Chapter 310: Chapter 277: The Reunion of the Two Little Ones

"Alright, alright, no crying, no crying."

He confirmed again—it was indeed his own child, no mistake there.

But when did Bai Yi start acting so aloof?

"Little Bai, where have you been all this time? Were you alone? Do you know where Shi Shi and Mom are?"

Catching him off guard, Bai Yi took the opportunity to wipe her runny nose on Jiang Xiao’s clothes and then spoke.

"I don’t know, I don’t know anything. After eating sweet potato porridge that day, I fell asleep, and then I found myself in a strange place. The people there don’t smile; they’re all expressionless like wooden dolls, I was almost scared to death."

"Did you get hungry?"

"Not..." It seemed like something occurred to Bai Yi, and she shook her head vigorously: "No, no, no, I did, I did! The food they gave me was also weird, they made me eat grass!"

Eat grass?

Jiang Xiao took another careful look.

Though his clothes were tattered...

It was mostly from scrapes, and the clothes were clearly not dirty, just that he smelled bad.

Not to mention rosy-cheeked, at the very least, he wasn’t as pale and skinny as Mu Xitang had been.

So...

Besides being scared and not having taken a bath, Bai Yi didn’t seem to have been treated too badly?

Kaidan described Bai Yi as being aloof.

Perhaps it was purely because the people there had no expressions, like wooden dolls?

Eating grass every day surrounded by expressionless people, it’d be hard for Bai Yi not to become aloof...

Analog Horror: "I say, if you two want to hug and cuddle, it’s not too late to go outside."

Jiang Xiao nodded at it and then led Bai Yi out of the space.

...

Today.

Blue Star exploded with several big pieces of news.

Apart from one exception, the rest were all about Jiang Xiao.

Trending topic number one:

Stunning the entire Blue Star! The god of Dragon Country, Jiang, appears with another mysterious child!

Trending topic number two:

Jiang, truly the father of the mystic, called ’the cryptic papa’ of Blue Star!

Trending topic number three:

Just asking, what does ’cryptic papa’ mean? Why does everyone use a side-eye laughter emoticon when they mention this term?

Trending topic number four:

Shock! Yinghua Xiaoya successfully completes a challenge only to mysteriously disappear!

Trending topic four:

Why do I feel more and more like Jiang Xiao is a living cryptic being...

The remaining six days were all about Bai Yi.

It’s expected that some aunts and uncles would soon split into two factions, forming Xi Tang fans and Bai Yi fans.

Trending...

A total of ten hot topics, and not even one about this time’s Kaidan summary.

That surely troubled Chief Wang, who was preparing for the usual summary meeting.

The summary work reports he typically copied were from the hot takes in the trending searches.

Now they were gone.

...

Whether on all major platforms’ trending searches or short videos, the words "Jiang" and "Bai Yi" dominated the rankings.

Seeing Bai Yi, no one was happier than Mu Xitang.

The two grew up in the same village and even acknowledged the same person, Sun Wei, as their mother.

Although they used to bicker and get under each other’s skin fighting for headcounts,

Ever since Jiang Xiao became their dad, their relationship had grown incredibly close.

Perhaps eating grass had filled the child with grievance.

Coming to Blue Star for the first time, Bai Yi ate even more fiercely than Mu Xitang did at first.

Rolling up her sleeves, she went at it with gusto.

Leaving the old chiefs in the cafeteria utterly dumbfounded.

Old Li was so perplexed he smoked three bags of dry tobacco, secretly wondering if this little girl’s stomach contained some mystic artifact that could store an unlimited amount of food.

In just this short span of time,

Bai Yi had already devoured two large bamboo steamers of meat buns.

These weren’t the bite-sized xiaolongbao, but the big steamed buns from the military canteen, each larger than an adult’s palm.

Thick skin, rich filling!

A normal young soldier couldn’t finish 5, yet one steamer contained 24.

Otherwise, the chiefs wouldn’t have lost their composure...

And they were stuffed with pork filling, wasn’t she getting sick of it?

The older generation could only miserably keep their silence, internally calculating how much longer this girl could eat.

The younger generation, meanwhile, each raised their cellphones.

