Chapter 119: The Melody
The sun, which had just revealed a corner, was quickly covered by dark clouds again, and the sky once again became dark and gloomy.
The white snow covering the ground reflected the light, making the ground even brighter than the sky.
Fei Zhiyan’s raised foot paused slightly. He tapped his chin with his finger, his gaze sweeping over the snowmen of various sizes, finally stopping on the last small snowman.
With a feigned surprise, Fei Zhiyan turned around, even poking the ball of snow on the little snowman’s head with his hand, and couldn’t help but shake his head lightly. “That’s strange. Where did Nuonuo go?”
Fei Zhiyan’s eyes were filled with a smile. He crossed his arms and looked at the little snowman opposite him, looking quite troubled. “He couldn’t have gotten lost, could he? But there’s an extra little snowman that looks just like Nuonuo.”
As he spoke, the “little snowman” opposite him giggled.
Seeing his papa’s gaze, the “little snowman” quickly covered his mouth, but the smile still sneaked out from his eyes. “Papa is silly! I’m Nuonuo!”
Nuonuo crinkled his eyes with a smile, shook the snow off his little head, and even spun around his papa. “Papa, did you recognize me?”
After spinning around, Nuonuo tilted his little face up, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Fei Zhiyan.
Fei Zhiyan nodded, gently pushed up the silver-rimmed glasses on his nose, and the smile on his lips never faded. “So it’s Nuonuo. I was wondering why the little snowman looked so much like you.”
Nuonuo’s skin was fair, and he was wearing a down jacket the same color as the snow. When he stood there obediently and motionless, at first glance, he really did look almost like a snow doll.
Just now, when Fei Zhiyan had gotten out of the car, he hadn’t looked closely. The first time he had swept his gaze over the several snowmen, he actually hadn’t felt anything was wrong.
Nuonuo giggled foolishly for a while and then ran to the other little snowmen, introducing them to his papa one by one. “This is Papa, this is Eldest Brother…”
The four snowmen were lined up in a row, so ugly that Fei Zhiyan couldn’t help but let out a soft “tsk.”
“I put Papa’s and my brothers’ scarves on the little snowmen, so they won’t be mistaken!”
Nuonuo tilted his little face up, his face full of pride.
Fei Zhiyan found it amusing. His gaze quickly swept past these several ugly snowmen, and he praised them with extreme insincerity. “Not bad.”
“Why are there only four? Isn’t there a little snowman for Nuonuo?”
Fei Luo, who had finally come down from upstairs, swung the little curls on his forehead and tilted his head to count them one by one. After finding that there were only four, he couldn’t help but ask.
Nuonuo, on the other hand, toddled to the end of the four snowmen, stood in line with them, and puffed out his little chest. “Snowman Nuonuo has been here all along!”
Fei Luo pursed his lips and laughed. He looked at the snowman third brother, who was wearing his scarf, and still felt that something was missing next to it. He thought for a moment and said, “Let’s make another snowman.”
Otherwise, these four little snowmen, although there were many, still looked lonely.
Fei Zhiyan also nodded lightly, his gaze on the four snowmen, thinking to himself that a family should be neat and tidy.
And so, taking advantage of the fact that the sky had not yet completely darkened, the three of them, one rolling snow, one with a shovel, were busy as can be.
Finally, at the arrival of night, the last round little snowman was built.
With Fei Zhiyan, an adult, present, this little snowman was much better looking than his several snowman papas and brothers.
A chubby body, a chubby head, and two black glass beads for eyes, looking very well-behaved and cute.
Nuonuo tilted his head and looked at it for a long while, then toddled over, stood on his tiptoes, and took off the bright yellow scarf with a little yellow duck embroidered on it from his own neck, and wrapped it around the short, stout little snowman.
A cool breeze rose at night, blowing the scarves on the necks of the four snowmen. The different colors of blue, white, red, gray, and yellow intertwined, quietly shining together in the dark night.
Fei Jing, who had returned late from work, saw the several extra snowmen in the yard. His hand, which was rubbing his forehead, paused for a moment, and a hint of warmth appeared in the corners of his eyes.
Although except for the last one, the other snowmen were just irregular spheres, Fei Jing did not dislike them. He even took out his phone and took a few photos from several angles.
Many night owl fans were boredly scrolling through Weibo when they suddenly saw Fei Jing’s update.
[Family photo. (image) (image)…]
In the nine-grid photo were five little snowmen standing in a row.
This winter vacation, Nuonuo and Lei Xiaoyan and the others had played wildly, having snowball fights, rolling snowballs, sledding… they had played all over the complex.
But besides playing, Nuonuo had finally, with his own continuous efforts, learned to play a very simple “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”
When he had played the last note without a mistake, Lin Mian on the side, who hadn’t even dared to breathe, finally let out the breath he had been holding in his lungs.
“Finally! Ahhh! He finally played it!”
