The Chinese Spirit's Family Rescue Adventure

At first, Wen Chi was quite touched. But on second thought, something didn't seem right.

"Suisui, didn't I tell you not to go out?"

"I didn't promise you anything!" Suisui spread her small hands, looking very self-righteous.

Wen Chi was speechless and finally managed to choke out, "... I'm going to make breakfast."

"Wait!" Suisui jumped down from the big bluestone as nimbly as a little monkey and reached Wen Chi in a few steps. "What should I call you?"

Wen Chi was taken aback. "Call me?"

Suisui nodded. "Yeah, you don't like me calling you brother, do you?"

She couldn't keep calling him "predestined one" all the time, Suisui thought to herself.

Wen Chi: "It's not that I don't like it..."

It was just that he wasn't used to it. That word "brother" always brought back those painful memories.

"Then you can call me..."

"Xiao Chi!" Suisui's eyes lit up like two small light bulbs. "I'll call you Xiao Chi!"

Wen Chi frowned. "I don't think it's appropriate."

Suisui looked up. "Why not?"

Under the gaze of those innocent big eyes, Wen Chi gave in. "... As long as you're happy."

"Okay, Xiao Chi!" Suisui replied crisply.

Wen Chi felt really aggrieved, but he had been in the wrong yesterday.

The viewers in the barrage were laughing their heads off:

[Hahaha!]

[Look at the cub's amazing logic!]

[Who's enjoying this? I am, hahaha!]

[Wen Chi has nothing to say now, right? You've got your comeuppance!]

[I love watching Suisui 'put Wen Chi in his place'... Oh no, Xiao Chi!]

"... I'm going to make breakfast." Wen Chi walked towards the house as if he was running away.

But how could Suisui let him go? She grabbed the little hen by the neck and hopped along behind him. "There's a little chick too!"

Wen Chi was dumbfounded when he saw the little hen in Suisui's hand, gasping for air, almost rolling its eyes back.

"You, you're not afraid?"

"Afraid? Why should I be?" Suisui looked puzzled and stuffed the little hen into Wen Chi's arms. "It's for you to eat!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little hen started flapping its wings and slapped Wen Chi several times on the face!

"Cluck, cluck, cluck!"

Wen Chi was in a fluster, with feathers flying everywhere in his mouth. "Sui, Suisui... Pah, pah, pah"

Suisui sighed, took a step forward, and tightened her small face. "Be quiet! I'll get angry if you don't!"

Wen Chi was wondering if it would work. Well, the little hen immediately calmed down.

Wen Chi was flabbergasted:?

What a chicken that bullies the weak and fears the strong!

Not only was Wen Chi surprised, but the viewers in the live broadcast room also exploded:

[Hmm? What did I just see?]

[These days, even chickens know how to play to the gallery!]

[Xiao Chi, you're no good. You can't even compare to a three-year-old kid!]

[Am I the only one who thinks something's wrong? Why isn't a chicken afraid of an adult but is afraid of a child?]

[Mate, you really underestimate the 'power' of a three-year-old cub!]

[Xiao Chi is too weak. Confirmed. / dog /]

The barrage was full of laughter and no one thought too deeply about it. Suisui was also calm, as if it was nothing unusual.

She was a proper little ginseng spirit. It was a piece of cake for her to subdue a little chick.

"Don't worry, it won't make any more trouble!" Suisui's childish voice sounded quite imposing.

Wen Chi glanced at the quiet little hen in his arms and muttered a thank you. Then he carried the hen into the kitchen and picked up a kitchen knife, ready to slaughter it.

Suisui followed him in to watch the fun. Wen Chi put on a straight face. "Kids shouldn't watch."

Suisui didn't mind him treating her like a kid and asked eagerly, "Why not? Aren't you going to kill the chicken?"

Wen Chi was stumped. He hadn't had much contact with kids and had just assumed that kids would be too soft-hearted to watch.

But then he thought that sometimes, innocent kids could be crueler than adults, just like he was when he was young.

Wen Chi's eyes darkened.

Suisui asked again, "Xiao Chi, what dish are you going to make? Chicken stew with mushrooms? Braised chicken?"

Suisui had never eaten these dishes before. She just had a bit of an impression after seeing the villagers make them.

Wen Chi was dumbfounded when he heard that. That's when he realized — he didn't know how to kill a chicken or cook.

With a clang, Wen Chi put down the kitchen knife and tied the little hen in the corner.

"Suisui, do you like fried eggs or boiled eggs?"

"I like radishes!" To nourish the body according to its shape!

"Okay, then let's have boiled eggs." Wen Chi pretended not to hear and thought to himself that boiled eggs were safe. At least they wouldn't burn.

He put the eggs in the pot, told Suisui not to go near the kitchen, and then quickly went into the house to take a shower and change his clothes.

It wasn't easy for Wen Chi, with his cleanliness obsession, to hold back until now. And he was worried about Suisui outside, so he finished everything at top speed.

When he came out quickly after casually wiping his wet hair with a towel a few times...

The members of the director's team had arrived.

"You..." Wen Chi was startled at first and then quickly realized, "You're here to pick up Suisui?"

This should have been what he was looking forward to. Once Suisui left, he wouldn't have to clean up, catch chickens, or struggle to get along with the little cub...

But for some reason, he felt a bit empty and uncomfortable inside.

Wen Chi pretended not to care and said, "Just in time. Take Suisui away."

The angry Suisui wriggled out from between the people. "I'm not leaving! I said I wouldn't leave!"

Her eyes were red like a little rabbit's, holding back her tears, and glaring at Wen Chi angrily: Why did you go back on your word!

The lady from the director's team tried to coax her with candies, but Suisui didn't even look at them.

Wen Chi felt a pang in his heart when he saw her like this and turned his head away ruthlessly. "Call her parents..."

"We don't know." The director, Jian Lin, who had rushed back overnight, stepped over the threshold and said helplessly to Wen Chi, "We don't know who her parents are. This little one wasn't arranged by our program team."

Wen Chi was stunned. "What? Suisui isn't an NPC? Then who is she?"

Not only was Wen Chi shocked, but the live broadcast room also exploded:

[What? Suisui isn't an NPC arranged by the program team?]

[I'm speechless! What a huge blunder!]

[This is a broadcasting accident, right?]

[Where are Suisui's parents? Whose irresponsible parents let their kid run around?]

[No, this is too ridiculous! Is the program team staging this for hype?]
