Zhi’er finally agreed to lift her precious little bottom.
The little one has a clear sense of right and wrong, even if she didn’t like Bai Xuanmo’s original ferocity.
But she still turned around, stretched out her small hands, and grabbed his arm, trying to help pull him up.
However, just as Bai Xuanmo sat up, Zhi’er fell back down on her bottom.
The siblings looked at each other and found that their sitting postures were quite similar.
Zhi’er couldn’t help but giggle.
"Fierce brother, you look so funny!"
Bai Xuanmo snorted, "You are also quite funny, like a duckling that fell over."
Zhi’er crossed her small arms and puffed up her pink little face, "I’m not a duckling!"
In the end, Bai Xuanmo stood up and pulled the little one up, brushing off the dust from both of them.
Zhi’er blinked her long eyelashes, her little face looking very well-behaved and cute.
"Fierce brother, I’ve decided not to hide from you anymore, because you look fierce, but just now, thank you for helping Zhi’er up."
Bai Xuanmo raised an eyebrow, "Little Ball is quite conscientious, can you call me big brother and let me hear it?"
Zhi’er stubbornly turned her little head, "No! I still need to observe some more."
Bai Xuanmo chuckled, "Such a precocious little ghost."
Without a word, he gave the little one’s head a playful rub.
The child’s hair was soft and smooth, very pleasant to the touch.
Perhaps it was because of the running earlier, after working up a sweat, Bai Xuanmo felt that the daze of the past few days had disappeared.
His mind felt much clearer.
He held Zhi’er’s little hand, and the siblings walked back along the corridor.
"After this incident, Little Ball, you’ll like big brother the most from now on, right?"
Zhi’er tilted her little face up, "No, Third Brother and Fourth Brother are both nicer to Zhi’er!"
Bai Xuanmo frowned, showing displeasure, "What can they do? Let’s not talk about Fourth Brother, he can only spend money on you. As for Third Brother, he may be strong, but can he help you fight?"
Zhi’er immediately shook her head, "Third Brother often takes me to eat delicious food!"
Listening to her praise Bai Yaoyu and Bai Daoyan, Bai Xuanmo’s frown deepened.
A strange sense of competitiveness rose within him.
He suddenly lifted Zhi’er and walked towards the gate of the estate.
"Eating, shopping, it’s just these things? Big Brother can do it too, come on, today I’ll show you who the best brother really is!"
Upon hearing there would be food, the pearl-like grape eyes of Zhi’er lit up with all the little stars.
She didn’t resist or struggle, obediently letting Bai Xuanmo carry her out.
On the way, they ran into Qingmei, who had come searching for them.
The little one said in a soft, childish voice, "We’re going out to eat something yummy!"
They sat in Bai Xuanmo’s carriage.
He asked, "There seems to be quite a stir recently in the court, I heard you went to study at the Mingyang Academy, did someone bully you?"
Zhi’er’s small hand was trying hard to fix her crooked bun on the top of her head.
But her hair was already loose, no matter how hard she tried to lift the two "little buns" back into place.
In the end, they would always fall back down.
This made Zhi’er quite frustrated.
Thus, in her soft reply, there was also a touch of annoyance, "It’s just a bunch of bad guys, Daddy already took care of it~"
Bai Xuanmo thought for a moment, a flash of excitement born from his ruthlessness appeared in his handsome and demonic eyes.
"Isn’t that Gao Qianqian still around? How about big brother poisons her mute for you?"
Zhi’er was struggling with the two "buns" on her head when she heard this. The little one’s movements paused, maintaining the posture of lifting the "buns," and she turned to look at Bai Xuanmo.
"Fierce brother, I’m only three and a half, I can’t hear such cruel things!"
