you are the cutest in the world

Chapter 3 Cub Raising Day 3

At this time, Wei You didn't feel sleepy at all, but he still lay on the bed with Wei Xu, because the child said he wanted to hear him tell a story.

Hearing this request at first, Wei You was a little embarrassed.

Although when playing games before, one of the tasks that must be done every day was to tell me a bedtime story, but at that time there was a system that provided story templates, and he only had to read it to his phone. Now let him think about it temporarily. Can not think of.

Fortunately, after entering the room, Wei Xu took out a storybook from the bedside table and gave it to him, saving him from the embarrassment of not being able to make up a story.

Wei You flipped through the book in his hand. The book was quite worn out, the book was off-line, and the cover had disappeared, but the contents inside were still intact, with no missing pages or blurred places.

He flipped through several stories and found that this was a collection of fairy tales.

He asked casually, "Where did you get this book from?"

"Grandma Li next door gave it to me."

"Grandma Li is very enthusiastic."

Wei Xu responded sullenly.

Wei You turned his head to look at him. The child was completely stuffed under the quilt, only half of his face was exposed, and his eyes looked at him shyly from outside the quilt.

"Isn't it hot, cover it so tightly?" Wei You pulled the quilt down, letting him expose his nose.

Different from the real world which is still in winter, the season here is in the early autumn of September. Even at night, there is still some lingering heat in the air.

Fortunately, there was an old ceiling fan in this room, and upon entering the room, Wei You turned the switch of the ceiling fan to the maximum setting.

Only when he was blown by the flowing wind did he feel less stuffy.

Hearing his question, Wei Xu seemed to just feel the heat, and pulled the quilt to his chest nimbly, exposing his two thin arms.

Wei You opened the book from the beginning, and the first story was Andersen's "Thumbelina".

"Have you read this book before?"

Wei Xu blinked and shook his head.

"Then I'll read it from the beginning, and today I'll start with the story of Thumbelina."

Wei You put a pillow on his back, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "Once upon a time there was a woman who was very eager to have a child, but she didn't know how to realize this wish, so she went to ask the witch ..."

The man has a naturally soft voice, and his tone of voice is especially lyrical when he tells a story, with a reassuring magic.

Wei Xu looked aimlessly at the ceiling fan spinning on the ceiling, and listened to Wei You's voice, unconsciously feeling sleepy.

He tried hard to hear the content of the story clearly, but he couldn't help closing his eyes in a daze. He only felt the gentle male voice lingering in his ears like a lullaby, which reminded him of the memories of two years ago. picture...

I can't remember when it started, there will always be something inexplicably in the house, or delicious food, or beautiful clothes, and every night, the voice of a strange man will ring in my ears.

At the beginning, Wei Xu had fear and fear, thinking that he might have encountered the ghost mentioned on TV.

But after a long time, he found that the ghost would not only not harm him, but would also give him gifts, take care of his daily life, and tell him interesting fairy tales. So later, his feelings for Brother Transparent gradually turned into expectation and love. like.

During that time, the biggest support for his survival was a transparent person, he didn't have to care about the origin and identity of the other party, as long as he could often come to accompany him.

However, the other party disappeared after taking care of him for a short period of time.

For more than two years, he has been looking forward to the other party's return all the time, making a wish every day, and being disappointed every day, so he waited for a long time...

Fortunately, he is finally back now, not only that, but his brother has a body this time.

The other party was a tall and thin young man with a pair of soft and sharp eyes, a hundred times more beautiful than he imagined.

Thinking of this, Wei Xu, who was originally drowsy, suddenly felt an indescribable excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but raised his hand to grab the cloth on Wei You's arm.

"The old toad said, 'Beauty, this is my son, and he is your future husband'."

Wei You deliberately lowered his voice to sound like an old man. At this moment, he suddenly felt his sleeves drop down.

He looked down and saw that the child's eyes were obediently closed, so he just raised his hand and patted the back of the child's hand without paying much attention.

The story of "Thumbelina" is neither short nor long. Wei You spent more than ten minutes reading it with emotion, then closed the book and put it back in the drawer.

Gua Zai seemed to be awakened by his movement, and opened his big foggy eyes.

Wei You turned around: "How are you, are you sleepy?"

Wei Xu nodded and yawned big at the same time, his eyes instantly became teary, and he asked with this look: "Brother, can you sleep with Gua Zai?"

Seeing the watery light in his eyes, Wei You felt soft ripples in his heart, thinking that he had nothing to do anyway, so he responded, "Okay, it just so happened that I was also hypnotized by the story I was reading. That melon cub closes his eyes first, I'm going to turn off the light."

Hearing this, Wei Xu obediently closed his eyes.

