Holding her boyfriend's hand, Li Mo went up to the second floor and headed straight for the small room at the end.
He paused for a moment at the door, then tiptoed and pushed open the door to the small room.
Yin Xiu thought he would see Ya Ya playing inside, but when he pushed open the door, he saw a black, furry monster lying there sleeping soundly.
The room's adorable decorations were completely at odds with the dark monster; it looked more like a monster had broken in, eaten a child, and was sleeping than a room meant for a little monster.
Yin Xiu peeked out and saw for the first time that Ya Ya slept like this at home.
According to Lady Night, they take longer to become monsters. Lady Night's younger brother, who also became a monster at a relatively young age, is more adapted to the monster's body.
They have been monsters for a longer period of time, and they all believe themselves to be monsters, and are more accustomed to walking in monster bodies.
Perhaps it was because Yin Xiu liked Ya Ya's cute little girl appearance that Ya Ya mostly acted like a little girl in front of Yin Xiu, but she didn't care when she was at his home.
"He's sleeping, after all," Li Mo muttered to himself, then led Yin Xiu into the room.
Upstairs, just like downstairs, fairy tale books and cookies were scattered all over the playmat. Apart from the dark monster lying there, it was practically a normal room for a child.
It seems that the cat mom is also trying her best to create a space for Ya Ya that a human child should have.
"Her mother is like a kitten, it's inconvenient to clean up. Last time she came, I was the one who cleaned up for her." Li Mo muttered to Yin Xiu in a low voice, it was hard to tell whether she was complaining or explaining, as she picked up the books from the ground.
"Then how does her mother make these little cakes?" Yin Xiu became even more curious. He had thought that cats could turn back into humans, just like the Night Goddess.
"You'll see when you go downstairs in a bit." Li Mo nodded, then continued picking up the book.
Yin Xiu also bent down to tidy up his things on the play mat, but because he was unfamiliar with the environment, he squatted down and tidied up, and stepped on a small section of the monster's tail that was sticking out.
Ya Ya bared her teeth and jumped up in a flash.
I had just woken up and was still a little dazed. Before I could even see who it was, it was already emitting a huge threatening voice.
As her blurry eyes gradually made out the person standing in front of her, her eyes widened and became clear.
Seeing a dark figure appear here is one thing, but why is my brother here?!
Her fur slowly drooped down, gradually becoming docile. She walked over and rubbed her huge head against Yin Xiu, making a cute and obedient sound. Then she happily hopped into the small room next door and soon came running out in a cute human form.
"Brother! Why did you come to find me?!" Ya Ya buried her head in Yin Xiu's arms, snuggling against him affectionately.
Heiqiqi actually brought his brother today! I'll just like Heiqiqi for a second!
"I came here especially to see you." Yin Xiu picked up Ya Ya and stroked her hair.
Ya Ya enjoyed her brother's touch for a while, then belatedly asked, "How did you get here?"
Although this place is a strange resting place, it can also be considered a dungeon space, only without restrictions. She remembered that Yin Xiu should have returned to the town after the last dungeon ended.
"I'll go downstairs and tell you slowly." Yin Xiu instructed Li Mo to pack up the rest of the things, and then carried Ya Ya downstairs.
Li Mo looked at Ya Ya in Yin Xiu's arms with a resentful gaze. Not only did her boyfriend hold her the whole time, but she also had to pack her things herself!
Kids are so cute! He should study what kids look like when he has time! He also wants his boyfriend to hug him!
The three of them went downstairs, and Yin Xiu heard a soft rustling sound coming from the kitchen. He put Ya Ya on a stool and then quietly peeked into the kitchen doorway.
Then I saw a black cat with gloved paws, pounding the dough with its cat fists incessantly, fiercely and violently.
After kneading the dough, it was pushed into the bowl, and the plastic wrap was torn off and covered. Then, like a normal kitten, it bit off the paw pads and licked its paws casually.
Yin Xiu seemed to be deep in thought. It turned out that the cat was skilled enough to actually make small pancakes.
He quietly returned to the living room, where Ya Ya was sitting on a stool, swinging her legs and munching on the last piece of cookie she had left. She stared at Yin Xiu and said, "Mommy is making you some fresh cookies. Brother can eat them in a little while!"
"Okay." Yin Xiu nodded and sat down in the chair, beginning to look around the room. This place was quiet and peaceful, with only Ya Ya and her mother living there; it was indeed a good place.
If given the opportunity in the future, he would like to spend the rest of his life in such a quiet place.
Thinking it over, Yin Xiu turned his head to look at Li Mo beside him. Of course, he had to bring this person along.
Away from strife and noise, in a secluded and quiet place, to spend the rest of one's life with loved ones and grow old together – this is probably the future most people hope for.
Unfortunately, he will grow old one day, but Li Mo will not. Perhaps in his old age, Li Mo will have to push him around.
Yin Xiu's thoughts drifted, his gaze fixed on Li Mo.
Since Li Mo was looking at him, he naturally had to look back at her.
So Ya Ya, sitting opposite, looked at Li Mo and then at Yin Xiu with a puzzled look. Why were these two staring at each other? They didn't take her with them. She was angry!
She quickly scrambled up from the chair, went around the small table, and plopped down in Yin Xiu's lap, refusing to let her brother have some alone time with her in the dark in front of her!
Noticing the extra bundle in his arms, Yin Xiu looked away and patted Ya Ya's head.
Ya Ya happily swung her legs, leaning against Yin Xiu's chest and enjoying her brother's touch, while Li Mo's gaze was resentful.
With a hint of resentment, he suddenly remembered something, stared at Ya Ya seriously, and said, "I'm my boyfriend's boyfriend now!"
"Huh?" Ya Ya's little brain didn't quite catch on for a moment.
"I'm my boyfriend's! My boyfriend!" Li Mo repeated earnestly.
Ya Ya's eyes widened. "Huh?"
She still didn't understand.
Li Mo immediately switched to a simple and easy-to-understand way of saying, "I have become the most important person in my boyfriend's heart."
Ya Ya's pupils dilated in shock. She looked at Yin Xiu, then at the dark figure, and pouted pitifully, "I'm an important person to my brother too!"
Li Mo replied sincerely, "But I am the most important."
"No, I'm the most, most, most important one, you dark thing!"
"Anyway, I am the most, most, most important person, and my boyfriend loves me the most."
Ya Ya was furious and helpless. She stretched out her little fists in Yin Xiu's arms and tried to swing them at Li Mo, attempting to teach this ungrateful black-faced guy a lesson.
Li Mo didn't try to dodge, since it didn't hurt anyway.
Ya Ya quickly held back her tears and tried to shrink into Yin Xiu's arms, looking completely aggrieved.
Yin Xiu immediately reached out and patted Ya Ya's head, "You are also an important person in your brother's heart."
Ya Ya was finally satisfied. Her brother still loved her. As long as she cried, Hei Qiqi's status didn't matter!
