Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

Ji Ming remained silent and looked at Qi Qi.

Qi Qi remained silent and stared at Ji Ming.

Hu Tao raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Ji Ming and Qi Qi.

Got it. Work hard, and then I'll bring home a daughter I didn't have.

No way! How can that be called working diligently?

Hmph, when Sister Keqing and Sister Ganyu teach Ji Ming a lesson, Hu Tao won't speak up for him unless he pours her tea and massages her shoulders and back.

After helping Qiqi get dressed, Hu Tao frowned, picked up the little zombie girl's hat, looked at the seal decoration on the hat, and muttered, "Something just doesn't look right to me."

Ji Ming stood by the bed, took off the hair tie from his wrist, and gestured as he discussed which hairstyle he should give Hu Tao. He replied, "What do you not like?"

"I'm referring to this little note."

Hu Tao raised the sealing decoration and shook it, then looked at Qi Qi, where the little zombie girl was sitting in her lap, lost in thought.

Ji Ming glanced at it briefly and said with a grin, "What, didn't you always go to catch Qiqi because of this thing before?"

Hu Tao, embarrassed and angry, revealed her little tiger teeth: "The past is the past, the present is the present."

Ji Ming played along perfectly, acting as the straight man: "Oh, oh, oh, I get it, I get it. The past is the past, the present is the present. Don't treat the past as the present."

"Damn it, how can you be so outstanding?"

Of course, my silly daddy is the best in the world.

Nestled in Hu Tao's arms, Qi Qi was lost in thought.

Ji Ming bit the hair tie, reached out and gently parted Hu Tao's hair, trying to tie it into a double ponytail hairstyle.

Feeling Ji Ming's clumsy movements, Hu Tao wanted to laugh: "Ji Ming, you really are a twin ponytail fetishist."

Ji Ming stared intently: "Slander, this is absolutely slander. I have always been a staunch supporter of the long hair to the waist principle."

Are you referring to Sister Gan Yu?

Hu Tao snorted and mercilessly exposed her: "What do you mean by long hair down to the waist? Every time Miss Ke Qing comes to visit, you always take a second look at her pigtails."

Ahem, we've actually been discovered. As expected of Lord Kurumi, you have such powerful observation skills, it's terrifying.

Ji Ming tried to cover it up: "There's no way around it, Keqing's cat head is just too eye-catching, you dare say you haven't seen it?"

Hu Tao said guiltily, "I only glanced at it a few times, definitely not as much as you did."

The familiar palm strike technique of mutual destruction—that's what arrogance is all about.

Ji Ming ignored Hu Tao and continued to study how to tie a hairstyle, trying to create the same hairstyle as Yu Hengxing, but he failed repeatedly.

Seeing that Ji Ming had no intention of continuing the argument, Hu Tao quickly lost interest and turned her attention to Qi Qi, only to find the little zombie girl writing in a small notebook.

"Hey, what is Qiqi doing?"

Qiqi's body trembled slightly. She covered the paper with her small hand and shook her head, saying, "No..."

Despite her curiosity being piqued, Hu Tao chose to respect Qi Qi's wishes and did not continue to inquire.

The past is the past, and the present is the present. Hu Tao doesn't want Qi Qi to dislike her, so she should respect Qi Qi's wishes and make the child closer to her.

What Hu Tao didn't notice was that Ji Ming paused for a moment.

From Ji Ming's perspective, Qi Qi didn't completely cover the paper. How could two small hands completely cover the writing? It's normal for a few words to be visible.

For example, there's that silly daddy, that silly walnut, that silly concubine...

Foolish concubine?

Ji Ming's eyes narrowed. He decided to have a serious talk with Doctor Bai Shu about the issue of family education.

Chapter 155 Heartbreaking Cotton-padded Jacket Little Qiqi

A heavy snow fell quietly last night, and the room was warm. Although there was no fire under the kang (a heated brick bed), the thickness of the quilts still kept out the cold.

The little zombie girl wasn't afraid of the cold, but at Walnut's request, she still wore a little tiger hat to keep her ears warm from the cold wind, making her look adorable.

Hu Tao held Qi Qi's left hand, and Ji Ming held Qi Qi's right hand. The two of them and the zombie girl left the central courtyard, their destination being Bu Bu Lu.

Dudu, who was carrying a shovel and preparing to clear the snow from the courtyard, was dumbfounded. She stared at the backs of the two people and the zombie girl, her rosy lips slightly parted, and her breath brought out a lot of mist.

After a long while, Sister Dudu adjusted her cotton hat, looking panicked: "Hey, hey, hey, you're pregnant so quickly? It's only been one night!"

Well, as it turns out, the winter winds do take away Sister Dodo's wisdom, and she becomes silly, completely failing to recognize Qiqi's identity.

