Bai Zhi’er’s glistening eyes also turned to Bai Xingye.
The little one waved her tiny hand, "Sixth Brother, you lost, you didn’t find Zhi Bao!"
Bai Xingye remained in a state of disbelief.
So... she didn’t die?
After realizing this fact, Bai Xingye felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.
He pressed his thin lips together, gradually calming his inner rage.
"Losing is losing," Bai Xingye said nonchalantly.
Bai Zhi’er reached out her little hand, "I want Sixth Brother to hold me."
Third Young Master Bai Yaoyu was startled and then laughed, "Isn’t it good to have Third Brother hold you? Your Sixth Brother isn’t strong."
Bai Zhi’er shook her little head.
"Sixth Brother lost to Zhi’er in hide and seek, so the punishment is to hold Zhi Bao!"
Fifth Heir said quietly from the side, "Why didn’t such a punishment fall to me?"
Bai Zhi’er waved her little hand, "Sixth Brother, come here~"
Bai Xingye hesitated for a moment but eventually stepped over.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Bai Xingye, who was usually prone to fits of rage, carefully held his sister in his arms.
Third Young Master was particularly concerned, "Sixth Brother, if you can’t hold her, just say so. Don’t drop our sister."
Bai Zhi’er’s soft little voice assured, "Third Brother, don’t worry. If Sixth Brother is about to drop me, Zhi Bao will jump off by herself, no fear!"
Everyone chuckled lightly.
Holding Bai Zhi’er, Bai Xingye headed towards the main courtyard.
His movements were cautious, as if afraid that walking too fast might cause him and his sister to fall.
The milky fragrance from Bai Zhi’er’s body wafted to his nose.
The little one blinked her curious big eyes at him, "Sixth Brother, you’re so sweaty, let Zhi Bao wipe it for you."
She used her tiny hand to gently wipe the sweat on his forehead.
Bai Xingye had been quite frightened by the thought that Bai Zhi’er might have drowned earlier.
After sweating, his whole body felt like it had been dipped in water.
But he said, "Take care of yourself. Do you know that sleeping here made everyone worry sick?"
Bai Zhi’er looked at him with her round, innocent black eyes, "Zhi Bao was wrong~"
Listening to her soft and sweet tone, Bai Xingye found it hard to stay angry.
He awkwardly pursed his lips, saying, "Forget it, you didn’t mean to."
"Uh-huh! Next time Zhi Bao will definitely tell everyone before hiding again!" the little one said assertively.
Bai Xingye was taken aback.
It was as if he just realized that this little one still wanted a next time!?
"No next time either!" Bai Xingye corrected sharply, "There is no next time."
Bai Zhi’er’s round face was lively and cute, "Sixth Brother, you lost to me. Can you promise Zhi’er one thing?"
Bai Xingye gave her a sidelong glance, "Let me hear it."
The little one said, "Can Sixth Brother go to the academy with Zhi Bao tomorrow?"
He hated crowded places the most.
But looking into Bai Zhi’er’s eyes full of anticipation, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse. For original chapters go to NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Recalling today, he almost let her run off.
Bai Xingye hesitated and then said, "I’ll accompany you just once!"
Bai Zhi’er cheered joyfully, wrapping her little arms around Bai Xingye’s neck, "Sixth Brother is the best!"
Taking this opportunity, Bai Zhi’er leaned her little head on Bai Xingye’s shoulder.
This caused the other brothers to frown in unison.
Bai Xingye couldn’t help but crack a smile but quickly suppressed it.
What nobody knew was.
Bai Zhi’er’s dark eyes discreetly watched the surrounding area, eyeing the dozen or so wild ghosts eager to cling to Bai Xingye.
