Chapter 86p2
In the room, the two sat on their respective beds, staring at each other, neither of them spoke.
Cheng Tingyan pursed her lips, she saw the little chubby bunny on the opposite bed, for some reason, suddenly pinch her own chubby cheeks.
She couldn’t… hold back anymore…
“Why… are you pinching your own face…” Cheng Tingyan asked softly.
“I thought of something strange, then I thought, maybe it’s not the thing that’s strange, maybe it’s just me being shameless.” Wei Maomao used the slight pain from pinching her cheeks to wake herself up a bit.
Ha, who did she think she was? Just because they had been close for two days, she was getting ahead of herself.
Being close, being friends, was already a dream come true, how could she expect others to take care of her every day? She was a regular cabbage, not a jade cabbage!
The expression on the little chubby face changed noticeably.
Both the drooping eyes and the downturned corners of her mouth made Cheng Tingyan feel… a bit uncomfortable.
“You’re not shameless, you’re adorably chubby.” Cheng Tingyan instinctively refuted the main point of Wei Maomao’s words, then got out of bed, walked to the little chubby bunny’s bed, and asked, “What’s the strange thing?”
Adorably chubby also sounded…
Wei Maomao, both amused and exasperated, looked at Cheng Tingyan, who was standing by the bed, staring at her, waiting for an answer.
“It’s just…” Wei Maomao couldn’t stay silent under that gaze, but speaking up… was a bit too embarrassing.
“It’s just what?” Cheng Tingyan was very patient, and also very persistent.
“It’s just… If you weren’t asleep, I mean… Would you have helped me…” Wei Maomao’s voice became softer and softer, until it disappeared completely, not even a whisper.
It was a vague statement, but Cheng Tingyan… understood.
“You’re saying, if I wasn’t asleep, would I have helped you dry your hair?” Cheng Tingyan’s voice also became very soft.
Wei Maomao felt like she couldn’t take it anymore, ahhh, she wasn’t truly three years old, having such thoughts was truly exploiting child labor, she was shameless…
“I didn’t really want you to help me, I mean, if you weren’t asleep, you might have helped me… Of course, I didn’t really want you to help me…” Under Cheng Tingyan’s silent gaze, Wei Maomao started rambling, her mind a mess.
“I wasn’t asleep, I would have helped you dry your hair.” Cheng Tingyan repeated softly, but both her expression and tone were a bit confused. “But I didn’t. I was afraid you wouldn’t know how to plug it in, I didn’t unplug it, but I didn’t… help you dry your hair. I would have helped you, but I didn’t… Why…”
Wei Maomao: ???
“Yan Yan, are you okay? I, I was just saying it casually! I didn’t ask you to help me!” Wei Maomao was startled by Cheng Tingyan, who was even more incoherent than her.
“So… I was still angry…” Cheng Tingyan mumbled to herself, chuckling wryly.
“Yan Yan? What… are you angry about?” Wei Maomao felt like she couldn’t keep up with the plot after taking a shower.
“Nothing.” Cheng Tingyan reached out and grabbed the little chubby paw. “Come down, I’ll dry your hair for you.”
Wei Maomao: ???
Something was wrong…
Cheng Tingyan was very wrong…
Although in the end, her hair was dried by Cheng Tingyan, Wei Maomao felt that something was definitely wrong with her.
Combining their previous awkward and confusing conversation, Wei Maomao, however unwilling, realized that she was probably the one Cheng Tingyan was angry at.
But… why?
“Yan Yan, are you angry at me?” Wei Maomao, realizing this, decided to be direct. After all, beating around the bush with a six-year-old was just asking for trouble.
“No.” Cheng Tingyan, back in bed, wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.
Wei Maomao: “… “ Okay, it was already this obvious.
“Yan Yan, why are you angry at me? Did I do something wrong?” Wei Maomao tried to recall, they were fine on the way back, weren’t they? “Was it wrong of me to let you shower first? Was it wrong of me to ask Dad to turn on the air conditioner for us? Was it because I didn’t make the bed while you were showering? That… Because the bedsheet was still in your suitcase, and I didn’t feel comfortable opening it without you… Or was it because…”
“No, I’m not angry.” Cheng Tingyan’s face was a bit flushed, she interrupted Wei Maomao’s examples.
Ah, what was she doing, was she waiting for a three-year-old to coax her? Was she being too… Cheng Tingyan, burying her face in the blanket, pinched her own cheek.
“Yan Yan, you have to tell me why you’re angry, so I can change. I want you to be happy, I don’t want you to be angry.” Wei Maomao, summoning her courage, reached out and gently tugged at Cheng Tingyan’s blanket.
Cheng Tingyan, already regretting her failed attempt to suppress her emotions, blushed even harder hearing these words, she couldn’t bear to say her petty grievances, she just wrapped herself even tighter in the blanket.
A cocoon-like blanket, a cocoon-like Yan Yan.
Her three-year-old brain couldn’t figure out the problem…
Wei Maomao was a bit anxious, there were only the two of them in the room, and Cheng Tingyan was hiding in the blanket, her gaze darted around, searching for help but finding none.
Mmm?
Not exactly none…
Outside the blanket… The soft sounds of whispering disappeared. They were replaced by light footsteps, the sound of a zipper? Thump, thump, thump?
Cheng Tingyan was curious, but she was too embarrassed to uncover her face. She couldn’t help herself, she turned over, opened a small gap in the blanket, and just as she was about to peek, the footsteps seemed to be returning.
Slap, the gap was quickly closed again.
