Chapter 780 Daddy's Here
After Xi Mo finished his call, he noticed the little girl puffing out her cheeks, resembling a pufferfish. He raised his hand to pat her head, but Zhouzhou suddenly dodged away.
She stomped her chubby foot in frustration. "Hmph! No one believes me! I'm definitely going to catch the big bad guy and show you all!"
With that, she walked over to the gully, continuing her investigation, determined to find some clues. Unfortunately, it seemed too much time had passed, and any trace of the aura had long dissipated; even her little compass couldn't pick up anything.
How frustrating!
Zhouzhou felt a bit despondent, smacking her forehead in defeat. She felt so useless.
Seeing this, Xi Mo approached her. Just as he was about to offer some words of comfort, Zhouzhou suddenly stood up with a flourish, hands on her chubby hips, declaring, "Uncle, I'm definitely going to catch the bad guy!"
Looking at her face, there was no trace of disappointment left. Perhaps she had been down for a moment, but now she was back to her usual spirited self.
Xi Mo couldn't help but chuckle softly. He realized he had underestimated Zhouzhou's resilience. She was quite capable.
Zhouzhou felt rejuvenated. Her formidable older sister was also very impressive, and with more experience than her, maybe she could indeed discover something.
With that thought, her anger melted away. Still, she made a note in her little notebook about their doubts. Hmph. She was quite vengeful.
Wen Jing arrived quickly, accompanied by Ye Lingfeng. When they got there, Zhouzhou had just finished her training and was about to go eat. Hearing footsteps, she suddenly froze.
Her little head whipped around, and upon seeing Ye Lingfeng, her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Daddy!"
Without hesitation, she sprinted towards him, wrapping her arms around his legs and bouncing up and down with joy. "Daddy! Daddy!"
The little girl's soft voice instantly melted Ye Lingfeng's heart. He reached down and pinched Zhouzhou's little belly, smiling, "Here I am."
"Hehehe." Zhouzhou looked up at him, hugging his leg tightly, grinning like a fool.
Ye Lingfeng couldn't help but smile.
However, when his gaze dropped, his smile instantly disappeared. Zhouzhou was covered in blood, her wounds pale as though soaked in water, and her hair was somewhat damp.
Ye Lingfeng's brow furrowed deeply. He bent down, picked up Zhouzhou, and examined her wounds. His initial worry was confirmed.
He pressed his lips tightly together, unfastened his clothes, wrapped Zhouzhou up, and asked, "Where's your room?"
Zhouzhou pointed in a direction.
Ye Lingfeng strode in that direction, with Wen Jing hurrying to keep up.@@@@
When Xi Mo saw this, he remained silent and did not follow, leaving the father and daughter alone for a while.
Zhouzhou's mouth dropped open in surprise, her brows furrowed thoughtfully. "Are there fish in the sea?"
"Of course, why do you ask?"
Zhouzhou grinned and said, "Holding my breath is boring. I just want something to do. I caught two fish just now, and Uncle said he'd give me extra food. If there are fish in the sea, I'll catch more to eat."
As she spoke, the little chubby girl couldn't help but wipe her mouth and lick her lips.
Wen Jing: "..."
This little glutton.
Her earlier concern evaporated instantly.
She couldn't help but smile at Zhouzhou, suddenly realizing that she couldn't treat Zhouzhou like other kids.
Otherwise, what normal child would be thrown into the water, not cry, but think about catching fish?
Wen Jing smiled, and her earlier sadness disappeared.
"Alright." She quickly finished applying the medicine and helped Zhouzhou get dressed.
Zhouzhou bounced off the bed, opened the door, and peeked out, smiling brightly when she saw the people standing at the door.
"Daddy!"
Ye Lingfeng looked over, smiling lightly, and extended his hand. "Let's go eat first."
"Mm-hmm!" Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, eagerly taking his hand and leading him to the dining hall.
She boasted to everyone she saw along the way, loudly declaring that this was her father.
Seeing their admiring gazes, the little chubby girl was immensely proud.
Her father was the best!
Entering the dining hall, Zhouzhou immediately spotted Xi Mo and waved energetically.
Ye Lingfeng also looked over.
Their eyes met.
Ye Lingfeng's lips curled into a cold smile as he spoke in a deep voice, "Do you wanna have a fight?"
