It was like a bolt of thunder falling, which made Nuo Xia's heart sway and tremble.
"This...this..."
He turned back in disbelief and pointed at Nami, who was drowsily rubbing her eyes on the bed, and then pointed at himself, "I, I...did you hear me right just now? Nami...Nami can call her daddy."
?!"
"..."
Bellemare was also stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Dad, dad~"
At this time, little Nami blinked and called out softly and softly. Her speech was still vague, but in the quiet bedroom, it was much clearer to her ears than before.
"Hey, did you hear that? You really called me!"
Now that it was finally confirmed, Nuo Xia was so happy that she rushed to the bedside, squatted down, and stared happily at this cute pink face from only a few dozen centimeters away.
Seeing him coming closer, little Nami, who was almost fully awake, giggled and stretched out her little hand to scratch his chin.
Nuo Xia leaned over and got closer, letting his stubble be fiddled with by the soft and fat little hands, and her heart felt as sweet as melting honey.
"Looking at your virtue, you are so smiling that I really want to punch you."
Bellemeier, who was watching all this, said sourly, "I haven't heard little Nami speak for so long. I didn't expect that the one who called her for the first time was not mom, but you..."
"Hahaha, after all, I was a little too young before."
Nuo Xia did not hide his pride at all, and almost grinned like a dragon king, "It's only been five months since these two days, right? But Bellemere, what does this mean? Huh? It means that the little guy is undoubtedly more like me.
Kiss me a little bit."
The girl with long maroon hair raised her ponytail, turned her head and snorted, not wanting to pay attention to him anymore.
The terms mother and father are commonly used all over the world. In fact, it is because when babies are five or six months old and start babbling, these two monosyllabic words are the easiest to pronounce.
As for who is the father or the mother, it is completely random. Most of the time it is vague and cannot be distinguished at all, but young couples often like to insist on fighting for clarity.
Obviously, the invincible Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Lord Nosha, and his childhood sweetheart are no exception.
…
Little Nami finally felt sleepy again, and was coaxed to sleep by Bellemere.
And with the joy of being called "Dad" for the first time, Nuo Xia put Nuo Qi on her neck and walked out of the door in high spirits.
Woof woof~!
Dingchun also followed behind, wagging his tail, taking his daughter shopping and walking the dog at the same time.
The residential area behind the Navy Headquarters has more than 100,000 residents. It can be considered a large town in any island country outside.
Naturally, there is no shortage of various supporting facilities inside, such as restaurants, coffee shops, playgrounds, parks, hospitals... everything is available, quite complete.
Originally, Malinvando has spring all year round. After the sun came out in the morning, it dissipated a lot of the winter chill. Walking on the road, the wind was high and the air was refreshing, which made people feel comfortable.
As soon as we entered the main street, there were various stalls selling snacks, such as fried skewers and barbecue, candies, milk tea, etc., as well as many strange and unnamed things.
It's not enough anymore.
but.
Probably because he has survived several wars, the little guy is surprisingly sensible compared to his peers.
I obviously saw some food that I had never seen before, and I stared at it, so greedy that I almost drooled, but I didn't take the initiative to say anything.
Are you used to being frugal?
Nuo Xia quickly noticed this and couldn't help but think of Nuo Qigao in the original timeline.
That girl, despite experiencing countless hardships since childhood, remained strong and optimistic when she grew up. While dealing with the evil dragons, she was still able to maintain her mother's orange grove...
"Are you hungry, Nokigao?"
He rubbed the little guy's head, smiled and said warmly: "Which one do you want to eat? Just ask, I will buy it for you."
"...Mr. Nosha."
Nuo Qigao was a little hesitant, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. He pointed to the ice cream cart at the corner of the street and whispered: "I... I want to eat that cone..."
Noxia looked at the ice cream cart. The price list on it was densely packed, listing dozens of dessert sundaes, with the average price being around 500 Baileys.
The cone that Nozhiko mentioned is at the top of the price list and is also the cheapest, costing only 100 beli.
"Silly boy."
Nuo Xia laughed dumbly, rubbed Nuo Qigao's little face again, took her to the front of the cart, and said: "Please give me a cone. In addition, the most expensive sundaes in the back have all the same flavors.
