Quick Transmigration: The Big Shot Has Gone Crazy Again - Chapter 14
Chapter 14: Alas, Three Gluttons
Pei Ziqing received a lot of kindness from the woman.
But he didn’t understand.
How could there be such people in the world?
being kind to a stranger for no reason, and that too, to an ugly and unsightly mute.
He suddenly became curious about the extent of the woman’s tolerance for him.
With these thoughts in mind, he put down the chopsticks and, like a foolish beast, directly grabbed chunks of meat with both hands, quickly making a mess with oil all over his mouth, looking quite unappealing.
Nan Yuan:…
Xu Xiaotang tilted its head. “Squeak?”
Nan Yuan moved a few dishes toward the child and said, “Take your time to eat; these are for you and Xiaotang.”
Seeing this, Xu Xiaotang became anxious and squeaked, pointing at the dishes in front of Pei Ziqing.
Nan Yuan picked up each dish and gave it to Xu Xiaotang. Following the principle of a level playing field, she also gave some to the child.
It seemed like a competition between the two, each trying to outeat the other.
Seeing the two little ones enjoying their meal, Nan Yuan also took a few more bites herself.
She did have an appetite, but her stomach was large, and all the dishes on the table combined weren’t enough to fill the gaps in her teeth.
Eating seemed pointless; she might as well not eat.
Before long, all the dishes on the table were empty.
Xu Xiaotang licked its fur with its paws, still wanting more.
Pei Ziqing also licked the oil off his fingers, feeling like he could go for another three hundred rounds.
He had never been so full before, realizing for the first time how big his appetite was.
Nan Yuan also noticed.
Alas, it’s not a family if they don’t share a meal, and all three of them were… gluttons.
After the meal, a maid brought water for washing hands.
Nan Yuan glanced at the greasy little ones and distanced herself a bit.
“Rest now; I won’t keep you. You can sleep as much as you want; children grow taller by eating and sleeping more.”
Nan Yuan also liked to sleep, but she was always a light sleeper because if she slept too deeply, she might wake up decades later.
Pei Ziqing looked at her for a long time, respectfully bowed to her, took a few steps, then turned back to look at her.
The woman had already reclined on the soft couch, the ball-like fluffy spirit beast nestled in her arms, both lazily squinting.
Realizing he had stared for too long, Pei Ziqing quickly withdrew his gaze, hurriedly walked out, and carefully closed the door.
Not long after, Nan Yuan opened her eyes.
Ah, I forgot to tell the child something.
I hope the child won’t be suffocated to death.
Pei Ziqing was placed in a side room, very close to the city lord.
This night, the little freak, Pei Ziqing, couldn’t sleep.
Recalling the events of the day, he still had a feeling of being in a dream.
Clearly, in the morning, he was still in a beggar’s den, gnawing on hard bread and quenching his thirst with melted snow, feeling cold and sore all over.
He even noticed that his bones were misaligned.
He wondered if it was because the heavens took back his appearance, so they bestowed upon him an indestructible body that could heal no matter how many injuries he suffered.
Every time those people thought he was about to die, he endured and survived, living day by day, worse off than pigs and dogs.
Pei Ziqing harshly pinched himself.
It hurt; it wasn’t a dream.
Everything that happened today is real.
He touched the lump of flesh on his face, especially the one above his left eye.
still a little freak, not becoming more handsome.
He encountered a woman outside the snow-covered city who looked like a celestial being. She gave him a token and asked him to find her in the city lord’s mansion…
Now, he was lying here.
The room was very large and beautiful—a place he couldn’t even dream of. There was a charcoal fire burning and incense wafting, and the blanket was soft and warm.
Pei Ziqing wrapped himself in the blanket, curling up into a ball.
If this is a dream, he really wishes this dream could last a little longer.
Because this dream is truly too beautiful…