Hearing the exclamations behind him, Ji Ming selectively ignored them, looked at Hu Tao whose cheeks were flushed, and grinned, "Why is your face red?"

Hu Tao said irritably, "It's cold."

Qiqi listened silently, then gripped Hu Tao's hand tightly, increasing the pressure slightly.

Feeling the coolness on the back of her hand, Hu Tao looked over in surprise. The blush on her face quickly faded, replaced by excitement and joy.

Ah Tao, you're too easy to please!

Just as Ji Ming was about to make a joke, he noticed that the little zombie girl was warming him up in the same way.

The little zombie girl's hands were ice-cold and did nothing to warm her up, but Ji Ming's heart was warmed beyond measure.

"Hey hey hey..."

Hearing Ji Ming's silly fatherly laughter, Hu Tao found it somewhat amusing and deliberately put on a stern face, saying, "Ji Ming, you're a lolicon!"

"Don't talk about the second brother, eldest brother."

"This sect leader is not a lolicon!"

Actually, he's a doting father; who wouldn't love a well-behaved daughter like Qiqi?

Anyone who dares to say they don't like it should be dragged out and buried immediately. Qiqi is so cute, who would dare not like her?

Hu Tao snorted and looked down at Qi Qi: "Are you hungry? You still need to eat breakfast, right?"

Qiqi bit her finger: "I don't know what to eat..."

Oh right, the little zombie girl has no sense of taste, so it doesn't matter to her what she eats.

Secretly regretting bringing up the topic, Hu Tao looked up and asked, "Shall we go straight to Bubulu?"

Ji Ming didn't object: "So, Qiqi, do you want to eat breakfast?"

Hu Tao kicked Ji Ming's shin.

Why bring this up again? He's clearly Qiqi's stupid dad, yet he keeps bringing up this topic.

Ji Ming didn't speak, he just looked at Qi Qi and smiled.

Qiqi continued biting her finger: "Eat."

What to eat? I don't know. If my silly dad is eating, I'll eat the same thing. I'm happy to be with my silly dad. I'm happy to sleep together. I'm happy to sit and eat breakfast together.

As for idiot Walnut, he's just a side effect.

Ji Ming chuckled: "Qiqi is a good girl. We should give her the choice instead of making choices for her all the time."

Hu Tao stuck out her tongue: "That sounds nice, but Qi Qi definitely didn't want to be your daughter back then, but you still managed to trick her into coming back, didn't you?"

"No, that's not true! Qiqi willingly became my daughter, Atao, how could you slander me!"

Ignoring Ji Ming's excuses, Hu Tao looked at Qi Qi and asked softly, "Is that so, Qi Qi?"

Qiqi, looking rather dazed, thought for a long time before saying, "Qiqi was bought with a lollipop."

walnut:"?"

Ji Ming: "?!"

Qiqi added, "Daddy ate the lollipop, so Daddy owes Qiqi a lollipop."

Hu Tao shifted her gaze, her demeanor gradually turning fierce, revealing her small tiger teeth as she said, "Ji Ming, haven't you been locked up in jail in a long time?"

Ji Ming panicked: "I've been framed."

"I don't concern myself with such matters. If you have something to say, go and speak with Miss Yanfei!"

"Miss Yanfei isn't a judge."

"You wait, I'm going to complain to Miss Gan Yu and Miss Ke Qing and give you a good dressing down."

The two bantered and joked, while Qiqi listened quietly. In a pleasant atmosphere, they headed towards Wanmintang, where they ate at Huyan.

Wanmintang mainly serves lunch and dinner, but also provides breakfast, since no one would choose to eat breakfast at a place like Xinyuexuan.

With soy milk and fried dough sticks laid out, hot porridge and tofu pudding served, noodles, pancakes and meat buns are all available. Today, the little cook is still full of energy.

Xiangling poked her little head out, then was immediately shivering from the gust of cold wind. She quickly pulled her neck back, giggled twice, and then started calling out, "Wanmintang is now serving breakfast!"

"A bowl of tofu pudding, and two fried dough sticks, please. ... Oh, and add extra salt to the tofu pudding, Xiangling, you know my eating habits."

Xiangling smiled happily, looked over in the direction of the voice, and her words of welcome were stopped in shock: "Aming is here, I'll give you... Hey, isn't this Qiqi?"

Xiangling still remembers that a year ago, when she caught a minor cold, her father took her to Bubulu to buy medicine, and the little zombie girl Qiqi was the one who greeted her behind the counter.

What an unfamiliar combination! When did Amin start playing with Qiqi?

Xiangling was a little confused, so she continued to look to the left and saw Hu Tao making a face.
