NOVEL NEXT Chapter 664: Truth and Falsehood
Jiang Wenxin just came out of the bathroom and saw Tao Guangsha standing fully dressed in the living room.
She couldn't help but be a bit surprised, "Honey, why are you up so early, and dressed so neatly?"
When she got out of bed, Tao Guangsha was still lying there fast asleep. She just went to the bathroom, didn't take much time at all, so how did he get up, and get dressed so neatly? It was all quite odd.
Hearing the other call him "honey," Tao Guangsha immediately grinned cheekily but quickly realized and straightened his face, saying, "Wife, did you go to the bathroom to pee?"
Jiang Wenxin felt speechless at his words, thinking to herself, if I go to the bathroom, if not to pee, am I going in there to drink water?
But now she felt even more that her husband in front of her was strange, so she stood where she was, not approaching him.
She just replied, "Yes, why did you get up?"
"Because... because I missed you." Tao Guangsha said.
"We were just lying on the same bed, I just went to the bathroom for a moment, and you missed me already?" Jiang Wenxin said.
Tao Guangsha nodded repeatedly at her words.
Seeing him act like this, Jiang Wenxin felt a familiar strangeness.
"Then why did you get up so early? Are you going to make me breakfast?" Jiang Wenxin asked.
Tao Guangsha immediately said, "You're the wife, you cook breakfast."
"Oh, really? Then what are you going to do?" Jiang Wenxin retorted.
"I'm going to drink tea and play on my phone."
Saying this, Tao Guangsha sat down in a chair beside him.
People familiar with him knew that Tao Guangsha had a habit of drinking tea and reading the news every morning.
Drinking tea was fine, but reading the news was not the same as playing on the phone, so Jiang Wenxin's suspicion grew.
Thus, she didn't expose him and continued to ask, "Then what do you want to eat for breakfast?"
"Fried chicken leg." Tao Guangsha said.
"You're eating fried chicken leg first thing in the morning?" Jiang Wenxin was amused.
"Why not?" Tao Guangsha said.
Looking at Tao Guangsha with a pitiable look, Jiang Wenxin almost burst out laughing.
But she forcefully held it back and said, "I remember you don't like fried chicken legs, isn't that something Taozi likes?"
"Nonsense, only a fool doesn't like fried chicken legs. I'm a dad, and I love them too."
Ruan Hongzhuang: ...
"Well, alright, but it seems like we don't have any chicken legs at home. What should we do?" Jiang Wenxin deliberately showed a troubled face.
"We don't have any?" Tao Guangsha showed a disappointed look.
"How about this, I'll boil an egg for you, and some greens, it's healthier that way." Jiang Wenxin said.
"I don't want that." Tao Guangsha shook his head vigorously, eyes closed.
Seeing him act like this, Jiang Wenxin almost burst her insides from holding back laughter.
Just then, the door opened, and another Tao Guangsha, wearing pajamas, yawning, scratching his butt, came out of the room.
"Honey, what are we having for breakfast?" he casually asked.
Then he saw the other version of himself stand up from the chair with a whoosh.
He quickly rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dreaming.
"Who are you?" Tao Guangsha asked seriously.
"I...I'm mom."
Then they saw the other version of him instantly transform into Jiang Wenxin's appearance in front of them.
Hands on hips, chest out, she proudly said, "Call me wife."
"Puh~"
This time Jiang Wenxin couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed heartily.
Tao Guangsha also realized what was going on, feeling awkwardly amused, he said, "You're really something."
Thinking back to her words earlier, he couldn't help but laugh too.
When the parents laughed, she followed suit with silly giggles.
Jiang Wenxin was the first to stop laughing and then said, "Alright, we know you're our precious Dou Dou, hurry and change back to your original form."
"Wow, you are amazing, how did you find out?" Dou Dou asked, looking surprised.
Then, under their amazed gazes, she transformed back to her original form, except draped in a Lotus Armor.
"Is this a new skill that your Potato brother taught you?"
"Is this a new Magical Treasure that Xiao Shen gave you?"
The couple asked simultaneously, but their questions were different.
Dou Dou didn't answer immediately. Instead, they saw the armor on her body emit divine light, like mercury, quickly contracting to the top of her head, turning into a Lotus Lamp, which she took down and held in her hand.
"Hehe, impressive right? I discovered this treasure myself." Dou Dou said proudly.
The couple looked at the Lotus Lamp in her hand with curiosity and asked, "Where did you find it?"
"Netherworld." Dou Dou replied.
Tao Guangsha couple: ...
"Just now you were able to turn into us, was it because of this lamp?" Tao Guangsha curiously asked.
Dou Dou nodded with pride and said, "Fun, right?"
"Fun," Jiang Wenxin agreed.
"Hmph, I can turn into anyone, and...and I can turn into a princess."
"Princess?" Jiang Wenxin didn't catch on right away, thinking she meant some princess from another country.
"Yes, Princess Elsa, Princess Rapunzel..."
Saying this, Dou Dou put the Lotus Lamp back on top of her head, and in the blink of an eye, a Princess Elsa appeared in reality.
The couple was startled, but then felt it was unbelievably magical.
"This is like the 72 Transformations, Mr. Shen is truly amazing," Tao Guangsha praised.
At this moment, he wasn't calling him Xiao Shen anymore but instinctively addressed him as Mr. Shen, it was truly too shocking, too incredible.
"Potato brother said it's not the 72 Transformations."
Dou Dou returned to her original form and held the Lotus Lamp in her hand again.
Having seen the animated series Journey to the West, Dou Dou naturally knew the 72 Transformations, and since acquiring this lamp, Shen Siyuan had also told her about it, so she understood well.
"Is there a difference?" Tao Guangsha asked curiously.
"I can only transform into people, I can't change into other things. I even want to turn into a small puppy," Dou Dou said seriously.
You better not think about it, just be a good person, the couple thought simultaneously.
"Can I take a look at the Divine Lamp?" Jiang Wenxin asked with curiosity.
"Of course." Dou Dou generously handed over the Lotus Lamp in her hand.
Seeing this, Tao Guangsha chuckled to himself on the side.
"What are you laughing at?" Dou Dou asked, puzzled.
"I...I'm happy for you." Tao Guangsha quickly explained.
But as his wife, Jiang Wenxin knew what he was thinking, and she rolled her eyes at him exasperatedly.
Then, imitating Dou Dou's earlier move, she placed the Lotus Lamp on her head.
But nothing happened; it was still just an ordinary lamp, aside from being a little exquisite, there was nothing special about it.
"Why doesn't it work?" Seeing this, Tao Guangsha asked anxiously.
"Of course it doesn't work. Only I and Potato brother can use it. Duoduo and Sister Xiao Yue can't either." Dou Dou said with a bit of pride.
The Tao Guangsha couple felt slightly disappointed but also happy.
The disappointment doesn't need much explanation, but the joy came from realizing that their daughter was indeed the most special one.
