Chapter 126: How Did She Know I Was Still in Bed? (1/2)

Nana pulled off the head of the dough figure, put it into her mouth with her eyes closed, and chewed with great difficulty, looking like she was chewing on plastic.

Seeing this, Shen Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly turned his head, unable to bear watching this tragic scene any longer.

On the other side, Xinxin, who hadn’t started eating yet, was resting her chin on her hand, staring blankly at the plate and the “Little Gray.”

“Not eating?” Shen Cheng asked.

Xinxin shook her head, “I… can’t bear to.”

Hearing this, Shen Cheng let out a helpless laugh and reached out to rub Xinxin’s head, saying, “If you don’t eat it, it will be sad.”

“Sad?” Xinxin raised her head blankly, “Why…?”

“What do you think is the purpose of their creation?” Shen Cheng smiled as he countered.

After pondering for a moment, Xinxin nodded, “I… understand now.”

“Pu…rpose…” At the same time, as if hearing Shen Cheng’s words, Little Qi, who was sitting on Shen Cheng’s lap, muttered softly.

“Hmm? Little Qi? Did you speak?” Shen Cheng was slightly surprised, but Little Qi didn’t have any other reaction.

Little Qi silently picked up the Mantou in front of her and stared at it blankly for a long time without taking a bite.

“This is the Mantou you made.” Shen Cheng placed his chin gently on Little Qi’s fluffy head, feeling the soft texture, and smiled warmly.

“…” With a blank gaze, Little Qi looked at the Mantou for a moment, then gently opened her small mouth and took a tiny bite, chewing twice before swallowing, and then fell back into silence.

Shen Cheng: “…”

Did she not like it?

Thinking for a moment, Shen Cheng picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a small piece of vegetable, and placed it on the small bite mark Little Qi had left on the Mantou: “Now, try it again?”

“…” Little Qi still responded to Shen Cheng with silence. After a moment, she lowered her head and took a bite of the Mantou along with the vegetable, chewed twice, and then blankly turned her head to look at Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng blinked, then laughed softly. He grabbed more vegetables and placed them on the Mantou Little Qi was holding: “If you like it, eat a little more.”

Little Qi took another bite of the Mantou, and after swallowing, she seemed to respond to Shen Cheng with a slight nod.

Could she… understand what I’m saying now?

Seeing this, Shen Cheng paused for a moment, then after some thought, tentatively asked Little Qi, “Little Qi, can you feed me a bite?”

“Ehh—” Nearby, Nana let out a disgusted noise, still holding the arm of the dough figure in her mouth.

Shen Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly, and he shot Nana a sidelong glance. Just as he was about to speak, the next moment, he felt something warm and soft block his mouth.

Shifting his gaze back, he saw Little Qi looking up at him with her vacant eyes, her Mantou held stiffly and pressed against his mouth.

After a moment’s pause, Shen Cheng gently bit off a piece of the Mantou, slowly chewing it in his mouth. Unconsciously, his nose felt slightly sour.

Tenderly rubbing Little Qi’s small head, Shen Cheng let out a sigh like a doting father, “You’ve finally grown up…”
