Zhizhi had a secret that couldn't be known by others.
She had a tail.
All this time, Zhizhi had hidden her tail and made an effort to appear like an ordinary child. But occasionally, when she wasn't paying attention, it would suddenly appear. She didn't want her brothers to discover her difference, so she insisted on handling things on her own.
Zhizhi tiptoed to lock the door, took off her shoes and Daoist robe, neatly folded her clothes and placed them on the chair beside her. Then she entered the bathroom to freshen up and changed into clean sleepwear before slipping into bed.
The bed was soft and comfortable, much more comfortable than the wooden plank she used to sleep on in the mountains. Zhizhi's tense body relaxed, and the restless emotions within her were soothed.
She had worried that the Lu family wouldn't be willing to take care of her before she came here. But now, it seemed that her brothers were even kinder to her than she had expected. Grandpa, uncles, and aunts were also good to her.
"Master, you don't need to worry about me anymore. I will live well in the Lu family." Zhizhi thought in her heart. Since the Lu family treated her well, she would also treat everyone well. With that in mind, she silently recited a prayer for blessings.
The gentle evening breeze wafted outside the window, with stars twinkling and the moon's radiant light flying into each room unnoticed, like a gentle breeze caressing everyone inside.
After reciting the prayer several times, Zhizhi fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, the room was already filled with daylight, and at that moment, a knocking sound came from outside the door.
"Zhizhi?"Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Zhizhi responded, "Yes."
"Are you awake? I'm coming in." Lu Zhibei pushed the door open and walked in.
"So, Zhizhi is a little lazy pig who can't even get out of bed when the sun is shining on her butt."Zhizhi, who had exhausted a lot of energy reciting blessings for the family last night, was confused: "???"
Without knowing anything, Lu Zhibei took a few steps and approached the bed, reaching out to pull Zhizhi, who was still a bit groggy, out of the covers.
"Little lazy pig Zhizhi, should Fourth Brother carry you out of bed?""!!!" Startled, Zhizhi's pupils contracted, and she quickly held onto the blanket tightly. "I can get up by myself."
"It's the same whether I carry you or not." Lu Zhibei thought he had great strength and had no problem carrying a child. He tried to pull the blanket.
"No." Zhizhi panicked and tightly clutched the blanket, blurting out in her own dialect. "Don't pull..."
Lu Zhibei didn't think too deeply about why Zhizhi resisted. Instead, he noticed her unique accent. "Hahaha, Zhizhi, what did you say?"
Frowning, Zhizhi said. "I told you not to pull my blanket."
"Don't pull? Don't pull..." Lu Zhibei found her accent quite cute and repeated after her. "Okay, okay, big brother won't pull. But don't stay in bed too long."
It was rare for him to wake up early, and he couldn't waste such a good time.
Zhizhi pouted and glared at the closed door. Why did something always go wrong whenever she encountered Fourth Brother? It was so annoying.
She sighed, slumping her shoulders, and then touched her buttocks. Fortunately, her tail hadn't appeared; otherwise, Fourth Brother would discover her secret.
Zhizhi changed into her clothes, neatly folded the bedding, freshened up, and walked downstairs.
It was almost ten o'clock, and the sun was shining brightly. The sunlight slanted through the clean and bright French windows, making the entire living room bright.
