"It's just a coincidence. My kitten doesn't like the name Bai Ze at all!"

Little Yanbao proudly declared, but unexpectedly...

"Meow~"

The little white cat reacted to the name "Bai Ze" once again, and even when it was by Ye Ming's side, it was unusually well-behaved.

It feels like I've been slapped in the face.

Xiao Yanbao looked embarrassed.

"Mimi, be good, don't make a sound!"

The little dumpling gave a command to the white kitten, then reached out and patted its head, coaxing, "You can't meow every time you hear the name Bai Ze~"

But the kitten reacted to the name "Bai Ze" once again.

"Meow~"

"..."

Xiao Yanbao was completely speechless.

Ye Ming raised an eyebrow, seemingly quite pleased with himself, and said, "It seems it really is a Bai Ze!"

"Meow meow meow..."

The little white kitten reacted with obvious excitement.

It really likes the name Bai Ze!

Left with no other choice, Xiao Yanbao had to change the little white cat's name to Bai Ze.

"You still haven't answered me: why are you here?"

Xiao Yanbao steered the conversation back to the present, tilting her head up to look at Ye Ming, who was almost a head taller than her.

The little cutie's inner monologue:

What does Ye Ming usually eat? Why is he so tall?

Yan Yan should eat well and eat more so that she can grow as tall as Ye Ming, so that she won't have to look up at him anymore.

If possible, the little boy wishes he could be taller than Ye Ming so he could look down at him.

Just thinking about it made Xiao Yanbao feel wonderful, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up in a smile...

Ye Ming glanced at the little girl with indifferent eyes and said matter-of-factly:

"The night breeze is gentle and refreshing. What's wrong with me going out for a walk and getting some fresh air?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanbao's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of inquiry appeared in her gaze as she looked at Ye Ming. She said:

"I always felt that you wouldn't just appear in a place for no reason. Yan Yan had a bad feeling."

After all, Ye Ming is a highly skilled Taoist priest, and every time he appears, something happens, just like Conan.

Therefore, Xiao Yanbao couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that something bad might happen to their Li family manor because of Ye Ming's arrival.

Before Ye Ming could respond to Xiao Yanbao's words, the third brother, Li Muhao, who had not seen his sister in the library, ran out to look for Xiao Yanbao.

Upon seeing his younger sister, Li Muhao quickly called out, "Yanbao, why aren't you hiding? Your second brother will be coming to find us soon!"

This time, they can't be found so easily by their second brother.

Otherwise, he would be quite smug, probably with his tail wagging in the air.

Xiao Yanbao then realized that her game of hide-and-seek with her brothers wasn't over yet!

"Third brother, Yan Yan will be here soon!"

The little girl quickly responded to her third brother, Li Muhao, then turned to look at Ye Ming standing in the night. She hesitated for a moment, biting her lip, but still extended a friendly invitation to him:

"Would you like to play hide-and-seek with us?"

Ye Ming gently shook his head, maintaining his composure, and said, "Forget it, I am, after all, an elder, and an elder should act like one. It would be improper for me to play hide-and-seek with you juniors!"

His arrogant attitude successfully made Xiao Yanbao's fist harden. He really wanted to pin him to the ground and give him a good beating!

"Do whatever you want!"

The little boy snorted loudly at Ye Ming and turned to leave.

She hadn't gone far when she heard Ye Mingqing's beautiful voice carried by the summer night breeze into her ears.

"I've already done the calculations for you guys. It's best if you don't go near anything that belongs to the wood element tonight, as it might attract bad things and bring more trouble. For your safety, I advise you to end the game as soon as possible and go back to the brightly lit banquet hall for greater safety."

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Yanbao turned her head to look, but Ye Ming had already turned and left.

Staring at that slender figure for a few seconds, Xiao Yanbao didn't think too much about it because of her third brother Li Muhao's urging. She took the hand that her third brother Li Muhao was extending to her and stepped into the library.

In order to prevent Li Muchen from winning this round of hide-and-seek, the other members of the Li family, including the Calabash Brothers and Xiao Yanbao, used their trump card, hiding in the library, a place Li Muchen would almost never set foot in.

"Third brother, have the other brothers hidden themselves yet?"

Holding her third brother Li Muhao's hand, Xiao Yanbao walked along the corridor. She felt that the surroundings were quiet, and apart from the sound of her and her third brother's footsteps, she could hardly hear any other noise.

Presumably, the other brothers have already hidden themselves.

According to the rules of hide-and-seek, once you're hidden, you can't make any more noise.

"It should be hidden by now."

Li Muhao said uncertainly, squeezing Xiao Yanbao's hand in return, and said with a smile, "I guess it's just the two of us who haven't hidden properly yet."

The little boy turned to look at his third brother, Li Muhao, and chimed in, "No wonder the library is so quiet, there's not a sound at all."

"It's usually very quiet here. Grandpa only sends someone to pick up a book when he needs it."

As Li Muhao talked to Xiao Yanbao, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. "It's probably because there are too few people coming here. I always feel that this library lacks a lot of life, and the temperature inside is also much lower than the other rooms."

The worst part is that the air conditioning wasn't on in the building, so it was chilly and gave me a creepy feeling.

Li Muhao couldn't help but shudder, feeling as if something had tugged at his heart, and he instantly became somewhat nervous.

"Yanbao, don't be afraid, your third brother will always be by your side to protect you!"

Li Muhao suddenly made a solemn promise to Xiao Yanbao, but in reality, he was the one who was scared.

Xiao Yanbao is very perceptive and has naturally noticed this.

To save face for her third brother, the little boy nodded obediently and said, "Yes, thank you, third brother. Yan Yan will always stay by your side."

Upon hearing this, Li Muhao was so moved that he almost burst into tears on the spot.

He couldn't help but reach out and gently rub the little bundle's head, saying from the bottom of his heart, "Yanbao is such a good boy!"

The brother and sister held hands and searched the corridor for a while before finally finding a suitable hiding place.

They pushed open the door and went inside, only to find a piano room that had been abandoned for a long time, with an antique piano that looked very valuable placed in the center of the room.

The instrument is large, and there is also a lot of space underneath, making it a perfect place to play hide-and-seek.

The brother and sister exchanged a knowing glance, then walked towards the antique piano and hid underneath it...
