Gu Xiefeng was dumbfounded.
The safe was opened, but there was nothing inside.
What was going on? Did Bai's mother put away the things inside? Or did he open the wrong safe
Gu Xiefeng did not have much time to "commit the crime" here, so he quickly stood up and observed the situation - that's right, there was only one safe, he couldn't have opened the wrong one.
That's strange.
Could it be that Bai's mother discovered Bai Qingnian's behavior a few days ago, so she hid the things inside
This is not a good guess, if it is true, the situation will be very tricky.
Gu Xiefeng quickly walked around inside, looking for other places where he could hide something.
I came here tonight with the feeling that I must get the household registration booklet. This must be done.
But just as he was searching anxiously, he suddenly heard Xiao Yuanyuan's shouting from outside.
Gu Xiefeng closed the safe reflexively and walked out: "What's wrong?"
Fortunately, Gu Xiefeng came out in time, and Xiao Yuanyuan was just running back from the balcony, looking for him.
Xiao Yuanyuan threw herself directly onto Gu Xiefeng's legs.
Gu Xiefeng picked him up and asked, "What happened to Yuanyuan?"
Little Yuanyuan huddled on Gu Xiefeng's shoulder, trembling and sobbing: "... There is a snake, a black snake, Yuanyuan is scared..."
snake
Why is there a snake again
The light on the balcony was on, and the light was actually quite clear.
Bai's mother said, "There is no snake. How could there be a snake here?"
Father Bai also said: "Yuanyuan is mistaken. There are no snakes here. There won't be snakes in such cold weather."
But Xiao Yuanyuan insisted: "… Yes, yes, I saw it, all black."
"That's the mop strip, right here, you must have seen it wrong."
Gu Xiefeng walked closer holding the child and took a look, and saw that there was indeed a black mop on the balcony.
There is no debris around, so if there is a snake, it will be obvious at a glance.
He comforted Xiao Yuanyuan: "Don't be afraid, baby. There is no snake here, just a mop."
Xiao Yuanyuan hugged his neck and refused to speak.
He must have seen it right. The magic parrot had very good eyesight even at night. It was impossible for him to not be able to tell the difference between the black cloth strips of the mop and the snake.
Just now he clearly saw a black snake swimming out, exactly the same as the one he had seen at Gu's house before, with black eyes and spitting red tongue at him.
He was so scared that the snake must be coming to get him.
But no adult believed that he saw the snake.
Little Yuanyuan hugged his father's neck and said aggrievedly: "... Dad, I said you would protect Yuanyuan!"
Gu Xiefeng patted him on the back and said, "Dad will of course protect you, Yuanyuan, don't be afraid. If the snake appears again, Dad will step on it to death."
The sudden appearance of the black snake brought all of Xiao Yuanyuan’s happiness for the night to zero.
He lost interest in the Bai family and said, "... Yuanyuan, I want to go home, I want to go home."
Home is the safest place.
But Gu Xiefeng was shocked. How could that be possible? The household registration book had not been stolen yet!
If I leave now, all my efforts will be wasted!
The key point is that Xiao Yuanyuan is lying in his arms, and the eyes of Bai's father and mother are also focused on him. In this situation, he can't tell Bai Qingnian about this matter in time, and he can't even make eye contact.
After hearing what Xiao Yuanyuan said, Bai's father and mother still wanted to keep her.
"That's not a snake, Yuanyuan, it's just an ordinary mop. Grandma, can you please take it away? Then you won't be able to see it."
Bai Qingnian thought Gu Xiefeng had succeeded.
What a rare opportunity it was just now, and combined with the time that Gu Xiefeng went in, it was more than enough to get a household registration book.
How could he have thought that the safe would be empty? He just thought that Gu Xiefeng had succeeded successfully.
So Bai Qingnian was only concerned with comforting Xiao Yuanyuan and didn't even glance at Gu Xiefeng.
Bai Qingnian touched the baby's face and said, "That's really not a snake, Yuanyuan, don't be afraid."
But the little baby insisted on going home and not staying here anymore. He looked at Bai Qingnian aggrievedly: "... It's a snake. The snake wants to catch Yuanyuan... Yuanyuan is scared..."
