451 7.75 – Stinky Bun Wants To Repair A Door – War Of The Wickeds

Kuro used a cart to bring the boys some water, “How is that entertaining?”

Xiao Pu shrugged his shoulders, helping the bewitched boy to take a sip, “Bet me. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to marry a truck one day.”

Xiao Pu smiled with a downcast expression. He was glad to have much fewer responsibilities than before, but he couldn’t help to be a bit jealous of Bing Shi, who was able to find such a great pacifier so fast. He knew Stinky Bun much better than her. He knew he shouldn’t be playing the mother figure, but it was still not fair.

He found it hard to act along with Ying Xiong’s childish plays later on. There were many things Xuan Mu wanted Stinky Bun to learn and he was more than glad to assist his father with it.

When he thought it would be a good idea to teach the boy how to recognize various animals, Xuan Mu built a whole ZOO not far away from the city...

It was extravagant, to say the least, but interactive nonetheless. Somewhere in Xiao Pu’s mechanical heart, he thought that the ZOO was a gift for everyone for a good job done, not just Ying Xiong.

When he said that a few picture books or documentary movies would have been enough, Xuan Mu just patted his head with laughter, saying there would be no way for Stinky Bun to remember a documentary movie.

The Zoo didn’t have all the animals, but it had a designated place for each one. There were no whales, but there were interactive tables and VR rooms, where one could see pictures and videos of them.

As time went on, the ZOO began to grow. The animals and creatures one would find in it didn’t belong to one world only. On some special days, they would visit it together like a family. And honestly, those were one of the best memories he had.

.....

Because they’ve visited it so many times, Stinky Bun could react immediately once Bing Shi mentioned whales, by putting them in Daddy’s aquarium (the little boy completely forgot about their size).

After they were done watching the daily news, Ying Xiong ran to the bathroom to grab a toilet paper roll. Only now did he start to get concerned about daddy’s door, “Pupu?”

Xiao Pu followed the boy to the bathroom, “What are you doing?”

Standing on a stool, Ying Xiong threw the toilet paper into a sink and poured some water on it, “Daddy.” A head for daddy’s door. Stinky Bun is going to heal the door to its previous condition (to avoid being grounded).

Xiao Pu came to the sink with a great amount of patience, switching off the faucet, “You can’t turn paper back into the wood.”

Ying Xiong held up the drenched paper roll, “Pu?” Why not?

Xiao Pu clicked his tongue, “Go ask your mommy.” Tired of explaining things, he went back to the living room and lay down on the couch, pretending to sleep. He didn’t move even when Ying Xiong returned to the living room all wet, with a dripping mush of wet paper.

Ying Xong plopped the paper on the ‘sick’ pile of wood and began to use his ‘healing’ abilities on it. Nothing happened. Maybe it needed a bigger head? Blinking his eyes, he went to his art supplies bin and took out a stash of papers. He crumbled them up into a ball and placed it on the pile again. Tilting his head, he scrunched his mouth. Something was missing.

Kuro poked Stinky Bun’s shoulders, pointing at the wet floor, “Someone will get hurt if you don’t wipe the floor.”

“Daddy, daddy.” Later. Ying Xiong went to pick up his markers to draw a face on the crumbled paper ball, “Pupu.” Ask Xiao Pu. Stinky Bun has to repair the door first.

Xiao Pu gritted his teeth as he ran away from the apartment. Why should he keep the house clean if his ‘parents’ only saw him as a child?

Xiao Pu would let them see what it would mean if he acted like a child and not a nanny! Humph! Let’s see who was going to regret it later! If something bad happened, it would be all Xuan Mu’s and Bing Shi’s fault for not being here with them!

After Xiao Pu left the place, Kuro went to pick up a cup of water and poured it over the whole floor in the living room, “Someone will get hurt if you don’t wipe the floor.” Once again, it went back to the bathroom and returned with a cup of water, “Someone will get hurt if you don’t wipe the floor.”

When Ying Xiong felt his socks getting wetter and wetter, he turned around to see the drowning living room, “Daddy?!?” What is Kuro doing?! Standing up, he ran to stop the snake from pouring more water on the floor. And before he could reach the white snake, he slipped and fell on his buttocks.

“I told you someone will get hurt if you don’t wipe the floor, LOL,” Kuro rattled emotionlessly.

“Daddy, daddy!” Sinky Bun is not hurt! Ying Xiong got up and tried wiping his butt with his hands, pretending not to be hurt. His black onesies got soaked through and through, “Daddy, daddy.” Kuro needs to clean the floor quickly or you will get grounded!

“Later,” Kuro lay down on the couch, closing its eyes, “You don’t listen to me, I don’t listen to you.”

And thus a great fight between a toddler and a white snake began. The two started tugging at each other, trying to get their way, and eventually, they ended up rolling over and over in the living room.

The two finally stopped fighting when the sun began to settle down, but Kuro and Stinky Bun still weren’t satisfied with each other’s actions, and they continued arguing for quite some time.

Finally, Ying Xiong agreed on letting Kuro wipe the floor with his body. He went to grab a bunch of towels and turned into a baby mop one could hold and drag across the room.