This bed is not big, but it can still sleep two people, one big and one small.

Wei You covered Wei Xu with the quilt first, then reached out to press the light to turn off, and slipped into the bed.

After turning off the lights, the field of vision suddenly became pitch black.

Darkness will always breed all kinds of fantasies. Wei You lay on his back on the bed, wondering for a moment whether all this was a dream of his own.

But he quickly rejected this idea. Whether it was the smell of the unfamiliar shampoo in his nose or the sound of the fan echoing in his ears, it proved that he was indeed in this strange game world.

Wei You exhaled lightly, closed his eyes, and involuntarily began to think about the next plan in his mind.

First of all, he needs money. Without money, they will have to drink northwest wind tomorrow.

Secondly, he needs a temporary residence. He can live here temporarily because Wei Xu's father is away, and when Wei Xu's father comes back, the other party will probably not allow a strange man to live in his home.

After solving the above two points, what needs to be considered is how to go back.

In reality, he has family, friends, good job and income, even if he likes Gua Zai very much, it is impossible for him to stay here willingly.

But the trouble is, returning to the real world is out of his control...

In the middle of the development of his thoughts, he was suddenly interrupted. He felt that his arms under the quilt were entangled by a pair of small arms.

Wei You turned his head, and through the blurred light coming in from the curtains, he saw Gua Zai sleeping peacefully with his left arm in his arms.

He was not used to being hugged, but he was afraid of disturbing the child's sleep, so he endured it and did not move.

After enduring it for a long time, until his arm felt a little numb, he felt that Gua Zai should be fast asleep, so he gently pulled his left hand out of the child's embrace.

However, not long after, the child next to him clung to him again, his arms tightly wrapped around his.

This time, not only the face was attached, but the legs were also wrapped around it.

Wei You felt like a tree trunk being hugged by a koala at this moment, and he couldn't shake it off.

There is no way, and it is impossible to conjure up a doll to replace him now, Wei You can only pretend that he has no left hand, and comfort himself to go to sleep, as long as he falls asleep, he will not feel awkward.

Wei You, who stayed up late all the year round, thought he must not be able to fall asleep, but he didn't know whether it was because of the influence of the environment here, or the sound of the ceiling fan was too hypnotic. Within a few minutes, he really felt drowsy, and fell into sleep unconsciously. .

·

In the early morning of the next day, Wei You was woken up by the sound of an alarm.

He frowned, and reflexively reached out to touch the phone, but found nothing, opened his eyes and saw a light green wall, and then suddenly realized where he was.

A small figure sat up from the side, yawning and rubbing his eyes.

Wei You blinked vigorously a few times, and his mind gradually came to his senses. He stood up with his arms, turned off the small alarm clock on the bedside table, and saw that it was only [-]:[-].

"Going to school?" he asked, his voice hoarse.

Wei Xu nodded, squinting his eyes, pouting his lips, and puffing his cheeks, he clearly looked like he hadn't woken up yet, but his hands automatically touched his clothes on the bed.

Wei You couldn't help laughing when he saw this, he stretched his waist, and then stretched his arms to pick up Wei Xu's clothes.

"Is this it?" Wei You unfolded the black and red sportswear in his hand and brought it in front of Wei Xu, "School uniform?"

Wei Xu opened his eyes with effort, then nodded in response.

"Come on, turn around, and I'll put it on for you."

Wei Xu turned his back obediently, and Wei You grabbed his arm and put it into his sleeve, tidied up his skirt, and pulled the zipper of his school uniform to his chest.

After getting dressed and jumping off the bed, Wei You couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly: "Why is your school uniform so big?"

Wei Xu: "Everyone's school uniforms are big."

Of course Wei You can understand that it is normal for children to grow up fast and make their school uniforms bigger, but Gua Zai's set is too big, and the sleeves are so long that they can be used for singing.

Is it because the child is too thin?

He put on the slippers in front of the boy, squatted down and rolled up the hem of his trousers which had almost been dragged to the ground twice.

Wei Xu let him tidy up his clothes without saying a word, and as soon as he got dressed, he took small steps to the bathroom to wash up.

Wei You followed and washed his face and brushed his teeth together.

Seeing that Wei Xu was in a hurry, he asked, "What time do you want to arrive at school?"

"The teacher said before seven twenty, but we usually arrive at seven."

"So early."

The boy nodded earnestly.

Wei You asked, "Do you want me to take you to school?"

Wei Xu stopped brushing his teeth and raised his eyes to stare at him in the mirror.

Wei You met his expectant gaze in the mirror, and immediately understood his answer.

He sighed pretending to be annoyed: "Let me take you there, we melon cubs are so cute, and there are so many bad guys out there, I don't feel relieved."

