Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Little One, Do You Have a Lot of Questions?

Gu Mo was a bit confused, unable to figure out what was going on with himself.

It was just a few stalks of chives, after all. The Gu family was poor, but they still grew chives in the backyard. He’d never eaten them before, but he’d seen them plenty of times, and never once had he felt such an urgent desire to eat them.

Before Gu Mo could make sense of it, Chen Qiaoqin had already put those few stalks of chives into a nearby basin, which was filled with freshly picked chives.

Chen Qiaoqin plucked a chive flower from another basin and dug out the chive seeds inside.

As unbelievable as all this seemed, what Chen Qiaoqin wanted most was to figure out exactly who the problem lay with.

She already had a vague guess in her heart; now, all she needed was to confirm whether she was right.

Chen Qiaoqin first took Gu Mo’s small hand and placed it on top of the chive seeds.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Time ticked by, but the chive seeds remained just chive seeds—nothing happened.

Chen Qiaoqin let go of Gu Mo’s hand and, smiling, turned to look at Yu Nuannuan.

Yu Nuannuan’s heart tightened. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didn’t try to avoid it.

Chen Qiaoqin took Yu Nuannuan’s hand and placed it on the chive seeds. Almost instantly, tender green chive shoots began to sprout from between their fingers.

Seeing this, Chen Qiaoqin felt both that it was only natural and yet utterly shocked.

Once the chives had grown to their normal length, they stopped growing on their own, just like the ones before, giving off a mouthwatering aroma.

Gu Mo’s little mouth twitched, and he swallowed hard.

What should he do? He was about to lose control.

The room was quiet, so even though Gu Mo’s swallowing was soft, both Yu Nuannuan and Chen Qiaoqin heard it.

They turned to look at him at the same time, only to see Gu Mo’s lips glistening.

Yu Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, then broke into a wide grin. “Dai Bao is just too cute! He’s actually drooling!”

Chen Qiaoqin put the chives into the basin, rubbed Gu Mo’s head, and said, “Are you hungry? I’ll go make you something to eat, okay? Dai Bao, be good and watch over Nuan Bao for me, will you?”

Although Gu Mo was only a year and a half old and usually looked a bit dazed, everyone in Sanliqiao knew he was an exceptionally smart child. Not only could he understand what adults said, he could also follow instructions very well.

Yu Nuannuan was even more well-behaved, so Chen Qiaoqin had no worries about leaving Gu Mo to watch her for a while.

As soon as Chen Qiaoqin left the room, Gu Mo stuck out his little bottom and stood up.

Yu Nuannuan watched, puzzled, as Gu Mo toddled over to the basin of freshly picked chives, reached out his chubby little hand, and grabbed a few stalks with impressive precision.

Yu Nuannuan immediately recognized them as the chives she had just used her powers to grow.

Gu Mo stared at the chives for a moment, then tore off a piece with his other hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Yu Nuannuan’s eyes went wide in shock, her mouth hanging open in disbelief.

In her previous life, she’d often seen news online about pica, but she’d never actually witnessed it in person.

Now that she’d transmigrated, was she really seeing it with her own eyes?

Maybe Yu Nuannuan’s gaze was too intense, because Gu Mo, while chewing, turned to look at her. His big, dark, grape-like eyes were filled with confusion.

Yu Nuannuan could almost see the circles of question marks floating above his little head!"