Are you coming to catch him
What does it mean
Considering the little baby's true identity, Bai Qingnian thought there might be other reasons.
Bai's mother also heard it and asked in confusion: "… What kind of snake is this? Why did you come to catch Yuanyuan?"
Bai Qingnian quickly added: "It's just the kid's talk. I guess he watched some cartoons... Then let's go back tonight and come back tomorrow when we're free..."
The little baby immediately agreed: "Go back, go back, I want to go back!"
Bai's father and mother couldn't persuade him to stay, so they could only say regretfully: "Well, then you can go back first."
Gu Xiefeng was the only one holding the child, and he felt that this moment was too difficult.
He tried desperately to look at Bai Qingnian, and took every opportunity to wink at him - but Bai Qingnian's eyes were only on the child from beginning to end, and he didn't look at him.
I can’t leave! I haven’t received my household registration book yet!
Gu Xiefeng almost wanted to shout out loud—Where’s our tacit understanding! Where’s the tacit understanding we’ve had for so many years together! Look at me! Look at me!
But in the end, Bai Qingnian didn't even look at him.
With the child in his arms and his wife saying they wanted to leave, what reason could Gu Xiefeng find to stay
First of all, there is no reason. Secondly, if I really find a reason to stay, it might arouse Bai's mother's suspicion.
It’s so hard, so hard that it makes me cry.
They had no choice but to leave.
When he stepped out of the Bai family's gate, Gu Xiefeng still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, which was to quickly tell Bai Qingnian the truth. Now they hadn't gone far, so it wouldn't be too abrupt even if he found a reason to go back.
But Gu Xiefeng underestimated the concern that Mr. and Mrs. Bai had for their little baby.
In their eyes, this incident was a major event, because the little baby was scared because of a mop at home, and they felt bad.
So I followed them out the door, got into the elevator, went downstairs, and watched the three of them get into the car with my own eyes.
Gu Xiefeng felt that this was probably what happened when a person was unlucky, and all the bad luck came in this direction at once.
Bai Qingnian drove the car at night, because the little baby insisted on staying in Gu Xiefeng's arms and refused to sit in the baby chair.
There was no other way, Gu Xiefeng had to sit in the passenger seat holding the little baby, and after watching Bai Qingnian say to Bai's father and mother, "Then we'll leave first," he started the car without mercy.
Gu Xiefeng was in a very depressed mood at this time. After the car drove out of the gate of the community, he said: "... Actually, I didn't get your household registration book."
Bai Qingnian: "????"
Fortunately, the car was driving slowly and the brakes were not sudden, so Bai Qingnian stopped directly on the side of the road: "What did you say??!!"
Gu Xiefeng’s most tense and chaotic moment has passed. Now he is feeling decadent and giving up after seeing his fate clearly.
He said, "The safe is empty. There is nothing in it."
Bai Qingnian almost choked up: "How is this possible! There must be money in there! Is there no money left?!"
Gu Xiefeng nodded: "Forget about the money. There's not even a speck of dust in there. It's incredibly clean."
Bai Qingnian couldn't believe it, his eyes widened: "... How could this be... There must be something inside! Could it be that my mother knew that I opened it before, so she took everything away?"
This possibility cannot be ruled out, and it is the most likely one.
Gu Xiefeng asked: "If this is the case, what should we do?"
But Bai Qingnian doubted himself again: "But if that's the case, my mother wouldn't be so nice to us today... You know my mother's temper, she wouldn't pretend to be like this with us..."
That makes sense.
Gu Xiefeng thought about his mother-in-law's temper. Indeed, she knew that Bai Qingnian had ideas about the household registration booklet. She might not say anything to Bai Qingnian, but she would definitely not be polite to him.
"… It's really strange. How come the things inside disappeared…"
Bai Qingnian thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out the reason.
But they must take the household registration booklet away tonight.
They don't have much time left, so unless there are any unexpected events, there will be no problem if they proceed steadily.
But now an accident has happened, and it’s not an easy one to solve, so it feels very tricky.
