How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 136 - 137: Little Seven Slips Up

Chapter 136: Chapter 137: Little Seven Slips Up
Ruan Xiaoqi tightly hugged Ruan Xingwen, burying his head into Ruan Xingwen’s chest.
"Uh... Brother Ze, Xiaoqi is shy, it’s not that he doesn’t like you."
After saying this, Ruan Xingwen couldn’t help but mentally slap himself.
Listen to the nonsense he’s spouting!
Even if it’s true, you can’t say it like that!
Bah, it’s not true!
"No, Brother Ze, I didn’t mean..."
"I didn’t mean it that way..."
Ruan Xingwen’s explanation was even unconvincing to himself, so his voice got quieter.
Yu Xiaozhe also realized his words might have been a bit abrupt earlier, clenched his fist at his side, and awkwardly replied:
"Mm, I know, it was me who was abrupt."
He just felt there was something wrong with him, not because of Ruan Xingwen’s rejection.
But his somewhat stiff tone made Ruan Xingwen misunderstand.
He was about to explain again when he heard the sound of a car outside.
Ruan Xingwen decided not to explain any further and directly placed Ruan Xiaoqi into Yu Xiaozhe’s arms, then went with Zhang He to open the door.
Yu Xiaozhe was caught off guard and could only reach out to hold Ruan Xiaoqi, who was handed over to him.
Both of them were a bit stunned, staring blankly at each other.
It was Ruan Xiaoqi who couldn’t stand the awkward atmosphere, extended his little chubby hand to pat Yu Xiaozhe’s arm, pointing to the swing outside, and in a childish voice, ordered the man holding him:
"Uncle Yu, I want to go over there!"
Yu Xiaozhe was stunned by the way he was addressed.
This little one was the child of Ruan Xingwen’s uncle, meaning Ruan Xingwen’s little brother, and yet he was calling him an uncle?!
"Call me brother."
Yu Xiaozhe said faintly, with a hint of threat.
If he called him brother, he could take him to play on the swing.
Ruan Xiaoqi heard his words, examined Yu Xiaozhe’s face carefully, and called out:
"Uncle Yu, hurry and take me over!"
"..."
Yu Xiaozhe stood still, his intention was unless this little guy changed the way he called him, he wouldn’t help him.
Ruan Xiaoqi noticed the man holding him really had no intention of taking him over, and wanted to seek out Ruan Xingwen.
His little mouth just opened, and the man who was holding him seemed to realize what he was about to say and spoke first:
"Xingxing is busy, don’t disturb him."
"Hmph, you’re his boss, yet here you are doing nothing!"
Ruan Xiaoqi couldn’t help but retort, and immediately covered his little mouth after, remembering Yun Jing’s advice:
Never reveal yourself in front of strangers!
A child about two years old being able to talk is already considered early.
And now he’s exposed in front of this bad old man!
Yu Xiaozhe looked at him thoughtfully, and if his gaze landed on Ruan Xiaoqi’s real form, his fur might have bristled.
"You... also don’t want me to tell Xingxing about this, right?"
Ruan Xiaoqi reluctantly replied:
"What do you really want?! No matter what you say, I won’t do anything to hurt Xingxing!"
Hmm? This little guy is quite loyal...
Yu Xiaozhe nodded imperceptibly, negotiating with Ruan Xiaoqi:
"Call me brother."
Ruan Xiaoqi gave him a "That’s it?!" look, with a somewhat surprised expression.
So knowing his secret, the condition to keeping it was just a matter of title?!
This old man is too strange!
Although Ruan Xiaoqi and Yu Xiaozhe didn’t know each other, his hostility towards Yu Xiaozhe was simply because Yu Xiaozhe had intentions towards Ruan Xingwen.
As for a title, it can naturally be changed.
Ruan Xiaoqi surrendered and changed his address:
"Brother Yu!"
Yu Xiaozhe was satisfied, exuding an aura of triumph, as childish as ever.
He carried Ruan Xiaoqi over to the swing.
Passing by the balcony, Li Mu stopped Yu Xiaozhe.
Ruan Xiaoqi saw Yu Xiaozhe really stopped and wasn’t happy, looking at Li Mu with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.
Li Mu naturally wouldn’t bother with a child, simply said:
"It’s cold outside."
Yu Xiaozhe then realized he’d overlooked Xiaoqi being a child; even if bundled warmly, he couldn’t withstand the cold.
Looking down at the little guy in his arms, he repeated Li Mu’s words:
"It’s cold outside."
Ruan Xiaoqi realized what he wanted wasn’t going to happen, pouted, and his eyes soon brimmed with tears, about to cry.
Yu Xiaozhe was confused, having never experienced such a scene.
Luckily, at this moment, Ruan Xingwen and Zhang He returned with several staff members.
Seeing Yu Xiaozhe dazedly holding Ruan Xiaoqi, while Ruan Xiaoqi in his arms was teary-eyed, Ruan Xingwen asked in surprise:
"Brother Ze, Xiaoqi, what happened to you?"
Ruan Xiaoqi struggled in Yu Xiaozhe’s arms, wanting Ruan Xingwen to hold him, as if he had suffered a great grievance.
"Waa waa! Xingxing, waa waa, they bullied me! Waa waa!"
Ruan Xiaoqi’s crying was indeed a bit piercing, Ruan Xingwen’s head filled with black lines.
If he didn’t know Xiaoqi wasn’t human, anyone seeing his crying would suspect Yu Xiaozhe did some unforgivable act.
But Ruan Xingwen knew Xiaoqi wasn’t human and couldn’t be bullied.
So Ruan Xingwen didn’t suspect Yu Xiaozhe but waited quietly for Xiaoqi to finish crying. Once his sobs gradually quieted, he asked again:
"Xiaoqi, what happened just now?"
The best way to handle a child’s tantrum is to let them cry, let them fuss, and don’t pay attention.
As long as you say anything while he’s crying, he’ll ask for more.
And Xiaoqi, being a young Qilin, was equivalent to a young child in human age.
This trick worked well, as Xiaoqi gradually stopped crying when he saw Ruan Xingwen ignoring him.
He sobbed as he approached Ruan Xingwen’s neck, wrapping his arms around it, choking with emotion:
"Waa waa, I want to play on the swing."
Ruan Xingwen rubbed Xiaoqi’s chubby little face, in a doting tone,
"But it’s cold outside now; if you go out, you’ll catch a cold."
"But I want to play～"
A child who knows how to act cute gets candy, and the staff who came inside earlier saw the adorable Xiaoqi and suggested:
"How about watching cartoons for a while!"
"Yes, yes, cartoons are way more fun than swings～"
"Right, little cutie, watching cartoons inside where it’s warm instead of getting sick outside is much better～"
Ruan Xiaoqi’s little ears twitched, resembling a small animal.
He admitted he was attracted by the so-called cartoons.
"Cartoons? Xingxing, what’s that?"
Zhang He saw a chance, quickly signaling to a young girl nearby.
The young girl understood, walked up to Ruan Xingwen, and softly said:
"Little cutie, how about I take you to watch cartoons? They’re really nice～"
Ruan Xiaoqi was somewhat tempted but looked to Ruan Xingwen for his opinion.
Ruan Xingwen understood Zhang He’s intention, handed the little guy in his arms to the young girl, and patted Xiaoqi’s little head,
"You’ll know once you see it; they’re indeed quite nice."
As a result, once in the girl’s arms, Xiaoqi didn’t even look back and followed her away.
