Chapter 299 Little Sun and the Big Sister Who is Loved by Children
After all, the outlying island is just a small town. Mo Ran had already taken Xiao Taiyang to play in all the places that could be played during the festival. When they returned to the hotel, it was already completely dark.
After a day of playing, Klee lay in the arms of her father in a black dress, looking a little sleepy. Looking at the little sun like this, Mo Ran felt his heart was about to melt. The word "cute" was simply born for Klee.
"Brother, Keli is so sleepy now, but Keli doesn't want to go to bed yet."
"Why doesn't Keli want to sleep?" Mo Ran asked softly.
"Hehe, because Klee still wants to play with her brother. She doesn't want to wake up and find her brother gone again!" Klee said, moving a little closer to the arms of the man in black. The cool evening breeze and the warm embrace formed a sharp contrast.
Mo Ran smiled gently and said soothingly: "Brother will not disappear. As long as Ke Li wants, brother can appear at any time."
"Then brother promised Keli that tomorrow...we..." Before he finished speaking, Keli fell into a deep sleep, her breathing was very even, as if she was having a good dream.
After returning to the hotel, Mo Ran opened the door quietly. Albedo, who had been waiting inside for a long time, was about to speak, but when he saw the sleeping little sun, he stopped the words that were about to come to his lips.
Mo Ran also gently put down his hand that was making a "hush" gesture from his mouth, placed Keli on the bed in the hotel, gently took off her hat and put it aside.
Albedo also stepped forward, and the two of them worked together to take off their backpacks and shoes, then covered themselves with the quilt and tiptoed out of the room.
Perhaps it is hard to imagine that one of them is almost invincible and can sweep across Teyvat, and the other is the strongest alchemist in Mondstadt and holds an important position, but at this moment, when his sister is asleep, he becomes cautious.
Only after they closed the door did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief and walk to the dining area downstairs to order a few meals, leaving one specifically for Kelly in case she woke up hungry in the middle of the night.
At the dinner table, General Lei Dian behaved better and stopped pestering his uncle. Instead, he listened quietly to the conversation between the two uncles.
"I was just packing Keli's luggage."
"I know. You don't need to explain it to me, Albedo. Although we weren't very familiar with each other before, I still trust you very much."
"That's good."
After all, the person in front of him is Klee's blood brother, so Albedo thinks it would be better for him to explain it. Whether the other party believes it or not is another matter whether he explains it or not.
……
The next morning, Keli opened her eyes, rubbed her little face, looked at the empty lunch box that had been taken away beside the bed, and stretched her body.
After washing and having breakfast as usual, they set out for Inazuma Castle. When passing by Konda Village, Albedo said he wanted to stay and paint and sketch, so he let everyone go first.
Mo Ran gave him a positioning mechanism, saying that he could use it to do what they wanted, and then he put the positioning object into his sleeve.
After waving goodbye, Klee pointed in the direction of Inazuma Castle and shouted, "Let's go, destination Inazuma Castle! Let's go!"
Little Sun jumped out of his arms, took short steps and ran away. Mo Ran chased after him and said worriedly, "Slow down, Klee, don't fall!"
"Uncle, aunt, wait for me!" General Lei Dian also joined in running, outlining a beautiful and unique scene of prosperity.
Fortunately, the visual impairment was still in effect, otherwise, if the mighty General Thunder and Lightning clung to a man like a shy kid on a long journey, it would probably scare the man to death.
Not far from Inazuma Castle is the Naganohara Fireworks store. A curvy and enthusiastic girl is standing at the door teasing the neighbor's child.
But his listless face showed that he was worried, probably because fireworks could not be set off during the Rongcai Festival.
A boy saw that his sister, who usually took care of them, was unhappy, and immediately said:
"Sister Xiaogong, don't be sad. I'll tell you something happy, okay? Yesterday, I played against that big brother with horns, and I won all three games!"
"It's not easy to win a fight, Matsuzaka you did a great job." Xiao Gong praised.
A girl in pink next to her spoke up and consoled her: "Sister Xiao Gong, although fireworks cannot be set off at the Rong Cai Festival, there are still many fun things to do at the festival!"
"Well, thank you." Xiao Gong smiled reluctantly, "Actually, it's just that we can't set off fireworks for a few days. I'm not that unhappy!"
"Sister Xiaogong! I have brought your friends, the blond brother and the yellow-haired sister. Don't be unhappy!" A boy in blue clothes ran over, followed by two travelers.
"It's Kong, Ying, and little Paimon!" Xiao Gong's eyes brightened a little. These three friends who seemed to have similar interests were a real source of joy to her.
Ying smiled and said, "Hello, Sister Xiaogong!"
"Don't imitate the child so nonchalantly. You're almost my age, but you always like to act cute." Xiao Gong folded her arms.
The blond boy who was easily ignored since he was traveling with his sister thought to himself: "Ying's age..."
Ying changed her usual image and said in a muffled voice like a little girl, "No? No?"
Xiao Gong's heart trembled slightly because of the torment, and he quickly said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Ying is a cute little girl."
"Hehe, Xiaogong is smiling, so don't look so sad anymore." Ying put her arm around Xiaogong's shoulder and grinned.
"Okay." Xiao Gong was stunned for a moment and scratched her head. Sometimes she might not even know what was going on with her. This yellow-haired girl could cleverly resolve many of her worries. She was very considerate.
Several children exclaimed in amazement, thinking that this sister was so powerful. They tried so hard to make Xiao Gong happy but failed. However, this sister solved the problem with just a few words. Could she be a god?
