Chapter 893: 895, Bao Bao the Hero Saves the Beauty (Second Update)

"Sure," Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly, opened the fridge and, after scanning the contents inside, slowly suggested, "How about we make some spicy fish, tiger-skin peppers, pan-seared steak, stir-fried tomatoes with eggs, and a green veggie tofu soup?"

Chu Jin nodded in agreement, "Sounds good, it’s getting late now, let’s start preparing dinner, and then we can go out for a walk afterward." It had been many years since she returned to the ordinary world, and Chu Jin also wanted to stroll down memory lane.

"Okay, you go watch TV, and I’ll call you when I’m done," Mo Zhixuan said, putting on an apron with practiced ease.

A 1.8-meter-tall man wearing an apron looked, well... rather cute.

"Oh my, Mr. Mo, how can you be so capable?" Chu Jin tiptoed to peck his cheek, her voice light, "I’ll take care of washing the veggies for you. Men and women working together make light work."

Although Qin Zhenglin had prepared vegetables that didn’t need washing, for peace of mind, they still required a rinse.

Seeing Chu Jin being so ’dutiful,’ Mo Zhixuan had no choice but to agree. In the five years they had been married, the number of times Chu Jin cooked could be counted on one hand.

One washed the vegetables while the other stir-fried, working together seamlessly.

Soon, the air was filled with tantalizing aromas.

Elsewhere.

Bao Bao and Bei Bei walked hand in hand, pressing on down the street.

The siblings, holding hands, looked small and soft, drawing quite a bit of attention from passersby.

Many people even took out their phones to snap pictures of them.

The siblings were not shy and posed confidently for the cameras, even striking poses.

"The adults here are so friendly," Bei Bei whispered to Bao Bao.

They were indeed very enthusiastic, almost overwhelming Bei Bei.

Bao Bao, with a smile plastered on his face, replied somewhat haughtily, "Maybe it’s because your brother here is just too handsome."

Bei Bei replied dismissively, "Brother, narcissism is a disease that needs to be cured." It was obvious that she was the cute one here.

Bao Bao stepped forward, got in front of Bei Bei, and cupped her little face, "Little classmate Bei Bei, are you having trouble with your eyesight? Take a good look; your brother here is so handsome it splits the heavens! Adored by everyone, flowers bloom at my sight, birds go still—don’t you understand the concept of appreciation?"

Bei Bei blinked her big, sparkling eyes helplessly, "Brother, with that attitude, you’ll never find a wife..."

Bao Bao gave Bei Bei a disapproving look, "Just you wait, I’ll find myself a dozen wives for you to see."

Facing such a narcissistic brother, all Bei Bei could do was shake her head helplessly.

Behind Huagui Park was a food street, and at this time, in the early evening, it was bustling and full of life.

Bei Bei took a deep sniff and then sighed, "That smells amazing. Bro, let’s go have something delicious."

Bao Bao stood on his tiptoes to look into the distance, then extended his hand to Bei Bei, "Sure, but you have to hold my hand tightly, little sister. Don’t get lost; it’s very crowded over there."

The ordinary world didn’t have much to boast about, except for the abundance of people and food.

"Okay," Bei Bei nodded and clasped Bao Bao’s hand tightly.

The siblings walked forward, hand in hand.

There was a lot to eat on the food street. Bei Bei stood in front of a barbecue stall, drooling over the sight of skewered locusts on the plate, "Brother, I want to eat this! It looks so tasty." In the Superpower World, Bei Bei had never seen grilled locusts, centipedes, scorpions...

Bao Bao couldn’t help but shiver, "Is this actually edible?"

Bei Bei looked at him curiously, "Brother, didn’t you catch the delicious smell?"

Bao Bao shook his head, all he could sense was a feeling of shock; these people really knew how to eat, not even sparing insects...

Would there be anything left for the little birds to live on?

" Uncle vendor, I want five skewers of locusts, five skewers of scorpions," Bei Bei said, tiptoeing to talk to the stall owner.

The vendor responded quickly, grabbing ten skewers to grill and asked with a smile, "Do you want chili, little friend?"

Bei Bei nodded, "Uncle, I want it super spicy, thank you."

"And what about you, little friend?" the vendor asked Bao Bao.

Bao Bao immediately stepped back, waving his hands, "I’m not eating that."

He had no intention of competing with the birds for food.

