He wanted to get rid of this feeling, so he pretended to be eager to learn and took one of the swans, then took it apart.

"Why don't you teach me how to fold flowers? I'd love to learn a skill too," he said earnestly.

"The gaming industry is fast-paced. If I get fired in the future, at least I can earn money by folding napkins at hotels."

The girl's eyes darkened, but she raised her chin arrogantly.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, is this the Bai Weiran who boasted that he beat seven of my top-scoring college entrance exam takers? Is this all there is to him?!"

She took another napkin to teach, but halfway through the lesson, the dish was served, and no one paid any more attention to the napkin.

The king crab served at the premium buffet is pre-processed, with the top half of the shell removed and the crab cooked in the broth. You can easily pull out the entire crab leg, which is thicker than a finger, with chopsticks.

It's much easier than dealing with regular crabs.

As Mengmeng ate, she frowned, then suddenly leaned down and beckoned to Bai Weiran with her little finger. Bai Weiran, puzzled, followed suit and leaned down to listen to her whisper.

"...Bai Weiran, is this a real crab?"

...How deep was the shadow cast by the crab stick incident last time? Is there no trust left between people?

"...It's true, didn't you see the crabs?"

"Then why doesn't this crab have claws?"

Bai Weiran: …………

It turns out that ignorance was the cause of the trouble.

"This kind of crab is all legs, but no claws. Look, here's a picture of a crab."

I found a picture online at the scene, and that finally calmed things down.

They ordered too much food; about 70% of it was served. The little girl was already stuffed, slumped in her chair with her round little belly sticking out, still arguing like a drunkard.

"I'm not full, I can still eat, I want more beef and crab!"

"Yes, yes, you're not full. It's just a break. You can eat after you've rested. Don't rush."

Bai Weiran spent most of the first half of the meal cooking seafood and peeling crabs, barely touching his own food. Now that he saw Mengmeng couldn't eat anymore, he took on the responsibility of finishing the plate and slowly ate the dishes that were served.

Mengmeng slumped in the chair, her big eyes darting around as she curiously watched the passing customers. Some noticed her unusual appearance, but didn't pay much attention, glancing at her briefly before turning away. Many people couldn't help but smile at her because she was so pretty and cute.

She likes it here.

As Mengmeng thought about it, she gently patted her round belly with both hands.

The people here don't dislike her or discriminate against her. There are a lot of crabs here, and they are cooked in a particularly delicious way. The games here are very fun. Although they are not large-scale virtual reality games, the game levels are cleverly designed and the gameplay is constantly evolving. You can feel the designer's ingenuity.

She wanted many things, but there was one thing she wanted most—

She looked at Bai Weiran, her eyes deep and thoughtful.

Bai Weiran was just about to put a boiled peony shrimp into his mouth when he saw Mengmeng staring at him. He paused for a moment, then put the shrimp down from his mouth.

"What, you want to eat this shrimp?" It was the last peony shrimp on the plate. Peony shrimp were originally meant to be eaten raw, and Bai Weiran didn't like eating raw food either. He and Wu Ji shared the same taste, so they threw the raw peony shrimp into the hot pot to cook it.

Mengmeng didn't want to eat shrimp; she was very full, but she nodded.

Bai Weiran reached out his chopsticks to put them in her bowl, but she seized the opportunity and, before Bai Weiran could let go, leaned in and bit the chopsticks along with the shrimp meat.

Her silly behavior was commonplace, and Bai Weiran, who couldn't read minds, couldn't detect the difference between her and her usual behavior. He simply waited patiently for her to put down her chopsticks.

"Order more if you want more, no need to rush, you can have it all within the time limit," he explained, but the girl just lowered her eyelashes and focused on eating the shrimp.

After letting go, he slumped back into the chair.

"These shrimp are so delicious! Why did I have to eat such delicious shrimp? What if I can't eat them again?! *sobs*"

Bai Weiran: …………?

She describes emojis and actions herself, definitely a girl addicted to the internet.

"Bai Weiran, can you bring me here again in the future?"

"sure."

"What about a year from now? Five years from now? Ten years from now?"

Bai Weiran remained silent. He did not answer immediately, but slowly finished eating a skewer of cold yakitori.

"If we have the chance to meet again in five or ten years, I will definitely invite you."

After Bai Weiran said this, the scene fell silent for several minutes.

Their eyes met, and the girl's expression went from astonishment to pallor.

Bai Weiran felt that this matter needed to be clarified.

Mengmeng doesn't belong to this world. She has no identity and knows almost nothing about it. She can't stay at home like an unregistered resident, not going to school, having no friends, no relatives, just like a little canary.

Bai Weiran has no interest in raising canaries.

He felt sorry for the person being raised, and also for the person who raised them.

Even if there were problems in that family, Mengmeng still had other relatives there.

