Chapter 17
"Good morning."
Huo Chengyuan was stunned, almost thinking that he had an auditory hallucination, but the little elf standing in his palm opened his small mouth again, and uttered some blunt but very clear words softly.
"Good morning."
Yes, it is indeed "Good morning". Although the pronunciation is awkward, it is undoubtedly a human language - it can speak human language!
Even knowing that this kind of thing is completely possible to happen to the highly intelligent little Flower Immortal, Huo Chengyuan is still a little unbelievable, this little Flower Immortal has brought him too many surprises and shocks: "How did you learn it?Do you know human language?"
Little Flower Immortal shook his head, "it" pointed at Huo Chengyuan, and said it again, this time it was obviously more fluent and natural than before——
"Good morning."
Huo Chengyuan understood: he said "good morning" just now, and little Flower Immortal was imitating himself to say this word.
But even if it is pure imitation, this kind of learning ability is very powerful for non-human creatures. In time, this little Flower Immortal will have no problem communicating with humans smoothly.
"Can you speak other words?" Huo Chengyuan asked.
Ye Bai thought for a while and said another word.
"The creek—the creek."
This is Huo Mingxi's nickname, he heard Huo Chengyuan say it several times, because it's a refrain, relatively easy to pronounce, Ye Bai pronounced it out very smoothly.
Huo Chengyuan was stunned, and there was some anticipation in his tone unconsciously: "Do you know what my name is?"
Before Ye Bai could answer, he had already given the answer directly.
"Huo Chengyuan." He stared at the little Flower Immortal in front of him without blinking, and deliberately slowed down his speech, "Huo, Cheng, Yuan, this is my name."
That's how the protagonist's name is pronounced.Ye Bai suddenly realized.
Although he knew Huo Chengyuan's name from the book, he had never heard it read out in the real world. After all, the other party was a duke, and few people would call a duke by his full name directly.
Ye Bai saw the hidden expectation in Huo Chengyuan's eyes, the other party probably hoped that he could pronounce his master's name just like he pronounced Xi Xi's name.A pet that responds to its owner's expectations is a good pet, but... his name is really a mouthful!
Ye Bai bit the bullet and opened his mouth, trying to repeat Huo Chengyuan's name.
It's a pity that his brain has learned and his ears understand, but his mouth says that he can't do it at all, and his pronunciation changes when he opens his mouth. Even if Huo Chengyuan taught him patiently several times, Ye Bai's stuttering words are still completely different.
Ye Bai: Speaking is so difficult!woo woo woo.
Seeing the little Flower Immortal lowered his head in frustration, the little pointed ears and the little wings drooping listlessly, Huo Chengyuan was a little regretful, but he didn't show it on his face. He gently rubbed the little Flower Immortal's head with his fingertips to comfort him.road.
"It's fine if you can't read it, don't force it, there is still a long time, I will teach you slowly."
He walked to the other side of the glass castle and removed a silver dome covering it, revealing the delicate dining chairs and small plates inside.
"Let's have breakfast first."
Ye Bai poked his head to look, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Today's food is still served in the small food cup, and the small chair he sat on was the same as yesterday.There is a small bowl and plate, just the right size for Ye Bai.
Ye Bai flew over, picked up the small spoon in amazement, and found that it seemed to be made of bamboo, as if it had been cut out bit by bit with tools, because he saw some obvious carving marks.
"This is a small tableware that the people in the kitchen made for you." Huo Chengyuan explained, "They are not very good at making this kind of thing, so the workmanship is a bit rough. If you are not used to it, I will find a professional to order it for you.set."
Ye Bai immediately shook his head, kissed the small spoon in his hand, and smiled, expressing that he was very satisfied with the set of tableware.
In fact, he still wants a pair of small chopsticks. Unfortunately, people in this world don't seem to use this kind of tableware. Well, I will have a chance to make a pair by myself in the future!
Today's breakfast is still nectar, mixed with large grains of fruit pulp and sweet milk, the tempting taste aroused Ye Bai's eager appetite, he swallowed hard, but he was not in a hurry to do anything, but looked eagerly at Huo Chengyuan.
Huo Chengyuan quickly understood the meaning of Little Flower Immortal, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "I've already had breakfast, don't worry about me, you can eat quickly."
Ye Bai: "..." Who cares about you?I want to say, can you stop watching me eat...
Ye Bai suddenly thought again: Huo Chengyuan went back to the bedroom after eating breakfast in the restaurant?He didn't make a special trip to wait for me to wake up, and wanted to watch me eat live, right?
...Ha, haha, what am I thinking, how can such a big protagonist be so boring.
Ye Bai brushed away the messy thoughts in his head, no longer cared about Huo Chengyuan, and started to eat with all his heart.He scooped up the nectar milk with a spoon, and used a small fork to fork up large pieces of fruit, and he ate it deliciously, hehe, it was so delicious!
