Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother Novel - Chapter 347
347 Two Ghosts Overturning the Sky
Over the next few nights, this scene often appeared in her dreams, and it stayed with her for a long time.
The big and bright room was now fully draped in bright red gauze. The fabric was swaying gently in the breeze. Those who didn’t know better might mistake this place for a horror movie set.
Xiaoguo pushed away the red veil in front of her face and tried her best to act calm before walking in. The children were still young and should be warned verbally. She must avoid using physical punishment on them.
Xiaoguo glanced around the room. It seemed fine. There was just red muslin hanging all over the place. It wasn’t too bad. Everything would be fine once she removed the fabric. “It’s fine, it’s fine…”
!!
There was no sign of the two kids in this room. Xiaoguo then walked towards the other room.
When she saw the scene in the room, Xiaoguo stopped in her tracks and closed her eyes. She exhaled heavily and comforted herself. They had only draped the room with white muslin. “It’s not that bad, It’s not that bad…”
“Ah wu…”
“Ahhh…”
Two howls in different tones came from the innermost room, which was Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe’s room.
Feeling curious, Xiaoguo avoided the white gauze and walked forward. She raised her hand and pushed the door open. The door hit a small figure and it bounced back.
“Ahhh…”
Xiaoyi touched his little butt and turned around in disgruntlement. He wanted to see who was stopping him from launching his power!
“…” He turned around aggressively. When he saw who it was, he was stunned on the spot. The fierce expression on his little face stiffened.
Xiaoguo pressed her lips together hard, trying not to laugh.
“Awoo… Awoo! Awoo?”
Behind the bed curtains, another voice suddenly sounded. It was obvious who the voice belonged to. The owner of the voice gradually became irritable because he heard no response from the other party. In the end, she heard the sound of bottles collapsing and little footsteps approaching.
“What’s wrong with Xiaoyi?”
Zhuang Zhuang walked over unhappily. Xiaoyi was the one who had asked him to dress up like this. He had even asked him to communicate with him using “Ah Woo” sounds. Why did he suddenly stop?
For a moment, the air seemed to have frozen over. The three of them stared at each other. Two pairs of eyes were shy and guilty. The remaining pair was staring in disbelief, at Zhuang Zhuang and the jar in his hands.
“If I remember correctly, the two of you should be studying.”
“…”
“…”
“If I remember correctly, there is some fabric missing from your clothes.”
“…”
“… Hehe.”
“If I remember correctly, that jar shouldn’t be empty.” Xiaoguo pointed at the jar in Zhuang Zhuang’s hand.
“…” Zhuang Zhuang and Wen Xiaoyi looked at each other and smiled ingratiatingly. “Mother has such a good memory!”
“That’s right!”
Xiaoyi immediately echoed.
Looking at the two little brats in their strange getup, the corners of Xiaoguo’s mouth twitched a few times. She took a good look at their faces. They were covered in white, red and black markings . It seemed that her cosmetics must have been ruined. Most of her makeup must have ended in the same fate as the lipstick in Zhuang Zhuang’s hands.
“Shall I ask the questions, or are you going to tell me yourselves?”
“We will tell you!”
The two children chose the latter at the same time.
However, who should be the one speaking up? The two brats were in a dilemma. They kept pushing the responsibility onto each other. In the end, Xiaoyi stood up guiltily. After all, he was the one who made Zhuang Zhuang dress up and play with him.
Xiaoyi thought to himself that he should take responsibility for his own actions. He came up to Xiaoguo and puffed out his chest, looking at her squarely in the face. But after a while, he wilted under her gaze. He bent down and wringed his little hands while mumbling to himself.
Fortunately, Xiaoguo wasn’t deaf yet, so she could roughly hear the reason.
“Mother, Mother, Mother, you can’t blame Xiaoyi. I’m also curious about what the Ghost Parade in the book is like.”
“That’s right, but there are only two of us. We can’t do the hundred-demons parade.”
“And we couldn’t find any black veils. We only managed to find some red and white ones.”
“That’s right. Besides, Uncle Shouji refused to play along with us even though we kept asking him to. We are not going to play with him anymore!”
