25. With baby Zhongli
After Mandrill stood up, Tong Yan took half a step back without leaving a trace and stood behind Mandrill.
Tong Yan had his hands intertwined in front of him, and his eyes were looking around curiously.
Zhongli's eyes fell on Tong Yan, but Tong Yan's attention was attracted by a petite figure hiding behind a pillar, so he didn't notice it at all.
That petite figure was very cute, with a rosy face and a pair of beautiful plum blossom eyes looking at Tong Yan timidly. When Tong Yan looked over, she hid.
However, the two small hands were exposed.
After a while, the little girl put her hands away, and the little girl curiously poked her head out to watch secretly.
Tong Yan smiled softly at her and stuck out his tongue very playfully. The little girl watched quietly and winked at Tong Yan.
This little girl was born exactly like Hu Tao when she was a child, but her personality was completely opposite to what she had in mind. Her childish face was a little confused for a while.
Just when Tong Yan was thinking about whether the little girl was a walnut, the little girl's tender and delicate voice sounded.
"Mr. Zhongli~"
She ran to Zhongli's side with her little hands and hugged Zhongli's thigh.
Looking at the little girl, Zhongli rubbed her little head lovingly. He slowly knelt down. Although the look on his face was a little helpless, it was more of a doting one.
Zhongli said in a very gentle tone: "Carrot, why did you run out?"
"Have you finished the book?"
Carrot nodded heavily, and said with pride on his little face: "I've finished reading~"
Zhongli naturally reached out and picked up Carrot, and Carrot hugged Zhongli's neck, looking very intimate.
Mandrill seemed to be used to this, so the expression on his face was as calm as ever, but this was the first time he saw Tong Yan, and she was stunned on the spot.
Who would have thought that the dignified King Yan would take care of a little girl in the Hall of Rebirth?
The little girl’s name is Carrot, so what is the relationship between Hutao and her?
Carrot Pu looked at Mandrill with her plum blossom eyes, and she shouted in a sweet voice: "Brother Mandrill~"
Mandrill nodded as a response, and the flash of smile in his golden eyes was accurately captured by Tong Yan. Now Tong Yan found it a little hard to accept.
"elder brother……?"
Tong Yan was dumbfounded. If Carrot called Brother Mandrill, wouldn't she be lowered for no reason?
Tong Yan leaned close to Mandrill and asked softly: "Teacher, whose child is Carrot...?"
Mandrill turned his head and looked at Tong Yan, with a strange expression on his face.
Without waiting for Mandrill's reply, Carrot's lovely voice sounded.
"My mother is Hu Tao, the seventy-seventh generation head of the Purity Hall."
This answer was so shocking that Tong Yan looked at Mandrill in disbelief.
After receiving Mandrill's affirmative nod, Tong Yan's thoughts became confused.
Tong Yan remembered clearly that she said goodbye to Hu Tao before going on the mission.
At that time, Hutao pulled her by the corner of her clothes and asked her if she would come back. An Chun didn't answer, but just smiled softly.
At that time, the walnut was as big as the carrot now.
In other words, at least twenty years have passed since the last life.
"Then where is your mother?"
"I went to Inazuma Castle with my dad."
Tong Yan felt her head hurt a little, and she rubbed her forehead.
"Then who is your father?"
"My father's name is Xiang Wan, he is Liyue's great hero."
