Chapter 21

  When she woke up in the morning, Youyou smelled a strong meaty smell on her pillow, with several cold and hard rice grains stuck to it. She frowned and took another deep sniff at the pillow.

  Is it the taste of zongzi? How did the pillow get stained with the savory smell of zongzi?

  It's strange, she remembered that she brushed her teeth before going to bed last night, and besides, she didn't even eat zongzi yesterday!

  That's right. She suddenly remembered that last night, a little kid ran into her room and said he wanted to eat zongzi. And also in the second half of the night, she felt that there was an extra child on her bed, with a mouthful of meat fragrance. At that time, she thought she was just drowsy...

  This kid is really something, in the middle of the night he not only eats zongzi but also runs to someone else's bed to sleep.

  She thought irritably, also a bit angry, but not to the extent of being furious. After putting the pillow in the washing machine, she walked out and saw her dad and Leizi already having breakfast. Leizi was excitedly telling his dad about his new friend, Alan.

  Dad was eating fried dough sticks when he was moved by his son's rare enthusiasm. He gently patted his son's head and asked, "What did Ah Lian play with you?"

  "We played Flying Chess, and Arlene was so fierce, she won in one go."

  "Is that so? Arin must be a very clever little girl." Dad speculated that Arin might be the name of the girl. However, Leizi raised his questioning head and asked: "Dad, how do you know she's a girl?"

  "Because... because A Lian sounds like a girl's name. So, is A Lian a boy or a girl?"

  Dad lovingly asked his son, but Le Zai shook his head: "I don't know, Ah Lian didn't say she's a girl."

  "Are you a low-b?" Yu You, who had just sat down, cursed and was immediately met with her father's reproachful gaze. She suppressed her temper and continued to ask Le Zai: "Can't you tell the difference between boys and girls?"

  Le Zi blinked his innocent and mischievous eyes, "I don't know. Ah Lian was always wearing a raincoat, how could I see?"

  "Raincoat? You seem to have thought of something, but can't quite recall it. Why don't you play with her again today and ask if she's a boy or girl?"

  Lezi nodded, "However, Ahlian said she can only play with me at night. She doesn't like daytime."

  "Who doesn't like daytime?"

  Youyou thought it was strange, but Leizi was obviously stumped by her question, painfully trying to come up with an answer but not knowing what to say. Youyou had no choice but to change the subject: "Leizi, you were the one who messed up my pillow last night, weren't you?"

  "I didn't." Le Zi's eyes were innocent and pure.

  "It was obviously you who ate the zongzi!" Youyou's gaze was stern as she stared at him, and this time, it scared him so much that his voice trembled.

  "I've never eaten zongzi before... Waaah! Sister, you're bullying me..."

  She covered her eyes and began to cry softly. Her father scolded her with a glance: "Why are you always scolding your brother?"

  "He did something wrong and won't admit it... Forget it, I'm not eating." Youyou stood up from the chair, looked at Leizi with discontent, who was favored by their father, then went back to her own room and put the tango shoes into a bag. Update 1