Huo Chengyuan sat with arms folded, staring at the little Flower Immortal who used tableware like a human without blinking.
Huo Mingxi had already sent him the video of Little Flower Immortal's meal yesterday, Huo Chengyuan watched it several times, and even vaguely felt the joy of watching food and broadcasting.Today he made a special trip to wait here, just to make up for yesterday's shortcoming: it doesn't make sense that everyone else has watched it, but he, the person closest to Little Ye, can only watch the broadcast.
Facts have proved that the live broadcast is indeed better than the live broadcast, 360 degrees without dead ends, and even the small sound of little Flower Immortal snoring when drinking nectar can be heard. Huo Chengyuan watched it intently, thinking that the little Flower Immortal was cute and interesting while eating,No matter how you look at it, you can't get tired of it.
Ye Bai ate the last drop of nectar, leaned on the back of the chair contentedly, and rubbed his little belly.Huo Chengyuan saw that there was a white circle around the opponent's lips, which was the milk stain left by drinking milk. He took a handkerchief and leaned over to wipe the corner of Little Flower Immortal's mouth.
Ye Bai was sitting lazily and comfortably, when a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, although he quickly realized that it was Huo Chengyuan who was wiping the corners of his mouth, but——
stop stop stop!This is not wiping your mouth, it has become a face wiping!
Ye Bai pushed away the handkerchief in disgust, flew back to the small pond in the glass castle, washed his face and hands with clean water, and there was another clean little Flower Immortal.He deliberately took off a petal, and wiped his small mouth in front of Huo Chengyuan.
Look!This is the small handkerchief that the little Flower Immortal can use, the human one is too big for me!
Huo Chengyuan couldn't help but nodded, "It's because I didn't think carefully."
He picked up the small plates on the table, handed them to the maid outside the door, and then returned to the room, and said to Ye Bai.
"I'm going out for a trip, do you want to come with me?"
Little Flower Immortal looked up at him with a noncommittal look.
"I want to help you buy some things. Rather than me making my own decisions, maybe you would rather choose by yourself." Huo Chengyuan paused, then stretched out his hand to Little Flower Immortal as if inviting him to dance, and asked again, "Want to go together?"?"
Of course!
Ye Bai happily jumped into the man's palm, Huo Chengyuan smiled slightly, and left the room with his little Flower Immortal.
Ye Bai followed Huo Chengyuan, and got on the star shuttle car from yesterday again.
Before setting off, Huo Chengyuan consulted Ye Bai's opinion, asking if "it" needs to stay in the birdcage when it goes out - this will restrict the freedom of the little Flower Immortal, but the advantage is that it is very safe.
Ye Bai agreed without hesitation: He is cherishing his life now, a short imprisonment is not as important as a second life, not to mention that Huo Chengyuan is now on the cusp, the siege outside the wedding church yesterday may happen again at any time, heOf course, it is safer to stay in a sturdy birdcage.
But in the relatively safe space of the car, Ye Bai didn't stay in the birdcage, but still flew around as he pleased.
When he returned to the Duke's Mansion yesterday, he was asleep and saw nothing. Now that the car drove out, Ye Bai, who was looking out through the rear window, finally saw the whole picture of the Duke's Mansion clearly——
This is a large mansion comparable to a castle. After several generations of inheritance, it has accumulated a profound heritage of a famous family. The main building is surrounded by fountains, grasslands, and gardens.See the preferences and style of the current owner.
The vehicle drove all the way, and soon entered the urban area. Today is the weekend, and the streets in the urban area are full of traffic, and the crowds are crowded with each other, which is very lively.Ye Bai took a closer look, and found that there are many high-rise buildings here, full of sense of technology, and most of the people are dressed in modern clothes. He recalled yesterday's wedding scene, most of the guests were wearing court dresses, maybe on a specific occasion in this countryAmong them, the court dress can better highlight their aristocratic identity and status.
Not long after, the vehicle drove into an underground parking lot in a high-end business district, until it came to a slow stop.
Huo Chengyuan looked at the little Flower Immortal, Ye Bai immediately got into the open birdcage very consciously - this is not the one he used yesterday, but a new one, decorated inside, planted like a glass castleThere are verdant plants, shell beds for rest, and built-in dark curtains, which Yebai can choose to put down or not.
Ye Bai has no plans to pull down the curtain at the moment, he is full of curiosity about the world here, and wants to take this opportunity to observe the outside environment more.
Considering that the place where he was about to go was crowded, Huo Chengyuan didn't want to cause a commotion, so he specially put on a black mask, and then got out of the car with the birdcage.Although he was accompanied by a servant, he did not hand over the birdcage to the servant, but carried it himself and entered the VIP elevator leading upstairs.
With a "ding", the elevator stopped at the top floor.When the elevator door opened, the first thing Ye Bai heard was the children's laughter. When he saw the scene outside the elevator door clearly, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
This is... a toy store?
