Little Paper hates her older brother the most.

When she was little, her older brother would always sneak in and pinch her cheeks when their mother wasn't around.

I pinched her several times throughout the afternoon, making her cry and then running away, so the little paper in the cradle didn't get a single peaceful afternoon nap.

When she grew a little older, she was just trying to be nice by sticking to her brother and helping him practice calligraphy, but her brother, with a malicious heart, drew an ugly mustache on her face while she was fast asleep at the table.

She just played with Brother Yan and A Yue all day long, her face covered in graffiti.

When she finally realized something was wrong and came back to him crying in grievance, her brother was laughing so hard he could barely hold his pen.

Although her brother eventually bought her a huge bag of osmanthus sugar as an apology and tried to coax her, the little girl, still with tears in her eyes, angrily left two shallow teeth marks on his knuckles.

To make matters worse, because of that bag of candy, Xiaozhi's tooth, which hadn't been replaced yet, got decayed, and it hurt for a long time.

Her mother and father forbade her from eating candy anymore.

My brother has done absolutely terrible things!

Although he was five years older than her, her brother was sometimes so childish that Xiaozhi was speechless.

In spring, when the birds chirped and chattered in the pear tree, her brother would lift her up high and bring her close to the bird's nest, laughing as he let her quarrel with the magpies.

During the hottest part of summer, her brother would secretly take her to the river to catch fish.

She stood on the shore, holding a fish bigger than her head, and waited patiently for him. By the time her brother climbed up, soaking wet, her bewildered face was already slapped red like a persimmon by the fish's tail.

She cried as she threw down the bad fish and reached out to her brother, begging for a hug. Her brother was taken aback, then, holding his waist, burst into loud laughter.

Later, when the weather cooled down a bit, the leaves turned a crisp, maple-red color. Her brother buried her among the leaves and lied to her, saying that a cuter little sister would grow up next year.

Enraged, Little Paper suddenly darted out from the pile of leaves, her face contorted like a stray cat. With a snort, she tossed her braids and turned to leave.

She didn't wish for two older brothers, so her brothers can't have two younger sisters either.

Only one small piece of paper is allowed!

Later, it snowed. The sick girl kept sniffling because of the cold. Her mother wouldn't let her go out to play, so she could only sit by the window with her hands tucked in and watch her brother and A-Yue playing in the snow in the yard.

Her brother built a tiny snowman of her in the yard and deliberately drew a crying face on its face, which made her glare at him from the window.

Little Paper hates his older brother the most!

But it seems that the older brother likes the little paper the most.

"How can there be such an adorable little dumpling? Oh my, let big brother hug you, let big brother pinch you, let big brother rub you~"

When he sneaked in to disturb her afternoon nap, he would always say this with a smile.

Later, the little dumpling grew a bit bigger and always followed him around like a little tail.

While he practiced calligraphy, she would lie on his desk and sleep, her soft, white face pressed flat against the table. She must have been dreaming of something delicious, because her drool soaked the calligraphy book.

When he talked about it later, his eyes were filled with a bright smile. He even deliberately showed her the scar left after being bitten, pretending to be sad, so that his bad-tempered sister would feel guilty and uneasy.

So the little paper held the finger and blew on it, saying in a muffled voice that it loved its brother the most.

In the bright and clear March sunshine, he looked down at the teeth marks on his knuckles with a look that was both helpless and tender.

He kindly gave her a bag of candy, but the silly girl secretly took it and ate it as her meal. By the time he realized something was wrong, she was already clutching her aching tooth, tears welling up in her eyes, and had gone to her mother to complain.

In the end, he received a mixed doubles beating, while she was permanently deprived of the right to eat candy.

This is bad.

The magpies nesting in the pear tree were constantly chattering, which was extremely bothersome to him as he practiced his sword in the courtyard. After thinking for a moment, he simply went back inside, picked up his little sister, and lifted her high up under her arms—

The noisiest thing in the house is this little gadget that keeps making noise.

She called him "brother" all day long. If he ignored her, she would either burst into tears or, with her gap-toothed smile, tug at his sleeve and giggle, her eyes sparkling.

He wanted to see who was noisier, her or the magpie.

