Chapter 549: Xiao Xue Is in a Bad Mood Today
Han Jing replied to them with absolute calmness, "Not curious."
The two of them slumped over the table, pretending to be dead.
None of them realized that in the next room, at some unknown point, a mysterious black figure had appeared. The figure walked to the bedside and sat down, looking tenderly at the child sleeping on the bed. After a long hesitation, the figure finally extended a hand to lightly touch Xiao Xue’s face.
The next morning, Han Jing and the others took Xiao Xue for a stroll on the street, but surprisingly, the little girl’s enthusiasm seemed unusually low today.
This left the three of them quite puzzled, asking her, "Xiao Xue, what’s wrong with you today?"
Ever since Xiao Xue could talk and walk, the little girl had always been full of energy. As Han Jing put it, this little girl was always as energetic as if she had an endless supply of chicken blood. No one knew where she got so much energy from, especially when it came to food and fun; no one could beat her excitement!
So, seeing Xiao Xue looking listless and even a bit preoccupied for the first time, the three of them were quite curious.
Xiao Xue looked at them with boredom and said something very provoking, "I’m not in a good mood today."
The three of them were speechless, trying hard not to laugh until it hurt. Who could tell them what a five-year-old girl, who only cared about eating and playing and was too lazy to learn anything, could possibly be upset about?
Xiao Xue was really not in a good mood today.
Last night, although she slept very soundly, she always felt like a stranger had touched her face, but because she was half-asleep, she didn’t know who it was. What’s even stranger is that even her little companions didn’t know. She went out... with ghost spirits in her small treasure trove. She always let one or two out to watch over her while she slept at night because Grandpa Ghost said it was safer that way. She’s a child, and it would be troublesome if a bad person took her away.
But frustratingly, even her little companions didn’t see who came, but they definitely told her that someone had been there. They were stunned by a strong light and couldn’t see anything, only a dark shadow.
Xiao Xue wanted to tell her mother about this, but strangely, she didn’t want to. She didn’t know why. So today, she wasn’t in a good mood and wasn’t very interested in anything.
Especially now, at this moment of frustration, the three adults were all trying to suppress their laughter to the point where their faces turned red. Humph, don’t think she didn’t see that!
Xiao Xue arrogantly tilted her little head, deciding to ignore them.
But poor Xiao Xue’s little disappointed temper not only didn’t evoke any sympathy from the three callous adults but rather heightened their excitement. They spent the day indulging in Yanjing City’s food, shopping, and a little more shopping, having an absolute blast. Han Jing and An Chuxue hadn’t gone shopping for many years, and in a place like Ghost Immortal Town, it was nowhere close to this!
They weren’t interested in rouge and powder, but clothes and jewelry caught their eyes, making them buy stuff all the way through, knowing they wouldn’t run out of money anytime soon.
Lan Ling was excited too; he never liked staying in that dreary Ghost Realm. Now that he finally got a chance to go out, he felt like buying a little of everything to take back! So... the three adults bought things like crazy, while the remaining child silently scorned them the whole morning. Xiao Xue’s mood didn’t improve until lunchtime.
However, when they met at the appointed place, the two entire lunch boxes filled with various candies brought by Qin Shutong instantly swept away the little girl’s gloominess.
