484: Still works

Still works

" This is really a hideout?" Little Zimo looked around the tree house with an awed expression as he looked left and right before his gaze fell on the room that he was going to share with Li Hanjing and Xiao Hua. Three big beds, a small campfire-like furnace in the middle of the room with sand and rocks surrounding the space to make sure that the floor didn't catch fire and what was even more shocking there was even a bathroom with a bathtub. " Who the hell called this place a hideout? It's even better than the inn we stayed in when we were going to perform in that official's house."2

The only time they stayed in a very luxurious inn was when they were invited to the town by a very prestigious family to showcase their skills but now they were actually living in this tree house, that luxurious inn looked a bit lacking. 

Even Li Hanjing was shocked, at most he thought that the hideout would be a cave settling deep in the forest but instead, here they were, in a cosy treehouse. 

" Humph, whose lover do you think prepared this?" said Xiao Hua as she flipped his hair behind his shoulders. " I am this perfect so, of course, the woman I like is nowhere less than perfect! Of course, she would prepare the most wonderful thing that no one can even think about!" 

Little Zimo and Li Hanjing exchanged a glance with each other before Li Hanjing nodded after getting Li Hanjing's permission Little Zimo went to the corner of the room and picked up a pillow that was resting on top of a single bed and then walked toward Xiao Hua before smacking him right across the face with a quick flick of his wrist. 

" What the? You little! How dare you hit me?" Xiao Hua who was hit out of nowhere was stunned as he looked at Little Zimo. " How dare you hit your big brother? Come here I will teach you a lesson here and now!" 

As he said that Xiao Hua reached his hands and pinched little Zimo's cheeks causing the latter to be flustered as he looked at him with a blush coating his cheeks. " I am not a kid anymore, brother Hua!" 

" Says the one who hit me with a pillow!" 

" You were asking for it?" 

  "What are you jealous of? Don't worry little Zimo, you will get a good wife too," said Xiao Hua with a sly smirk before smoothly adding. " But of course, she will never be as good as mine." 

Little Zimo thought that Xiao Hua finally gave up but little did he expect that he was not only attacked but even his future wife whose face he hasn't seen till now was also attacked by Xiao Hua's vicious tongue! 

" You…Brother Hua…I will not let this slide!" After shouting this, he rushed after Xiao Hua who laughed and ran to save himself from being attacked by Little Zimo. On the other hand, Li Hanjing simply stared at the two of them with a shake of his head, really so childish. 

He caressed his belly before stifling a yawn. " Looks like you are sleepy baby." 

" I think he is sleepy," said Yu Dong as she pressed her ear to Fang Chi's belly. Even though she could only hear the gurgles inside his belly but she liked to pretend that she could already hear the child in Fang Chi's belly. 

Fang Chi chuckled softly. " Just say that you want me to take a nap, there is no need for you to say it in such a roundabout way." 

"I would have said it if you listen to me without me saying anything in such a roundabout way," said Yu Dong as she sat up straight, which was a good thing since Grandma Fang together with the kids returned from the outdoor kitchen. " Oh, Dong Dong, is there something that Chi is not listening to?" 

" That's right, grandma Fang," Yu Dong ignored the slight shake of her husband and then tilted her head to look at Fang Chi's disgruntled expression. " I have asked him to take a nap but he isn't listening, don't you think after walking so much he should take a nap at least?" 

" Ah Chi, Dong Dong is right, you lie down and take a nap!" said Grandma Fang at once as she placed the bowl of egg drop soup on their bed along with the tray before she started nagging Fang Chi. " Yu Dong is saying this for your own benefit, why don't you listen to her? After all, you are no longer  the same as before, you have a child with you, so you should take better care of yourself, stop being stubborn like you used to when you were young and take a good nap!"

" Grandma I know!" Fang Chi was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and drive himself inside it. How embarrassing was this, he was already married and had a wife with a child on the way but he was being scolded like he was still a kid. 

Seeing his flustered expression neither Yu Dong nor Grandma Fang said anything, instead, they looked at each other before looking away to hide their smiles from Fang Chi. If they get caught by him then he will surely cry.

" All right, I won't say anything," said Grandma Fang before placing her hands on her waist. " I have cooked some egg drop soup for you, when your daddy was pregnant with you, he often used to drink egg drop soup and would fall asleep after eating a bowl of it, I guess you might like it too, so go ahead and have a sip. But take care it's still hot all right?"

Fang Chi looked at his grandmother before heaving a heavy sigh. She was still treating him as a child sure he like to drink egg drop soup when he was a little kid but surely there was no way this was going to work, he was an adult now his tastes have changed—-

" See, it still works!" Grandma Fang pointed at Fang Chi who was snoring peacefully.

Yu Dong: "….." hahaha.
