Liu Nanfeng woke up in the morning to find the person beside him gone. He turned to look out the window, and the sun was already high in the sky.
He stretched and sat up, got out of bed, and walked out of the room yawning.
Although his physical condition had greatly improved, dealing with two "demon girls" continuously still left him feeling exhausted.
Therefore, he decided to continue researching that aphrodisiac pill today, find a way to remove its side effects as soon as possible, and if that didn't work, he would at least decipher its information and meaning, giving himself a perpetual kidney machine. With that, what was there to fear from "demons and ghosts"? No matter how many came, he would defeat them all.
As soon as Liu Nanfeng stepped out, he saw Gugu running towards him with a ball.
"Gugu."
"Good morning." Liu Nanfeng reached out and patted her little head.
Gugu had not returned to Guanshanhai last night; she had stayed at Liu Nanfeng's home overnight.
Although Liu Nanfeng's house was not large, it had four bedrooms and two living rooms. Of the four bedrooms, besides the master bedroom and study, the other two guest rooms were occupied by Su Huamei long-term, and the remaining one was reserved for Liu Nanfeng's parents when they visited.
However, they rarely came here, so it was tidied up and designated as Gugu's room.
Although Gugu couldn't speak, Su Jinxiu and Su Huamei both liked this well-behaved little girl, and there was also pity for her.
"Gugu."
Gugu held up the small ball in her hand. The little girl really liked this ball. Ever since Little Carp had given it to her, she had been inseparable from it, carrying it wherever she went.
"Not now, I need to brush my teeth and wash my face."
Gugu was very obedient. Upon hearing this, she immediately retracted her hand.
However, when Liu Nanfeng went to the washroom, she followed him to the washroom.
As Liu Nanfeng brushed his teeth and washed his face, she sat obediently nearby, holding her ball and watching.
This made Liu Nanfeng feel helpless.
"Gugu, come here, I'll play with you." Su Huamei, who had already woken up, called out with a smile.
Gugu, seeing that someone would play with her, turned and left.
"Husband, are you coming to the coffee shop with us today?" Su Jinxiu asked during breakfast.
"No, I have an appointment with Dundun today," Liu Nanfeng replied.
"Then Gugu, are you coming to the coffee shop with us, or going to see a friend with your Nanfeng brother?" Su Jinxiu then asked Gugu, who was eating breakfast.
Gugu looked up, glanced at Su Jinxiu, and then at Liu Nanfeng.
But before she could answer, Liu Nanfeng answered for her, "She'll come with me."
Since Liu Nanfeng said so, Su Jinxiu said no more. Gugu also wanted to be with Liu Nanfeng.
Because of [Guanshanhai], she was inexplicably more drawn to Liu Nanfeng.
After breakfast, Liu Nanfeng took Gugu out. Of course, she had hidden her large wings. Now, she looked no different from an ordinary little girl, even a bit cuter.
However, they didn't go to Zhan Zhongxiao's place immediately. Instead, they went to the supermarket first and bought a lot of hot pot ingredients. Of course, they also bought a lot of snacks for Gugu.
In addition, there was a blue plush puppy doll, which Gugu liked very much, making her particularly happy.
After buying the items, they drove Gugu to Zhan Zhongxiao's residence.
Zhan Zhongxiao was already waiting for them downstairs.
Of course, he didn't know Gugu would come; he was mainly waiting for Liu Nanfeng.
"This is..."
"I adopted her, her name is Gugu now." Liu Nanfeng patted Gugu's little head.
Gugu hid behind Liu Nanfeng, clutching his clothes, a little afraid of Zhan Dundun. She also recognized Zhan Dundun.
And due to the natural instincts of animals, the suppression from a higher lineage made her feel danger. After all, "bear" was in the name of the panda, making it one of the top predators.
"Hello." Zhan Dundun smiled and waved at Gugu.
It was better if he didn't wave, but as soon as he waved, Gugu was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her neck, hiding behind Liu Nanfeng and trembling.
"Am I that scary?" Zhan Dundun said speechlessly.
"Don't be afraid, this is my friend Zhan Zhongxiao. You can call him Brother Zhan," Liu Nanfeng said, putting an arm around her and comforting her softly.
Perhaps because Liu Nanfeng was by her side, she mustered the courage to peek out at Zhan Zhongxiao again.
Zhan Dundun's chubby face broke into a kind smile.
"Your Brother Zhan, his true form is a giant panda. Do you know what a giant panda is?"
Hearing "giant panda," Gugu's eyes lit up. It seemed she knew what giant pandas were.
"He's a panda spirit that transformed into a human. Look, isn't he chubby?" Liu Nanfeng said, poking Zhan Dundun's belly, which felt bouncy.
Zhan Dundun displeasedly batted his hand away.
"Gugu~"
Seeing this, Gugu's eyes seemed to sparkle with joy. She was no longer so scared and even walked out from behind Liu Nanfeng.
"Let's not stand here. Let's go inside," Zhan Zhongxiao said.
He was still carrying a bag, which contained beer and juice drinks he had just bought downstairs, prepared for the hot pot lunch.
He opened the bag and took out a bottle of juice, handing it to Gugu.
Gugu saw this and shrank back behind Liu Nanfeng, then looked up at him.
"Take it, thank you, Brother Zhan."
Upon hearing this, Gugu reached out and took it. She then looked up and quietly gurgled at Zhan Zhongxiao.
As Liu Nanfeng pulled Gugu along towards Zhan Dundun's house, he said, "I've come this time also because of her. I want to ask for your help."
"Help?" Zhan Dundun looked displeased.
"What's with that expression? It's just a small favor. It's only because it's you that I'm asking. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't."
"I'm so honored? So I should thank you?" Zhan Dundun said, somewhat speechless.
He found that every time Liu Nanfeng asked for help, it was never for anything good. He had to work and exert himself, and he was force-fed dog food, which was truly annoying.
"You're welcome," Liu Nanfeng said indifferently.
Zhan Zhongxiao: ...
He had a new understanding of Liu Nanfeng's thick skin. Was this why he married his wife? Or two?
This made him reflect.
"Alright, I'm just kidding. I've come to ask for a small matter."
"Let's hear it first." Zhan Dundun felt that not a single word he said could be trusted.
"I want you to help Gugu find her parents," Liu Nanfeng said.
Actually, he had already searched online but found nothing, so he came to find a professional like Zhan Dundun.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Dundun glanced at Gugu, who was following behind, and then asked softly, "Shouldn't there be information on missing persons websites?"
"No, that's why I'm coming to you. And it was twenty-five years ago. The illusion last time was actually Gugu's real memory."
Zhan Dundun recalled the scene in the laboratory last time when they were trapped in an illusion.
"Since Gugu can pull us into her memory illusion, have you ever thought about finding her parents through her memory illusion?" Zhan Dundun pondered.
Liu Nanfeng: ...
"Damn it, how could I be so stupid? I didn't think of that." Liu Nanfeng himself felt quite speechless.
"Indeed, not very clever," Zhan Dundun nodded seriously.
He certainly wouldn't pass up such a good opportunity to tease.