The two boys even started discussing among themselves in front of Xiaoguo. Even though she was angry, she had nowhere to vent her anger. She shook her head in silence. “These two heedless kids…”
“Oh… are you guys quite disappointed with this outcome?”
“It’s alright. I think this is still fine. The next time…”
Zhuang Zhuang winked at the other party and signaled him to stop. However, this was Xiaoyi, a silly boy who is highly imperceptive.
The more Xiaoyi spoke, the softer his voice became. Although insensitive, he could sense that something was off. There was a quiet aura in the air. He turned around and looked at Zhuang Zhuang, who refused to communicate with him. Then, he turned to look at the expressionless Xiaoguo.
“…” Xiaoyi finally smiled foolishly at Xiaoguo, trying to get by with his cuteness. “Hehe…”
However, this move had been used by Zhuang Zhuang countless times. Xiaoguo was already immune to such a tactic and was completely unmoved by it.
“Are you going to do something about this or should I do something about it?”
Xiaoguo looked at her surroundings. She looked very calm. Her extreme calmness made the two brats feel uneasy.
They both swallowed their saliva and said in unison, “Let us work on it.”
Xiaoguo smiled and nodded. She gave them a look, signaling them to get started.
The two children dawdled for a long time, walking close to the wall. If they wanted to go out, they had to pass by Xiaoguo first.
Xiaoguo stood at the door and leaned against the frame, her eyes fixed on the two of them. Then, she crossed her arms and shifted her weight to her other leg, looking like she was getting tired from standing.
The two boys were very tense now. Every move that Xiaoguo made was stressing them out. They were both frozen on the spot, looking like cats with fur standing on ends. After calming down, they tried walking towards the door again.
The closer they got to the door, the more nervous the two children became. Their eyes were locked on Xiaoguo. In the end, Xiaoyi bore the brunt of his fear and ran out first.
Behind him, Zhuang Zhuang didn’t manage to catch up with his friend. He tightened his butt while looking at Xiaoguo, who was wearing a vague smile on her face. The boy revealed a terrible-looking smile. “Mother, don’t kick my butt. I’m still holding your lip tint in my hand. I heard that it’s quite expensive. I’ll give it back to you…”
As Zhuang Zhuang spoke, he kept moving towards the door. Before leaving, he stuffed the lip tint into Xiaoguo’s hand and ran out.
Xiaoyi, who was keeping a lookout outside, immediately spotted Zhuang Zhuang running out from the room. For some unknown reason, he started running with him.
When they arrived outside the house, they bumped into Jiang Danhe and Li Shouji, who were guarding the door.
The four pairs of eyes met and the two little ones cried out in fear. They thought that Xiaoguo had specially asked the adults to come and capture them. They pushed the two men away and quickly ran off.
Jiang Danhe and Li Shouji were stunned and could not recover from their shock.
Xiaoyi, who was running away, finally remembered to ask Zhuang Zhuang, “Why are we running? Aren’t we supposed to clean up the house?”
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Zhuang glanced at him and said with lingering fear, “If we don’t run now, we won’t be able to escape!”
“Why?” Xiaoyi was confused. He stopped Zhuang Zhuang, who was running aimlessly, and asked, “We just have to clean ourselves up and remove the gauze from the room.”
“…” Zhuang Zhuang’s face was filled with guilt. He looked at Xiaoyi and said, “Anyway… don’t worry about it. Let’s not go back for the time being. We’ll talk about this later.”
“But I’m hungry…” Xiaoyi rubbed his stomach. After crying “ah woo” for so long, he was starving by now.
“Then… is your butt more important than filling your stomach?”
Xiaoyi looked at Zhuang Zhuang listlessly and said faintly, “The most important thing is to eat and drink your fill.”
“…”
Zhuang Zhuang had never been so speechless before. It was really an eye-opener. The “stupid fool” that his mother always talked about was now right in front of him. Forgive him for being too ignorant. “You’d better go back.”
“Aren’t you hungry? You should go back.”
“…” Xiaoyi swallowed and shook his head weakly. “Maybe later…”
