Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

84

Chapter 84

The afternoon sun was warm and cozy, making one feel incredibly comfortable.

Lin Yi lay on the recliner, so relaxed that he didn't even want to move.

Beside him, Huo Mianmian continued playing with the two blades of grass until he heard some rustling sounds coming from the kitchen behind him.

Huo Mianmian: "..."

Huh?

Could there be a mouse?

He turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen.

However, he was too short, and even after tilting his little head up, he still couldn't see into the kitchen through the window.

Soon, the rustling sounds grew louder.

After all, wooden houses were not soundproof; even the slightest noise could be heard.

Huo Mianmian looked at the kitchen direction, somewhat bewildered, then turned to Lin Yi. "Dad, there seems to be a mouse in the kitchen."

Lin Yi was resting with his eyes closed but opened them upon hearing Huo Mianmian's words.

He listened carefully and indeed heard some movement in the kitchen.

But it was broad daylight; could there really be a mouse?

Lin Yi sat up straight on the recliner and said, "I'll go check."

Then he got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Huo Mianmian also followed, holding the two blades of grass, taking small steps.

Because he wanted to protect his dad!

Thinking this, Huo Mianmian waved the blades of grass in his hand as if they were weapons.

"Hahaha, Mianmian is my source of joy."

"Mianmian is so intimidating right now, especially with those blades of grass, scared me (dog emoji)."

"I was scared too!! (funny emoji)."

"Of course, our Mianmian is a little warrior."

"Hahaha, everyone is so cute."

Lin Yi followed the sound to the kitchen, only to find no mice but caught two people sneaking food instead.

In the kitchen, Zhuang Che was stealthily rummaging for something to eat, but since he had never been in this kitchen before, he couldn't find anything after searching for a while.

When he turned around and saw Lin Yi, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, stammering, "I-I-I... I didn't do anything."

Lin Yi: "..."

Huo Mianmian tilted his head to look at the fallen Zhuang Che, finding the adult quite strange.

Zhuang Che looked pitiful, with a big bump on his forehead, made redder and swollen by the brown ointment he had applied.

Most importantly, he looked extremely hungry, with his stomach growling occasionally.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

After realizing there were no mice, Lin Yi left with Huo Mianmian.

At this moment, Zhuang Che on the floor held back his tears, watching as Lin Yi was about to leave the kitchen. Finally, he couldn't help but call out, "Is there any food? I'm starving."

His eyes welled up with tears, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Lin Yi: "..."

He had never seen someone cry so easily.
