The little girl immediately put her hands behind her back after realizing what was happening, which suggests she might be hiding something.

He curled his lips into a slight smile and asked her calmly, "What's next?"

Mo Xiaoqing bit her lip, tilted her head back to look at him, but stubbornly refused to show him her hands hidden behind her back.

Seeing this, Mo Yanyu didn't ask any further questions, a faint smile still playing on her lips. "So, where does the mouse plan to sneak off to this time?"

He wasn't that curious to pry, after all, even if she didn't say it, he could guess that she most likely intended to give it to…

"Hehe." Mo Xiaoqing felt very dissatisfied when she heard her brother mention the word "mouse" repeatedly, but when she met his all-knowing eyes, she immediately deflated and didn't have the courage to discuss the issue with him anymore!

She thought her brother's smile was really weird, especially like the prelude to him getting angry...

She forced a stiff smile, her expression awkward, and lied through her teeth, "I just came out for a stroll, to admire the moon and enjoy the scenery."

To prove she was telling the truth, she nodded earnestly.

"..." Mo Yanyu calmly looked up, but instead of seeing the moon the little girl had mentioned, he saw dark clouds...

And the scenery…

What kind of scenery can you expect in a snowy winter?

Doesn't he understand her? This little girl probably wants to be wrapped in a blanket right now and wouldn't even want to come out to "see the scenery"!

He calmly continued to expose her lie, "Didn't you say you wanted to sleep?"

"Ah." Mo Xiaoqing remembered that she had used this excuse to sneak out while her aunt, grandparents, and others were staying up to welcome the New Year. She immediately realized, "Yes, I wanted to sleep! But for some reason, I couldn't fall asleep as soon as I lay down in bed!"

Mo Yanyu, “…” That’s because she was thinking what Ji Muhan was thinking…

He was simply too lazy to listen to her make up any more excuses.

He turned around and walked outside.

After taking a couple of steps, he noticed the little girl behind him was still standing there, dazed. He paused, turned his head, and faced Mo Xiaoqing, asking calmly, "Aren't you going to catch up?"

"Huh?" Mo Xiaoqing was clearly taken aback.

Mo Yanyu frowned. "I'll take you there."

He felt terrible. The little girl he had spoiled since childhood had grown up and had her own ideas. Now she knew how to keep things from him and would leave quietly wherever she went.
