"Oh! Zhi’er!" Prince Kang and his wife exclaimed.
However, the small figures of the siblings had already run quite a distance away.
Bai Zhi’er pulled Bai Xingye, the Sixth Prince, and they both hid under a grapevine.
They happened to be hidden by a row of bushes in front of them.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her big round eyes, watching the maid of the Princess Consort Kang searching nearby.
"Neither the Princess nor the Sixth Prince is here; let’s look elsewhere."
The maid left with the others.
At this moment, Bai Xingye, who was crouching beside Bai Zhi’er, suddenly seemed to come to his senses and abruptly let go of the little one’s hand.
Bai Zhi’er hurriedly chased after him for two steps, grabbing his sleeve: "Sixth Brother, where are you going?"
Bai Xingye’s steps suddenly stopped.
He remembered last time when he wanted to run, Bai Zhi’er held on to his clothes.
In their tussle, she ended up tearing his clothes apart!
This four-year-old little one was really strong!
To prevent his clothes from being ruined again, Bai Xingye stood still, looking back at her in irritation.
"If you want to play, just go find Third Brother, Fourth Brother, or Fifth Brother to accompany you. Just don’t bother me."
"I have no time to play with you!"
Bai Zhi’er blinked her innocent and pure black eyes: "Then what does Sixth Brother need to do?"
This really stumped Bai Xingye.
He... had nothing to do.
The little one tilted her head, asking, "Is it to practice martial arts like Third Brother? Or to earn silver like Fourth Brother, or to study at the private school like Fifth Brother?"
"I..." Bai Xingye furrowed his little eyebrows, unable to answer.
He simply said impatiently, "Why are you asking so much? I’m not telling you!"
Bai Zhi’er pouted, her round and chubby little face showing innocence and pity.
"But Zhi Bao wants to play with Sixth Brother."
A round object suddenly fell onto Bai Zhi’er’s head, lightly hitting her forehead before dropping at her feet.
The little one looked down and widened her eyes in delight: "The grapes are ripe!"
She let go of Bai Xingye’s sleeve and bent down to pick up the grape.
Bai Xingye didn’t seize this opportunity to run away.
He crossed his arms, watching the little one’s actions, and sneered twice: "Are you foolish? It’s only spring now, grapes are green, they’re not edible yet, they’re not ripe!"
Bai Zhi’er blinked her eyes: "Why would it fall if it’s not ripe? It must be ripe!"
Saying this, she decisively peeled the grape with her little hands.
The grape was green, it was obviously sour!
However, after Bai Zhi’er put it into her mouth, her expression became very satisfied as she squinted her eyes.
As soon as she spoke, another grape fell from the vine.
Bai Zhi’er quickly picked it up: "Sixth Brother, I’ll peel it for you, it’s really sweet!"
Bai Xingye watched her expression, becoming suspicious.
"Can you really eat it?"
"Yes!" The little one’s fair fingers quickly peeled off the grape skin and handed it to Bai Xingye’s mouth.
Bai Xingye furrowed his brows; after thinking about it, he still decided not to eat something given by others.
However, just as he opened his mouth, Bai Zhi’er took the opportunity to stuff it into his mouth.
Not giving him a chance to voice his refusal at all.
Bai Xingye’s eyes widened.
Bai Zhi’er asked with a smile, "Is it sweet?"
Bai Xingye chewed twice.
It was probably not ripe enough; the sweetness was okay, but there wasn’t much juice. The source of thɪs content is NoveIＦire.net
He furrowed his brow and slowly nodded: "It’s alright maybe."
