Chapter 217 The Master of Dreams (18)

As a result, Mumu seemed to have a mind-reading ability, took the plate, and said frankly:

"My palms have calluses."

Feng Yuan curiously went over to take a look, and sure enough, Mu Mu's hands didn't look like those of a seven-year-old child; they looked more like those of an old woman, indicating that she had done a lot of work.

Feng Yuan pursed her lips, suddenly realizing that her parents' decision to adopt Mu Mu wasn't such a bad thing after all. The child was too thin and should eat more. Besides, what kind of housework could a child this age do? At her age, she was still drawing on the walls at home with crayons and getting scolded.

"Are you in elementary school yet?"

Feng Yuan asked while taking a bite of his sandwich.

Mumu shook her head:

"After this summer vacation, I'll be starting first grade."

Feng Yuan started thinking, maybe she should send Mu Mu to a primary school close to her university, since she's a day student anyway, and they rented a place near the university. Her parents…

Sigh, working a 9-to-5 job every day and constantly traveling for work, even though the salary is good, there's simply no time to take care of a child. She stayed home for two months during the summer vacation and only saw her parents five times in total, which is outrageous!

So, here's another question: why did her parents adopt a younger sister for her? It couldn't be because they were worried she'd be too bored staying home alone, could it?

……

Ningbao has been wandering outside for three whole days. The food and water she brought with her were used up on the first day, and she has been begging for the next two days.

Fortunately, although there are many scammers in this world and everyone is very vigilant, it's still difficult to fake one's young age. Besides, Ningbao wasn't begging for money, but for food and water, so a considerable number of kind-hearted people were willing to buy her things like biscuits, sausages, and candy.

Xiao Ningbao is also very clever. If she begs in the same place every day, the police will definitely find out and contact her parents. So she always begs in different places every day.

When she goes to sleep, if there's a park, she'll lie on a park bench; if there isn't a park, she'll just find a corner to curl up in for the night, successfully transforming herself from a clean dumpling into a dirty one.

Her thin little blanket was obviously not enough to keep out the night's chill; after all, a thicker blanket wouldn't fit in her schoolbag. But it didn't matter, she had Mengmeng. As a light-element bat, Mengmeng could easily emit light and heat.

Moreover, the two little furry creatures are very warm to hold, and Ningbao is naturally prone to getting hot, so she slept outside for three days without catching a cold.

"Ningbao, who exactly are you looking for?"

The equally dirty little white cake lay on Ningbao's head, his stomach already rumbling. Eating only cookies and bread every day wasn't a good idea; it couldn't provide enough nutrition for the growing cub.

"Looking for Mumu."

Ning Bao tilted her head, and said somewhat uncertainly:

"Qingqing is fine too."

Clearly, Ningbao, who is in the second layer of the dream, no longer remembers that Qingqing and Mumu are essentially the same person. She is just relying on her cub instincts to try to find the person she cherishes most.

"Where are we supposed to look for it?"

Mengmeng was also a little listless. She was just a little cub, and maintaining her skills for the entire night was really too much for her.

"have no idea."

Ning Bao shook her head blankly. She was just going by her gut feeling right now, but she trusted her instincts.

……

"Do you want to draw?"

Feng Yuan pulled out a complete set of painting tools and handed them to Mu Mu:

"Or maybe play with dolls? We also have building blocks."

She rummaged through the large box under her bed and pulled out all the treasures she had kept from her childhood.

"Can I read a book?"

Mumu was still sitting upright, with her hands above her knees.

"Oh? Of course, feel free to look around."

Feng Yuan pointed proudly to her huge bookshelf, which held all the books she had bought from elementary school to university.

Sigh, some of the books weren't even unpacked. She didn't think it was her fault; after all, there was always a reading list at the beginning of each semester, so of course she bought everything at once. As for whether she'd read them later…

Hmm, good question.

"Perfect, it's not a waste if you read all these books."

"I will cherish it."

Mumu made this promise very seriously.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Feng Yuan waved her hand. Anyway, she wouldn't read them. If it weren't for Mu Mu, these books would be sold as waste in a decade or so, so it didn't matter.

"Well, look, I'm playing on my phone."

Once, not knowing what to say, Feng Yuan awkwardly rubbed his nose.

"Okay, thank you, sister."

Mumu nodded seriously, picked up a thick world classic, and sat down at her desk to read it.

Feng Yuan sprawled on the bed as usual and started playing games, but today he couldn't concentrate and would keep glancing at Mu Mu while playing.

Mumu was reading so intently, while I was playing games in bed. It just felt a little inappropriate. As a good older sister, shouldn't she also pick up a book and read something?

A flawless version after careful inspection!

……

"Ningbao, are you really sure we're on the right track?"

Mengmeng felt completely drained. After two nights of using her skills, the child couldn't take it anymore. If this continued, either Mengmeng would die from exhaustion, or Ningbao would freeze to death.

"It should be correct."

Ningbao is now a complete mess, but with the spirit of never turning back even after hitting a wall, she is determined not to give up.

Bai Gao praised Ning Bao's spirit, then covered her own flat, hungry belly.

Waaah~ Begging for food is getting harder and harder.

"Ding-dong~"

Feng Yuan finally picked up the book, but after turning only three pages, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep, covering her face with the open book she had just taken out.

When Mumu heard the doorbell ring, she quickly stood up to open the door.

Outside, instead of the familiar scenery of Feng Yuan's neighborhood, there was only a vast expanse of white, and a dirty little child was trying to press the doorbell on tiptoe.

"Ningbao, are you sure?"

"Isn't it inappropriate to bother other people?"

The two little cubs talked amongst themselves, both feeling uneasy about Ningbao's behavior.

"Ningbao is definitely not mistaken; this is Ningbao's home, there's no doubt about it!"

Ningbao clenched her little fist, both to show her approval and to encourage herself.

"Who is it?"

Mumu opened the door, and as she looked down, she met Ningbao's bright, sparkling eyes, which were full of joy.

"Mommy! Ningbao has finally found you!"

Being suddenly called "Mom" by a child who is only two years younger than oneself can leave even someone as precocious as Mumu stunned on the spot.

Let me explain why I've only been updating once a day lately. It's because I'm writing the stories of Shen Yuan and Shen Ning's previous lives. Ah, I've written several versions already, but they never get approved. I took leave last Saturday and Sunday, actually because I wrote the second version, but it still didn't get approved, so I'm currently writing the third version.

Because I think the previous lives are quite important, and they are closely related to the main storyline, including the conflicts of interest, love and hate, and the causes of everything.

Sigh, my current idea is to write Shen Yuan and Shen Ning in two separate books. One book with two storylines isn't quite right; the older sister's storyline simply can't be developed, but unfortunately, the main plot's intricate scheme was orchestrated by the older sister, and without writing about her, many things can't be clearly explained.

The current story, tentatively titled "Ning Bao's Story," is supposed to be a farming-themed quick transmigration story. As you've all seen before, Xingzhi is essentially a farming system, and I genuinely prefer slower-paced things. The chubby baby, with a small shovel and bucket, farms like in a game, catches fish, occasionally snatches a butterfly, and enjoys the mountains and water—I think that kind of life is wonderful.

But I can only say it's tentative, because I don't know what will happen when I finally get a visa. _(:з」∠)_