Just as they were imagining how powerful this sister was, a deep and gentle voice came from somewhere, giving them the feeling that even if the sky fell in front of them, they didn't have to be afraid.
"Everyone, it's been a long time since we last met. I missed you so much." Mo Ran hugged Keli, and with his arms around the gentle General Lei Dian, he slowly walked to the crowd.
The little sun in the arms of a man dressed in black waved and greeted, "Hello, Honorary Knight brother, and little Paimon!"
"Hey, it's Klee, and Mo Ran is here too!" Paimeng turned around and found that everyone who came seemed to be familiar.
Kong replied in a gentle voice: "Long time no see."
Ying pulled the blonde girl and introduced her, "This is Mo Ran, a friend who has helped me, my brother, and Paimon a lot."
Paimon knew that she didn't know the other people, so he helped to add: "There's also little Klee, the Spark Knight of the Mondstadt Knights, and... um, Mo Ran, who is the other one?"
Due to his visual impairment, Paimeng saw this familiar face but couldn't remember who it was. Unless Mo Ran introduced him personally, he would probably never know.
"That's my niece. Haven't you seen her before?" Mo Ran reminded.
"Oh, now I remember. There were so many people there that time that I almost forgot about it." Paimon nodded and made up an excuse that was flawless.
Xiao Gong smiled and said softly, "Hello, my name is Xiao Gong, and I'm the manager of this Naganohara Fireworks Shop. Xiao Keli's clothes and hat are so special, and this backpack is so exquisitely made."
"This is a four-leaf clover. Mom and Captain Qin both said that four-leaf clover can bring good luck." Although it was only the first time they met, this enthusiastic big sister, Klee, was very kind, so there was a very cute smile on her soft face.
"Is that so? That's great. Maybe if it's made into the shape of fireworks, everyone will like it. And the little elf hanging on the backpack is so cute!" Xiao Gong has no resistance to children and is always amazed or smiling.
Keli introduced the girl as if she were a friend: "This is Dudu Ke, Keli's best friend. We often go to Xingluo Lake to fry fish together."
"Oh? Is it Dudu Ke? This name is very creative. I like it too!"
"Yes, every Dudu will ride the wind to go on adventures after he is born. This is what my mother told me."
"Going on an adventure with the wind?" Xiao Gong paused, then said, "Keli's mother is so romantic!"
Mo Ran, who was listening quietly, couldn't help but recall his own bedtime stories that sounded bizarre, like the one about a leaf that could "suppress all enemies in the world" or the Yan Emperor Xiao Huohuo who "changes things over time".
There was also a character who left a very deep impression on me and was warned not to become. He seemed to be an outer disciple who used a hidden weapon and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff after being discovered stealing something.
Although Mo Ran didn't know why he had to tell himself, who was only two or three years old at the time, these stories that were obviously not suitable for his age group, it might be because of these flesh-and-blood examples that allowed him, who was only four years old at the time, to move forward courageously for the sake of his family, even if it meant giving up himself.
Just when Mo Ran was secretly thanking his sister for reminding him of these beautiful memories, something Keli said made him feel that he still needed to work harder.
"Yes! Mom is the most amazing and the best person! And Sister Xiao Gong is also a very good and amazing person!"
"Hehe, I also feel like I'm a good match with Klee. We're going to become good friends!"
Xiao Gong's casual words made the man in black feel as if someone was closing in on him from behind.
There is nothing wrong with thinking that mother is the best person. Not to mention anything else, just because Klee has only seen her mother since she was a child, the other two in the family lose.
But now, Ke Li praised Mo Ran so much from an older sister whom he had just met, which made his heart tremble. He had not received such praise yet, and he had not been recognized by his sister. Why?
Is it because it's always been too old-fashioned? Or is it because of his gloomy temperament that makes Klee feel that he can't play with him anymore? What's the problem?
Mo Ran, who could move mountains and fill the sea with a flip of his hand, and make the sun and moon retreat with a wave of his hand, and could call the wind and rain with a single word, was now panicked.
As the saying goes, those who are involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. Even he himself did not realize that he was being too picky. How could one tell the closeness or distance between them from just two sentences? Not to mention that Klee is just a child, how could she think about these things?
After chatting for a while, the atmosphere became a little depressed because we talked about not allowing fireworks to be set off and not causing explosions.
Keli smiled, then cheered up and said, "Sister Xiaogong, we can ask brother for help. Brother is also a very good and capable person. It was brother who took Keli out to play yesterday!"
"He's a very good and powerful person, brother?" Mo Ran didn't hear much of the other words, but this one sentence seemed to linger in his ears for three days. He couldn't stop smiling, and his smile sounded very cheap and worthless.
"This guest, I felt he looked very familiar from the very beginning, as if I had seen him somewhere." Xiao Gong looked at the ordinary face with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Mo Ran explained, "I came here to buy fireworks a few years ago. At that time, Miss Xiao Gong was not the store manager yet."
"Oh, I remember now. Isn't that sister here? I've always wanted to thank you in person!" There seemed to be a galaxy hidden in Xiao Gong's eyes, so bright.
Mo Ran smiled faintly and said, "Mother didn't come this time, but my sister Ke Li is here."
"Wait, that sister is your mother, not your sister?" Xiao Gong was stunned. She had always thought they were siblings. After all, they looked so young.
Mo Ran nodded and said, "Yes."
"Oh, sorry, I always thought they were siblings, hehe." Xiao Gong smiled awkwardly.
Pai Meng, Kong and Ying on the side all showed curious expressions and were slightly surprised. They felt that no matter where they went, there would be Mo Ran's relatives and friends, or at least there would be some intersections between them.
They seemed to have always lived in his shadow...