Bai Qingnian was also a little impulsive under this unexpected shock.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go back. I'll tell my mom that I'm determined to marry you. We have to get the household registration booklet tonight."
"Will your mother kick us out?"
"It's possible." Bai Qingnian said, "But let's try it first. We don't have much extra time. We can't just slowly look for where my mother hid the household registration book."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qingnian started turning the steering wheel, preparing to go back.
But the little Yuanyuan who had been in Gu Xiefeng's arms finally sniffed and said, "... Yuanyuan, bring out the things inside..."
Gu Xiefeng and Bai Qingnian were both stunned: "Huh?"
Little Yuanyuan sniffed and, having originally clung tightly to Gu Xiefeng's arms, now sat up.
He was mainly frightened by the snake, and he just came to his senses now. When he heard the fathers talking about this, he said, "... Dad, you can come and get it..."
He opened his collar, revealing a small opening, and motioned for his father to reach in and get something.
Gu Xiefeng was skeptical, but he reached his hand in and actually touched something. He picked it up with his fingers and took a look - wow, it was actually a stack of hundred-dollar bills.
Gu Xiefeng was shocked, Bai Qingnian was shocked.
How was this done? Is there some magical space in the little guy's clothes
Little Yuanyuan looked at the shocked expressions of the fathers: "... Dad, don't move... Yuanyuan is dancing, and you are still sitting still..."
When Xiao Yuanyuan put his little hand on the safe, he moved everything in the safe away.
The magical space of the magic parrot.
Gu Xiefeng couldn't believe it and reached out to take it.
The more I took, the more frightened I became.
Three stacks of hundred-yuan bills, a few gold bars, Bai Qingnian's birth certificate, Bai's father's college diploma, Bai's mother's jade and gold jewelry... Finally, they wanted the household registration booklet.
The household registration booklet is real. Gu Xiefeng confirmed it several times and there was no mistake. It was this one.
But there were too many other things, and they were all so valuable that even if the house was robbed, the thieves might not move out all the stuff.
The two fathers were surprised, but more than that, they were frightened.
It would be dangerous to steal a household registration booklet, but there are other things inside. Even if Bai's mother opened it halfway, she might not notice that one household registration booklet was missing.
Now the entire safe is empty. If Bai’s mother opens it, she will probably call the police directly.
Gu Xiefeng and Bai Qingnian looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
They accepted the identity of the little baby, but never thought that the little baby would have these functions, let alone such uses.
This ability of the little baby means that he can do whatever he wants.
The family sat in the car and fell into silence.
The little baby looked at Bai Qingnian, then at Gu Xiefeng, still puzzled.
Isn't it good that he took out the household registration booklet? Why are the fathers silent
Gu Xiefeng thought about it for a while, and asked: "... Yuanyuan, is this how you did it?"
How did you do it
Just put your hand on it and you can move things to your own magic space.
Little Yuanyuan imitated the action at that time: "… Yuanyuan, put your hand on it."
As he spoke, he placed his hand on the wad of cash.
“… And then, I took it out.”
As soon as the words came out, the cash disappeared from their sight.
Normally, if something that existed suddenly disappeared, the visual effect would be very abrupt - but the baby parrot's magic was so magical that the things next to it moved slightly. The adults stared at it with their own eyes and were only slightly distracted, so they didn't think anything was wrong, and the whole picture looked extremely natural.
Gu Xiefeng took something from Xiao Yuanyuan's collar again and indeed found a wad of cash.
This was the first time they saw Xiaoyuanyuan use magic, apart from his usual transformation and flying around.
"Isn't it a heavy wish?"
It's still unbelievable.
The two of them have lived for so long, how could they accept this supernatural event happening right before their eyes so quickly
“It’s not heavy.”
These things were placed in his magic space, and he could not feel their weight.
"Besides taking things, what else can Yuanyuan do?"
They never thought the little guy would have such ability.
His appearance is too deceptive.
He looks like a cute little baby who needs his dad's care and protection. He is also spoiled and likes to act like a spoiled brat. Who would have thought that he is so capable.