Come one."
"Eh?"
Nuo Qigao's eyes widened immediately, and he hurriedly moved to Nuo Xia's right ear, "Don't, don't buy so much... Mr. Nuo Xia, I, I can't eat..."
"Try a little of everything. Don't worry, anything you can't finish won't be wasted. I'll take care of it all for you!"
Nuo Xia laughed loudly, and then he proudly dug into his suit pocket and took out several 10,000-yuan banknotes from it.
As a lieutenant general in his headquarters, not to mention other benefits, his monthly fixed salary is more than five million beli.
Not to mention that not long ago, he was awarded 200 million beli by the world government, and now he is a real billionaire. To him, this small amount of money is no different than waste paper.
All kinds of sundaes were quickly prepared, all packaged and handed over, and the money was returned with them.
"What is this for?" He looked at the stall owner strangely.
"You...you are Lieutenant General Nuo Xia, right?"
The stall owner was a young girl in her twenties. Seeing him look at her, she lowered her head shyly and said coyly: "You, you are my idol. I finally met you, how can I accept your money?"
"
"How can you say that? Small business is not easy."
Nuo Xia insisted on paying, but the little girl was more stubborn and refused to accept it. In the end, she had no choice but to leave with Nuo Qigao and a large bag of dessert ice cream under the admiring gaze of the stall owner.
On the street corner not far away, there are some tables and chairs made of wood and rattan, with sun umbrellas on top for passers-by to rest.
The father and daughter sat down opposite each other, and Nuo Xia placed all kinds of sundaes on the table one by one. Nuo Qi Gao looked at these tempting desserts and swallowed again and again, but he never started them. Instead, he put them in front of him.
I pushed several cups towards the opposite side——
"Mr. Nuo Xia, you eat first..."
Eh?
Before he finished speaking, Nuo Qigao's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
She clearly saw that after Nuosha finished placing the sundae, he took out the banknotes, crossed his legs, sat on the wicker chair, and flicked his fingers.
A few banknotes flew out like birds, and fell into the money drawer in the gap that the young stall girl didn't notice...
Only then did Nuo Xia turn around and glance at Nuo Qigao, "What did you just say?"
"Okay, so awesome!"
The little guy completely forgot about the sundae at this time. He couldn't help but put his hands on the table and sat upright, looking at Nosha's hands with admiration:
"How on earth did you do it, Mr. Nosha!"
Children are like this. Too many high-level things are false. The Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters has a glorious resume of defeating many big pirates. For her, it is not as shocking as the scene in front of her.
"It's just a little trick."
The admiring look from his daughter made Nuo Xia very helpful. He demonstrated several other tricks with great joy, which made Nuo Xia cheer in surprise. Later, under Nuo Xia's urging and reminder, when he was finally ready to start, the cone
The sundae was a little melted and deformed in the sun.
The flavor was slightly affected, but I was still very happy to eat Nozhiko. One moment I tasted strawberry flavor, another moment it was blueberry pudding, then chocolate, cheese... From time to time, I would raise the cup in my hand high, with a look on my face.
I eagerly sent it to Nuo Xia, hoping that he would also have a taste.
The latter also smiled unceremoniously and shared all the flavors. In the meantime, he deliberately swallowed all the chocolate in one mouthful, which made the little guy feel embarrassed and angry. He hit his chest several times with his small fist.
arm.
"Huh?"
The two of them and the dog were enjoying themselves happily, but at this moment, a somewhat surprising voice suddenly sounded from not far behind.
"Why do you have time to hang around here? Whose child is this?"
With this familiar tone, Nuo Xia knew who it was without turning around. He turned around and saw, as expected, Qing Zhi, wearing a casual printed shirt, holding a cup of coffee and looking at him in surprise.
"When my family comes to pick me up, I just ask for a day off to relax with them."
Nuo Xia pointed to the empty wicker chair next to her, "Sit down. What about you, Kuzan? Don't tell me that you sneaked out secretly?"
"How can there be..."
