Chapter 2038: No Snacks in the Drawer
Little Taotie got a fright, lifted his head to look at the camera on the door, and tentatively called out, "Head Grandpa?"
"You still know to come back?"
Little Taotie blinked his eyes, "Does Head Grandpa miss me?"
"Wait for me to come back."
"Head Grandpa?"
"Head Grandpa, are you still there?"
"Not talking, are you already gone?" Little Taotie looked towards Hua Jinyan with confusion.
Hua Jinyan squinted his eyes, "Better not go in."
"Maybe Head Grandpa isn’t watching anymore, we can go in and take just a little, just a little tasty..."
"I heard everything." Shen Cang’s voice sounded again.
Little Taotie took a few steps back, turned, and ran away.
Hua Jinyan: "..."
"Ha, went to the base for special training, still so unreliable."
Hua Jinyan pressed his lips together, "The base is not what we thought."
"Seems like you encountered problems."
"You knew it early on?"
"I guessed you would come back, but earlier than I thought."
"... We just came back to find Dabai."
Silence—
"I’m going to look for her first."
Little Taotie poked his head around, and when he saw Hua Jinyan had caught up, he withdrew his neck and stuck out his tongue, "Scared me to death."
Hua Jinyan: "What do you want to eat? I can go out and buy it."
"You don’t understand!"
Little Taotie grumbled, "It’s not as good as the ones in Head Grandpa’s drawer."
"Isn’t it just because stolen ones taste better?"
"What steal! It’s not that at all!" Little Taotie shook his head, looking very serious, "It’s what Head Grandpa specially prepared for me, I won’t let him down."
"How can you be sure?"
"Come quickly, we’ll go in through the window."
"You... still want to steal?"
"I already said it’s not stealing!"
Little Taotie climbed out from one side of the window, startling Hua Jinyan who could only follow to protect her.
Little Taotie carefully crawled along the window ledge to Shen Cang’s office window.
"It’s locked." Little Taotie took out the Horse-Faced Bell, shook it a few times, and a tiny Ghost floated out.
The Ghost slipped through the window into the office.
She was a disciple of Feng Qi, and after a period of training had become able to touch physical objects, almost reaching the abilities of the Ghost King.
The Ghost nudged the window lock.
The window opened, and the Ghost returned to the Horse-Faced Bell.
Little Taotie climbed through the window, landed safely, turned around to look at Hua Jinyan, saw he was also safely inside, and turned to Shen Cang’s desk to open the drawer.
The drawer opened, revealing only documents.
Little Taotie blinked, reached out a small chubby hand to rummage through, finding only documents.
"No snacks." Little Taotie sat on the sofa, sighed, "I knew it."
Originally Hua Jinyan didn’t understand Little Taotie’s intentions, now he suddenly realized, asking, "Did you want to see if there were still snacks in his drawer if you weren’t in the Ancient Castle?"
Little Taotie nodded, "If there are snacks, it means Head Grandpa likes snacks himself. If there are no snacks, it means from the first day I came to the Ancient Castle, Head Grandpa was already preparing snacks for me."
The current answer is that Head Grandpa prepared snacks especially for him.
Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan followed the route back, climbing the window again was more experienced than before.
Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan just arrived at the hall when they saw Shen Cang walking in through the main door.
Shen Cang was holding a large bag.
Although the bag was black and they couldn’t see inside, Little Taotie could already guess what was in it.
Little Taotie’s small nose twitched, already smelling the aroma of roasted chicken.
"Head Grandpa~" Little Taotie ran over, lifted his head, his eyes sparkling, and deep dimples forming.
