All the way, teasing Bi Xiaoyuan and listening to Little Bun’s endless chatter, Bi Xia couldn’t help but press his lips into a smile. Who would believe that the once little adult Bi Xiaoyuan always had a serious face...
"I already heard you two laughing at the stairway entrance, what’s so happy?" The sound of the door opening, Xia Shi opened the door and saw the two brothers halfway up the stairs, with warmth in his eyes.
"Mom! We’re back~" Bi Xiaoyuan hugged Bi Xia’s neck and turned excitedly to Xia Shi.
Bi Xia also laughed, "Why are you back so early today?"
"I haven’t cooked for you guys in a long time, I can’t just be busy with the store without caring for you," Xia Shi took the two backpacks off Bi Xia’s shoulder and tapped Bi Xiaoyuan’s forehead with her index finger, "Yuanyuan, didn’t we already tell you not to always let your brother carry you, you’re grown up now."
"It’s okay, he’s not heavy," she said, lifting Bi Xiaoyuan high by his armpits, hearing his screams and giggles, her starry eyes filled with laughter.
Resting on Bi Xia’s shoulder, Bi Yuan laughed with squinted eyes, panting heavily, and said softly to Xia Shi, "Mom, don’t worry about us. My brother and I agreed, now he carries me, and when I grow up, it’ll be me carrying him!"
After speaking, Little Bun turned and gave Bi Xia a kiss on the cheek, quickly climbed down from Bi Xia, his little face red but his eyes extremely earnest, "When the time comes, I’ll take care of my brother. I’ll kiss, hug and lift him up high too!"
"Hahahaha." Xia Shi couldn’t help but laugh, picturing her little son kissing, hugging and lifting up her daughter, two expressionless kids... this image was warm yet incongruous. Newest update provided by NovєlFіre.net
Oh dear, Bi Xia sighed lightly, raising his hand to pinch his brow. How could Little Bun have such peculiar ideas...
Seeing Xia Shi and Bi Xia’s expressions, Bi Yuan felt underestimated, his little cheeks puffing up, his childlike voice carrying a serious tone, "No laughing! No looking down on me! When I grow up I will prove it! Humph╭(╯^╰)╮!"
If the current Bi Xiaoyuan knew that when he truly became a strong and independent man, he would not only lose his brother’s warm embrace but also have someone competing for his brother’s attention, he would surely stick to Bi Xia every day, not letting anyone take his brother away... but the key is, he doesn’t know that now┑(￣Д￣)┍...
Laughing helplessly at Bi Yuan’s words, Bi Xia gently kicked the little one’s pudgy butt, "Go study right now, or don’t expect me to help you with your homework today."
Upon hearing this, Bi Xiaoyuan immediately swallowed his words, held his little backpack and ran back to his room, determined to seize every moment of time he could spend with his brother. Bi Xiaoyuan, you are indeed the smartest!
Xia Shi chuckled as she watched the room door being closed by Bi Yuan, and turned to Bi Xia saying, "In the future, stop spoiling Yuanyuan so much, you’ll end up spoiling him too much."
"It’s okay, if Little Bun grows up crooked, I’ll just straighten him out bit by bit," the corners of his lips curled up, starry eyes deep, "So even if I spoil him now, he’ll still be mine to handle."
"The key is..." Bi Xia raised his eyebrows, lifting his chin confidently to look at Xia Shi, "With such a smart and capable brother like me, how could Bi Xiaoyuan grow up crooked?"
"You and Yuanyuan, truly worthy of being brothers, both protective in the same way," Xia Shi’s eyes squinted with a laugh, suddenly falling silent.
After a while, she spoke slowly, "I’m sorry Xiaxia, compared to you, Yuanyuan is very lucky, to have someone like you..."
Xia Shi paused slightly and sighed lightly, "...a sister who loves and pampers him."
"Regardless of me being a brother or sister, it is my natural duty to care for my younger sibling, besides," Bi Xia interrupted Xia Shi, turning his eyes to her, "I’ll always be the lucky one compared to Bi Xiaoyuan."
