Chapter 163 – Not Suitable
Next chap
"Will they be alright?" Shen Li didn't know why the two kids woke up with eye bags under their eyes but the two looked rather zoned out.
Even the always active Little Bun didn't make a fuss when Chen Mi told him that they were going out and to stay with their Uncle Zhu quietly.
Shen Li thought that he was dreaming when he saw Little Bun agree without even saying 'oou'. What exactly happened to the two of them that they were so out of it?
Even after leaving the house he was still worried about the two kids. Originally he was going to stay behind but then Ye Liu said that if the matters went out of hand he wanted someone rational enough to stop Yu Dong.
Among the three of them only Shen Li was rational and Yu Dong only listened to him because she was really soft against Shen Li's gentleness when compared to Ye Liu's bluntness and Chen Mi's spoiled bratty attitude.
"Zhu Qian will take good care of them." said Chen Mi although he looked quite worried himself. "The kids said that they will be fine. So I think they will be alright and Lang Ru is with them too, the two will be back to their spirits in no time."
"But still I wonder what happened? The two never acted like that?" Shen Li whose paternal feelings were deep couldn't help but be worried.
Ye Liu who was looking out of the carriage window turned his head and simply said. "Mai said that Dong Dong told him a bedtime story, it made him pee his bed."
Ye Liu was the only one was who willing to pamper Yu Mai to the extreme. Even though the other two also doted on him, Chen Mi who didn't want another Little Bun to be born was a bit strict.
And Shen Li was hard to get close to with that gentle persona of his so Ye Liu was Yu Mai's favourite and he would tell almost everything to his brother Liu.
The other too frowned, a bedtime story? It didn't sound as bad as they made it out to be right?
But then Ye Liu who understood what was going in their head smiled and added. "It was about zombies."
Ah, that explains it. They knew about Yu Dong a little now, they also knew that she came from a world where the humans were infected with a deadly virus and ended up becoming walking dead.
No wonder Yu Mai and Little Bun were scared, even they were scared when they first heard about it. But to Yu Dong -those zombies were positively cute!
She once mentioned that compared to living humans; zombies were better because they didn't make petty schemes behind others' backs!
Was there even any sense in this?
Given Yu Dong's EQ she might not have understood that Yu Mai and Little Bun Bun got scared because of her story. She still believed that it was because of the change in sleeping arrangements!
Yu Dong who was sitting outside the carriage could hear that her husbands were discussing the matter regarding the lack of sleep of the kids but the wind outside was too strong and the chatter of the crowd made it impossible for her to eavesdrop on their conversation.
This was the disadvantage of having a sensitive hearing she couldn't focus on just one person alone!
Yu Dong was unhappy she couldn't help but doubt whether her story was scary, she had clearly omitted all the gruesome details so how can it be scary?
She couldn't help but turn to Lang who was driving the carriage "Lang do you think a story of walking dead is scary?"
Lang had already heard the discussion that Yu Mai was having with her daughter.
He had complained to her daughter saying that the storytelling wasn't a good thing and she lied to him if she wasn't wrong her daughter was coaxing an angry Yu Mai when she left the house.
Lang was wondering how she should approach this matter but now that Yu Dong has asked it by herself, she could finally talk about it. "Actually, yes. Sister Yu I didn't know how to tell you this but such a thing is obviously very scary for even an adult much less a child. Children like to hear about cute things like rabbit and turtle kind of stories. I don't think they will like things like Zombies but of course your efforts should be appreciated. It's not easy to think of a random story."
Yu Dong whose 'only efforts can be appreciated': "…." I don't want it thanks.
Yu Dong who finally realised how bad her creative skills were immediately thought about buying a bunch of books to improve her storytelling skills and just like that a bunch of hellish days were lined up in front of Yu Mai and Little Bun.

"Here we are." Lang pulled the carriage to a stop in front of the tavern.
Yu Dong jumped down gracefully and surveyed the building in front of her. She had some idea about this famous tavern.
By the looks of it in just a few months the tavern took a turn for the worst. At least when the original owner used to come here things like having drugs and teasing mers happened inside the tavern but now- She scrunched up her nose and tsked in distaste it was no different than a low-class brothel.
She went around the carriage and stopped her husbands from coming down. She knew that they came here to help her but she might as well not let them see such disgusting things. "You three go to that tea house and ask around if there is a suitable spot where we can open our shop. Don't worry so much, I know what I am doing. I have thing covered here so you don't have to worry about me. Just do as I say."
Shen Li pursed his lips he didn't want to leave his wife but the tavern was really no longer a place where he and the other mers can enter. So he could only nod his head. "Mhm Wife, take care and leave if the tavern mistress make things difficult for you. Nothing is more important than your life."
He knew that his wife was doing this because she 'sympathizes' with Xiao Hua but he didn't want his wife to take unnecessary trouble for an unimportant man.
Yu Dong couldn't help but smile as she reached her hand to pat his head.. "Of course, I promise you."
