"so……"

Mo Tan sat at the table, looking at the small figure on the screen with his back to him, sitting cross-legged on a cushion watching cartoons with a blank look on his face, and asked dumbfounded: "What is this?"

The handsome boy on the screen, no more than five years old at most, with thick black hair and dull eyes, turned to look at the camera with a dull expression and said dryly: "Are you blind? You haven't seen "Big Mouth". gourd"?"

"First of all, I have never watched "Big Mouth Calabash". At most, I only know a few characters in it."

Mo Tan sighed and said helplessly: "Secondly, although I recognized that you were watching "Big Mouth Calabash", this does not conflict with my shock at this moment. In other words, it is not so much that I am asking you 'What are you watching?', rather I am asking 'Why do you want to watch "Big Mouth"? I think even if you want to watch it, you should also watch "The Truman Show" and "The Pianist" , "The Godfather", "Oppenheimer" and the like, instead of... To be honest, I don't mean to disparage a certain work, but I really can't understand why you would watch "Big Mouth"."

"I'm just a four-and-a-half-year-old kid."

The four-and-a-half-year-old child casually paused "Big Mouth Gourd", turned around and smiled at Mo Tanqian: "Can't you look at something that a four-and-a-half-year-old child should watch? As the saying goes, existence is reasonable, even if it is garbage, since it can exist In this world, it definitely has its meaning.”

"You just said 'trash', right?"

"..."

"Did you say the word 'trash'?"

"..."

"You said it yourself!"

"Shut up, do you think I don't want to watch "The Grudge"?"

"Why "The Grudge"?"

"Because Kayako is so good-looking, and she's also low-key and restrained. She's not as scheming as Sadako."

"Sadako...where is the scheming going on?"

"Haven't you seen "The Ring"?"

"I've seen it, but where is Sadako's scheming?"

"Don't you think the scene where she climbed out of the TV was particularly sexy? The curves of her body are completely visible..."

"Stop it."

Mo Tan immediately raised his hand to interrupt the boy on the other side of the screen, and said seriously: "I don't think this is a topic suitable for a four-and-a-half-year-old child to discuss, unless you just look like four-and-a-half years old."

"it is a pity."

The four-and-a-half-year-old shrugged, spread his hands and said, "I'm a real four-and-a-half-year-old, so stop talking nonsense and talk about business."

Mo Tan thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Then "Big Mouth Gourd"..."

"It has nothing to do with you! Although this thing is indeed not what I want to see, it has nothing to do with! You! Do you understand?!"

The boy shook his fist at the screen angrily and said through gritted teeth, "If you don't have anything serious to do, I'll hang up. I still haven't watched more than 80 episodes of this cerebral palsy movie!"

Mo Tan nodded slightly and asked: "What, so "Crayon Shin-chan" is not good? That one is at least..."

Snapped.

This time the other party hung up the video without hesitation, giving him no chance to continue talking.

‘Sorry, let’s not talk about this anymore. ’

Mo Tan quickly entered this sentence into the dialog box of the chat software, then sent out the video invitation again, and five seconds later saw the boy's extremely gloomy face appear on the screen again.

"I'm warning you, if you talk to me about useless things again, I promise to block you as soon as possible!"

The four-and-a-half-year-old glared at Mo Tan angrily and said through gritted teeth: "Speaking of which, things were fine last year. Why did you suddenly lie out of nowhere in the spring that I was not a normal person? And you even threatened me with death. I reported it to the club, and I was so scared that I signed a bunch of unequal treaties with you."

Mo Tan sighed and said seriously: "Have I told you several times, those treaties are not binding, and you will not be reported even if you ignore me, and I will take a step back and say, I I really can’t believe that your club can’t be opened because of being reported.”

"Maybe, but you're my guest, aren't you?"

The boy shrugged and said calmly: "I am not one of those fringe people who tamper with the memories of ordinary people at the slightest disagreement. Although their starting point is indeed very good, they have indeed avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble for most ordinary people. , and even work silently for everyone to live safely all the time, but I always like to 'respect the fate of others', so... I am a guest when I come."