The vendor, still smiling, said, "Are you two from the same family? Why aren’t there any adults following you? Did you sneak out?"

Bei Bei nodded, "Yeah, Uncle, my brother and I are twins. We’re already not little kids, so we don’t need adults to follow us."

These two little ones appear to be only four or five years old, with their babyish voices. Yet, they speak with the tone of adults, which made the barbecue stall owner’s smile widen even more.

"So, how old are you guys this year?"

Bei Bei stretched out four fingers on top of her head, "Uncle boss, we are now four years old, big kids already."

While they were talking, the barbecue was ready. The owner handed the skewers to Bei Bei, "Little friend, be careful, it’s hot."

"Thank you, uncle." Bei Bei tiptoed to receive the skewers, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Bao Bao was inwardly criticizing, no wonder people say women are the most complex creatures in the world...

It turns out, there’s some truth to that statement.

Walking along and snacking, the siblings were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

A college-aged couple approached Bao Bao and Bei Bei, smiling and asked, "Little brother, little sister, did you get separated from your family? Do you need us to take you to your mom and dad?"

In this world, there are always more good people than bad ones.

On their way, Bao Bao and Bei Bei had already encountered quite a few warm-hearted passersby.

Bao Bao very politely replied, "Thank you, brother and sister, no need, we are out playing by ourselves."

The college couple smiled, "That’s good, if you get lost you can tell me and sister here, we can help you find your mom and dad."

Bao Bao nodded, "Thank you, brother and sister."

Watching the backs of Bao Bao and Bei Bei, the girl said with envy, "These two little friends are really cute, their parents must be very good-looking too."

The boy looked tenderly at the girl’s profile, "In the future, our children will definitely be as cute as them."

The girl rested her head on the boy’s shoulder, her eyes twinkling with longing and happiness.

Children are like a poison; once you come into contact with them, you can’t wait to have one of your own.

While Bao Bao and Bei Bei were enjoying food and drinks in the food street, Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan were having a couple’s world at home.

Mo Zhixuan even set a romantic mood by lighting candles on the dining table and decorating with roses.

Ever since having Bao Bao and Bei Bei, the couple rarely had such peaceful moments. Right now, Mo Zhixuan was not only not worried about Bao Bao and Bei Bei but was also hoping they would come back later, otherwise, they would disturb them.

"Jin, dinner’s ready," Mo Zhixuan called out, removing his apron.

"Coming." Chu Jin was watching today’s entertainment news, heard him, pressed the pause button on the TV, and walked towards the dining area.

Seeing the roses and candles on the table, Chu Jin was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Mo Zhixuan, you’re really something!"

A seemingly cold person actually has quite a few tricks up his sleeve!

Mo Zhixuan put the steak and wine on the table, looked up at Chu Jin with a meaningful gaze, and pronounced a few words with depth, "Of course, I’m capable!"

Chu Jin: "..." Why did she feel there was something off about that sentence?

Seeing Chu Jin daydreaming, the corners of Mo Zhixuan’s mouth lifted in a faint smile, "Alright, let’s eat."

Chu Jin took out a tablet, sat down in a chair, "Before we eat, let’s see what Bao Bao and Bei Bei are up to." Chu Jin’s fingers were swiftly moving over the tablet, and soon after, the screen showed two little figures sitting in front of a humble street stall eating.

Mo Zhixuan leaned in, looking at the image of his daughters on the tablet, smiling, "They really aren’t picky at all." Eating so happily.

Chu Jin put away the tablet, "Let’s hurry and eat, then go find them."

"Find them for what?" Mo Zhixuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "They can’t get lost. How about instead, we take this time to do something meaningful?"

Chu Jin frowned slightly, "What meaningful thing?"

Mo Zhixuan smiled mysteriously, "Guess?"

Chu Jin: "..." There’s no way to have a proper conversation today.

Meanwhile on the food street, Bao Bao and Bei Bei were eating as if there was no end—after finishing one thing, they moved on to the next...

Bei Bei glanced at the sky, "Brother, it’s getting late, should we head back now?"

Bao Bao’s mouth was stuffed full, "No hurry, no hurry, dad and mom’s couple time has just started, if we go back now, we’ll disturb them."

Bei Bei thought about it and felt there was some sense in her brother’s words, so she replied with a tilted head, "Then let’s go play over there."

"Mhm." Bao Bao nodded.

