Mu Le finished three test papers before he began to realize something was wrong.
She put down the pen in her hand, put her hands behind her back, and said in a mature tone, "Yuanyuan."
Gu Mingyuan was looking at the test paper she had written earlier.
Hearing her voice, he stopped and looked up at the little girl in front of him.
Mu Le cleared his throat and said solemnly: "You have to keep your word."
Gu Mingyuan: “Hmm?”
"You just said it." Mu Le thought for a moment, "Show me your bow legs later."
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
The scene of a child saying this seriously is so adorable.
He wanted to laugh a little, but Mu Le was very serious, so Gu Mingyuan had to hold it back.
He immediately took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet for information about bow legs to show to Mu Le.
Mu Le frowned after taking a look and said doubtfully, "Cross your legs. Will it turn out like this?"
"It's possible." Gu Mingyuan said.
This kind of scientist doesn't like to speak too affirmatively.
This realization automatically emerged in Mu Le's mind.
She didn't find it strange at all. Instead, she nodded and said seriously, "I understand. Yuanyuan can't sit cross-legged either."
Before Gu Mingyuan could speak, Mu Le continued, "But even if you have bow legs, I will still like you."
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
The child's sweet words were too sudden.
He couldn't help but chuckle, stretched out his index finger and poked Mu Le's soft little face with his fingertip, and said in a gentle voice: "Why do you like me?"
"Eh." Mu Le tilted his head to look at him, "Why?"
She seemed unable to understand such a question.
This child looks innocent and cute, and his likes and dislikes are very pure.
No one would dislike a child like this - as long as she behaves well and doesn't cause any trouble.
Gu Mingyuan suddenly remembered the things she had burned.
… Well, even if she got into trouble, she would probably be forgiven quickly.
Gu Mingyuan didn't think too much about it.
The things you have to think about when you are working are deep enough, but in daily life, just think about things more superficially.
Otherwise it would be too tiring.
Mu Le finished a few test papers, and it was time for dinner.
Gu Mingyuan got up and went to the kitchen to heat up the rice paste.
In the blink of an eye, she has become seven or eight years old, and may soon become another age.
He had to prepare some food for the older kids.
Gu Mingyuan prepared the rice porridge, and then said to Mu Le while putting on his coat: "Be careful at home and don't play with fire... I'm going out to buy some food."
Mu Le's eyes lit up: "Go buy some food!"
She really can't hide anything on her mind.
It's almost as if "I want to go with you" is written on her face.
Gu Mingyuan looked at her tail swaying wildly behind her, smiled maliciously, and said to her: "Can you hide your tail and wings?"
Mu Le's tail suddenly froze.
"... If not." He said in a gentle tone, which was very cruel to Mu Le, "You can't go out together."
Mule: qaq.
Her tail drooped and her wings also dropped down in a very dejected manner, and the expression "I'm disappointed" was written all over her body.
Gu Mingyuan was silent for a few seconds, then asked her, "Do you want to eat anything?"
Mule's tail curled up.
… It’s really easy to understand children’s minds.
He felt like laughing again.
When I was alone before, I really didn’t know how long it would take for me to laugh.
Mule flapped his wings and flew up. As he flew around the room, he thought, "I want to eat meat! Meat from many different animals!"
Gu Mingyuan: "Okay."
"Also, there are sweet ones." Mu Le gestured, "Sweet and soft."
Gu Mingyuan: "Cream cake?"
Mu Le thought seriously for a few seconds: "...It seems so!"
She herself wasn't very sure either. It seemed like she was relying on her vague memory, speaking a lot of things with strokes and guesswork.
Gu Mingyuan wrote them down one by one, and before leaving, reminded her to be careful and not to play with fire.
"I know, I know." Mu Le floated behind him, pushing his shoulder with her small hand, "Yuan Yuan is so nagging."
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
It was the first time that someone called him nagging.
Gu Mingyuan shook his head and turned away.
…
The little girl wanted so many things that even with Gu Mingyuan's abnormally strong memory, he still had to think while shopping. It took him a long time to buy everything she wanted.
There are some things that she herself can't explain clearly, she doesn't even know what yogurt and cheese are.
Gu Mingyuan had no choice but to buy both.
It was completely dark when I got home.
He thought that when he got home, a little girl would flutter her wings to greet him at the door, with a round face that was cute and intimate.
Then he saw a little girl who seemed to be about thirteen or fourteen years old.
The little girl's hair was hanging wet, with a towel around her neck. She was still wearing his new shirt. Her legs had become thinner and longer, and she was wearing a pair of shorts... It seemed that he cut and spliced two pairs of shorts that he had sold to the eight-year-old kid before.