Lin Mian was happier than if he had played a song himself. He held the obediently sitting Nuonuo on the piano stool, lifted him above his head, and spun him around with a howl.
Nuonuo’s little head was dizzy from being spun. By the time he was put down by Lin Mian, his little feet couldn’t even walk in a straight line, and he stumbled towards the piano.
Seeing this, Lin Mian quickly let out a couple of “ai”s and held Nuonuo’s little body to prevent the tragedy of him bumping his forehead.
Nuonuo’s little head was dizzy, his eyes curved into a spiral. After a long while, he blinked his little eyes and came back to his senses.
“Hehe, Nuonuo is so amazing. We’ll go and sign up for the city’s children’s piano competition tomorrow. We’ll show them all!”
Lin Mian had seen this competition in an advertisement a while ago. It was specially held by the city for three- or four-year-old children. The professionalism was not high, and it mainly gave the little friends a stage to show off.
All the little friends who performed on stage, no matter how well they played, would receive a small trophy.
Before, Nuonuo couldn’t play a complete song, and Lin Mian was still hesitating whether to wait until next year to sign up.
But now there was no need to wait. He couldn’t wait to take Nuonuo and sweep the piano competition!
“By then, when we receive the award, we have to be cold and aloof. Artists are all people with tempers! Right, I have to think about what to wear when I receive the award…”
Lin Mian stroked his chin and began to consider, even mumbling and wanting Nuonuo to help him choose.
Fei Jing, who was resting at home on the side, leaned against the wall, rubbed his forehead lightly, and let out a cold laugh to stop his foolish behavior. “It’s not you who’s competing. What are you so excited about?”
Lin Mian looked at the beautiful Fei Jing holding a teacup, his cold gaze glancing at him, and quickly made a zipping motion with his mouth, not daring to speak.
Although he would occasionally be dazed by Fei Jing’s beauty, Lin Mian was still very timid. The moment the other’s gaze turned cold, he would immediately shut up.
Because of this timid personality, Lin Mian had successfully survived among a group of great villains until now.
In fact, he felt that with such a legendary experience, when he returned to the headquarters, it would definitely be enough for him to boast about!
This is an S-level world!
Lin Mian couldn’t help but think with a smug hum. According to the news revealed by the great villain Fei Zhiyan, the other transmigrators were almost completely wiped out!
Unable to help but feel smug again, Lin Mian, at dinner time, told the other villains about Nuonuo going to the piano competition.
“I’m confident I can get Nuonuo a trophy!”
Lin Mian said a long string of words with a tense chin and a serious expression.
Nuonuo’s little eyes also lit up, and he even raised his fist in his milky voice. “I’ll get a trophy!”
Fei Zhiyan let out a light laugh, took a napkin from the butler to wipe his hands, and nodded. “Then go.”
Rubbing Nuonuo’s soft little head, Fei Zhiyan’s heart also couldn’t help but feel a hint of anticipation.
Perhaps seeing the cub he had raised finally achieve something, Fei Zhiyan’s heart was even a little hot with this hope.
Nuonuo, on the other hand, nodded his little head seriously and seriously. “Papa, I will get a trophy!”
Fei Zhiyan also smiled and nodded, rubbing the little one’s soft hair. “Good.”
Because he was going to participate in the competition, Lin Mian specially stayed behind tonight to practice a few more times with Nuonuo.
By the time Nuonuo was yawning, his little head nodding as he returned to his bedroom, he found Fei Luo sitting on the small sofa.
“Brother?”
Nuonuo called out in confusion, even thinking he had gone to the wrong bedroom. He quickly turned his body, poked his little head out, and looked at the door to see if there was a cartoon little duck pendant hanging on it.
“Brother, I didn’t go to the wrong one!”
Nuonuo ran over, also climbed onto the small sofa, and held his little face as he looked at his brother.
Fei Luo nodded, let out a slow breath, and after preparing himself mentally a few times, he finally took out his things from behind him.
“Nuonuo, this is for you.”
Fei Luo’s fingertips were trembling slightly, his eyelashes trembling with nervousness and anticipation as he looked at Nuonuo without blinking.
Nuonuo saw the little doll in Fei Luo’s hand, which was about the size of a palm. His little eyes immediately widened, his little mouth slightly open in a “wow,” and his sleepiness was chased away.
“Is it a gift for me?”
Nuonuo reached out his little hands and took the little doll, gently touching its little head.
This little doll looked a little dazed and silly. Its hair was as black and soft as Nuonuo’s, and its little body should be filled with a lot of cotton, looking even fatter and rounder than Fei Luo’s own little doll.
Nuonuo really liked this little doll, which resembled him a little. He held him in his arms and happily shook his little head. “Brother and I both have a little doll now!”
Fei Luo looked at Nuonuo’s happy expression, and a hint of light finally appeared in his big eyes. His lips curled up slightly, and he nodded his head vigorously.
