With the help of the neighbors, Noah and Myron quickly built a big house for Qilin, with all kinds of utensils in it. Noah's medical expenses and Myron's savings from selling silk were more than enough for the layout. The big room was bright and majestic, with snow-white walls. Noah also specially laid a layer of flat wooden boards on the floor following the example of Shen Xi's house. After failing to make furniture, Myron simply went to a furniture store in the commercial street and bought him a big mahogany bed and a set of small furniture.

Since then, Qilin has lived in the house of Noah and Myron. Noah and Myron take pity on him for losing his parents when he was young, and love him as their own child. Although Qilin is not very used to being friendly with people, he soon got used to it, got used to the gentleness of Noah and Myron, and also got used to the noise of the family next door.

The first time I saw Shen Lele was 10 days after he came to the Moon Clan.

Shen Lele lived with his grandpas for half a month, and returned home with a lot of gifts from Hebrew. Returning to her familiar nest, Lele rolled on her little bed, spreading the presents all over the bed.

He was actually a little disappointed that none of his brothers were there. This guy Taotao must have been running all over the mountains and plains again, and Qiuqiu and Tutu don't know where they went, those two guys always leave them to play by themselves, it's really disgusting. Fortunately, he even asked his grandfather for Tutu's favorite shell boat, just to tease him.

The smell in the kitchen was getting stronger and stronger, Lele sniffled her little nose, ran behind her father, and asked for candies.

"Eating too much candy will cause tooth decay, and when you take a bite, worms will come out of your teeth." Shen Xi deliberately frightened him.

"Then let me eat less~" Lele took Shen Xi's hand and said coquettishly: "Dad~" The sweet and sweet taste of candy kept getting into his nose, and he raised his face pitifully and looked straight at Hawthorn candies just out of the cage.

"The old rule is that you can eat up to five pieces of candy a day, remember?" Shen Xi wrapped up the five pieces of candy and put them in his palm: "And I will sell pastries for my father later, no stealing is allowed, I will see if I lose a copper coin." from."

"Yeah." Lele took the candy happily.

"If you steal it, your father beast will spank your butt when you come back at night." Shen Xi raised his eyebrows, and deliberately pinched his soft and elastic little butt.

"I won't steal it." Thinking of the father beast's iron sand palm, Lele's bun face wrinkled. The last time I ate a lot of candy with Taotao, his little butt was swollen from his father's beating. It was terrible. He is not as rough and thick as Taotao, and he will never want to be beaten again. up.

Qilin came back from hunting in the back mountain that day, and saw that a stall was set up at the door of the next door, but this time it was not the familiar little ghosts who looked at the stall. Wearing a strange short-sleeved shorts, he fell asleep lying on the table. When passing by, Qilin couldn't help but glanced at it, only to think that this person was very beautiful, with a very peaceful sleeping face, very delicate facial features, and long eyelashes, like a small brush.

The children in the neighborhood are all very good-looking, especially the one named Tutu, with curved eyebrows and beautiful makeup, he is doted on by all the children. Even Shen Taotao, who often finds fault with him, looks good, and his smile is particularly dazzling. But adding up all the people he has met, he feels that he is not as good-looking as the person in front of him, there is almost nothing bad about him.

Qilin paused, and quickly walked home with the pheasant in his hand.

Lele sold candy for a while, but there were not many people here, so she ran to the stream to take a bath. Few people came in the afternoon, so he lay on the green grass and basked in the sun, shaking off the water droplets all over his body. His pure white fur was very eye-catching in the sun, and his long tail was wagging very cutely. Sensing the gaze from the side, Lele squinted his eyes and saw a little beast that he had never seen before staring straight at him. He had never seen a little beast that looked like this before, and it gave people a special majestic feeling.

He didn't know that the Qilin was originally the head of all beasts, even if an adult Qilin just looked at people like this, it would make people feel a huge coercion invisibly. However, Qilin is still young and can't even breathe fire. Although his body is cold, he has no coercion. It is this kind of coldness that does not belong to the same age that almost no one in the Moon Clan comes to strike up a conversation with him. Of course, except for Shen Taotao who is not afraid of anything.

"What's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?" Lele turned into a pink human figure and asked curiously.

"Kirin." Qilin took the shape of a human and replied lightly.

"Why are you at Uncle Noah's house? Are you sick?" Ignoring the other party's cold tone, Lele continued to ask with her head tilted.

"No, I'm their adopted son."

"Eh?" Lele asked curiously, "Then you will live here from now on?" "

Yeah."

"Then let's play together in the future." Lele said excitedly .

"Okay." Qilin cherished words like gold.

Lele ignored his indifference and was completely immersed in the excitement of having a new playmate. Who let Qiuqiu and Tutu play by themselves every day, and Taotao ran around wildly again, the children in the clan always disliked his handsome appearance and would not play with him.

"Let's play sandcastle, shall we?" Lele's black eyes were full of hope, he jumped over the fence lightly, and said while holding Qilin's hand.

The hand was held by the other party, and one could clearly feel the warm touch of the other party. Qilin was startled, and said, "I've never played it before."

Lele looked at him regretfully, "Why did this happen? Then what did you play when you were young?

" Once he was able to catch prey, the father beast went with his dead father. He lived alone in the deep mountains and dense forests, busy trying to find ways to keep himself alive, and of course there was no time for games.

"Then let me teach you how to play. I can play house and sandcastle. Here, I will lend you my swing." Lele patted her small chest, as if wrapped around me.