Mo Tan smiled and asked, "What about me? Am I a guest or a friend?"

"There are more than enough bad guests, but not enough bad friends."

The boy frowned and said with a look of disgust: "My social circle is already very full. I just need to keep a distance from people like you who either cause trouble or are troubled by it, and maintain an indifferent relationship between gentlemen. At most If the situation is not too troublesome, I will be your backer and help you."

"Thank you, that's enough."

Mo Tan nodded slightly, and after the boy characterized the conversation, he asked, "So, what's the situation on Xueyin's side now?"

The immature four-and-a-half-year-old glanced at him: "You can't ask yourself? I think she already trusts you blindly, right? Ha, the lyrics are well written, Teacher M."

"I knew she wouldn't be able to hide this from you after she passes."

Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment and looked around: "I just wrote something casually, mainly because Xue Yin sings well."

"There's no need to belittle yourself. Having said that, I have to thank you. After all, I never knew whether I was a fan of Xueyin's songs or teacher M's lyrics. Now I finally understand."

The boy smacked his lips and sighed sincerely: "I am Xueyin's dog——"

Mo Tan: "...Didn't you say you have someone you like?"

"yes."

The boy raised his eyes and looked at Mo Tan, and asked: "But it doesn't conflict with me having a 'favorite object' and me having a 'favorite idol'? No one stipulates that they must be the same person, right?"

"That's all there is to it."

Mo Tan, who couldn't refute for a while, pinched his eyebrows and brought the topic back: "I actually don't really want to have anything to do with her, so I contacted you directly. In that situation, I She can't just let her awaken her super power to fend for herself, right? If she accidentally causes a commotion during a concert, Xue Yin will definitely be targeted by those fringe people she doesn't really like."

"First of all, that's not called superpower, it's called symbolic power."

The boy raised his eyes and explained with a look of disgust: "Each marginalized person has his or her own unique symbolic power, from warping space to making scrambled eggs taste better. It can be said to be completely random and bizarre. Other than that, , they will also use spiritual power to drive spells and talismans. The spells can be understood as magic in Western fantasy novels. The talismans are derived from the Bagua Zhouyi and so on. The superpowers are superpowers. Do you understand the abilities of capable people?"

"I don't understand."

Mo Tan nodded and said honestly: "I understand now."

"It doesn't matter. There's nothing to hide about this kind of thing anyway, but it's useless if you know about it."

The boy touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "But I'd better say less, otherwise it won't be good if I make you yearn too much for the circle below the stage."

Mo Tanfeng smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "I think my life is exciting enough now, and I'm pretty good at the game."

"Game? You mean [Innocent Boundary]?"

The boy scratched his head and said helplessly: "I can't get in, and the store is busy at night. Even if I could get in, I wouldn't have time to play. Alas, actually if I had the choice, I would also like to play with Sister Qian in that game. Su Shuangfei is here."

Mo Tan just smiled, then spread his hands and said, "Anyway, I've finished explaining why I didn't go to Xue Yin directly to inquire. You should explain the situation to me, right?"

"The situation is, as you wished, I found a mentor for her, a lazy female mouse."

The boy snapped his fingers (no sound) and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, although that rat is average in strength, it is better because it lives a long time, is well-informed and is particularly good at surviving. To be honest, she is the only one who hides." If she hadn't offended someone she couldn't offend before, she wouldn't have ended up in the club being taken care of by me. I heard that she had a very prestigious nickname back then, called Half Bodhisattva or something like that."

Mo Tan was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "So powerful?"

"The Eight Diagrams of Mouse belongs to Li, and the Five Elements belong to Fire. In humans, Li belongs to the heart, and the heart goes in and out all the time, just like a mouse; Li has two yangs, upper and lower, which belongs to gold, and gold is white, so it is a golden-nosed white-haired mouse spirit, but it is rare. thing."

