Abnormal Lantern Festival

"Meow meow meow!"

Bun was opening its little mouth repeatedly, meowing loudly.

Its little paws were reaching out towards Jiang Feng, as if demanding its wages from earlier.

Nearby, Yuan Xiao was trying to persuade bun not to argue with Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He could tell from bun's meows that it was very unhappy now.

He reckoned the little creature was probably cursing him for being stingy.

To prevent bun from scolding him further, Jiang Feng quickly took out a bag of feed from his personal space.

"Okay bun, here's your pay, this is for both of you."

Jiang Feng placed the feed in front of bun.

This finally calmed bun's anger.

The bun that was just pinching its waist in a furious rage immediately grinned and meowed happily.

Even Jiang Feng was stunned by how quickly its mood changed.

This little thing is too fickle.

"Bun, this is for you and Yuan Xiao, don't eat it all yourself."

Jiang Feng sternly said again.

Telling bun to share the feed with Yuan Xiao.

Meow meow meow~

Bun nodded, then put the feed in its arms on the ground.

It then stuck out its butt and used its little paws to start dividing the feed for Yuan Xiao.

Meow meow meow!

One for you, one for me!

Meow meow meow!

One for me, one for me!

Bun grinned and meowed happily as it divided the food.

Nearby, Yuan Xiao looked on in puzzlement as bun divided the food.

It normally ate bamboo, so it had never seen this kind of feed before.

However, even though it didn't know what this was,

it could sense from the scent that this thing...

seemed...

very delicious!

Yuan Xiao couldn't help but sniff involuntarily, it smelled so good!

So it stood by eagerly watching bun divide the food for it.

But why was the pile of feed in front of bun getting bigger while its portion was so small?

Yuan Xiao tilted its head in confusion.

Meanwhile, bun seemed to be getting addicted, continuously dividing it "one for you, one for me."

It was even raking at the food with its little paws.

Jiang Feng, watching from the side, could no longer stand it.

At this rate, bun would have divided more than half of the feed for itself.

Poor Yuan Xiao was left with just a tiny portion.

This little thing sure knows how to take advantage.

"Forget it, I'll divide it for you."

Jiang Feng placed his large hand over bun's paw, and bun looked up at Jiang Feng uncomprehendingly.

Jiang Feng didn't say a word, he just took the feed back.

In three quick moves, he divided the feed fairly for the two little creatures.

Not too much for anyone, not too little, completely fair and impartial.

"Okay, eat up."

Jiang Feng patted the little ones' heads and said.

Bun didn't dwell on it, immediately rushing meowing towards its own pile of feed and eating messily without restraint.

Its eating manner was so unsightly that Jiang Feng shook his head.

In contrast, Yuan Xiao was much better.

It first looked at the feed skeptically, using its little paw to grab a handful and sniff it.

So fragrant!

Yuan Xiao glanced at the ravenous bun, then finally felt assured and began eating slowly and delicately.

It squinted its eyes in an expression of enjoyment as it ate.

Jiang Feng clapped his hands, stood up, and went to prepare his own dinner.

"Fried rice noodles? I don't think I bought those."

Back in the house, Jiang Feng took out a box of fried rice noodles from the shopping bag.

He looked at it doubtfully, he didn't remember buying this when he got the instant noodles.

And he had heard that this stuff was incredibly smelly?

Jiang Feng had never tried it before.

"Forget it, I'll just fill my belly first, I can cook for real tomorrow."

Jiang Feng picked up the kettle and went to the kitchen to boil water.

And it was at this moment that Jiang Feng suddenly remembered something.

He recalled that bun became so intelligent because it drank the Three-Colored Spirit Water, right?

Why not give some to Yuan Xiao too?

To make it smarter as well?

Jiang Feng thought the idea was viable.

So after plugging in the electric kettle to boil water, he went to find Yuan Xiao by the door.

"Yuan Xiao, where's bun?"

Jiang Feng came to the door and found bun was missing.

Meow~

The eating Yuan Xiao stretched out its paw and pointed towards the bedroom.

Jiang Feng turned and saw that the door to his room was open, and bun was standing in front of the wardrobe doing who-knows-what.

"Never mind, I won't bother with it."

Jiang Feng turned his head back to Yuan Xiao.

Then he had the system produce some Three-Colored Spirit Water.

The eating Yuan Xiao immediately stopped what it was doing and stared at the Three-Colored Spirit Water in Jiang Feng's hand with its beady eyes.

Meow?

"Come here, Yuan Xiao, drink this!"

Jiang Feng directly brought the Three-Colored Spirit Water to Yuan Xiao's mouth.

Yuan Xiao blankly froze for a moment, it didn't know what this thing was.

But it could sense an immense energy contained within.

Yuan Xiao meowed once, then tilted its head back and drank the Three-Colored Spirit Water down.

Jiang Feng squatted down nearby, eagerly watching Yuan Xiao's reaction.

Having experienced bun's incident before, Jiang Feng knew that Yuan Xiao drinking the Three-Colored Spirit Water wouldn't cause any problems.

But it seemed the developments were beyond his expectations.

After Yuan Xiao drank the Three-Colored Spirit Water, it didn't have any reaction at all!

It didn't even let out a pained cry.

Instead, it still stared at Jiang Feng alertly.

As if it wanted to drink more.

Jiang Feng scratched his head perplexed: "Yuan Xiao, you're really okay?"

Meow?

Hearing Jiang Feng's words, Yuan Xiao looked at him uncomprehendingly.

This made Jiang Feng dumbfounded.

This isn't right, why did bun have such a huge reaction when it drank it,

While Yuan Xiao had none at all?

"System, what's going on here?"

Jiang Feng inquired in his mind.

One minute...

Two minutes...

The system didn't respond for a long time.

Jiang Feng knew the system probably couldn't explain this phenomenon either.

So he picked up Yuan Xiao and inspected it up and down.

Finding that Yuan Xiao seemed normal.

This finally put his mind at ease.

"Go on and eat."

Jiang Feng patted Yuan Xiao's little head, and since Yuan Xiao was fine, he felt relieved.

Jiang Feng got up and headed towards the bedroom.

What was bun, that little thing, trying to do by repeatedly opening and closing the wardrobe door?

But before he could reach the bedroom door,

Bun seemed to sense Jiang Feng coming and slammed the wardrobe door shut again.

"Bun, what are you doing?"

Jiang Feng came to the door and asked curiously.

There were no clothes left in the wardrobe, so why was bun so interested in it?

Meow meow meow!

Bun suddenly turned and ran over, then used its little paws to pull Jiang Feng away.

As if it didn't want Jiang Feng to open the wardrobe.

"You little thing, keeping your own little secret."

Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't pry into what bun's secret was.

He went to the kitchen, the water was boiling, and Jiang Feng was about to soak the fried rice noodles.

And at that moment, his phone rang again.

Jiang Feng thought it was Director Su from the Forestry Bureau calling again.

But when he took out his phone and looked, it was Jiang Daixue!
