouyi's old face as he came closer, and she pushed him away, twisting her body and crawling to the side to play.
Who? Irrelevant.
Shouyi: "..."
He shrugged helplessly and consoled himself: "Okay, it seems that I am not likable enough as an old man."
He Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then quickly flattened them, pretending not to see it.
In the afternoon, Shouyi woke up from a nap and when he passed by He Xuan's room, he felt as if there was some noise in the room.
Shouyi felt a little strange, so he leaned over to take a look, and saw a scene that almost made him laugh out loud.
He Xuan sat beside the couch with a stern face, holding the drowsy Miaomiao in one hand, and said in a low and serious voice: "Call me daddy."
Miaomiao was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping and her little head was nodding. She couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
She fell forward in a daze, and fell softly into He Xuan's arms. She rubbed her little face against his chest and was about to fall asleep.
He Xuan frowned and lifted her up again: "Stop acting like a spoiled child, call me daddy."
Miaomiao was annoyed by the torment, her little mouth pouted, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes, looking aggrieved.
Shouyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This ghost is really weird. He says he doesn't care, but he actually cares a lot.
He Xuan turned his head suddenly and saw Shouyi standing at the door, laughing so hard that his beard was shaking. His ears turned slightly red, but his tone was still cold: "...What are you laughing at?"
Shouyi waved his hand and teased, "Didn't Lord Ghost King say he didn't care? Why did you secretly teach the child to call me daddy behind my back?"
He Xuan turned his face away and said stiffly: "...I'm just bored."
"Yes, yes, Lord Ghost King is bored."
Shouyi walked in, looked at Miaomiao, who was dozing off in sleep, and said with a smile, "Children start talking at different times. Why rush? They will speak naturally when the time comes."
He Xuan was silent for a moment, then looked down at Miaomiao who was already asleep in his arms. Her little face was flushed, her breathing was even, and her little hands were still unconsciously grabbing his clothes.
He snorted softly and finally stopped torturing her. Instead, he carefully put her back on the crib and covered her with the quilt.
After several months of training the cub, Lord Ghost King has become able to take care of the little guy skillfully.
Shouyi watched from the side and suddenly said meaningfully: "You have a talent for being a father."
He Xuan glanced at him coldly: "If you say one more word, the roof of the Taoist temple will collapse tonight."
Shouyi laughed heartily, turned around and walked out. Before leaving, he turned back and added, "Don't worry, when she opens her mouth, the first word she'll call will definitely be 'Daddy'."
He Xuan didn't respond, but his eyes fell on Miaomiao's sleeping face, and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes that he himself didn't even notice.
