The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, and coupled with her obedient little face with her head down, Helian Ci raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.

He thought this little coward was terrified of him, but then he noticed the girl secretly swallowing.

A hint of amusement flashed across Helian Ci's dark eyes, which were like deep pools. He put down the book in his hand and took the bowl of strawberry shaved ice with his long, pale hand.

Sisi let go of her little hand, watching helplessly as the bright red, tempting strawberry shaved ice slowly drifted away from her.

Helian Si sniffed, turned her pink face away with heartache, pulled her little hands back behind her back, and secretly tugged at her little skirt.

I'm not heartbroken, I'm not heartbroken. She's a grateful and obedient girl.

"Want some?"

Just as the little girl was about to turn and leave, Helian Ci's slightly hoarse and low voice came from above.

Helian Si blinked, tilted his little face up to meet Helian Ci's dark eyes, which were like deep pools, and shook his head resolutely.

"No, this is for the Second Prince."

Helian Ci raised an eyebrow. Tsk, I didn't realize that this little coward knew how to be modest.

His gaze fell on the bowl of strawberry ice in his hand. Helian Ci picked up a small spoon, scooped up a strawberry, and placed it in front of the little girl.

Under the little girl's slightly widened eyes, her face filled with disbelief, he spoke softly.

"Eat."

In this situation, Sisi felt like she was in a dream. Was this kind and understanding young man really her sickly and sharp-tongued second brother from Daming Lake?

"Really, is it really possible?"

Looking at the bright red and tempting pieces of strawberry in front of him, Helian Si swallowed hard, but still hesitated and dared not take a bite.

"Not eating? If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away."

Helian Ci grew somewhat impatient, slightly raised his hand, and spoke softly.

Throw it away? No way!!!

"Awoo~!" With her short arms, Sisi grabbed Helian Ci's hand, opened her little mouth, and ate the strawberry pieces from the spoon in one gulp.

"Mmm~ So delicious~"

The sweet strawberries burst in his mouth, and Helian Si was so happy that his grape-like, moist eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Helian Ci smiled almost imperceptibly, resisting the urge to reach out and pinch the little girl's soft cheeks. He moved his hand slightly and scooped up another strawberry to feed the little girl.

Once you've had one, you'll have two. After eating it once, Helian Si ate the second strawberry with incredible ease.

Soon, Helian Si finished the strawberry pieces in the shaved ice. Helian Si stared longingly at the shaved ice in the bowl.

This time, Helian Ci didn't intend to feed Helian Si. Instead, he reached out and pinched the little girl's soft cheek.

His slightly hoarse voice was low and deep, "If the little one eats too much ice, he'll get diarrhea."

Diarrhea?

Sisi instinctively raised her little hands to cover her tummy, looked at the bowl of shaved ice, and took two steps back with her short legs.

She doesn't want to have diarrhea!

A smile flickered across Helian Ci's sickly pale face, and a gentle glint, unnoticed even by himself, appeared in his deep, dark eyes.

Yeah, this little coward is pretty easy to fool.

After eating several strawberries, Helian Si patted his belly, licked his little lips, and his rosy face was full of happy pink bubbles.

"Second brother, lower your head, Sisi has something to tell you."

Helian Si waved his short hand at Helian Ci, who was sitting in a wheelchair, his grape-like eyes sparkling.

Helian Ci raised an eyebrow slightly, and obediently lowered his head.

"Smack~!" Sisi tiptoed and left a drool mark on Helian Ci's sickly pale face, the strawberry-flavored kind.

"Thank you for the strawberry shaved ice, Second Prince!"

The soft, sweet voice of the young girl filled his ears, but Helian Ci stood frozen in place, his mind blank, with only one thought in his mind:

Oh no, he's not clean anymore...