She was the one who was greedy and wouldn't let go of the biggest fish, but after being "beaten" by the fish, she felt extremely wronged. Her little face turned red, and she cried as she snuggled into his arms, complaining.

That's terrible!

That very night, he took the bad fish to the kitchen to braise it.

If he heard a "crunching" sound, it was definitely his little sister deliberately stomping on the dead leaves in front of his window. Unable to concentrate on his book, he sighed and grabbed her by the back of her collar, burying her in the pile of leaves.

"Next year, an even cuter baby girl will grow up."

This is obviously a lie to children.

But no matter what he said, that little fool would believe him unconditionally. She even quarreled with him for a long time because of this, until he secretly "smuggled" a piece of candy to her without telling her parents, which finally made her happy.

Snowfall is the happiest time of the year for her.

He didn't know why she was so keen on building ugly snowmen, but unfortunately, she got sick this year because she kicked off the blankets at night and got cold, and sadly lost the right to go out and play in the snow.

I turned my head and saw my little sister, dressed like a ball, leaning against the window with her hands tucked in, looking longingly at me. She was incredibly cute.

He built a small doll in the yard and drew two wide teardrops on it with a twig. When she saw it, she stood at the window, pacing back and forth angrily, puffing out her cheeks and glaring at him.

However, he was already quite skilled at coaxing her.

That evening, he sculpted a small snow rabbit on her windowsill. When Mei Bao woke up the next day and saw it, her eyes crinkled into crescents with joy, and she carried the snow rabbit around to show it off to everyone.

He always subconsciously indulged her, fulfilling her unreasonable demands and spoiling her childish temper, making her even more willful.

But there's nothing we can do.

It's because my brother loves paper the most.

She was bright, she was lively, she grew freely, unlike a flower, more like a tenacious sapling. Year after year, he silently watched over this sapling as it sprouted new green buds.

How could he bear to refuse any of her requests?

So when she sweetly pleaded, "Brother, go out with Mom, so you can secretly bring me candy when you come back," he agreed without a second thought.

On the way back, he couldn't help but smile as he held the candy in his purse.

He thought that his little sister would be so happy that she would jump up and run into his arms to be held, and maybe she would even say sweet things like, "Brother is the best brother in the world!" which he loved to hear.

The moment he pushed open the door, his world collapsed.

The little girl, still sucking on candy, gradually lost her warmth in his arms. Her eyes became empty, her hands fell limply, and she breathed her last.

He pinched her cold face with trembling hands, but she didn't open her eyes angrily like she did when she was a child. She didn't cry, and even her clear, clean eyes no longer looked at him with a smile.

He thought he would do anything, as long as it wasn't this cruel.

If only he hadn't agreed to go out and buy her candy, if only he had stayed by her side, if only he had been the one who died, if only she could choose again.

So when the ball of light that claimed to be Mei Bao's friend appeared and told him that he could take him back half an hour earlier, he released Mei Bao from his arms and gently wiped the bloodstains from her face.

good.

You know, from childhood to adulthood, your brother has always been willing to do anything for you.

"My nickname is Paper, and my brother's nickname is Jian. Oh dear, Daddy and Mommy are so sweet~ I wonder when Daddy will finish fighting and come back to the capital. I miss him a little bit."

"Brother, brother, good brother~~ Please come to the market with Mom and secretly buy me some candy, okay?"

"Why is it bad? It's awful! I'm never talking to you again!"

"Who came in, brother?"

"Brother, I'm so scared..."

"Why am I hiding here? Where is my brother? Where is he hiding? I'm so scared. Please, let's stay together forever. Please, at least don't leave me here alone. I don't want to leave you..."

"If I bite it without making a sound, will my brother come back? I'll wait for you, so you must remember to come back, and please, please don't forget me here."

"If you forget me, I will never forgive you."

The little girl, huddled inside the low cabinet, gazed at him with soft, dependent eyes. Zhan Yinshu smiled, patted her head, slid a piece of his sleeve over her, and then pressed his back tightly against her, blocking the cabinet door.

"Sweetie, your brother loves paper the most."

He had teased her mischievously so many times, but this was the one thing he had never lied to her about.