Wei Maomao, who was a step behind, didn’t notice Cheng Tingyan’s inner struggle. She walked to the blanket that was rolled up like a barrel and tugged at it gently. “Yan Yan, can I come up and sleep with you?”
The soft, warm little chubby bunny!
The immense temptation was right in front of her, Cheng Tingyan bit her lip.
Aiya, how could she say it with her being so petty now!
Wei Maomao didn’t understand the little one’s hesitation and shyness, but it didn’t matter, she was here to forcefully, oh no… adorably resolve it.
“Can you open the blanket and look at me? Maybe you’ll agree to let me sleep with you.” Wei Maomao said, putting her hands on her hips and turning around.
Cheng Tingyan, already curious about the sounds earlier, slowly opened a small gap in the blanket.
Huh?
What did she see?
It was a… fluffy ball?
Not satisfied with only seeing a narrow glimpse of the outside world, Cheng Tingyan uncovered her face.
The world suddenly opened up, she wasn’t mistaken, it was a fluffy ball!
A fluffy ball… A bunny tail!
Cheng Tingyan stared at the little chubby bunny below the bed, who was wearing a bunny onesie pajamas. A white bunny, the pajamas were made of single-layer fabric, but it had a fluffy tail and a hood with two bunny ears!
Ah! A whole little chubby bunny!
“So? Can I come up and sleep with you now?” Wei Maomao, hearing the sound of the blanket being opened, turned back with a smile.
Cheng Tingyan, hit by the cuteness attack: “… “
Although Cheng Tingyan didn’t answer, she moved to the other side of the bed, making space, her actions speaking louder than words.
Wei Maomao climbed onto the bed with a grin.
How should she put it, she was grateful to her mom, grateful that even though she had firmly refused to wear such childish pajamas, her mom still insisted on secretly packing a whole suitcase of them~~~
They came in handy now!
Under Wei Maomao’s enthusiastic (efforts to) invitation (coax the child), Cheng Tingyan touched the bunny ears, and even touched the bunny tail…
Cheng Tingyan, who wasn’t really angry and whose sadness had been mostly overshadowed by embarrassment, gradually relaxed.
She had already sold her cuteness, she had to get her “money” back.
When Cheng Tingyan, unable to resist, reached out to touch the bunny ears again, her hand was caught by a chubby paw wearing a bunny paw glove.
“Yan Yan, so, why were you angry at me earlier? Regardless of the reason, I definitely didn’t mean to. I want you to be happy, tell me, I’ll definitely make sure you’re not angry in the future, okay?” Wei Maomao said, squeezing closer to Cheng Tingyan and using a bunny ear to tickle her face. “Tell me, okay?”
Cheng Tingyan: “… “
It wasn’t a complicated matter, it was more about the accumulated emotions towards certain words that she couldn’t quite explain.
Now, in this bedroom, with no cameras or microphones, once she overcame her embarrassment and self-consciousness, there was nothing she couldn’t say.
And the key was, the little chubby bunny was too cute, dressed up as a chubby little white bunny, it was truly unfair.
Cheng Tingyan, touching the bunny ears, holding the little chubby paws, initially just wanted to briefly explain, but for some reason, she ended up saying a lot.
Wei Maomao listened quietly, without interrupting, even when her chubby paws were pinched a couple of times by the slightly out-of-control grip, she didn’t make a sound. After all, the pain in her hands was nothing, her heart was aching for her!
So “just”… couldn’t be said casually.
Yan Yan… The Yan Yan in this life, the Yan Yan in her previous life, how much did she still not know, how much did she miss…
The narration eventually came to an end.
“Yan Yan, I’m sorry, it was my fault, I shouldn’t have said those things.” Wei Maomao was truly filled with regret.
“No, it was me being petty. Your ‘just’ was actually directed at your dad, not at me. It was me being petty.” Cheng Tingyan, having said everything, gradually regained her senses, and felt even more that her earlier emotions were unreasonable.
“No, no, it was my fault. Today, when I said… I would just casually ask Uncle Cheng, it was because I thought he was acting a bit strange, I wanted to test if he was truly strange. I shouldn’t have used that to test him. I really like having you stay with me, I should have invited you more sincerely.” Wei Maomao tightened her grip on Cheng Tingyan’s hand. “I won’t say those things again. In the future, if I do something wrong, don’t be angry first, tell me first, okay? And I’ll explain, it’s an explanation, not an excuse. I want to explain that I truly like having you stay with me, very much, it’s not ‘just’! You came out a bit late, next time when we go out, I’ll ask the program team to show you the replay, before you came out, I kept telling Dad that I really like having you stay with me… That I like it so much that… even if you see me wet the bed again, I still want you to stay… Don’t be angry anymore.”
By the end, Wei Maomao’s voice had become soft.
But it didn’t matter, to make Yan Yan stop being angry, there was nothing she couldn’t say.
“I’m not angry anymore.” Cheng Tingyan smiled, then added after a pause, “I also have something to tell you, don’t be angry, okay?”
Wei Maomao, still immersed in guilt: “Ah?”
“That… I’m sorry… I didn’t differentiate between your waist and your butt earlier… When I wanted to wake you up, I wanted to tickle your waist. I truly didn’t mean to!” Cheng Tingyan said weakly, then assured her, “As long as you wear this outfit, I’ll be able to tell! It’s very obvious with the position of the tail!”
Wei Maomao finally understood how she had woken up earlier.
“It’s okay, I can also tell even without this outfit, the protruding part is my waist…” Wei Maomao said, her eyes tearing up.
