Chapter 1184: Chapter 895, Banquet_2 Chapter 1184: Chapter 895, Banquet_2 Then said, “You two sit over there for a while, dinner will be ready soon.”
After saying this, she went straight into the kitchen.
Xiao Xiao sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and an animated show was playing.
Then she whispered, “Uncle, what about the magic items? Why didn't you give them to my mom?”
“Your mom moved too quickly; she went directly into the kitchen before I had a chance,” said Wu Heng, sitting next to her.
“Then just give them to her later,” said Xiao Xiao, clearly concerned about this matter.
Before long, Zhao Yanqiu brought out the last dish.
A bit embarrassed, she said, “Leader, dinner is ready.”
Wu Heng took out the magic items and the Skill Book, “These are what Xiao Xiao and I prepared for you; they will help with your profession.”
“Oh, there are gifts too. I'm somewhat embarrassed,” said Zhao Yanqiu with a smile.
The green cloak was unfolded, and Zhao Yanqiu looked at it, “A shawl? The patterns on it are so pretty.”
Shawl?
In the modern world, indeed no one uses cloaks, but shawls work too, after all, as long as it's worn, it will have its effect.
Next, she looked at the Wind Chime, planning to hang it by the window.
Xiao Xiao said on the side, “Mom, these are magic items, very useful.”
Then she repeated what the store owner had said that morning to Zhao Yanqiu.
Zhao Yanqiu looked somewhat confused, and turned to Wu Heng with a questioning look in her eyes, “Xiao Xiao said there should be no problem, that's indeed how they are used.”
“Thank you, Leader, I like them very much.”
After saying this, she put the magical items and the Skill Book on the bookshelf next to them and sat down together at the dining table.
Wu Heng sat across from Zhao Yanqiu, while Xiao Xiao took a seat at their side.
Zhao Yanqiu then brought out some red wine, asking, “What would you like to drink? I don't have much here; I traded for this with a colleague this morning.”
“This is fine; I'm not used to drinking these things.”
Zhao Yanqiu nodded, poured him a full glass of wine, “Try my cooking, how does it taste?”
Wu Heng took a couple of bites and complimented, “Delicious, it tastes like something we make at home.”
Zhao Yanqiu smiled, “Then eat more.”
The two chatted casually, but the atmosphere was still somewhat strange.
Wu Heng wanted to say something to bring them closer but felt a bit awkward.
Besides Xiao Xiao, who sat beside them as a companion, there were two invisible ghosts not far away, watching the scene as if they were watching a TV drama.
Xiao Xiao said, “Mom, don't we look like a family?”
Zhao Yanqiu's face turned redder, saying softly, “Xiao Xiao, don't talk nonsense.”
Wu Heng put down his chopsticks, resting his arm on the table, and said, “I listened to the radio last time; you can play the accordion, it sounded really nice.”
Zhao Yanqiu's eyes lit up, “Really? It's just a hobby of mine.”
Wu Heng took a sip of red wine and asked, “What tune was that? It doesn't seem like pop music!”
Zhao Yanqiu replied, “Hmm…, it's from a French film called Amelie, the base has a copy of the film.”
Wu Heng looked up, eyes meeting hers, “I haven't seen that. Watch together next time?”
Zhao Yanqiu's face blushed slightly and she glanced at Xiao Xiao before nodding gently, “Sure!”
After saying this, both of them fell into silence again.
Xiao Xiao looked at the two and felt that if it continued like this, it was unknown when it would end, and said directly, “Uncle, do you want to kiss mom?”
Zhao Yanqiu was startled, “Xiao Xiao!”
Wu Heng stood up, came in front of her, grabbed her, and pulled her up.
Zhao Yanqiu's body tensed up, whispering, “We haven't interacted much.”
Wu Heng said, “For our child.”
With that, he wrapped one hand around her waist and with the other lifted her chin and kissed her directly.
A long and tender kiss.
Xiao Xiao also stood up and hugged them both.
Burying her head into their waists.
[Ghost Skill Lifted: Unfinished Wish.]
In the dead of night, Wu Heng suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Xiao's panel.
The Unfinished Wish had indeed been unlocked.
A wave of joy rose in his heart.
A Ghost's Unfinished Wish was more like a mental block.
After completing the 'last wish', one still had to untie the mental block themselves.
Just like with Glenda's Unfinished Wish, it was after helping her kill the husband who had ended her life that the skill was lifted in the middle of the night.
Similarly, for Xiao Xiao, it was hours later that the 'Unfinished Wish' was unlocked.
Finally, he could level up with Xiao Xiao, making all the effort over this long time worth it.
Thinking about this, he pulled the tousled-haired and still Deep Sleeping beauty closer into his arms.
She murmured something incoherent, but didn't wake up.
Wu Heng also closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Closing his eyes, he entered slumberland.
The next day, in the early morning.
Wu Heng woke up from his sleep, with Zhao Yanqiu still Deep Sleeping in his arms.
He tidied the hair sticking to her forehead, seeing her eyelashes tremble slightly.
“You're awake!” Wu Heng said with a smile.
Zhao Yanqiu, realizing she was caught, opened her eyes as well, “I'm awake, I'll go make breakfast for you.”
Saying so, she covered her chest with the blanket, sitting up, revealing her pale and delicate back.
Wu Heng touched her back and asked, “What time are you heading to the radio station? Why not rest a bit longer?”
Zhao Yanqiu turned to look at him, stubbornly saying, “Who fears who.”
Wu Heng opened his arms, “Come here.”
Zhao Yanqiu's face turned red, and she crawled back into his embrace.
After breakfast.
Zhao Yanqiu cheerfully went off to broadcast her radio program.
Xiao Xiao and Wu Heng sat in the living room watching TV.
Wu Heng said, “Xiao Xiao, you can continue to level up.”
“Really? That's great!” Xiao Xiao cheered, then added, “Can I still call you uncle in the future?”
“That's not what you said before!” Wu Heng looked at her.
“It's so embarrassing.” Xiao Xiao felt awkward, then said, “My mom also told me not to call you carelessly, for fear of affecting you.”