Wei Xu gave a soft "um", lowered his head by spitting toothpaste foam, his ears were slightly red.

·

After a hasty preparation, Gua Zai finally set off for school.

Wei You helped him carry the schoolbag with one hand, and locked the door with the key in the other.

Not to mention, even though it is the schoolbag of a second-grade elementary school student, this bag is really heavy.

Wei Xu lives on the fourth floor of an old residential building, and there is a dark and narrow alleyway outside the residential building.

Because of sending the children to school, Wei You was lucky enough to eat the breakfast of [-] cents from Gua Zai's mouth.

It is glutinous rice sold by an old woman in the alley. You can choose to stuff potato shreds, dried plums, chopped pickled mustard and other side dishes into the rice balls. If you are willing to spend more, you can also add some meat dishes to the rice balls, which will have a richer taste.

The old lady is obviously a proficient hand, kneading the glutinous rice quickly and tightly, and packing it in a thin plastic bag, it looks quite clean and hygienic.

Wei Xu bought himself a rice ball wrapped in shredded potatoes, and Wei You a glutinous rice with dried vegetables.

Wei You was very embarrassed. The child had little pocket money, and he had to take up his meager fifty cents.

But he was really hungry, he hadn't eaten since yesterday's lunch, thinking that he would have the energy to find work later when he was full, so he accepted Gua Zai's kindness.

The [-] cents portion of glutinous rice is just enough to fill a child's stomach, but not enough for an adult.

Wei You finished eating the rice balls in a few mouthfuls. He looked down and saw that Gua Zai was holding the rice balls in both hands, and was eating them cherishingly with his head down.

This kind of action, coupled with his little white face, made him look a bit pitiful for no reason.

Wei You sighed softly, carried the schoolbag on his left shoulder with one hand, and lightly put Gua Zai's right shoulder on his right hand, protecting him as he crossed the road.

On the way, in addition to memorizing the route, he also intentionally looked for job opportunities.

He is in urgent need of money now, so it is best to have a job that can be completed on the same day.

It's a pity that this place seems to be a relatively remote town. Although there are many shops on the street, they are all family-run, and there are a lot of food stores and clothing stores. There are almost no large-scale stores.

But Wei You is not discouraged, it is still early, many shops are not open, and it is not too late to come back later, he still does not believe that such a good guy like himself can not find a temporary job.

The elementary school is about two streets away from home, and it takes about 15 minutes to walk based on the child's footsteps.

Gua Zai took his last bite of the glutinous rice ball without haste and walked to the school gate.

Wei You saw the sign of "Xiangfang No. [-] Primary School" beside the big iron gate of the school, and thought to himself that this place is called Xiangfang, which is indeed a name he has never heard of.

Last night, through the TV news, he has confirmed that this is still the earth and country he was originally in, but whether it is 15 years ago in his own time and space, he is still not sure.

All this takes time to verify slowly.

During school hours, the iron gates of the school are open, and a steady stream of elementary school students carrying schoolbags enter the school gate.

In addition, there is a grocery store selling everything as expected in front of the school.

There are many little radish heads in the same school uniform inside and outside the store. Three or five students gather together to eat breakfast, brag and chat, and the air is filled with the smell of meat buns and spicy soup.

Wei Xu, who was penniless, didn't linger on the small shop at all, and walked towards the school gate with the schoolbag handed over by Wei You on his back.

After walking two steps, he turned around again, looked at Wei You with his head raised and his eyes wide open.

"what happened?"

Wei Xu blinked his eyes and remained motionless.

Wei You didn't wait for him to speak, so he knelt down to meet his gaze, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say, Gua Zai?"

Wei Xu shook his head, his eyes still fixed on him.

Wei You stared at him without knowing why.

At this time, the voice of a young father who was riding a motorcycle to send his children to school suddenly reached his ears.

"Don't run around after school, your grandma will pick you up." The father shouted loudly.

Wei You felt as if he had realized something.

He couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh on Gua Zai's cheek and asked, "What time does school end?"

Wei Xu replied pretending not to care, "Ten past four."

"Got it, wait for me obediently at the school gate after school."

Although he deliberately restrained his joy, when he heard this sentence, the corner of the boy's mouth rose uncontrollably, and he nodded vigorously.

Wei You raised his hand and rubbed the hair on the top of his head, stood up and said, "Go."

Wei Xu suddenly opened his arms and hugged his waist, buried his head in the clothes in front of his belly and rubbed it.

Before Wei You could react, he quickly turned around and ran away shyly.

Wei You lowered his head and tugged at the hem of his clothes that had been messed up by him, and muttered, "Little sticky man" with a light smile.