Aoki pulled out a chair and sat down, shrugged and said, "I just have to go to the New World at noon to perform a mission. Before I leave, I want to drink coffee from Ice Bakery, so I came over to buy a cup and take a look around."
"Going to the new world? What mission?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just Saka... The G1 branch has been doing something recently, and the manpower is a bit tight. I have to rush over to help, and I won't be able to stay for a few days."
Qingzhi didn't seem to want to mention that name. After turning away, he looked up at Nuo Qigao and said with great interest, "Compared with this, you haven't answered my question yet. Whose child is this little cutie?"
, are you a relative?"
There is action at the g1 branch...
Are they going to take action against the Big Mom Pirates or the Beast Pirates to take revenge for the previous defeat of the G7 branch?
"you guess?"
After withdrawing his thoughts, Nuo Xia smiled and touched Nuo Qigao's short blue hair, "Nuo, this guy is my companion. He is not too old. You can just call him brother Kuzan."
Nokigao immediately put down the sundae in his hand and nodded obediently towards Qing Zhi: "Brother Kuzan."
Is it really called that?
"He is a good boy, but he should be called uncle."
Qingzhi first smiled kindly at the little guy, then turned his head and looked at Nuo Xia speechlessly, "Hey, hey, hey, you want to take advantage of me, right? Do you want me to guess?"
"I can only sit here for a while, and I'll be leaving later. Don't be pretentious and tell me the answer directly."
"I thought you didn't like being called old."
Nuo Xia spread her hands and said with a smile, "As for Nuo Qigao... such a cute little guy, of course she is my daughter."
daughter?
Aoki was startled for a moment, then showed an expression of disbelief, even stammering when he spoke: "What... when? Why didn't I hear Gion say that you are... already this big?"
That’s not right!
This little guy looks like he's three years old, and how long have Gion and Nosha known each other?
Less than two years ago! He was the bridge between the two of them. He was at the scene at that time and I remember it very clearly!
and……
Although little Nokia is indeed extremely cute, and it is not an exaggeration to say that her facial features and skin color have inherited their excellent genes, but Gion and Nosha both have black hair and black eyes, so is it possible to give birth to a girl with blue hair?
Nuo Xia looked at him quietly, and then spoke quietly after a long time:
"Confused?"
Qing Pheasant nodded hurriedly.
"It won't be long before you know..." Nuo Xia sighed, rubbed his temples, and said with a smile, "I might need you then, help me persuade me to order some Gion..."
What does this mean?
Aoki looked confused, and before he could ask, Nuo Xia had already cleared away the remaining sundaes on the table, and happily left with Nuo Qi Gao in hand.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong..."
He murmured to himself, holding his chin and frowning in thought. After a long time, as if he thought of something, he took out the phone bug from his arms and dialed Taotu's number.
But at the moment when the connection was about to be connected, he looked at the back of the large and small figures retreating, and hesitantly pressed it down...
"Forget it, we can't get involved."
Aokiji, who had already imagined a bunch of messy plots in his mind, shrugged and stood up, put his coat on his shoulders, got up and walked towards the port, muttering:
"After all, I can't afford to offend either of these couples..."
————————
The other side.
After taking Nuo Qigao around for a long time, Nuo Xia took her back home until the little one was so tired that she couldn't hold it any longer.
Nami was still sleeping soundly, and Bellmeier, who was coaxing her, fell asleep beside her at some point. Looking at the scene of mother and daughter sleeping together, Nuo Xia smiled silently, leaned over and covered the girl with a thin blanket, and then
He carefully withdrew.
Dad also went to take a nap, which is his inherent habit.
Tulip was obviously still brooding over what Nuo Xia had revealed before, and she didn't go to bed. She was waiting on the sofa. When she saw Nuo Xia coming, she patted the side with an unkind tone:
"come over."
"..." Nuo Xia, who wanted to escape secretly, failed, so she turned around and laughed, "What are you doing, Mom?"
"What do you think?"
Tulip narrowed her eyes and sneered: "You're still here to hide it from me, okay? In addition to Bellemere, how many other girls have you hooked up with?"

I have to take a day off tomorrow to adjust and think things through. I will resume updating the day after tomorrow. I will tell you all here in advance, sorry.
