After saying that, Bai Xingye lifted his head and looked at the grapevine in confusion.
The grapes aren’t ripe yet, how come they’re edible?
Could it be that this little sister got lucky?
Bai Xingye wanted to try if the others were just as sweet.
At this moment, Bai Xingye looked down and saw a grape lying on the ground.
He walked over, picked it up, wiped it on his sleeve, and popped it into his mouth.
As soon as he bit into it, a sour juice burst out!
Bai Xingye let out an "ugh" and spat it all out.
"So sour!" His delicate features scrunched up!
Bai Zhi’er blinked her big eyes that were like black pearls.
She looked at Bai Xingye and said, "Sixth Brother, only the two that just fell can be eaten; the others aren’t ripe yet!"
Bai Xingye coughed a few times, then looked up, annoyed, and said, "How was I supposed to know? Why is it that the ones you picked were sweet?"
The little one pointed to the grapevine above them.
"Just now, an old man floated by and helped Zhi Bao knock down two sweet grapes. He said the rest are very sour and can’t be eaten."
An old man floated by?
Bai Xingye immediately frowned and looked up at the sky.
The spring weather was clear, and the sky was adorned only with white, cotton-like clouds.
He clenched his fists.
This Bai Zhi’er, trying to scare him?
Bai Xingye turned around and walked away with a huff, "You go play by yourself."
Bai Zhi’er lifted her little foot and followed after him.
"I said don’t call me, and don’t follow me either!" Bai Xingye turned his head and shouted irritably.
He was genuinely ill and could lose control at any moment.
Why wasn’t this little sister afraid at all!
Bai Zhi’er pouted sadly, "Alright then, Zhi Bao just wanted to remind you, on your shoulder, there’s a bug..."
Bai Xingye was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look.
There on his right shoulder was a green caterpillar that had fallen at some point!
It probably dropped from the grapevine just now.
Bai Xingye wasn’t afraid of bugs; he angrily brushed it off and stomped on it twice.
"Is it better now!" he snarled.
Bai Zhi’er squatted down and looked at the bug on the ground.
The little creature was round and pink, and with a delicate, sticky voice, she exclaimed, "Sixth Brother, the bug is so strong, it actually didn’t get squished to death by you."
Bai Xingye was taken aback.
Bai Zhi’er continued, "Brother, don’t stomp on it. It must like you, which is why it landed on your shoulder. You can’t break its heart."
Hearing this, Bai Xingye frowned again.
This is ridiculous logic!
Who has the time to care about a bug!
Bai Xingye was about to leave, but then he noticed Bai Zhi’er following him again.
He sighed in dissatisfaction.
Looks like if he doesn’t shake off this little sister today,
he won’t find any peace today.
Bai Xingye thought for a moment, "Since you want to play with me, let’s play hide-and-seek, shall we?"
"Hide-and-seek? Yes, yes!" Bai Zhi’er’s eyes sparkled with happiness.
That was her favorite game!
Bai Xingye smirked inwardly.
With a facade of seriousness, he said, "Then you hide, and I’ll find you. Remember, if I can’t find you, you can’t come out; you must keep hiding, got it?"
Bai Zhi’er blinked her long lashes, obediently nodding, "Okay! Zhi Bao will listen to Brother!"
Bai Xingye closed his eyes, "I’m going to start counting. You better find a place to hide."
A flurry of little footsteps hurried off, getting further away. This text is hosted at NoveI★Fire.net
Bai Xingye couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.
Ha, finally managed to send that pesky little one away.
