Chapter 99: The Ice Cream
The system-produced bomb was indeed of very good quality.
With a loud rumble, more than half of the laboratory on the ground was blown to smithereens.
The amusement park was not far from this suburb, and some more sensitive people even felt the ground tremble slightly.
Nuonuo, because of his strong merman constitution, could even see the rising green smoke from such a distance.
Zhuang Jie also noticed it. Suddenly thinking of the fool who had said he was going to blow up a laboratory, his heart couldn’t help but shiver.
So he wasn’t just talking nonsense. He actually blew it up.
But in his previous life, he had been tied up in a laboratory by Fei Han quite a few times. At the thought that this ghostly place had finally disappeared, Zhuang Jie’s heart was filled with a sense of relief.
Nuonuo, on the other hand, was wearing the wide red work uniform the boss had found for him. He couldn’t help but peek his little head out and ask, “Huh, Zhuang Jie-jie, are they cooking over there? There’s smoke.”
Zhuang Jie also saw the rising smoke. Hearing Nuonuo’s words, the corners of his mouth almost twitched. “Not all smoke is from cooking. And besides, is there anything else in your little head besides eating?”
Nuonuo let out a dazed “oh,” and then said in a small, unhappy voice, “I do, ya. Papa said I have a lot of water in my head.”
Zhuang Jie: “That doesn’t sound like a compliment.”
Why do you look so proud?
“It is a compliment, ya. I’m a little merman. Of course, I have to have a lot of water in my head!” Nuonuo said very seriously, pursing his lips.
Zhuang Jie hadn’t even made an expression when the boss on the side couldn’t help but slap his leg and laugh out loud. “Haha, little friend, then you have to protect your little head. Otherwise, if you fall, a lot of water will pour out.”
Nuonuo nodded, then lifted his little face, his little hands on the edge of the cardboard box as he asked the boss with pleading eyes, “Boss, have I earned enough little money yet?”
Although Fei Han had already sent a message and location to Fei Jing, Fei Jing still hadn’t come over.
Having no other choice, Nuonuo had to put on the red vest work uniform and become the smallest “staff member” and part-time mascot in the shop.
The work uniform was even a little short on the other staff, but Nuonuo was only so tall. The red vest on him was worn like an apron, big and wide, swaying on his body.
His job was also very simple, just to stand at the door and greet customers.
The effect of the little bean recruiting customers was still remarkable. Especially since Nuonuo looked so cute, standing there and looking at you with pleading eyes, many little sisters and brothers who were smitten would come over to tease him and buy something along the way.
In fact, the boss also just thought Nuonuo was cute and was playing with him. And it was safer for the little one to be here. What if he ran out and got lost?
But the boss, who was immersed in his role as a black-hearted merchant, put on a straight face and fanned himself with his cattail leaf fan. “That’s still a long way off.”
Hearing this, Nuonuo’s little mouth couldn’t help but pucker. He counted on his fingers, trying his best to count. “I… I’m still a lot short, ya?”
Seeing his wronged little appearance, the boss couldn’t pretend anymore. He coughed lightly to clear his throat and quickly comforted him. “It’s not that much. The things you ate weren’t expensive. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine when your brother comes.”
Nuonuo lowered his little head and let out a long sigh, as if he had a lot of sadness. He took heavy little steps and continued to stand under the eaves, waiting for his brother to come and “ransom” him out.
Zhuang Jie looked at the other’s pitiful little appearance and really couldn’t bring himself to argue with Nuonuo about the matter of him eating an ice cream because he was greedy, which had led to both of them being held back.
Sighing softly, Zhuang Jie also went out, but his sharp eyes saw a person in a black shirt and black hat behind a telephone pole not far away, holding a camera and taking pictures with a click, click.
To be able to wrap himself up like a chrysalis in this weather, who else could it be but Fei Jing?
This guy’s wicked taste is too much. He’s actually taking pictures of Nuonuo’s embarrassing moments!
Although his personality was almost a world of difference from Nuonuo’s, thinking of the photos taken during this amusement park trip, Zhuang Jie still felt a moment of embarrassment for his self in this world.
When Nuonuo grows up, who knows how Fei Jing will use these photos to fool him!
One by one, they’re all black history!
Taking a deep breath, a protective emotion suddenly surged in Zhuang Jie’s chest.
No, I can bully Nuonuo, but others are not allowed!
Striding over, Zhuang Jie crossed his arms with a straight little face and let out a cold snort as he stood in front of Fei Jing. “Still taking pictures? Is this how you act as a brother?”
Fei Jing’s only exposed eyebrow raised slightly, and then he let out a cold, light scoff. “What do you think you are? It’s not your place to interfere in Nuonuo’s affairs.”
The two of them, who were enemies in their previous lives, almost started to argue in the street after just two sentences.
“Not my place? I’m the person in this world with the most right to protect Nuonuo!”
Zhuang Jie retorted angrily.
Anyone could have the possibility of harming Nuonuo, but only Zhuang Jie would not.
Besides standing by Nuonuo’s side, Zhuang Jie had no other choice.
“You have the right? You’re not even on the same household register.” At this point, Fei Jing’s raised brows couldn’t help but show a hint of pride.
These words directly hit Zhuang Jie’s heart, making him so angry he almost rolled his eyes.
And Fei Jing, on the other hand, lightly flicked the dust off the corner of his clothes, put away his camera, and quickly strode towards the shop entrance.
Nuonuo was standing by the door at this time, surrounded by two little sisters, who were holding the little cookies they had bought from the shop and trying to feed the cub.