When Shen Xi woke up from a nap and came out to find Lele with the newly made candied haws, what he saw was Lele pulling a unicorn to worship. The two of them bowed to heaven and earth, and Lele shouted at the top of his voice, "One bow to heaven and earth..."

Shen Xi folded his chest and looked at them amusedly, Lele couldn't remember what the second bow was at this moment, and smiled and pulled the unicorn to play "husband and wife bow".

"You have to be responsible for worshiping the bridal chamber." Shen Xi appeared behind them with a smile: "Whether rich or poor, high or low, poor or sick, regardless of difficulties and setbacks, will you be by his side, love him, and protect him?"

"Yes, I am willing!" Lele said excitedly, he had long wanted to answer this question like the protagonist in his father's story.

Qilin's heart moved, and he looked up at him.

Shen Xi raised his eyebrows: "Then are you willing to share the candied haws with Qilin?"

Lele said with watery eyes, "Can you give us two?"

Shen Xi smiled: "I'll get them for you. "

Lele happily took Qilin's hand and said: "We have candied haws to eat. My father's candied haws are the best, sour and sweet~" Although

Qilin's temper is cold, he is by no means unkind . Lele likes to cling to him, and the two often play together. Two years later: Qilin walked in the stream with his trousers on his heels, looking for fish. Seeing a big fish, he quickly threw the harpoon in his hand and threw the fish to the shore. Lele quickly picked it up, cut off the head of the fish with a sharp bone knife in his hand, and began to cut the scales.

The two cooperated tacitly, and after a while Lele said with a smile: "Enough."

Then Qilin came out of the stream.

"Borrow a fire~" Lele waved at him.

Qilin puffed up his cheeks, and blew a big breath at a pile of branches on the ground, and immediately shot out a cluster of small flames from his mouth, which ignited the branches.

"Give me the fish." Qilin took the processed big fish from Lele, skillfully strung them on clean big branches, put them on the suggested shelf that Lele made with stones, and roasted them.

Lele took out several small paper packets from the bundle behind him, all of which were seasonings he brought from the kitchen at home.

When Qilin was about to finish grilling the fish, Lele spread the seasoning evenly.

Qilin gave Lele the biggest one that had been baked, and then took the other one and sat next to him, and they ate while watching the fire.

"It tastes so good." Probably because I made it myself, Lele's food was extraordinarily sweet: "It's nice to have you come out with me, otherwise I would die alone in this deep mountain." "I was just passing by

. " Qilin said lightly, and took a clean leaf to wipe Lele's face by the way: "How do you look at the fire, why do you even get your face covered?" "Oh, why did the

father beast let me live alone in the mountains?" One night." Lele put her chin on Qilin's shoulder and said melancholy: "I don't like this kind of test. If you didn't come, I don't know how to pass tonight." "Because you are an orc, an

orc Always learn to be on your own." Even though Lele was heavy on his shoulders, Qilin didn't feel heavy.

"I have a father and a father beast." Lele pouted.

"An adult orc cannot stay at home." Qilin stated the well-known facts.

As soon as Qilin said this, Lele's little face collapsed: "I don't want to live alone, will you come and live with me when the time comes?" Qilin's heart moved, and he raised his hand to touch his smooth

face : "Are you sure? With me, there can't be a third person in the family."

"It's enough to have Qilin." Lele said naturally while hugging his neck.

Qilin smiled lightly, suddenly threw the fish he had eaten, turned around and took a bite on his cheek, and said seriously: "You said this, don't go back on your word." Lele's clear eyes blinked

, He didn't know that those words just now sold his whole life. At night, the two slept on the ground made of licorice, and the two little animals snuggled together. Qilin held Lele in his arms and gently combed his hair. The two counted the stars in the sky together, and soon fell asleep.

Forty years later, when Qilin came to propose marriage, to be honest, Shen Xi actually had a feeling: It really is so. To be honest, seeing their two childhood sweethearts growing up, he had long been mentally prepared for this.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings..." Shen Xi let out a long sigh, and silently lowered his head while hugging his youngest son Shisan: "Eli, tell me." That's right

, Shen Xi is already thirteen. the father of the child. The oldest son, Qiuqiu, has passed the coming-of-age ceremony, and took Tutu to build another house to live in. The youngest son, Xiao Shisan, has not been weaned yet... The

years have not left marks on his face, nor have the simple days. The wind and frost left on his face, but his temperament was completely worn out by these thirteen children, and there was more stability and maturity in his bright and clear eyes. His pastry shop is already very famous among the Moon Clan. Anyone who wants to celebrate a birthday or has something to celebrate will come to him to order cakes and delicious meals.

"Lele is not a child anymore," Eli said in a deep voice, "Let him decide for himself." "

This is a promise." Lele happily took Qilin's hand and said, the hand was immediately held back, The two intertwined their fingers.

"It's your turn next." Shen Xi smiled at Taotao next to him.

"Don't!" Taotao shouted: "I haven't played enough yet! If you want to marry, let the fifth and sixth brothers go first. Aren't they fighting with the Yu clan recently! And the seventh brother, running every day Go and play with that vicious mermaid!"

"Did you know?" Shen Xi raised his eyebrows, and looked at Eli with Shisan in his arms.

Eli shook his head.

If you have more sons, you can't take care of them. It turned out that the sons who disappeared every day were busy dating. Seeing the sons going out one after another, Shen Xi said sadly: "They are all busy dating, so I don't want my dad anymore. It's really disappointing." Eli smiled

slightly , gently wrapped him and his youngest son in his arms: "It's enough to have me, fool."