If her parents or her brother are not suitable, he can accompany her and help her find a suitable guardian.

Supporting someone's life is not an easy task. No matter how much you pamper her, the two are still strangers. Living under the same roof with a fake niece title is not legitimate and can only be a temporary measure. In the long run, it will not be good for either of them.

Bai Weiran has never wavered in his idea of ​​sending Yu Mengmeng back from the beginning until now.

I didn't mention it before, just because I noticed she wasn't in good condition.

Things are gradually getting better now, and Bai Weiran feels that it's time to be open and honest about this matter, so today is the day.

The white-haired girl remained slumped in her seated position, motionless, her eyelashes lowered, and she fell silent for a moment.

It seemed like she was feeling down after what they said.

Bai Weiran didn't try to persuade him any further; at this point, gentleness would only create unnecessary fantasies.

He quietly ate his raw ham and melon slices.

The waiter came to collect the empty plates and gave them a surprised look.

Did these brother and sister have a fight? Why aren't they saying anything?

The atmosphere seemed pretty good just now, wasn't this a sign of pampering?

Wait, are they siblings? They don't even look alike.

At first glance, they look like siblings, but the more you look, the more something seems off, though you can't quite put your finger on it.

Bai Weiran probably didn't expect that Mengmeng wasn't feeling down at this moment; she was deep in thought.

She remained very calm, using everything she had learned and acquired during this time to carefully consider a solution.

It can only be said that Bai Weiran was too naive, after all, he has never actually raised a child.

Even Mencius' mother knew to move three times to find the right learning environment for her child, which illustrates the importance of such an environment.

He kept Mengmeng at home and also placed Xia Yanle there, immersing them in each other's worlds day and night. Bai Weiran and Xia Yanle were both high-dimensional rational beings of the same level. Without needing to be verbally instructed, Mengmeng could see their ways of handling things and their logical thinking during discussions.

Mengmeng isn't stupid; in fact, she's quite clever.

She simply didn't have such an environment or role models to learn from before. Now that she's been put in this environment, she's suddenly starting to absorb everything like a sponge.

And reshape and reconstruct your own mindset and cognitive level.

Bai Weiran offered to take her home?

Oh, so what's the reason for sending it?

Bai Weiran felt that she had no identity, no friends, no family, and liked to rely on others, so it would be very difficult for her to survive in this world.

Conversely, as long as she can get an identity, make friends, establish herself in this world, and go to school properly, Bai Weiran will have nothing to say, right?

What's there to worry about if you don't have family?

Bai Weiran can be her family; she doesn't need any other family members.

She was determined to stay.

When it was time for the self-service, Bai Weiran got up to pay first, while Mengmeng sat in her seat and waited.

She looked at the two napkin flowers that had been folded in half and placed aside, forgotten by others, and smiled.

He took the two napkins, folded them back into two swans, and left his seat without a word.

When the waiter came to clear the table, I was surprised to find a pair of swan-shaped napkins facing each other, their beaks touching, looking very affectionate.

Xx

Brother Weiran really... I laughed so loudly.

Chapter 50 Xia Yanle's Reminder (3K views, please vote)

In the dead of night, Bai Weiran, a workaholic who had just finished his shift, was looking at his phone screen in a taxi.

The work group is still very lively. People on the game project like to play games and stay up late to party. Recently, two new interns joined the team, making it even more lively.

One of them was an intern from the art direction department, who was assigned by the art director to work with the concept artists in their group.

One of them was an internship that Bai Weiran specially arranged for Guoguo.

He felt that Guoguo's current work was more like that of a product manager, involving project scheduling and progress. In addition, she also had copywriting work, which made her very busy and stressed.

The problem is that their project doesn't have a product manager to manage it.

The guy who got angry with Dong Zhengyuan before kicked Dong Zhengyuan and went to South Goose in a glamorous way. The company directly downsized and didn't fill the vacancy.

Guoguo generously helped Bai Weiran out and took over the load.

Although he couldn't fill the positions with full-time employees, he could still hire interns, so Bai Weiran took advantage of the loophole and recruited interns.

Having an intern as Guoguo's assistant can effectively alleviate her work pressure.

Both interns were young girls, but their personalities were completely different. The art intern had the character "Xue" in her name, so she was nicknamed Xiaoxue. She was a delicate and fragile little white flower, and she spoke with an artistic temperament. She was like a princess and liked to wear Lolita dresses, which attracted the attention of many male colleagues in the project team.

The intern who followed Guoguo was nicknamed Ziwei. For a girl, her voice was deep and magnetic, reminiscent of a famous actress who starred in the movie "Painted Skin". She dressed plainly, was steady and composed, and didn't talk much. Bai Weiran was attracted to her for these qualities. At such a young age, she had the demeanor of a great leader.