The two little ones headed in another direction. This street was mostly shops selling clothing and accessories, so there weren’t many people around.

"There’s a teddy bear!" Bao Bao pointed at a toy store, shouting excitedly.

Bei Bei glanced at the toy store and said helplessly, "Brother, you’re just a child at heart." How old are you, still playing with teddy bears?

Though she said that, Bei Bei still accompanied Bao Bao to choose a very cute teddy bear to take home.

The siblings strolled leisurely down the street.

On the opposite side, a group of children surrounded one spot, and such voices could be heard, "Bastard! Born unclaimed by anyone, you have no right to play with us!"

"My mom said your mom is a vixen! A vixen that seduces men!"

"Country bumpkin!"

The little girl trapped in their midst looked lonely and helpless, rubbing her eyes and whimpering softly.

She was but a three or four-year-old child, how could she withstand such insults?

"My mom is not a vixen! She’s the best mom in the world!" Despite being scared, the little girl tried her best to defend her mother.

"Not a vixen?" Another child said arms crossed, "If she’s not a vixen, where did you come from? To put it nicely, you’re just a bastard, to speak unpleasantly, you’re an illegitimate child! What, feeling wronged as an illegitimate daughter, huh?"

"Your mom has no shame! Destroying other people’s families! My mom said that in the old days, people like your mom would be drowned in a pig cage! Vixen! Mistress!"

All the children were pointing at the little girl and cursing her.

"It’s not true! It’s not like that!" The little girl pushed back against the ringleader, her face streaked with tears, "My mom isn’t like that! You can’t just make things up!"

The little girl wasn’t tall, about three or four years old, and the children encircling her were aged 6 to 8. She was no match for so many.

She was quickly shoved back, "You little bastard, your mom did so many shameless things, and now you dare to talk back? Dare to push me! Let’s see if I don’t teach you a lesson today!"

All the children swarmed in, pushing the girl to the ground, a mix of insults and crying — the scene was heart-wrenching to witness.

Violence doesn’t just happen in schools!

It happens right beside the children.

"Stop it!" A clear and pleasant child’s voice filled the air, "Didn’t your mommies teach you that you can’t bully people just like that?"

Bao Bao marched up to them indignantly and spoke righteously.

His voice was tinged with a special mystique, clearly reaching each child’s ears.

The children stopped, all turning to look at Bao Bao and Bei Bei. The ringleader spoke up, "What’s it to you? Didn’t your mom tell you not to be a busybody?"

Bao Bao crossed his arms, glaring at them, "Sorry, my mom only taught me to stand up for what’s right. You bullying her is the wrongdoing! Apologize to this little sister right away!"

"Like you can talk about standing up for what’s right?" The ringleader took one look at Bao Bao, disdain flashing in his eyes, then gave a slight nod of his head.

Immediately, two children moved towards Bei Bei.

Bao Bao still had his arms crossed, facing the two menacing children without the slightest trace of fear, his large eyes even sparkling with excitement.

Today, he would finally get a good workout, and with living targets, no less.

As the two children stretched out their hands to hit Bao Bao, he simply lifted his hand gently, nimbly moved behind them, one hand on each of their heads, and lightly tapped.

The two of them immediately fell to the ground, crying out in pain.

The remaining children looked at each other in disbelief.

"You two are so useless!" The ringleader scolded the two fallen children, "I’m not playing with you guys anymore!"

Bao Bao gestured to them with a crooked finger, "Come at me altogether." He looked just like a little overlord!

The ringleader was immediately enraged, "You little weasel! Don’t you cry later!"

All the children charged towards Bao Bao and Bei Bei.

Bao Bao’s lips slowly curved into a smile, his eyes reflecting the increasing number of opponents. With a leap, he started to weave among them, touching their acupoints with light taps.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

One after another, the children fell to the ground.

The scene was lively, like a movie, and somewhat thrilling.

"You! Just you wait! Dare to bully me! You’re finished! Just wait for me! I’m going to get my mom right now!" The ringleader got up from the ground, pointing at Bei Bei in anger.

Bao Bao fearlessly said, "Go on, go find your mom!"

What a little chicken, can’t win so he runs home to find mommy.

"You just wait!" The spoiled brat cried as he ran off into the distance.

The remaining children saw the boss run away, and they too ran off.

Why wouldn’t they run? Stay here and wait to get beaten up?

