Three-and-a-half-year-old Chao Chao runs away from home because she is afraid of getting beaten up. She accidentally bonds with a system meant to redeem villains. Her task is to persuade villains t...
"Is that... your brother?"
Ji Shize tugged at Chaochao's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"Who...who is it..." Lingling immediately perked up, excitedly craning her neck to look. "Is he Brother Jiang Chi? So many girls in our class like him!"
Although Jiang Chiren is a bit of a jerk, he is still a top influencer recognized by the entire internet, with countless fans of all ages and genders.
After being reminded by her two friends, Chaochao suddenly realized that she had not yet introduced Pei Yushen.
“He’s my brother, but not that brother…” The little dumpling excitedly pulled the two of them to the boy. “His name is Yu Shen.”
After introducing the children on this side, the little dumpling turned to the other side, "Brother Yushen, this is Brother Shize and Sister Lingling, they are my best friends!"
Under the watchful eyes of her friends, Chaochao, whose emotional intelligence suddenly kicked in, emphasized the words "the best," making the two children feel quite flattered.
"Hello, Brother Chaochao~"
The two little ones greeted Pei Yushen obediently.
The boy in the wheelchair remained silent, and after a long while, he simply nodded slightly.
Ji Shize carefully observed the boy's indifferent expression, then covered his mouth and whispered in the little dumpling's ear, "Chaochao, why isn't your older brother saying anything..."
She's familiar with this problem because that's how she got here.
The little dumpling waved her hand without any attempt to hide it, a gesture she was already used to, to comfort her dear friend:
"Don't be afraid, Brother Shize. Brother Yushen just doesn't talk much, but he's a very nice person!"
That sentence sounds familiar. Ji Shize recalled that it was like that when they first met at the banquet, Chaochao introduced her father, Huo Qin, in this way...
As soon as the little dumpling finished speaking, Ji Shize felt a gaze fall on him. He turned his head and saw Chaochao's older brother, whom he had never seen before. His black hair half-covered his dark eyes, and he was completely emotionless, like a damp and cold inkstone in a mountain stream.
But Ji Shize touched the goosebumps on his hands, and he had a gut feeling that this young man was not happy right now.
Lingling, standing to the side, exclaimed in a daze, "Chaochao, your brothers are all so handsome..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Shize immediately reached out and touched his face, comforting himself. His mother had indeed praised him as a handsome young man, and he wouldn't let Chaochao down.
Praising her brothers' good looks was equivalent to praising her own Chaochao. She nodded affirmatively at Lingling's praise: "Yes, they are very good-looking! Just like... like a little prince from heaven!"
After racking his brains, Chao Chao finally came up with a metaphor.
"What prince? The Amusement Park Prince?"
Lingling pressed for more information.
Pei Yushen: "..."
"But why is your brother in a wheelchair?"
After admiring the handsome man, Lingling finally voiced her initial confusion, and Ji Shize also perked up his ears.
The children's seemingly quiet discussion actually reached Pei Yushen's ears without missing a single word.
Especially when their undisguised curious gazes furtively swept over his legs.
His fingers curled uncontrollably, and the bizarre shadows of the trees were cast on his white shirt and black trousers, covering them with a thin layer of gray gauze that made it hard to breathe.
Chaochao: "Because Brother Yushen is sick, he has to ride in the little car. He won't have to ride in it anymore once he gets better."
"Is that so?" Ji Shize scratched his head. In his memory, only people with leg injuries would use a wheelchair, but this older brother didn't have a cast or anything.
"Yes, that's right." Chaochao gave her a "why would I lie to you?" look. She tilted her head and said in a childish voice, "Besides, little cars are so cool, you can sit and not walk."
Ji Shize was gradually led astray: "What you... said seems to make a lot of sense?"
Pei Yushen, who was the focus of the conversation, lowered his eyelashes slightly, remained silent, and his lips grew paler and paler.
Lingling tugged at Chaochao's little skirt: "Does your brother want to play with us today?"
"I'm not going." Pei Yushen pursed his thin lips, his voice calm. "You guys have fun."
Ji Shize turned around and glanced at the driver waiting behind them. "How about we take your brother home first, and then you can come to my house to play, Chaochao?"
Chaochao thought there was no problem, but the next second the boy's cold voice rang out: "No need to see me off, I'll go back by myself."
Go back by yourself? No way!
"Brother Yu Shen, have you forgotten about my little white sheep?"
The little dumpling opened its big, watery eyes and pointed worriedly at the balloon floating above its head.
Pei Yu, no longer alone but now burdened with the life of a sheep, took a deep breath: "..."
The friends finally decided that Chaochao would call Aunt Song using his little smartwatch, and within three minutes a Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase arrived and picked up the three dwarfs and the Amusement Prince.
Of course, this was on the premise that the Huo family had notified the Ji family's driver in advance.
Through the car window, she watched the boy push his wheelchair and disappear into the gate of the Huo residence. Only after he was out of sight did Chaochao relax and slump onto the comfortable cushion.
Great! This way, the auntie who's running won't be able to see her slacking off, hehe.
The Ji family also lives in this complex, but since he has to go to kindergarten, Ji Shize is often not home when Chaochao is home, so they always miss each other perfectly.
So when the kindergarten announced a half-day holiday today, Ji Shize came to play with Chaochao as soon as he finished packing his things.
The Ji family residence and the Huo residence are about a 20-minute drive apart.
