After Being Adopted by Five Nonhumans

42: It's Not Easy

Seeing Xiaoguyu's cute appearance, Rong Xiao and Yan Ji immediately put down their work, walked to the well to wash their hands under Xiaoguyu's watchful eyes, and then walked to the living room.

The three ghosts and one cub sat down at the table, finished their meal quickly, and then continued to work before the sun went down.

By the time the sun had fully set, the three brick walls of the room had been completed, leaving only the wooden beams to support the roof and the laying of tiles.

The three ghosts agreed to build a house together the next day. Yan Ji thought that it was getting late now, and it was time for Xiaoguyu to go to bed, and he was about to say goodbye to Xiaoguyu.

Xiaoguyu still felt a little bit reluctant, and said goodbye to his brother eagerly.

Seeing the child sticking to his face, Yan Ji couldn't bear it and left like this. He knelt down, rubbed Xiao Guyu's head, and smiled softly like a spring breeze: "Then brother, just stay for a while, wait until you fall asleep." Let's go."

Hearing this, Xiao Guyu smiled brightly, and his eyes turned into crescent moons: "Thank you brother."

The child's little hands holding his elder brother tightened even more, and put his face on Yan Ji's neck, like a little milk cat warmly lying on its master's shoulder and acting coquettishly.

Yan Ji picked up the child and took him to wash.

Not long after, after washing, Xiao Guyu lay down on the bed in his pajamas, his eyes were shining under the candlelight, like stars.

Yan Ji was stared at by Xiao Guyu with such eyes, the corners of his lips could not help but curl up. Seeing that Xiao Guyu was not sleepy, he opened the fairy tale book on the table: "Xiao Yutou, do you want my brother to tell you a bedtime story?"

Of course Xiaoguyu couldn't refuse the temptation of a bedtime story, not to mention it was told to him by his brother.

After getting a positive reply from the child, Yan Ji began to tell the story.

He told Xiaoguyu the story of "Snow White". His tone was soothing and full of sense of substitution. Xiaoguyu was soon immersed in the fairy tale kingdom described by Yan Ji, and his mood fluctuated with Snow White's experience. .

After the story was finished, Xiao Guyu also began to feel sleepy. He grabbed Yan Ji's palm with his two small hands, and pressed his soft face to Yan Ji's palm. The child's breathing gradually became slower. I slowly fell asleep in my palm.

Sleep peacefully and contentedly.

Yan Ji only felt that his heart melted with Xiao Guyu's actions at this moment. It was an unprecedented experience for him to be trusted so wholeheartedly by a child.

For a moment, he was a little reluctant to leave, and really wanted to just stay here in this posture and guard Xiaoguyu until dawn.

But...he soon realized that it was getting late, and if he didn't leave, it would be time for him to die again today.

It would be bad to scare Xiaoguyu at that time.

Thinking of this, Yan Ji carefully pulled his hand out of Xiao Guyu's arms, seeing that the child was not awakened by him, Yan Ji heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and walked into the living room through the wall.

Dong Pang and Rong Xiao were sitting at the table, seeing him coming out, they asked, "Did Little Taro fall asleep?"

Yan Ji nodded, and said goodbye to them, leaving hurriedly and quickly.
