"Cid, speaking of which, the young mistress of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe is starting the first rehearsal of her life today. Shall we go together to listen to the opera?"
After the meal, Old Master Zhongli invited Cid to watch a special performance.
"The young mistress of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe? Is it Yun Jin? If I remember correctly, she should be about the same age as Hu Tao, right?"
The old uncle didn't mind at all showing a bit of a Descender's foresight in front of Old Master Zhongli.
After all, Old Master Zhongli hardly acted either—who in Liyue Harbor would play the role of a little hater of the Lord among ordinary people?
"That child loves Liyue opera very much. At such a young age, she pestered her parents to learn the basic skills of opera. Accomplishing that wasn't easy."
"Then let's go. Anyway, I don't know where else to wander right now. Aunt Xianyun, what do you think?"
"Opera, ah. It's been a long time since I've listened to one. Let's go. After listening, I also plan to take you to visit an old friend."
Aunt Xianyun had no objections. Since Old Master Zhongli recommended it, the old uncle very straightforwardly set off with the children.
"Old uncle, old uncle! You're planning to flirt with girls again! Isn't it enough that Shenhe and I are here to play with you?"
Seeing little Yun Jin, little Hu Tao seemed somewhat excited and started her nonsense again.
The old uncle was very helpless. He simply picked little Hu Tao up and placed her on his lap, then viciously used a double-fist attack on her.
"Ow, it hurts, it hurts! Old uncle, do you not know that you have to be quiet when watching opera?"
The old uncle, who hadn't used any strength at all, smirked mischievously. Faced with little Hu Tao's attempt to turn the tables, he just proudly whispered.
"The opera hasn't started yet~ And besides, adults don't reason with children! Experience the wickedness of society!"
Thus, the old uncle began ravaging the little milk dumpling Hu Tao, firmly hugging the milk dumpling into his arms and rubbing his face against hers.
"Old uncle, you're really becoming more and more like a creepy uncle..."
Little Hu Tao, unable to resist, was very helpless and could only powerlessly let the despicable and shameless creepy uncle Cid do as he pleased.
Oh, right—how could he only rub one of the two milk dumplings?
The old uncle suddenly realized that the other Cryo milk dumpling, little Shenhe, was sitting very obediently beside him. She didn't say anything, just quietly watching the opera.
Facts prove that noisy children get candy, while honest children like Shenhe are too well-behaved, causing Cid to always finish playing with little Hu Tao before remembering her.
So he extended another arm and hooked little Shenhe over.
Little Shenhe looked up at the old uncle, her eyes pure and innocent as she watched the old uncle and little Hu Tao.
"Shenhe, run quickly... The old uncle has turned into a creepy uncle..."
Even though Cid wasn't using any strength, little Hu Tao still pretended to speak in a weak voice, telling Shenhe to run.
Shenhe looked completely bewildered. As an obedient child, running wasn't even an option—she simply tilted her head and leaned against the old uncle Cid.
Ah, is this what an obedient good child is like?
The old uncle Cid only felt healed.
Speaking of which, there seemed to be one more child among the three that he hadn't tended to.
The old uncle looked at little Eula, who was sitting on his other side and already in teenage mode.
So he chose to watch the staff in front who were still setting up the stage.
Little Eula was no longer a milk dumpling; she was an elegant noble young lady. The creepy uncle soul had no reaction to her.
As a result, little Eula smiled—a very happy smile—squinting her eyes as she vigorously rubbed the old uncle's face.
Sorry, ah. I'm an expired milk dumpling, truly sorry~
But it's okay. Expired milk dumplings also have a creepy uncle soul.
"Eula... the opera... is about to staart (start)." The old uncle, whose face was being rubbed, couldn't even speak clearly.
Old Master Zhongli watched the opera in front.
Aunt Xianyun just watched the punished creepy uncle, smiling without saying anything.