Xiao Yuanyuan doesn't know what specific magic he knows. He only remembers what he knows when he needs to use it.
“… Yuanyuan, you can still fly!”
"Is it magic like this? Besides taking things, can the wish do anything else?"
Little Yuanyuan shook her head: "... Yuanyuan, I don't know either."
He really doesn't know, and he won't think of it until he needs it.
Gu Xiefeng looked at his innocent big eyes and blinked, but he didn't know where to start what he wanted to say.
He should tell their little darling that if he is outside, he must not use magic to take things at will - but in order to steal the household registration booklet, the tutoring they have received in the past few days is really not good, so he is too embarrassed to say it for the time being.
Forget it, let’s just leave it like this for now.
First finish what needs to be done quickly, and then put all these things back before Bai's mother finds out.
There were too many thrills and excitement that night. Bai Qingnian took a few deep breaths and calmed himself before continuing to drive.
After returning home, the family of three was almost calm.
Bai Qingnian and Gu Xiefeng accepted that the little baby used magic to empty the entire safe, and the little baby calmed down the fear of being frightened by the black snake.
Bai Qingnian also understood why the little baby was afraid of snakes.
The previous snake sighting happened at Gu’s house, but Gu Xiefeng didn’t take it too seriously. It had been several days since he returned, so he didn’t tell Bai Qingnian about it.
But there was indeed a black mop on the balcony tonight, and the adults just thought that Xiao Yuanyuan had seen it wrong.
The little baby was originally very confident that the picture he saw was absolutely correct, but after the adults talked too much, he gradually began to doubt himself and wondered if he had really seen it wrong.
In order to comfort him, Bai Qingnian sewed a small bag with gauze that night, filled it with realgar, and put it in his clothes pocket.
Bai Qingnian said that this was something that could drive away snakes. No snakes would dare to approach him when he carried it with him. Only then did Xiao Yuanyuan feel relieved and no longer afraid.
The little baby slept very well at night, sleeping quietly and obediently between the dads, and had sweet dreams.
But the two fathers hardly slept all night.
Gu Xiefeng, in particular, couldn't sleep when he thought about the little baby emptying the entire safe. He imagined what the scene would be like if Bai's mother found out and called the police.
The study room where the safe is placed is most likely equipped with cameras.
By then, they would see from the camera that he sneaked in and opened the safe - even though there was nothing inside when he opened it, but as the young master of the Gu family, he actually rummaged through the safe in his mother-in-law's house. How embarrassing it would be if others knew about it.
Bai's mother would definitely hate him even more, and if his own parents knew about it, they would probably scold him too.
It’s difficult, too difficult.
Bai Qingnian was similar to him and was also worried about this matter.
In fact, he cared more about what Bai's father and mother thought of him than Gu Xiefeng did.
On one side is his lover with whom he has been together for several years, and on the other side are the parents who raised him. He feels the most uncomfortable being caught in the middle. He always hopes that his parents can accept Gu Xiefeng as soon as possible so that they can be together happily.
When they woke up the next morning, one can imagine the condition of both of them, neither of them was in a good condition.
Bai Qingnian had dark circles under his eyes, and Gu Xiefeng had a very grumpy expression.
When Xiao Yuanyuan woke up and saw his father, he was scared and asked timidly: "... Dad, did you, did you have a fight?"
Gu Xiefeng yawned: "... No, the fathers didn't quarrel."
Father Gu's tone was a little perfunctory, and Baby was worried: "... You, can't quarrel! You have to, get married!"
The little darling can not only urge marriage, but also persuade reconciliation.
Gu Xiefeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The dads really didn't quarrel. Let's get married today and register Yuanyuan's household registration."
This should have been a very happy thing, but when they thought about the things in the safe, to be honest, Bai Qingnian and Gu Xiefeng were more worried - they had to finish these things quickly and put everything back against the clock.
After they checked all the necessary documents and information, they took the household registration book and asked Xiao Yuanyuan to hide the rest.
Try to finish it in the morning, go to Bai’s house for lunch at noon, and put the things back.
But when he arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, his expression did not seem to be relaxed.
