Ye Zhi leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Do you know who I just saw?"
He didn’t reply, casting a questioning look at her.
"I ran into Liu Qingxi, she’s at Shuyu Building, without any maid, but there should be guards secretly protecting her."
"She’s wearing a red outfit today, easy to recognize."
"Oh, and she’s wearing a crystal red bean hairpin on her head. I bet tonight she’ll go with her maid Cai Yu to Yanming Lake to release lanterns and visit Qiyang Bridge."
"She likes rabbits, so when you go there tonight, remember to buy a white rabbit mask with red edges from the stall, and wear it tonight."
"Also, remember to carry a rabbit-shaped lantern in your hand, you can set them off together..."
After Ye Zhi finished nagging him with a lot of instructions, she stopped speaking, her crescent-shaped eyebrows raised at him, her eyes sparkling like stars, as if saying: Praise me.
The intention to please was quite obvious.
The young boy in green didn’t understand, his face dark and unclear, cool and indifferent, without words.
Fussing all morning, before the hour of Chen had passed, the sun wasn’t glaring, its lazy rays flowed through the straight window to shine in the No.1 private room of Ping’an Restaurant.
Ye Zhi was used to his aloof demeanor, which made her happy as it allowed her to relax; as long as he listened to her, he didn’t have to bother with her, she’s tough as iron, without feelings.
Ye Lin, who had been watching their small interactions from the side, couldn’t sit still any longer.
What was going on here?
Did that kid just ignore his precious little sister?
Ungrateful wretch! Ye Lin’s face turned dark, and he coughed twice menacingly towards Shen Chen over Ye Zhi, glaring at him fiercely.
Shen Chen glanced over indifferently, then returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
The Ye Family is just like this, acting unpredictably, except for the married eldest daughter who has some brains, the remaining Ye siblings are all hopeless cases.
Ye Zhi didn’t miss her brother’s intimidating look towards someone she cared about, just what were they trying to do?
Isn’t dying fast enough for them? After all, he’s the main male character personally chosen by the author...
Giving her brother a warning look, she picked up a white porcelain teapot and poured him a cup of tea, grumbling, "Brother, if your throat is uncomfortable, drink some water instead of coughing there."
She also pinched his arm hard under the table.
"How dare you lay hands on your brother, don’t blame me for being rude," Ye Lin was angry that his sister sided with an outsider, and not to be outdone, pinched her fair little face.
This pinch was serious indeed.
He was a martial artist, strong and vigorous, usually engaging in roughhousing with his brothers.
The other party was a frail seven-year-old girl, she couldn’t be compared with his brothers.
Ye Zhi’s face turned red quickly from his careless pinch, it hurt so much, it seemed like half her face had gone stiff.
Her sparkling eyes immediately filled with tears.
She turned her teary eyes to complain coquettishly to the person beside her, "Shen Chen, my brother bullied me, it hurts."
After saying this, she froze for a moment, realizing she had sought help from the wrong person, she looked up at his indifferent expression, then turned to her mother chatting zealously with the Teacher, "Mom, brother hit me, look, my face was pinched by him, it’s blue."
Look here.
She turned her left cheek, pitifully showing it, flushed red.
With her fragile, tearful appearance, it drew compassion from others.
Seeing her little daughter’s state, the fury in Ye Family’s matron’s heart ignited.
Her son was indeed a constant worry, she glared at her son, regardless of the Teachers present, and roared, "Ye Lin, what are you doing? How can you bear to act so harshly on your own sister? Did you grow bear-hearted or leopard-gutted? Why not just strangle her to death? You’ll do anything!"
