Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute-Chapter 38 - 0: Awesome, My Genius Cute Kid
Chapter 38: Chapter 038: Awesome, My Genius Cute Kid
After resting in the space for a while, Su Shu decided to go out.
But as soon as she stepped out, her soul almost flew out of her body in fright!
At the door, the Dinosaur toy was squatting on the floor with an apple in its embrace, like a door deity, staring at her…
Patting her chest to calm her racing heart, she looked around and did not find Xiao’ai’s figure, but… if it wasn’t Xiao’ai, how did the Dinosaur toy get here?
She bent down to pick up the apple and touched it; it was washed.
Was it Xiao’ai who washed it?
Hadn’t she gone to sleep?
Su Shu’s brain went blank for a moment as if she suddenly realized something. After she went into the space, Xiao’ai couldn’t have woken up and come looking for her, could she?
If the apple was from Xiao’ai, what would she think finding no auntie in the bedroom? For a moment, Su Shu stood there, looking at the apple in her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Crunch, she took a bite of the apple.
This little girl of hers, silent all day, who knows what goes on inside that little head of hers. It seems she still hasn’t let go of the matters that she can’t understand. Now, what must she be thinking when she wakes up to find her auntie not in the house?
However, Su Shu soon felt puzzled again. Since Xiao’ai knew she wasn’t in the room, how did Xiao’ai decide to leave the apple here? Could she have the ability to foresee events?
Thinking hard but unable to figure it out, Su Shu picked up the Dinosaur toy from the floor, bit into the apple, and left through the door. After all the fuss, she felt a little peckish and wanted to find something to eat for a midnight snack.
But…
Right in front of the bedroom, a pair of big black eyes were staring straight at her from the couch.
Biting into the apple, Su Shu froze at the doorway, still holding the Dinosaur toy…
Su Shu: …Has this child been waiting here the whole time?
Xiao’ai wrapped her arms around her chest, her delicate little eyebrows suddenly raised, her dark, shiny eyes twinkled as if she had found a breakthrough in a problem that had puzzled her for a long time. Suddenly, she flipped over, slid off the couch, and ran toward Su Shu, tiptoeing to reach for the “little friend” in Su Shu’s hand.
Su Shu came back to her senses and quickly returned the Dinosaur toy to her, feeling slightly embarrassed, “Well… Xiao’ai…”
Xiao’ai took back the Dinosaur toy without any reaction and went around Su Shu to take a look into her bedroom, though it was unclear what she was looking for. Then she turned and went back to her own room.
“Xiao’ai?” Su Shu wanted to go over and explain, although she didn’t know exactly what to explain.

The bedroom door slammed shut right in front of her nose.
Standing outside the door, Su Shu touched her nose, well, it seemed her status had plummeted, almost as much as Xiao’ai’s snack stash.
Even a fool could understand Xiao’ai’s series of actions.
Su Shu sat on the couch, looking at Xiao’ai’s tightly closed door. When she went into the space, Xiao’ai must have woken up and not found her, then began to doubt. The little girl was just as she expected, not at all dumb; not to mention her careful observance. Just the other day, the child started to puzzle over something, her perseverance showing as she followed alongside her every day with the determination to understand, no matter how sleepy or tired. Su Shu had to admire that.
The little girl was only five years old!
It seemed the doubts of the past few days and today’s apple might all be the reasons this little girl wanted to figure things out.
Su Shu had never taken care of children before, so she didn’t know how much comprehension a five-year-old girl could have about the events happening around her. But when she came out, there was Xiao’ai, sitting at the couch, watching and waiting the whole time. What was she waiting for?
Was she waiting for her to come out? Su Shu thought.
Could it be that this little girl wanted to see if she would come out of the seemingly empty bedroom?
If she came back from outside the front door, that would be normal, perhaps she had gone out. But if she came out from the bedroom, that would mean the auntie was a ghost… uh?
Could a five-year-old child consider such complex causes and effects with such a high level of intelligence?
Su Shu looked toward Xiao’ai’s room, suddenly feeling a little uneasy. Xiao’ai was young. How would a child interpret these sudden disappearances and appearances?
Good heavens! She, a grown person who had faced all kinds of big storms, had been reborn and had inadvertently stumbled in front of a little tot?
Such a careless mistake!