The staff saw that both of them had serious expressions, were silently filling out the information, and were not talking to each other, so they felt something was wrong.
Carefully asked: "... You two, are you sure you want to register your marriage today?"
Gu Xiefeng finished writing first, then handed the pen to the staff. His tone to outsiders was always cold: "Please hurry up, we are in a hurry. Here are the photos, we brought them with us."
Bai Qingnian also finished writing quickly. He just remained silent and didn't say anything.
The staff looked at them and found that it was rare to see couples registering like this.
Looking at them, they also have a child, and we don’t know whose child it is. I guess they are not getting married sincerely for love.
The staff didn't dare to ask any more questions and focused on the process, quickly helping them get their documents processed.
When they got the real marriage certificate, they were still touched and happy, and they smiled at each other.
Who could have thought when they were together that they would end up like this for such a reason and under such chaotic circumstances.
But after a few seconds of being touched, it quickly proceeds to the next step.
These things in the safe are more dangerous every second you keep them around.
The little baby was held in Gu Xiefeng's arms the whole time. He was now a mobile safe, the most important thing, and must not be lost.
But it will be quick to apply for household registration again.
Gu Xiefeng had already informed us in advance, and the necessary documents were also prepared, so the process was completed quickly.
The marriage certificate and household registration booklet, the things that Xiao Yuanyuan has been looking forward to since the beginning, are now finally complete.
Neither Gu Xiefeng nor Bai Qingnian seem real.
They actually became a family. They hadn't proposed yet, and hadn't even thought about the wedding, but they were so bold as to register their marriage first.
Little Yuanyuan sat in the car, touching his father's marriage certificate and their household registration book, and exclaimed in admiration.
This is what the big crane can approve of. They are all red books and are really beautiful.
From now on he will be a little parrot with a home.
The big crane could no longer scare him with this.
Because the whole process ended earlier than planned, they decided to go back home first and put their marriage certificate and household registration book away.
Then go to Bai’s father and mother’s home.
What happened last night was just the right excuse for them to eat for free today, and then let Xiao Yuanyuan find an opportunity to put the things back.
But they met the three members of the Gong family who were about to go out for dinner at the door of their house.
When Xiao Yuanyuan saw Gong Wangheng, she shouted excitedly: "Brother Hengheng! My dad is getting…"
Gu Xiefeng covered his mouth and quickly carried him home.
Gu Xiefeng felt exhausted, but before he could catch his breath, the giant crane flew over again.
It flew straight into the house and landed on their coffee table.
Gu Xiefeng almost kicked the coffee table over.
Every time he watched the bird speak human language, he felt terrified.
The great crane had no liking for the two humans and spoke coldly, "I am here to inform you that you have done what you were supposed to do within the time limit. Now he is your child."
Little Yuanyuan cheered and jumped for joy: "... Yuanyuan now has a family!"
"Don't be too happy too soon. Even if you can stay here indefinitely, you must never reveal your identity. If others find out, I will still take you back."
Xiao Yuanyuan felt cold and pouted: "... I won't let others know!"
"You little fool, it has already been known by others."
These words not only scared Xiao Yuanyuan, but also scared the two parents.
"Who?! Who knows?!"
But the crane didn't say anything. He paused for a long time before saying, "I can't tell you who this person is. Anyway, no one else can know it."
Xiao Yuanyuan was completely frightened.
The words of the Great Crane made him feel terrified. He had never shown his abilities in front of others, so it was impossible for anyone to know.
The only one who knows is Brother Chenchen.
But Brother Chenchen is a magic parrot just like him, so how can that count
“… You, you tell Yuanyuan!”
"I can't tell you."
"… Why not?!"
"There is no reason. I can't do it."
Xiao Yuanyuan was so angry that he started speaking bird language in front of his father.
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"
—Then at least tell me how you were discovered! I hid very well! It’s impossible for anyone to find me!
The big crane just didn't say anything: "I promised the other party not to tell, anyway, you should be careful."
After saying that, he flapped his wings and flew away.
The author has something to say: Gu Xiefeng: Don’t be like this, give yourself some time to breathe before hanging yourself, right