Bei Bei glanced at the surveillance camera above the street and then calmly took out a tablet computer, lightly swiped a few times, and the image on the computer turned into the view from the surveillance camera.

"This firewall is way too low," Bei Bei curled the corners of her mouth.

Bao Bao immediately went to the little girl’s side, stretched out a hand to help her up, "Little sister, are you okay?"

The little girl was still sobbing, "My mom... my mom... she’s really not a vixen..."

"There there," Bao Bao gently hugged the little girl, comforting her, "Don’t cry, I believe you, all the moms in the world are the best moms."

The little girl continued to sob intermittently, raised her eyes to look at Bao Bao, and asked hoarsely, "Big brother, do you really believe my mom is a good mom?"

Bao Bao nodded his head, "Mm, I believe it!"

The little girl wiped away her tears, "Big brother, thank you."

"Stop crying," Bao Bao patted the little girl’s shoulder, very gently speaking, "My dad says a girl’s tears are the most precious thing in this world, better to bleed than to weep!"

The little girl nodded, yet she couldn’t stop her tears, with a beautiful face weeping like a little calico cat.

Bao Bao took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the little girl’s tears, "Stop crying, look, such a nice face, how ugly it looks when you cry, if someone bullies you again in the future, you fight back, if you can’t beat them, then you run, and if you can’t escape, you scream for help, there are many good people around here, girls, must learn how to protect themselves! You can’t let others bully you foolishly!"

"What if I yell for help and no one saves me?" the little girl raised her eyes to Bao Bao.

It was then that Bao Bao noticed the little sister had a pair of very beautiful eyes, bright and shiny, like crystal-clear large grapes, twinkling, like dazzling diamonds.

This little sister is really adorable.

"Then you must find a way to become strong! Only when you are powerful will no one dare to bully you!" Bao Bao took out an old book from his body and handed it to the little girl, "This is a set of boxing techniques that are very suitable for girls to learn, take a look, although it’s not any unique secret, it’s still okay for self-defense."

The little girl bit her lip, "But my mom told me that good children shouldn’t just take things from others."

It’s clear that this is a child with excellent upbringing.

Bao Bao’s big eyes gently twinkled, then he extended his hand towards the little girl, "My name is Mo Jingxing, my nickname is Bao Bao, everyone calls me Brother Bao, I’m four years old, glad to meet you."

"My name is Xi Zhixia, you can call me Xia Xia." Xi Zhixia reached out and took Bao Bao’s hand.

Bao Bao patted his chest, "Just call me Brother Bao, from now on we are friends."

Xi Zhixia nodded, revealing a rare smile, "Brother Bao."

Bao Bao stuffed the ancient book into Xia Xia’s hands, "Now that we are friends, you can take this book."

Xi Zhixia nodded very seriously, "Thank you, Brother Bao."

Bao Bao waved his hands, "No problem at all." Books like these, they use them to prop up table legs at his house...

"By the way, this is my sister, Chu Ge, her nickname is Bei Bei, you can just call her Sister Bei." Bao Bao then introduced Bei Bei to Xi Zhixia.

Bei Bei had just finished editing the video, looked up at Xi Zhixia and extended her hand like an adult, smilingly saying, "Nice to meet you, Xia Xia, better to call me Brother Bei."

She wanted to be a "big brother" like her mom.

Xi Zhixia hesitated a bit, then called out, "Brother Bei."

Bao Bao then said, "Xia Xia, where is your home? Let Bei Bei and I walk you back."

Xi Zhixia shook her head, "Thank you, but there’s no need, I can go back by myself."

"We should still walk you home," Bao Bao insisted.

Since Bei Bei was a girl, and he was a boy, as a boy, he should have some gentlemanly demeanor!

"Thank you, Brother Bao." Xi Zhixia did not refuse anymore.

Conveniently, Xia Xia’s home was also in Huagui Park.

"Xia Xia, you live here too?" Bao Bao said excitedly.

Xi Zhixia nodded, "Yes, Brother Bao, do you also live here?"

Bao Bao nodded again, "Yes, yes, we really are fated!"

However, Xi Zhixia’s home was in the 208th villa, which was quite a distance away from number 78.

When they reached the entrance of Xi Zhixia’s villa, Bao Bao and Bei Bei stopped, "Go ahead inside, I’m only taking you this far, if those bad kids bother you tomorrow, you don’t need to say anything, my sister has already taken care of it."