The four-and-a-half-year-old boy shook his head and recited a series of words that sounded vaguely spiritual and unclear. The old god said calmly: "In short, with her following, Xue Yin and the people around her will not be fooled by those fringe people. She noticed that even ordinary monsters and monsters would never be able to harm her. Even if there were enemies that the rat couldn't deal with, she would probably be able to buy enough time to wait for those marginalized people to come over and save her, which was better than those ordinary people wearing suits, sunglasses and double doors. The bodyguard is much better.”

Mo Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "You should be able to ensure that... uh, Ms. Rat can take good care of Xue Yin, right?"

"Yes, if it were anyone else, I might have to get some restraints, but that guy would be fine."

The boy grinned and said casually: "After all, she is also a fanatical fan of Xueyin."

"ah?"

"Ah what? What's the matter, do you look down on mice? Don't say that I am a thousand-year-old mouse who understands human nature and can transform. Even an ordinary mouse can understand and appreciate music. Do you like Xueyin? Isn’t it normal?”

"From what you put it, that's quite normal."

Mo Tan twitched his lips, and then said gratefully to the increasingly impatient boy on the other side of the screen: "Thank you this time, I owe you a favor."

"No, I can be considered a star-chaser now. Xue Yin even signed several trash cans in the house for me. These favors have completely canceled each other out."

The boy waved his hand and said with disgust: "It's okay, I'm just hanging up. I still haven't finished watching more than 80 episodes of "Big Mouth Calabash"."

"Yeah, you're busy, bye."

"Haha, it's best not to see you."

…

two minutes later

"call--"

Carefully switching the overly powerful laptop on the table from [Secret Mode] to [Eat, Drink, and Have Fun Mode], I suddenly had a 'conscience' after lunch and immediately found a human cub to ask about the specific situation of a popular idol. Mo Tan breathed a sigh of relief, his anxious heart finally relieved.

After all, Xueyin is not Mo Tan, and she is not Yi Dong, who probably has a tough background. Although she is a world-class idol, there is no guarantee that she will not encounter problems of one kind or another after awakening her abilities, so even though she has already done it It was a relatively safe arrangement, but he still wanted to confirm it again.

The confirmed target is none other than the current store manager of the [Second Class 2 Club], a kid who is only four and a half years old, has not been reborn, has not traveled through time, has not cheated, but has great hands and eyes.

Strictly speaking, Mo Tan and Xiao Gui have known each other for almost two years, but for a long time, he only regarded the other person as a small guy with a big business mind, rare but not uncommon. Genius, until a few months ago, Mo Tan, who had already had a preliminary understanding of the world under the table, caught him off guard and used big and small deceptions to reveal the fact that the boy was not just doing business for ordinary people, and then used it as a bargaining chip to report that the head of the club had just been weaned. The other party asked for a favor and used it on Xueyin not long ago.

But as Mo Tan said, he doesn't envy the wonderful lives of those 'supermen', nor is he interested in being a mortal under the spotlight, so this contact is just to inquire about Yu Yin's status. It's just a situation.

Then, just when Mo Tan was about to take advantage of this moment to do some general cleaning, his cell phone suddenly made a crisp noise, and the caller had the word "Kang Lan" written on it.

"Hi."

Without any hesitation, Mo Tan immediately answered the phone and asked before Kang Lan spoke: "Xiao Yu is awake?"

"Well……"

Kang Lan on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "How do you know?"

"Didn't you and Wan Yang say before that you were going to see Xiaoyu today? Counting the time, you should already be at the medical school by now."

Mo Tan smiled and asked, "So, how is Xiao Yu doing?"

"Ha, this is the scoring angle..."

Classmate Xiaokang laughed dryly and said in a complicated tone: "You have to talk about the physical condition. In the words of Yuchen and her classmate, Xiaoyu is as strong as a calf now, but you have to talk about the mental condition... Really, Wan Yang and I I always feel that if I don’t pay attention to Xiaoyu, I will go straight to the rooftop and throw myself down to be reincarnated.”

"Why do you want to be reincarnated again?"

"I guess he wants to change his father."
