After being abandoned by my biological mother, my stepmother took me home

"Knock knock knock~" Gu Lingyan knocked on Gu Yebai's study with Xiao Mengmeng.

"Please come in!" Gu Yebai's indifferent voice came from inside. He had been busy in the study since he went upstairs. When someone knocked on the door, he thought it was Butler Liu bringing supper.

"Daddy!" Gu Lingyan opened the door and walked in with Xiao Mengmeng. Xiao Mengmeng poked her head out from behind Gu Lingyan and shouted to Gu Yebai, holding the little bear in her arms.

"You two are not sleeping, what are you doing here?" Gu Yebai looked at Gu Lingyan and Xiao Mengmeng in surprise and asked.

"We were preparing to go to bed, but suddenly we remembered that we hadn't said good night to dad yet!" Gu Lingyan looked at Gu Yebai and explained.

"It doesn't matter if you forget next time. You should go to bed at this time." Gu Yebai said angrily and helplessly.

"Yeah, good night, dad!" Gu Lingyan nodded and said.

"Good night, daddy!" Xiao Mengmeng looked at Gu Yebai and said.

"Good night, go to bed quickly!" Gu Yebai urged the two of them.

"Well, sister, let's go back to sleep?" Gu Lingyan closed the study door with Xiao Mengmeng and returned to their own room.

"Good night, sister!" Gu Lingyan said while lying on the bed looking at Xiao Mengmeng.

"Good night, sister!" Xiao Mengmeng also turned to look in Gu Lingyan's direction and said.

"dong dong dong..."

Not long after Gu Lingyan and Xiao Mengmeng closed their eyes, there was a thumping sound outside the window. Gu Lingyan and Xiao Mengmeng opened their eyes at the same time and glanced at each other.

"Sister, did you hear that?" Gu Lingyan looked at Xiao Mengmeng in horror and whispered.

"Yes, I heard it." Xiao Mengmeng was a little confused, looking at Gu Lingyan blankly and nodded.

"What's the sound? Is that monster coming again?" Gu Lingyan's frightened body kept shaking in the bed.

"It's okay sister, I'll go take a look."

When Xiao Mengmeng saw that Gu Lingyan was so scared, she couldn't help but feel scared, but she tried hard to suppress this fear. She climbed up from the bed, looking at the moonlight and the light of the street lamp downstairs. The shadow of a large black bird extended from the window to the wall of the room.

"Sister, have you seen what it is?" Gu Lingyan covered her head with the quilt and looked at Xiao Mengmeng with her eyes exposed and asked.

"Shh! Sister, let's keep our voices down. Let's go out to find daddy." Xiao Mengmeng covered Gu Lingyan's mouth with one hand and whispered to Gu Lingyan while looking at the black figure warily.

"Yeah." Gu Lingyan nodded silently.

Xiao Mengmeng and Gu Lingyan quietly climbed out of the bed. They looked at the black shadow outside the window warily and moved towards the door. When they arrived at the door, they saw that the black shadow had not made any movement. They quickly opened the door and rushed out, running towards Gu Yebai's study.

"Knock knock knock..." Gu Lingyan and Xiao Mengmeng patted the door of Gu Yebai's study anxiously.

"Dad, help!" Gu Lingyan cried in fear.

"Daddy, open the door quickly!" Xiao Mengmeng was also banging on the door of Gu Yebai's study room.

"Click~" The door opened.

"What's wrong? Didn't you go to bed?" Gu Yebai asked, looking at Xiao Mengmeng and Gu Lingyan in confusion.

"Dad, there is a monster in our room!" The moment Gu Lingyan saw Gu Yebai opening the door, she rushed forward without hesitation and hugged Gu Yebai's thigh, crying.

"Yeah! Daddy, there is a monster that eats children in our room!" Xiao Mengmeng hugged Gu Yebai's other leg and said in fear.

"Click!" Another door opened, and Bai Luochen walked out.

"What are you doing here without sleeping at night?" After Bai Luochen heard the sound, he opened the door and came out to check. Then he saw Gu Lingyan and Xiao Mengmeng staying up at night. One person hugged Gu Yebai's leg and burst into tears.

"There is a monster that eats children in our room. We dare not go back to the room to sleep." Gu Lingyan said while looking at Bai Luochen with tears in her eyes.

"A monster that eats children? Have you two watched too many cartoons recently?" Bai Luochen looked at Gu Lingyan with disbelief and said.

"If you don't believe it, you can go and see it. It's still in our room!" Gu Lingyan retorted while looking at Bai Luochen.

"Okay, I'll accompany you to see what this child-eating monster looks like!" Bai Luochen said and walked towards Gu Lingyan and Xiao Mengmeng's room.

"Let's go, daddy will go with you to have a look, don't be afraid!" Gu Yebai put his big palm on the heads of Gu Lingyan and Xiao Mengmeng soothingly and said.

"Okay." Gu Lingyan nodded, but she had no intention of letting go of Gu Yebai's thigh. Xiao Mengmeng had already let go of Gu Yebai's other leg.

"Let dad go first. How can dad walk like this?" Gu Yebai looked at Gu Lingyan helplessly and amusedly and said, "Don't look at Gu Lingyan who is usually very aggressive, but he didn't expect to be so timid."

"Oh!" Only then did Gu Lingyan react. She let go of Gu Yebai's thigh and tugged on his clothes instead.

"Do you still want to watch it?" Bai Luochen stood at the door of Gu Lingyan and Xiao Mengmeng's room, looking back at Gu Lingyan, Xiao Mengmeng and Gu Yebai urged.

"Shall we go?" Gu Yebai walked over with Xiao Mengmeng and Gu Lingyan.

"Where is the monster that eats children?" Bai Luochen asked, looking at Gu Lingyan and Xiao Mengmeng."

"At the window!" Gu Lingyan replied hiding behind Gu Yebai in fear.

"Hide now, I'm going to open the door and go in!" Bai Luochen put a hand on the doorknob and looked back at Gu Lingyan to remind him.

"Yeah, sister, come here." Gu Lingyan nodded, not forgetting to give Xiao Mengmeng a hand.

Seeing that Gu Lingyan and Xiao Mengmeng were hiding, Bai Luochen opened the door and walked in. Gu Yebai followed him and walked in. They saw a black shadow coming in from outside the window.

"That's it." Gu Lingyan said fearfully behind Gu Yebai, pointing at the shadow on the ground.

"Why does this look familiar?" Bai Luochen looked at the shadow on the ground with some confusion and said thoughtfully.

"It's a bit like the eagle that eats monkeys in "Black Cat Sheriff"!" Xiao Mengmeng reminded.

"Hmm, it's a bit similar, but it's not that familiar, it always feels familiar!" Bai Luochen couldn't remember this feeling at the moment.

"This should be the shadow of some kind of bird standing outside, illuminated by street lights and moonlight. Open the curtains and look for it." Gu Yebai said looking out the window.

"That's right, there are no monsters that eat children in this world. They just scare themselves because they have too much imagination!" Bai Luochen smiled and opened the window.