… Did a lot happen in just two hours
He stared in amazement at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old dragon girl in front of him.
The dragon horns on the girl's head also became longer and slender, making her look even more heroic than before.
Her wings were gone, leaving only a large tail swaying lazily behind her and extending forward along her waist.
Mu Le was holding the towel in both hands and wiping his hair.
She pointed her tail at the big bag in Gu Mingyuan's hand, with a lazy smile on her face: "What did you buy?"
Gu Mingyuan: "... You are Lele, right?"
"Yeah." Mu Le blinked, and the tip of his tail swung in front of his eyes again, "Isn't it obvious?"
Gu Mingyuan took a deep breath.
Let’s talk about everything later. He had to change his shoes first, go in, and put away the things that the little kid wanted.
When he walked inside, Mu Le followed him with his tail wagging, sticking his head out from the left and then from the right, extremely curious.
"… These are all what you asked for before." Gu Mingyuan said, "Do you remember?"
"I remember!" Mu Le looked at Gu Mingyuan strangely, "Why don't I remember what I said?"
Not only has she grown taller, but she also speaks more clearly and fluently than before.
Gu Mingyuan: "Have you recovered your memory?"
Mu Le blinked: "What memory?"
Gu Mingyuan: "Why did you come to Earth?"
"Because of you." Mu Le came over and gently pushed Gu Mingyuan's arm, "Don't keep me in suspense. Show me what you bought."
Gu Mingyuan frowned and pressed the back of Mu Le's hand.
"Because of me?" he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
Mu Le bit his lip and pretended to be pitiful: "You, you must be so... to the bottom of it?"
The little girl was fair and tender, and a blush appeared on her face when she was anxious. She bit her lips and looked aggrieved, as if she was about to cry.
Gu Mingyuan is a little bit bad at dealing with this kind of situation.
He had never dealt with a woman before, let alone a little girl who was so unreasonable and had some acting skills.
While he wasn't paying attention, Mu Le went over and opened the bag of snacks.
She was almost fainting from hunger.
This time the body's changes are not "growth", but at a certain moment, it will suddenly reach a certain age.
As Mu Le recovered more and more memories, he gradually understood why he had become like this.
She remembered a bathing incident, so she rushed to the bathroom to take a bath before Gu Mingyuan came back.
I also roughly calculated that it might take until tomorrow afternoon, or even the same time in the evening, before I could return to a real, adult state.
I can’t tell Gu Mingyuan about this now.
He is old-fashioned and has strong moral values. If you say that you are his wife at this time, he will definitely not be able to accept it.
Obviously, Gu Mingyuan didn’t think in that direction at all.
Gu Mingyuan was stunned for just a moment, and Mu Le had already taken a big bag from right under his nose and took out a cheese stick from it.
The cheese sticks are also labeled with words like "Can be eaten by children over three years old."
Gu Mingyuan rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "So hungry?"
Mu Le nodded vigorously: "A dragon's body really consumes energy easily. I almost fainted from hunger after taking a bath..."
Gu Mingyuan paused and slowly repeated, "Dragon...'s body?"
Oh, so he didn't know yet
Mu Le blinked, and there was no way to hide it from him, so he honestly admitted: "Yes. I am a dragon."
She stretched her tail from behind and wrapped it around Gu Mingyuan's wrist: "Can't you see it?"
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
He looked down at the tail on his wrist.
It looked like a reptile's tail, with dragon scales covering the upper part.
He reached out and gently stroked the dragon scales, and suddenly felt very familiar.
Mu Le only felt an itch on his tail, as if someone grabbed his hand, gently stroked the back of his hand, and then touched his arm...
It's so itchy.
It felt a bit strange if I touched it further.
Mu Le finally understood why Gu Mingyuan had not allowed her to touch his tail before.
She quickly retracted her tail, unwrapped a new cheese stick, and stuffed it into Gu Mingyuan's mouth.
Gu Mingyuan: “…”
"It's delicious." Mu Le smacked his lips with the cheese stick in his mouth, "Yuanyuan, try it too."
Gu Mingyuan reached out, pinched the end of the stick, and took out the cheese stick.
He had never eaten this kind of thing before. It looked like something for children to eat, and it tasted like milk in his mouth.
Gu Mingyuan looked at the little girl beside him.
Mu Le has shifted his attention to other snacks.
She held a stick in her mouth, looked like a bad girl, wagging her lizard-like tail, humming a tuneless song while searching for something she liked...
…it’s cute.
Gu Mingyuan looked at her wagging tail.
I always feel like touching it again.
The author has something to say: Mu Le: Things change, and it’s not my turn to let you touch my tail! Hahahaha!
Gu Mingyuan: …