Live broadcast!

"Huff" a big bite!

The palm-sized bun was half gone in just one bite from Bai Yi.

It was swallowed whole without even seeming to be chewed.

The only evidence of the bun’s existence was the meat juice splattered on Xiao Bai’s face.

Her little hands were sticky and greasy.

It seemed that calling the pink fuzzball "gluttonous" by the people from the military compound might have been a bit presumptuous...

Xiao Bai was now in a state that screamed "keep away from me."

She ate one after another without making a sound.

Really, it was scary!

Who knew if she would eat people?!!

"More... more... burp~ Give me water, I want water," Bai Yi tried to say something but choked.

"Nuonuo nuonuo, I have it!"

Mu Xitang handed her milk bottle to Bai Yi.

Ever since Little Pink emerged from the Analog Horror, she had taken to drinking milk from a bottle, not liking straws anymore.

"Gulp gulp gulp~~~"

She opened her mouth wide and guzzled down ferociously!

"Burp~"

Finally, Bai Yi, having finished the milk, let out a satisfied belch.

Everyone sighed in relief, the child was finally full.

"Um, are there any more buns? I’d like to eat a few more steamer baskets..."

Bai Yi asked timidly.

Everyone stared in disbelief, unsure what to say for a moment.

Seeing that no one paid her any attention, Xiao Bai couldn’t help feeling aggrieved.

"None left? No... If there’s none, then never mind."

"There is, there is! I’ll go to the kitchen and fetch some for you!"

The burly chef’s expression changed, and he hurried to the kitchen to fetch buns.

At the same time, he commanded the kitchen staff.

"Everyone, put your backs into it! I refuse to believe it, I want to see just how much she can eat today!"

As soon as the chef had spoken, Bai Yi’s pleading voice could be heard again outside.

"Err, if there aren’t any buns, dumplings, or wontons would do! Any sort of stuffed food is fine."

The chef’s face went pale!

What in the world was this monster?

Showing off by eating only staples?

She didn’t even ask for light dishes like shredded potatoes or kelp to cleanse the palate?

The entire kitchen was suddenly on high alert.

Their battle with the gluttonous cub outside... seemed to have only just begun!

"Hmm?"

Little Pink Fuzz was also a bit puzzled.

In her memory, Xiao Bai used to prefer vegetables; what happened today...

Bai Yi nodded slightly, "If I ate vegetables, I’d have to pair them with rice and pancakes, needing to pick from two places with chopsticks, which is too slow. Eating buns and dumplings don’t have such troubles, you just need to put your head down and work."

Mu Xitang’s eyes lit up, thinking to herself that Xiao Bai was truly astute!

As for the live stream where they covertly filmed the two little ones stuffing their faces.

The viewers were already beyond commentary.

[It’s not that I don’t want to make comments, but there are so many points to criticize, I don’t even know where to begin.]

[666]

[Xiao Bai is naturally cut out for mukbang!]

[Huge bites of meat, chugging milk, who’s next?!]

[What a pair of bold and valiant rogues!]

The reason for saying a "pair" was because Mu Xitang was also eating a lot.

But probably because she was tired of eating out all the time, compared to Bai Yi’s voracious manner, Xi Tang seemed more refined.

She didn’t seem to have eaten much, but the observant would notice.

Although Mu Xitang only ate 13 large meat buns, she had already chugged seven bottles of milk.

Besides, she’d also consumed more than ten fried dumplings as well as eight fried eggs and six youtiao (deep-fried dough sticks).

Since it was breakfast, the cafeteria didn’t make it too rich.

"Where’s Jiang Xiao? I mean, if the kid gets overfed to death, won’t he go crazy?"

Director Li asked a middle-aged man.

"Director, Jiang Xiao... Jiang Xiao watched some videos, then looked up what ’analog dad’ means, and after that, he said he was going to talk with Doctor Sun..."

Oh, no wonder he hasn’t shown up for so long.

"Analog dad," huh, it was Little Sun who came up with it; the last time Mu Xitang mentioned it casually during her own live stream.

"If it weren’t for Mu Xitang saying it herself, how could the term ’analog dad’ have reached second place in the hot search?"