“What’s your name? What are you doing here?”
Nuonuo nervously wrung his little hands, looked at the shop owner behind the cash register, and said in a small voice, “I… I’m working here, ya.”
The little sister cupped her face with a doting smile, her mind dizzy from the cuteness. She crouched in front of the little one and continued to ask, “You’re so young, and you’re already out earning money for milk powder? How about you come with big sister? Big sister will raise you, okay?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Big sisters will buy you delicious food.”
Nuonuo, on the other hand, shook his little head vigorously, his little face flushed red as he refused shyly. “No, ya. My brother is coming to find me.”
Just as he finished speaking, a light cough came from above Nuonuo’s head.
Nuonuo looked up in confusion, his little eyes suddenly lighting up. He quickly stretched out his little arms and ran to his brother to be held.
“Brother, brother!”
Fei Jing saw Nuonuo bouncing around his leg like a red chocolate bean, and the smile under his mask never stopped. He quickly reached out and picked up the little bean.
“Working?”
Fei Jing just wanted to tease Nuonuo. Seeing his little face turn red, his eyes couldn’t help but show a hint of mockery.
“Yes, ya. The boss wants me to earn money to ‘ransom’ myself.”
Nuonuo pursed his lips and, embarrassed, hugged his brother’s neck and said with his little head lowered.
Fei Jing let out a drawn-out “oh.” “So amazing. You’ve only been working for a few minutes, and you’ve already learned a new word.”
Nuonuo was so embarrassed his little ear tips were all red. He simply buried his little head in his brother’s shoulder and didn’t make a sound.
Fei Jing, on the other hand, let out a couple of light laughs, carried Nuonuo to the boss, and thanked him. “I’m so sorry for the trouble. Thank you for helping me look after my little brother.”
The boss also let out a “hey” and waved his hand. “It’s nothing. I was just counting the freezer, and when I turned my head, I saw the little one holding an ice cream. He’s so small, not even as tall as my knee, haha. And Nuonuo has also attracted a lot of business. Next time, you as a parent have to be more careful. It would be so worrying if such a beautiful child got lost.”
Thinking of the scene of Nuonuo sneaking a bite, Fei Jing also found it a little funny. He suppressed the smile on his lips and once again nodded his thanks to the boss.
Before they left, the boss took a few photos with Nuonuo and even waved his hand and gave them a new ice cream to eat.
And Nuonuo, being carried by Fei Jing for a long distance, was still peeking his little head out and looking around, asking worriedly, “Brother, will the boss catch me for eating ice cream?”
The boss was tall and burly. Although he was straightforward, his appearance was indeed a bit rough. And he had insisted on playing the role of a black-hearted boss, which made Nuonuo not even dare to eat the ice cream he was holding, afraid that he would be put in a little red vest again and placed at the shop entrance as a mascot.
Fei Jing finally couldn’t hold it in and laughed out loud. “It’s okay. Hurry up and eat. The boss can’t catch up.”
Nuonuo, seeing that he was getting farther and farther away, finally relaxed. He turned his head and happily held the ice cream, taking a big bite with a “awoo.”
Fei Jing looked at Nuonuo, who was shaking his little head again and eating with relish, and really felt that the little thing was living too carefree a life.
Shaking his head lightly, Fei Jing carried Nuonuo to the last stop.
The mirror house had once been very popular, but it had since fallen out of favor. There weren’t many people inside, and the entrance was empty.
But for little children, seeing themselves in the mirror, whether tall or fat or short or thin, they would still be startled and run around screaming.
Fei Jing couldn’t take Nuonuo to any too-dangerous attractions. After looking around, he finally found this one that was still playable.
Fei Luo was already standing there waiting. He had been tricked by Fei Jing into staying here, and his lips were pressed down in displeasure.
Seeing his second brother walk over, Fei Luo’s little curls instantly stood on end, his big eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of coldness in them as he looked at him. “Is Nuonuo okay?”
Fei Luo, who was not good at arguing, still pursed his lips and first went to check on his little brother.
Fei Jing let out a light “hmph” and flicked the hair on Fei Luo’s forehead. “Don’t you trust me? But there’s nothing you can do. You still have to call me Second Brother.”
Fei Luo felt a lump in his chest. He had even learned to glare without being taught, and he glanced at Fei Jing with a huff.
Nuonuo, seeing his third brother, was very happy and wanted to get down. He handed the ice cream he was holding to his third brother. “Brother, eat ice cream, ya! It’s sweet.”
Seeing Nuonuo hand over the little sweet cone ice cream, Fei Luo finally had no time to be angry with his second brother. He reached out and took it, his eyes crinkling as he said thank you to his little brother.
Eating the same ice cream, the two little ones held hands and were the first to enter the mirror house.
Fei Jing followed leisurely behind, while Zhuang Jie kept a certain distance from him, completely not wanting to breathe the same air as him.
But when he entered the house, Zhuang Jie still couldn’t help but say, “Your popularity is quite bad. Even Fei Luo can’t stand you.”
Fei Jing glanced at him and let out an “oh.” “It doesn’t matter. It’s enough that Nuonuo likes me.”
When it came to people and things he didn’t care about, he never liked to restrain his temper and didn’t care if his actions made the other person uncomfortable.
Fei Jing was a rose, full of thorns and small thorns. When facing people he didn’t like, he would only fight back with a hundred times the thorns, forcing you not to get close.
But when facing those he cared about, what he showed was a blooming flower.
And coincidentally, at present, only Nuonuo was being protected in his heart.
