"Don't scare him!" Chu Xia rolled her eyes at Nie Hanqiu, then reached out and patted the little zombie on the shoulder, comforting him and saying: "Good boy, don't cry, you... ahem... your dad is talking nonsense, mother!" I will leave you behind, so stop crying."
"Really??" The little zombie opened his big round eyes and looked at Chu Xia pitifully.
"Really." Chu Xia nodded.
Zong Yu and Nie Hanqiu were momentarily speechless.
On the bus back to the city, Chu Xia sat in a row with the little zombie, and Zong Yu and Nie Hanqiu sat behind them.
The other people sitting around them kept looking back at the little zombie sitting next to Chu Xia.
After a long while, someone finally couldn't help but ask: "Little girl, is this... your son or your brother??"
"Uh... he's my son..." Chu Xia was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiao Xuan beside her, and replied somewhat uncomfortably.
"Little girl, you have such a big son at such a young age?!" The person who asked the question looked at her in disbelief.
"Haha... Actually, I'm already over thirty. I'm not young anymore..." Chu Xia gritted her teeth, laughed dryly, and replied without conscience.
"Oh, little girl, you are taking good care of yourself, aren't you?" An aunt sitting on their left looked at Chu Xia in surprise and shouted, "Look at your little face. Yes, at first I thought you were just a college student who just entered college."
"Haha..." Chu Xia really didn't know what to say, so she could only laugh.
"Little girl, why is your son dressed like this? Is there any activity at school??" The aunt looked at the little zombie again and said, "Wow, this kid is so handsome, and his eyes are big and beautiful." The eyes are round and the eyelashes are so long. It would be great if my grandson could be half as big as his eyes.
"Uh... that... yes, this... isn't it almost Halloween? The school requires children to wear Halloween costumes..." Chu Xia laughed for a long time and finally came up with a reason.
"Oh, that's true. There are so many activities in schools now, and all they do is torment the parents all day long." Several adults and aunties around him kept nodding in agreement.
Zong Yu leaned down slightly and whispered into Chu Xia's ear: "I say, Xiao Xia Xia, you are really good at making excuses. Halloween is the last day of October. It's almost December now. Halloween is early." pass."
"Stop talking nonsense and shut up!" Chu Xia turned around and glared at Zong Yu fiercely.
Then he turned back, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and felt happy in his heart. Fortunately, this early in the morning, all the adults were taking the bus to buy groceries. If there were other young people on the bus, Maybe he will expose his own words.
"Mom, what is Halloween??" The little zombie who had been sitting quietly next to Chu Xia, listening to their conversation, suddenly asked Chu Xia.
"Well... Halloween is..." Chu Xia thought for a while and told him everything she knew about Halloween. The little zombie sat next to her and listened with interest the whole time.
Nie Hanqiu sat behind Chu Xia and looked at her gentle face as she spoke to the little zombie. She didn't know why, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
